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

The blue score number above Chen Ye's head surged from 12200 to 28850.

He glanced down at Zheng Xiao's corpse, then squatted down and gently closed Zheng Xiao's still-open eyes: "You're ruthless and strong, but you're too confident."

Then his gaze fell on the black spear that Zheng Xiao was still gripping tightly in his hand.

The gun was dark all over, with a steady, pale purple halo flowing across its surface. Even when Zheng Xiao fell, it did not leave his hand.

Chen Ye reached out and pulled the spear from Zheng Xiao's fingers. It was icy cold to the touch, and the weight and balance of the spear were very similar to his Dragon Scale Halberd, only the colors were completely opposite.

He summoned the item attribute panel, and a pale blue light screen unfolded in front of him.

Obsidian Spear (Purple Quality)

[Effect: Strength +30]

[Note: Increases the user's Strength attribute by 30 points. Equipment-based attribute bonuses do not benefit from talent or skill amplification.]

Chen Ye glanced at the item information, then swept his gaze over Zheng Xiao's corpse, finally settling on the crimson ring on the middle finger of his right hand.

In the battle just now, Zheng Xiao did not use any props from beginning to end, but there is no reason why a passenger of this level and an opponent of this strength would not have any props.

He bent down and took off the crimson ring from Zheng Xiao's right hand.

The ring felt warm to the touch, with a fine, scaly pattern on its surface. He brought up the item's attribute panel.

[Item: Flame Dragon Ring]

[Rank: Silver]

[Effect: Activates the Dragon Power state for 30 minutes, tripling base strength. Stacks with talents. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

"It's actually an item that directly increases damage."

Chen Ye's gaze lingered on the line of instructions for a moment longer before he put the crimson ring on the index finger of his left hand.

To be honest, Zheng Xiao is ridiculously strong. He doesn't even need to use any items to defeat him. If it weren't for the Ice Mirror, an item with an attack mechanism that reflects everything, which tricked Zheng Xiao, he would have been dead here today.

Of course, Zheng Xiao might also be saving the items for later matches. Gu Qinghuan still has three betting coins, so Zheng Xiao would have to defeat Gu Qinghuan three more times to win.

Just then, a system notification flashed before his eyes.

The winner of the death guessing game receives +3000 points.

The blue score number above Chen Ye's head jumped again, from 28850 to 31850.

At the same time, the semi-transparent barrier around the arena began to dissipate, and the light curtain began to crumble from the top, breaking into countless tiny specks of light that drifted outwards and disappeared completely before touching the ground.

Qin Zhaoyang was the first to rush over.

He practically lunged to the edge of the ring, stumbling slightly, but his speed didn't slow down at all. He staggered over to Chen Ye, shouting, "Brother Ye! You scared me to death! I thought you were really going to die!"

"I was really lucky this time." Chen Ye's gaze fell on the corpse on the ground, still in the position of drawing its gun. "You saw it too, I really couldn't beat him."

Qin Zhaoyang's gaze also fell on Zheng Xiao's corpse on the ground: "This guy is really strong. This is the first time I've seen Brother Ye get beaten up so badly. In the past, no matter who the opponent was, you would take them down with one shot, or at least it would be over in a few rounds. This time you almost died."

"Therefore, we need to acquire more resources to ensure our survival: skills, items, the more the better."

This one battle alone made him feel a sense of crisis. In the past, he thought that he could be invincible with his SSS-level talent with high basic attribute growth.

This time, Zheng Xiao taught him a lesson, defeating him with a single defensive skill, leaving him unable to lift his head. His talent was top-notch, but his skills were far from sufficient; an S-level attack skill was far from enough.

At this moment, Gu Qinghuan, Zhao Hai, Wen Ning, Zhou Yating, Lu Qingchuan, Yang Minghui and Liang Jing all came over.

Chen Ye raised his hand and handed the icy mirror to Gu Qinghuan: "Here you go. We really owe this prop to you this time."

Gu Qinghuan reached out and took the Frost Mirror, putting it into her storage space. She looked up at Chen Ye and said, "You acted quite well. Even I thought you were really going to give up."

"If your acting skills aren't up to par, you won't be able to fool Zheng Xiao."

Chen Ye smiled, a smile that carried a hint of relaxation after exhaustion.

Then he handed the obsidian spear in his hand to Zhao Hai: "Brother Hai, you can have this purple-quality spear."

Zhao Hai's gaze lingered on the black gun for a moment, then he reached out, took it, and swung it around a couple of times: "It's a bit heavy, but it feels pretty good in the hand."

Although he only learned fist techniques, it didn't stop him from using a spear for basic attacks; the purple-quality weapon provided a real 30-point strength bonus.

Yang Minghui walked up from behind, adjusted his frameless glasses, and said, "This trial was a close call. We are now leading the other side by 200,000 points, and there are only a few hours left before the trial ends."

Chen Ye nodded slightly, bent down to pick up his Dragon Scale Ancient Halberd from the ground, and then looked at the head of the long table. The middle-aged man who had hosted the death guessing game was nowhere to be seen.

The three passengers on train G4899 who didn't participate in the death guessing game have also slipped away, and the stone doors at the entrances to the passageways around the hall are now all open.

"Those three on the other side have made their escape. There should be surviving passengers from the other side in every passageway here. Let's grab their points before the rules eliminate them and level up for you. Let's go!"

After saying this, Chen Ye picked up his spear and walked towards a passage on the right side of the hall.

Gu Qinghuan, Zhao Hai, and the others followed closely behind.

Lu Qingchuan brought up the system chat and sent a message to his teammates.

Yang Minghui stood there, watching Chen Ye and the other six disappear into the passageway, then turned his head to glance at Liang Jing standing beside him.

Liang Jing crossed her arms and stared at the departing group. Her expression was neither friendly nor hostile, just a kind of unpleasant silence.

"You seem to harbor considerable hostility towards that Gu Qinghuan."

Yang Minghui spoke casually, as if it were just a casual remark.

Liang Jing turned her head and looked at Yang Minghui's face: "I wouldn't say hostile, I just think she's too pretentious."

Yang Minghui smiled and said, "She has the ability to pretend, or maybe that's just her personality."

Then he changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious: "I have to remind you, you'd better tone down your hostility. We used to be so domineering, but now we should be more humble. If you continue to treat people with the same attitude you used to, you'll only be the one who suffers."

Liang Jing pursed her lips, then turned her head slightly, turning her gaze back from the direction of the passageway: "Alright, I understand. Let's go, let's go earn some points too."

Yang Minghui nodded, looked away, and stepped towards another passage on the right.

Liang Jing followed behind him, and their figures were quickly swallowed up by the shadows at the entrance of the passage.

The hall fell silent, leaving only Lu Qingchuan waiting for his teammates.

About two minutes later, Jiang Ning walked out from a passage on the left. He glanced at Lu Qingchuan but did not stop at all. He quickly walked through the hall and entered a passage on the right.

Based on the changes in total points and the system notification that he would receive an additional 3000 points, he naturally knew that the train battle was over and that all the high-level players on the other side were dead. He couldn't miss such a good opportunity to rack up points.
