Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Su Li didn't set an alarm and slept until 8 a.m.

After getting up, I ate breakfast first, and then started getting busy in the various shops.

Zurich browsed through the services and goods offered by each building, carefully considering her own needs.

"Honestly, I want all of these things, but I'm short on cash."

Su Li looked at the goods with longing and said.

After much deliberation, he went to the bookstore and bought a book.

[Train Game Survival Guide - 20 Survival Coins]

This is a book that introduces some basic knowledge about the Eternal Train survival game.

The book wasn't very long; Su Li finished it in 10 minutes, but it was quite useful.

"Let's get down to business. Let's use this invitation first, recruit a teammate, and see what the teammate needs."

Zuli arrived at the temple.

The temple was very solemn, surrounded by all sorts of statues of gods, none of which Su Li recognized.

Beneath each statue of a deity is an altar where offerings are made, and there is a chance to receive the deity's blessing.

However, Zurich is not planning to offer any sacrifices for the time being.

According to the Survival Guide, offering sacrifices to deities requires extreme caution; sacrificing something the deities dislike will result in a curse.

Furthermore, the relationships between deities are quite delicate. If you have a record of offering sacrifices to deity A, and then offer sacrifices to A's enemy B, you are very likely to be cursed or even punished by the gods.

Therefore, it is best to understand the relationships between the gods before making a sacrifice.

Having walked the path watched by the gods, Zuli arrived at the center of the temple.

In the center of the temple were two more altars. The red one on the left was the healing altar. Su Li walked to the altar and paid with survival coins.

[Pay 10 Survival Coins]

Your scratches, infection, and muscle strain have healed.

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid he had contracted rabies, so he felt more at ease after receiving systematic treatment.

I saw some of the hyenas drooling in the group earlier, and they seemed a bit dim-witted; I was worried they might be sick. Now that they're confirmed they're not, those 10 survival coins were well spent.

After finishing, Su Li went to another altar.

The altar was black, and a scale was painted on it.

Su Li took out the invitation to the underworld that she had obtained earlier and respectfully placed it on the altar.

There really are gods here, so it's best to be respectful, since you're not going to lose anything.

After the invitation from the underworld was placed there, it spontaneously combusted without fire and turned to ashes.

Then, a system notification appeared in front of Su Li.

You have activated the Resurrection Altar.

You can spend 100 Survival Coins to send an invitation and draw a soul to become a member of your train.

[It has been detected that you have used an invitation from the Underworld. This invitation is free, and the invited souls will not be counted towards the number of souls to be resurrected.]

Su Li was thrilled. Getting the invitation from the Underworld was the right decision. It saved her 100 survival coins and didn't take up a spot.

The cost of revival is calculated based on the number of slots available. The first member costs 100 survival coins, the second 500, the third 1000, and the price increases with each subsequent member.

Invitations do not count towards this resurrection quota. In other words, after he invites a soul with an invitation, the next resurrection will still start from 100 survival coins.

After the invitation letter took effect, Zuli began to write down her invitation conditions.

"First of all, the team must prioritize me and must not do anything that harms me or my team. I reserve the right to kick out any member."

"Secondly, all collected items and spoils belong to me, and I will distribute them accordingly."

"Finally, I will not force members to their deaths, nor will I enslave them."

After setting these three conditions, Su Li closed her eyes.

Then, he suddenly felt a downward sensation, which startled him and made him open his eyes.

Before him appeared four large gates. Each gate had a different design.

One is a wine glass under the radiance, one is a person with outstretched arms, one is a person screaming in pain, and one is an overlapping shadow.

The burnt invitation suddenly appeared in front of Su Li, and then it fell onto the overlapping figure.

This invitation is from the Land of Mist, and the randomized area is the Underworld - Land of Mist.

Please enter the Land of Mist and recruit your members.

Following the directions, Zuli entered the gate known as the Land of Mist, the gate's design being an overlapping human figure.

Once inside, I found that the name was indeed accurate, as there was fog everywhere.

