Chapter 42, First Class Mission in Progress
When Zhong Bingxuan saw the message from her friend, she felt relieved. After relaxing, she was exhausted and went straight to bed in her bedroom.
[Ding! The Doomsday Train is about to arrive at its next stop. First-class player Zhong Bingxuan, please select the next stop's dungeon theme.]
【1. Sea Adventure】
[Rank: 2 stars]
[Type: Disaster]
2. Bloodshed and carnage
[Rank: Five Stars]
[Genre: Battle Royale]
3. Red Light, Red Light, Red Light
[Rank: 3 stars]
Type: Monster Invasion
【4. The Mysterious Mirror World】
[Rank: 5 stars]
[Genre: Supernatural Revival]
Zhong Bingxuan rested well for three days. The train was about to arrive at the station, and the adventure officially began.
This time, the site's dungeon theme level is quite high. There are no one-star dungeons, the lowest is two-star, and even five-star dungeons have appeared, most of which are theme items that appeared in the previous dungeon.
This gave Zhong Bingxuan a premonition that the dungeon theme she hadn't selected this time would appear in the next dungeon selection.
As a semi-newbie who has only experienced two dungeons, Zhong Bingxuan naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to look for five-star dungeons. Dungeons 2 and 4, Bloodbath and Shadow Mirror World were ruled out in advance.
Only the first and third station instances remain: the sea adventure and the "Red Light, Green Light" game. One is a disaster, and the other is a monster invasion.
Zhong Bingxuan's first dungeon, the Monster Invasion dungeon, is a three-star dungeon and not too difficult. However, the "Red Light, Green Light" dungeon is also a three-star dungeon and might not be so easy to solve.
Let's check out the two-star disaster instance. Zhong Bingxuan made her choice and clicked on "Sea Adventure".
[Ding! Player Zhong Bingxuan has selected a two-star sea adventure. Please sit tight and hold on. The next sea adventure will begin in one minute.]
Zhong Bingxuan made her choice, and the apocalyptic train began to move, heading towards an unknown future.
A minute passed in the blink of an eye. Zhong Bingxuan smelled the salty seawater; they had arrived at the sea adventure instance site.
Zhong Bingxuan is currently on an unknown small boat inside a sea adventure instance. Before her is a vast and boundless sea with no end in sight.
The train's announcement about this sea adventure also reached Zhong Bingxuan's ears.
[Ding-dong, coordinates: Sea Adventure, theme: Disaster Strikes, arrived, mission: safely return to shore.]
Please carefully observe your surroundings and ensure you are in a favorable position. Disasters will begin to unfold three days later.
[First Class Mission: Successfully board the giant ship and survive inside for three days.]
[Personal Mission: After a natural disaster strikes, you will be rewarded with 10 points and 1 health point for each NPC you save.]
There were very few dungeon missions this time, and the system rewards were stingy, so Zhong Bingxuan chose to do a personal mission, doing it when she had the chance and ignoring it when she didn't, prioritizing her own safety.
In this instance, Zhong Bingxuan's identity is that of a widow's daughter. Her father has just died, and she is accompanying her mother on a small boat trip at sea to relax. This is only the first day.
As for the giant ship mentioned in first class, it departed together with their small boat. The only difference was that the passengers on the giant ship were all wealthy and powerful, people that the two commoners could not possibly associate with.
Boarding a giant ship and surviving on it for three days is easy for wealthy people, but for ordinary folks like them, it's incredibly difficult.
During the three-day safety period, Zhong Bingxuan tried countless methods but could not find a way to get on the giant ship.
Even though the giant ship is more dangerous than a small boat, the first-class mission cannot be neglected, and Zhong Bingxuan must successfully board the ship within the safe period.
The dungeon won't give players an impossible task; ordinary players will definitely find a way to board the giant ship.
"Help! Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
Soon, the opportunity came.
A sharp-eyed sailor on deck spotted a person on the water and called for his companions to come and help rescue him.
