"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
"..."
Yang Qinglan sat down, and Li Changzhou took out the Snow Mountain Water Bottle. She took it and poured herself a cup.
"Are you two even listening?!" Li Qianxia grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
Li Changzhou caught it and tossed it onto the sofa before sitting down opposite Yang Qinglan.
Li Qianxia put another pillow on her chin and happily took out her phone to search for tourist attractions.
"What do you think Xiaoyue wants from me?" Li Changzhou asked while pouring himself some water.
“If I’m not mistaken, Xiaoyue, as a game staff member, must be subject to regulations that cannot be violated.” Yang Qinglan took a sip of Snow Mountain mineral water. “Even the game announcement didn’t directly reveal your identity, only mentioning the code name ‘Master’.”
"Do you want to compensate me?" Li Changzhou pondered.
"Brother, I've been thinking, let's go to Daocheng first!"
"Then you can think about it."
Just as Li Qianxia was about to pick up the second pillow, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Li Changzhou stood up, opened the door, and Xiaoyue stood at the door with a tray. On the tray was a bottle of champagne (probably something Li Changzhou didn't recognize) and a plate of dried fruit.
Neither of them spoke. Li Changzhou stepped aside to let her in.
As soon as Xiaoyue came in, she put the tray on the table, picked up the champagne, opened the cork, and took a big gulp.
"Damn it!" she suddenly exclaimed in Sichuan dialect. "I finally succumbed to beauty! It's all your fault, you bastards!"
"Speak politely." Yang Qinglan picked up a nut and brought it to her mouth, her tone calm and her expression composed.
Xiaoyue's eyes widened instantly: "Little sister, what's your name?"
Li Changzhou grabbed her right shoulder from behind.
"Ouch! It hurts! Let go!" Xiaoyue's pretty face instantly scrunched up.
Li Changzhou exerted even more force: "Speak if you have something to say!"
"Let go first!" Xiaoyue shrank back to the ground, trying to pull away from his grasp.
Li Changzhou released the seat and sat back down opposite Yang Qinglan.
Xiaoyue rubbed her shoulders, hissing out cold air, and sat down facing the glass window.
“I know you’re annoyed right now, but I’m annoyed too.” Xiaoyue pulled open her uniform collar, revealing her snow-white right shoulder, which was bruised from being pinched.
She stuck out her tongue and licked the spot where Li Changzhou had pinched her, making it covered in saliva.
Then, leaving his collar half-pulled up, he continued, "But there is a way to fix it."
Li Changzhou didn't speak, so Yang Qinglan asked, "What method?"
“Official players like me actually have special privileges.” Xiaoyue picked up her champagne and took a sip. “Do you guys remember when I snapped my fingers during the live stream and made the slime sprayed by that bug disappear?”
Yang Qinglan nodded slightly, indicating that she remembered.
"My authority, or rather my ability, is to disable all players' skills on the train."
“That’s impressive, but how can we fix your mistake? Should we disable the passengers’ skills and kill them?” Yang Qinglan asked.
"Sister, you can kill me." Xiaoyue licked her lips again.
Li Changzhou reached out and pinched her left shoulder, repeating the scene from before.
"Really!" Xiaoyue, who was in so much pain that she shrank under the table, sat up again with a grumble, pulling her collar into a big "Y" shape.
"The right side isn't healed yet!" she said, licking her left shoulder.
Upon closer inspection, Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan realized that she wasn't deliberately flirting; the saliva on her right shoulder had disappeared, and the bruise had faded to almost nothing.
"With this skill, the four of us can have fun for seven days and seven nights." Xiaoyue licked her lips and smiled ambiguously.
Li Changzhou rubbed the tip of his right middle finger against his philtrum, imagining that Yang Qinglan possessed this skill. He then bent down and gathered his hair...
I almost got a nosebleed!
Suddenly, a train whistle sounded, and the train slowly pulled away from the platform.
The scenery outside the window receded, and soon we came to a lush field, with endless rapeseed flowers and a clear blue sky. The world seemed to be pieced together from these two pieces of cloth, one yellow and one blue.
Li Qianxia exclaimed and climbed to the window, pressing her face against the glass, gazing at the scenery before her with fascination.
"Wenzi is so cute." Xiaoyue stared at Li Qianxia's pert buttocks.
After reluctantly turning her gaze away, she continued to explain: "My ability is to discard skills. I also have a colleague who can erase the memories of players inside the train. This is to prevent players from knowing things they shouldn't know."
"You plan to erase those people's memories?" Yang Qinglan asked.
“Hmm.” Xiaoyue nodded. “But we can’t use our abilities at will. We can only take action when a player violates the penalty rules. By the way, you violated the rules by pinching my shoulder just now, but Xiaoyue won’t hold it against you.”
“But I want to settle this with you,” Li Changzhou sneered.
"Don't be ungrateful, Xiaoyue, I'm trying to help you!"
“You’re helping yourself.” Yang Qinglan’s voice was cold. “People like you also have your own punishment rules, and the rule against leaking player information is among them.”
"Sigh." Xiaoyue held her head in her hands, let out a deep sigh, and was very annoyed.
Because of bending over and tucking his head between his arms, the large "Y" neckline appeared even deeper.
Li Changzhou kept his eyes fixed on the fruit plate.
“Every time the train ride ends, you guys give your evaluations, and we give ours too. This time… I’m absolutely finished,” Xiaoyue muttered.
Suddenly, she raised her head again, her chest bouncing like a rabbit: "But if we can erase their memories, it will be convenient for you, and my punishment will be much lighter!"
"What do we need to do?" Yang Qinglan asked.
“Disrupting the peace! Engaging in a gang fight!” Xiaoyue replied, “If you go out and fight everyone, you will violate the rules. We will discuss how to punish you, as long as you don’t break the rules. We will inform them in advance that as punishment, the difficulty of the dungeon will be increased, and then their memories will be erased to prevent them from knowing that we can manipulate the difficulty of the dungeon.”
