He admired the performance for almost a full minute before it finally came to an end, culminating with the female player in sportswear stabbing and destroying the ghost creature's body. However, after the battle, this female player was exhausted and even went to Wang Zhifan asking for water.

"You're quite bold to ask."

Wang Zhifan didn't expect someone to covet the tea he brought from the Wuji Sect World, especially since the punishment mechanism of the copy had been lifted, and logically, players should be extremely cautious of each other.

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of being poisoned."

The female player then took another bag of tea that Wang Zhifan offered, uncorked it, and poured it into her mouth, displaying a vastly different persona from her previously quiet and introverted demeanor.

"Your strength is truly impressive; I initially thought you were surely doomed... Are you really just level 30?"

After drinking the tea, the female player asked Wang Zhifan with a look of surprise, seeming to doubt that a player of the same level could have such a superior strength compared to hers.

"What if I said I'm actually not level 30, would you believe me?"

Wang Zhifan's expression became a bit subtle with this question, considering his actual level was only 10. It wasn't anywhere near the reported level at the start of the copy, and now someone thinks his level might be far above 30, making it hard for him to resist retorting.

"Hmm... possibly... some people have extraordinary talent and very good luck."

Upon hearing him, the female player didn't appear too surprised; she then shook the tea bag in her hand, wondering what price she should pay Wang Zhifan for it.

"Consider this as a gift."

Wang Zhifan did not pay much attention to this aspect; he could get as much of such supplies as he wanted from the Wuji Sect World.

"You're a nice person; it seems you really didn't poison it."

Immediately, the female player sent an "approval card" to someone.

"But your strength should be the strongest among the players I've seen, so it shouldn't be an issue even if you act like a good person."

She continued to add.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Suddenly receiving an approval card, even if it wasn't the typical situation for one, Wang Zhifan still found it hard not to look confused. He glanced at the female player, asking her what her intentions were with these strange words.

"It's just a feeling..."

The woman looked at him and gently shook her head.

"If anyone else had your strength, this copy might be down to only one player... I've seen similar situations more than once; those people's strengths are far inferior to yours, yet they choose to be enemies with everyone for the sake of maximum benefit, even at the risk of facing punishment."

The female player in sportswear had some memories flash in her eyes, including pain and numbness, but mostly tranquility, just like she'd expressed before.

"No wonder you don't want to interact with others; you've encountered some issues that made you unwilling to trust anyone."

Upon hearing her out, Wang Zhifan suddenly understood her circumstances. Her level was likely around 30-plus, and she'd probably dealt with many more copies than he had, suggesting it was possible she'd run into some psychotic killer players.

"Haha... why do you assume I'm merely a spectator? Perhaps I'm the one opposing everyone?"

Upon hearing him, the female player's mouth curled slightly in a teasing manner.

At the same time, inside another train compartment, the cleanup work continued, but progress was not going smoothly.

"Captain, close the door! Quick!"

A man with multiple injuries rushed into the doorway, shouting at a woman behind the door.

"There are still people outside!"

The woman quickly responded with urgency, unwilling to abandon some of her companions.

"They must stay there as bait! Otherwise, if the ghost chases us, we'll all die! Close the door now!"

The man yelled in a hurry, while several brave black-robed ghosts outside were battling a fierce ghost, gradually falling into disadvantage.

...

In another compartment, a young man with dark circles under his eyes was holding two pistols, frantically shooting at a ghost resembling a red evil spirit ahead, the spirit body bullets leaving lid-sized holes in the ghost, which constantly changed forms and roared.

The ghost didn't chase after him because several black-robed individuals from Hell Academy were intercepting it, each having undergone academy modification into half-spirit bodies, which were capable of restraining most ghosts, and some elites were able to confront weaker ones, proving to be quite effective.

"Hold on a bit longer! It's about to give in to my attacks!"

The young man with dark circles shouted while safely engaging from afar, fearing that these useful ghosts might lose morale in the face of death. If so, he'd be directly facing the ghost's assault, drastically increasing his risk.

"It seems both ends of the 666 compartment had ghost-loaded cars? Looks like there were a lot of ghosts inside... It's possible the captain player has already been torn apart by the ghosts... Switching to this compartment was indeed a wise choice..."

Reflecting on how this compartment had fewer ghosts and committed NPC assistance, while recalling the previous scary and eerie 666 compartment, the player felt immensely pleased, believing his choice was exceedingly wise.

Similar sentiments were shared by two other players, Wang Zhifan's former teammates ─ the oily-faced middle-aged man and the cold-faced woman. Interestingly, these two players weren't in an antagonistic mode; instead, they were getting very close.

"Quickly block that guy! My magic is still being prepared!"

In the somewhat chaotic compartment, the oily-faced middle-aged man was hiding behind the cold-faced woman, using her as a cover for preparing magic.

"No problem! I can handle it!"

The cold-faced woman readily agreed and then activated a skill to charge ahead, using her shield to knock away a ghost of the entity type.

"These ghosts are really weak... far inferior to those in the previous compartment, albeit slightly more in number."

The oily-faced middle-aged man thought back as he used a red box to exert a strong attractive force controlling a nearby ghost, chanting a spell, summoning a mysterious claw to launch attacks everywhere. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that part of it was missing; the very same claw that had launched a sneak attack on Wang Zhifan some time ago!

"Our decision to change locations turned out correct. Had we stayed in the 666 compartment, we would have been overwhelmed by ghosts from both ends."

The cold-faced woman, who was blocking an entity-type ghost, still had the energy to daydream at this moment. By "us," she referred to herself and the oily-faced middle-aged man. In front of other players, they acted as if they didn't get along, but this was a facade; behind the scenes, they were steadfast allies focused on taking opportunities to exploit others. Otherwise, the oily-faced middle-aged man wouldn't have gone out of his way to rescue her during the blackout.

Yet just when the players leaving the 666 compartment thought Wang Zhifan had been cleaned out by the ghosts, those still fighting suddenly heard a broadcast from above:

"Announcement! The 666 compartment completed the cleanup task first! Furthermore, the number of cleanups in the compartment ranks highest among all compartments! The train team has decided to upgrade the 666 compartment to a luxury section! All members of the 666 compartment will be exempt from various train incidents, and the compartment captain will unlock special privileges..."

"What? That compartment has already been cleaned?! That's impossible!"

The young man with dark circles couldn't believe his ears at this moment. He hadn't yet dealt with his present enemies; how could the considerably more ghost-populated and dangerous 666 compartment complete its cleanup task before him? It was incomprehensible.

"That person is surprisingly strong?! I'm glad I held back at the time!"

The oily-faced middle-aged man in another compartment was equally stunned by the train's announcement. He had controlled the flashing claw to attack Wang Zhifan during the blackout, only to be easily countered, hence he knew Wang Zhifan was very capable, not someone to take lightly, but he didn't expect his strength to be even more extraordinary than anticipated.
