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

Qin Zhaoyang leaned back in his seat and sighed, "They've even started discriminating against each other now. This is really pointless."

Chen Ye smiled and didn't delve deeper into the topic of the mission. He switched the system screen in front of him to the ranking leaderboard and quickly swiped his finger across the screen, scanning the information of the top few.

Unsurprisingly, he maintained his top position with a level of 32, followed by Gu Qinghuan at level 31, and Yang Minghui at level 30.

Just as Gu Qinghuan said, their train will participate in the four-star trial with only three passengers who have reached level 30.

Below the three of them, only Lu Qingchuan reached level 29.

Zhao Hai, Wen Ning, Jiang Ning, and Lu Qingchuan's three teammates, along with several passengers from the merged train who were at a slightly higher level, are now only level 28.

The reason the three of them were able to differentiate themselves in rank was because they accumulated a large number of points in the death guessing game.

There are currently 56 passengers remaining on the train. The train merger has not been triggered, and naturally, there are no high-level passengers to replenish the ranks. The outlook for the next trial remains grim.

"Click—!"

The mechanical sound of the carriage doors closing echoed through the empty carriage.

The train shuddered slightly, a dull metallic scraping sound came from the wheels and the rails, and then it began to accelerate slowly.

The scenery outside the car window began to recede, and the towering white wall of the maze slowly moved across the view before being completely swallowed up by the surging gray-white mist.

The thick fog surged in from all directions like living things, wriggling and rolling against the car windows, completely obscuring everything outside.

The sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails gradually rose from a low frequency, and the vehicle body transitioned from a slow sliding motion to a smooth high-speed driving state.

Chen Ye leaned back in his seat and exhaled a breath of stale air.

My nerves, which had been tense for seven days, finally relaxed at this moment.

The intense battles in the maze trial, the life-or-death struggles on the death guessing arena, and the thrilling final showdown with Zheng Xiao all gradually sank into the depths of my consciousness with the white noise of the car stabilizing.

Then a familiar synthesized voice announced: "Passengers, Death Train G4939 will arrive in Infinite City in two hours. The train will stay in Infinite City for three days. Have a pleasant journey."

"Infinite City? Time to rest again," Qin Zhaoyang, who was slumped in his chair, immediately sat up straight. He glanced at Chen Ye and said, "This death game is actually pretty good; it gives us a break regularly."

Zhao Hai, sitting across the aisle, also breathed a sigh of relief: "We've already participated in three survival trials in a row. If we don't get a break soon, we'll all collapse."

"This is indeed good news, and it can also help prepare for the next four-star survival trial."

Chen Ye summoned the system points shop again, and a blue light screen unfolded before his eyes.

He quickly swiped his fingers across the screen a few times, exchanging for another 70 Energy Potions. Combined with the 10 he had exchanged earlier, he now had a total purchasing power of 48000 points, hoping to boost his strength in Infinite City this time.

Across the aisle, Zhao Hai asked, "Should we exchange all our points for potions too?"

Chen Ye closed the system screen and turned to Zhao Hai: "Brother Hai, keep your points. Once you reach level 30, you can exchange them for potions. Ordinary potions are no longer enough after level 30. Potions are much more cost-effective. This time, when you go to Infinite City, see if you can exchange that obsidian spear for the weapon you need."

Zhao Hai nodded slightly: "I'll listen to you."

Wen Ning, sitting in the front row, turned around and looked at Chen Ye: "I still have some points left over after exchanging them for the S-level skill selection chest, so I'll keep them for now."

Chen Ye nodded slightly: "Yes, class monitor and Zhao Yang should continue to accumulate points. After one more trial, you will have 10,000 points."

Zhou Yeting nodded slightly; her points were about to break 10,000.

Qin Zhaoyang, who was listening to their conversation, suddenly grinned and said, "I was wondering where the potion came from. Turns out it can only be exchanged at level 30. Well, this time we can finally see what it's like."

Chen Ye turned his head: "What do you mean?"

Qin Zhaoyang chuckled, straightening up a bit in his seat, his tone carrying a smug air of "I finally know something you don't know": "Brother Ye, you slept soundly in the hotel the first two times you entered Infinite City, so of course you don't know anything. I've explored the entire Infinite City. You only know that there's a trading area in the West City, right? You probably don't know anything about the other places."

Chen Ye looked at him without refuting, because he genuinely didn't know.

The first two times he went to Infinite City, he was either researching how to equip the team or staying in the hotel to rest and recuperate.

Aside from the trading markets in the west of the city, his knowledge of the city was indeed limited to the layout of the streets and the hotels.

Seeing that Chen Ye didn't speak, Qin Zhaoyang continued, "To put it bluntly, the trading area in the west city is just a place for street vendors to trade resources, and it's also a place for low-level players to trade resources. The real good stuff is in the south city."

"Last time I wandered over there by chance and saw a really impressive building. I wanted to go in, but the people at the door stopped me and said that the ticket cost a potion. Where would I get a potion? So I squatted at the door for a long time and finally found out that it was an exchange inside."

Wen Ning turned around again from the front row: "Zhao Yang, you're quite something. This is indeed valuable information."

She and Zhou Yating spent a day exploring the Infinite City but didn't find the place Qin Zhaoyang had mentioned.

Qin Zhaoyang scratched the back of his head: "I was just bored, and since I had nothing better to do, I wandered around aimlessly and ended up there. I was even thinking that it would be great if I could go in and take a look. Now that our levels have gone up and we have some potions, we should be able to go in and see what's going on, right?"

Wen Ning rested her chin on her hand and said thoughtfully, "Since there is an exchange in the South District, it is indeed necessary to go and take a look. According to Zhao Yang, the ticket costs one potion. The people who participate in the trading inside should all be high-level passengers above level 30, and the quality of the goods is naturally much higher than that of the open-air stalls in the West District."

Chen Ye nodded slightly: "This is indeed useful information. Let's go and broaden our horizons together this time."

If what Qin Zhaoyang said is true, it is indeed easier to buy good things.

Since leaving the Infinite City, they have gone through three trials and acquired a lot of resources. He has five silver treasure chests and one gold treasure chest, but he doesn't have a single key.

The man who sold them skill books when they first came to Infinite City was right: treasure chests are easy to obtain, but keys are hard to come by.

He has quite a few items now, including three rings, a White Tiger Seal, and jewelry items that are all status-related. These items are still far inferior to skills.

If they could acquire a defensive skill, they would have more confidence in the later four-star trials. Their survival in the maze trial was largely due to luck; if Zheng Xiao hadn't been careless in that round, he might have been the one who died.

Gu Qinghuan, sitting in the back row, remained silent throughout the entire process, and she also exchanged her points for an energy potion.

The carriage fell silent.

The fact that the next stop was Infinite City brought a sigh of relief to everyone, as they could at least rest peacefully for three days.