"Oh, over there."

Su Li suddenly heard a man's voice. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a stylishly dressed man wearing sunglasses sitting in front of a campfire, idly poking at the fire with a twig.

"I'm your guide here. Time is limited, so hurry up and find the person you're looking for."

After saying that, the man suddenly laughed and said, "You've got quite an interesting soul."

"Huh?" Su Li was a little confused. [Who is this? They seem pretty arrogant. Could they be my cheat code? Is my cheat code the old man in the ring?]

“Although I am indeed very old, I am not an old man.” The man poked at the fire, his eyes never looking at Su Li. “Hurry up and choose. This is the underworld; it’s not good for the living to stay here too long.”

"Okay, okay," Su Li quickly agreed. Being able to read minds and acting so arrogantly—this guy was definitely a big shot. Seeing the guy's friendly face, Su Li tentatively asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Just call me Sunglasses Guy." Sunglasses Guy glanced at Su Li. "Since you're interesting, I'll remind you. This is the Land of Mist."

"The four underworlds are the territories of four underworld gods. They will accommodate different souls according to their preferences."

"The God of the Underworld in the Hall of Heroes likes people who do great things, whether good or bad. As long as they show ambition and accomplish great deeds, they are the kind of people that god likes. Heroes, anti-heroes, saviors, serial killers, you can find them all in him. Tsk, he's a guy who likes people with strong personalities and enjoys playing around."

"The Land of Mist is the resting place of the defeated. In battles and struggles, there will always be losers. But the courage and decisiveness of the defeated will not be noticed, because they have failed, and their deeds are even unknown. But the gods will not forget them; the gods will recognize their achievements and give them a resting place commensurate with their glory. This is the Land of Mist."

"The rest are Anning Township and Hell. There's not much to say about them. These two have good tempers and gather the souls that the willful ones don't like together according to their good and evil."

"So don't worry about these guys being useless; they're all warriors recognized by the gods."

"Hurry up and finish your selection, then leave. You get tired of seeing too many interesting guys."

After saying that, the man in sunglasses took out a cigarette, lit it with a lit twig, took a deep drag, and exhaled a smoke ring.

Su Li said politely, "I understand, thank you."

After greeting the big shot, Su Li focused on the interview. Following the system's instructions, he posted his requirements, and many people responded to him.

There were too many responses, and for one reason, Zuli didn't know who to choose.

"First, exclude men, especially older ones."

Su Li excluded a large number of people due to his own selfish motives. He couldn't fool his second brother after all; he really wanted to team up with a pretty girl.

"Then we'll filter those who can use ranged attacks like bows and arrows or guns."

Su Li continued her selection process. "The team definitely needs ranged damage dealers; we can't just rely on slingshots all the time."

Now, even fewer people were selected. Su Li immediately spotted a girl.

It wasn't because she was the prettiest, but because there was a little boy's picture behind hers.

Sofia Blavatsky: Female, 18 years old

Ivan Blavatsky: Male, 12 years old

Su Li recalled the rules she had seen before: minors could appear with their relatives.

"So, choosing this woman is a buy-one-get-one-free deal? Can both siblings come?" Su Li asked, somewhat puzzled.

If that's the case, it's quite worthwhile; more people mean more work. A 12-year-old is already capable of working.

The man warming himself by the fire casually said, "It's buy one get one free. What, you've got your eye on these two?"

“Yes, but I’m a little scared, afraid of bringing a bratty kid along,” Su Li explained.

The man in sunglasses tossed his extinguished cigarette into the fire. "Hey, don't underestimate Hades's seriousness."

Su Li understood; it meant that the boy also fit the gods' definition of a warrior.

He must have shown courage during his lifetime.

After thinking for a moment, Su Li decided to choose these two people: buy one, get one free, and the free gift is someone approved by the gods. A sure win!

After making the selection, Su Li waited for a while, and then the system prompted her.

The other party has agreed to the terms; the contract is now complete.
