102: Chapter 102 Seven-Day Carnival! Attributes Soar!

The girls in the carriage, who hadn't slept all night and had dark circles under their eyes, all shuddered simultaneously. They looked at each other, and the previously dull atmosphere began to change.

A few minutes later, the dining carriage, which had been converted into a training ground, was packed with people.

On the second day of the preparation period, Fang Che stood in the center of the training ground.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over all the girls present, his voice very calm.

"Today's training is divided into two groups: physical fitness in the morning and tactical training in the afternoon. Everyone must participate; there are no exceptions."

A wave of irrepressible whispering broke out among the girls. Emotions like fear, shame, and pride were rapidly dissipating in the face of survival and the desire to become stronger.

A timid voice rang out from the crowd.

"Um... Fang Che... I..."

The girl speaking was Zhou Yao from the nursing major. She was introverted and usually had almost no presence in the group.

She summoned her courage, her cheeks flushed red.

"I also want to... participate in that agreement..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she wanted to say.

Zhou Yao started it, and it instantly prompted others.

"I want to get stronger too! I want to participate too!"

Another girl, Qian Duoer, immediately shouted out after her.

"Count me in too, take me with you."

A girl named Zhao Shiyu also stood up, her eyes filled with longing.

In an instant, several girls had expressed their intent. Fang Che's gaze swept over their faces one by one, his expression unchanged.

"Come find me tonight."

He dropped this line in a very flat tone.

This flat statement, however, caused a huge reaction in the crowd. The girls who hadn't expressed their intent yet had even more complicated looks in their eyes.

That night, not long after Fang Che finished his training guidance and returned to his resting room, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door to find Zhou Yao, Qian Duoer, Zhao Shiyu, who had spoken up during the day, and another girl named Liu Siqi standing outside. They were lined up, looking nervous, not knowing where to put their hands and feet.

Fang Che glanced at them and stepped aside to clear the way.

That night, everyone stared intensely at the public channel screen of the Train.

On the light blue screen, system announcements flickered continuously.

[Detected that both parties are fully voluntary, Creation Agreement activated...]

[Creation Agreement · Triggered~ Agreement Targets: Fang Che, Liu Siqi]

The screen lit up and dimmed, then refreshed again immediately.

[Creation Agreement · Triggered~ Agreement Targets: Fang Che, Zhao Shiyu]

It lit up again, then dimmed again.

[Creation Agreement · Triggered~ Agreement Targets: Fang Che, Qian Duoer]

[Creation Agreement · Triggered~ Agreement Targets: Fang Che, Zhou Yao]

[Creation Agreement · Triggered~ Agreement Targets: Fang Che, Chen Yi]

In the public area of the carriage, everyone stared intensely at that screen, their breathing becoming heavy.

It lasted for a full two hours, five times in a row.

Everyone was shocked by Fang Che's astonishing physical stamina and couldn't speak for a long time.

Is he even human?

Just as the fourth agreement announcement ended, something even more shocking happened.

A line of golden system prompts appeared on the public screen.

[Special Bond · Activated!]

[Detected the same male survivor has completed the Creation Agreement with multiple female survivors, and the number of links has reached 10. Activating special team bond ~ Sensory Sharing!]

[Bond Effect: All members who have completed the Creation Agreement link with the same male survivor will be able to vaguely perceive each other's emotional fluctuations and approximate positions. This effect will strengthen as the number of links increases and the depth of the agreement improves.]

[Current linked members: Teacher Qin Bing, Jiang Ning, Su Qingxue, Mu Waner, Gu Nanzhi, Liu Siqi, Zhao Shiyu, Qian Duoer, Zhou Yao, Chen Yi.]

The golden text on the screen remained for over ten seconds before slowly fading away.

Immediately following were the detailed data announcements for the five agreements.

[Liu Siqi completed the first Creation Agreement. Basic reward: All stats +5 for both parties. Triggered 5x Critical Hit, All stats +25!]

[Zhao Shiyu completed the first Creation Agreement. Basic reward: All stats +5 for both parties. Triggered 5x Critical Hit, All stats +25!]

