Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

Since Zhao Xun has participated in every platform game this month, his points must have exceeded all the new players.

His ranking at the end of the month was low, and he obviously didn't have many points left, which were definitely spent on upgrading his special abilities.

After all, he was always scrupulous about food, so it was impossible to spend a lot of points on food and drink.

After beating around the bush for a long time, it was finally determined that Zhao Xun's special abilities had been upgraded many times. Tiantian finally felt at ease and was ready to reveal the purpose of meeting Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun heard that Tiantian was finally getting into the topic, and he smiled: "You tell me."

"You still owe me a favor, remember?" Tiantian blinked and looked at Zhao Xun, "If you have successfully spent the first ten days after becoming an old player, then you will have to follow the survival rules and various precautions for old players. They should already have a relatively comprehensive understanding. Under this premise, I hope you can help me complete a task together."

Finally, she added: "This task will never harm your interests."

Zhao Xun looked at Tiantian quietly and did not speak in a hurry.

Tiantian showed a pitiful expression: "I have no choice. I have been stuck on this task twice, so I can only ask for foreign help."

Zhao Xun looked surprised, and he felt that many questions suddenly emerged in his mind.

"If you haven't completed a task that you have already done, it won't be considered a failure for you? Can you do this task again?"

"Can you invite other players to join your mission? Or does the mission itself allow you to choose a companion to act with?"

Tiantian curled her lips: "It's too troublesome to explain it to you in detail now. When you become an old player, the system will tell you the detailed [Train Rules] for old players, and then you will be able to understand roughly."

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Xun did not force Tiantian to explain the details to him, but just said, "Then, I will reply to you after I have a general understanding. Now I don't know anything, so I can't agree to help you immediately. "

"You are quite cautious." Tiantian was not angry at all. Instead, she moved closer to Zhao Xun and said with a smile, "You should know that I am reluctant to hurt you. After all, it is hard to find someone of the same kind."

Zhao Xun raised his hand and put it on Tiantian's forehead, preventing Tiantian from getting closer.

Tiantian sat back down: "But it's okay. I understand that you want to understand the situation before making a decision. Anyway, I have to wait until you are familiar with the process before I dare to invite you to form a team."

A teammate who doesn't understand anything will often not only fail to help, but will actually cause trouble.

She doesn't like to waste time explaining detailed processes and rules, not to mention that she can understand them more clearly after experiencing them herself.

So she would rather wait a little longer.

"Okay." Zhao Xun stood up, "Then if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Tiantian snorted softly: "You are in such a hurry to leave, why don't you talk to me more about old times?"

"I can consider treating you to dinner." Zhao Xun put forward the conditions almost immediately.

"Forget it then, my points are points too." Tiantian refused mercilessly, "After you help me complete that task, I can consider treating you to a meal."

"Then I'll leave first." Zhao Xun nodded slightly, turned and left.

Tiantian didn't stay much longer and left the ordinary restaurant after eating breakfast.

On the last day of September, the day passed quietly.

There are only 16 new players left in total, and there are only two or three scattered people in each carriage, so naturally it is extremely quiet.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, an electronic sound suddenly sounded from the train's horn.

[Congratulations to the 16 new players who successfully survived the first month and became veteran players. 】

[Seven of the players have only completed the platform game twice, violating the train rules and will be punished. 】

[Choose one of two punishment contents and send them in the form of a personal pop-up window. Players are asked to choose by themselves. 】

Not long after these words were spoken, another player in the same carriage as Zhao Xun and Xiao Hong suddenly stood up and walked toward the rear.

Xiaohong looked curious: "Where is he going?"

Although she was curious, she had no intention of finding out.

She doesn't like to cause trouble and just wants to protect herself, so she won't get involved in things that have nothing to do with her most of the time.

Zhao Xun naturally couldn't answer Xiao Hong's question, but he chose to get up and follow him.

It was not yet past zero and he could move around freely.

Xiaohong didn't expect that Zhao Xun would follow him directly. She subconsciously opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound to stop him.

Also, Zhao Xun and her have different personalities and different principles of conduct.

Just because she didn't dare to go, it didn't mean that Zhao Xun didn't dare either.

Zhao Xun followed along and soon saw a total of seven players walking to the door of Car 17.

These seven people should be the players who have only completed two platform games mentioned by Electronic Sound just now.

The system obviously gave two punishment options, but everyone chose the same option without any discussion.

