Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

With just a few words, he calmed people down?

Xia Nan, who witnessed all of this, found it somewhat unbelievable.

He didn't understand why Lu Xingyuan was so trustworthy.

Just because he's handsome?

Xia Nan felt inexplicably annoyed when she thought about how the nun treated her so differently from how she treated Lu Xingyuan.

Why should I expect her to confess everything? Her mouth is like it's been zipped up; she won't give me a single punctuation mark.

Lu Xingyuan only used two words to get her to reveal everything.

This isn't how you treat people differently!

What angered him even more was Wang Huihui and her group.

They lowered their heads and whispered among themselves:

"This Lu Xingyuan is really something!"

"Yes! It immediately put us on the right track."

"Thanks to his intelligence, otherwise, we would probably still be running around like headless flies."

Xia Nan couldn't stand it anymore and glared at them fiercely.

They then obediently shut their mouths and dared not say another word.

"I'll take you to see the priest; he knows monsters best."

Sister Nina wiped away her tears, nodded to Lu Xingyuan, and led the way.

Xia Nan took this opportunity to get closer to Lu Xingyuan:

"Your information... is quite accurate. Where did you buy it? When you get back, recommend it to my friend; I want to buy it too."

In his view, the reason why Lu Xingyuan was so arrogant was because of the intelligence he had purchased through private channels.

If he had that person's friend, Lu Xingyuan wouldn't have the right to swagger around like this.

Xia Nan cleverly included Wang Huihui and the others in the conversation as well:

"They also want to get to know each other; after all, having more friends means having more options."

Lu Xingyuan probably wouldn't agree if he were alone, but what if there were more people?

Lu Xingyuan wouldn't be so easy to refuse, would he?

Wang Huihui and the others' expressions changed slightly.

They never even thought about that.

Would it be too offensive to include them in this?

"I'm sorry, she has a strange temper and isn't interested in getting to know you."

Lu Xingyuan refused decisively.

He was not swayed by Xia Nan's decision to include Wang Huihui and the others.

This made Xia Nan's expression darken.

He snorted coldly:

"What do you mean you're not interested? You just don't want me to get to know you; you want to monopolize the resources!"

He was considering having Zhao Nanzhi take charge.

I got that person's friend from Lu Xingyuan.

Then he would have Zhao Nanzhi introduce him to himself.

It's fine if you don't want to introduce her to me; I'll find a way to steal her away from you myself.

However, Zhao Nanzhi was clearly unhappy as well:

"What are you doing? They have no obligation to introduce you to them. This is very offensive."

Teemo and Rumble remained silent.

They simply exchanged a knowing glance.

Sister Wanqing might be interested in someone like you? Don't even dream about it.

That's it!

The group entered the church and looked at the priest who was praying.

He was a thin, elderly man.

It looks like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to go out at any moment.

Lu Xingyuan waited patiently for the priest to finish his prayer before stepping forward and explaining his identity as an adventurer.

Sister Nina also spoke up from the side.

Lu Xingyuan had completely gained her trust, so her words were somewhat biased.

"The monster... is exceptionally powerful."

But a lingering, unresolved worry remained between the old priest's brows.

"You may not be its match, but you might become its nourishment, accelerating its recovery."

"Don't worry, whatever those damn monsters are no match for us!"

Xia Nan seemed a bit off; she was unusually excited, and her breathing was somewhat rapid.

What's going on?

Zhao Nanzhi was somewhat puzzled.

But soon, Wang Huihui nudged her gently with her elbow, signaling her to look in a certain direction.

Zhao Nanzhi soon spotted a treasure chest in the corner of the church.

The treasure chest was shrouded in black demonic energy, yet its magnificence remained undeniable.

"This is... a level eight treasure chest!"

Zhao Nanzhi recognized it at a glance and suddenly realized what it meant.

Xia Nan must have seen the level eight treasure chest, which is why she was so eager!

"Two adventurers said the same thing last time."

Xia Nan's words failed to move the old priest, who shook his head:

"And the result? One died, and the other escaped."

Lu Xingyuan was somewhat surprised:

"You mean to say that adventurers came here last time?"

"Um."

The old priest nodded:

"It could even be said that the seal on the monsters was loosened because of them."

"At that time, the monster was sealed and its power was reduced to one-tenth. Even so, it still managed to turn the tables and kill the monster."

"It absorbed the power of the adventurer who died here, and its strength has probably recovered to about 30% or 40% now."

"If you go there voluntarily, you'll likely become its food source, allowing it to recover its strength even faster."

That was a rather harsh remark.

Xia Nan felt very uncomfortable.

The two adventurers the old priest mentioned must be train conductors of low strength.

That's why they failed to exorcise the demon and were instead severely injured by it.

But what the old priest said next made his eyelids twitch violently:

"They drove the train to the town. I remember clearly that one of them was driving a train with six carriages, while the other was driving one less, with only five carriages."

"Six carriages?!"

Wang Huihui exclaimed in surprise:

"Isn't that a Level 6 train conductor?!"

"One section more than Xia Nan?"

Xia Nan's eyelids twitched violently.

In this way, all his conjectures were overturned.

Those weren't low-ranking train conductors at all; on the contrary, their ranks were no lower than his!

Although a train conductor's rank is not equivalent to their combat strength, since some train conductors are not good at fighting but are good at management and construction.

However, it is clearly unreasonable to say that there is no relationship between level and combat power.

Moreover, the two train conductors were facing monsters whose strength was reduced to less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

Now they are facing a monster whose strength has recovered to 30-40%.

Xia Nan subconsciously took a step back, shielding Lu Xingyuan in front of her.

The atmosphere became heavy at that moment, and things seemed to have frozen in place.

Zhao Nanzhi subconsciously looked up at Lu Xingyuan, as did Wang Huihui and the others.

The reason they didn't go to see Xia Nan was because they knew very well that Xia Nan was useless.

If he were truly useful, he would have jumped out and started yelling by now.

"Father, just as you said, the monster's strength is constantly recovering. It's only a matter of time before it breaks through from the back mountain and attacks the town."

Lu Xingyuan spoke, his tone calm, neither arrogant nor flustered:

"So, instead of sitting and waiting to die, why not let us fight back?"

"Right now, it only has 30-40% of its strength, so we still have a sliver of hope. But if we wait until it fully recovers its strength, then we won't even have a sliver of hope left."
