Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead-Chapter 90: Train of the Century (10)

Qi An was slightly stunned.

But then he regained his composure and realized that while he had no items left, he still had the Rules! This was a small but crucial advantage in this predicament.

“Fortunately, Rules can’t be stolen, right?”

Qi An hurriedly opened his menu and checked his Rule Points.

Luckily, his Rule Points were still intact. Otherwise, he’d have truly doubted his chances of survival.

“Wuuu… brother, I was wrong. Can we…?” Qi An trembled in fear, tears involuntarily streaming down his face.

“Seems like you can’t produce them.”

Bai Lian shook his head with a helpless expression. “I wanted to give you a chance, but you didn’t take it!”

Shhhk!

Splat!

A perfectly good head exploded like a watermelon, red and white splattering across the floor.

“How pitiful. Aside from this item, nothing valuable. Only 10,000 Rule Points.”

A small black object resembling a car key appeared in Bai Lian’s hand, a button on its surface.

This was the item Qi An had used to escape earlier — an S-class tool. Pressing the button boosted speed fivefold, though only for a few minutes. Enough to escape danger… unless facing Bai Lian.

Though the loot was meager, it was better than nothing.

Besides the key, Bai Lian’s interest was piqued by two mannequin dolls.

One depicted a young man with parted hair, the other a short-haired girl. They had limited uses left — clearly, Qi An had relied on these dolls for dungeon navigation.

“I think I received a doll as a reward once too?” Bai Lian suddenly recalled a past dungeon clear. Back then, he’d been too busy to even inspect it properly.

Well, rewards piled up faster than he could manage.

“These dolls only mimic a player’s breathing. No combat power — just good for fooling the naive.” Bai Lian glanced at the item descriptions and sighed.

Less useful than his Shadow Sovereign’s true form. The kind of loot that’s “not worth keeping, but a waste to discard.”

He’d hold onto them for now. After clearing the dungeon, he’d auction them off. Someone would bite.

After collecting all items, Bai Lian began ransacking the supermarket. With unlimited inventory space, leaving anything behind would be idiotic.

He lived by “take everything you can” — even these mundane supplies had to be worth a few Rule Points.

All in all, the supermarket’s materials totaled a few hundred thousand Rule Points in value. While only usable personally, saving money was still saving money.

Beyond materials, Bai Lian found no useful clues in the carriage.

Half an hour later, he’d stripped the carriage bare.

Approaching the passageway, Bai Lian activated his ability, scrambling the carriage’s interior.

He didn’t restore it to normal — doing so might’ve helped other players progress faster. Such “charity” might fly in the real world, but in the Mysterious World? Better not!

The only charity Bai Lian ever offered was “helping” others through loans.

Stepping into the corridor, he opened the door and entered Car 19.

“Listen, I’m telling you, yesterday…”

“Sweetie, stop running! Sit and eat!”

“Whose child is this? Watch them, don’t let them wander off!”

…

The moment Bai Lian entered, laughter flooded his ears.

Before him sprawled a grand dining car. Well-dressed passengers chatted amiably, their expressions perfectly normal — no trace of Anomalies.

This carriage felt utterly ordinary.

As Bai Lian stepped inside, a few glances turned his way but soon shifted back to conversations.

The air smelled of food. Warmth drifted from ceiling vents, wrapping the space in cozy comfort.

Yet Bai Lian’s intuition screamed: This place isn’t normal. The atmosphere was too starkly different from the previous carriage.

“Good day, sir. Welcome to Century Restaurant. What would you like to order?”

A melodic voice interrupted his thoughts.

Turning, Bai Lian saw a blue-uniformed attendant smiling at him.

Her waterfall of dark hair cascaded over shoulders, skin porcelain-pale with a rosy tint. Deep eyes beneath long lashes seemed to pull one into their gaze.

Her lips curved in a gentle smile, warm as spring sunlight.

Judging by prior intel, this was likely a train conductor — NPCs crucial for dungeon progression. Their assistance often proved vital for mission success.

Considering this, Bai Shen smiled slightly and nodded. “I’ll have coffee. Do you serve coffee here?”

“We do, sir. Please take a seat. It’ll be ready shortly,” the girl replied warmly.

Bai Shen nodded, finding a two-seat table in the corner and sitting to observe the crowd.

Moments later, the girl returned with two coffee cups.

“Sir, your coffee.”

Bai Shen eyed the twin cups curiously. “Running a promotion? Buy one, get one free?”

The girl — midway to sitting opposite him — paused awkwardly. “Um… sure. But are you certain you can drink both?”

The hint couldn’t be clearer.

“Don’t worry. I’ll manage both.” Bai Shen smiled, pulling the cups closer and sipping from the one nearest the girl.

It tasted nothing like Butler David’s brew. Missing that jasmine aroma… Bai Shen grimaced slightly. “You might want to adjust your brewing method. The flavor’s… unique.”

The girl flushed, forcing a smile. “That’s… my personal blend.”

Bai Shen feigned surprise, rubbing his nose to hide a lie. “Actually, it grows on you. Flat at first, but the aftertaste blooms. Mmm…”

Silence.

Bai Shen swiftly changed subjects — or rather, cut to the chase: “Why haven’t you left yet?”

【Ahahaha! Master of conversation!】

【Conductor girl sits across him, and he asks why she’s still here?!】

【Bai Shen — the ultimate conversation ender!】

【“I’m a passenger drinking coffee. You’re staff. Why are you sitting?” — Bai Shen logic!】

【This is art. Singles, take notes!】

【See? He makes it look effortless!】

The girl: …

“Aren’t you curious why I’m sitting here?” she asked incredulously, her expression screaming this is absurd.
