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

[Free America, gunfights every day: Holy crap! One second! How could our Bill be killed so easily?!]

[The stern rancher: What's the panic? He's not really dead! His body's just frozen solid. With that Picasso-Lin's "talent," Bill won't die!]

[Applying for UNESCO World Heritage status is a specialty of South Korea: Ugh! How did Oppa get so easily defeated? Is that monster Pikachu? Is he...is he coming back for revenge?]

[Peppa Pig: How are you supposed to fight this? I've been to Northeast China where it's minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius. You can still go out in a fur coat! But if you go out in short sleeves, you'll get frostbite in no time!]

Moreover, freezing instantly? That would be -70 or -80 degrees Celsius! In that situation, the human body simply couldn't move! Wouldn't that make you a perfect target for that monster?

[It's over! The monster is coming towards Anlan!]

An Lan doesn't have any "talent"!!!

[Hahaha—this kid is finally going to die! I knew it, how could this guy from the Dragon Kingdom survive to the end without talent?!]

【...】

"ha--"

Just as the live stream chat was buzzing with activity, An Lan felt a chill on his head, countless frost spots appearing on his hair. His forehead was covered in frost, and it looked as if his face was about to freeze to death...

An Lan looked at the brightly lit [Skill] panel in front of her, and was about to hesitate whether to activate it...

"Clatter..."

The snow melted in the breast pocket, revealing a small bag!

"What?!"

An Lan was somewhat surprised!

My whole body was frozen, but there was a burning heat in my chest that began to melt away the icy cold!

Looking down, I saw a small bag there stuffed full of chili peppers?

"what?"

"How did I end up with chili peppers on me?"

"ha----"

A dark, deep-set face suddenly loomed close to An Lan's face. "Pikaslin" opened its mouth wide, and a surge of freezing air was about to rush towards An Lan's face!

Holy crap!

Without thinking too much, An Lan lowered her head and shoved the chili pepper into her chest pocket, then quickly swallowed a mouthful of it!

"Hiss! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

In an instant!

Like the intense heat of a volcanic eruption, it shot straight to my head, and my whole body was filled with a surge of heat!

"Click click click—"

The ice on the seat began to melt due to the heat, and "Pikachulin" sprayed freezing air into An Lan's face. But he didn't dodge or flinch; his face flushed red, and he even showed a hint of relief under the icy air!

"Okay, okay!"

"Good timing!"

"Bang!!!"

A punch landed squarely on Pikachu's head, causing Pikachu, who was hanging upside down in mid-air, to sway violently before crashing into a chair in the corner!

The train is about to exit the tunnel... The train is about to exit the tunnel...

Attention! Attention!

The LED lights on the carriage started flashing again.

An Lan hurriedly stood up, panting, and walked towards the door at the end of the carriage.

He noticed!

Although the train car was covered in ice and snow, Sandy stood still in the passageway leading to the next car, surrounded by an unusual calm, as if she had not been affected at all!

"So..."

"Can you only affect this section of the train car?"

"Ta-da!"

With her feet firmly planted on the frozen ground, An Lan was about to rush to the car door when the sound of footsteps came again! The figure of "Pikachulin" had suddenly climbed onto the car door and opened its mouth to breathe on it!

"ha!!!"

The biting cold air seemed to be freezing the train doors solid. An Lan looked at the warning on the LED screen: [Attention! The train is about to leave the tunnel! Please be aware...]

I had a strange, bad feeling about me.

An Lan couldn't handle this thing, but... there were still people in the carriage!

"Hey! Menloka!"

"Can you kill this thing in one minute? I mean, using your [talent]!"

His gaze fell on Menloka in the corner, a smirk playing on his lips: "If I could move! With equal physical abilities, I'd beat him to a pulp in 30 seconds!!!"

"good!"

"Open your mouth!"

Anlan grabbed a handful of chili peppers from the bag and threw them at Menloka!

"An Lan! What's this?"

Never mind that! Eat!

"oh--"

"Ugh! Ugh!"

"Holy crap! So spicy! So spicy!!!"

After heavy breathing came from behind, Menloka's tall figure rose from the melting ice water: "Just you wait and see! [Gold]... [Hero]!!!"

"Buzz—"

Inside the pitch-black carriage, a sudden golden light flashed, and Menloka and "Pikaslin," who was clinging to the carriage door, vanished at the same time!

"Bang bang bang!"

After the other person disappeared, An Lan kicked the carriage door repeatedly!

The thick ice layer showed no signs of thinning; instead, light gradually appeared outside the car window!

The train is about to exit the tunnel!

For some reason... An Lan felt increasingly nervous!

"Clang—"

"Clang—"

As the first ray of light shone in from outside the tunnel, An Lan's pupils contracted, and she finally realized where this strange feeling came from!

