At the other end of the carriage, Tang Shifu squeezed through, followed by Mo Cha.
“Is this a Level 3 Train… it’s huge!”
Tang Shifu marveled.
She wasn’t referring to just the carriage, of course, but the train as a whole.
She and Mo Cha still had the touch screen in their main carriage, so they checked the train’s structure directly.
After adding their main carriage, the train now had four carriages in total, including the bath carriage and the planting carriage.
The entire train was starting to take shape.
In contrast, the train she and Mo Cha had shared until now only had two carriages.
The size of one’s living space could intuitively affect their survival mindset.
Comparing the two, even the loss of her private bathroom didn’t feel quite so bad anymore.
Mu Bai tilted her small head up, feeling a bit proud.
However, when she remembered what she was about to do, her gaze began to flicker uncertainly.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she said bashfully, “I’m sorry. We weren’t teammates before, so there was a secret I kept from you. Actually, my initial Talent wasn’t [Power Bank Constitution]…”
She had prepared herself mentally when she accepted the proposal to merge teams.
As teammates, they would have to support one another to survive in the future.
All information had to be open and transparent within the team; otherwise, how could they ensure absolute trust in a critical moment?
Besides, now that the teams had merged, they were all in the same boat.
There was no point in hiding anything.
If there was anything Mu Bai was actually worried about, it was the fact that she had told many lies to hide [Cooking Expert] and [Portable Space].
No matter the reason, it was still a shameful act of deception.
Even if it was justifiable, it would be bad if it upset the two of them…
“What do you mean?”
Mo Cha and Tang Shifu looked at each other, both clearly confused.
After all, [Power Bank Constitution] had clearly been used before, and Tang Shifu had experienced it firsthand.
It had never even occurred to them that someone could possess multiple Talents at once.
“It’s exactly what it sounds like. Although [Power Bank Constitution] is indeed my Talent, I actually have quite a few of them… here, it’s probably better if you just see for yourselves.” Mu Bai felt it was too much trouble to explain, so she summoned her [Personal Panel].
She lowered her head and silently avoided eye contact.
One Colorful, two Gold, and one Blue.
Four Talents were listed in order in the Talent column of her [Personal Panel].
The Colorful one shimmered with a flowing light, while the Gold ones were dazzlingly bright.
Even though a Blue Talent was considered quite rare among ordinary Players, it looked dim and lackluster beneath this row of ridiculous Talents.
“[Chosen of Heaven]… so strong!”
Mo Cha said in shock.
Judging by the current speed of upgrading three times in twenty days, this Talent had only just begun to be developed.
By the later stages of the game, Mu Bai would likely become a literal bug in the system.
No… in fact, simply possessing two Gold quality Talents at the same time was already a bug!
“And the upgraded [Power Bank Constitution] can heal wounds, while [Portable Space] provides immense convenience for survival and combat. Even [Cooking Expert] can increase physical stats… all of these Talents have incredible utility,” Tang Shifu murmured, her expression shifting as she stared at the panel.
[Power Bank Constitution] could already restore stamina and energy.
Not only was it practical for daily life, but it was also a massive help when dealing with a lack of Mental Power.
Now that it had become a Gold Talent, it could even heal injuries, providing the team with a huge margin for error in the [Survival Game].
One had to realize that many Players didn’t actually die inside the Stations.
After fighting for their lives and successfully returning to the Train, they simply had no way to treat their wounds.
In the end, they could only die from blood loss or wound infections—or become incapacitated and unable to continue gathering resources.
With this Talent, as long as they were careful not to receive a fatal blow, the team would never lose a member.
It would also minimize the dire situation of being forced to leave a Station while carrying wounded teammates.
[Portable Space] went without saying.
The fact that Mu Bai had used it to secretly obtain a sniper rifle already proved the value of the Talent.
As for [Cooking Expert]…
It looked like an ordinary Blue Talent, but it was a direct path to increasing attribute points.
If its quality was increased further in the future, the stat-boosting effects might become even more heaven-defying.
Looking at it this way…
The Little White-Haired One before them was essentially a talent who combined top-tier support abilities with multi-faceted logistics.
Having such a sweet, soft healer to back the team up while also accelerating their growth—it felt amazing just thinking about it.
Mo Cha and Tang Shifu scanned Mu Bai from head to toe over and over again with the look one might give a rare creature.
Their gazes were highly predatory.
The blatant staring made Mu Bai shiver.
She looked up timidly and asked, “Are you… finished looking?”
If they were done, she was going to close it.
“Yes, yes. It’s fine, we don’t mind at all.”
Mo Cha finally remembered that Mu Bai had been apologizing for hiding her Talents, so she quickly consoled her.
“It’s understandable… besides, we’re more than happy that you have that kind of defensive awareness,” Tang Shifu said, patting her chest magnanimously.
By the way, so the highest quality for a Talent was actually Colorful?
It seemed their own Gold Talents might still have room for improvement in the future.
***
To celebrate the addition of new teammates, Mu Bai picked out several self-heating hot pots from the supplies she had obtained at the Shopping Mall and cooked some rice to go with them.
There were three flavors of hot pot and enough rice for four portions.
Since entering the Train, the best thing Tang Shifu and Mo Cha had eaten was that pot of stew, followed by the grilled meat Mu Bai had made at the last Station.
Usually, they were lucky if they could even eat dried meat.
Having not eaten hot pot in a long time, they didn’t have to ration their portions, and there was plenty of rice to go around.
The meal was incredibly satisfying.
Tang Shifu buried her head and ate with high spirits.
Mo Cha chatted with Mu Bai from time to time, and Mu Bai was in a good mood as well.
Only the girl with long black hair sat to the side, eating her food quietly.
She didn’t reach for the side dishes much, looking as though she wasn’t particularly interested.
Because the air around her felt several degrees colder, Mu Bai keenly sensed that something was a bit off with Ye Yuan.
However, this wasn’t the right setting to whisper privately, so she made a mental note of it.
“Oh, right. I wonder what the [Chat Room] will look like now that only 200 people survived the [Slaughter Station],” Mo Cha suddenly remarked.
She wasn’t worried about the atmosphere of the [Chat Room].
There was already very little trust among Players to begin with, and they rarely obtained useful information from it anyway.
Her main concern was that the people in the [Trading Market] were all Players from the same [Chat Room].
With only 200 people left, that number would likely only dwindle in the future.
She wondered if the [Trading Market] would eventually become useless as a resource channel…
Mu Bai was also curious.
She felt that [The System] probably wouldn’t just stand by and let that happen.
It had likely made some subtle moves after they left the [Slaughter Station] that they simply hadn’t noticed yet.
She opened the [Chat] function and entered the [Chat Room].
At the very top, the displayed headcount had returned to 10,000 once again.
Since it seemed everyone had just survived a [Slaughter Station], the [Chat Room] was bursting with activity.
