20: The second dungeon, a points-grabbing map!

"Haha! Boss!" Zhang Qiang's face was full of excitement.

"That move of yours was absolutely brilliant! You actually called the deputy car commander over!"

Wang Hao's face was also glowing with joy.

"Boss, we just slashed eighty thousand Points in one go and even crippled Deng Ran from the Flint Squad."

"Your reputation is probably going to be completely established within the First Sequence!"

The team members were praising him enthusiastically.

However, Wang Feng did not let this go to his head.

He leaned to the side, constantly reviewing the details of this confrontation.

"Actually, winning this time was largely due to luck."

"If any minor slip-up had occurred in the middle—for example, if the opponent had noticed Zhang Yuqi's movements or realized my intentions—I would have lost."

Wang Feng's judgment was correct.

Before the competition began, Wang Feng had used techniques and psychological suggestions over and over to mislead Deng Ran and Ke Yutang.

He deliberately made Deng Ran nervous and intentionally caused Ke Yutang to miscalculate.

But those were all psychological tactics outside the game itself.

In the face of an absolute power gap, any slight miscalculation would lead to unbearable consequences.

This time was like licking blood from the edge of a blade.

He might not be so lucky next time.

"So, we need to work harder."

"At the very least, we need to raise our carriage Shop to around Level 3."

Zhang Qiang, Wang Hao, and the third member thumped their chests.

"Don't worry, Boss! No problem!"

Wang Feng nodded and called them over to his side.

"Earning so many Points from Ke Yutang this time was thanks to your contributions."

"Merit must be rewarded."

"In a moment, I'll divide the Points among you."

"We got a total of eighty thousand Points; you'll each get ten thousand."

Zhang Yuqi was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Qiang, Wang Hao, and the other man also looked at each other.

"Boss, we don't want it!"

"Exactly, these Points were won by your own skill, Boss. How can we take them?"

Zhang Yuqi even stepped forward and firmly gripped Wang Feng's hand.

"Master, these are your Points."

"You should use them for yourself."

Wang Feng smiled and patted the back of Zhang Yuqi's hand.

Then, he looked around at Zhang Qiang and the other two.

"You all put your lives on the line."

"Without you, the bet wouldn't have happened."

"You have merit, so there must be a reward."

"Besides, if I had lost, you would have died with me."

"Taking such a big risk and not getting a single point wouldn't be right."

"But..." Zhang Yuqi's expression was a bit conflicted.

Ignoring their protests, Wang Feng directly sent over forty thousand Points.

"No buts, just take it."

"Besides, Instance Competition is a team effort. I can't do it alone."

"It's perfect for you to use these Points to strengthen yourselves."

"In the next instance, I'll be counting on you."

Looking at the Points on their personal terminals, a great sense of happiness welled up in Zhang Qiang and the others.

Their efforts had been recognized!

This positive reinforcement further strengthened their recognition of and loyalty to Wang Feng.

Zhang Qiang straightened his back.

"Boss!"

"If there's a next life, I'll still be your lackey, haha!"

Wang Feng laughed and gave him a kick.

"I don't want your next life; let's live this one well first."

The three of them joked and laughed together, the atmosphere extremely harmonious.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuqi looked at Wang Feng with eyes full of affection.

Strong emotions fermented and surged in her chest.

She took a few steps forward and gave him a light, fleeting peck on the cheek.

Then, before Wang Feng could react, she whispered.

"Master~"

"When the carriage is upgraded... and we have our own room..."

"I'll buy a very sexy nightgown... and wear it only for you..."

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Zhang Yuqi and caught a glimpse of the snowy white skin at her neckline.

She even deliberately squeezed a bit to give Wang Feng a clearer view.

Then, he smiled knowingly.

"Then I'll look forward to that day."

"Let's go, it's our turn to go in."

With a wave of his hand, the five of them entered the deputy car commander's office... All the Shops on the train had independent levels.

Except for the general goods Shop, all other functional Shops required Points to upgrade.

Wang Feng hadn't chosen Gene Enhancement before mainly because the price of functional Shops was simply too expensive.

