Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 37 The Explorer's Journal
Looking at the message from the magical girl, Jiang Ran sighed, which could be considered as resolving her doubts from her previous life.

No wonder that despite having weapons and a cautious magical girl, they couldn't even get through the first dungeon.

They actually fell at the very end.

Without a doubt, she must have been tricked out of that ejection card in her previous life.

Judging from the magical girl's description, this ejection card was clearly meant to allow two people to escape together. However, her boyfriend, wanting to be absolutely certain, chose to use her as a stepping stone.

It's safe to say that such stories happen every day in every corner of the instance, so it's not surprising.

Friends, lovers, relatives... the closer the relationship, the greater the damage caused by betrayal. Even if you don't fall into those cruel traps, it can still feel like you've died again.

Fortunately, judging from the current state of magical girl dance, it seems they are slowly recovering.

Even though Jiang Ran didn't intend to be friends with her, she was still happy that she had changed the ending of her previous life.

The young lady in black stockings: "Congratulations on your rebirth."

Mahou Shaojiu didn't reply to the message for a long time.

Just when Jiang Ran thought the conversation was over, Mahou Shaojiu suddenly sent a long message.

Magical Girl: "Miss, do you have any plans to build your own faction? Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to curry favor with you. I know you don't lack weapons and supplies, but some materials can only be obtained by opening chests."

"And I happen to have a skill that allows me to more accurately target what I want. I hope to cooperate with you. If you are missing any materials, such as crafting table fragments, you can tell me, and I will try to get them."

"In exchange, I hope to establish a long-term and stable business relationship with you. I think that acquiring some materials may not be suitable for such a high-profile approach, and I can become your most reliable trading partner."

"If you're willing, I can show you my sincerity."

Looking at the magical girl's "targeted wish" skill, Jiang Ran was indeed somewhat tempted.

The young lady in black stockings: "What sincerity?"

Magical Girl Soju: "[Image]".

The image is a screenshot of a skill description.

[Skill. Echo of Strong Luck (Rank A): Can only be used before opening a chest. There is a certain chance to obtain the item or material that the player currently desires most (Cooldown: 24 hours).]

Jiang Ran's eyes widened in surprise. There were actually items like this? There really wasn't just one lucky player in the game!
No wonder the magical girl group was willing to exchange guns for supplies without hesitation; it turns out they weren't worried about not being able to get them later.

The reason this skill is only rated A is most likely because the "certain probability" is not very controllable, and the cooldown time is not short.

However, it's a kind of balance. If you could get whatever you wanted, you wouldn't call it "strong luck" or "wish fulfillment."

But judging from how confident the magical girl is, the probability shouldn't be too low.

It's hard to say whether the all-encompassing Oo like the Little Spinning Top is better, or the more targeted Oo like the Magical Girl is more practical, so Jiang Ran said: I want them all!

As long as she can use everything, she will be the luckiest player in the entire game!

The young lady in black stockings: "That's interesting. You can ask me directly if you need anything in the future. If you get any materials you've never seen before, like rare ores, just call me anytime. I'll also buy any extra crafting table fragments."

Magical Girl Salmon: "No problem! Happy to do business with you!"

The young lady in black stockings: "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Jiang Ran also casually sent two boxes of self-heating hot pot to the magical girl: "The crafting table fragments from earlier didn't cost you anything. I don't lack supplies. The longer you live, the more useful you will be to me."

She originally wanted the magical girl to keep an eye out for Yu-Yu ...

When Mahou Shōjū received this self-heating hot pot, which was worth at least 60 lives, even though he tried to tilt his head back, his eyes still felt hot.

The limbs, which were originally stiff from the cold, seemed to feel the warmth coming from the heart.

She didn't mince words; after accepting the self-heating hot pot, she sent Jiang Ran three crying emojis.

After being betrayed by her boyfriend, she felt kindness from a stranger online. This contrast is hard not to be moved by.

Jiang Ran looked at the crafting table in her backpack, which was only one-third of the original fragments away from being complete, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Xiao Bai stood quietly beside Jiang Ran, intently watching her conversation with the magical girl, as if she were studying.

"Alright, it's time to check out today's results! Let's open the box!"

Jiang Ran gave Xiaobai an iron rod, indicating that he should open the wooden crates. The wooden crates weren't particularly dangerous, and even if they were, Xiaobai should be able to handle them.

She rubbed her hands together, then eagerly opened the golden chest.

[Congratulations to the player who has obtained Explorer's Journal (Fragmented) *1!]

what is this?
Jiang Ran took out the antique-style handbook from the box with some doubt.

The cover of the journal is simple, with only one sentence at the bottom: We never knew the true nature of the world.

Upon seeing this line of text, Jiang Ran's expression immediately turned serious.

She quickly flipped open the journal, and her pupils contracted when she saw the contents of the first page!
On the pages of the book, made of sheepskin, was a simple yet familiar train drawn with charcoal!

Below the train, in hasty handwriting: They told me the train's destination was heaven. But clearly, we are all already in hell.

"who are they?
Jiang Ran frowned, staring intently at the line of text.

Is this so-called explorer also a player? Could this notebook point to the truth about the Doomsday Train?

For some reason, the golden ant she encountered in the first instance and the Paro Island it mentioned flashed into her mind.

Paro Island... does that mean Paradise Island?

Jiang Ran's thoughts were somewhat confused, and she unconsciously turned to the next page.

The contents of this page are much more disorganized, with countless new and old traces intertwined.

Against a backdrop of dark, indistinct shapes, numerous different scenes were hastily sketched. Because many scenes overlapped, Jiang Ran could only barely discern what was depicted by careful observation.

Rocks and ants, snow-capped mountains and villages, deserts, high altitudes and deep seas, and even a scene where countless strange yet translucent creatures are looking up and grinning.

Jiang Ran felt a chill run down her spine. Were these the dungeons they would have to go through later?
She couldn't wait to find out what else was drawn on the back of the journal.

But she flipped over and missed.

Paro Island, paradise.
