Point of difference doom

Chapter 184 183:py transaction

Longxia is a novice village, and the novice village has a protection mechanism to prevent outside monsters from polluting Longxia.

But now, Zhou Baiyu got a key piece of information——

The protection mechanism of Novice Village is not always there. When the first god is born in Novice Village, the protection mechanism will disappear.

This is the purpose of the Pantheon.

This world has a ceiling, and the ceiling is to become a god.

When a ceiling appears in Novice Village, then Novice Village will naturally no longer be Novice Village.

Then the forerunners of Long Xia will officially face the threat from the tainted species of the New God lineage.

As for the ceiling itself, after becoming a god, he will probably stay in this world for a while.

But it's destined not to be long.

Because God will be forced into rules by stronger rules.

This is the hard and fast rule after Ragnarok.

Only then did Zhou Baiyu understand why the man in the black cloak said that he was the person closest to God.

Close, but not God after all.

Precisely because he is the closest, he is only one step away from becoming a god.

Becoming a god means becoming a new rule and joining "us".

Maybe this is fundamentally different from death, but maybe, this is also death in a certain sense.

Otherwise, where did Dr. A go?

A said that he is a clone, and the main body has become the god of survival and evolution.

But every time A is asked this question, A just smiles and says nothing.

Is it possible that A became a god but paid a huge price?

So the man in the black cloak realizes the price of becoming a god, but he pursues power, but he doesn’t want to be timid and not take that step——

So the man in the black cloak decided to pass on his skills before becoming a god.

He needs to find a genius.

And the Pantheon also knows all this, so the Pantheon's idea is very violent.

They plan to transport a stowaway through the train, and let the stowaway carry various mysterious treasures, and use the mysterious treasures to create gods in the Longxia area.

After the gods are created, the blocking barrier disappears. As long as the created gods become the new rules, there will be no gods in the Longxia area.

As a result, the Pantheon, which has powerful demigods, will invade on a large scale.

Today, the biggest obstacle to the Pantheon is the barrier itself.

So Pantheon began to test whether "stowaways" could be transported through strange trains.

The conductor of the strange train is a "Pure Walker" lurking in the Pantheon.

Perhaps like myself, many people's first impression of the train conductor is that the train conductor is a corrupt or polluting species.

After all, the base of Pure Walker is World No. 3, which is the real world.

But the train conductor became a train conductor through trade and became a resident member of the advance world.

So I deceived many people.

Including the Pantheon.

Pantheon constantly tries to transport stowaways by train.

But the death rate is so high that they think the cost is exaggerated.

Because of this, Pantheon began to doubt the "loyalty" of the train conductor.

I thought the train conductor was deliberately making things difficult.

But in fact, the conductor is actually a very fair person.

If you want to stay alive, you have to pass all kinds of strange rules on the train. No one is exempt.

Whether you are a passenger or a passenger under the rules, as long as you fail to survive according to the requirements of the rules, you will die.

As a train conductor, you must ensure that throughout the transaction process, the other party must pay a price and deal with various rules.

As long as you successfully pay the price and survive the strange rules, you will pass.

The train conductor showed no favoritism.

But what Pantheon needs is the train conductor's favoritism.

They believe that since the conductor is the leader of the transaction, the conductor can allocate resources to the Pantheon.

However, the people in the Pantheon obviously underestimated the train conductor’s belief in the “god of transactions and trade-offs”.

The conductor considers this journey to be sacred, just as the transaction is sacred.

If he violates his original intention, he will no longer be qualified to become a train conductor.

After figuring all this out, Zhou Baiyu lamented the huge power of the Pantheon.

I also lamented the train conductor’s stubbornness.

Perhaps it is a person like the train conductor and his character that is why he was chosen as the master of Strange Train.

Zhou Baiyu said:

"I've figured out the stakes involved, but I'm a little unsure. What do you need me to do?"

The question goes back to the original question.

The conductor said:

"I hope you can stay on the train and become a flight attendant. You will have the same authority as No. 1."

"I don't accept it."

Zhou Baiyu knew that this was definitely not the train conductor’s truest thoughts.

