Among Carriage 666, Wang Zhifan was also surprised when he heard the broadcast announcement.
"Train Crew wants to upgrade my place to a luxury one? Why don't I see any changes?"
He wasn't surprised that he was the first to clear out the ghosts in all the carriages, but he was more concerned about the privileges he would get after the carriage was upgraded to luxury.
Soon enough, as Wang Zhifan and the female player next to him looked equally surprised, a young woman wearing a conductor uniform suddenly appeared in Carriage 666.
As soon as the woman appeared, she focused her eyes on Wang Zhifan. She obviously knew that he was the captain of this carriage. She said with a smile:
"Captain Carriage 666, I am very happy to serve you. Which style of luxury carriage do you prefer? Is it the modern luxury car? The ancient classic car? Future Tech Style? Or the weird old house car?"
It turned out that this person came here to ask Wang Zhifan what style he planned to change Carriage 666 into, and he also gave him several plans for him to choose from.
"Are the types of carriages you mentioned only different in appearance? Are there any other differences?"
Wang Zhifan was quite calm after hearing this. He was already used to the sudden appearance of someone in the train. He was not impatient in the selection process and planned to ask in more detail.
"Dear guests, in addition to the internal configuration, different luxury carriages also have significant differences in privileges."
The young woman who looked like a conductor nodded immediately, and then began to explain to him, "The modern luxury carriage has the privilege of going directly to the mission destination. As long as you use this power, this train will go directly to the platform you want to go to, and will not stop for any reason in the way."
"The ancient classic carriage has the privilege of divination of good and bad luck. If you use this privilege, we will spend precious resources to divine for you what you want to know. However, there is no guarantee that the result will be effective."
"Future Tech Style compartment has the privilege of accessing the database. You can freely access the information you want to know on the computer in the compartment. It is likely to contain information about the mission you are about to perform."
"The weird ancient house-type carriage has the privilege of recruiting exclusive servants. The exclusive servants have good combat effectiveness and can join your mission to help you in battle."
"I choose Future Tech Style."
After hearing what this person said, Wang Zhifan gave his choice without much hesitation. The reason for his choice was very simple. What he currently lacked was information about the mission target. Saving time and giving helpers were not important to him, and divination was not in line with his style of doing things.
"Okay, we will make arrangements for you immediately."
After receiving the reply from Wang Zhifan, the staff member on Death Train immediately responded, and then her figure disappeared instantly, just as she appeared without warning.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhifan saw that the car he was in had undergone changes visible to the naked eye. The originally small windows began to expand rapidly, accounting for almost 80% of the side wall of the car. The ordinary hard floor also began to turn into a special material as smooth as a mirror, reflecting The light sources everywhere made people feel a little dazzled. The rows of seats disappeared and were replaced by two rows of avant-garde white sofas at the back. A huge hanging screen appeared in front of the sofa, and the words "Train AI at your service" appeared on the screen.
"This carriage has really changed a lot. It feels more like a conference hall."
The female player in sportswear next to her couldn't help but make two comments when she saw such a huge change happening around her.
Wang Zhifan ignored her complaints. After thinking for a moment, he said to the huge hanging screen in front of him, "Train AI, help me look up all the information about Evil Spirit Building."
"Okay, the request has been received, please wait a moment."
Just as he thought, he got an immediate response when he asked directly. It was a neutral synthesized voice. The sound came from the direction above the head, probably from the broadcast loudspeaker used.
Two or three seconds later, the information requested by Wang Zhifan was displayed on the huge screen in front.
"Evil Spirit Building is located deep in the Platform 17 area. 21 teams have gone there to perform missions, but none of them succeeded and all were destroyed."
"According to feedback from the team passing by the area, Evil Spirit Building looks like an old building with 31 floors. The door is open all year round. There are many damaged floors, but there are no reports of ghost sightings..."
"This place has been classified as an extremely high-risk location, and only the most elite teams may be sent there..."
After taking a while to read the information on the screen, Wang Zhifan quickly frowned because he found that the information was basically nonsense, and there was no detailed information at all that he really needed! "Train AI, check it out for me. Can I apply to change my mission?"
After thinking about it, he still raised this question. Although he was confident that he was very strong, he still wanted to change the task if possible. He was not willing to do something completely unreasonable.
"The request has been received, inquiring..."
"Dear guests, changing the carriage can change the mission of the passengers, except for the captain. The captain cannot leave his carriage to join other teams. Only if he is demoted and relieved of his status as captain can he go to other carriages to perform missions."
"Then you can check how to remove this captain status."
Wang Zhifan saw a little hope at this time.
"The request has been received, inquiring..."
"Dear Captain, as long as you fail to perform the mission three times in a row, you will be demoted and relieved of your captain status. However, it is recommended that you do not do this intentionally. This behavior may lead to other punishments..."
"God failed to execute the mission three times in a row. I currently only have one mission, Evil Spirit Building. Wouldn't it be a disaster if I failed in it?"
It is a very unpleasant thing to have hope and then fail. This is how Wang Zhifan feels right now. Even the female player in sportswear who has been watching next to him for so long can't help but want to laugh.
"Haha, you are so miserable. You are forced to perform this death mission. You can't escape even if you want to."
The female player thought about it for two seconds before speaking to the big screen in front of her and asked:
"Please help me find out what rewards I will receive after completing the mission."
She discovered that Wang Zhifan started to solve the problem she wanted to figure out after finishing asking.
However, after she spoke, there was no response from the speaker above her head, and no text appeared on the screen in front of her, as if the so-called Train AI didn't hear her question at all.
"It didn't answer me. I guess I don't have the authority. Captain, why don't you ask it for me?"
