The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly
Chapter 50 Luxury Sightseeing Train
Chapter 50 Luxury Sightseeing Train (1)
Speaking of this, Lei Qingya couldn't help but feel sad.
Her father always held a haughty disdain for the secret spirits.
He had never come into contact with the secret spirits, yet he could say to her with great righteousness: "So-called pollution is nothing but a fig leaf for those with bankrupt willpower."
He believed that a strong heart could make one immune to the secret spirits, and that wasting energy and money on the secret spirits was unreasonable.
"My mother and Mr. Shen are divorced."
Shen Zhaoming often introduces himself with this sentence. He doesn't mind others knowing his family situation.
Rather than waiting for others to piece together the school director's son's broken family through whispers, he would rather tear open the scabbed scars with his own hands.
Except for the last time when he almost died and received help from Director Shen, he had never received any help from Mr. Shen at other times.
Shen Zhaoming understood deeply that Director Shen saved him only to save face and prevent people in the circle from laughing at him for being a school director and not caring about his eldest son's crisis.
With five minutes left before the start, Su Ninglong asked them to put on the earrings.
"This is a women's style. I have earrings that look better than these." Lian Xinyi refused to wear it and showed off his cool ear bone studs.
He is a boy and doesn't want such effeminate earrings.
"Is that a holy weapon?" Lei Qingya pressed it into his hand. "Wear it if I tell you to. Su Ninglong is leading the team, so listen to the captain. Everyone will call out their code names later. In the secret spirit world, calling out names can be dangerous."
The boy put it on reluctantly, and the cold metal made his earlobes numb.
He touched it and felt something strange. "This function is..."
Sally suddenly said in surprise: "Just shake your head harder."
Lian Xinyi half-believed and half-doubted, he followed her instructions. As his head turned left and right, the earrings swung out in an icy blue arc.
My heart suddenly calmed down, and all my impatience quickly dissipated like bubbles at receding tide.
Lian Xinyi was astonished. "Isn't this stronger than the Spirit Anchor? It doesn't hurt. When did they dig out five copies of this holy artifact?"
After learning about its efficacy, he happily continued to swing it, "My goodness, the holy weapon is so useful. Did Yun Xinglie lend it to you?"
Su Ninglong didn't answer.
The son of the school director, codenamed Mogui, was wiping his lenses. He replaced his ordinary glasses with the same pair he used for environmental data analysis.
He caught a glimpse of Su Ninglong carefully adjusting the position of his equipment, and his confusion grew even stronger. Su Ninglong didn't look like a four-year-old child at all.
Su Ninglong doesn't care what other people think. The current known uses of the True Self Mirror are to predict danger and reflect the truth.
However, it requires input of spiritual energy to activate, which consumes a lot of spiritual energy and cannot be used frequently.
She put it in the pocket in front of her chest. If she didn't need it in the copy, it could also be used to block fatal physical attacks.
Lian Xinyi was still chattering, "We usually have Mo Gui as the captain, he has more experience. Ning Long, do you want to give him the captaincy?"
Shen Zhaoming took off his glasses. "It was a forced experience. Being the captain of a team that failed an avalanche is like holding a colander to catch a rainstorm. You're all too reckless. I can't lead you."
Sally asked curiously, "What's the failure rate? My failure rate is 70%, but I've only entered ten instances."
"That's also 70%." Lian Xinyi proudly held up three fingers and said, "With fifty dungeons this year, this statistic puts us in the upper middle tier of so many teams."
"Are you all using the failure rate to show off your achievements? Reality is not the rewind point of the game. If you were to carry out the mission in reality, wouldn't your entire army be annihilated? How did you do that?" Su Ninglong's voice caused the air temperature to drop three degrees.
Lian Xinyi blushed. "Aren't you a newbie too? As you accumulate more matches, your failure rate will naturally increase."
Okay, okay, we can still calculate it this way.
In reality, they don’t know how many times they have died.
It’s hard work and wisdom to pull up these useless online hunters.
"When dealing with secret spirits in reality, there's no chance for a second try. Even if I have to fight an unprepared battle, I must win."
Su Ninglong understood from them why most online hunters cannot become hunters.
There is something wrong with the mentality of online hunters, they all have a lucky mentality.
Just a one-star Mystic Shadow Crawler alone is enough to give them a hard time, not to mention higher levels.
But in reality, there is no chance for trial and error.
Next, Su Ninglong chooses the difficulty level.
Lian Xinyi and Lei Qingya both suggested that she start with one-tenth of the strength of a one-star secret spirit.
