Master of Kaidan-Chapter 566: Things to Know About Taking a Ride

Feng Xue bought a travel guide and a timetable for the K7 tourist train from a newsstand inside the station and arrived in front of the train ten minutes later. If anyone could hear his thoughts, they would consist solely of profanities that only people from Yan Country could fully grasp.

Had he not obtained some intelligence from Kukulcan beforehand, it never would have occurred to him to buy a travel guide.

Yet this very thing contained the deepest malice of the Kaidan.

"Rule-based Kaidan, and it’s a rule-based Kaidan with clear regulations at that; this is much more troublesome than blindly muddling through the hell of school."

As he flipped through the travel guide in his hands, Feng Xue searched for his carriage. According to the guide, the hard seat, soft sleeper, and hard sleeper carriages each had different Kaidan rules, and in the few remaining minutes, he needed to decide which one he’d ride in.

The travel guide and the timetable stated that the K7 train was an international tourist train that traversed three major countries, with a total journey of seven days and seven nights and fifty-six stops, focusing on tourism and sightseeing.

All this seemed quite normal, but as a transmigrator who had lived through the era when the Zoo Kaidan was explosively popular, he sensed a thick malice from the passenger instructions at the back of the guide.

Starting with the hard seat, there was no need to go into detail; the journey of seven days and nights, with more than sixty seats in each carriage, coupled with the timetable marked in the guide, it all pointed to a struggle for survival slots. Add in the passengers who would continue to board later, and it was nothing short of a voyage of death.

The hard sleeper was a bit better but not by much; it also came with many rules specific to sleeper berths.

As for the soft sleeper, on the surface, it seemed like the best choice with only four compartments in a carriage, totaling sixteen berths. But, considering common sense, such preferential treatment likely came with greater difficulty.

"If I’d known this was the setup, I’d have bought up all the berths in a whole carriage."

Feng Xuexin muttered to himself but didn’t intend to go back for a ticket change. Not to mention that there was not enough time left even to queue jump, the main issue was, unless this train service was extremely unpopular, the likelihood of finding an entire empty carriage was not high. Or rather, if an entire empty carriage were truly a possibility, the train wouldn’t be equipped with so many sleeper berths.

"There are 5 minutes left until the departure of the K7 train. Ticket checks are about to Stop. Passengers boarding the train, please hurry; those seeing off, please step back behind the white line. Thank you for your cooperation."

As the station announcement sounded, Feng Xue took a deep breath and eventually chose the soft sleeper—

He had no needs for sleep quality but what stuck in his memory from Kukulcan’s information was the characteristics of the monsters he encountered.

According to him, these monsters had basic Attributes on par with ordinary people, but with disgusting attributes like defense-breaking and healing prohibition. Although the two entered different instances, since both were Layer Master assessments, they must be testing some kind of "potential" or "method." Therefore, even if the instances were different, the essence of the assessments should share some commonalities.

In this case, there shouldn’t be options with too large a disparity in difficulty, and if the assumption was that the difficulty of the three types of seats was roughly equivalent, the significance of choice should lie in the balance of difficulty.

For example, the hard seat might translate to a large quantity but low individual combat power, while the soft sleeper would be a smaller quantity with a higher individual combat power, with hard sleeper sitting somewhere between the two.

Of course, this was just reasoning from the "passengers=monsters" thought process. Given the lack of information, Feng Xue felt he should still choose the angle he was more adept at. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

...

Finding his compartment, Feng Xue knocked on the door gently, and indeed, there were already three passengers in the room.

All three were young; although Feng Xue regarded them as above-average in looks, in reality, only one was dressed in distinctly feminine clothing, the remaining two tended toward androgyny.

Perhaps because it was a tourist train, the sleeping berths were well-designed and looked clean, overall displaying a blue and white color scheme, equipped with air conditioning, with both upper and lower berths having windows that allowed passengers to look directly outside. And in the middle of the bed, the table was also a bit larger.

Seeing that both lower berths were taken, Feng Xue recalled the travel brochure without saying anything. She deftly climbed onto the upper berth that didn’t have any luggage on it and didn’t interact with the three people who were chatting awkwardly; instead, she immersed herself in flipping through the travel brochure.

The three people below seemed unfamiliar with each other. Seeing the last passenger behaving in such a manner obviously made them more embarrassed. They exchanged a few more strained conversations and then fell silent.

Feng Xue lay on her side on the bed, her gaze sweeping over the three people below, her eyes slightly cold because she couldn’t hear the thoughts of these three.

"Is it due to a reason similar to the time perception override from the rear chamber, or are these three not human?"

Feng Xue muttered to herself in her mind but did not test them out. Instead, she concentrated and reexamined the soft sleeper carriage boarding instructions in her hands—

1. All train attendants on this train wear blue uniforms. You can call them by pressing the button next to your bed if needed.

2. Please refrain from smoking in areas other than the designated smoking areas. If you find any passengers smoking, please report to the train attendants immediately.

3. Since this train will pass through nature reserves, to avoid disturbing the local ecology, lights will be turned off after midnight. To prevent accidents, please do not use mobile phones or lighting devices from midnight to five in the morning.

4. Since there might be wildlife outside the train windows, please do not randomly open the windows or attempt to feed any animals. If you violate this rule, you will bear the consequences.

5. All toilet doors will be locked when the train stops. Please leave the toilet before the train stops.

6. The attendants’ working hours are from seven in the morning until ten at night. Please do not call the train attendants outside of working hours.

7. This train will provide water and food between seven to nine in the morning, eleven to one in the afternoon, and five to seven in the evening. Passengers in need can purchase items from the attendants.

8. Please dispose of all trash in the red trash bins. The attendants will take care of it regularly.

9. This train is scheduled to stop at specific scenic areas. Please do not disembark without a broadcast announcement.

10. Although the nighttime scenery is beautiful, for your physical and mental health, please try to fall asleep before one in the morning.

11. Please maintain a good relationship between upper and lower berth passengers to ensure a pleasant mood during the train ride.

...

"So, don’t interact with any attendants not wearing blue, use the button to call attendants, smoking passengers might be problematic, using lights at night can be dangerous, opening windows might let certain things in, don’t just go to the toilet, don’t call the attendants or buy food outside designated times, don’t throw trash into bins that aren’t red, not sleeping before one in the morning might lead to trouble... Moreover, the emphasis on upper and lower berths, does that mean there might be berths below the lower ones and possibly above the upper ones?"

Feng Xue roughly translated the so-called carriage regulations in her mind. It might be troublesome for ordinary people, but for a transmigrator who doesn’t need to eat or use the toilet, it was unexpectedly easy.

"However, I need to consider if other people breaking the rules might affect me if we’re in the same room, and..." Feng Xue frowned, looking at the travel itinerary in the brochure.

"Going to Snow Country in the dead of winter to see snow, I need to make sure to stay warm too..."
