The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

Su Yuan then opened the chat channel and, sure enough, saw a pinned message in bold red.

[Announcement: All players who leave the third station will be automatically directed to the "Eternal City" at the next station.]

[After leaving the Eternal City, players traveling on trains at speeds below 30 kilometers per hour will be in danger.]

Best of luck to you all.

May you all live long and prosper.

In the Eternal City, money can buy everything you want, but vice versa; some may even lose their lives due to conflicts of interest.

Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not abandon your identity as pioneers.

"The Eternal City?" Su Yuan looked at the announcement and then at the next stop information displayed on his dashboard. "If I'm not mistaken, this so-called 'Eternal City' should be 'Terra City' on my route map."

He possessed the platform forecaster, which gave him a crucial advantage over all other players—the true name of that mysterious city.

However, the information revealed in this announcement is not limited to this.

First of all, this is a mandatory site that all players must visit.

Secondly, it seems to be a special area that is not affected by the black mist. However, there are actually quite a few such special areas, but there is a prerequisite: at least the protection of a god.

Therefore, behind every eternal city stands at least one living god.

Su Yuan felt a chill run down his spine upon catching this crucial piece of information.

He did indeed interact with gods, such as the mad god Azik, who was probably one of the gods with relatively weak foundations, while the sea god and the eyeball god were in a stronger category.

As for the god who built the Eternal City, well, if I can't figure it out, I won't bother. It's not something I can deal with right now.

Su Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"As for the idea that money can buy everything..."

He subconsciously opened the item description for the train coin.

[Item Information: Train Coins, the most common and widely used currency in the world, rare yet not rare, despised by everyone, yet indispensable to everyone.]

It seems that the 180-plus coins I have will come in very handy when I get there.

As for the warning at the end of the announcement, "Do not give up your pioneer identity," Su Yuan sensed something unusual.

"The water there is very deep."

Just as Su Yuan was pondering, the public chat channel below had completely erupted in chaos.

The number of online users has dropped again without us even noticing; it seems some unlucky souls have already perished in the attacks on the way.

[Public Chat Room No. 5481, Online Users: 2797/5000]

[Holy crap! The Eternal City? What kind of place is that? It sounds amazing! Does that mean we won't have to live in fear anymore, being chased by the black mist?]

[Don't dream about it, upstairs! Didn't you see the notice saying that driving below 30 km/h after leaving is dangerous? This is clearly a transfer station, a place to make you spend money!]

[Spend money? I'm barely able to afford food, what am I supposed to spend money on? My life?]

[You know what, it's actually quite possible! 'Money can buy everything,' which, conversely, means 'everything can be exchanged for money,' right? Do you think someone might be selling...selling organs there?]

[Ouch...don't scare me! I don't want to get my kidneys cut!]

[What's there to be afraid of! Since we're already here, let's make the best of it! If it's called the 'Eternal City,' it must have its rules. It's not like players will be slaughtered the moment they enter; there's at least some order. Let's just be careful.]

"Easy for you to say! Even in our pre-transmigration society, which was governed by law, there were so many scams and swindles. Coming to this godforsaken place, we'd be ripped off, wouldn't we? I feel like this Eternal City is just a giant money pit, specifically designed to fleece us poor leeks!"

I don't want to take any more risks... If I could, I'd love to stay in the Eternal City forever, even if it meant working for someone else my whole life, just to live a peaceful life...

[Hey bro upstairs, have you thought this through? The announcement specifically warned us not to give up our 'pioneer' status—there's definitely a deeper meaning to that! Once we abandon the train, we might never be able to come back!]

[Back to the adventure? Back to being chased by monsters and swallowed by the black mist? I've had enough of this precarious existence!]

The chat channel erupted in chaos, with players discussing the matter at length. Clearly, not everyone possessed Su Yuan's strength; most faced the reality that they could be sitting safely on the train one second, only to be attacked and killed the next.

Stopping at the platform means you're at the mercy of fate and luck. If you're lucky, there's not much danger, and you might even be able to collect some supplies. But if you're unlucky, you're really doomed.

Take, for example, those two people on the previous platform.

Su Yuan even saw several messages recruiting members and forming guilds.

[Buying Train Coins in bulk! I have plenty of food, water, and basic materials. DM me if interested! Also, our 'Starry Night Guild' is recruiting, sincerely inviting experts from all walks of life to join us and plan great things together! Our guild leader is a highly talented player who has already soloed two-star monsters, guaranteeing his strength.]

"Guild?" Su Yuan saw the message and just curled his lip in disdain.

In a world where even the most basic team-up function is lacking, and where suspicion and distrust permeate the relationships between people, forming a guild? It's a joke.

We've all just met by chance, why should we trust you? Just because of your vague title of "President"? Or those pitiful "benefits"?

Su Yuan had absolutely no interest in an organization of this caliber.

It's only now, at the third stop, that it's starting to take shape, and it's only managed to capitalize on some players' fears.

He turned off the chat channel and stopped paying attention to the noise.

If there really are any guilds, they're in Eternal City; only a fool would join one now.

Others' paths are their own choices.

Su Yuan's path, from beginning to end, has only one direction—to continuously become stronger! Strong enough to crush all rules and ignore all dangers!

Su Yuan turned off the chat channel, ignoring all the noise and chatter.

"There are still more than four hours until we reach the fork in the road. We have plenty of time. If I speed up the train, we will arrive even faster, but then it will be difficult to collect the flesh and blood."

Su Yuan glanced at the countdown timer on the dashboard and made up his mind.

I'll definitely go take a look at that "Black Swan Lake." Who knows, maybe I'll find something unexpected?

However, before that, he had something more important to do.

Su Yuan then took an item from the train's storage compartment.

[Interstellar Special Forces Training Vehicle Expansion Capsule]

"You are the one!"

Excitement gleamed in Su Yuan's eyes.

This thing is the key to enabling him to take his skills to the next level!

He walked to the back of the train, where a brand-new empty carriage was automatically generated after the upgrade to a Class III train, where many infrastructure facilities could be added.

This is why the expansion capsule can only be used after reaching level three.

The interior of the carriage was empty, and the walls and floor were made of dark green plant fibers that felt soft underfoot and carried a faint scent of grass and trees.

It has no current use; its only purpose, or rather, it provides an extra column of space.

Su Yuan then began his operation.
