As the thought flashed through his mind, Luo Yiming pulled out a white cloth from his pocket. The cloth was stained with copious amounts of dried, blackened blood, and an eerie, chilling aura wafted from the stains…

At the same time, he silently activated the exclusive skill of this tool, preparing to instantaneously “Flash” and take down Colin.

He was going to make him understand what it meant to respect senior employees!

However, just as he was about to make his move, his expression suddenly changed, and his body froze…

Simultaneously, Colin’s calm yet spine-chilling voice came through:

“What do you intend to do?”

“Uh… nothing. I just noticed the carriage floor was a bit dirty and took it out to wipe it…” Luo Yiming said, his face awkward with the blood-stained white cloth in hand.

Who would believe that? I clearly felt your malicious intent… Colin wasn’t quite sure why the other’s momentum had vanished so suddenly, but he maintained his expressionless demeanor and said, “No need to clean the floor…

“Now, go sit in the carriage up front. Don’t make me say it again.”

“Sure, sure, heading there now…”

Luo Yiming forced a laugh, tucked away the white cloth, and walked toward the front carriage while calling up the information he had obtained in his mind with the “Book of Fate: Fragment.”

[Subject to such humiliation, it’s unbearable. You’ve decided to teach these youngsters a lesson about how strong the veterans in the company really are!]

[“False God’s Shroud,” sinister thoughts from the past heed your will…]

[Your first Talent, “Tyrant Body: Standard Edition,” has endowed you with the terrifying physical constitution to face a dump truck head-on…]

[Your second Talent, “Steel Claws,” has endowed you with the sharpness to easily tear through materials with a hardness level below seven…]

[“Explorer’s Coat” provided you with the protection equivalent to a Third Level bulletproof vest…]

[“Spatial Hourglass” exclusive skill “Swap” activated!]

[With your current strength, how could you tolerate such humiliation?]

[Experienced as you are, you prepared for the tasks mentioned above within a second, and you charged forward!]

[You were instantly killed.]

[You don’t know what happened. All you know is, by the time you realized it, you had already become a pool of slime on the ground, being scorched by flames…]

[Your so-called ‘D Level Constitution’ and various skills were nothing in front of the other…]

…

“Damn, what kind of monster can one-shot me with all this gear on?” Luo Yiming thought incredulously as he moved toward the front car.

His body swelled uncomfortably due to some negative aftereffects from using the “Book of Fate: Fragment,” as if he had been forcefully stuffed with something.

Especially at the lower back area, it felt particularly uncomfortable like something had pricked him there.

Apart from the shock, there was also a sense of relief that he had used the “Book of Fate: Fragment” before making a move.

Otherwise, he really would have been dead…

“Damn, he’s actually ruthless. I was just about to teach him a lesson and he just instantly killed me without a word, too ruthless…” Luo Yiming grumbled as he rubbed his lower back, developing a deep wariness towards Colin and took a seat.

As for the mountain of corpses that had been frozen in front…

He twitched his nose, sniffed, and didn’t detect anything too abnormal. It seemed to be just ordinary corpses, but the cold aura from the bodies was somewhat odd, likely the result of extraordinary means.

Besides, there were also some original inhabitants of the “Mist Train” in this carriage…

“No big problem, I just don’t know who that guy is from the company. He’s so powerful. Could it be Cute Duo? Or Two-Faced, or… no, none of those guys who chat in the group all day should have the ability to one-shot me.”

Luo Yiming contemplated as he sat down.

But before his rear could touch the seat, he suddenly heard that man’s voice again: “What power did you just use?”

Colin’s nose twitched, catching a familiar scent – “Beast Transformation Syndrome.”

He was instantly alarmed, wondering if the syndrome had indeed begun to spread on Earth, but the next second, he felt that the scent of the “Beast Transformation Syndrome” was a bit too… clean.

Hearing Colin’s question, Luo Yiming hesitated for a moment, but eventually replied, “Tyrant Body.”

The intel on this thing isn’t exactly top secret at the company…

After all, there were a hundred copies in total, and not everyone could keep a secret.

‘Tyrant Body… So that’s what it is… Gave me quite the scare.’

Colin recalled that it was a reward from his “Choose Your Own Trial Task,” a task so brutal that it nearly killed people, yet they kept participating, all for one reason—it boasted a Purple-colored Talent.

