Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

In the last self-selection box, Su Li opened it and selected a blueprint.

[Gathering Badge]

Silver Level

【equipment】

[Transcendental Gathering: Badges can transcend time and space, sensing each other's location.]

The device consists of a shield-like pendant and 10 coin-sized badges.

"Choosing this is also good, as it solves the problem of the team being difficult to regroup if it gets scattered due to unforeseen circumstances."

This problem will have to be solved sooner or later.

The remaining silver-level treasure chests yielded some weapons and equipment. Su Li and his companions selected some and replaced their outdated gear.

Once that's done, the world's gains are over.

The people in the dormitory resumed their research and study routine, waiting for the exploration to come to a complete end.

Surprisingly, although the time spent in this world was not long, the journey back was exceptionally long, taking a full two months for this void voyage.

"Woo~"

He habitually sounded the horn, letting the staff in Blue Star City know that a train was stopping at the station.

I drew back the curtains and saw the familiar Blue Star City through the window. However, this Blue Star City was a little different.

In the urban area of ​​Blue Star City, some buildings have collapsed. In the outer resource zone, there are even more signs of fighting and destruction.

"A battle has broken out in Blue Star City? Someone has invaded?" Su Li activated the Monster Study skill and used his enhanced observation ability to carefully examine Blue Star City. "There are signs of a crash in the west, and most of the battle traces are in the west. The traces of Radiant Lord's Yang Flame are very heavy, and there are also many traces of Crimson Kite Lord's flames. I didn't see any traces of other divine beasts. It seems that the two divine beasts dealt with the intruders."

"This intruder has a very strong metal element."

Sophia sensed it and said, "Have you all felt that the magical energy in Blue Star City has eased a lot? If I'm not mistaken, the five pillars of Blue Star City have been replenished."

Just then, the staff member Su Li contacted also sent a message: "The Blue Star players found the last gold-attribute divine beast and brought it to Blue Star City, completing the attribute pillar of Blue Star City."

"However, the world of the newly arrived Golden Dragon Lord is a world driven mad by dreams. The Golden Dragon Lord was also partially infected. After merging into the world, the Golden Dragon Lord's spirit went berserk for a while, but was suppressed by the other divine beasts. Now he is fine."

Su Li frowned. "It wasn't properly cleaned before being brought in? Won't this cause problems?"

The experiences of the Spirit Eye Clan made Su Li very sensitive to these things.

The manager on the other side said, "No problem. We've already tested it. What drove the people in that world mad was a kind of mental-type magical plant. This kind of magical plant has very poor effects on humans."

He then gave an example, "Like chocolate, it's fine for humans to eat, but it will kill a dog. This kind of magical plant is the same."

"This dream-enhancing powder has the effect of tempering the mind in the mortal world. It will trap people in an illusion. After overcoming the illusion, their mental strength will be enhanced. If they fail, they will be mentally weakened for a period of time. Isn't this kind of thing often found in novels?"

Su Li nodded; indeed, novels often contain such plots of tempering the mind in the mortal world.

Seeing that Su Li was still a little worried, the staff member said, "Don't worry, we have a special management system to minimize the risk."

"Anyway, be careful." Su Li sent one last message to her friends, telling them that she had returned to Blue Star City, and then closed the handbook.

“I have a feeling that our recent explorations aren’t as pure as they used to be.” Su Li shared her concerns with her family. “Before, it was simple: go out, run dungeons, go back to base to upgrade your vehicles—everything was for survival, simple and clear. But now things are getting more and more complicated. I won’t go into the five civilizations that betrayed us, but there’s also the matter of the Spirit Eye Clan’s behind-the-scenes manipulators.”

The group exchanged glances, and they also had a vague feeling, especially after gaining the team's legendary status, that they occasionally felt a chilling sensation as if they were in some kind of vortex.

Su Li sighed. "Let's improve our strength. Strength is the foundation of everything."

Just then, Su Li felt a notification from the manual; a friend had sent him a message.

Upon opening the handbook and seeing the message, Su Li gasped. He looked up at his family and whispered, "Get ready and come with me to Ren Jianhan's wife's funeral."
