Chapter 104 – Invitation to Ally

After reading the mission, Meng Ruoyun switched to the Goods Tab of the Shop. The three items listed were:

1. Alliance Contract Scroll, 20 Nether Coins. Allows alliance with up to three other Train Conductors. After forming an alliance, members advance and retreat together, but will face stronger monster attacks in the wild, and the Platform World entered will be one level higher than the highest-level member.

2. Intermediate Storage Carriage Capacity Card, 30 Nether Coins.

3. Ghost-Wail Earth, 100 Nether Coins per unit, limited to 3 units. Promotes the growth of dark-type Spirit Plants.

——————

Regarding Item 1, Meng Ruoyun withheld judgment for now. Given the drawbacks mentioned later, she doubted anyone would want this scroll.

Item 2, however, seemed quite cost-effective. In the group chat, Yun Feifei was willing to pay 80 Infinite Coins for a Primary Storage Carriage Capacity Card, so this Intermediate one should be worth at least 160 or more.

As for Item 3, she wasn’t familiar with it and couldn’t make a judgment.

After browsing the Nether Shop, Meng Ruoyun was momentarily unsure how to proceed.

“Maybe… I should ask Big Brother Wuwang?”

With this thought, she immediately sent a private message to Xiao Wuwang.

——————

The Refining Station had already been produced, and Xiao Wuwang was arranging for it to refine Refined Iron.

Producing 1 unit of Refined Iron required 10 units of Iron and took 5 minutes.

In other words, one Refining Station could only produce 12 units of Refined Iron per hour. Even working non-stop for a day, it would only refine 288 units.

The next upgrade required a staggering 10,000 units of Refined Iron, far beyond what a single Refining Station could meet.

Without hesitation, Xiao Wuwang assigned the Crafting Station the task of producing five more Refining Stations.

Just after arranging the task, he received a private message.

Opening the Chat Channel, a message from Si Shui Liu Nian came through.

Si Shui Liu Nian: [Big Brother Wuwang, I accidentally obtained a Class—Nether Shopping Agent. Could you take a look at this shopping mission and the goods to see if it’s worth doing?]

Attached were screenshots of the Mission Tab and Goods Tab from the Nether Shop.

After reading all the messages, Xiao Wuwang knew this mission was absolutely worth doing, and the goods were highly valuable.

Especially when he saw the Ghost-Wail Earth, he immediately thought of the Spirit Plant in his Planting Carriage—the Nether Ghost Vine, which had yet to sprout. With the assistance of Ghost-Wail Earth, it should be able to break through the soil and accelerate its growth.

He hadn’t expected Si Shui Liu Nian to have such a rare opportunity, obtaining the unique Class of Nether Shopping Agent.

In the Infinite Train Survival World, there were actually various Hidden Classes. Any Hidden Class possessed abilities and potential beyond imagination. Once discovered, it often became the key to surviving or even dominating in this harsh world.

However, obtaining a Hidden Class generally required a corresponding Talent.

Instead of answering her question, Xiao Wuwang asked curiously: [Did you activate a Talent?]

Si Shui Liu Nian: [Yes! Thinking back now, in the previous world, after being controlled by that anomaly, it actually manipulated me into obtaining a crystal. I just crushed that crystal and activated this Class and Talent.]

After sending the message, she immediately took screenshots of her panel, Title, Talent, and Skills and sent them over without reservation.

“Hiss~~”

After seeing the screenshots she sent, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

He had thought that with his rebirth and possession of two great Talents, he was already an exceptionally unique existence in this Infinite Train Survival World. Yet, Meng Ruoyun’s series of extraordinary encounters—obtaining an entire set of Class, Talent, Title, and Skills—combined in a way that was no less impressive than his own, even showing signs of surpassing him in certain aspects.

Not long ago, she had nearly taken her own life, but in the blink of an eye, she now possessed the potential to become a top-tier Powerhouse.

The reason why he hadn’t discovered a powerhouse like Si Shui Liu Nian in his Previous Life was likely because she had met with an accident and perished early on. Otherwise, the Spirit-Governing Pendant wouldn’t have fallen into someone else’s hands.

And because of his appearance, Si Shui Liu Nian had embarked on a path completely different from her Previous Life.

The Infinite Train Survival World truly offered infinite possibilities!

After reviewing her panel, Xiao Wuwang turned his gaze back to the alliance contract scroll, his eyes instantly burning with fervor.

Si Shui Liu Nian’s Talent, when combined with his, would undoubtedly yield a result far greater than the sum of its parts—1+1 far exceeding 2.

As for challenging opponents one level higher, was he afraid of such challenges?

Not in the slightest!

In fact, he even felt that the challenges in the Platform World were too weak!

With his mind made up, Xiao Wuwang sent a private message to Si Shui Liu Nian: 【Your current potential is immense! To be honest, I’m quite tempted to form an alliance with you. Would you be willing to ally with me?】

Si Shui Liu Nian: 【Really, Big Brother Wuwang? Would I hold you back if we allied?】

Wuwang Kuangzun: 【Not at all! Your four Talent Skills are incredibly strong support for me, and your Title Traits and Skills have special uses in certain areas. Your Hidden Class may even allow you to obtain some rare and unique Materials and Items, which could become powerful assets in the future. Once we ally, we can fully explore this potential together.】

Si Shui Liu Nian: 【If you think I can be of help, I’m willing to ally with you!】

Wuwang Kuangzun: 【Great! I’ll send you some Mist Sprite Blood now. First, complete Task 5 for the Nether Shop, then purchase that alliance contract scroll and send it to me.】

Wuwang Kuangzun: 【One more reminder: if you ally with me, as the alliance leader, I have the right to set the rules of the contract. I will impose rather strict terms on you, including a prohibition against betraying me. Violation will result in severe penalties, even death!】

Si Shui Liu Nian: 【Don’t worry, Big Brother Wuwang! I agree to everything. If it weren’t for your help, I would have died several times already. My life is yours!】

Wuwang Kuangzun: 【Alright! As long as you don’t regret it!】

Shortly after, Xiao Wuwang sent over a full two kilograms of Crimson Flame Bear blood.

On the other side, after receiving the Crimson Flame Bear blood, Meng Ruoyun opened the Nether Shop and clicked to submit Task 5.

As she clicked to submit the task, a Notice popped up:

【Please confirm whether the submitted Item matches the requirement. If an incorrect or false Item is submitted, the following Penalty Mechanism will be Triggered:】

【Credit Deprivation: Your Nether Shop Purchaser Class will be permanently marked as “Fraudster.” All Nether beings’ favorability toward you will decrease, and in severe cases, you may be barred from entering the Nether Shop;】

【Health Penalty: Your Health Points will be directly reduced to 50% of their current value, and you will enter a state of continuous weakness. All attributes will decrease by 30% for a duration of 3 days;】

【Netherworld Pursuit: You, having severely breached the contract, will automatically become a wanted target in the Netherworld. Netherworld patrol envoys will periodically appear in the Platform World or on the train where you are located to pursue and capture you. Once captured, you will face unknown severe punishments, including but not limited to soul imprisonment, eternal torment, etc.】

【Please confirm whether the mission item is accurate】

【Yes/No】

“Yes!”

Out of trust in Xiao Wuwang, Meng Ruoyun did not hesitate and immediately clicked the confirmation button.
