Wu Tongyue continued, "We both have our own artistic inclinations, and our evaluations of each other's works may be too subjective."

"Therefore, we also need the perspective of ordinary people to supplement our evaluation of our works."

The girl looked at the punk guy, Wu Tongnian: "Bro, you'll be our judge this time."

"Get the hell out of here!" Wu Tongnian cursed, "You two are crazy freaks, don't drag me into this!"

"What did you say!" Wu Tongyue immediately frowned, her face full of displeasure: "Do you want to die!"

"Hmph, come and try if you dare!"

Wu Tongnian said arrogantly, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? You're just a little sister!"

"..."

Wu Tongyue narrowed her eyes, sending out a dangerous signal.

These two oddballs must have fought quite a few times in private... Fan Xiao thought.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to turn tense, he immediately stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Tongyue, your brother has a little bit of artistic talent. I don't agree to let him be our judge."

"There must be more than just the three of us involved in this operation, right?"

"I think it's more appropriate to let other people give their opinions."

"Hmm...that works too." Wu Tongyue nodded.

"Damn it!" Wu Tongnian complained, "You two are freaks... The other team members are so pitiful, having to be treated like this by you!"

"If you can't talk, then shut up!" Wu Tongyue said impatiently.

Fan Xiao then asked, "Why don't I see anyone else?"

"They're all in other partitions."

The person who answered was Wu Tongnian: "We have already told them which train to take. After about five or six stops, everyone will be gathered. Once everyone is gathered, we will start our operation."

"By the way, bro, you should have gathered the members for this operation as I requested, right?"

Wu Tongyue then asked, "The team members you recruited are all cannibalistic players, right?"

Mammon does not have a fixed organizational mission.

Typically, a member receives a commission, shares it, and those who are interested participate, so everyone can make money together.

The number of participants can be limited by the entity that receives the commission.

Sharing tasks—this is practically an unspoken rule that everyone within Mammon follows.

Regardless of whether one has the ability to complete a task independently, tasks are generally shared.

After all, if everyone hoards their own knowledge, the market for making money will never open up.

Hearing his sister's question, Wu Tongnian nodded and said, "My lovely sister, as your older brother, I will still fulfill your request."

"Ugh... Don't say things like that, it's disgusting."

Wu Tongyue made a vomiting gesture, seemingly genuinely disgusted.

Upon seeing this, Wu Tongnian's eyes turned cold.

To prevent the two of them from causing another ruckus, Fan Xiao once again acted as a mediator, stepping in to ease the tension by saying, "In other words, this time the team members are all going to rip us off to the bone?"

"...Brother Fan, don't learn bad habits from my little sister!" Wu Tongnian reminded him.

"Just tell me if it's true or not!" Fan Xiao said impatiently.

"Damn! You guys are a perfect match! Of course, it's fine, just don't kill your teammates directly."

After answering, Wu Tongnian cursed, "Damn it! Every time they come out, they do this kind of thing. I'm really fed up!"

He glared at his sister and said, "This is the last time I'm helping you. If you want to come back later, you'll have to figure it out yourself! Damn it... you've ruined my reputation! Who will dare to go on missions with me again?"

During the conversation, the sound of a train slowing down and rubbing against the tracks could be heard in the distance.

Fan, Xiao, and the other two looked over at the same time and, upon seeing the outline of the time-travel train's front, prepared to board.

They would steal goods, kill players on the vehicles out of curiosity, and then deliver the goods to Star Memory City—that was what they were going to do next.

Fan Xiao would certainly not kill people indiscriminately.

Given his noble character and high moral standards, the mere act of robbing someone else's belongings without cause was already difficult for him to accept, let alone murder.

His reasoning was simple—he was just an observer in this operation; even without him, the cargo would still be robbed, regardless of whether he joined in or not. He simply didn't intervene.

Whether to stop it or not is entirely up to you.

If others criticize him for this, that's moral blackmail, and he shouldn't pay any attention to it.

The only hurdle he needs to overcome is his own mental one.

Delivering the stolen goods to Xingyi City is the foundation for investigating subsequent events; it's a crucial step that must be completed.

As for murder... Fan Xiao wasn't too worried about that.

He firmly believes that such a difficult choice will not happen.

Not long ago, he had used up the luck he had accumulated over the past month to make a wish—that this trip would perfectly achieve his goal.

The key is the word "perfect".

Because his luck had reached a level that lasted for a month, he had fewer concerns when making wishes, and he even dared to add difficult-to-achieve conditions like "perfection" to his wishes.

This means that what happens after this will be as he wishes... or as much as possible as he wishes, so that he won't be put in a difficult situation.

Fan Xiao was quite confident in the value of his luck over the course of a month.

This investigation trip should be relatively problem-free.

Soon, the train arrived at the station and stopped.

Before boarding the train, Wu Tongnian suddenly said, "By the way, Brother Fan, this train is for C-level players. You shouldn't mind boarding a train with a player level lower than your own, right?"

