[The train is about to arrive. This stop is the Trial Station, Station Type: Game (Special), Difficulty Level: 6]
[Docking Time: ??]
[Trial Mission: This station consists of countless “rooms.” The “rooms” are divided into three types: Monster Rooms, Supply Rooms, and Adventure Rooms, arranged in a grid. Follow the compass to reach the final “room.” No time limit!]
The announcement rang out on time.
Hearing that it was a Level 6 Trial Station, and a Game type with insufficient information, Mu Bai bit her lower lip.
This damned Train System keeps turning up the difficulty.
Since the Kill and Maim Stations, the difficulty has indeed increased significantly, but at most, only a little over a day has passed on the train!
Right after the Promotion Site ends, we get a Trial Site—each one harder than the last.
How is there no transition time at all?!
“Ye Yin, how are you feeling?”
Mu Bai remembered that Ye Yin had suffered considerable internal injuries last night.
After a night of healing, she was already able to get out of bed and eat this morning, and there was no obvious problem with her movements.
But that only proved she could take care of herself.
If her injuries weren’t fully healed, it would definitely affect combat.
A Trial Station—they had to enter… and it was unprecedented difficulty.
It really came at a bad time.
“Not fully healed, but it doesn’t affect much.”
Mu Bai pretended it was nothing, but she had to be truthful.
Internal injuries were indeed not easy to recover from.
In her current state, she couldn’t exert full strength, and there were slight deviations in her control over her body compared to normal.
Basically, she couldn’t engage in close combat.
However, her strength had never been close-quarters combat.
Given the current player combat power and monster strength, firearms could handle over 90% of situations.
A mere internal injury wouldn’t affect her shooting.
“Don’t push yourself. If it’s really bad, you can use an Instant Healing Potion to restore your condition,” Mu Bai said worriedly.
The description of the Instant Healing Potion said it could pull back fatal injuries, so its healing effect was definitely strong.
Dealing with a non-fatal internal injury should be a piece of cake.
Moreover, Ye Yin’s internal injury had been healed with a night of charging, so she was at least 30-40% recovered by now.
Back then, a severe gunshot wound had almost fully recovered in a day.
Even though the injury site was different this time, the efficiency shouldn’t be much worse.
Although this item was strategically significant, almost like half a revival coin, she had [Angel’s Protection], which was to some extent a superior replacement.
Just like evaluating the value of the Metal Agent… avoiding injury is always better than treating after injury!
“My injury is fine. Keep the potion for emergencies,” Ye Yin shook her head.
This kind of consumable item was quite precious; it couldn’t be used casually.
Mu Bai’s Protection uses were also limited.
Use consumable items when possible, and save [Angel’s Protection] ‘s fatal damage immunity as a last resort.
One was active, one was passive; obviously the passive was more precious.
Seeing Ye Yin insist, Mu Bai could only give up.
The train arrived at the station.
Just as Ye Yin was about to step out first, a pink figure blocked her path.
“I’ll take this one,” Tang Shifu said without hesitation.
In the past, Ye Yin was always the first to leave the train.
Now that she was injured, she was naturally not suited to be the first to enter the station.
Mu Bai had no combat ability, and Mo Cha wasn’t good at frontal combat.
It was right for her to take the risk of being the first to show up.
Ye Yin stepped aside slightly without saying anything, retreating half a step to give way.
Tang Shifu stepped out of the train door.
The others followed in turn.
Upon entering the station, the train immediately disappeared.
At that moment, the four of them arrived inside a huge room.
It was more like a square hall of several hundred square meters than a room.
It was empty, with only a table in the center, on which lay a device in the shape of a compass.
Mu Bai observed for a few seconds.
Sensing no danger, she stepped forward and picked up the compass on the table.
The needle pointed steadily toward one corner of the room.
No matter how she turned it, the direction remained the same.
Looking around, the entire hall had four doors.
The doors were identical in color and style, and there was no way to tell what rooms lay behind them.
It seemed that luck was a significant factor in this station.
Fortunately, there was no time limit, meaning players didn’t have to scramble for a limited number of clear slots.
The first to clear would most likely obtain the Site Treasure, and subsequent players who survived and found the final room could at least return to the train.
Compared to the last Level 4 Game Site, the rules were more humane.
But that wasn’t entirely a good thing…
The rules were less harsh, but the difficulty had increased by two levels.
The danger couldn’t be underestimated.
“Let’s go,” Mu Bai pointed casually.
From the two doors closest to the destination, she chose one.
Mo Cha started by swiftly moving forward a few steps, putting some distance between herself and the three behind her, scouting ahead in stealth.
The door wasn’t locked, and opened easily.
It was another empty hall, seemingly without any danger.
They entered one by one.
At the same time, three teeth-grinding squeezing sounds, along with the crackling of something breaking, sounded behind them simultaneously.
Mu Bai was startled and immediately turned to check, but only caught a glimpse of a door crushed by the wall.
The next second, the door connecting the two rooms also clicked shut.
“Tang Shifu, try to punch through the wall!”
Since they couldn’t choose rooms, fighting enemies in monster rooms was inevitable.
If Tang Shifu could break through the wall, they would have the option to escape and maneuver when facing an undefeatable monster.
Otherwise, once the door closed and the monster appeared, it would be either the players die or the monster dies—they would have to fight to the end.
Tang Shifu didn’t reply.
She directly threw a punch.
Thud!
A dull impact sound rang out.
Mu Bai could almost feel the ground tremble beneath her feet.
“So painful…”
Tang Shifu’s face turned pale.
She pulled back her fist.
Her hand trembled from the pain as she kept rubbing it, seemingly trying to relieve the pain through this method.
Even though her talent was good at destroying terrain, it still hurt.
She hadn’t taken the Metal Agent; she wasn’t made of iron.
If not for her high Constitution stat, someone else would probably have shattered their knuckles.
Mu Bai thought for a moment, then instructed, “Try to break the door…”
Tang Shifu: “…”
Again?!
After trying, they came to a conclusion.
The doors and walls were indestructible.
This was likely deliberately designed by the Train System to prevent players with special talents from cheating.
It was exactly to stop people like Master Tang.
However, interestingly, the floor could be destroyed.
But they couldn’t dig through the room from underneath because the indestructible walls extended below the ground, likely infinitely.
Digging through was out of the question.
The floor could be destroyed probably because it was judged as part of the room’s content.
And items in the room could be damaged.
After understanding the unspoken rules, Mu Bai turned her gaze to the silver treasure chest in the center of the hall.
A Silver Treasure Chest…?
It didn’t really look like one.
