Chapter 601 - 293: Town No. 1_2
The tunnel was about 1.5 kilometers long, and after the train left the tunnel, everyone silently closed their eyes to reminisce, trying to deepen the impression in their minds. Seeing this, Lin Wu followed suit, quietly covering Wai’s eyes with his hand to help Wai memorize.
After consecutive hassles, everyone was mentally and physically tired. They rested and zoned out on their own. Time passed, unknowingly, and the train slowly decelerated, arriving at Town No. 1.
...
The train automatically stopped when passing through the town, though it was also possible to choose not to stop.
In the town, there was no Blood Mist circle visible, only a circle of darkness, indicating that Human Town would not be invaded by the Blood Mist, so there was more time left for players. According to Maya’s calculations, it was about an hour. However, due to the accelerated invasion at the starting station, and because Maya had only observed with her naked eye for half a minute, she was not very confident in her estimation.
All except Shuihua disembarked to explore. Shuihua was in charge of gathering information and seeking supplies at the station. The most important things were coal and food—if they had enough of these, the train could keep running without stopping.
The NPCs in the town were numerous, dressed somewhat bizarrely; females mainly wore high-waisted skirts while males donned suits and top hats, some even holding canes. The town wasn’t big, shaped like a cross, with the station at the southernmost end.
After splitting up, Hong Yi was the first to find a task. She saw a food store and despite having no money, she boldly approached the owner to ask for credit. Naturally, the owner disagreed. But the owner proposed a game; it was simple—a choice among five cake boxes, two of which contained cakes. Hong Yi would get one chance. If she picked correctly, the owner would give her five cakes.
If Hong Yi chose incorrectly, she would have to work in the food store for 10 minutes.
The naive Hong Yi, having never suffered from Dawn’s tough treatment, agreed straight away. The owner brought out a long wooden board with five cake boxes on it. He motioned for Hong Yi to choose.