The conductor also smiled:

"Well, it is true that becoming a flight attendant has to pay a price, so the next step is the real deal between me and you."

Trading is sacred.

The train conductor was different from a fallen believer like Qian Ji. The train conductor’s expression became serious:

"Mr. Passenger, I would like to hire you as a special passenger. The benefit you will receive is the authority to summon trains."

"To this end, the trade-off you need to make is that you have to become a special passenger and complete some tasks assigned by me. Do you agree?"

Zhou Baiyu saw the key point:

"What do I need to do?"

"Just like you are doing now, we need you to protect passengers."

Protect passengers?

Zhou Baiyu narrowed his eyes, as if he had guessed what the train conductor was doing.

The conductor cleared his throat:

"To put it simply, it is a rule to determine whether the passengers themselves have the ability... to pass the train."

"Of course, regardless of whether he has this ability or not, you need to ensure that he survives."

"But if he is unable to survive and can only survive with your help, then please... kill him after he reaches his destination."

The train conductor's smile became a little sinister.

Zhou Baiyu was shocked.

Good guy, it turns out this is what the old man had planned.

Find someone who can get along well with the regular passengers and gain the favorability of the regular passengers.

Then, just like I protected Huang Mi this time, I can let the passengers survive safely.

But in my heart I have to rate the passengers and make judgments.

If the opponent's score is high enough and he can survive, then no further processing will be done after reaching the end point.

If the opponent's points are not enough, you will definitely not survive the next day without relying on me, Zhou Baiyu...

Then after getting off the car, kill the opponent.

Zhou Baiyu looked at the old train conductor with a fair and righteous expression on his face...but he didn't expect that he was also ruthless in what he did.

"In this way, your passenger survival rate will increase."

"Even if the Pantheon's goals are achieved, you will not offend the Pantheon."

"But at the same time, you did not affect the fairness of the transaction. The person who should have died in the car, you chose to let him die outside the car..."

"Anyway, the essence is that these people will die. As long as they don't die on your train, the Pantheon will not be able to pursue you."

"Your abacus is indeed a good one. I heard it in Baichuan."

"But the problem is, most of these passengers are people from the Pantheon. How can you be sure that I can kill the people from the Pantheon?"

"You can't use force in the car, but after getting off the car, you can't protect everything. My abilities are not as good as those of the Pantheon."

"I'm just a weak pioneer."

What Zhou Baiyu said was quite shameless.

The conductor raised his eyebrows:

"I won't convince you that this is a deal. There are risks in the deal. If you can kill that person 100%, then the deal will be too easy for you, right?"

"First you need to think about what you are getting."

"Dear special passenger, you have the authority to summon the train. There are many places the train can go. As a pioneer, there must be many places you want to explore."

"You can choose to decline the transaction."

It’s really hard for Zhou Baiyu to refuse.

As a forerunner, he really wanted to figure out the true history of the three worlds and figure out the root cause of the doomsday.

With Exotic Train, you have a lot of options.

The journey of the Forerunners is determined by the gods.

The conductor's journey is decided by the passengers.

As a special passenger who can actively summon the train, he has more freedom than the conductor.

This is undoubtedly a huge temptation.

Everything is just as the conductor said——

He doesn't need any persuasion, as long as he can see what he really gets from this transaction...

Then you will definitely not refuse the transaction.

Zhou Baiyu suddenly thought of his mother, Ms. Wang Shufen.

Ms. Wang likes to play games. When Zhou Baiyu was a child, she watched Ms. Wang play Jin Yong's Legend of Heroes.

She said that this game is fun because of its high degree of freedom. At the beginning, you appear in the seemingly ultimate copy - Shaolin Temple.

Ms. Wang would choose to go to the Shaolin Temple very early and keep trying to steal the Yi Jin Jing until she succeeded.

You can get the pleasure of reaping the benefits in the early stage.

But if it were other games, the kind that slowly leveled up, killed monsters, and accumulated numerical values, various dungeons would be set up step by step, allowing the protagonist to start as a small character and slowly fight against the most rubbish forces in the world.

In fact, Zhou Baiyu felt this way.

Before the train appeared, he could only grow up in Novice Village.