It seems that the other option is very important.

The flight attendant guarding the door opened the sliding door next to the door when everyone was there, and pressed one of the buttons while covering the door with his body.

The door of carriage 17 opened, and seven players filed in.

It is indeed a multi-functional carriage, and this time we have brought these players into it again.

He was really curious about what the punishment was.

However, after the seven players entered, the steward who guarded the door immediately closed the door of carriage 17 and looked directly at Zhao Xun.

The meaning of warning and expulsion is obvious.

Obviously, Zhao Xun couldn't force his way in, and it was useless to ask the flight attendant.

He shrugged and returned to his seat.

Seeing Zhao Xun come back, Xiaohong asked in a low voice: "Where did that person go just now?"

"Car 17." Zhao Xun didn't hide anything. "There are seven players in total, and they all went."

Xiaohong thought almost immediately: "Those seven players who only participated in two platform games?"

"It should be." Zhao Xun replied.

"What is their punishment? What are you going to do in Car 17?" Xiaohong couldn't help but feel curious, "This Car 17 has so many functions."

"I don't know the specifics. There are flight attendants guarding the door, so it's not convenient for me to go in." Zhao Xun spread his hands.

"Forget it." Xiaohong waved her hand almost immediately, "Anyway, we didn't violate the train regulations. No matter what the punishment is, it won't fall on us."

Although she is curious, she has no spirit of inquiring.

Just give up and you won't feel uncomfortable at all.

During the chat, the electronic sound from the speaker sounded again.

[In half an hour, the endless train will arrive at the departure station. A new batch of passengers will board the train. Players who are still in the newcomer compartment, please enter the veteran player compartment. 】

[All old players will be rearranged to their corresponding berths according to their points ranking. 】

[Players please check your tickets carefully and take your seats according to the updated berths on the tickets. 】

Hearing this, Zhao Xun and Xiao Hong took out their tickets at the same time.

I saw that on Zhao Xun's ticket, in addition to his name, the original car and seat number had changed.

【Zhao Xun】

【07 Carriage 3, Box 4, Shop 4】

Today is the last day of September, but because new passengers are about to arrive, points and rankings are updated half an hour earlier than usual.

Zhao Xun's points have changed from 305 yesterday to 302, but his points ranking has not changed, still 170.

The top 50 people are in the first three carriages, and the remaining carriage has nine boxes, each with four berths. With a little calculation, we can figure out that the 170th place is indeed the berth shown on the ticket.

When Xiao Hong stood up and walked to the car in front, she couldn't help but ask Zhao Xun, who was walking behind her: "What car number are you in?"

"7." Zhao Xunyan responded concisely and concisely.

"I am also in compartment seven." Xiaohong smiled, "I didn't expect that we could still be in the same compartment."

"The points of new players are generally not too high, and they should all be in Car No. 7." Zhao Xun was not surprised by this.

New players need to upgrade their special abilities many times, and most of them have only participated in platform games three times. Plus the cost of food and water, the remaining points are not very many.

At least they are not as good as most veteran players, so it is normal to be ranked low.

Car 07 is the last car in the veteran player area.

So Zhao Xun was not surprised that he and Xiaohong were still in the same carriage.

In addition to the two of them, the remaining seven new players should also be in Car 07.

When he walked into Car 07 and saw Xiaohong entering Box 1, Zhao Xun knew that Xiaohong had more remaining points than him and was ranked higher than him.

Zhao Xun walked straight into Box No. 3 without stopping.

As soon as the door opened, he saw three players already inside, and they were all acquaintances.

Short-haired woman, Wu Wei and Ajie.

All three volunteers are here.

But it’s not surprising that these three people participated in two platform games together in the later stage, and the points they received were not much different.

On the contrary, Zhao Xun is the one with the fewest remaining points among them.

Because he is in bunk No. 4, the last bunk in box No. 3.

Seeing Zhao Xun come in, the three volunteers were stunned for a moment.

Wu Wei reacted the fastest. He stood up and subconsciously extended his hand to Zhao Xun: "What a coincidence. I didn't expect that we would become roommates this time."

Zhao Xun nodded slightly as a greeting, but did not shake Wu Wei's hand in return.

Wu Wei remembered that Zhao Xun had never been in physical contact with others, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He retracted his hand naturally.

Instead, Ajie glared at Zhao Xun, dissatisfied with Zhao Xun's reaction.

