Chapter 1243 - 1241: Star Thief and the Train Incident

Chapter 1243: Chapter 1241: Star Thief and the Train Incident

After boarding train K887, Gu Xi realized that this train was not as impressive as the ones over in Bailian City. Though there were compartments, each compartment could only fit a single recliner.

It’s not even comparable to the train from Pei Xin City to Ancestor City. At best, it feels like an airplane’s first-class cabin.

One can recline or adjust their seat to sit upright, but when eating, you have to lower the small tray table and struggle a bit.

If you want to use the restroom, sorry, there isn’t one in the compartment.

If you want to indulge in something fun, it’s simply not possible.

There’s no place for any enjoyment here.

So, when taking this kind of train, you can only shut yourself in the compartment, read a book, watch TV and ads, or go straight to sleep.

Sitting on the train for just a few minutes, Gu Xi understood what the upcoming two-day and one-night journey would be like.

He silently pulled out a few notebooks, shut the compartment door, and quickly began reading.

Gu Xi had already decided that in these two days, he must learn new things and supplement the basics of the Undead Mage path.

In case he reaches Yin City and knows nothing.

What if there are exams at Netherworld University over there?

Or what if he finds his foundation is shaky?

Would he have to take remedial classes there?

So, taking the time to learn now is always beneficial for the future.

After taking out a few of the notebooks, Gu Xi focused entirely on the books.

This time, Gu Xi was supplementing his knowledge in corpse structure.

An Undead Mage can take shortcuts in other areas, but in corpse structure, if you don’t know it, you really don’t know it.

Undead aren’t just about assembling a few bones together to make them move.

Which type of corpse can be made into an undead and which cannot, there’s significance in that.

Only players like Gu Xi carrying an Undead City can ignore these aspects.

But no matter how much you ignore, you should always learn.

For example, how to handle angelic corpses, or the purpose of a bird person’s wings.

How to handle a Behemoth’s corpse, if not directly reviving the most perverse Ghost Behemoth, what can be made from the Behemoth?

If a corpse lacks parts, where to find suitable replacements.

Whether zombies need internals, and if the internals have any use.

All these need to be studied.

If not learned, many issues are difficult to resolve.

At this moment, Gu Xi was immersed in this.

Within the notebooks in his hand, there are many records of the internal organs of various species, detailing the uses of these organs and where they can be placed.

Just as Gu Xi was engrossed in reading, the compartment door suddenly made a sound.

It wasn’t the sound of someone knocking, but the feeling of something colliding with it.

Gu Xi’s heart tightened. He picked up the Illusion Magic Wand and opened the compartment door to take a peek outside.

"Don’t open the door, it’s star thieves!"

As soon as Gu Xi opened the door, a voice came from outside.

Gu Xi looked out and saw the conductors holding various weapons, blocking a breach in the carriage.

Beyond the breach, it was endless Star Sea.

Gu Xi glanced out and felt like he was being sucked out.

Such a situation startled Gu Xi.

He didn’t understand what was going on.

If he were a player in the real world, he would know that the train was traversing the Star Realm Level passages between star realms for cross-star realm jumps.

This situation is analogous to a regular train going through a tunnel, and such phenomena occur from time to time.

Only kids who haven’t seen anything would be so excited about such a situation.

And the star thieves mentioned by the conductors are players hidden in the passages between star realms.

They have already offended the real-world government and have no choice but to drift in space, relying on smuggling into the game from space to seize resources to survive.

Sometimes they also rob cross-star realm trains to steal people or resources.

After all, not every game has the things they want.

It is precisely because of the existence of star thieves between star realms that every conductor on such trains has methods to deal with various chaos.

Such situations are minor.

One conductor engaged against the breached door, while the others split into two groups: one quickly repaired the breach with various materials, and the other wielded weapons and attacked the invading star thieves.

As for all passengers, none are allowed outside.

Because the scene is chaotic, no one knows if there are star thief spies onboard.

Thus, they simply don’t let anyone out.

When Gu Xi opened the door, he was directly warned.

If Gu Xi still wanted to rush outside at this time, he would definitely be mistaken for a star thief spy and be killed.

On this cross-star realm train, explanations aren’t needed for a few deaths; they’re simply tossed into space.

Although Gu Xi didn’t know what was happening, he knew this wasn’t the time for questions when he heard the conductor’s words. He quickly withdrew his head and shut the door.

Yet the situation outside made it hard for Gu Xi to concentrate on reading.

Gu Xi pondered, used his special mirrored left hand to contact Luna.

"Luna, send that Electronic Ghost over. I need to see the situation outside."

Special mirror communication with Luna is quite fast, but the Electronic Ghost arrives slowly.

After finding the Electronic Ghost, it needs to be rerouted through the Mysterious Mirror Image Space.

Then transported via the mirror image to Gu Xi’s side.

It’s because Gu Xi requested the ghost.

If it were other undead, it might not be deliverable.

As for opening a Death City gate on the train.

Gu Xi isn’t foolish.

The battle outside clearly has issues.

Opening a gate at this time would only provoke the conductors.

Gu Xi doesn’t want to be tossed into space.

Gu Xi now just wants to see what’s going on outside, whether there’s danger landing on him.

Not to break anything, just have the Electronic Ghost handle the TV here.

After sending the command, Gu Xi waited at the door with the Illusion Magic Wand, listening intently to the outside situation, fearing something might happen again.

At this moment, Gu Xi heard another disturbance.

However, this disturbance wasn’t from outside the door; it came from the neighboring compartment.

"Someone released the undead?"
