Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

He continued to fight Wen Leisha for several more rounds until he could compress the victory into three moves or less before Lu Xingyuan chose to stop.

Lu Xingyuan took a shower and came back. It was already midnight, but he was still full of energy and vitality.

"Ugh... Never take an afternoon nap, or you'll have a meltdown at night."

With a sigh, Lu Xingyuan opened the chat interface.

"what?"

Someone actually sent him a private message; he had just gone to take a shower and hadn't even noticed.

Upon clicking, I discovered it was Zhao Nanzhi.

"Brother Lu, are you there?"

Two seconds later, another message appeared:

"I'm sorry to bother you so late!"

Lu Xingyuan glanced at the message timestamp; less than two minutes had passed since the last message.

"They probably aren't asleep yet, right?"

He muttered something to himself and sent a message back:

"No, I just took a shower."

Zhao Nanzhi replied quickly.

"Wow, Brother Lu is so diligent! He's exercising so late."

"Children without umbrellas must run even harder!"

"I've seen too many people cling to mediocre talent, content to remain stagnant. But Brother Lu's talent is clearly outstanding, yet he still works so hard! It seems that Brother Lu's success is not accidental, but inevitable!"

"Your praise makes me a little embarrassed."

"Hehe, who can blame me when Brother Lu is truly an outstanding person!"

After expressing her praise, Zhao Nanzhi smoothly moved on to the main topic.

"Actually, the reason I came to see Brother Lu so late tonight is because I have something important to discuss with you."

"I guessed it, otherwise you wouldn't have come to chat with me."

"What you're saying... I was just too shy to chat with you, wasn't I?"

The girl on the other side pursed her red lips, her fingers unconsciously twisting together.

She was telling the truth.

Because she didn't see Lu Xingyuan very often.

Although we're friends, it doesn't seem like our relationship is that close.

Several times, she opened Lu Xingyuan's chat interface and typed a long message in the input box, but in the end, she still didn't have the courage to press the send button.

Today, she has finally gotten her chance.

"I have a pass for Platform Gold."

"Besides yourself, you can bring five more people with you."

"I've already invited four companions, and now there's only one spot left, so... I was wondering if Brother Lu has some time to explore this golden platform together?"

She spoke very cautiously, as if afraid of being rejected by Lu Xingyuan.

The other four companions were not important at all; they could even skip it. But Lu Xingyuan could not skip it.

After all, she made these dumplings specifically for this plate of vinegar.

"Platform Gold?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Xingyuan's eyes as he read the message from Zhao Nanzhi.

Although he had secondary access to natural disasters, the highest level he had ever been to was the purple platform.

Therefore, he was naturally extremely interested in this golden platform.

"Really?"

Things went surprisingly smoothly, making Zhao Nanzhi extremely happy.

"I thought I was bothering Brother Lu."

"Opportunities to go to Platform Gold are rare, even I haven't had them many times. Now that such an opportunity has been presented to me, I really can't find a reason to refuse."

"I feel it's necessary to explain about the other four partners, so that Brother Lu won't misunderstand."

Zhao Nanzhi said:

"Although I am the actual owner of the Golden Platform Pass, my four friends were of great help in getting it, so I can't abandon them."

"understand."

Lu Xingyuan nodded.

"So you're just inviting me into the team like that? Won't your friend have any objections?"

"No, they'd be overjoyed if they knew it was you, Brother Lu."

Zhao Nanzhi said with a grin:

"Brother Lu, your strength is widely recognized. The Golden Platform is fraught with danger. With your participation, the safety of this trip is guaranteed. If they're not stupid, they wouldn't have any complaints about you."

Lu Xingyuan neither agreed nor disagreed, but raised his own questions about more practical issues.

"How will the rewards at the platform be distributed?"

The level of a platform is directly related to the rewards it produces.

The higher the level, the greater the reward.

It goes without saying that the rewards in this golden platform must be incredibly generous.

If a high-quality reward that he desires appears on the platform, he, who has contributed the most, will naturally not let it pass him by.

This would inevitably lead to conflicts with others, since he hadn't put in any effort to obtain the pass.

I shouldn't even be on this golden platform, yet I'm taking the biggest slice of the cake. It just doesn't seem fair.

Leaving aside Lu Xingyuan and others, just considering Zhao Nanzhi, she probably wouldn't be happy either.

"I?"

"I'm fine, after all, Brother Lu saved my life and rescued me from the Wanlong Alliance. Without you, I don't know what I would be like now."

In fact, Zhao Nanzhi didn't say the more explicit thing: Logically speaking, I belong to you entirely.

But her shyness made her hesitant to ask, and she was also afraid of scaring Lu Xingyuan.

"...Inviting you to explore the Golden Platform is partly to repay a debt of gratitude."

Zhao Nanzhi further revealed her true thoughts.

"As for my four friends... they shouldn't have any objections, right? As long as Brother Lu can provide them with tangible benefits, they should be quite sensible."

To put it bluntly, without Lu Xingyuan, they probably wouldn't have been able to pass through the Golden Platform so smoothly.

However, a figure involuntarily popped into Zhao Nanzhi's mind, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

"He'll probably know what's good for him, right?"

……

the next day.

Lu Xingyuan, who had only slept for three hours, still got up on time.

"It's alright, your mental state is okay, and you look good too."

Lu Xingyuan, who was brushing his teeth with Alice and the others, carefully admired his appearance in the mirror.

"Is Dad paying extra attention to his appearance because he's about to meet a young and beautiful girl?"

Alice, standing to the side, pouted.

"wrong."

Lu Xingyuan shook his head.

"I was invited by Zhao Nanzhi, so my image is largely linked to Zhao Nanzhi's image."

"If it were just the two of us today, it wouldn't be a problem, but her friends are here too. So how could I let her lose face?"

Timo, standing to the side, nodded in sudden realization.

"I see!"

"Then I'll comb my hair like an adult!"

"Because I represent the boss!"

"My image is tied to the boss's image!"
