"Gu Mian had kidnapped the trainmaster, slapped the emergency brake button in the driver's cabin, and finally destroyed the controller with a chainsaw." In a nutshell, this was Gu Mian's performance in this instance.

Guigu remembered that the "Instance Evaluator" role had been implemented. An evaluation would be given after each instance, though the evaluator might not always appear.

But that didn't matter now; what he was worried about was Gu Mian's instance evaluation rating.

Everyone knew that a train was typically unusable if its driver was dragged out of the cabin, the emergency brake button was hit, and the controller was destroyed.

Moreover, the instance didn't seem to have an auto-repair feature that players could witness.

The night breeze was chilly, slapping against the faces of everyone present and making them feel a slight cold.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Guigu heard an uneasy and confused voice from one of the carriages, likely from another group of players.

But they didn't stay cold for long.

After a few moments of eerie silence, a panel Gu Mian was very familiar and comfortable with popped up.

[Warning!]

[Important prop damaged in the 'Whimsical Train Escape' instance detected. The instance will be unable to continue running.]

[Player instance evaluation will be conducted in advance. After the instance evaluation concludes, players will be forcibly removed from the instance...]

Han Shan stared at his panel, his expression unchanging; he didn't seem surprised by this outcome.

Meanwhile, Guigu quietly gulped. This Doctor certainly lives up to his reputation.

Legend had it that no instance Gu Mian experienced survived. Guigu didn't know if this rumor was true or false, but now it seemed very likely to be true.

Soon, everyone's panels started to change, each becoming unique.

Han Shan focused on the transparent board in front of him.

[Instance Evaluator No. 18997 at your service. First, we sincerely wish you a happy life.]

Meanwhile, Guigu was staring at his own panel with a grim face.

[Instance Evaluation Level: D-]

[At this rating level, instance rewards are Game Coin *80, Attribute Points *1, special item 'A Roasted Rabbit']

His attention was entirely focused on the next two lines. Even though it's true I didn't do anything in this instance...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Mian. Gu Mian did most of the work in this instance; his evaluation shouldn't be low.

As Guigu thought this, his eyes wandered over to look at the panel in front of Gu Mian.

A single glance at the densely packed text almost blinded him.

[Instance Evaluator No. 10065 at your service. First, we sincerely wish you a happy life.]

[Detecting your game nickname as...your game nickname as...game nickname undetectable.]

[Detecting your game code as '1'...Detecting that you are currently in the 'Whimsical Train Escape' instance.]

[Acquired title 'Train Master's Killer'; when this title is equipped, damage dealt to all trainmasters is doubled]

[Acquired passive status 'Train Killer'; when a player with this passive status boards a train, the train's accident rate will increase by 50%]

What on earth is this passive status? No matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like anything good!

And this was the first time he'd ever seen something like a title.

The others had also clearly noticed the frequently appearing "???" on Gu Mian's panel and couldn't help but look over.

But before they could clearly read the densely packed text on Gu Mian's panel, the content changed.

[All player instance evaluations have been completed. This instance will now enter a dormant period. All players will be kicked out of the instance soon. Please prepare yourselves.]

Meanwhile, Chu Changge was in the inn, fiddling with a radio.

The radio emitted a CRACKLING static. Other than this CRACKLE, there was no other sound.

Suddenly, Fatty's voice came, "Hey, Brother Chu, the announcement has been updated."

Chu Changge didn't lift his head. "Which instance did Gu Mian enter?"

[Announcement (February 21, 11:23 AM)]

[The common instance 'Whimsical Train Escape' has sustained vehicular damage and has been sent to the repair shop. The trainmaster suffered extreme psychological trauma, and recruitment for new train drivers is underway. This instance has been temporarily suspended; the reopening date is undetermined.]

[Compensation player list: Gu Mian, Han Shan, Energetic Guiguzi, Fang Xiang, Angel Slaughter, Meng Shi Tian Ying...]

The compensation list didn't use an ellipsis. The names that followed were somewhat unfamiliar, and Fatty had no desire to read further.

Fatty tilted his head. "The Doctor and those two entered an instance called 'Whimsical Train Escape.' That name really is quite whimsical..."

"It is quite weird," Chu Changge said. He picked up the radio from the table, shoved it into the cabinet beneath, and then looked towards the living room. "Let's wait for Gu Mian to get back, then we'll leave this place."

The female ghost, capable of producing a mysterious red liquid, was still standing in the middle of the living room.

Chu Changge eyed her several times. "But we should probably get her cleaned up a bit..."

"Indeed we should..." Fatty glanced at the female ghost, his heart palpitating slightly.

She seems determined to follow the Doctor relentlessly. With her current appearance, she wouldn't just scare us; she'd be an incredibly eye-catching spectacle on the streets. We really don't want to become the center of attention.
