Chapter 330 Deputy Train Conductor (4k)
Zhao Xun stood up and was about to go to the restaurant to catch a train attendant to ask about the situation, when he saw a light flashing in the second storage compartment on the right side of the personal panel.
He opened the storage compartment, flipped through it, and soon found the light source.
It was the strange-looking little sculpture.
A special item without any useful details.
Zhao Xun walked out of the compartment calmly to avoid meeting the player who was about to move into compartment 7, while taking out the [Unknown Sculpture] to check.
After being taken out, the little sculpture no longer flashed and glowed, and it looked no different from usual, not attracting any attention at all.
But in front of Zhao Xun, a pop-up window popped up.
[Congratulations to player Zhao Xun for obtaining 6521 points, which is more than three-fifths of the points required to exchange for [Train Conductor]. At the same time, the player has [Unknown Sculpture], triggering the special identity [Deputy Train Conductor]. ]
[Player Zhao Xun can exchange for [Deputy Train Conductor] with [Unknown Sculpture] and 6000 points. 】
【[Deputy Train Captain]'s authority is second only to [Train Captain], and after accumulating the remaining 4,000 points, it can be exchanged and upgraded to [Train Captain]. 】
【Is player Zhao Xun willing to spend 6,000 points and [Unknown Sculpture] to exchange for [Deputy Train Captain]? 】
【Yes][No】
Zhao Xun looked at the lines of text and understood it.
He met the conditions to become a [Deputy Train Captain], but he has not exchanged it yet, so the ranking is not displayed, and the ticket does not have a clear car number and compartment number.
He had guessed before that [Unknown Sculpture] might be related to the second way to become a [Train Captain].
Although the actual situation is a little different from his guess, it is not far off.
Zhao Xun did not hesitate too much and directly chose [Yes].
He had never heard of the identity of [Deputy Train Captain].
But having authority second only to [Train Captain] is a great attraction for him.
Moreover, upgrading from [Deputy Train Captain] to [Train Captain] does not require accumulating 10,000 points from the beginning, but only needs to make up the remaining 4,000 points.
In this way, there is no harm in becoming [Deputy Train Captain]. Instead, it will allow him to get in touch with the secrets related to [Train Captain] earlier and learn more about the Endless Train.
No matter how you look at it, he has no reason to choose [No].
[Congratulations to player Zhao Xun for becoming [Deputy Train Captain], with 521 points remaining, ranking third. ]
The moment the pop-up window appeared, the [Unknown Sculpture] in his hand disappeared.
Seeing the new pop-up window, Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was third.
After deducting most of the points, he thought his ranking would be the last among the old players.
The result was completely the opposite. He went directly from 113th to third place.
It seems that after becoming [Deputy Train Captain], the ranking is not simply based on the number of points.
In other words, the ranking of players on the Endless Train is first divided by identity and then by points.
The status of [Deputy Train Captain] is higher than that of [Passenger] and [Conductor], so he is naturally ranked higher.
But he is not the first.
Is there already a [Train Captain], or are there other players who became [Deputy Train Captain] earlier than him?
He will know the answer soon.
Zhao Xun opened his personal panel.
Sure enough, the two lines of [Points] and [Ranking] have changed.
He took another look at his ticket.
[Zhao Xun]
[Car 01, Box 03]
There are also changes on the ticket.
But a few beds are missing.
There are only ten players in Car 01, so there must be one box for each person, so there is no need to divide the beds.
Zhao Xun walked to the car in front in a good mood.
After four months on the Endless Train, he finally knew what was special about the treatment in Car 01, and the soft sleeper must be more comfortable than the hard sleeper, and the area of the bed should be larger.
If the system does not inform him of the duties of the [Deputy Train Conductor] tonight, he will sleep comfortably and see what happens the next day.
He quickly walked to Carriage 01.
Unlike other carriages, the corridor here is narrower and only wide enough for one person to walk.
But the layout is much more exquisite.
There is a soft carpet on the floor, and a few bottles of perfume are hung on the wall on one side. There is no metallic smell or turbid human smell in the whole carriage, and the air is very fresh.
