On February 1, near dusk, the Pacific Ocean north of the equator.

A swarthy steam train departs from an unknown island, and with the roar of its engine, it crosses the island's border and heads straight into the tracks built above the sea.

Under the sun's rays, the sea sparkles with a halo of turquoise and golden, like a road of coloured silks, and the train rushes by, regardless of the surrounding scenery.

Soon, inside the No. 9 carriage of the train, five figures gradually appeared.

Anson Deer was the first to enter the dungeon, followed by Yurui, Yurihara, Uesugi Asuka, and Chu Qimo.

At this moment, all the windows of the carriage are open, the sea breeze of the Pacific Ocean is blowing, and you can smell the cold smell of the tide, but the temperature of the carriage is very comfortable, as if the heating is on.

"Hey, it's really not a copy of the underworld." Asugi Uesugi looked around and said with satisfaction.

If Anson Deer chooses a copy similar to 'Dark Disneyland 2' at this time, maybe Asuka will really turn into a red dragon and spray him to death in one breath.

"Actually, I can't find a more terrifying copy." Anson Deer told the truth.

"Get out."

"The sea train is really a magical setting." Urushihara moved his dark eyes and looked out the window.

Standing above the sea, the old track seems to be endless, stretching all the way to the horizon as far as the eye can see, and the wheels of the train cut through the tide and set off white waves.

"Looks like we're going to have to spend some time at sea." Chu Qimo unloaded the sword bag on his shoulder.

"Yes, I don't know how long, the end of the quest is Hawaii Island."

Anson Deer said as he leaned closer to the window and leaned out, his hair tousled by the sea breeze.

The sea is like a mirror, reflecting the turquoise sky, the clouds flow leisurely on the emerald sea, and the white canvas flag on the top of the train hunts and dances in the wind.

If it weren't for the train still running in the sea, Anson Deer might not be able to tell which side is the sea and which side is the sky.

The strange chirpings of sea creatures coincide with each other, as if playing a light and long symphony, which is pleasant to the ear, but you can also feel the immeasurable depth of the sea and the horror of its own insignificance.

However, the cool sea breeze soothed the restlessness.

The so-called sound of heaven is nothing more than that, but from time to time the roar of some giant thing coming out of the deep sea breaks the silence and comfort of this realm.

Asugi Uesugi was leaning against the car window, and as soon as she poked her head out, she couldn't help but hear this cold loud noise, her slender shoulders trembled slightly, and her whole back trembled.

Anson Lu's reaction was very calm, and he didn't forget to cast a disdainful glance at her.

"Well, I think." He said, "Anyone can play a horror game regardless of the horror of a copy of horror, just like someone can scare the screen into smashing a CSGO biochemical mode." ”

"Shut up." Asuka gave her a cold look.

"Yes." Anson Deer was quick to scare.

Time passed quickly, and the time when he entered the dungeon was obviously 12 noon, but after arriving at the dungeon, the sky quickly darkened, and the sun gradually sank below the horizon.

Anson Lu raised his eyebrows: "The speed of time passage in this copy seems to be very fast?" ”

Qi Yuanlu glanced at his phone, confirmed the current time, and said slowly:

"No, Lu-kun, time passes at the same speed as the outside world, but in the process of loading the copy, our consciousness is in a state of nothingness for four hours—so, it's already five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, I see." Anson Lu suddenly realized.

He said, why did he just enter this dungeon, and the time jumped directly from noon to dusk, even if the time in the dungeon passed fast, it was impossible to move forward at this speed, right?

There was only one possibility, and they spent a full five hours reading the copy.

Speaking of which...... Is there snow on Hawaii Island? Probably can, right?

Thinking of this, Anson Deer turned his head and looked at the Icelandic girl who was leaning against the window.

At this moment, the train was speeding above the boundless sea, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window on Yuri's face, and the rumbling engine sounded in his ears.

The sea breeze blew, and the girl's pale white hair drifted away with the wind, as if dyed golden yellow by the sun ring in the sky.

"The sea is so beautiful."

Yuri whispered.

Her clear eyes, reflecting the vast expanse of the sea, had never been so bright and clear, like the eyes of a teenage girl.

Anson Lu quietly stared at her side face and didn't make a sound.

