"The dining car has more anomalies, you... haha, I've thought wrong. May I have your contact information?"
Originally, Zhang Xiaojie intended to advise Mu Rufeng not to go to the dining car because, with his strength, going there was akin to seeking death.
However, considering Mu Rufeng's substantial financial resources, there might be some trump cards Zhang Xiaojie was unaware of.
"Sure, my number is 177XXXXXXXX," Mu Rufeng immediately reported his contact number in the Mysterious World.
"I've made the call. You can save it now," Zhang Xiaojie pointed to his phone and said.
Mu Rufeng quickly felt the vibration of his phone.
Taking it out from the bandage, he saw a number calling.
Mu Rufeng promptly saved Zhang Xiaojie's number.
"By the way, there's something else I almost forgot to ask. Do you know about Crimson Preferred?" Mu Rufeng suddenly inquired.
"Crimson Preferred? I know it, they sell things quite cheaply, and I often shop there," Zhang Xiaojie replied.
Just as Mu Rufeng was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that a few rookie players, who had been groggy, seemed about to wake up.
Zhang Xiaojie immediately understood and his inner ghost qi shook. In an instant, everyone in the carriage, including the anomalies, rookie players, and attendants, all passed out into a deep sleep.
Only Mu Rufeng and Zhang Xiaojie remained awake.
Mu Rufeng, seeing this, looked slightly surprised.
Noticing Mu Rufeng's astonishment, Zhang Xiaojie said, "Just a little trick. They'll wake up after a while."
"Is this Ghost Power?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Yes, when you contract your first anomaly, Ghost Power will be born within you," Zhang Xiaojie explained.
"Hmm," Mu Rufeng nodded.
"All right, now you can continue the topic we were on," Zhang Xiaojie said.
The reason Mu Rufeng brought up Crimson Preferred was naturally because of the pickup point issue in the real world.
Mu Rufeng shared the details with Zhang Xiaojie.
"I'm not very sure about that. If you want to set a pickup point in the real world, you really need to think it over carefully."
"However, just this morning before boarding the Bloody Train, I received a news notification that might be helpful to you."
Zhang Xiaojie took out his phone, opened an app, and showed the news to Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng took it and glanced with a focused gaze.
It was a news app called Abnormality Headlines.
There was a headline taking up nearly half a page.
[Shocking! Crimson Preferred experiences a massive explosion, heavy casualties suspected to be caused by a rookie Contractor.]
Mu Rufeng immediately clicked on the article.
[Early this morning, a massive explosion occurred inside Scarlet Logistics Park.
More than ten staff members are believed to have lost their lives, including a third-level Evil Ghost.
According to insiders, the incident was triggered by a Level 1 Contractor from the real world.
The triggering factor is speculated to be Scarlet Group's inability to recruit enough staff, leading them to hire Contractors from the real world.
According to our editor's analysis, Scarlet Group might be using this opportunity to expand into the real world market, breaking the pinch between Undead Preferred and XiXi Preferred.
As we know, most top groups in the Mysterious World have reached their development cap, and to further break through, they must either destroy similar groups to achieve a monopoly or expand to new markets in the real world.
With the growing number of Contractors, this also represents a significant market that cannot be underestimated.
Unfortunately, the real world and our Mysterious World are different worlds.
And since we, the residents of Mysterious World, consume them, this is a major barrier to development.
Experts have said that the real world is merging with the Mysterious World, as evidenced by the increasing number of Contractors.
Many top groups have tried to expand their market into the real world, but evidently, none have succeeded.
Will Crimson Preferred be the pioneer of this era? Let's wait and see!]
Mu Rufeng read the article word by word.
It must be said, the news provided Mu Rufeng with substantial information.
"Who would have thought the dormitory manager turned out to be a third-level Evil Ghost." Mu Rufeng realized only then how lucky he had been to be able to defeat the Dormitory Manager.
Even with his Zombie Template, killing that inferior version of a Slippery Fruit ability user would be nearly impossible.
Because of the slippery fatty mass, Mu Rufeng's immense strength found no use.
Even trying to suck blood with zombie teeth, he would only bite into fat, unable to draw out any blood or energy.
"I didn't expect there to be real-time news in the Mysterious World," Mu Rufeng thought, still somewhat surprised.
"Thanks, this news was helpful," Mu Rufeng returned the phone.
"That's good. But I just noticed your emotion seemed to change, could it be..."
"That, embarrassing indeed, I am that Level 1 Contractor who caused the disturbance," Mu Rufeng said, scratching his cheek.
"Haha, who would have thought it was such a coincidence."
"Eh, wait, this incident happened yesterday, and yet you entered the Bloody Train again?"
Obviously, Zhang Xiaojie was also aware that Contractors have a cooldown period for entering instances.
"I almost forgot, the Bloody Train isn't included. It's one of the limited few special vehicles that can directly enter the real world," Zhang Xiaojie explained.
"May I ask, how strong is the train conductor?" Mu Rufeng curiously asked.
"Hmm... although I have seen the train conductor, I haven't fought with him, so it's hard to gauge his true strength."
"But I suspect that the train conductor's level must not be lower than mine, possibly even a Level 7 Ghost General, and the Bloody Train is probably a Level 8 vehicle," Zhang Xiaojie said.
"Level 7 Ghost General... Level 8 vehicle?" Mu Rufeng suddenly felt a bit unreal.
He was only Level 1, not to mention, two days ago, he was just a loader earning a few thousand a month.
Suddenly getting involved in these matters indeed felt somewhat surreal.
"Alright, you can go to the dining car now, they're about to wake up. If you have any more questions, you can call me," Zhang Xiaojie said.
"Hmm," Mu Rufeng nodded and then took his leave.
It must be said, just spending ten million to gain the friendship of a Level 6 Red-clothed Ghost, this deal was definitely profitable.
Of course, it was a pity not to have contracted with him.
Level 5, when Mu Rufeng reaches Level 5, he would still need to clear fourteen more instances.
