Qi Xiao rubbed his throbbing head and woke up in the Train carriage.
"Why am I on a Train? Am I being sold to northern Myanmar?"
Qi Xiao, an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, had just graduated from university and finally found a job, but he was still in his internship.
No wonder the female supervisor kept plying him with drinks last night. That woman didn't look like a good person!
Where's my phone? I need to call the police.
Qi Xiao wanted to find his phone to call the police, but he had nothing on him except the clothes he was wearing.
Just then, a broadcast sounded in the carriage.
"Welcome everyone to the Train Survival World."
"Here there are endless treasures, but also unknown dangers. Explore the Station and live well."
"The following are the Train rules."
"One: The Train drives automatically and requires no control. Every morning at 8 AM, the Train will stop at a random Station, and depart at 11 AM. During this period, you can disembark to explore or stay on the Train. Please ensure you are inside the Train when it departs, otherwise you will be left at that Station."
"Two: Collect supplies and level up. For every level you gain, you acquire one Train carriage. New functions will also be unlocked at specific levels."
"Three: The first twelve days are the internship period. During the internship, your Train carriage temperature will be constant and absolutely safe; creatures on the platform will not enter your carriage. However, other Chief are an exception, so be careful to protect your own Train."
"The Train is starting. Please sit tight and hold on."
A roar sounded, and Qi Xiao felt the Train begin to move.
Qi Xiao quickly rushed to the Train window, but outside it was pitch black; he couldn't see anything.
So, I'm not being sold to northern Myanmar? Instead, it's really like in novels, I've come to another world and am forced to participate in a survival game.
"Welcome everyone," so I'm not the only one who came?
Qi Xiao went to the front of the Train, where it displayed: "Train Number 19990526 Chief Qi Xiao has logged in."
His avatar was his own headshot, looking very energetic.
"Chief: Qi Xiao"
"Level: 1"
"Number of Carriages: 1"
"Initial Carriage x 1 (Length 5 meters, Width 3 meters, Height 2.8 meters)"
Closing his personal information, there were two other Special Module on the page—the Chief Chatroom and the Trading Platform.
Qi Xiao clicked into the chatroom, which showed he was assigned to the Public Chatroom for Zone 2000, with 10,000 users online.
The input box displayed: "Daily Number of speeches: 10."
"Wang Defa, what is this? A large-scale performance show?"
"My broadcast here says this is a Train survival game, are you all experiencing the same? Is this still in the country?"
"Good, good, good, no more early morning classes!"
"Cuilan, are you there? Are the children with you? Please reply if you see this."
"Damn it, I just passed my exam after ten years of trying, don't mess with me!!!"
The chatroom had a built-in translation function. Qi Xiao saw that messages from avatars of black or white people were automatically translated into Chinese.
Although limited to ten messages, there were too many people, and messages exploded like popcorn.
"Families, there's a Newbie Gift Pack in the small cabinet at the front of the Train! I opened a bottle of mineral water!"
Mineral water?
Finally, he saw a useful message.
Qi Xiao smacked his lips; he was so thirsty after a hangover and really wanted water.
He opened the door and entered the front of the Train. There was indeed a small cabinet next to the control panel.
Qi Xiao opened the cabinet door with anticipation.
Inside the cabinet lay a red card with no text or patterns on it.
What is this? Why isn't it water?
Qi Xiao was a bit disappointed. He took the card and returned to the screen.
"I got a barrel of mineral water, not bad."
"A box of instant noodles, a box of water, three packs of ham sausages. I'm set."
"The European Emperor is terrifyingly strong; the cucumber in my hand suddenly doesn't taste good anymore."
They all seem to have food, but I just got a broken card?
Just as Qi Xiao was speechless, a message popped up in the bottom left corner of the screen:
"Module Card detected. Activate?"
"Yes/No"
This thing is called a Module Card?
Of course, activate it. Isn't that just pure nonsense?
Qi Xiao reached out and clicked "Yes," and the card in his hand disappeared.
"Special Module activated – Station Announcement."
"Station Announcement: Each time the Train starts, detailed information about the upcoming Station will be updated."
"This stop: Sunshine Gym (Single-person Station)"
"This Station is a gym, no danger."
"Note: Single-person Station – A Station where only one Train stops at 8 AM every morning."
Special Module? What is this? My cheat?
While Qi Xiao was pondering, the broadcast sounded:
"The Train is about to arrive at the Station. Please sit tight and hold on."
Qi Xiao clearly felt the Train slowing down, and soon after, the Train stopped.
There was a button next to the Train door that controlled its opening and closing.
It stated that the Chief himself could also control the door with voice commands.
Qi Xiao pressed the button, and the Train door opened.
Outside the door was a staircase. Qi Xiao hesitated for two seconds, and only after confirming there was no danger did he step out of the carriage.
After coming out, Qi Xiao was stunned. He had originally thought the Train was traveling in a tunnel, which was why it was pitch black outside.
But there were no tracks under this Train!
It was as if the Train had just spawned directly here.
It was too bizarre.
Qi Xiao shook his head. The urgent matter now was to explore this gym and find supplies.
After all, the Train only stopped for three hours at the moment.
There were about a dozen steps on the staircase, and at the bottom was the gym.
What greeted his eyes were various fitness equipment, all fully equipped.
It was so quiet here that you could hear a pin drop. Indeed, only Qi Xiao was here.
"Water, water, I need to find water first."
After walking through treadmills, exercise bikes, ab rollers, and various other fitness equipment, Qi Xiao arrived at the restroom.
He eagerly turned on the faucet, but there was no water.
The women's restroom was the same; all the faucets had no water.
Qi Xiao even checked the toilet tanks; they were also dry.
Coming out of the restroom, Qi Xiao saw the front desk diagonally opposite, with a red cabinet standing next to it.
Qi Xiao walked towards the front desk with a nervous heart.
It was a vending machine!
Qi Xiao rushed to the vending machine and saw mineral water, soda water, electrolyte water, and lemon-flavored sparkling water neatly arranged inside.
Gulp.
Qi Xiao unconsciously swallowed, then went back to the gym area and picked up a small dumbbell.
With a "crack," the glass of the vending machine was directly smashed by Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao dropped the dumbbell, carefully avoided the broken glass on the ground, reached in, took out a bottle of soda water, twisted open the cap, and drank it all down.
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
Ah, refreshing!
Qi Xiao drank two 400ml bottles of soda water. After recovering, he took out all the remaining water.
Four types of water, ten bottles of each.
Qi Xiao had drunk two bottles of soda water, leaving eight bottles.
Qi Xiao carried all this water back to the carriage, including the two empty soda water bottles.
Looking at the water, Qi Xiao immediately felt a sense of security.
Thirty-eight bottles of water, very good, the water problem was temporarily solved.
Qi Xiao rested for a moment, then entered the gym again.
Although this gym was large, it had no entrances or exits whatsoever; it was completely an independent, enclosed space.
Only that staircase connected it to the Train.
