Chapter 354 - 354 352 Mysterious Person on the Train_1

Chapter 354: Chapter 352 Mysterious Person on the Train_1 Chapter 354: Chapter 352 Mysterious Person on the Train_1 Colin was facing such a difficult enemy for the first time, the only consolation was that the other party had no malice…

After that battle, his slightly inflated ego had been hammered down, and sometimes even when he slept and dreamt, he could feel a fist smashing towards him, sending him flying ten meters away.

Of course, although the battle was a bit tough, luckily, the outcome was a draw.

However, most company members, except for a very few, didn’t know about “The Light Chaser”, so they were surprised when they heard Colin speak up.

“I’m telling you, no exaggeration, let’s not talk about anything else, but you’ve always done the ‘World Code-13′ self-selected mission, right? You know the difficulty of that, how many of us didn’t die ten or eight times to get through, and someone else cleared it on the first try…”

“Yeah, yeah, if I get the chance, I’d go kneel and carry a sedan chair to bring them over…”

“Me too…”

Watching this group of people start to boast, Colin shook his head, he also had no immediate desire to reveal his identity.

It wasn’t because he wanted to hide his strength, but given the current situation, once he revealed his identity, these people would probably really become “bystanders”, which would not be conducive for their future growth.

Since the team already had a mature approach, he might as well give it a try…

If he could get through it, then great, if not, then he would deal with it.

“I’ve already changed my name, so my luck shouldn’t be that bad.”

Colin closed the group chat and then looked for “Lifecoach Kawaii-many”, hoping to get some more information from him, since in the past two years, only this group had definitely reached the fifth stage.

He wasn’t sure about the others, but he only knew this one.

He glanced at his remaining number of messages and drafted a message to send over.

Unlike those employees who could speak freely, for some reason, when his number of messages exceeded a certain amount, he felt very endangered…

The only one who probably knew why was “Lady Bunny”.

It was also her who had told him about the message restrictions…

Meanwhile, “Lifecoach Kawaii-many”, who seemed to always be lurking in the company’s internal chat feature, replied in less than a minute.

“Eh, who are you? Wait, are you Brother Shunzi? Did you finally change your name? No wonder I haven’t seen you lately.”

Lifecoach was initially surprised at having a friend with an unfamiliar ID, but he quickly identified the person through some records.

He just didn’t expect that Brother Shunzi, who hadn’t changed his name in ages, had actually done so, he thought he would use that name for a lifetime.

But he didn’t dwell on it too much.

He read the message and then immediately recalled the experiences on “The Disordered Ghost Train”.

“This mission as a whole, belongs to the higher difficulty among D Level missions, of course, this is in comparison to the average employee, but for you, it shouldn’t be a big problem, at least clearing three parts should be doable…”

“Besides, each time the mission starts, the enemies are random, even if you’re lucky to encounter the same group as before, it’s useless because their props and equipment are most likely different from the last time.”

“This also leads to different combat tactics from the enemy, using the experience from last time might just make your defeat look slightly less terrible.”

“I reckon this is the company’s way to train us to adapt to varying situations.”

“However, there are still some clues, there’s a fixed strategy which is to drag it out, and then consider adapting to the randomness. Honestly, if it weren’t for the ability to drag them out until they lose their minds, I guess even if our D Level team went back, even just to fight a random team, it would be difficult to win…”

“The D Level on the train is a bit different from us, their combat experience is frighteningly rich. They can utilize their tools very proficiently, frankly speaking, we’re like flowers in a greenhouse in comparison.”

“Then there’s the matter with the fifth car, there’s something a bit different from what everyone thinks…”

“Almost our entire team was wiped out, we didn’t really clear it in the true sense.”

“…”

Not really clearing it in the true sense… Colin was taken aback, what did that mean?

He sent a “?” over.

“Back then, our team’s props by chance were quite restraining to them, which allowed us to drag on without injury. So we started by dragging it out for thirty minutes, which let us clear it relatively easily, to the point of being overly optimistic.”

“But after clearing the third car, the difficulty spiked suddenly. We barely managed to get through the fourth and were about to give up when the mission alert said that only after clearing sections 3, 5, 9, and 12 would the mission be settled.”

“Oh right, there’s one thing, starting from the third car if any props get damaged, they are really damaged, so you’ve got to be careful.”

“At that time, we had no choice but to continue fighting. Just as we got to the fifth level, we didn’t last long before those guys smashed our protective equipment, and we couldn’t even counterattack because the enemies’ aggression was no weaker. One of our members attempted to strike, only to be torn to shreds…”

“In the end, we endured. After staggering for over an hour… I vaguely remember something coming from another car to assist us, which barely counted as clearing it.”

Reflecting on the past, “Lifecoach Kawaii-many” still felt a tremor in his heart.

After that battle, almost all the tools in their hands were nearly wrecked…

Not to mention the others, even he had several pieces of green gear torn apart, and his purple gear went from being 90% intact to just twenty-something percent, it had only been repaired to 60% so far, and its overall performance was down by more than ten percent from the start.

…

‘Assistance from something else…’

Colin focused on this sentence, feeling that his bad premonition was somewhat coming true; there really was something hidden within.

He immediately inquired about that thing, but unfortunately, “Lifecoach Kawaii-many” said he didn’t know, as they were all in a bad condition at the time and couldn’t figure out what it was.

They didn’t even know from where this powerful supporter came.

A mysterious altruistic supporter?

Muttering quietly, Colin seemed to remember something, “Wait a second… When he assisted you, did he ask you to pay him points or something like that?”

“No.”

Then it wasn’t “The Light Chaser” after all.

If it were him, these people would have lost more than just their equipment; they would probably have to pay with everything they owned.

‘But thinking back on it, they most likely couldn’t have afforded his exorbitant fees anyway, oh, but maybe…’

Colin remembered that guy’s fees could also be put on a tab, you could first rack up a massive debt and slowly pay it off later.

And while he was pondering, he suddenly thought of something—

Despite knowing so much, why had no one mentioned the only “C” level person on that train?

Weren’t the train’s staff supposed to rotate among the dozen or so cars?