The ancestor doesn't need others to question her, everyone listens to her.
Among all the secret spirits she took in, she picked a one-star secret spirit that had retained 100% of its strength, and then set the difficulty to the maximum.
The other four people: “???”
【Countdown three, two, one.】
A feeling of weightlessness came over me.
When the feeling of weightlessness fades, the rusty smell of the cast iron railings is the first to invade the senses.
They were standing in the open-air tail compartment at the rear of a moving train.
It is like a large terrace of a house, with the train carriage behind it and magnificent scenery along the way on the other three sides.
"What's going on? Is there such an outdated train? And it's an antique century train model?" Sally's fingertips brushed across the carved guardrail, and the wind gently patted her face, which was super comfortable. It didn't feel like a secret spiritual land, but more like a transport train from her ancestral planet, traveling slowly.
"A backward train? This is a luxury sightseeing train. A single ride costs at least 20,000 star coins, and all meals and drinks are provided on board." Lei Qingya said, "I've ridden it before when traveling on other planets, and the experience was quite good."
The task light curtain is developed on the retina frame by frame.
【Mission: Rescue the survivors. 】
[Star Alliance received a distress signal from the train crew. Information available: 1. The train is repeatedly traveling on the same track, suspected to be distorted space. 2. This is a sightseeing train, carrying 50 passengers, 10 service personnel, 2 safety officers, two train crew members (drivers), and several robots. 3. According to AI data analysis, the survivors have a 12-hour lifespan. If no survivors are rescued within 12 hours, the mission will be considered a failure.]
No other information was provided, similar to the information available in the real-life secret spirit land.
It was an urgent mission, and intelligence personnel were unable to provide much useful information.
Where "suspected" is written, it should not be taken as correct information and is only a guess.
To save the survivors, we need to at least figure out why the train is stuck in a "loop".
Shen Zhaoming held up his glasses and entered the environmental data. He held the guardrail and looked down at the track. Big data automatically analyzed some of the basic information of the train.
"Breaking the loop requires finding the anchor point. The conductor's log may hold clues."
"Check your equipment first." Su Ninglong said, "Everyone, set the countdown to twelve hours."
After setting up her bracelet, she placed a stopwatch on the railing to automatically time the time.
Ask your teammates for another one, but this one is designed to go off every half hour and then be thrown out of the track.
Lian Xinyi wanted to ask why Su Ninglong was bewildering, but he was embarrassed because it would make him look stupid.
Lei Qingya couldn't help but ask: "Captain, why did you throw the timer down?"
Shen Zhaoming's eyes flickered, and he understood instantly: "Think about it more."
Sally hesitated to speak. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Lian Xinyi and Lei Qingya looked at each other, their eyes filled with clear stupidity.
Seeing that they were confused, Su Ninglong asked, "The train runs repeatedly on the same track. Do you know how far this distance is?" "I don't know." They shook their heads.
"The ringing of the bell may give us a clue."
After a brief explanation, Su Ninglong looked up at the appearance of the train and took a photo with her wristband.
The red and green colors do not appear tacky, but instead blend in with the forest scenery on both sides of the track, creating a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
But this relaxation seems to be an attempt to disguise the deadly cycle as a peaceful journey.
"Is the body of this train wider than ordinary trains?" Su Ninglong asked Lei Qingya.
Lei Qingya nodded: "Well, since sightseeing trains need to provide accommodation rooms and there is no speed requirement, they are generally larger in size."
Su Ninglong doesn't like nonsense. "If your life is in danger, you can just choose to quit. Let's go." This is the first time the five of them have formed a team. They haven't had any time to get used to each other, so Su Ninglong doesn't have high expectations for them.
Just take a comprehensive look at their level.
Lian Xinyi: "Shouldn't you cheer us on and boost our morale?"
Su Ninglong smiled, put her hand on the train door, and went to open it.
"Don't worry, we'll be ready."
The other four raised their guns and pointed them at the door. If there was a mysterious spirit, they would attack immediately.
However, when the carriage door opened, the scene inside was completely different, not as bloody and disgusting as imagined.
The silver fork touched the bone china lightly, making a crisp sound.
The red wine swayed in the decanter, reflecting gem-like spots of light. The passengers clinked their glasses, enjoying the scenery and their meals.
This is a train restaurant.
The passengers were dressed casually and enjoyed their lunch with smiles on their faces.
The fried and braised pork knuckles have been deboned by a robot next to the food cart, their weight precisely controlled, and then portioned onto white plates before being served to the guests.