[Qian Duoer completed the first Creation Agreement. Basic reward: All stats +5 for both parties. Triggered 6x Critical Hit, All stats +30!]

[Zhou Yao completed the first Creation Agreement. Basic reward: All stats +5 for both parties. Triggered 6x Critical Hit, All stats +30!]

[Chen Yi completed the first Creation Agreement. Basic reward: All stats +5 for both parties. Triggered 8x Critical Hit, All stats +40!]

The five ordinary girls who were originally at the bottom of the team in terms of stats and had no combat talent saw their stats increase significantly overnight.

Their four-dimensional stats jumped from an average of less than forty points to sixty or seventy points, completely escaping the cannon fodder tier.

Early the next morning, exclamations of surprise rang out in the training ground.

"Wow! I can really feel it!"

Liu Siqi, who had newly joined the agreement, closed her eyes, her face full of surprise and joy.

"I can feel that Sister Su Qingxue is about ten meters to my rear left, and she is in a very calm mood right now!"

Su Qingxue, who was standing behind her, paused upon hearing this, a trace of awkwardness flashing across her cold cheeks.

"I feel it too!"

Qian Duoer also called out.

"Sister Jiang Ning is radiating pure battle intent, like she's ready to fight!"

Jiang Ning, who was struggling with a sandbag, heard this, turned back, and grinned.

"That's right, do you want to come over and practice?"

Qian Duoer immediately shrank her neck and took two steps back.

In a danger-filled dungeon, everyone understood what it meant to be able to perceive teammates' locations and approximate states at any time.

Scouting, support, coordination, preventing backstabbing—this was no longer just a simple stat boost, but a team skill in the true sense.

In the corner of the training ground, Chen Xiaorou, wearing black-rimmed glasses, watched the lively crowd and silently recited to herself.

"Teacher Qin's average stats were 72 before the agreement and 102 after, an increase rate of 41%."

"Sister Jiang Ning's were 70 before and 86 after, an increase rate of 23%."

"For the four new additions, the average stat was 38 before the agreement and 62 after, an increase rate of 63%..."

She calculated rapidly, and the final number made her palms break out in a cold sweat.

"The average stats of the agreement members have already surpassed ours by 40%."

A 40% stat gap—this number brought tremendous pressure, making her feel incredibly heavy.

If they really had to face enemies from other Trains at the next stop, this gap would be the difference between life and death. At that time, those of them with lagging stats probably wouldn't even qualify to be cannon fodder.

Chen Xiaorou's fingers, gripping the corner of her clothes, turned white from the force, and she felt conflicted inside.

Just as she was struggling internally, Wang Yutong, a tall sports major with healthy wheat-colored skin, walked straight up to Fang Che.

"Fang Che, I want to participate in the agreement too!"

Wang Yutong looked at Fang Che, her gaze direct, without any hesitation.

Fang Che looked up at her.

"Are you sure?"

Wang Yutong nodded vigorously, straightforward and decisive.

"I am very sure!"

"My physical fitness is good, but I have no combat talent. At combat stops, I don't want to be cannon fodder who only knows how to run; I want to fight!"

Fang Che looked at her for a few seconds and nodded slightly.

"Alright."

That night, the system screen lit up again.

[Creation Agreement · Triggered~ Agreement Targets: Fang Che, Wang Yutong]

[Wang Yutong completed the first Creation Agreement. Basic reward: All stats +5 for both parties. Triggered 8x Critical Hit, All stats +40!]

In a dark corner of the carriage, Lin Xinyi hugged her knees, burying her entire face in her arms, and quietly watched every announcement on the screen.

She gripped the corner of her skirt tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, bringing a sharp, stinging pain.

But she didn't cry or make a scene; she just fell into complete silence.

Sun Li, who had a fiery personality, sat down next to her, her tone filled with a mix of anxiety and confusion.

"Sister Lin Xinyi, aren't you going?"

"If this keeps up, we really will be left behind. How will we survive then?"

Lin Xinyi's body trembled, and she slowly raised her head. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was very hoarse and dry.

"I..."

"I'll wait a little longer... wait a little longer..."