Zhao Xun pretended not to see it. He looked at the number plate posted next to the bed and climbed onto the upper bunk on the right.

After a month on the Endless Train, he was finally able to sleep in bed.

This bed is much wider than the beds on ordinary trains, measuring 1.8 meters by 1.5 meters. As long as he sleeps at an angle, it is enough for him, who is 183cm tall, to fully straighten his body.

Although the bed board was very hard and only covered with a thin layer of cotton and sheets, it was still much more comfortable than sleeping sitting up.

Seeing that Zhao Xun didn't want to talk much, Wu Wei didn't interrupt anymore and just discussed something in a low voice with the short-haired woman and Ajie.

Zhao Xun had a good ear, and Wu Wei and the others did not deliberately avoid Zhao Xun, allowing Zhao Xun to hear the general idea.

The three volunteers mainly discussed two things.

One thing is to predict what kind of changes will happen to the train code of old players.

Another thing is whether to meet a new round of volunteers after the new wave of passengers get on the bus.

During the month they were on the train, no volunteers who had become veteran players came to see them.

For safety reasons, they did not enter the area of ​​​​old players casually, so it is still unclear whether any previous volunteers are still alive among the old players.

It stands to reason that volunteers have prepared some supplies before getting on the bus, which gives them an advantage over ordinary players. Even if the survival game is cruel, there is always someone who can survive.

Moreover, the volunteers sent over the first few times are all very powerful characters. Although it is unlikely that they will all survive, there is no problem in surviving one or two.

I don’t know why, but none of the old volunteers came to meet them.

Amid the discussion among the three volunteers, the train gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

But in the box, no sound was heard.

It stands to reason that when new passengers first wait for the train at the departure station, the loudspeaker on the initial platform will notify players to gather in Car 17 and queue up to enter the train.

But the four people in the box heard no movement at all.

"It seems that in the old player area, you can't hear the system sound from the new player area." Wu Wei thought for a while, and then said, "When we were new players, we really never heard the system sound from the old player area. System broadcast. The train rules of old players and new players should be different, so there will be some broadcasts that belong to old players alone, but we have never heard it once."

"Indeed." The short-haired woman nodded, "This kind of notification should only be broadcast in a limited area, so new players cannot hear the broadcasts about old players, and old players cannot hear the new players."

Before the three volunteers could discuss the matter in depth, personal pop-ups popped up in front of them.

Zhao Xun is no exception.

Personal pop-ups popped up in front of all the players who had just become old players at the same time.

The train rules for veteran players were not played on the radio, but were sent individually to these new veteran players in the form of a pop-up window.

For a moment, everyone was quiet and looked at the text on the pop-up window in front of them quietly.

[Train rules for veteran players]

[First, at the moment when they become an old player, each player will be allocated a corresponding survival time based on their total points. One point is equal to one hour. Points will not be deducted and can be used as usual. 】

[Second, when the survival time is insufficient, you can get more time in three ways, please click [Details] to view. If the time cannot be replenished in time and the remaining time is over, the player will be deprived of his player status and will remain on the endless train forever. 】

[Third, veteran players need to enter the dream game for at least three days every ten days. For the dream game, please click [Details] to view. 】

[Fourth, becoming a train conductor will give you the opportunity to leave the endless train. There are two ways to become a train conductor, please click [Details] to view. 】

[Fifth, points can be used to upgrade special abilities and can be exchanged for food, water, bathing packages, etc. 】

[Sixth, Car No. 18 of this train is a bathroom car. Except for passengers using a toiletry package, they are not allowed to enter the bathroom car. 】

[Seventh, after midnight and before dawn, please do not move around, let alone make loud noises. 】

[Eighth, fights and quarrels in the dining car are prohibited. 】

[Ninth, if you lose your ticket, you will be considered a fare evader and will be dealt with according to fare evasion rules. 】

[Tenth, the rankings of all old passengers will be updated according to points every ten days, and the seats of old passengers will be changed according to the rankings. The top fifty players can stay in the first three soft sleeper carriages, and the top ten players can enjoy free privileges. 】

[Train regulations must not be violated, remember. 】

The train rules for veteran players are the same as those for new players, but only five of them are the same, and the other five are completely different.

The biggest difference is that for several train regulations this time, you need to click [Details] to see more content.

Quite complicated.

If you have a weak mind, you may not be able to remember so many detailed rules.