After all, this may be her first time at sea - after the age of nine, before the age of seventeen, the space that this Icelandic girl can move in every day is only the official hospital room and the stage built by capital.

Every day when she was flipping through a book in that ward, she should have also thought, what is the sea like?

Watching the fireworks with them in Hokkaido, looking at the sea castle that carried the remains of the ghost general, gradually sinking into the sea, did she also think about what the middle of the sea was like? I'd love to see it for myself.

Soon, the system prompt sounded in the ears of the five people, interrupting Anson Lu's thoughts.

[Five crew members have been detected to have entered car 9 of the "Rescue" train, which is about to start the first part of the replica: the Dead Sea.] 】

[Goal: Protect the train and reach Hawaii Island safely; End time: 3 days. 】

"The first part will take three days." Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Depending on the situation, this copy will take at least five or six days to finish." ”

"Have you arrived at Hawaii Island safely?" Ritsu Ushihara laughed and said unhurriedly:

In other words, there will be some danger in the Pacific Ocean for the next three days. And we have to not only keep ourselves safe, but also protect the train from sabotage. ”

Chu Qimo listened to the roar of the beast from the deep sea, and said expressionlessly:

"Sounds like a lot of difficulty."

"Of course, you have to choose one that is not low, otherwise it will be in vain." Urushihara smiled.

"That's right." Chu Qimo said, "If we choose some copies with fewer resources, then we will be caught up by the law enforcement team sooner or later." ”

"After all, the law enforcement team is backed by the government and enjoys a lot of resources." "In other words, if it weren't for the fact that the Evolution Coin Mall didn't have items that boost experience points, they would definitely be able to level up faster than us. ”

At present, there are only two sequences that have been confirmed to rely heavily on Evolution Coin to increase their combat power - Cyber Attack and Old Chess Player.

However, in order to develop new sequence skills, Cyber Giants need "tech points" - tech points must be raised to a certain level to obtain, and have nothing to do with evolution coins.

However, there are many things that Cosimo can do with Evolution Coins, such as strengthening the prosthetic's health, durability, defense stats, and more......

Moreover, there is almost no upper limit - that is, as long as he invests in Evolution Coins, he can become infinitely stronger.

Since he is backed by the official, it is an extremely easy thing for him to obtain the Evolution Coins.

However, with Cosimo's personality, he would not like to be officially scraped from other players and handed them over to him.

After all, other players also absolutely need evolution coins to improve their combat power, which will directly determine their own life and death, and subsequent development space.

If the state official blatantly collects the coins from the hands of ordinary players and aggregates them into the hands of sequence players, it is undoubtedly directly depriving these ordinary players of their right to live.

This is contrary to Cosimo's values - it is precisely because of all kinds of self-restraint that there is clearly a career sequence with super high potential, Cosimo still pulls his hips into the way he is now.

But if one day he suddenly figured it out and was willing to accept the evolution coin resources given by the official, then the strength of this little kid could definitely improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and it would not be surprising that he would even surpass Lorenzo.

There is a lot of debate on the Internet about similar issues: some netizens believe that resources should be pooled into the hands of the top players.

After all, Evolution Coin is not very useful in the hands of those low-level players - if you raise a person with combat power 1 to combat power 200, he may still be cannon fodder, and it is not as useful as raising a person with combat power 1000 to 1100.

Therefore, many netizens believe that if the old chess players can be pulled into the law enforcement team and given more evolution coin resources to the old chess players, they will definitely be able to make the world's No. 1 strength to a higher level.

This is also the confusion that most people have about Anson Deer not joining the law enforcement team?

Obviously, as long as you join the law enforcement team, you can enjoy official resources from all over the world, but Anson Lu chose to go alone, and even opened a union by himself.

But in the same way, there are many people who support this approach, saying that it is completely against humanitarianism, how can it deprive the bottom players of their right to survive and take resources from their hands?

Despite this, the state still does not prohibit this practice on the surface, but they will not do it themselves, but quietly wait for those vulnerable players to take the initiative to hand in Evolution Coins.

If there are players who can't bear the pressure and choose to give up struggling, then these players can put Evolution Coins in the hands of the Evolution Foundation, adding a point to the possibility of the world being saved.

