Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

Is that such a coincidence?

Lu Xingyuan was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, they actually ended up at a station that Gu Wanqing had visited before.

"How are you? Are you in any danger?"

"have!"

Gu Wanqing quickly explained: "This is a platform with magical power. You will arrive at a forest, and at the end of the forest is a castle. Only by clearing out all the mushroom monsters surrounding the castle can you be invited to enter the castle."

"Inside the castle lives a group of dwarfs with different colored noses. They are friendly creatures and won't harm you."

"At this point, you will be involved in a murder case. If you help find the murderer, you will be rewarded with a level 3 treasure chest."

Holy crap, a level 3 treasure chest?!

Lu Xingyuan's eyes immediately lit up.

If the level 2 treasure chests have yielded so many good items, I can't imagine what kind of good items the level 3 treasure chests will contain.

"Did you remember?"

"I've got it."

Lu Xingyuan nodded, then asked,

"Did you get that level 3 treasure chest?"

"No, I didn't even get rid of the mushroom monsters, so I wasn't even qualified to be invited into the castle."

Lu Xingyuan stroked his chin.

Since she didn't even enter the castle, how did she know that a murder would occur and there was a level 3 treasure chest?

Wow, Sister Qing, I feel like you've been exposed.

Arrived at the station promptly at 10:00.

The prismatic ball fell.

Pick it up.

20 sets of simple circuit boards, plus 20 units of rubber.

Not bad, this way I can immediately level up to level three and unlock new Hextech gear.

After getting off the bus, just as Gu Wanqing had said, this stop was located in a forest.

Looking up, you can vaguely see the castle's spire, hidden at the edge of the forest.

Holding a submachine gun, Lu Xingyuan strode into the depths of the forest.

The environment here is nice, with lush foliage, shady grass, fresh air, and the occasional birdsong. It's nothing like the dilapidated, lifeless, and zombie-infested stations I've encountered before.

He didn't ride an electric bike because the roads in the forest were inconvenient, so it took him about twenty minutes to finally see the so-called magic castle.

It was a gray-blue castle, not particularly grand.

The mottled walls were covered with vines, and some windows were even half-hidden by branches, making it look more like an abandoned old house.

An owl stood on the windowsill, preening its breast feathers. Sensing Lu Xingyuan's arrival, it did not fly away but tilted its head, curiously observing him.

"Damn, they hid it so well."

Lu Xingyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It hasn't been easy getting here.

Fortunately, we found it. Now it's time to deal with the so-called mushroom monster.

Lu Xingyuan looked around and quickly found their tracks.

The gray mushroom cap and the white stem support a small body that is less than a foot tall.

Two bright black round eyes were embedded in the lower edge of the umbrella, rolling around.

His thin arms and legs were covered with all sorts of tools—a rusty little dagger, a crooked wooden sword, and a toothpick spear that was longer than his body.

As the people approached, they brandished their various weapons, trying their best to look fierce and menacing.

"this one?"

Lu Xingyuan almost burst out laughing.

Just how incompetent is Gu Wanqing? She can't even handle this kind of trivial matter?

But the next second, his expression changed.

Without warning, the soil broke open, and one mushroom monster after another emerged, densely packed, numbering in the hundreds and thousands, instantly turning the area in front of us into a gray ocean!

What's even more terrifying is how well-trained they are.

"Form ranks! Charge!"

"kill!!!"

It unleashed a powerful and overwhelming momentum!

Ok!

Lu Xingyuan swallowed hard and decided to take back what he had just said.

Da da da!

The battle began, with submachine guns spitting out blinding flames and dense bullets raining down on the charging mushroom monsters.

Their bodies are too fragile, possibly even weaker than a level one zombie, but their sheer number makes them a difficult group for Lu Xingyuan to deal with!

Fortunately, he had unlimited ammo, and after a lot of effort, he managed to achieve a brilliant record of zero to one thousand kills.

"Are these mushroom monsters edible?"

Looking at their mangled corpses, Lu Xingyuan fell into deep thought. Should he sell them to Sister Qing at a high price?

Forget it, it's best not to eat mushrooms randomly, otherwise you might end up seeing your dog dancing.

The owl on the windowsill witnessed all of this and took flight.

A short while later, the tightly closed castle gates opened.

A short figure stepped out.

Just like the dwarfs in fairy tales, they were less than half a person tall, dressed in coarse cloth, with a jingling brass keychain hanging from their waist, and their beards were longer than their faces.

Lu Xingyuan's gaze swept over his face, finally settling on his white nose.

White...

"Welcome, conductor, from afar. Thank you for helping to clear the mushroom monsters around the castle. This has undoubtedly made our journey much easier."

"You're welcome."

Lu Xingyuan waved his hand.

"Now I sincerely invite you to visit Pilas Magic Castle. I wonder if you would be willing?"

"certainly."

Hurry up, I'm in a rush. I need to get this level 3 treasure chest so I can make my way there.

Stepping inside the castle revealed a completely different world, unlike its dilapidated appearance on the surface. Magnificent crystal chandeliers hung down, illuminating the interior. The red carpet underfoot, made of some kind of animal hide, felt exceptionally soft to the touch.

In the center of the table was a round wooden table, with goblets filled with red liquid.

Lu Xingyuan also got to see the other dwarfs as he wished; some had pink noses, some had green noses, and others had black or gray noses...

In terms of appearance, they don't look that different; the only way to distinguish them is by the color of their noses.

At this moment, they were all gathered around a small room and had no idea that Lu Xingyuan had arrived.

"Hey guys, look who I've brought! This is a legendary, great train conductor!"

The white-nosed dwarf has a high-pitched voice.

But still, not a single person turned back.

The white-nosed dwarf clenched his fists, forced a smile, and looked at Lu Xingyuan.

"Great train conductor, please excuse the rudeness. They are not usually this impolite."

Having said that, he hurriedly walked towards them.

"What are you all doing! Don't you know we have distinguished guests?!"

However, he was met with terrified faces.

The white-nosed dwarf clearly realized something was wrong and instinctively looked into the room.

In the small room, a dwarf lay motionless in a pool of blood, his nose a bright red, his wide eyes revealing deep terror.

"ah--!"

Screams soon echoed throughout the castle.

Behind him, Lu Xingyuan, who already knew how the story was going to unfold, remained expressionless.

Are we getting into the plot so quickly?

That's a great relationship.