Ten thousand Points per time, and the enhancement Points were completely random.

It was very possible to throw in ten thousand Points and end up with a direct enhancement of only 0.01.

At that time, even eating and drinking were problems for him, so naturally, he wouldn't spend Points on Gene Enhancement, let alone on upgrading the Gene Enhancement Shop.

But it was different now.

Today, with basic survival resources guaranteed, improving strength was the most urgent matter.

The enhancement process went very smoothly.

It just involved entering the enhancement pod in the office, and the staff outside would click a button to complete it.

With half an hour per person, all five of them completed their enhancement in less than three hours.

Wang Feng was the last one.

As he was leaving, Shen Aoxue kept him behind privately.

She cleared everyone around her, summoned her Attendant panel, and presented it to Wang Feng.

"The next instance will be a 1vs1 match."

"You will be fighting against the carriage ranked sixth in the Fourth Sequence."

"Carriage No. 355, codename Spark."

"Their Shop level is Level 3."

"This time it's a direct confrontation of raw strength; only the one with the bigger fist will win."

"Those little tricks of yours won't work anymore."

Just like with Dai Yingying.

Shen Aoxue, whose favorability had surged by 20 Points, directly leaked the match information to Wang Feng in advance.

It had become something of a regular feature.

Wang Feng quickly browsed the information on the interface.

【instance Name: Ruined City - Twin Towers (Zombies)】

【Participating Teams: Carriage No. 355 (Spark), Carriage No. 83 (Black Raven)...】

【Participation Requirements: Ten people assigned per carriage.】

【Designated Resources: Wood (1 point), Metal (2 Points), Food (3 Points)...】

【Premium Resources: prion protein (20 Points), Gray Spinal Cord (50 Points), Genetic Samples (100 Points)...】

【Special Resources: Highly Concentrated Virus (1000 Points)】

The Twin Towers... Wang Feng knew about this instance.

The setting was a pair of twin skyscrapers with four bridges connecting them in the middle.

Each team occupied one building.

After the start, Survivors needed to enter the resource points in the opposite skyscraper to collect resources, then bring them back to their own building's Point Calculation Area to tally Points.

Each team was responsible for protecting their own resource points while also finding ways to snatch the opponent's resources.

During the process, they also had to watch out for the zombie mobs in the instance.

After time ran out.

Whoever had more Points would win.

In a nutshell, the Twin Towers was a standard point-grab map!

This instance map was very small, and the combat was intense.

In extreme cases, a strong team could even slaughter the weak team entirely!

It was indeed as Shen Aoxue said; this instance was a pure contest of raw strength.

Even with the locations of the map's resource points and a resource encyclopedia.

In the end, winning wasn't guaranteed.

He hadn't expected the difficulty to ramp up immediately after just winning one match.

The Train Survival Game really doesn't give people a moment to breathe!

Wang Feng looked at the instance information with a serious expression.

"What, no confidence?" Shen Aoxue's tone was quite playful.

After silently memorizing the map information, Wang Feng pushed the information interface back.

"It's all down to human effort."

"Absolute strength doesn't necessarily mean a guaranteed win."

"A rocket launcher still has to hit its target to do damage, doesn't it?"

Shen Aoxue laughed.

She was appreciating Wang Feng more and more.

"Not bad."

"I look forward to the news of your victory."

...After Wang Feng left the office.

The others all crowded around him.

Seeing his grave expression, they asked anxiously.

"Boss, what did the deputy car commander say to you just now?"

"She's not going to target you, is she!"

In the eyes of Survivors, the train Attendants were like androids that only carried out cruel rule.

They had no feelings.

What was implanted in their minds was only coldness and slaughter.

Survivors were just swine in their eyes, cockroaches that could be crushed with a single step.

So, it was normal for them to have such concerns.

After all, not long ago, Deng Ran had just been publicly executed by Shen Aoxue.

But they didn't know about Wang Feng's system.

They didn't know he was the only person on this train who could romance the Attendants.

This secret was something Wang Feng didn't plan on sharing with anyone.

Wang Feng looked around and waved his hand.

"Let's go back to the carriage to talk in detail."
