Clearance Condition: Reach Kunshan Chicken Farm Station Alive - Second Update, Please Vote with Monthly Tickets

Yes, this rule existed to protect players like them.

If a player attacked an oddity, then this rule would no longer apply, and the oddity could retaliate against that player.

That was why the Long-Necked Oddity had been hoping Mu Rufeng would make a move.

Who knew how many lives it had taken to test out this one rule?

The rules aboard the Bloody Train were far from obvious and required the players to explore them on their own.

And it was precisely because of this that the Bloody Train's death rate was so terrifyingly high.

The Bloody Train dungeon had appeared so many times that even at its lowest, the death rate had reached fifty percent.

At its highest, the death rate had soared to ninety percent. It truly was a slaughterhouse worthy of its name.

The Long-Necked Oddity seemed to realize that Mu Rufeng did not want to attack. Its eyes rolled, and its neck stretched out again toward Mu Rufeng's throat.

From the looks of it, it intended to frighten Mu Rufeng into attacking.

Just then, the surrounding space seemed to freeze solid.

Whether it was the Long-Necked Oddity, the little boy bouncing a ball ahead of them, or the conductor who had just entered the carriage, all of them stood motionless.

"What's going on?" Mu Rufeng sensed that something was wrong as well.

He discovered that even the clock aboard the Bloody Train had stopped. This proved that the Bloody Train itself had been affected.

A ball of black mist appeared out of thin air before Mu Rufeng.

A streak of golden light flashed from within the black mist.

It was a black card, yet its edges were rimmed in gold.

Three large words were written on the front of the card: Black Gold Card.

Four large words were written on the back: Heaven and Earth Bank.

Exceptionally dense ghostly aura radiated from the Black Gold Card.

"Honored Black Gold Card user, please forgive this abrupt interruption. I am Zhao Huanyu, general manager of Heaven and Earth Bank. Thank you for opening a Black Gold Card with our bank."

"I sincerely apologize. I should have come in person, but a powerful force has interfered and prevented me from doing so. I could only open a passage and deliver the Black Gold Card before you."

"You are Heaven and Earth Bank's most esteemed super VIP customer. Should you have any needs, you may visit the headquarters of Heaven and Earth Bank in the Imperial Capital. We will receive you with the highest standards."

A voice came from within the Black Gold Card.

Mu Rufeng was somewhat stunned when he heard this, but quickly recovered and said, "No need."

As he spoke, Mu Rufeng reached out and took the Black Gold Card into his hand.

Heaven and Earth Bank Black Gold Card: This card is Heaven and Earth Bank's highest-tier Super VIP card. To obtain it, one must deposit one billion soul coins.

Current bank balance: 1000000000000 yuan

Effect: Cash may be withdrawn from the Black Gold Card at any time.

Looking at that string of zeroes, Mu Rufeng swallowed.

"Honored guest, that force is growing stronger. I must leave now. Please be sure to come to Heaven and Earth Bank's head office in the Imperial Capital... We... Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzt~~!"

The voice vanished, and so did the ball of black mist.

Was that force the Bloody Train, or his cheat? Mu Rufeng pondered silently.

It was most likely the power of his cheat that prevented the other party from arriving in person, leaving him no choice but to convey information through the Black Gold Card.

Heaven and Earth Bank was absolutely one of the foremost powers in the Oddity World.

One could tell merely from the fact that the aura of Heaven and Earth Bank's general manager had been enough to halt the Bloody Train and freeze space.

Heaven and Earth Bank's rank could absolutely crush the Bloody Train.

At that moment, Mu Rufeng also noticed that the clock above the carriage was already swaying, as though it would begin ticking again at any moment.

Looking at the Black Gold Card in his hand, which emitted dense ghostly aura, Mu Rufeng directly stored it in the Item Inventory.

All the power vanished, and the frozen space around him returned to normal.

The Long-Necked Oddity continued lunging toward Mu Rufeng.

It seemed completely unaware that anything had happened earlier.

Without even sparing it a glance, Mu Rufeng raised his hand. Bandages shot out and, in the blink of an eye, wrapped around the Long-Necked Oddity's entire body.

The Long-Necked Oddity was forcibly seated, and the bandages swiftly spread across the seat.

Very soon, the violently struggling Long-Necked Oddity was bound to the seat, unable to move.

"Should I ask you to leave, or should I—"

Before Mu Rufeng could finish, the head leaped off the seat with astonishing speed, then landed precisely inside the bamboo basket on the floor.

Without anyone needing to help, the lid of the bamboo basket flew back on its own and covered it.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd done that from the start?"

Mu Rufeng shook his head, then sat down in seat number 20.

Not far away, the conductor who had originally intended to come over saw Mu Rufeng take his seat, and a trace of regret flashed through her eyes.

There were less than thirty seconds left before the train started. By then, any passenger who had not taken a seat would become her prey.

Clack-clack-clack~~~

The train slowly began moving.

The old platform gradually disappeared from Mu Rufeng's sight.

Before long, even the last trace of light vanished.

The scenery outside the window became pitch-black. There was no telling where the tracks lay; the Bloody Train seemed to be traveling through another dimension, bizarre beyond belief.

"Dear passengers, hello. The next destination is Kunshan Chicken Farm."

"Please do not make loud noises aboard the train. If you do not have a ticket, please purchase one promptly."

The announcement sounded once more.

At the same time, a notification rang out in the minds of every living passenger who had boarded.

Large Multiplayer Dungeon: Bloody Train

Participants: 30

Current Survivors: 28

Clearance Condition: Reach Kunshan Chicken Farm alive. For every additional station reached, completion doubles.

"Reach Kunshan Chicken Farm alive?" Mu Rufeng recalled the earlier announcement. Wasn't the next stop Kunshan Chicken Farm?

"We've only been on the train for such a short time, and two people have already died?" Mu Rufeng looked at the current survivor count in surprise.

After all, whether it was Qu Lianhong, Cheng Youlin, Shen Yu, or the others, they had clearly told those passengers some of the basic rules.

Yet two people had still died.

Only at this moment did Mu Rufeng finally witness just how high the death rate inside oddity dungeons was.

"Passengers, we still have three hours until the next station. To serve you better, we have carefully prepared some food for you."

At some point, the conductor had already pushed a small cart out from the connection between the carriages.

There was a huge iron barrel on the cart, a plastic bucket half its size beside it, and a stack of bowls roughly half the size of footballs nearby.

The conductor stopped at the first row of seats.

There happened to be a passenger there, though not a living one.

It had a rather disgusting appearance: a rotten face and a bloated body, with corpse worms and fat maggots burrowing in and out of it.

There would be another update tonight. Three updates every day—please keep reading, please vote with monthly tickets, and please send rewards!