He hadn’t expected that, in less than ten days, the task had already been completed, though he didn’t know how many people had finished it.

Colin muttered to himself, then listened as Luo Yiming suddenly began to laugh and said, “Hehe, you seem clueless about this? Looks like you might have missed the task… not knowing…”

Luo Yiming briefly explained about the release of the “World Code-13” task.

When mentioning Colin’s alias “Unnamed123456,” he couldn’t help but grind his teeth with resentment, “That guy cost me so many Points and made me suffer so much, I had to come out and take on tasks myself. When I meet him one day… I must slap him in the face.”

If anyone was currently the most hated person in the company, it had to be “Unnamed123456.”

The entire company had been tormented to near death by the “World Code-13” Trial Task, especially by that final Corps named “The Classic of Mountains and Seas,” the Fourth Corps “Great Yi” which nearly shattered his Dao with a slap descending from the sky before its approach…

Dammit, it was the last minute, and that slap had almost broken him.

In his dreams during those few days, his mind was filled with that azure slap falling from the sky…

But luckily, after several attempts, he finally caught up with the last few and managed to get the exclusive Talent reward.

However, just as he finished speaking and before he could relish the sweet taste of success after hardship, he felt a vague sense of danger. It came quickly and left quickly, so he didn’t pay much attention and passed it off as an illusion.

At the same time, as if something dawned on him, he laughed and said, “Speaking of which, ‘Tyrant Body’ looks like it’s going to be Reset in a couple days, and you can exchange for the Purple-colored Talent once again. Wanna buy a walkthrough from me?”

“A walkthrough?”

“Yeah, six thousand Points. I can tell you later how to get through it, the details of each key point, what to watch out for. With your ability, it should be a breeze to finish, and you might even get the ‘Limited Edition.’ But this time after the Reset, only the first one will have the ‘Limited Edition’…”

Six thousand Points? Are you trying to rob me? And how do you know my strength?

Colin was puzzled for a moment, then recalling the other party’s sudden cowardly behavior, he guessed that they must have used the “Book of Fate: Fragment” to foresee they couldn’t win, hence the retreat.

He just didn’t know how much he had revealed about himself…

As for the “Limited Edition” mentioned by the other party, Colin had no interest in it.

Because compared to his own, the Limited Edition was just a neutered version…

Without dwelling on it too much, he inquired about the “Choose Your Own Trial Copy,” learning that the rewards were already claimed.

And many things had been changed afterward…

For example, the final savior would no longer be the “Zoo’s” First Corps, but rather it might be the “The Classic of Mountains and Seas,” “Kingdom of Light,” “Holy Fire,” and the like.

The names that came up in this phase seemed to be random…

“Are these Corps real, or are they just fabrications by Miss Bunny to cover things up?”

Colin wondered inwardly, suspecting that there was probably more than one “Corps,” but he wasn’t sure if these were among them.

But he didn’t think too hard about it, instead curious about how many copies had been sold in his absence and how many Points he had earned.

After all, he was quite broke after coming out this time.

Too bad it seemed pointless to ask the other person.

After declining Luo Yiming’s offer to sell the “walkthrough,” Colin casually asked about the situation at Bonfire Company, relieved to learn that the world hadn’t ended yet.

Because now it was certain that something from “The Seventh Box Garden World” had slipped into the real world.

“Oh right, speaking of significant events, there’s something I forgot to mention… A few days back when I took on this task, the Parchment seemed to have gone through a ‘Maintenance.’ The ‘Maintenance’ was supposedly about dealing with an invader or something, it was halted for a day. Of course, what exactly happened in the end isn’t clear, but now there’s an issue with the ‘Character Biography’ feature, which you’ll find out about as soon as you leave…”

Luo Yiming mentioned casually, it was neither a major nor a minor issue because it didn’t really affect them, but such “Maintenance” was a first…

“Maintenance, eh…”

Colin asked for the exact time; it seemed to coincide with the day they were transferred.

He instantly realized that this might be related to the creature that escaped…

However, due to a lack of understanding of the other party, he couldn’t figure out the current situation and thought that only by contacting Miss Bunny would he know the details…

And before he could ponder any longer, after traveling for more than two hours, the train whistle blew again.

This signified another station was approaching…