Seeing Su Ninglong and others, the robot tilted its head in confusion, but did not speak. They had no pronunciation system and relied entirely on the screen on their head to type.
"Hello, sir. Have you ordered?"
Su Ninglong didn't answer, but one of the passengers looked up and asked, "Are you the security personnel for this train? Have you eaten yet?"
After saying a greeting, he put a large piece of fatty pork knuckle into his mouth, chewed it quickly and swallowed it, the sticky gravy sliding down the corners of his mouth.
He wiped it with his fingers, sucking off the remaining gravy.
"Not enough, give me some more." He snapped his fingers, signaling the robot to add some more.
The robot immediately cut another piece of fatty pig's trotter for him.
The guests once again buried their heads in the food, not tasting delicious food, but eating like pigs.
Lian Xinyi couldn't help showing disgust on his face.
Just as he was about to urge his teammates to turn to the adjacent carriage, a service staff in crimson uniform came over from another carriage.
His eyes scanned their attire, "Hello, please show me your invitation."
The entire carriage suddenly fell silent, and all the passengers and robots turned their heads, their eyes fixed on them.
Lian Xinyi and the other three suddenly felt something was wrong. Their situation at this moment was like prey that had accidentally wandered into a den of thieves.
The thief even sent a message to Tiangang asking for help.
As Su Ninglong did not respond, the atmosphere in the car became more and more weird.
It was as if all it took was to verify their illegal identity as passengers and the entire train would suddenly rise up and swallow them up.
A silver light flashed, and Su Ninglong held up an exquisite card, waving it in front of the attendant before putting it away. "Since it's here, we have our credentials. How can we get on the bus without a ticket?"
The waiter's tense back relaxed instantly, and he smiled in a formulaic way: "Excuse me, distinguished guests, do you need any service?"
"No need for entertainment, we'll tour the area on our own."
"Okay, go ahead." The waiter made way.
Su Ninglong and others quickly walked through the already open metal door and went to the next carriage.
The moment they escaped the suffocating sight, Lian Xinyi and the other two leaned against the wall to catch their breath.
Sally clutched her collar and trembled as she said, "Just now I almost fainted from suffocation. Even with the secret spirit in front of me, I wouldn't be so panicked. I always feel that riding the train for free is a shameful thing."
"Where did the card come from?" Lei Qingya asked.
Su Ninglong played with the spoils and smiled mysteriously: "Is this one?"
She handed it to them.
Being able to replace the candy on the principal's body without anyone noticing is such a simple thing to do.
Although the name on the card belongs to someone else, the service staff does not need to check whether the name matches.
"Don't learn it. You can't learn it even if you try. It's just extraordinary times and extraordinary things to do." Su Ninglong does not advocate this unethical behavior because it is required by the mission.
"How do you know it works?"
"Among the passengers, two people have cards of the same shape in their pockets." Su Ninglong became suspicious after just a peek at the corner.
But I have to thank the sense of ceremony created by this sightseeing train, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth.
Lei Qingya: "Who cares if they have cards of the same shape in their pockets?"
Lian Xinyi: "I was just focused on watching their eating manners."
"Didn't you take the course on investigative measures and strategies? The teacher explained it in great detail, and it was very helpful for collecting clues." Su Ninglong said.
Everyone: "..." Stop it, stop it.
They are just ordinary students, not academic masters. Who would take an extra detective course just to deal with the secret spirits?
This is anti-human. They just want to reconcile with their mediocre brains.
Su Ninglong walked through two sleeper cars and stopped in front of room 802.
She took the card back from Lian Xinyi's palm and swiped it across the sensing area.
She acted so confidently, as if she was the owner of the room.
The space on the train is limited. The so-called luxurious bedroom is only about ten square meters. The large sofa is close to the wall, and the table and chairs take up the remaining space. It is so cramped that it is difficult to turn around.
"Judge, how are we supposed to sleep here? On the sofa?" Su Ninglong asked in confusion.
"The sofa folds, and when it unfolds it becomes a bed." Lei Qingya tapped the hidden mechanism and said, "Before dusk, a waiter and a robot will come and set up this place again."
So that’s how it is, Su Ninglong suddenly realized.
She was checking each drawer one by one. In the wooden drawers that exuded a faint fragrance, only the velvet linings were shining coldly, and there was nothing that could provide any clues about the mysterious spirit of the train.
Lian Xinyi imitated Su Ninglong and started searching as well.
He came to the bathroom and tiptoed to look around. Suddenly, the bathroom curtain shook, and a strange giant shadow emerged from behind the white frosted cloth.
