Chapter 1 – Infinite Train Survival World

[Ding!]

[Welcome to the Infinite Train Survival World. The Infinite World is being constructed. Current progress: 1%…]

Xiao Wuwang suddenly opened his eyes, his mind instantly blank.

However, the System Voice continued playing.

[2%…]

[3%…]

Xiao Wuwang sharply looked around. Wasn’t this the small apartment he had rented three years ago?

“How did I come back?”

Unable to resist, he pinched his own arm. The real pain immediately made him realize—

“I… I’ve been reborn?!!”

Reborn back to three years ago, the moment before entering the Infinite Train Survival World!

Thoughts from his Previous Life flashed through his mind at lightning speed.

[15%…]

The System Voice interrupted his thoughts. Xiao Wuwang immediately realized now was not the time to reminisce about the past. He quickly sprang up from the bed.

He needed to gather supplies!

Based on the current loading progress, he probably had about two minutes left!

Xiao Wuwang didn’t dare hesitate. He opened the wardrobe and, regardless of whether the clothes were thin or thick, grabbed them and pulled them on. The entire process took only a little over ten seconds. Finally, he didn’t forget to stuff two pairs of socks and two pairs of underwear into his pockets.

Then, Xiao Wuwang immediately ran out of the room. He didn’t linger in the small living room. Reaching the apartment door, he immediately put on his most comfortable and durable casual sneakers.

Once his shoes were on, he opened the door and rushed straight to the fire hydrant in the hallway, pulling off the Fire Axe mounted on it.

Fortunately, thanks to the recent major fire safety inspection in the residential complex, this newly replaced Fire Axe was of decent quality.

After grabbing the Fire Axe, he hurried back into his apartment without stopping, glancing at the loading progress on the way.

[60%…]

About one minute left!

He quickly dashed to the bathroom, picked up two buckets, placed one under the faucet, and turned on the water.

Carrying the other bucket in hand, he headed straight for the refrigerator.

Opening the fridge, Xiao Wuwang didn’t have time to be picky. He swiftly stuffed all the food inside into the bucket.

Six boxes of pure milk, over half a bag of ham sausages, six packs of Master Kong Braised Beef Noodles, two packs of dried noodles, one pack of dried tofu sticks, and finally, two apples and five oranges were also crammed into the bucket.

After ransacking the refrigerator section, he opened the freezer. Inside was a piece of pork belly weighing about half a kilogram and three sealed bags of beef meatballs, all of which he stuffed into the bucket.

[85%…]

Time was running out!

Xiao Wuwang turned and entered the kitchen. First, he swept the salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and other seasonings from the countertop directly into the bucket. Then, he stuffed a kitchen utensil set and half a bag of rice on top of the items in the bucket. Finally, carrying everything he had just collected, he returned to the bathroom.

[96%…]

[98%…]

Xiao Wuwang didn’t dare hesitate and immediately picked up the bucket that had been filled with water earlier.

[100%]

[Ding!]

[Infinite World construction complete. Preparing for teleportation!]

A wave of dizziness washed over him. Xiao Wuwang felt the scene shift, and he found himself in a dimly lit environment.

Xiao Wuwang staggered. Even though he reacted quickly and soon steadied himself, nearly half a bucket of water still spilled from the bucket he was carrying, which pained him immensely.

Things readily available in the original world were life-saving supplies here!

Carefully setting down the water, he then unloaded the rest of his belongings.

He knew that during teleportation, only items worn or carried would be transported along with him.

Thus, with the experience from his Rebirth, Xiao Wuwang had a significant advantage over others in terms of initial supplies.

Glancing at the supplies scattered across the floor, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but grin.

Looking around, he found himself inside a dilapidated, slowly moving locomotive. The air was thick with the smell of age and decay, with only occasional flickers of light from the furnace providing any illumination.

Just as in his previous life, the train’s sides and roof were made of rotten, decaying wooden planks that creaked and groaned with every movement of the train.

On the control panel, various gauges and dials were arranged haphazardly, most of their buttons broken, their needles trembling erratically.