But after the train appeared, everything changed.

He can even go outside Longxia to experience some high-level recruitments that are not part of the novice village.

This means that the items he harvests may be much higher than those of other forerunners.

Of course, it all comes down to one sentence - the higher the reward, the higher the risk.

But who calls himself a dog gambler?

Zhou Baiyu said:

"I agree. I accept this deal."

"Then the sacred bargain will be concluded. May we all ensure that the transaction is fair."

The conductor seemed quite ceremonial.

Then, he took out a medal from the breast pocket of his blue uniform.

"After wearing this badge, recite the slogan 'Fair, Just, Sacred' three times in your heart, and the train will appear within seventy-seven seconds."

"Once the train appears, it will force you to be picked up. The existence of the train allows you to ignore many rules."

"Once you get on the train, then you must fulfill the terms of our transaction contract."

"You must escort the passenger to the destination and deal with the passenger at the destination. If he... dies."

"This process, as a pioneer, may cause your original recruitment to be forcibly interrupted."

"But you can rest assured that this will not cause your recruitment to fail. This has been confirmed countless times during my journey as a Pure Walker."

"This will only trigger a special state and put your recruitment on hold. But maybe... this is a great opportunity."

"Perhaps you will re-encounter the unfinished recruitment afterwards."

"At the same time, when faced with a life or death crisis, you will be grateful for this transaction."

Zhou Baiyu finally understood.

The recruitment of the forerunner world will require the forerunners to complete a certain basic task, but summoning the train will cause the task to be stranded.

Then reset the task.

This authority can be said to be a life-saver.

If you encounter a call that cannot be reached, you can basically "save" it by calling a train.

Zhou Baiyu couldn't imagine why the train was so special?

"This train... the rule priority is too high? Why does the train exist?"

The train conductor did not answer this question directly, but he briefly mentioned a few words:

"The train itself is one of the mysterious treasures."

"The Twilight of the Gods is still too mysterious for us. There are still many secrets to be solved."

"The origin of the Forerunners, the origin of the train, the origin of the pollution species and the corruption species... these secrets can only be solved by you."

"I believe that with the help of trains, you will find the answers to these questions."

Zhou Baiyu has already gained a lot from this train trip.

He originally thought that he was just a bodyguard during this train trip.

But he happened to meet the train conductor who was being made things difficult by the Pantheon and was in a tense atmosphere.

As a result, his performance fell into the eyes of the train conductor, and the two reached a deal.

Zhou Baiyu was very satisfied with the train conductor's deal.

This is a serious transaction. Both parties can gain huge gains, rather than being a profiteer, with one party taking advantage of the other.

Zhou Baiyu stood up, stretched out his hand and said to the conductor:

“A pleasure to work with.”

“A pleasure to work with.”

In Zhou Baiyu's inventory, the badge was quickly put in.

[Item name: Train Conductor’s Friendship. (Full version)]

【Specialty: Priceless.】

[Introduction: As the most loyal believer in the god of transactions and trade-offs, this old-school train conductor is a guy who never takes advantage of others, nor does he let others take advantage of himself. Throughout his life, he must ensure that every transaction is successful.

Fair, just, sacred.

If you happen to be not his opposite, then congratulations, this old man may be very lovable.

With this badge, you can summon the train. But please note that the rules on the train will be updated from time to time, and all the rights you get are obtained with your life.]

[Status: Cannot be alienated.]

After putting away the badge, Zhou Baiyu said goodbye to the train conductor.

Flight attendant No. 1 led Zhou Baiyu to the original passenger compartment.

During the process, flight attendant No. 1 once again told Zhou Baiyu that everything must be kept confidential.

Zhou Baiyu also knew that this was the only badge the train conductor could issue.

This badge may really be as valuable as the description I saw.

Zhou Baiyu nodded.

His attention slowly returned to other places, as if what happened before had never happened.

In the next few days, he will have to deal with another very important event——

Escort Huang Mi to the Library of the Gods.

After this experience, Zhou Baiyu suddenly wondered... Is it possible that after arriving at the destination, he would not be recalled to the transfer station?

If this is really the case, will you have the opportunity... to explore the mysterious library?
