Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"..."

A somber atmosphere filled the conference room.

After what seemed like an eternity, An Lan broke the silence: "Alright, alright! Don't worry, at worst! With my [talent], I'll just settle down in the dungeon and never come out..."

"Oh, right..."

"Don't hesitate to use that [eerie phone call]!"

"If any problems arise, contact me immediately... I have a [skill] that can salvage some mistakes!"

That's all I wanted to say! Everyone, you can all leave now!

With a wave of her hand, An Lan, as the person directly involved, walked out of the conference room with unusual nonchalance. The outsiders, however, looked at each other, then fell silent...

......

Time flies.

After two days of wandering around, Anlan, seemingly carefree, spent another two days "strolling" around.

On the night before the [Instance] arrived, a news report delivered by the "Dragon Kingdom Official" went viral and became a trending topic.

[TOP1: With the year halfway over, based on past statistics, an SS-level dungeon is about to arrive! The countries selected this time are expected to include China, the United States, Japan, India, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Russia...]

The city selection for the instance's arrival appears to be "Anhui Province - Shan'an"...

All residents of Shan'an City have been evacuated.

Furthermore, for this instance, the nation has decided to select An Lan, a member of the "national team," as the participant!

Let's all cheer for athlete An Lan!

This news story, once released, almost overwhelmingly surpassed all other trending news, and the comment section exploded.

[Turkey-flavored rice crackers: Here we go again? A SS-rank dungeon that appears every six months? With a 5% success rate, only the United States and the Dragon Kingdom have ever cleared it once... and since then, no one has been able to pass it!]

[Kicking the cripple's good leg: Wait, where's my brother Long Ao? If Long Ao isn't in this dungeon, does that mean the country is tacitly abandoning Mountain Saddle?]

[Under the bewildered tree, you and I: Long Ao? He's still in the dungeon, he hasn't even been released yet! What can we do? We can only send out reserve members to test the waters... This An Lan, I've never even heard of him... Is he any good? Don't let him get completely crushed compared to those foreign guys!]

[A Flower in Southern Beijing: I've seen Anlan's livestream. It's not a question of whether he's good or not... he's just outrageous... you know what? He wasn't going to conquer a dungeon, he was going to seduce a female ghost!]

[666! Teasing a female ghost in a dungeon? And never died?]

[Pshaw! That's just a low-level dungeon! Try a higher-level one, and he'll still be able to skip it. I think the higher-ups are really planning to abandon this dungeon... Sigh—too bad, those foreign dogs are probably going to start barking again!]

【...】

The comments were piling up at a rate of hundreds of layers per second.

An Lan lay on the bed, idly flipping through the news, pretending not to see it.

Anyway, that's just how I approach clearing levels. Even in an SSS-level dungeon, I'll still try to seduce the female ghost! What if you say there aren't any female ghosts in the dungeons?

Who says the [Goddess Conquest System] is only for increasing the favorability of female ghosts?

"Tsk..."

"I wonder what kind of location this [dungeon] will be..."

While browsing the comments, suddenly!

Several messages caught An Lan's attention.

It was a string of English words. After updating it using the software's built-in translation, it became this paragraph.

[Living in America, gunfights every day: Wardfa? Are you kidding me, Dragon Kingdom? The other six countries all sent their 'national teams,' with at least S-level talent! You only sent a D-level talent? Are you looking for death?]

[Nodding YES, shaking NO, discovering oil, GOGOGO: I see now, China is just giving up! Fine! They're only relying on that Long Ao... Without Long Ao, what are they even competing with us for!]

These messages immediately drew a barrage of insults in the comments section.

Holy crap! A foreign dog has arrived!

【Our comments about An Lan being no good are our business, what's it to you?】

That's right, foreign dogs, get out of here!

[Hahaha—The people of China are getting anxious! They're getting anxious!]

【...】

Just as the argument was reaching a fever pitch in the comments section...

As the clock struck midnight, at the very moment "00:00" arrived, An Lan suddenly heard a notification: "Due to the [Bound Dungeon Card], you are now bound to the current dungeon [Memory Train]..."

"You will be a participant in this instance, and you will be heading to this instance..."

"Transferring..."

......

Ladies and gentlemen! This train's starting station is Twilight Station, and its final destination is Awakening Station. The train will pass through seven stations in total. If you encounter any problems during the journey, please resolve them yourself...

Enjoy your journey on the Twilight Train...

An Lan remained lying down after the sudden broadcast announcement. However, he wasn't lying on a bed, but rather on a soft chaise lounge.

He was surrounded by a metallic white corridor with bright windows on either side. Outside the windows lay an empty station platform, shrouded in mist, except for a single sign that read "Twilight Station," which flashed continuously...

"this..."

"Is this a train?"

An Lan scratched his head, and then a solemn notification sound rang out.

Welcome to this thrilling dungeon, the "SS-rank" dungeon "Memory Train".

Legend has it that only the chosen ones can board this train. But no passenger on the 'Memory Train' has ever reached the final destination... Will you be that person?

[Requirement for this instance: Survive to the final destination, the Awakening Station!]

[Number of participants in this instance: 7!]

[This instance's message: SS-rank instance, no further information provided!]

【...】

After a brief introduction to the dungeon, An Lan sat on the soft couch and suddenly felt a slight impact!

"Clang, clang, clang—"

The view of the platform outside the window suddenly began to rush forward!

Layers of mist enveloped the view outside the window, turning everything into a white blur.

At the end of the carriage, an LED indicator light illuminated: "[The train is moving at 100 km/h. The next stop, 'Past Station,' is 15 minutes away! Passengers who wish to disembark, please prepare accordingly...]"

The train carriages are very standardized, and the environment exudes a sense of tranquility.

An Lan looked around but couldn't see anything wrong for the time being.

Meanwhile, new figures began to appear on the other soft seats in the carriage.

Among them were fair-skinned, blond Americans and Japanese people wearing kimonos. After the "replica participants" from different countries looked at each other, one of the tall white men immediately stood up.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Everyone, stop hiding your secrets! For the [SS-rank dungeon], we'd better work together! You don't want your city to be raided by a [dungeon], do you?"

Let me introduce myself first!

"[Bill Rosen, Vice-Captain of the Beautiful Country National Team], [SS-Rank Talent]. You can call me Bill. I'm stepping forward to ask for your election of a leader to carry out this [Instance] operation..."

"Of course, I don't think anyone is more suitable to be this leader than me!"

Bill raised his head and glanced at the soft seats throughout the carriage.

He was clearly speaking English, but due to the bizarre distortion of the [copy], it turned into a language that could be understood by people from all countries.

Most people squinted and remained silent, but one gray-haired man with a full beard immediately jumped out: "Who do you think you are?!"

"You say you want to be a leader? You are?!"

"I'm the first one to disagree!"

"oh?!"

"What? You're not convinced?"

The gray-haired man was nearly two meters tall, strong and imposing, like a wild bear. He was clearly a Russian from the "Land of the Bears," and charged at Bill with a flushed face and an imposing aura!

Can...

"snort--"

"idiot!"

"Since you dare to come! Then let me show you what an SS-level talent user really is!"

"You think I'm afraid of you?! [Golden Hero]!!!"

"Buzz—"

As the two men wrestled, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed across the gray-haired man's body and echoed throughout the carriage. When the light faded, Bill and the gray-haired man... had both vanished from the carriage!
