Chapter 8 "Could you get another ticket to ensure you survive if the mission fails?"
Li Hanmo frowned. Zhong Bingxuan had already told everyone about the mission. The others were fine, but Zhong Linlin's combat ability was too poor, and the mission was too difficult for her.
The passenger mission is not a team mission. Zhong Linlin has to deal with 100 faceless clay figures by herself. Even if they are all ordinary faceless clay figures, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky for Zhong Linlin.
Moreover, as time goes on, there will be fewer and fewer low-level one-star faceless mudmen, while the number of faceless mudmen with special talents will increase. Zhong Linlin must complete the mission as soon as possible.
"I don't know. We can only prepare for both possibilities: continue looking for tickets while completing the first-class task."
Zhong Bingxuan, like Li Hanmo, was a novice who didn't understand the train rules and could only take things one step at a time.
"OK."
Fu Yuchen confidently told everyone that the plan was feasible, which immediately aroused suspicion from Zhong Bingxuan and Li Hanmo. As for Zhong Linlin, she was simple-minded and didn't think too much about it.
Faced with the suspicious gazes of Zhong Bingxuan and the other woman, Fu Yuchen calmly took out the train ticket from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Bingxuan.
Zhong Bingxuan took a look and found that it was a VIP double train ticket, and the person bound to it was Fu Yuchen.
"What is this ticket task? When does the train depart?"
A glint flashed in Zhong Bingxuan's eyes, then she remembered the train ticket in her hand and asked Fu Yuchen for details.
"The mission is easier than the first-class mission. It only requires killing ten faceless mud men. It's a bit difficult for Linlin, but she can manage it."
Fu Yuchen thought he could finally go to first class for some fun, but unfortunately, the first class mission was a combat mission with a high level of difficulty, which the little girl couldn't possibly complete.
"Okay, Linlin, you can bind Fu Yucheng's ticket."
"Oh, right, I forgot to mention that although the Doomsday Train doesn't limit the number of tickets a person can have, each person can only use one ticket for one journey. If Linlin only completes the tasks I have, then she can only go to my compartment and can't go to the first-class section."
Zhong Bingxuan nodded, indicating that she knew. The Doomsday Train was clearly not stupid and would not leave such an obvious loophole unrepaired.
If anyone could complete the low-level compartment missions and board the train to enjoy the benefits of the high-level compartments, wouldn't the Doomsday Train be losing out big time?
"Linlin, are you okay by yourself?"
Zhong Bingxuan was a little worried about letting Linlin go alone, and thought about finding another train ticket to go with her sometime.
Zhong Bingxuan never intended for Fu Yuchen to give up first-class benefits and go to a regular VIP cabin.
"I'll just go with Linlin."
"That would be too much trouble for you, Senior Fu. I can take care of myself."
Zhong Linlin dislikes troubling others, so she quickly refused Fu Yuchen's offer and forced herself to grow up.
“I’m the VIP box owner. If I don’t go, Linlin, you won’t be able to get on the bus.”
Fu Yuchen explained to avoid putting the little girl under any psychological burden.
"In that case, let's split up. You take Linlin to kill monsters, and Ah Xuan and I will see if there are any other tickets. Let's try to find a ticket that is high-level and the task is not difficult."
Time was of the essence, and Li Hanmo interrupted Fu Yucheng and Zhong Linlin's desire to continue chatting.
He and Linlin only had first-class tickets. Unless it was a one-star un-humanized Faceless Mudman, it would be difficult to deal with even one Faceless Mudman with innate abilities, let alone a hundred. Time was of the essence, and there would be fewer and fewer easy monsters to kill later on.
With Fu Yuchen taking care of Zhong Linlin, all she needs to do is find ten one-star faceless mud figures. Fu Yuchen had already killed quite a few faceless mud figures while he was with Li Hanmo, so the number was more than enough. There was no need to worry about the mission.
If it weren't for Fu Yuchen's interest in Linlin, he would have even risked flying into first class.
"But……"
"Ah Xuan, everyone has to grow up. You can't protect her forever. What will happen to Linlin when you can no longer protect her?"
Li Hanmo knew that Zhong Bingxuan felt sorry for her cousin who had never been loved by her parents since childhood, but in this world, if she didn't want to become a burden to everyone, and if she didn't want to die, the only way was to become strong herself.
Li Hanmo would only help Zhong Linlin if he had a choice. If there was no choice and only one person could survive, Li Hanmo would disregard his own life and focus on protecting Zhong Bingxuan's safety, let alone being able to spare any attention to protect that girl Zhong Linlin.
On this point, Li Hanmo believed that Fu Yuchen made a similar choice to him. If it meant their deaths, they would both protect Zhong Linlin. This was an instinct he had as a fellow human being, and he felt very reassured entrusting her to Fu Yuchen.
Zhong Bingxuan knew that Li Hanmo was right. For her cousin's sake, she couldn't stop her from becoming stronger.
Linlin develops a habit of relying on Zhong Bingxuan whenever she's around, which is detrimental to her growth.
"Okay, Fu Yucheng, you have to take good care of Linlin. If anything happens to Linlin, I'll never forgive you."
In short, Fu Yucheng has too many secrets, and Zhong Bingxuan is very worried about him. If it were Li Hanmo, she wouldn't be so worried.
Zhong Bingxuan looked at Li Hanmo, who shook his head to indicate that it was inappropriate.
"I don't have the ticket with me."
Yes, to avoid Linlin and Fu Yuchen getting separated and potentially missing out on board due to unforeseen circumstances, Fu Yuchen and Zhong Linlin are still traveling together.
"Don't worry about me, you fierce woman. There are only ten faceless clay figures. I'll take care of them with Linlin in no time. You should focus on yourselves. First class is nice, but with the system announcement and extremely difficult missions, you should try to get another ticket to save your lives."
Fu Yuchen had never experienced first-class travel before, so he gave Zhong Bingxuan a friendly reminder to avoid her dying prematurely and missing out on the benefits. There was also something else he didn't say: the first-class departure time was too late this time, which might cause unforeseen circumstances, so it was better to get on the train as soon as possible.
"Thank you for the reminder. Please be careful too."
Li Hanmo nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it, and then parted ways with his girlfriend and Fu Yuchen.
"Hanmo, what kind of person do you think Fu Yucheng is?"
Zhong Bingxuan couldn't shake the feeling of entrusting her cousin to a sinister man full of secrets.
"Don't worry, that guy will take good care of my cousin. After all, the way he looks at her is the same way I look at you. When it comes to life and death, I will protect you with my life, and I'm sure that guy will do the same."
There was nothing she could do; that was the situation at hand, and that was the only way Zhong Bingxuan could console herself.
"I wonder where Fu Yucheng found the train ticket?"
Even if Fu Yuchen hadn't reminded Zhong Bingxuan, she would have still planned to look for the train ticket. The way she obtained the ticket was too unusual to be considered a reliable answer.
While you're still doing tasks in your familiar hometown, quickly familiarize yourself with how to obtain train tickets. This will greatly help your station's survival in the future.
