Chapter 326: On the Train
There were several other people in the station, but they all stood in different spots, minding their own business. The players kept their distance, wary of each other but not interfering. The group in the corner showed no interest in the others either. As players kept appearing, they didn't even lift their heads, just instinctively eating.
Xu Huo only glanced briefly before withdrawing his gaze. His train arrived soon, and his view shifted again, transferring him onto the train.
"Welcome, player, aboard the Dimension Rift Game Express. This train will depart from the E-Level Station bound for a D-Level Station. Please ensure your personal safety while boarding in an orderly manner and abide by the train regulations."
"The regulations are as follows:"
"1. Non-game items are prohibited on the train."
"2. Consumption is mandatory."
"3. Do not turn on lights after lights-out."
"Additionally, the train encourages various leisure activities such as sneak attacks, brawls, and hunting. Players are free to choose."
"Wishing you a pleasant journey."
After the familiar announcement, Xu Huo had already grasped the general situation inside the carriage. Six players had boarded from the station with him. Combined with the seven players originally in the carriage, there were now thirteen players in this carriage. Figures could also be seen in the carriages ahead and behind, quite a number of them.
A projected timetable on the front door of the carriage scrolled, displaying the names of the upcoming stations.
With the start of D-level dungeons, the number of players riding the train had surged dramatically. Trains were no longer direct to a single station;
instead, players were constantly getting on and off, multiplying the risk factor.
Fortunately, the stations appearing on the timetable were all D-level stations. Correspondingly, the vast majority of players on the train should be D-level players.
"Hey, brother, wanna buy some good stuff?" A man as skinny as a monkey sat down in front of Xu Huo, addressing the burly man wearing a sleeveless leather jacket. "My goods are all top-notch, guaranteed to give you the ultimate thrill!"
As he spoke, he even pulled open half his jacket to display the merchandise, exuding a vibe reminiscent of those selling little books and discs on trains in the past.
The Burly Man was grinding a bone and didn't even lift his eyelids. "Get lost!"
The Skinny Monkey grinned. "Hey, big bro, don't be so hot-tempered. I've even got a specialized bone-polishing knife for human bones. It was once the collection of a C-level player. Who knows how many bones have been ground under that blade? The edge is polished so bright it's dazzling when you take it out at night!"
Hearing this, the Burly Man showed a flicker of interest. "Show me the goods. If they're no good, watch your head!"
The Skinny Monkey flipped his hand and instantly gripped a short knife with a jade handle. The blade indeed gleamed as he had described. Under the fully transparent window, it was almost impossible to look at directly with the naked eye.
The Burly Man's breathing changed. He immediately asked, "How much?"
"Seeing as we're so fated, I'll round it down for you. How about this number?" The Skinny Monkey raised three fingers. "Ten thousand."
The Burly Man frowned. "Too expensive."
