Train time, 5:50 PM.
Ten minutes until the next stop; Mu Bai felt rested and climbed out of bed.
She had only slept for three or four hours, but since they had arrived back at the train that afternoon, it was essentially a long nap.
Moreover, her current [Power Bank Constitution] could charge two people at once; Mu Bai felt full of energy every time she woke up.
Hmm…
It seemed the talent description didn’t say it could only be used on one target.
Could it work on several people at the same time?
Mu Bai couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild, then immediately shook her head to clear it.
She had visualized herself stuck in the middle of a group, feeling torn.
It was all a bit too suggestive, and certainly not suitable for children.
‘What kind of strange things am I thinking about?’
She got up, straightened her clothes, and prepared to enter the station.
Ye Yuan was awakened by Mu Bai’s movements; perhaps still dazed from sleep, she sat on the bed not knowing what to think.
With everything ready, Mu Bai passed through the carriage partition and entered the compartment shared by Mo Cha and the others.
She had intended to wake them up to prepare for exploration, but both were already up.
Mo Cha had changed into clothes suitable for movement and was sitting to the side, drinking milk for energy.
Tang Shifu was sitting on the bed brushing her hair, strands a bit messy and her gaze unfocused—a stark contrast to her energetic self inside a station.
Even though Tang Shifu wasn’t intentionally puffing out her chest, but rather hunching over slightly, the bounce beneath her thin pajamas was incredibly eye-catching.
Mu Bai remained expressionless on the surface, but her eyes widened in shock internally.
‘I couldn’t tell from the outside, I didn’t realize Master Tang was so well-endowed.’
‘With a setting like this, and pink hair too… are you Bocchi-chan?’
Mu Bai quietly looked down at her own chest, then covered her face.
“Fufu is like that. She has to bind it with bandages for the sake of movement, otherwise it’s very uncomfortable during exercise and combat,” Mo Cha said with a smile.
She noticed Mu Bai’s gaze and easily saw through what she was thinking.
“Chacha, what are you saying!”
Tang Shifu was clearly annoyed, not questioning.
‘Is that something you can just say out loud?’
To tease her about such things in front of a new teammate…
Her friend, who had always been so careful about boundaries with others, why was she so reckless today?
“Ahem… I came to tell you to prepare to enter the station. Whether there are resources or not, we should go out and get a feel for our team synergy. But since you’re both up, I’ll head back.”
Mu Bai couldn’t continue the conversation, her eyes drifting away.
Without waiting for a response, she left the compartment and returned to her own.
Mo Cha watched Mu Bai’s back.
The milk in her carton was finished, producing a hissing sound as air was sucked in.
She bit the straw and set the empty box aside, planning to take it off the train to throw away later.
“Chacha, what is wrong with you?”
Tang Shifu pressed.
After finishing her hair, she picked up the bandages from beside her and expertly wrapped them tightly.
“I didn’t say it in a lewd way. I was just stating a fact. You are the one who is too sensitive,” Mo Cha said with an innocent shrug.
Tang Shifu sighed helplessly.
There was no helping Mo Cha.
The joys and sorrows of people were not always connected; some things others envied were just a nuisance to her.

[The train is about to arrive. This destination is a Reward Station. Difficulty: None. Duration: 3 days.]
[This station is a special reward for outstanding contributions during the Slaughter Station missions. There are no treasures. Players may spend three days on vacation, collect supplies, and adjust their physical and mental states.]
[After three days, the train will automatically appear near the players. If you do not return to the train within 5 minutes, you will face the Mist directly. Have a good time!]
The train broadcast played right on time.
But this time, the content surprised everyone.
Mu Bai’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She had been prepared to enter a normal station to practice team coordination, never expecting this.
A Reward Station, a three-day vacation…
There was such a good thing?
One had to know, time in a station differed from time on the train.
The train stopped at stations twice every 24 hours.
If one returned within 6 hours, time flowed normally.
If one spent more than 6 hours, no matter how much time passed, only 6 hours would have elapsed on the train.
Although it was annoying to keep adjusting her watch, it became a benefit now.
They wouldn’t fall behind others because of a vacation station.
They had been under immense pressure for so many days; it was time to properly relax.
Mo Cha and Tang Shifu stepped out of their compartment one after another.
Since their carriage had merged with the train, it lacked its own door, and they had to enter and exit the train through the area with Mu Bai and Ye Yuan.
“We are ready…”
Tang Shifu started, then stopped herself.
She was wearing light training gear, and Mo Cha was fully armed.
They had prepared for danger, only to find it was a vacation station.
The way she said it made it sound like they were impatient for a vacation.
“Should we still bring these?”
Ye Yuan gestured to Mu Bai’s backpack.
It wasn’t just Mu Bai; Tang Shifu also carried one.
Mu Bai’s was light, mainly to cover for the existence of her portable space, while Tang Shifu’s was stuffed to the brim.
“Better to bring them, just in case… but leave all your firearms in my portable space. If this is a peaceful society, we’ll be wanted the moment we arrive,” Mu Bai said after a few seconds of thought.
“I agree,” Mo Cha said, holding out her assault rifle.
“Fine.”
Ye Yuan glanced at Mo Cha before handing her M4A1 and Beretta to Mu Bai.
Mu Bai took out the miscellaneous items from her space and stored the firearms.
Including the M110 and ammunition already inside, the 3-cubic-meter space was filled up perfectly.
The others did not sit idle, hiding their sharp weapons on their bodies so they weren’t visible from the outside.
“Now we can go,” Mu Bai said after checking to ensure nothing was missed.
The train arrived on time.
The door opened to a wash of white light outside.
Just like when entering the Slaughter Station, nothing could be seen, but this time the light was relatively gentle, much better than the feeling given by the chaos.
Ye Yuan stepped off the train first, as usual.
Then Mu Bai followed…
The others trailed behind.
The moment she left the train, Mu Bai felt the world spin.
Suddenly, she was sitting in front of her computer desk in a dim room.
…This position, wasn’t it the very moment before she transmigrated?
She remembered it clearly!
Mu Bai hurriedly checked her body.
Still wearing the spaghetti-strap dress, still tiny.
‘Whew! Thank goodness, I didn’t turn back.’
‘That would have been a horror story.’
Mu Bai didn’t reach out to family first, because she had no parents, only a few close friends…
She didn’t know if her social ties had been rewritten by the train system, but even if they hadn’t, she couldn’t see her friends in this state.
After some thought, Mu Bai didn’t stand up, but opened the browser.