The female player immediately asked Wang Zhifan next to her for help. Even though she had just made fun of someone who had been cheated, the various permissions brought by her status as captain were genuine.
"Okay, I just happen to be a little curious about this issue. I haven't thought about it before."
Wang Zhifan listened to her and understood the reason why she asked this question. The starting point is very simple, that is, why many people come to Death Train to perform tasks and are willing to risk being tortured to death by various incidents on the train. If most people entered the train by mistake and were forced to do this, what happened to the previous batch of the Hell Academy people? They took the initiative to come here for the trial. If the trial meant suffering and death, they would definitely not be so active.
"The request has been received, inquiring..."
"Dear Captain, there is no material reward for completing the tasks assigned by this train, but other rewards do exist."
"First, this train will add special powers to all teams, giving them the potential to kill ghosts. This potential will gradually increase and be fully revealed as team members complete various tasks, allowing them to fight ghosts even if they are far away from the train."
"Second, you may obtain very rare trophies during the mission. All trophies will be distributed by the team themselves. This train will not cause any interference..."
"Third, this train is very safe most of the time and can protect each team from harm from the external environment..."
After reading the information displayed on the big screen one by one, Wang Zhifan and the female player in sportswear quickly felt speechless, because they found that there was really no reward for completing tasks for Death Train. The so-called other rewards were completely forcibly attached to the train. Maybe only the first one with the added ghost-killing power could be considered as its contribution.
"I said that in the dungeon where I first encountered Hell Academy, the ghosts could not be completely killed. Why can't they Resurrection kill the ghosts here? It turns out that the big ghost Death Train helped... From this point of view, in order to gain the power to fight against the ghosts, it makes sense for the Hell Academy to send students to risk their lives for trials. This is an important way for them to gain the power to fight against the ghosts..."
Although it was disappointing to confirm that there was no direct reward for the Death Train mission, Wang Zhifan clarified a doubt in his mind and learned that Hell Academy was indeed a more advanced force among the previous copies of Apartment 444. At least they knew the way to improve Death Train, unlike Apartment 444 who would only let residents try their luck to find Ghost Artifacts, with no hope of defeating the ghosts.
Of course, this must be related to the fact that Apartment 444 itself is a ghost. It may treat residents like pets, letting them know that the way to fight against itself is weird, and what it needs may be torture itself.
When Wang Zhifan and Wang Zhifan searched for various information through Train AI, the other carriages gradually returned to calm. Most of the carriages worked together to clear out all the ghosts, but a small number of them were killed by the ghosts because they were too weak or had poor coordination.
I have to say that this is definitely a screening mechanism for the train. It requires team members to undergo certain tests, otherwise they are not qualified to enter the real mission. However, there is also a possibility that Death Train itself enjoys this kind of torture, but it will not be too harsh, giving people more or less hope of passing the level.
"We finally won! Thank you for your hard work! I will always remember the heroic sacrifice of your companions!"
At this time, in an ordinary car, the young player with dark circles put away the two guns in his hands, walked to several broken Hell Academy black-robed ghosts and expressed his gratitude to them. Although these black-robed ghosts looked seriously injured, the half-ghost transformation gave them extraordinary damage tolerance. As long as the injuries are not fatal, they can hope to recover gradually.
"All sacrifices are worth it... Their glorious names will be reported to Mentor when we return to the academy and engraved into the monument of heroes."
Upon seeing this, the leader of the black-robed ghosts responded to the young player.
"Well... they all deserve such honor."
The young man nodded and waited for these people's emotions to gradually recover before asking them other questions.
"Do you know what the privileges of the luxury carriage are?"
It turns out that he is still thinking about Carriage 666, who was abandoned by him, and is curious about what kind of treatment Wang Zhifan is currently enjoying there.
"This... please forgive me for not knowing much about this information, because luxury carriages rarely appear. I only heard Mentor mention it once when I was in the academy, but Mentor didn't explain what privileges the luxury carriages have at that time."
The black-robed ghost man answered truthfully.
"Do they rarely appear? That's right... According to the broadcast just now, if you want to upgrade the carriage, you not only need to be the first to clean up all the ghosts, but also have to clean up the largest number. It is even related to the strength of the ghosts... It is really too harsh to meet these conditions at the same time."
As someone who had only now teamed up with others to eliminate several ghosts and monsters, the dark-eyed young man knew how difficult those ghosts in this car were, and they were not comparable to monsters in the ordinary sense.
"But even if there are no very useful privileges, just being exempted from all train incidents is an advantage."
He then remembered that it was mentioned on the radio that people in the luxury car did not need to participate in any train incidents, which meant that all the bad tricks created by the train had nothing to do with them, such as the previous dining car incident, the lights-out incident, and the clean-up incident just now. The luxury car would not be involved. All they had to do was wait patiently and complete tasks. This would undoubtedly save the player's energy and reduce the risk by half.
"Should I try to return to Carriage 666? Otherwise, I will definitely have to deal with all the bullshit on this train... But the forbidden area difficulty mission in that carriage is also very risky... However, considering that the so-called forbidden area is a forbidden area in the eyes of these weak ghosts, maybe that person has the strength to penetrate it. After all, his strength is not the same as theirs..."
When the young man was thinking, he actually thought about going back and thinking about whether he should go back and fight side by side with Wang Zhifan. This is not to blame for his capriciousness. The main reason is that the carriage he is in is only a temporary one and there is no captain. He has to find a suitable one behind him. Only by adding a suitable carriage to the mission can he clear the dungeon, but Wang Zhifan's extraordinary performance made him feel like a big deal. If he decided to hang out with him, he would have to act early, otherwise he would still be hanging out after Platform 17 and others had entered the mission.
