Shincon's One Coin Clear

Chapter 33

Episode 33. Endless Express (2)

The stage with the worst clear rate among the 12 floors. Endless Express.

The outside of the train is a polar region that seems to have come from an ice age, and it is a paradise for monsters.

The player had to survive and adapt to the huge train and make it to the engine room.

The unique thing about this stage is that there are intelligent creatures on the stage, not players.

Natives who live in a dimension called the Endless Express, so to speak.

NPCs are NPCs, but you can call them non-player NPCs.

The train was huge.

It was huge enough to accommodate thousands of people.

The natives socialized in the train and protected the train from monsters.

And they circulated all over the world to procure resources.

“So this is one big society.”

The goal of the players who fell on the train was simple.

‘Reach the engine room.’

stokehold. It is the head of this large train.

A place where the ‘engineer’ who drives the train stays.

Considering that trains are the foundation of society, it is a place that can be reached only with great power.

To begin with, it was terribly difficult to reach the engine room.

Inside the train, a rigid and absolute hierarchy was operated.

The highest ranks were of two classes.

Engineers responsible for the mechanical operation of trains, including the driver.

A guardian who protects the train against monsters.

The next class is the rich.

People who literally have a lot.

They did not have essential functions for train operation like engineers and guardians, but instead they had to do with political positions.

Like bringing in a lot of food in the early days of train operation, or wisely resolving conflicts between humans.

The most common category is the family and friends of engineers or guardians.

If you hit this far in the middle class, royalty and nobility.

These were about 30% of the population living on the train, but they were able to move freely in more than 90% of the space.

The rest were divided into two groups.

They make up 70% of the population.

workers and rats.

Workers literally for running trains. And they were those who lived by exploiting labor for the comfortable life of upper-class personnel.

When Guardians hunted monsters, they became meat shields and were put into chores or jobs requiring high-intensity labor when engineers were working.

Finally a rat.

Those who entered ‘without permission’ on the train, the last salvation of the perishing world.

If the worker was a commoner, the rat was a lower class.

All natives tried to exterminate rats when they saw them.

Workers alone were enough for the train.

The size of the train was limited, and the unnecessarily large population only increased the speed of resource consumption and called the monster’s attack.

“Obviously, are we ‘rats’ now?”

-yes.

Ran, not knowing the background, asked.

“A rat?”

The sun rose from its seat without answering.

“I need to figure out where I am now.”

Ignored, but Ran didn’t react much.

It was because, while experiencing various stages together, she knew that Taeyang communicated with ‘ghosts’ that she could not recognize.

Surprisingly, the ‘ghost’ is a very quick being in the dimensional labyrinth, so it was best not to interfere when communicating like that.

The starting position of the stage was different for each player.

The ‘tail compartment’, the residence of workers who account for 65 to 70% of the population, was the most common location, and it could fall into locations such as ‘engine room’, ‘cargo compartment’ and ‘guest room’.

Since the ‘engine room’ is at the head of the train, a player who lands in the ‘tail compartment’ has to travel a longer distance than a player who lands in the ‘cabin’.

But falling close to the engine room wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Indigenous people belonging to vested interests excluded everyone except them.

In addition, all districts were formally or heavily screened on the move.

If you fall into the ‘Military Sector’, the Guardian’s residential area, there are cases where you die before you can do anything.

Woowook Huh.

Even if you breathe, white steam blooms.

-Looking at the ambient temperature, it’s either the tail compartment or the tail compartment.

“That is fortunate.”

Workers also tried to exterminate ‘rats’ when they found them, and acted territorial, but they were better than the wealthy and other high-ranking people.

It was because they, too, had a hard time earning a living every day.

In addition, because the population was so large, they also did not know each other perfectly, so there were many cases where they found a player and did not know that they were ‘rats’.

– Big Endless Express. This stage is no joke with volume.

Ran frowned at the beautiful Ami.

The smell was quite toxic.

“Whoa. under. ‘rats’. Can’t the Chamlong Sword wipe it all out at once from the start?”

“well.”

The sun’s eyes deepened.

Chamlongsword Salvation.

Guardian representative.

He was one of the three Transcendentalists who ruled over the train.

It used to show up when dealing with a predator-level monster aiming for a train.

“You cleaned it up like that last time. He even cleaned up the body. Good.”

“I do not want to. life is worth it Didn’t you see that Ali and Maru also got caught up in it with no luck?”

“... ... That’s right.”

Woowook Huh.

Cigarette smoke continued to flow through the door.

The two of them seemed to be absorbed in smoking, so they couldn’t hear their words for a long time.

Ran asked with a mouth on the other side.

‘The outfit. secure. to do better Wouldn’t it?’

The sun shook its head.

Rumors of a ‘rat’ appearing were already more than money, and it was best to avoid meeting the natives altogether for a while.

Moreover, it was also a problem that Ran’s appearance was unnecessarily too beautiful.

Her skin was too fair and white for a working-class woman.

-I think Ran should take the engineer route.

Engineers sometimes referred to technicians who maintained trains, but they also referred to wizards.

Because the train itself is a huge magic tool, it was essential to have knowledge of magic to touch it.

-A disciple from a worker who an old engineer earned in his later years? I should go this far.

The problem is that because Ran is an NPC, she has no understanding of the background of the train ‘Endless Express’.

Then, the sound of loud voices was heard again.

“After that anyway. If we go to subjugation this time, will there be some guys who will be transferred?”

“It is not a tradition. There are quite a few guys who are recruited into the Guardian before and after the rat catcher.”

“Luke was shouting that he would get his share this time too.”

“That idiot? One of my limbs is eaten by the monster, and I smoke a dozen cigarettes on my way back.”

“me too.”

“which? Which one is going up?”

“Of course, it’s the way to come back while procrastinating.”

“what. Then you can’t bet.”

“Damn, you want to suck my pockets with the obvious?”

“Kuhm.”

Then a loud noise came from the other side.

“Hey, you bastards! Do you hide and smoke while others work like dogs?”

The authoritative voice full of anger seemed to be that of a person with a position of about the foreman.

“It’s X.”

“Didn’t you bring it with you?”

“I brought four cigarettes just in case, but we burned two. Would you like to see both?”

“good night. two cars. Trustworthy.”

With a quick whisper, the door slammed ‘Quaang!’ It made a sound.

Unknowingly, Ran shouted ‘Hee!’ I was startled and covered my mouth.

“You damn kids! Tell me how many times ‘Dragon Nest’ is right in front of you! If you don’t maintain it, the tail section and the head section will all go out? oh what Do you have two cigarettes?”

“This is all. It’s real.”

“fire.”

“yes.”

profit.

The guy who appeared to be the foreman lit a fire and watched it.

I thought I was expecting this in the first place.

“sorry. older brother. It’s nice to see these students go through high school just to build a room theme park. I want to know why you are suffering all this... ... .”

“Whoa. hey. Sweet. greatness. I understand. not that it isn’t We’re not even their feet wipers. Sipal. It’s not enough to wipe the poo, so now I’m asking you to make me a bib. what is this doing?”

“The wall in Room 8, which was torn off during the last monster invasion, has not been repaired yet. Every time I wake up in the morning, my back is not straight. I’m going to freeze to death like this.”

“Whoa. I know. You don’t have anything to say. I’ll suggest that to the class president again.”

“I beg you, brother.”

Soon the voices of the three men faded away.

-I have a rough idea of what to do.

“I know.”

One word spoken in conversation determined the sun’s plan.

dragon nest.

The train seemed to be entering the realm of Untara, the White Dragon.