In addition, as ridiculous as it sounds, many destitute players will choose to use "Evolution Coins" to pay for various living expenses during the holidays - food, housing, shopping, etc.

This kind of evolution coin, which is handed over to the hands of state enterprises, will eventually be paid to the state in the end, regardless of any channel, and the mandatory is similar to the fulfillment of tax obligations.

However, the state will also use the corresponding amount of RMB as compensation, and for those citizens who have not participated in the evolution game, since they do not need the evolution coins, it is better to hand over the evolution coins obtained from the players.

Anyway, in the sequence information currently released by the Evolution Foundation, most of the career sequences are limited in the height that can be achieved with Evolution Coin - for example, if you buy an item in the mall once, you can't buy it again, and there is a limit.

For ordinary class sequences, they need more levels than evolution coins - for them: as long as you push dungeons step by step, there will always be no shortage of evolution coins, which are more than enough to purchase limited sequence items in the mall.

However, "Old Chess Player" and "Cyber Strike" are two extreme outliers, and it is unimaginable that these two sequences can reach heights as long as you have enough Evolution Coins.

Because of this, people are puzzled by Cosimo and Anson Deer, any of them, as long as they have their backs to the authorities and use the resources of the law enforcement team, can definitely grow into a monster.

However, Anson Lu did not join the official; Cosimo, on the other hand, is completely unwilling to accept the evolution coin resources obtained from the bottom players, so the official can't force him.

In addition to this, there are also sequences with special mechanics - they do not require evolution coins, nor levels, but require another specific object.

For example: Pope of the Bell, The Hand of Devouring.

Lorenzo absorbs emotions from humans or monsters to derive sequence skills; By killing and devouring monsters, Juliu can spawn sequence abilities, and can even briefly steal the skills of other sequence players.

To get back to the point, the five of them at the Helllighthouse explored the train and got some basic information - the "Rescue Train" had a total of 20 cars, each with a crew (NPC).

Among them, car number 9 is the 'birthpoint' of this replica and a resting place for the flight attendants.

As for the rest of the carriages, they are strange, and can be described by the words "a hundred flowers bloom": there are food carriages and theater carriages in front; There are gambling cars, aquarium cars, and library cars;

Among them, the most rebellious are the magical existence of video game cars, aquarium cars, garden cars and so on.

When the five of them entered the dungeon, it was already dusk, and after shopping through all the carriages on the train, they returned to car 9, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it was getting dark.

The night is like a curtain, enveloping the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, dyeing the turquoise tide black, and at the same time, like dominoes that have been knocked down, each carriage of the train gradually brightens up.

"Let me guess somebody's going to sneak into the gambling compartment at night." Anson Deer looked at the crow and spread his hands and said.

"No, Lu-kun, although I'm interested in what level the NPCs there can reach, if nothing else, the danger must be coming soon." The corners of the mouth are hooked.

Chu Qimo looked out the window, the train was still running on the endless track, "Yes, from just now, the sound of the beast's roar was even more obvious, coming from the bottom of the sea. ”

Under the night moon, brightly lit trains rumbled to the other side of the horizon, the sea rose and fell, and the tide became more and more violent, as if a raging beast lurked beneath this gray and black ocean.

They are menacing, coveting this awe-inspiring train.

Uesugi Asuka just got out of the aquarium car, she hugged her elbows and looked at the three people with solemn faces: "So, what the hell are we going to do, this task is to let us go on vacation on the train?" ”

At this moment, Yuri opened his eyes, and his emotionless voice reminded:

"Here we are."

"Bang !!"

In the next moment, the sea to the right of the orbit suddenly cracked, and the black waves swept over the sky, and the deafening loud sound seemed to be about to drown the whole world.

In the light of the moon, the astonishing beast slowly appeared, roaring at the brightly lit train, a huge crimson whale with a body of more than thirty feet long.

[Monster Name: Red Whale]

[Monster Level: Lv.22]

[Monster Kill Rewards: A large number of evolution coins, a large number of materials, unknown rewards. 】

"It's coming." Anson Lu raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, "Then we have to treat it well." ”

Thank you very much for your commuter pass!

Modified a typographical place, Captain Longfan's strength value is 60, not 70, and now I find out that the mistake is so outrageous.