This was a bizarre train that seemed on the verge of falling apart at any moment.

Hmm! Everyone’s starting train looked like this!

Beneath his feet was a space roughly two by two meters, with the supplies he had brought taking up nearly half of it.

Cramped, narrow, dim, musty, cold, damp, moldy, dilapidated, oppressive…

This was the environment Xiao Wuwang now found himself in!

[Ding!]

[Welcome to the Infinite Train Survival World!]

[Please name yourself in the Infinite Train Survival World!]

“Wuwang Kuangzun.”

In the Infinite Train Survival World, two types of people survived longest: those with formidable strength, domineering and intimidating, whom others feared to provoke; and those who kept a low profile, hiding their abilities.

But keeping a low profile meant missing many opportunities. In his previous life, Xiao Wuwang had never been one to compromise or endure humiliation. Now, reborn, he certainly wouldn’t choose to remain obscure.

In this life, he would start by making the world remember him, fear him, and yield to him—with arrogance and pride!

This began with his name!

[Ding!]

[Naming successful!]

[You are in Major Zone 086, Server Zone 3052. Below are the survival game rules:]

[1. Each player starts with a Level 0 Locomotive. Gather supplies, continuously upgrade your train, improve your strength, and strive to survive;]

[2. The first seven days are the Novice Protection Period, reducing survival difficulty by 90%. Use this time to adapt to the environment of the Infinite Train Survival World;]

[3. Treasure chests will randomly respawn along the way. Opening them may yield food, water, weapons, medicine, train upgrade materials, and other supplies;]

[4. Every day at exactly 8:00 AM, the train will enter a Platform. You may choose to disembark to gather supplies or complete various challenges and tasks for rewards;]

[5. The misty wilderness holds unpredictable dangers—do not enter lightly;]

[6. Monitor your health and fatigue levels. If either drops to a certain point, negative effects will occur. If either reaches zero, your character dies!]

[Final reminder: You only have one life. Keep moving forward, do not abandon your train, and continuously upgrade it—you will have limitless possibilities!]

[Other functions are left for you to explore on your own!]

[Wishing you a pleasant journey!]

Once the System Voice finished broadcasting, a panel appeared before everyone’s eyes.

With a clear mind, Xiao Wuwang skillfully clicked on the Personal Center in the upper-left corner, quickly scrolled down, and opened the Novice Gift Pack at the very bottom.

Without hesitation, he opened it.

[Ding! Congratulations on breaking the record for opening the Novice Gift Pack, earning the title—One Step Ahead!]

[Would you like to make a public announcement? Doing so will grant you one Talent Lottery opportunity.]

[Yes/No]

“What?!” Xiao Wuwang skipped over the title, his gaze fixed on the Talent Lottery page, his heartbeat involuntarily quickening.

In this Infinite Train Survival World, Talents were extremely precious and rare.

Most people were born with their Talents, while a small minority acquired them through adventures in the infinite worlds.

Those who possessed Talents were invariably among the elite in their respective Server Zones.

In his Previous Life, Xiao Wuwang suffered from the disadvantage of having no Talent, yet he still relied on his tenacious will to survive the most difficult first year. Over the next two years, he gradually established a foothold in the Infinite Train Survival World, amassing vast resources and achieving a top-tier overall strength among players of his batch.

However, as time went on, his lack of a Talent became an increasingly glaring weakness, leaving him at a constant disadvantage against top players with powerful Talents and making it difficult for him to advance further.

In the end, he met his demise in a regrettable defeat during a multi-player competitive mission.

Little did he expect that he would be given a chance to start over!

He had thought that, relying on three years of survival experience, even without a Talent, he had the confidence to go further in this Infinite Train Survival World.

And now, blessed by fate, he had the opportunity to draw a Talent—what was there to hesitate about?

“Yes!”

[Ding! Congratulations to Wuwang Kuangzun of Server Zone 3052 in Major Zone 086 for breaking the Novice Gift Pack opening record and receiving a Special Reward: one chance at the Talent Lottery!]

The announcement echoed three times in a row!
