Pure Mind Brotherhood

After wavering back and forth, Lu Xingyuan ultimately chose the submachine gun.

His first instinct, deep down, told him it had to be this.

Take a gamble, and a bicycle might turn into a motorcycle.

It was time to reveal the answer.

A flash of light passed before his eyes.

A revolver carrying a scorching aura appeared in his palm.

It had a matte dark-red body, with black patterns flowing across its surface like cooled lava.

Its barrel was thick and short. When the cylinder rotated, a faint blazing red glow could be seen leaking from within.

The grip was wrapped in charred bone-like material, and the entire gun radiated the lingering warmth of something that had just fired.

[Explosive Flame Revolver]

[Category: Extraordinary Creation]

[Level: 2]

[Description: There is always only one bullet in the cylinder, but every time you pull the trigger, that bullet will always be in the chamber. At the moment of firing, what erupts from the muzzle is not an ordinary projectile, but an explosive flame round compressed to its critical point before being released!]

The Infinite Firepower trait had been retained!

Even after being reshaped and reassembled, the weapon still did not require ammunition!

Lu Xingyuan's heart pounded violently.

He had won the bet!

As a Level 2 Extraordinary Creation, the Explosive Flame Revolver's power naturally could not be compared to that of a Level 1 submachine gun!

If he encountered that fused zombie again, he would not need to engage it in close combat at all. With this Explosive Flame Revolver, he could easily destroy it!

Of course, the Explosive Flame Revolver was not without flaws.

Its power was immense, but its firing rate was far less ferocious than that of a submachine gun.

Still, that was acceptable.

In front of the platform.

The other two trains had already come to a steady stop.

The moment their doors opened.

Two conductors stepped out at the same time.

One man and one woman.

The male conductor looked around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He stood about six feet tall, with a well-proportioned and solid build. He wore a black short-sleeved shirt and dark-blue jeans. The muscles in his arms bulged, stretching his shirt tight.

The female conductor was a few years younger, with long black hair draped over her shoulders. She wore a pink dress that had yellowed and wrinkled from not being washed for a long time, yet it could not hide her delicate beauty.

Lu Xingyuan opened his train door, and a chill rushed toward him.

The temperature outside the carriage was six or seven degrees lower than inside.

No wonder that conductor last night had been unable to hold on and was eliminated.

The rain had not stopped. The sky remained frighteningly gloomy, and the ground was covered in pooled water.

Lu Xingyuan stepped beneath the platform's rain shelter to avoid the rain while observing the other two conductors.

They were observing each other as well.

The young man spoke first.

"I know you. You're Lu Xingyuan, right? The first conductor to reach Level 2!"

Damn, am I really that memorable?

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Bai Xiao, president of the Pure Mind Brotherhood."

The Pure Mind Brotherhood?

A trace of surprise flashed through Lu Xingyuan's eyes.

Of course he had heard of them.

They were one of the top five major factions in District 11.

They had recruited more than three hundred conductors in total, and their overall strength could not be underestimated.

In that case, this train with three carriages should belong to him.

The moment he got off the train, Lu Xingyuan had noticed that neither of the two trains stopped at this station was ordinary.

One was Level 2, and the other was Level 3.

Since Bai Xiao could command more than three hundred conductors, there was no question about his personal strength. Reaching Level 3 was only natural.

But this female conductor... she had actually reached Level 2 as well?

Although many days had passed since the game began, conductors who had completed their upgrades were still in the minority, accounting for less than three percent.

And among that three percent, there were even fewer female conductors!

"I heard Brother Lu hasn't joined any faction yet and is still fighting alone?"

As the president of the Pure Mind Brotherhood, Bai Xiao naturally cared deeply about the organization's development.

And an organization's development could not exist without talented people.

As the first conductor to upgrade his train to Level 2, Lu Xingyuan was undoubtedly a talent among talents. That was why Bai Xiao had paid him such special attention.

He knew Lu Xingyuan's situation well. He knew that Lu Xingyuan had not joined any faction and was still unaffiliated.

Although Bai Xiao appeared calm at the moment, his heart was already in turmoil!

This was an opportunity—an excellent opportunity to recruit Lu Xingyuan into the organization!

Although the invitation he had sent Lu Xingyuan long ago had been ignored, how could online communication compare to meeting in person?

He would definitely show enough sincerity and invite Lu Xingyuan to join the Pure Mind Brotherhood.

Lu Xingyuan was not the only one observing the three trains parked on the tracks. Bai Xiao was observing them too.

He had noticed Lu Xingyuan's train early on. It had three carriages!

What did that mean?

It meant that Lu Xingyuan, like himself, had reached Level 3!

It was normal for Bai Xiao to reach Level 3. After all, he had more than three hundred brothers under him.

With so many people working together, it would have been hard not to reach Level 3.

But Lu Xingyuan was different. He was alone.

Yet he had reached Level 3 in such a short time by himself. Did that not say enough about his strength?

"If he really joins, the Pure Mind Brotherhood's strength will definitely rise to another level! We might not be able to contend with the Mutual Aid Association yet, but at least we won't have to worry about the Heavenly Splendor Association anymore!"

But ideals were plump while reality was cruel.

Even though Bai Xiao offered extremely generous terms, Lu Xingyuan showed no sign of wavering.

"...For now, I have no plans to join any faction."

Bai Xiao saw how firm Lu Xingyuan was. After a brief silence, he helplessly shook his head.

"Fine... Since Brother Lu is unwilling, I won't force the matter."

"But the doors of the Pure Mind Brotherhood will always be open to you. You can join at any time."

Of course, he could understand Lu Xingyuan. How free and unrestrained was it to be alone, without so many ties and restrictions?

But the key issue was that in this perilous train world, fighting alone was absolutely not viable—unless one possessed absolute strength.

For now, Lu Xingyuan was clearly very confident in his own strength.

Was it talent?

Bai Xiao did not ask. After all, that was private information.

Even if he could not make Lu Xingyuan one of his own, he could not afford to offend him, could he?

"Since you aren't willing to join the Pure Mind Brotherhood, are you interested in our Crimson Legion?"

At that moment, the woman in the dress with her hair loose spoke.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Although our Crimson Legion only accepts women, we can make exceptions for certain high-quality men."

She looked Lu Xingyuan up and down before finally settling her gaze on his clean, handsome face.

"You're strong, and you look good too. You meet the requirements for an exception."

Lu Xingyuan had initially been surprised that the female-led Crimson Legion would recruit a man like him, but after hearing what followed, he immediately fell into speechless silence.
