[Player “Mu Bai” successfully linked. Your body was lost in temporal turbulence and is now being reconstructed according to your preferences…]
[Body construction complete! Soul reshaping complete!]
[You are the only player who encountered this bug. As compensation, the game system has locked your talent quality… You have awakened your initial talent—Blessed by Heaven (Rainbow).]
[Talent Effect: Every time the train levels up, you can randomly awaken a new talent!]
“Nnngh…”
A flood of messages poured into Mu Bai’s mind.
Her brain spun and she let out a pained whimper.
When the dizziness finally faded and she opened her eyes, she realized she was in a strange, enclosed space.
Hm?
Why is my vision so clear?
I… I’m not wearing my glasses.
Did my nearsightedness cure itself?
Her brain shorted out for a moment before she recalled the messages she had just received.
She hurriedly lifted her hands to check her body.
…What the?
Her ten fingers were slender and delicate, her palms impossibly smooth, her skin so pale it looked unhealthy, with a faint blush beneath the surface.
Her clothes weren’t what she had been wearing before either—they had become a black, fluffy off-shoulder dress.
Her milky white skin contrasted sharply with the deep-black fabric.
Cream-like white hair spilled over her shoulders, soft, silky, with gentle waves at the ends, just reaching below her collarbone…
Hold up, bro!
Even without seeing her own face, she could already guess what had happened.
She checked to see if all her “parts” were still there—then let out a kettle-boiling scream.
Hands clapped over her face, steam practically rising off her head.
She had turned into a girl!
And judging by how close the ground looked—into a loli, no less!
Sure, she wrote gender-bender stories before, but experiencing one herself was way too embarrassing and sudden!
Maybe there was a tiny spark of excitement deep down inside…
But that was not important right now!
The important part was: she had suddenly been dragged into a completely unknown place, random information had been shoved into her mind, and her original body was gone—replaced by a frail little girl’s frame.
That was terrifying, dude!
Mu Bai scanned her surroundings and noticed someone else nearby.
Sitting on a bed a few steps away was a girl in a black JK uniform.
Her exposed calves were smooth like polished jade, her feet wrapped in beige ankle socks tucked into brown leather shoes.
Her upper body curved just the right amount beneath the uniform; a delicate collarbone peeked from the loosened neckline.
Her long hair hid part of her slender neck.
Her glossy black hair fell like a waterfall; her face was clean and pretty, tinted with a hint of aloofness, while her ice-blue eyes gleamed like snow-filled skies.
The girl frowned slightly, also recovering from the dizzying information dump.
She lifted her head to observe her surroundings—and spotted a tiny figure not far away.
Their eyes met, and she was instantly captivated.
The girl’s lilac-like eyes, paired with Mu Bai’s silvery hair, had an odd charm to them—an aura that pulled at the heart and made one subconsciously want to scoop the timid little thing up and protect her.
The girl didn’t realize Mu Bai only looked that way because she was still struggling to accept her sudden transformation.
“You are…?”
“I—I don’t know either. I got pulled here out of nowhere. One blink and I was suddenly here.”
Mu Bai hurried to explain before the girl finished her sentence, afraid she’d be misunderstood.
Her voice was soft and sugary—not at all masculine.
But the nervous tone only convinced the girl further: she’s scared.
With that harmless face, who would ever think a soft, fluffy little girl could be dangerous?
After a moment, the girl spoke first.
“My name is Ye Yuan. Ye as in ‘night sky’, Yuan as in ‘iris flower’.”
Mu Bai froze.
What a stylish introduction.
“I’m Mu Bai. Mu as in ‘mousse cake’, Bai as in ‘white chocolate’.”
Mu Bai racked her brain.
Damn it.
Her name had zero elegance.
No matter what angle she tried, she couldn’t make it sound classy.
She could only lean into what she had—short and sweet wins!
Ye Yuan:
“…”
Are you a dessert?
Suddenly, the forceful information surge hit again.
[Welcome to the Train Survival Game.]
[Very soon, many of you will die! If you don’t want to, listen carefully to the rules~]
[Each player will be assigned a teammate—maybe a friend, lover, classmate, family member, or someone completely random in your zone! You will share the same train, so try to get along peacefully!]
[The train isolates external dangers, but provides no supplies. Players must enter the stations where the train stops to gather resources, strengthen themselves, and upgrade the train. This improves your chance of survival and living conditions.]
[The train stops twice a day. You can choose whether to get off. Stations may contain resources and treasures…or unknown dangers. Multiple trains might stop at the same station, letting teams cooperate…or plunder each other!]
[Players who fail to return before departure will remain in that station forever. Dying in the game means real death. Don’t take risks lightly!]
[Tutorial complete. Say “System Panel” in your mind to open your interface. Good luck surviving~]
Already having experienced the sensation once, both Mu Bai and Ye Yuan endured it better this time.
After a brief discomfort, they began analyzing.
Train Survival Game…
Mu Bai felt a chill.
This game already sounded bad.
You had to leave the safety of the train to get supplies, yet outside was dangerous enough that the game straight-up warned that many would die.
If two teams meet at a station, conflict felt inevitable.
In a world where survival is on the line, Mu Bai dared not expect too much from human decency.
Especially now that she no longer had her adult male body—she looked like someone easy to bully, and her teammate was just a girl as well.
This lineup had zero intimidating power…
So unfair!
“Little Mu Bai, can you see this panel in front of me?”
Ye Yuan stepped closer and asked.
Little…?
Mu Bai blinked.
She lifted her gaze and indeed saw a faint blue screen floating between them.
“Ah… I can see it,” she nodded.
“Then look at mine.”
Ye Yuan rotated the panel.
——Personal Panel——
Player: Ye Yuan (Level 0 Train)
Race: Pure Human
Talent: Weapon Master (Gold) — Mastery of martial arts and weapon techniques; all weapons and firearms are used as naturally as one’s own limbs.
Stats: Constitution 9, Strength 8, Agility 10, Spirit 7, Charm 18
Skills: None
Equipment: None
Mu Bai momentarily forgot to object to “Little Mu Bai,” eyes glued to the golden talent Weapon Master.
A certified early-game carry!
Her own Heaven’s Blessing required train upgrades before it could shine—she was clearly a late-game monster—while Ye Yuan’s gold talent was immediately powerful.
With this teammate, she might survive long enough to scale!
Alright.
She forgave her for calling her that.
With Ye Yuan securing the early game, she could coast until late game and become a hard carry!