There are a total of ten compartments in the carriage, and there are nameplates on the compartments with numbers written on them.
Although there is no overly gorgeous decoration, the style of the nameplate and the font of the numbers are completely different from other compartments, highlighting the nobility in the details.
Zhao Xun walked to the door of compartment 03 and opened the door, and then he slightly raised one eyebrow.
He walked into the compartment, closed the door, and locked it, and then began to look at the layout of the compartment.
This should be the same as compartment 17, with a special space.
From the outside, the area of these boxes is not large. If a large bed is placed, it will take up a lot of space.
But there is not only a spacious bedroom, but also a small bathroom.
There is a large bed of two meters long and one meter eight wide in the bedroom. There are bedside tables and a two-door wardrobe on the side near the window.
On the other side of the bed is a single sofa and a small round table.
This area is definitely larger than the actual area of the box.
Therefore, like Car 17, the space here has been expanded in a special way.
Zhao Xun sat on the soft bed, very satisfied with his new living environment.
Although it lacks a kitchen and living room compared to normal housing, the environment and infrastructure are very good.
There is even a Simmons and duvet on the bed, which is much more comfortable than sleeping on a wooden bed.
Zhao Xun went to the bathroom to wash up. It was almost 12 o'clock.
He lay on the bed and waited quietly.
Until after one o'clock in the morning, the train announcement announced the specific time of the first round of platform games in January 3034, and no new pop-up window appeared in front of him.
It seems that there is information about [Deputy Conductor]’s authority that will not be told to him tonight.
Maybe the system will notify him tomorrow, or he may need to explore on his own.
Then go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow.
*
This time, Zhao Xun slept very comfortably.
At eight o'clock in the morning, before he got up, he was woken up by a knock on the door.
He immediately opened his eyes and his mind became clear.
According to what the whistle said, the ten players in Car No. 01 should have very little contact with each other when nothing happens.
But as soon as he moved in here, someone came to see him.
He had to suspect that it had something to do with his new identity.
But the identity of [Deputy Train Conductor] was not announced in the broadcast last night, and other players should know nothing about it.
Anyone who could come to him for this must have some special identity.
Maybe it's the [Train Conductor], or maybe it's the player who became the [Deputy Train Conductor] before him.
Zhao Xun got up and dressed calmly.
He definitely wanted to meet the person, but he was not that anxious.
Since the other party took the initiative to find him, he must want to meet him more than he did. He was not worried about the other party running away.
Therefore, Zhao Xun went to the bathroom to wash up first.
The knocking on the door outside never stopped, but it was very restrained. It knocked three times every thirty seconds, and the sound was neither light nor heavy.
The person who knocked on the door was very calm and never left. He had an aura that insisted on Zhao Xun coming out.
After washing up, Zhao Xun opened the door.
Two people were standing outside.
One male and one female.
The man looked about thirty years old, 180cm tall, with his hair tied into a ponytail. His cold white skin gave him a bit of delicacy, but his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water without any waves.
Zhao Xun noticed that there was a small blue mole on the earlobe of the man's right ear. It was a special color and quite conspicuous.
The woman was very young, she looked about 20 years old, with a thin and slender figure, a sickly pale face, and even her lips had no color.
She was sitting in a wheelchair, with no expression on her face, and her eyes were indifferent when she looked at people.
"Do you have anything to do with me?" Zhao Xun smiled slightly and asked politely.
"Is it convenient to go in and talk?" The man's attitude was quite polite, but there was no expression on his face.
It seemed that he had been expressionless like this for a long time and was used to it.
Zhao Xun turned sideways and opened the door wider.
Two people came in one after another.
"Introduce yourself." As soon as he entered the room, the man took the initiative and said to Zhao Xun, "My nickname is 'Death'."
"Ice." The woman followed.
There are only two words, but anyone can understand that she is saying her nickname.
"Hello." Zhao Xun closed the door, sat down by the bed, and gestured to the God of Death to sit on the single sofa, "I don't have a famous nickname like yours, so just call me 'Ah Shui'."
The God of Death sat on the single sofa and stared at Zhao Xun for a while before saying, "You seem to know me?"