Just outside the door, at the junction of the carriages, Sandy's feet, one half of a normally functioning metal carriage... was derailing from the other half, which was frozen solid!

Yes!

For some reason, this section of the train car in Anlan has turned into ice! As the ice water continues to melt after exiting the tunnel, it will be completely disconnected from the carriages in front!

"No wonder! No wonder that guy... was blocking the car door!"

"Once we exit the tunnel and the temperature drops, our section of the train will be completely on the tracks..."

"Damn it! This guy's trying to drag us down with him!!!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After another series of powerful kicks at the thick ice, An Lan still couldn't break through it. He was somewhat helpless and looked at the brightly lit [Skill Interface] in front of him.

"If all else fails..."

"The only option left is to activate the [Perfect Timeline]... Going back to before the door was blocked should still offer a chance..."

Just as I was pondering this, a voice suddenly rang out behind me: "Hey! Get out of my seat, I'll kick the door open for you! You...you probably don't want everyone to die like this, right?"

"Um?!"

Turning his head, he saw that Mikarin was looking at him with a teasing expression.

"you..."

After hesitating for a moment, An Lan walked up to Mekalin. The other woman's face was already frozen, and she could only force a smile: "Hurry up! Feed me! Feed me..."

"..."

Without a word, An Lan roughly shoved chili peppers into Mekalin's mouth, one after another! Mekalin's face flushed even more, and she gave An Lan a complicated look...

[Mikarin's affection for you +30!]

[Current favorability level: 50!]

"ha?!"

An Lan was stunned!

What the hell?

Although the system doesn't appreciate Mikarin's looks at all, her favorability rating is still there! She was only fed a few chili peppers; is it really necessary to love herself this much?

"Get out of the way!"

As the ice water slowly melted from Mekalin's body, she took out a dagger from her bosom without saying a word and frantically stabbed at the ice, actually piercing a deep groove in the ice surface.

"Holy crap?"

"She's much stronger than me..."

"Could this be... the physique granted by the [S-rank talent]?"

"Clang—"

As the ice trough grew larger, Mikarin flung open the frozen carriage door and walked towards the next carriage. Sandy, who had been standing at the carriage entrance, had inexplicably vanished again...

"Walk!"

Meikalin called out to Anlan, and Anlan, without hesitation, ran towards the next carriage in a few steps!

"Clang—"

"Clang—"

Three minutes after the train exited the tunnel, the connecting layer completely broke. An Lan's original carriage derailed with a loud "bang" and its speed suddenly dropped, leaving it forever on the misty tracks!

"Clang, clang, clang—"

As they were getting further and further away from the fault-bounded carriage, a golden light flashed!

"Depend on!"

"Fight me?! Die!"

Menloka's figure suddenly flashed and appeared at the end of the broken ice layer. He stared in astonishment as the two carriages separated, and as Anlan and Mekalin stood in the distance, gradually disappearing into the distance. His face paled with panic!

"Holy crap! You guys! What are you doing...?"

"Stop talking nonsense!!"

"Quickly use your [Talent] to lock onto me and come over from this space!"

An Lan's calm voice rang out, and Menloka slapped his forehead: "Holy crap! Oh right—how come I didn't think of that?!"

"Buzz—"

The golden light flashed again, and Menloka and Anlan disappeared at the same time, appearing in a palace filled with piles of gold.

An Lan stood motionless at one end. As Menloka walked towards him, the [Golden Hero] disappeared, and the two of them suddenly appeared in front of the galloping carriage!

"Bro! That's awesome!"

"I never imagined I'd use my talent like this!"

Menloka, relieved to have survived the ordeal, patted Anlan on the shoulder. Anlan shook his head, pushed open the carriage door, and the three of them entered the new carriage!

......

Meanwhile, the live stream chat on the United Nations was already exploding with comments!

[Idol Training Camp: Holy crap! This...this isn't cheating?! So that's why Sandy gave Anlan the chili peppers! Turns out it was for this?! Holy crap!]

[Eagle's Judgment: I'm reporting! I'm reporting! Someone's using their looks to cheat! I'm not having it!]

[A Flower in the South of the City: In a sense, An Lan didn't actually cheat, right? When the train conductor was selling chili peppers, no one else seemed interested in buying them! Besides, An Lan probably spent three memory points to buy the chili peppers!]

So he couldn't answer those three questions!

As for why the train conductor kissed him so many times, that's a personal matter, isn't it?

【Wait, why do I feel like An Lan is more suited to be the team leader? Did you see that? His command just now was flawless, wasn't it?!】

[Right, right! I don't know if you guys have noticed the problem! If every time someone dies, they come back for revenge like 'Pikachu'... then does this dungeon require teamwork and no one can die?!]

[Damn! You're right, upstairs! The fewer people who die, the safer it is!]