Zhao Xun was not in a hurry to read the details. He first read the train regulations three times and memorized the five new regulations. Then he began to analyze them one by one and clicked on [Details] in order to view them.

The first one can be said to establish the essential difference between old players and new players.

Old players need to rely on survival time to survive, but new players do not have this pressure.

One point is equal to one hour. Zhao Xun now has 302 points, which is 12 days and 14 hours when converted into days.

This time is not bad, at least for the first week there is no need to worry about survival issues, so that he will not have a crisis of insufficient time in the early stage.

As for how to increase the survival time, you have to look at the [Details] in the second article.

Zhao Xun's eyes stayed on the last sentence of the second article for a moment.

"At the end of the remaining time, players will be deprived of their player status and remain on the endless train forever." This statement is very interesting.

It can be understood that the player will die when his survival time is over. It can also be understood that when the player's survival time is over, he will no longer be a player, but will become a train NPC, or become a part of the train.

What the specific situation is, I am afraid only those who have experienced it will know.

Zhao Xun clicked on [Details] of the second item.

[Players can choose three ways to gain more survival time. 】

[First, participate in the platform game for new players. After passing the game, you will not only get points, but also the corresponding survival time. One point is equal to one hour. 】

[Second, enter the dream game and after completing the task, you will not only get points, but also the corresponding survival time. One point is equal to one hour. 】

[Third, use points to redeem survival time. One point can be redeemed for one hour. 】

Zhao Xun finally understood why there were so few veteran players participating in platform games.

Except for Tiantian, other veteran players who participated in the platform game should have insufficient time to survive. In order to get more time to survive, they had to participate in the platform game.

So there is a hidden rule in this - if a player is willing to download the dungeon and still wants to play the game even if he has enough time, the system will not stop him.

Among these three methods, most of the time, veteran players should be more willing to choose the second one.

The first type is that the time for the platform game is specified by the system. The time for getting off the bus will only be told a few days in advance, but the number of days required for the platform game will not be told until the day of getting off.

When the survival time of old players enters the countdown, it may not happen that they can survive until the end of the platform game.

If you want to participate in the platform game, you must do it when you still have a lot of time to survive, and you can't get stuck when there is not enough time.

Take Zhao Xun himself as an example. Although he has 12 days and 14 hours of survival time, if he wants to gain points and survival time through platform games, he should get off the game when the platform games first appear in October.

Or you have to use the third method first. Before entering the platform game, according to the number of days required for the platform game reported by the system, spend points to buy some time, and get stuck at a point that is enough to last until the end of the platform game.

No matter what the situation, participating in platform games is not the best way to gain survival time.

Needless to say, the third method is that consuming points is not only detrimental to rankings, but also makes life difficult. Upgrading special abilities and purchasing food and water will become difficult.

After all, one point can only be exchanged for one hour of survival time, which is too short.

In comparison, the second method is the most appropriate choice.

The dream game is something that veteran players must participate in. Judging from the third article of [Train Code], it seems that the time to enter the dream game can also be chosen by the players themselves. They not only have the initiative, but also get points and survival time. Naturally the most cost-effective option.

However, when there is a dream game, there are still veteran players who choose to get off the bus and participate in platform games. It seems that the situation in the dream game is quite complicated.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun clicked on [Details] about the dream game.

【Dream Game】

The game is tailor-made for each player.

The scene and story line you enter each time may be completely different from the previous one, or it may be a continuation of the previous one.

The dream game has no ending, and there is no question of whether you have passed the level or not. You can choose to enter the dream game for at least three days in the first, middle and last days of each month. After three days, you can choose to exit the game.

Each time you enter, one or more tasks will appear, and you can earn points by completing the tasks.

The tasks are divided into main tasks, side tasks and hidden tasks.

The main mission must be completed.

Side quests can be declined, but once accepted they must be completed.

Most of the time, you can choose to accept or reject hidden tasks. Even if you fail after accepting, there will be no impact, except that you cannot trigger the same hidden task again.

If the main mission fails or the accepted side mission fails, ten points will be automatically deducted, but the player will not be forced to leave the game early.

The next time you enter the game, the failed mission will be reopened. If it fails again, ten points will continue to be deducted, and the cycle continues until the mission is completed.

Dream games may merge dreams with other players.

Most of the time it appears in players who enter the dream game at the same time, and occasionally it appears in players whose dream background happens to be similar.

If there are other players, the system will prompt.