He has been observing Zhao Xun.
When he heard his nickname, Zhao Xun didn't have the politeness to face strangers, as if he already knew who he was.
But he had never met Zhao Xun, and he was very sure that he had never met Zhao Xun before.
He had some doubts about whether Zhao Xun was a volunteer of a certain term.
Because previous volunteers will see all the information of previous volunteers before boarding the Endless Train.
If he is a volunteer, then what he wants to talk about today will have to change.
"The name 'Death' is quite famous among old players." Zhao Xun did not hide it. "I asked people about your appearance, and I guessed who you were the first time I saw you."
Seeing Zhao Xun's calm expression, the God of Death believed him a little, and then asked, "Why are you asking about me?"
"I not only asked about you, but also asked about the 'Devil'," Zhao Xun smiled, "I'm a little interested in some of the famous old players on the Endless Train."
The doubt in Death's heart was dispelled.
This is indeed something a lot of people do.
It's not necessarily that he wants to get to know a powerful player, but it may be that he doesn't know who the other player is when he encounters him, so he doesn't get hit by a gun.
"Let's talk about business," Zhao Xun changed the subject, "What do you want to say when you come to me?"
Death did not hesitate and went straight to the point: "You became the [Deputy Conductor]?"
"Yes." Zhao Xun nodded and admitted, then asked, "Are you also a [deputy train conductor], or have you become a [train conductor]?"
He had already guessed the reason why these two people came to him.
And he guessed that these two people received the notice after he became the [Deputy Conductor], so they came to him early in the morning.
Being able to get notification about his change of identity proves that the identities of these two people are related to him.
He had no need to hide anything.
Hearing this, Han Bing, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyelids.
Her voice was slightly hoarse: "I am [Deputy Conductor]."
"You also got a special special item?" Zhao Xun looked interested.
"Yes." Han Bing replied very calmly, "An ugly sculpture, plus 6,000 points, can be exchanged into a [Deputy Train Conductor]."
Zhao Xun became more interested: "Can you describe the appearance of that sculpture?"
Han Bing glanced at Zhao Xun, a little surprised at how familiar Zhao Xun was.
It was obvious that she had always been very cold when they met for the first time, but he was able to ask her various questions skillfully.
There was no discomfort at all facing strangers.
However, it doesn't hurt to answer such an innocuous question.
She roughly described the appearance of the sculpture: "It looks weird, like a monster, but 'weird' is probably more appropriate to describe it. When you look at it, you will feel a sense of discomfort from the bottom of your heart."
After speaking, she asked Zhao Xun: "Is it similar to your special item?"
"It should be about the same." Zhao Xun nodded.
Even though the appearance is not exactly the same, the "weird" and uncomfortable feeling are very consistent with his feelings about the [Unknown Sculpture].
It stands to reason that the dream game experienced by each player is related to the player himself. The probability of the same special item appearing in different dream games should be very low.
But judging from what Han Bing said, the special items not only look similar, but also give people the same feeling. Even the functions are exactly the same - after enough points, the identity of [Deputy Train Conductor] can be triggered.
Han Bing was obviously aware of this, and she asked Zhao Xun: "What was the dream game like when you got this special item?"
Zhao Xun thought for a while and briefly described it: "Church, priest, this sculpture is their 'god'."
Then, he looked at Han Bing.
Han Bing understood what Zhao Xun meant and took the initiative to speak: "My dream game is completely different from yours. It is a children's paradise, and this sculpture is one of the toys."
Zhao Xun nodded to express his understanding.
Sure enough, their dream games were different, but their special items were the same.
This particular item does have its "specialness" though.
It is a clue about becoming a [Train Conductor] scattered in the dream game. In order to distinguish it from other special items, it is understandable that they are all made in the same style.
Han Bing quickly retracted her thoughts and said to Zhao Xun: "The probability of getting this special item is extremely low. You are lucky."
Only by triggering special tasks can you get special items, and the probability of triggering special tasks is not high.
In so many dream games, this special item exists like a grain of sand in the desert.
So far, apart from herself, Zhao Xun is the only one who has received this special item. (End of chapter)
