The players who were rapidly approaching the Third Station began to experience the consequences of the invincibility shield disappearing for the first time.
The non aggressive card wolves they had previously only seen from afar were now attacking the players' trains at every opportunity and destroying them.
Fortunately, between the First and Second Stations, the chance of encountering these wolves was very low, and multiple wolves did not appear at the same time.
But after people passed the Second Station, the wolves began to appear even in packs. Of course, by then, most players had already upgraded their trains at least once.
The moment players saw the snow wolves, they immediately filled the coal furnace completely and at the same time spent resources to repair the train so the wolves wouldn't destroy it.
Not everyone.
For example, Alice, who had recently doubled her own statistics on a sudden whim, was now strong enough to strangle a bull to death with her bare hands.
When she saw a wolf pack, she calmly got off the train and slaughtered them. Killing wolf packs usually left a chest behind.
After all the wolves were dead, Alice picked up the wooden chest that had fallen to the ground and opened it.
She thought that nothing important usually came out of chests at this level.
One second later, an old scroll appeared in Alice's hand.
Without thinking, Alice used her skill on the scroll and then began reading its properties.
[Slave Contract: E]
[You can use this contract to turn any living being with a total of 10 or less stats into a slave that will obey all of your commands. It does not work on slaves or players.]
As she looked at the old scroll, a sense of unease surfaced inside Alice, but she relaxed after learning that it couldn't be used on players.
...
After driving her train for a while longer, Alice was finally able to see the Third Station city from afar.
At this time, there were many rail lines around Alice's train.
As the train moved forward, hundreds and even thousands of rail lines merged together and became a single track.
Just then, the loud sound of another train reached Alice's ears.
Alice soon saw that her path would merge with another train coming from the side. Worse still, both trains were moving at similar speeds.
Narrowing her eyes, Alice looked at the train cutting through the snowstorm, then glanced at the station ahead.
If she slowed down now and gave way to the other person, she would lose the rewards for arriving at the station first.
The door of the other train opened, and a girl came out, holding onto the edge of the door while looking at Alice's train.
Alice looked at the wind blowing through the distant girl's long, split hair and calculated that they would collide soon.
The other girl had already stepped out onto her train's door to show that she had no intention of stopping. Even if she wanted to stop now, there wouldn't be enough time to go back inside and pull the brake lever.
Seeing this scene through the small square window, Alice clenched her teeth and was forced to slow down and stop her own train.
As she watched the train pass in front of her, Alice clenched her teeth and swore to take revenge on this girl. At the same time, there was undisguised lust in her eyes.
While Alice was already imagining how she would use her female identity to gain the girl's trust, the two trains entered the station one after the other, and a series of system screens appeared in front of Alice.
A few seconds later, Alice grinned as she looked at the information on the system screens.
In her eyes, this beautiful girl now had only two options. Either she would submit to her and be recruited as a member of the train crew, or Alice would destroy her train and forcibly take her captive.
While thinking about enslaving this beautiful girl, Alice also thought that the girl was lucky to be targeted by her. According to Alice, if this beautiful girl had become the slave of a male player, what would happen to her would be far worse.
After the beautiful girl's train stopped in the city center, the girl got off, and the rails beneath the train suddenly moved, carrying the train down into the city's underground parking area.
Alice saw this scene, guided her own train to the same place, then got off and ran toward the skyscraper after the girl.
...
While Alice followed the beautiful girl with a charming smile, trying to get to know her, Leo heard the sound of trains entering the city. He opened his sleepy eyes and took another sip from the high caffeine coffee on the table.
At this moment, the convenience store at the top of the skyscraper had completely changed. The one sided curtain had turned into a blanket and wrapped itself around Leo's body. The table where Leo conducted his trade and the surrounding area were filled with messy piles of paper.
Leo had truly worked extremely hard to prevent the system from locking itself.
He had read the product quality related pages of the massive user manual on the table multiple times and had to write the conditions for obtaining the 'Spendthrift' title in hundreds of different ways.
In the end, Leo had succeeded, but immediately afterward, he had fallen asleep.
When Leo looked at the three page intelligence document filled with writing in front of him, he felt like he had recovered fifty percent from his lack of sleep.
While trying to comply with all of the system's rules, the paper had become completely filled with absurd and irrelevant information, but to the system, this information was neither absurd nor irrelevant.
For example, telling the person receiving the information that if they committed suicide while spending three consecutive nights in the VIP houses, they would lose the right to obtain the 'Spendthrift' title was considered an extremely important detail by the system. For Leo, it could be summed up simply as who wouldn't be able to guess something like that?