“I don’t mind,” Fan Xiao said. “You mean the punishment, right?”

“That’s right. I don’t know how much you understand about the punishment, so I have to remind you,” Wu Tongnian said. “Entering the low-level train will result in the Evolution Game’s punishment. After that, even if you participate in dungeons at player level B and achieve a high completion rating, you can forget about getting tickets, potions, and the like.”

"What about the props?" Fan Xiao asked.

“Items… might have some impact, but it doesn’t seem to be that big?” Wu Tongnian said, “Tickets, evolution potions, recovery potions… even items, as long as you have money, you can buy these things through the Mammon platform.”

"Oh? For people with powerful backing, this has no impact whatsoever; it just means spending a little more money."

Fan Xiao sighed, "So this is the advantage of players with powerful backgrounds... Hey, I love bullying the weak and taking advantage of the small! This rule is actually beneficial to us."

"I like straightforward and honest people like you!"

Wu Tongnian patted Fan Xiao hard on the shoulder, expressing his agreement.

Fan Xiao then asked, "What about lower-level players entering the higher-level train?"

"Hmm?" Wu Tongnian asked, puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

Fan Xiao: "Curious."

“Of course, it has no effect whatsoever,” Wu Tongyue answered on his behalf. “Evolution games never restrict lower-level systems from touching higher-level ones.”

She shrugged and continued, "As long as you have that confidence, you can do whatever you want."

As they spoke, the three of them had already boarded the train and found their seats.

After pressing the call button and ordering the drink, Fan Xiao chuckled and said, "I don't like calling this a death wish."

"This is a challenge! The feeling after reaching the peak... is even better than making love!"

"I think you guys should try it too, don't be such cowards."

Wu Tongnian: "..."

Wu Tongyue: "..."

So perverted!

So crazy!

"Ahem..." Wu Tongnian coughed and said, "Brother Fan, how about... I give you the position of temporary team leader?"

"Why?" Fan Xiao asked.

"I don't think I deserve it!" Wu Tongnian said. "I think you're a better jerk than me!"

"..." Fan Xiao suppressed the urge to kill the other person and said, "No interest. I'm not making any money from this operation. What kind of captain would I be? Working for you guys for free?"

Soon, the train started moving and left the station.

After about six stops, as more Mammon members boarded and joined the team, the number of "Mammon's Team" reached 12, including Van Shaw.

Wu Tongnian stood up from his seat and said, "Everyone's here, let's begin."

"Strange...why are we the only ones left in this carriage?"

Wu Tongyue frowned and said, "Everyone else just happened to get off the bus... What a coincidence?"

"Why worry about so much?" Wu Tongnian waved his hand. "Let's find the goods first. This mission is the priority. If you want to kill someone, just do it a few times. Don't delay the important business."

After giving the reminder, he added a warning: "This is the third time. We can't afford to make another mistake! Otherwise, our reputation will really be in trouble."

"The goods should be in the last carriage."

Fan Xiao pointed to the position in front of him from this angle.

"Are you sure?" Wu Tongnian asked curiously, "How can you be sure?"

“Intuition,” Fan Xiao chuckled. “My intuition is always very accurate. Want to give it a try?”

Actually, he didn't have any intuition; he just pointed in a direction based on a fleeting thought that came to mind.

But he felt... he was pointing in the right direction.

As for why he's so awesome... don't ask, it's just luck!

Wu Tongnian did not ignore Fan Xiao's opinion and said, "Then let's go and take a look. If we can find it in one go, we can save a lot of trouble."

After saying that, he led the way and walked over.

Fan Xiao and others followed closely behind.

The last carriage was only two carriages away from their carriage, a very short distance.

To everyone's slight surprise, they didn't see any other players along the way.

It is certain that there were players in the two middle carriages.

In other words... did all these players get off at the last stop?

No...it doesn't seem to be all of them.

It seems that some people went to the restaurant carriage to eat before.

Three consecutive carriages were completely empty except for Mammon's people... This scene was unsettling.

This is really weird!

Wu Tongnian and Wu Tongyue immediately tensed up and became on guard.

The other Mammon members were also ready for battle.

"Everyone be careful! There might be something wrong inside the car!"

Wu Tongnian reminded the others.

Everyone was on high alert.

Despite the tense atmosphere, Fan Xiao felt very relaxed.

Because he knew the reason why this situation had arisen.

"Avoiding situations where I had to kill other players... I never thought that something I didn't want to do would be accomplished in this way."

Even Fan Xiao had to admire his own luck for being able to create such a coincidence.

Of course, it's also possible that something unexpected really happened.

Despite being relaxed, he remained slightly vigilant.

After passing through the two middle five-person carriages with a slightly eerie atmosphere, the group of 12 people arrived at the front of the last carriage.

The connection between the carriages was sealed off with a metal device, which looked very sturdy, and there was also a light strip surrounding the outside. Fan Xiao recognized this as the energy barrier technology of the 001 partition.