Looking at the man from afar, Zhong Bingxuan noticed that his clothes and jewelry were worth at least tens of millions of yuan, clearly indicating that he was a wealthy person.
She urged her mother to go and check the situation together to avoid exposing herself.
Sometimes, the human heart is more terrifying than disaster itself; it's better to remain an NPC (non-player character) and survive discreetly.
"An'an, this person seems to be from the big ship."
In the game, Zhong Bingxuan's name is Yun An'an, and the person in front of her who affectionately calls her by her nickname is her mother.
"Mother, how do you know the other person is from the giant ship?"
Zhong Bingxuan looked at An's mother strangely. In fact, Zhong Bingxuan had felt that something was wrong from the beginning. They didn't go out to play on that day, but only these past few days when the giant ship was about to set sail did the mother and daughter go out to play.
Previously, she could still convince herself with the dungeon setting, but after An's mother said this today, Zhong Bingxuan could no longer justify herself.
“Oh, my good daughter, how can you still be as naive as ever? Your father is dead, and we are a widow and orphan. If we don’t find someone to rely on, we’ll be devoured alive by those wolves and tigers in your father’s family.”
"So, we came here to fish..."
"That's right."
Zhong Bingxuan opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
Let Anmu support herself and not rely on men. If men were reliable, pigs could fly.
But Zhong Bingxuan was just a passerby; she would be leaving after completing this task, and she couldn't comment on some of Anmu's actions.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about our daughter. Just look after your mother."
However, Zhong Bingxuan's hesitant manner led to a misunderstanding by An's mother, who then decided to take matters into her own hands.
Zhong Bingxuan twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to pull An's mother back, but then she remembered that disaster was about to happen.
The most serious danger at sea is a storm. Once a storm comes, their small boat will capsize on the spot. Besides, Zhong Bingxuan also has a first-class mission to do, and she has to go on the giant ship. Why not let An's mother give it a try? If she succeeds, that would be best. If she fails, the mother and daughter will not suffer any loss.
Of course, Zhong Bingxuan didn't place all her hopes on An's mother. She also looked for other ways. Unfortunately, the inspection on the giant ship was strict. Anyone who tried to smuggle themselves on board would be discovered by the patrolling sailors and driven off.
That's right, they were kicked off the ship on the spot, regardless of whether they lived or died.
"An'an, what are you standing there for? Be a little sweeter, and we, mother and daughter, will never have to worry about food and drink in the future."
Zhong Bingxuan returned in defeat once again, only to be surprised to see An's mother bringing over a gentle, middle-aged man.
This was the first time I'd been carried by an NPC. The most difficult prerequisite for getting into first class was accomplished under Anmu's charismatic charm.
"Hello, Uncle Ha."
"Why are you calling me Uncle Ha? You really don't know how to speak properly. Call me Dad."
"dad?"
Zhong Bingxuan held back for a long time before finally managing to utter the word "Dad," which was too difficult for her.
"Okay, here's a gift from Dad. Take it."
"mom?"
Zhong Bingxuan turned her gaze to An's mother, who nodded and told Zhong Bingxuan to accept the package. An's mother then instructed her daughter to pack her things, as they would be going to the giant ship soon.
Zhong Bingxuan never expected that the most difficult thing would be accomplished under An Mu's radiant charm. Until she boarded the giant ship, she was still dizzy and disoriented.
"Hallelin, you're something else. You go out for a while and bring back a beautiful woman."
A man in a suit winked at Harlelin, his gaze lewdly drifting towards Zhong Bingxuan, making Zhong Bingxuan feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Manraven, keep your eyes peeled, she's my future stepdaughter."
Harlein reprimanded Manlavin with a stern face, while covering Zhong Bingxuan up completely.
"Oh, Harlelin, you should have said so earlier! I didn't know. I apologize, okay? Come on, let's go to the lobby. I heard there are some entertainment activities going on there."
Manraven continued to joke and play around with Halalin, ignoring Halalin's scolding.
