Li Changzhou suddenly opened his eyes, hearing the alarmed cry of a woman nearby.
His first instinct was to throw a punch, but a fierce bout of heart palpitations firmly held him back.
Only then did he remember he was at a station.
He slowly sat up and looked at Xiaoyue, who was kneeling by his side, presumably the one who had screamed.
Facing Li Changzhou's gaze, Xiaoyue, who had just been startled a second ago, now had the look of someone who had just finished a delicious meal and was still craving more.
She was dressed in a flight attendant's uniform, a black stocking peeking out from under her skirt, with a slim waist, and a white blouse underneath a small blazer, her chest noticeably full.
Li Changzhou glanced at her then quickly averted his gaze, scanning the station, which was crowded with players sleeping all over the floor.
"Did someone come by?" he couldn't even be sure if the third-rank Divine Will warrior had indeed followed or if it was merely a faint impression.
"Some idiot, daring to start a fight right in the station, but well," Xiaoyue licked her fingers as if there was some sauce on them, "even if he didn't fight, he's still an idiot, aren't players only coming in here to die?"
Li Changzhou glanced at his pants.
[Don't worry, she only managed to touch it a bit.] Guanyin said.
"..."
Li Changzhou strode towards the train, while Xiaoyue slowly stood up and called after him lightly, "The child will take my surname anyway, since you're not going to marry me!"
The cheerful and lively voice actually carried a tone of defiant strength after being abandoned.
She really could act.
Upon entering the train compartment and the private room, Li Changzhou sat down heavily, finally sighing in relief.
[Is this the subway?]
[It's different from a normal subway, more like a rail bullet train.] Knowledge about rail bullet trains was conveyed during the conversation.
[Technology, it's truly incredible. That which the Mechanical Clan uses is technology power, right?]
[From the outside, it looks like it.]
Li Changzhou closed his eyes, satisfying Guanyin's thirst for knowledge while calming his own rapidly beating heart.
The plan had been a success, but regrettably he hadn't managed to seize Yak's identity card.
Time passed, and the train departed. When Li Changzhou opened his eyes, he found himself riding a camel, with sand storming around him, and dark spirits wandering everywhere.
[Main mission: Stop the marriage]
[Mission content: Stop Seth]
[Note: Seth, known as the most powerful god, is not particularly strong yourself, and now you are even weaker. Definitely not his match, but luckily, Seth has many enemies, and you also possess a weapon that's enough to take part in this war.]
"Changzhou, once we reach Egypt, wait for the right moment, and we'll cover you," a woman with a voluptuous figure, bronze skin, and eyelashes so long they seemed to shield her from the sand and wind, said as she rode another camel looking at him.
He was familiar with Egyptian mythology, having seen stone carvings, and the woman before him resembled Nephthys's sister, Osiris's widow, Horus's mother, the magic goddess—Isis.
"I give up."
"What?"
Li Changzhou returned to the train compartment.
[Main mission: Stop the marriage]
[Status: Failed]
[Evaluation: None]
[Comments: None]
[Reward: None]
As a member of "No Taboos", one of his privileges is that there will be no penalty for failing a mission.
Just one train ticket in exchange for a 100% safe day—no matter how long it takes in the instance, the train in the real world runs for just one day and must run for exactly one day.
Li Changzhou poured himself a glass of red wine and downed it in one gulp.
Putting down the glass, he lifted his foot and took off his shoe, pouring out the sand that had gathered during his time in the desert.
The sand disintegrated into black smoke in mid-air, each grain containing souls that wailed as though they had been sealed inside after death.
[That place was strange, very much like the Nether River; the camels too, like ferry boats on the Nether River.] Guanyin said with interest.
Li Changzhou remained silent, settled cross-legged on the bed, digesting every fight of the ranking contest and the various Daoist laws he had comprehended in the final match.
At some moment, perhaps sunrise, maybe dusk, the 'Dawn Mirror' appeared, and its liquid-like golden light enveloped his body.
Thirty minutes later, after saving again, he took out a Qi Crystal and began cultivation.
Sensorily speaking, although he had just closed his eyes, a day had passed, like a night. If one suffers from insomnia, the night seems long, but once sleep is achieved, it's as though no night had existed, as fast as skipping a cutscene in a game.
When the train stopped, he walked out of the compartment, 'Honey Pot World' changing from grey text to blue flames.
"Bro, are you alright?" Li Qianxia asked the moment she came out.
"What could possibly happen at a station?" Li Changzhou replied nonchalantly, smiling, "The third-rank Divine Will that followed was killed directly by the station."
"He managed to follow us over such a distance?" Turquoise Pool was somewhat surprised.
"Perhaps it was some Divine Will, or directly using a 'Divine Will Crystal' for a wish," Li Changzhou wasn't too sure himself.
It was time to settle purchases; the station would close in an hour. The four sat down in a booth in a restaurant inside the station, ordering some Egyptian delicacies.
The booth's decor was that of the Nile River, with several crocodiles basking by the river.
"Damn!" Li Qianxia put down her sugarcane juice, "That's sweet!"
"Rice pudding," Yang Qinglan handed her one, "even more flavorful than what we had in Turkey."
Li Changzhou studied the long knife in his hand.
