My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 7 The Players and the Ambition of the Blazing Fire
Two days later, at Beijing Station.

Woo——!
A long, clear whistle pierced the morning mist.

The dark green K3 international train, like a giant steel dragon, lies quietly on the platform.

The mottled paint and huge national emblem on the car tell a story of its vicissitudes and mission.

The platform was bustling with people, some seeing off, some saying goodbye, all sorts of people, it was quite lively.

But suddenly, the crowd fell silent for a brief moment.

Everyone's attention was drawn to a few figures.

This group of people carried large bags and small packages, each person carrying two or three huge woven bags and suitcases that were almost taller than a person and were stuffed tightly, and they moved with difficulty through the crowd.

The burly man at the very front was almost two meters tall.

Like a mountain, he carried two woven bags, each stuffed full, in his left and right hands.

Behind him was a lean young man with dark skin, making him easily recognizable.

He was carrying a woven bag on each side.

Behind these two people was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties.

Although he looked rather old, he was full of energy and his eagle eyes were alertly watching his surroundings.

He carried a heavy nylon bag on his back, clearly indicating its substantial weight.

At the very back was a robust man, 1.78 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, neither too thin nor too fat, and a handsome and resolute appearance.

He was carrying two bags.

Beside him stood a short, thin young man, pulling a large suitcase and following respectfully, constantly whispering something.

Such a combination stands out conspicuously on this huge platform.

"Brother Yuan, don't worry! I'll take care of things at home!"

“I’ve already paid those Cantonese guys the full amount, and the contracts are signed. It’s all written down in black and white with red fingerprints, clearly stating twenty days! I’ll risk my life to make sure they wait the full twenty days!”

Ma Gan'er was well aware of the importance of these southerners, and he patted his chest to vouch for them.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Ma Gan'er's fearless expression.

He reached out and patted Ma Gan'er's thin but taut shoulder heavily, the force weighty: "Your life is far more important than you think. Protecting the home and keeping an eye on the goods is a great achievement. When we return, you'll be rewarded for your contributions."

"Yes, Brother Yuan!" Ma Gan'er nodded vigorously, his eyes slightly red.

Qin Yuan said no more, his gaze sweeping over the mountain-like Da Binzi, the sharp and vigilant Gangzi, and the eagle-like Old Zhang.

He took a deep breath; the air was filled with the smells of coal smoke, sweat, and farewell.

"Let's go!" he said in a low voice, which was not loud but clearly reached the ears of the three people.

He bent down and picked up two huge woven bags at his feet, stuffed almost to bursting open. Their heavy weight seemed to be a manifestation of his ambition at that moment.

He strode forward, following the path opened by Da Binzi, towards the dark green steel dragon—the entrance to the hard sleeper carriage of train K3.

Just as his left foot touched the cold, oil-stained train step, and his entire body disappeared into the shadows of the carriage—

【Ding! 】

A crisp, cold, emotionless yet incredibly clear electronic notification sound exploded in the depths of his mind without warning!
[Key milestone triggered: Boarding the "K3" international train, officially embarking on the career path of an "international trader"!]

[New player protection; career paths are currently hidden (can be enabled)]

[Achievement Completed: First Steps on the Golden Path!]

[Achievement Points Earned: 200!] [Wealth Ranking Calculation in Progress... Comprehensive Assessment: Initial Assets, Risk Factor, Potential Profit Margin, Path Scarcity...]

[Wealth Ranking Update: Current Rank: 9800! (Up 200 places)]

Om-!
Qin Yuan felt a jolt of electricity surge through his body, his steps faltered, and he almost fell over by the heavy luggage!
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his usual composure was instantly replaced by immense astonishment!

what's the situation? !

This damn "game"... turns out it's not just about looking at money?
The path you choose, the profession you pursue... can directly affect your ranking and so-called "achievement points"?!

International reseller route... 200 achievement points... jump 200 places in the rankings?!

I wonder what paths other players chose and what professions they pursued?
With a thought, he opened the [Wealth Ranking].

With eyes like knives, he rapidly scanned upwards from the 9800th position on the wealth list, as if climbing a ladder to heaven!
He keenly observed the composition of the names on the leaderboard:

Some are random numbers, some are simply named after regions, and a very few even seem to boldly or foolishly use the character's real name.

Most notably, the top ten players are the most outstanding!
Without exception, all those with regional attributes are concentrated in the three core metropolitan areas of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou!
To his surprise, he subconsciously wanted to click on the detailed information of a player who was also in the "Yanjing" category, especially to check the other person's career path and category tags.

result--

This player has hidden all character role tags.

This player has hidden all character role tags.

Sure enough, these kinds of secrets involving oneself are all hidden by everyone except for some newbies and arrogant people.

After all, the higher a player is, the more attention they attract, and nobody wants to be invisible all the time!
Allows all potential enemies, envious individuals, and trackers to pinpoint their location and trajectory on the map at any time!

For players, this is the Dark Forest!
Revealing your location is tantamount to suicide!
Only now did Qin Yuan truly accept this fact.

This is a game!

I'm in a game world, not reborn, but transmigrated!

"Brother Yuan?! What are you spacing out for?! Come in quickly! The train conductor is blowing the whistle to close the doors!" Gangzi's anxious voice rang in his ears, and he pulled Qin Yuan hard at the same time.

Qin Yuan suddenly woke up!

"coming!"

His mindset has completely calmed down.

He responded.

Using Gangzi's dragging force, he exerted his strength, his other hand still tightly gripping the heavy luggage bag, his body like a taut bowstring, and took a sudden step forward!
He completely stepped into the train car, carrying himself and his heavy luggage that almost dragged him down!
"Bang!"

Gangzi and Dabin stuffed the heavy luggage under the bed.

"Woo——!!!"

Just as Qin Yuan lay down on the middle berth of the hard sleeper, another, even higher-pitched and more penetrating whistle blared, like a bugle call announcing the start of the journey!

Then, "Clang! Clang! Clang..."

The wheels began to strike the cold rails powerfully and rhythmically, the sound gradually increasing in speed and intensity, causing the entire massive steel carriage to vibrate slightly.

The platform outside the window, the crowds seeing people off, the familiar silhouette of Yanjing Station...

It began to recede slowly, then accelerated, becoming increasingly blurry.

International train K3 spewed thick smoke as its wheels clanged.

Without hesitation, it roared northward, towards Moscow!
