Chapter 7, Top-Tier Weapons
"But cousin, how are we going to get out now?"
The black-cloaked merchant ran too fast and couldn't stop them; now both of them are trapped in this misty world.
[Ding! Congratulations to player Zhong Bingxuan for obtaining the title of First Class Cabin Owner, granting her a guaranteed first-class ticket and numerous post-apocalyptic train perks.]
[First-class passenger mission: Defeat 100 faceless clay figures.]
[World Announcement: Player Zhong Bingxuan has obtained a first-class guaranteed train ticket, successfully advancing to first place on the carriage class leaderboard, and has been rewarded with 10,000 points and two top-tier transparent throwing knives.]
[World Announcement: Player Zhong Bingxuan has successfully risen to first place in the Talent, Overall Combat Power, and Weapon Level rankings, and has received ten Talent Cards, one hundred sets of Agility Potions, and ten Enhancement Stones respectively.]
...
After a series of system announcements, a dizzying sensation ensued, and Zhong Bingxuan and Zhong Linlin were thrown directly out of the white mist space.
This spatial transfer was even more intense than the last one. Zhong Linlin ran to the side and vomited violently. Zhong Bingxuan, who was in better physical condition than her cousin, was pale and did not vomit.
Zhong Bingxuan kept a close eye on her surroundings and, finding no other danger, checked the data of the top-quality transparent darts that the system had rewarded her with.
【Name: Double Transparent Darts】
[Type: Ghostly Artifact/Spiritual Artifact]
[Quality: Top-tier 1-star (Upgradeable)]
[Effect 1: Increases damage dealt to enemies by 130%.]
【Effect 2: Not unlocked.】
Apart from that, Zhong Bingxuan couldn't find any other explanation or description. The rudimentary message had nothing to do with the word "top-quality," giving her the illusion that the system had sent her junk.
If other veteran players on Blue Star knew about Zhong Bingxuan's idea, they would be furious.
Not only was he lucky enough to get a first-class cabin ticket, but he was also rewarded by the system with two top-tier weapons with great growth potential, directly pushing a newbie to the top of the four major leaderboards. This incredible luck made everyone in the know feel envious.
Fu Yucheng is now like that giant lemon tree, exuding a sour smell from head to toe.
He was unlucky enough to be sent to the Faceless Mudman's stronghold, and in order to survive, he had to race against time to kill monsters.
That fierce woman, on the other hand, not only acquired a top-tier weapon, but also managed to snag such a great first-class train ticket.
Fu Yuchen has been through more than ten doomsday battles, but he still doesn't have a top-tier weapon. The only decent-quality weapon he owns was apparently stolen by that fierce woman, and she hasn't returned it to him yet.
Weapon grades, from lowest to highest, are: Inferior - Common - Fine - Excellent - Superior - Supreme. There are three attributes: Common Weapon, Devious Weapon, and Spirit Weapon.
The first method is ineffective against the supernatural; only the latter two methods can deal with the creatures produced by those supernatural dungeons. Fu Yuchen could only suppress his overwhelming jealousy, thinking that the girl's luck wasn't as good as he had expected and that she had only obtained an ordinary weapon.
However, that girl is also going to be in big trouble. With a first-class ticket and one or two top-tier weapons, those veteran players hiding among the native inhabitants of Earth will start to stir, killing and robbing.
If Fu Yucheng hadn't arrived on Blue Star ahead of time through a special item, taken a liking to the little girl Zhong Linlin, and not wanted to fall out with her family, he would have been tempted to snatch the treasure. Not to mention those people who had nothing to do with Zhong Bingxuan, they would never have let go of this little girl who was carrying a mountain of gold.
We should find an opportunity to take Linlin away, so she won't be led astray by that fierce woman, Zhong Bingxuan.
This was Fu Yuchen's thought at the moment. After they met up with Zhong Bingxuan and Zhong Bingxuan invited Li Hanmo to book first-class tickets, Fu Yuchen changed his mind.
The higher the level of the apocalyptic train carriage, the better the rights and services that players can enjoy.
As the leader of the Black Wolf Gang and ranked seventh in combat power, he had once obtained a VIP premium box, which allowed him to accept missions in advance and obtain the location of train tickets, etc., but it was still no match for the first-class train ticket in Zhong Bingxuan's hands.
“Cousin Linlin, look at me, look at me. I may not have done anything special, but I have worked hard. I helped you bring your boyfriend over and even helped you catch monsters. My own combat strength is not weak either. Count me in for the team application.”
Fu Yuchen started playing the emotional card, but Zhong Bingxuan had some prejudice against him and didn't want to recruit him into the team.
There are only four spots available in the team, which will be fixed for future platform slots. Bringing in an outsider might lead to them turning against their own people.
But what Fu Yuchen said wasn't wrong. Putting aside her own negative impression of Fu Yuchen, just looking at his contributions to the team, it wouldn't be appropriate to say anything without bringing him in.
"Fine, but let me make this clear from the start: I don't care what secrets you're hiding, but within my team, no one is allowed to harm each other. If I find out that you've conspired with outsiders to scheme against your own people, no matter who pleads for you, it'll be useless. I'll kill you no matter where you are."
"Haha, Zhong Bingxuan, you're overthinking it. Although I, Fu Yuchen, am not a good person, I would never do something as unethical as stabbing someone in the back."
The fierce woman had a keen intuition; she immediately discovered his secret. No wonder she disliked him from the moment they met and tried to stop him from being with Linlin.
"You better keep your word. I don't want my hands stained with the blood of my friends."
Zhong Bingxuan counted the tickets, wrote Fu Yuchen's name on the last spot, and pulled Fu Yuchen into her team.
"Alright~ From now on, we're all on the same side. Come on, let's take a pretty clay doll as our team's mascot. May we all be safe and sound and survive the shadow of the apocalypse."
Seeing that the tense atmosphere had ended, Zhong Linlin relaxed and took out the clay dolls she had bought at a high price, giving one to everyone.
Luckily, I bought an extra one. Otherwise, it would have been unfair to Senior Fu if he hadn't received a small gift, as if he were being isolated.
"What a beautiful clay doll! This is the first time you've given your senior a gift, Linlin. He will definitely cherish and take good care of it."
Zhong Linlin was embarrassed by Fu Yuchen's exaggerated tone and hid behind Zhong Bingxuan.
This is really just the team's mascot, but coming from Senior Fu, it sounds like she's giving someone a token of love.
"Fu Yucheng, behave yourself and don't flirt with Linlin. We still have a mission to complete in the carriage. If we don't complete the mission, we won't be able to get on the train."
Zhong Bingxuan only received the system notification when she was recruiting Fu Yuchen, saying that all the members of the carriage were in place and the carriage mission had officially started. She was asked to complete the mission before the ticket time countdown ended and head to the arrival point of the apocalypse train to board the train.
Those who fail to complete their carriage duties will lose their eligibility to board the train with a first-class ticket.
Zhong Bingxuan thought that once she got the ticket, especially the top-class first-class ticket, she could safely hoard resources and wait for the train to arrive, so she went straight forward.
But this was just the beginning; there were still tasks to be completed in other carriages, and if they didn't finish the ticket, it would be forfeited.
