Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

One hour later.

The eighteen people returned to the station.

Everyone returned to their respective carriages and waited quietly for the train doors to open.

Su Jin's gaze shifted from carriage number one towards carriage number five.

Wang Ze and Xia Yan were standing in the open space in front of carriage number five. Wang Ze was looking down at his system panel, and Xia Yan was standing beside him.

Su Jin stepped forward and stood in front of Wang Ze: "My team has lost two members. Do you want to join us? The next trial will likely be a three-star difficulty. Our chances of survival will be greater if we work together."

Wang Ze looked up at her, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, and instead of answering immediately, turned his head to look at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan nodded slightly. In her opinion, following Su Jin was much more reliable than following Jiang Ning. Although Su Jin had some peculiar habits, he was generally a decent person.

Wang Ze turned back to Su Jin: "Okay, Xiao Yan and I will join your team."

He paused for a moment, then added the second half of the sentence: "But the premise is, don't make any moves on Xiaoyan."

Su Jin's expression shifted slightly, as if she was momentarily annoyed by something, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your girlfriend."

As Su Jin spoke, she glanced in the direction of carriage number three, her gaze lingering on Wen Ning for a moment before quickly looking away. Since leaving the main hall, Wen Ning hadn't looked at her once again.

"That's fine, I'll join your team."

Wang Ze readily agreed.

Su Jin didn't say anything more and turned to walk back to carriage number one.

He brushed past Wen Ning as he passed carriage number three.

Wen Ning still didn't look at her.

After Su Jin walked away, Qin Zhaoyang's gossip-loving spirit ignited. He leaned close to Wen Ning and whispered, "What exactly happened between you and Su Jin inside the portal?"

Wen Ning glanced at him, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "What else could it be? She's fallen for me. She's a lesbian, didn't you all know that back in Mirror City?"

Qin Zhaoyang's expression froze for about half a second, then he chuckled twice and pulled his head back.

"Zhaoyang, you said you saw me kill that boss and pick up the loot. How did you see that? Did you guys find something inside the portal?"

Zhao Hai voiced his doubts.

Qin Zhaoyang glanced at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye nodded slightly.

Qin Zhaoyang cleared his throat, then lowered his voice and recounted the key points of what had happened inside the portal.

The talking tree, the various halls seen in the light screen, the seed glowing green, and the A-level skill book he got from the tree bark-faced man.

After listening for a few seconds, Zhao Hai remained silent for a moment before asking, "After you ate that seed, did you feel anything unusual in your body?"

Qin Zhaoyang shook his head: "No, I don't feel anything."

"You have a really big heart."

Seeing that Qin Zhaoyang seemed completely unconcerned about swallowing the seed, Wen Ning was extremely impressed by his nonchalant attitude.

Qin Zhaoyang scratched the back of his head and grinned: "So what? I went there with the determination to die. Now that I'm alive, isn't that a win? Besides, I even got an A-level skill book for the class monitor."

He paused, then added, "But I don't think that tree-bark man meant any harm. Oh well, whatever, I'll just live one day at a time."

Chen Ye remained leaning against the carriage wall without saying a word.

His gaze fell on the gray-white daylight in the distance from the platform, and a sentence kept replaying in his mind: the last words the bark man had said, "We'll meet again."

Things are definitely not that simple.

Just then, a "click" sound interrupted Chen Ye's thoughts.

The doors of all eight carriages were slid open simultaneously.

Chen Ye stepped into the carriage first, followed closely by Zhao Hai and the others.

He returned to his seat and sat down, and the system settlement panel popped up automatically.

A blue light curtain unfolded before his eyes.

[Blood Mist Forest Trial Rewards Settlement!]

The screen flickered, and new information appeared.

[Gain 3 free attribute points (free attribute points do not benefit from talent and skill bonuses)]

He continued to allocate all 3 points of his free attribute to Agility, which had become his standard practice.

With the item Shadow Ring, his agility attribute won't lag too much behind his strength and constitution.

He then switched to his own attribute panel.

Free attribute points: 0 points

10000 points, a goal I've been accumulating since the first day of the survival trial, has finally been achieved at this moment.

Without hesitation, Chen Ye quickly swiped his finger across the screen to switch to the system store interface.

In the special items section, the S-rank skill selection chest, which can only be purchased once, lies quietly at the bottom of the list.

He extended his finger and clicked to redeem.

A system notification popped up, and the points instantly changed from 10220 to 220.

Then, a dark-colored treasure chest appeared in his storage space.

Chen Ye flipped his hand and took the skill treasure chest out of his storage space.

The treasure chest is entirely dark gold, with no text on its surface, only a faint halo flowing across its surface.

Qin Zhaoyang, who was sitting next to him, immediately leaned closer and asked, "Is this the S-rank skill selection chest?"

"right."

Chen Ye nodded slightly.

Wen Ning and Zhou Yating in the front row turned around at the same time, leaned on the back of their chairs, and focused their attention on the treasure chest in his hands.

Zhao Hai, who was across the aisle, also stood up, walked to Chen Ye's seat, rested his arms on the back of the seat, and did not speak, but his gaze was also fixed on the dark gold box.

Chen Ye brought up the item information panel.

A blue light screen unfolded in front of him, displaying four categories: Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit, with the four labels arranged side by side at the top of the screen.
