The waiting room for the train heading to Yin City isn’t large. After all, the train only runs once a week, and White Stone City isn’t a major boarding point, with only two tickets available weekly.

If it weren’t for Hundred Directions City selling those two tickets.

The waiting room might not even be temporarily utilized.

Therefore, the station naturally doesn’t offer a large waiting room.

The entire waiting room consists of two rows of a total of six sofas.

In front of the sofas, there’s a coffee table with flowers, designed to provide comfort.

Of course, there’s nothing better available.

After all, this is a transportation hub; they’re in it for the money.

There’s certainly no free food and drink; if you want to eat here, you have to spend a lot of money.

When Gu Xi got off the train, the attendant specially reminded him not to buy things at the station; prices here are about ten times those outside, targeting ordinary people from elsewhere.

Gu Xi merely smiled at this remark.

He carries a city with him; why would he need to buy anything in such a place?

However, the situation in the waiting room surprised Gu Xi.

When he entered, there were already people inside the waiting room.

A man and a woman in black robes occupying three sofas, whispering to each other.

Though their attire didn’t reveal much, Gu Xi could tell from their manner and aura that they were Level 19 Undead Professionals.

But without seeing their equipment, Gu Xi couldn’t guess whether they were Undead Mages or Death Knights.

When Gu Xi entered, the whispering pair raised their heads.

Since the station was teeming with all kinds of people, Gu Xi had already opened the Spirit Lamp’s vision when he arrived.

As they lifted their heads, Gu Xi sensed their gaze on him.

But when Gu Xi looked at them, he noticed they merely glanced his way, then returned to their conversation, making him suspect that without the Spirit Lamp’s vision, they might not have noticed his arrival.

It seems like he’s been targeted.

Gu Xi’s heart stirred, and his vigilance instantly heightened.

He began to guard against these two making a move.

Meanwhile, the pair continued to whisper about Gu Xi’s information.

"Was it him who snatched our ticket?"

"It should be; at this hour, the waiting room is for those heading to Yin City."

"But he clearly dresses like an archer from here, what’s he doing going to Yin City?"

"Why bother with that, if the cross-star realm train stops here, there must be a reason. As long as you have a ticket, anyone can go to Yin City."

"I just dislike that he bought the ticket, leaving me to wait for next week’s train."

"We can’t blame anyone but ourselves for being late."

"Should we try discussing with him, maybe swap tickets with him?"

"Forget it, I’ve already inquired, he got his ticket through the Li Family’s channels.

Messing around might annoy the Li Family.

We should just let it go; it’ll pass soon enough."

The pair muttered while secretly observing Gu Xi through the corner of their eyes or other means.

In their view, their actions were very covert, and what could someone of Gu Xi’s level possibly notice.

But they never imagined that though Gu Xi couldn’t hear their words, he could keenly feel their gaze.

To him, they were just Level 19 Undead to a player.

Gu Xi didn’t give it any thought.

Both sides disregarded each other, making the waiting room calm down.

Soon the waiting room’s announcements sounded.

"Attention passengers, the K887 train heading toward Tanyue Star Realm is boarding. Please board from the designated platform."

Upon hearing, Gu Xi stood up; the train he was taking was precisely the K887.

Gu Xi had already found out that train letters in the real world have specific meanings.

For example, T indicates a cross-star realm train dedicated to two star realms, while K means one passes through multiple star realms.

Of course, there are other starting letters, but no need to explain now.

Trains within a realm don’t need a starting letter; as long as there’s a corresponding number.

In this context, determining which train to take is as simple as checking the letter and number.

Gu Xi was obviously not taking a train exclusively connecting two star realms.

Rather, it was purely a passing train.

Actually, it’s easy to understand; the Wind and Earth Domain where White Stone City is doesn’t produce players on the Undead route, so there’s no need for a dedicated train to the Netherworld.

Having a passing train is already fortunate.

With the announcement, Gu Xi proactively headed toward the platform entrance.

The murmuring pair, too, stood, with the woman carrying her weapons, heading toward the platform.

It’s evident the duo opted for the woman to go to Yin City first, as they didn’t have enough tickets.

The man likely had to wait in Hundred Directions City for a week.

Gu Xi didn’t need to turn around to "see" their eyes on him.

About such matters, Gu Xi felt somewhat helpless.

Gu Xi had realized they’re blaming him for not having tickets.

But who minds?

Gu Xi wasn’t born as a player in the real world.

He has no connections with real-world families or academies.

If they provoke him, Gu Xi wouldn’t mind sending them to Yalidu City as his Undead.

Players at Level 19 on the Undead route could certainly make perfect members of the Undead Corps post-mortem.

As Gu Xi walked onto the platform, the woman and man exchanged final instructions.

"I’m boarding now; your ticket’s secured. This week, stay obediently in Hundred Directions City, don’t wander around.

Don’t miss the next train.

Also, although there aren’t many Undead Mages in Hundred Directions City, there might be some lingering Undead Remnant Qi.

I sensed it yesterday while shopping.

But you mustn’t exploit it.

You are alone, without someone to cooperate; any mishap could be troublesome.

So no matter what, stay calm."

"Don’t worry; I’m fine here. Watch out yourself on the train; cross-star realm trains always involve some issues.

If anything happens, release that thing; don’t worry about anyone else’s safety."
