Chapter 92 – Everything Is Ready, Level Up

In truth, when players first enter the Eerie World, most carry some degree of fear. Without proper preparation, the mortality rate can even exceed half.

For someone like Si Shui Liu Nian, losing just one arm is considered fortunate.

After recounting her experience, Si Shui Liu Nian opened a trade window with Xiao Wuwang and placed all the resources and items she had on her person into it.

After a moment’s thought, Xiao Wuwang understood her intention—

She knew that in her current state, she wouldn’t survive long in the Infinite Train Survival World. More likely, the psychological trauma inflicted by the previous Eerie World was too severe, and she had already begun to harbor thoughts of death.

Xiao Wuwang sighed softly. In this brutal Survival World, it was not uncommon for people to experience such harrowing ordeals that their will shattered, leading them to contemplate ending their lives.

Looking at the assortment of items in the trade window, regardless of their value, Xiao Wuwang felt a complex mix of emotions.

If an ordinary person wanted to die, he wouldn’t interfere too much—after all, everyone had the right to choose their own fate.

But his interactions with Si Shui Liu Nian had been frequent, or rather, he still owed her a debt of gratitude.

Putting aside everything else, the Spirit-Governing Pendant he had obtained from trading with her earlier was still nourishing his soul.

Moreover, during their subsequent exchanges, he had found her quite congenial, which was why she was the first member he invited when he established the “Terminus Camp” group.

Xiao Wuwang’s original intention in creating the “Terminus Camp” was to hope that its members, like him, would aspire to reach the end, to arrive at that elusive “terminus,” and witness the ultimate truth and dawn.

Having encountered someone whose temperament resonated with his own, Xiao Wuwang felt it was necessary to try and save her.

A severed arm could be restored in the future, and despair could be overcome by gaining strength and seeing hope.

Often, emotional collapse occurs in an instant, but once that psychological hurdle is overcome, looking back, those seemingly insurmountable chasms no longer seem so daunting.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Wuwang lightly tapped the trade window, rejecting Si Shui Liu Nian’s trade request.

Then, he directly sent her a portion of the Crimson Flame Bear Meat he had previously cooked in bulk.

After sending the mail, Xiao Wuwang sent her a private message: 【I’ve sent you some Crimson Flame Bear Meat. This is a spirit food—eating it will not only quickly heal your injuries but, after full digestion, should also increase your Base Attributes by 15–20 points. The attribute boost can compensate for the loss of strength from your severed arm. I’ll also share some good news: when you reach Level 7 in the future, you’ll have a chance to obtain a potion for limb regeneration. There’s still hope for your arm to be restored! Don’t entertain those thoughts of ending your life anymore. As members of the ‘Terminus Camp,’ we must all strive toward that ultimate goal. I hope you won’t fall behind.】

On the other side, Meng Ruoyun, having waited for who knows how long, finally saw Wuwang Kuangzun speak in the group chat. She knew he had finished attending to his own matters, so she casually recounted her experience to him.

She spoke lightly, but no one knew the physical and psychological torment she had endured in the Eerie World!

For several hours, under the control of ghosts, she had been led into a mass burial ground.

Countless corpses were buried there—those who had died suddenly, those who had died unjustly, those who had met violent ends, those who had succumbed to illness…

Scattered everywhere were various dried bones, rotten bones, and decayed, incomplete limbs, making her instantly shudder with horror!

And the foul stench that pierced straight into her nostrils made her nauseous just from the smell!

Every second spent there was pure torment.

Yet this was not what drove her to the brink of collapse.

What truly shattered her was that, under the control of the ghostly entity, she saw all kinds of spectral beings densely packed across the mass burial ground!

There were zombies with deathly pale faces and bared fangs;

There were vengeful spirits with hollow, vacant eyes, bluish-purple lips, and mouths that continuously emitted faint, mournful sobs;

There were ghosts of those who died violent deaths, their bodies mutilated and their forms terrifying;

There were malevolent spirits clad in red garments, their faces obscured from view;

There were wraiths floating in mid-air, surrounded by an aura of chilling cold…

Although Meng Ruoyun was controlled by the ghostly entity, her consciousness remained intact. Every terrifying scene was deeply imprinted in her memory, becoming an indelible nightmare for her.

She had no idea how she managed to return to the train.

Upon returning, only one thought remained in her mind—to give all her belongings to Wuwang Kuangzun before she died.

Her mind blank, she stared at the messages in the “Terminus Camp,” hoping for the appearance of the person who had once given her hope.

When he asked about her situation in the Platform World, she forced herself to endure the boundless fear and quickly gave a brief account before swiftly closing the chat window. Then, she opened the trade window with Wuwang Kuangzun and numbly placed all the items she had on her into it.

She treated this as her final task; once completed, she could be free!

But suddenly, the trade window closed, catching her off guard. Before she could even react to this unexpected turn of events, she received a notification for a new mail.

Seeing it was from Wuwang Kuangzun, she hurriedly opened it.

Upon seeing the Crimson Flame Bear Meat in the mail attachment and Wuwang Kuangzun’s seemingly “casual” words, Meng Ruoyun felt her eyes grow hot, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

She—in this world—still had someone who cared about her!

However, she couldn’t accept that Crimson Flame Bear Meat. Spirit food that could enhance one’s attributes so significantly was undoubtedly precious.

But before she could refuse, Xiao Wuwang sent another private message.

The private message first displayed an image—a large pot of prepared Crimson Flame Bear Meat.

It ended with a passage.

Wuwang Kuangzun: 【I still have plenty of Crimson Flame Bear Meat on hand, enough for my own use. The portion I’m giving you is an early investment. I hope you can pull yourself together. You have good luck, and I’m counting on you to repay me with even more precious Items in the future! Actually, when facing ghosts and monsters for the first time, fear stems from the unknown and the feeling of one’s own insignificance. In truth, once you grow stronger in the future, you’ll be able to easily eliminate mere ghostly entities. Looking back then, you’ll realize that the ghosts that once terrified you to the point of collapse were nothing but small stumbling blocks on your path to survival.】

Meng Ruoyun stared at the private message, her vision blurred by tears, yet a warm current surged in her heart. The fear instilled by the Eerie World seemed to lessen considerably in an instant.

She took a deep breath, striving to calm her emotions, and replied: 【Thank you, Big Brother Wuwang! I will pull myself together. I won’t let you down, and I won’t allow myself to remain so cowardly anymore.】

After sending the private message, Meng Ruoyun looked at the mail containing the Crimson Flame Bear Meat. After hesitating for a moment, she still chose to accept it.

Seeing Meng Ruoyun’s reply, Xiao Wuwang also breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting a bit more with the people in the group, his Fatigue Points finally recovered to full.

Everything was ready—it was time to start leveling up!
