2: So simple

As the words fell.

A sound like a coin dropping into a vending machine echoed in Wang Feng's mind.

Then, the system prompt sounded—

"Host, use a CP Coin (Green) on Dai Yingying!"

The next moment!

Wang Feng felt a sudden dizzy spell.

Before he could react, his eyes went black, and he fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in front of a soft, large white bed.

The surroundings were spacious and bright, and a relaxing scent permeated the air.

"Where... is this place?"

The system replied—

"This is CP Space."

"Each time you use a CP Coin, you and the target Attendant will be forcibly teleported here."

"Please rest assured, Host, this place is completely isolated from the outside world. After you arrive in CP Space, outside time will enter a static state."

"When you leave, time will continue to flow."

CP Space?

Time stop?!

Sounds pretty awesome!

"What can CP Space be used for, then?"

The system replied again—

"CP Space is a place for you and the target Attendant to cultivate your relationship."

"Without your invitation, no one can enter."

"When the target Attendant leaves CP Space, their memories during that time will be sealed."

"Upon returning to CP Space again, the memories will be reactivated."

To be honest,

Wang Feng was completely uninterested in any of this.

He just wanted to eat his fill and drink water to his heart's content!

Just then, space twisted above the white bed, and then a graceful figure fell heavily.

"Ah—" It was Dai Yingying.

Dai Yingying rubbed her bottom and looked around in surprise.

"Where is this?"

Soon, she noticed Wang Feng.

"And who are you?" She frowned, her expression icy.

"Although I don't know how you brought me here, daring to lay hands on an Attendant means you're dead!"

Then, she glared fiercely at Wang Feng.

But—

One second... two seconds... three seconds... nothing happened.

Seeing Wang Feng still standing there perfectly fine, Dai Yingying panicked a little.

"Eh?"

"What's going on?"

"Why aren't you dead?"

Yeah, why aren't I dead?

Wang Feng didn't know either.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded.

The system chattered on and on, but in short, it was one word.

Fight!

Come on, system!

Translate for me, what the hell is a CP Coin?!

Ah, so this is what a CP Coin is!

Wang Feng closed his eyes.

At this moment, his stomach was empty; he just wanted to eat his fill and drink enough water.

But without Dai Yingying's special privilege, the Points in his pocket weren't enough to buy even a bottle of water.

So, no need for more words!

..."Congratulations, Host, for completing an extraordinary performance!"

"Affection +10!"

After the performance ended, Wang Feng returned to the carriage.

Dai Yingying, not far away, also swayed slightly and blinked, clearly a little confused.

All memories from the dp space were sealed.

So she had no idea what outrageous things Wang Feng had done to her.

Fortunately, as an Attendant, her physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people.

After all that, she merely felt a bit of backache.

Wang Feng ignored Dai Yingying's condition and eagerly checked her information.

[Target: Dai Yingying (Green)]

[Identity: Train Z2425, exclusive Salesperson for Carriage No. 80 to No. 89]

[Exclusive Privilege: Shop Upgrade (Current Discount: +1)]

[Affection: 10/100 (Status: Acquaintance)]

[CP Coin Uses: 1]

[Do you want to use a CP Coin on Dai Yingying?]

Good, good, good!

One CP Coin increased affection by 10 Points!

Thanks to the Vitality Physique gifted in the grand package!

However, for Carriage No. 83, which had suffered five consecutive defeats, the Shop level was [-5].

Even with one level added, it was still [-4], and Wang Feng still couldn't afford a meal.

No!

Must continue!

So, Wang Feng ignored his fatigue, took a deep breath, and once again issued a command to the system.

"I want to use a CP Coin on Dai Yingying!"

The familiar feeling swept over him again—

When Wang Feng opened his eyes, he was once again back in the familiar dp space.

Dai Yingying also landed on the soft, fluffy large bed again.

"Eh?!"

"This... what's going on?!"

She looked around in a panic, then met Wang Feng's eyes.

Then—

The sealed memories were completely unfrozen.

Dai Yingying's face turned pale, her pupils trembled violently, and her lips began to quiver.

"You—"

"Don't come over here—"

...After an unknown amount of time.

When Wang Feng used up his last CP Coin and returned to the carriage from CP Space, he felt completely drained.

As if he had just run a long marathon.

Fortunately, he had Vitality Physique.

However, the further he went, the faster his condition deteriorated, and 10 CP Coins ultimately only gained him 50 Points of affection.

Wang Feng wiped the sweat from his face and checked Dai Yingying's information.

[Target: Dai Yingying (Green)]

[Identity: Train Z2425, exclusive Salesperson for Carriage No. 80 to No. 89]

[Exclusive Privilege: Shop Upgrade (Current Discount: +5)]

[Affection: 50/100 (Status: Likes)]

[CP Coin Uses: 10]

[Do you want to use a CP Coin on Dai Yingying?]

The Shop privilege offset the losing streak penalty.

Opening the Shop interface, the prices of goods returned to their original levels.

Mineral water, 10 Points per bottle.

Instant noodles, 20 Points per cup.

A bento box with one meat and one vegetable, 100 Points per serving.

And Wang Feng had enough Points to eat and drink without worry!

Although he had awakened the system, he still had to exert physical effort in the end, but at least he had a chance to live!

Wang Feng brushed the dirt off himself and walked up to Dai Yingying.

"I'd like a bento box and a bottle of water."

Dai Yingying had just returned from CP Space, feeling weak and dizzy all over.

After hearing Wang Feng's voice, she froze for a moment.

"Ah!"

"S-sorry."

But when her gaze focused on Wang Feng's face, her heart suddenly clenched.

An unprecedented flutter arose in her chest.

Her heart pounded, and her breathing quickened.

A blush spread across her cheeks.

"Ah~ it's Brother Wang Feng~" A soft voice drifted out, with a hint of tired hoarseness, "Please wait a moment, Brother~ Yingying will get it for you right away~"

50 Points of affection was quite effective.

You see, in the eyes of the Attendants, all Survivors were mere swine, the lowest of beings!

No matter how high their Shop level, no matter how strong their power, in front of an Attendant, they were nothing more than infants wielding sticks.

At this moment, Attendant Dai Yingying's attitude and address towards Wang Feng had undergone a 180-degree reversal.

This subservience and intimacy had never been seen on any train before.

Perhaps this system, besides granting Attendant privileges, could bring him more benefits.

Just as Wang Feng was about to take the bento box.

Dai Yingying, however, smiled sweetly, and her delicate little hand restlessly touched the back of his hand.

"Brother Wang Feng~"

"Look around you."

"These Survivors haven't eaten in a long time; their eyes are green with hunger."

"If Brother Wang Feng takes out a bento box now, I'm worried they'll rush to snatch it."

"How about... we go to my Lounge?"

"It's quiet there, has hot water for bathing, and a TV to relieve boredom~"

"Brother Wang Feng~ want to come?"

Wang Feng looked around.

The people huddled in the corners were looking at him with greedy, malicious eyes.

Blatant malice assaulted him.

Dai Yingying was an Attendant, so they naturally wouldn't dare to act.

But Wang Feng was a Survivor just like them.

Once Dai Yingying left, these starved beasts would definitely pounce on him to snatch things immediately.

So, Wang Feng agreed.

Dai Yingying smiled sweetly, swaying her slender waist and hips.

"Brother Wang Feng~ you must keep holding Yingying's waist~"

"The carriage is completely sealed; as a Survivor, you can't leave without an Attendant leading the way."

"So, don't let go until we reach the Lounge~"
