Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

...

...

In the following three days, Zhou Baiyu frantically completed tasks. The blind date task he had received from Ms. Wang was taken care of in one go.

On the fourth day, while Zhou Baiyu was browsing the internet at home, a seven-day countdown suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The summoning had finally descended once again.

A few days later, with two hours left on the countdown, Zhou Baiyu saw the update announcement and the summoning trial requirements.

[v2.15 Update Announcement:

After the survival of a very few humans, to diversify the activity tracks of mankind, we decided to introduce serendipitous elements, making this world possess more possibilities.

This update will not adjust the balance of classes and races, but will add multiple serendipity channels for pioneers, corrupted species, humans, and demonkind in the versions before and after.

Please, pioneers, cherish every serendipitous opportunity; it may lead you to obtain rewards that exceed version rewards, and also potentially bring unimaginable disasters.]

Serendipity?

It looks like a double-edged sword again, good luck may benefit humans, but bad luck could bring great harm to them.

"Could it be that my next summoning is also related to serendipity?"

Zhou Baiyu continued to stare at his occasionally blue-screening computer monitor:

[v2.15 Summoning Trial: Mysterious Train.]

[Summoning Description: When the world is invaded by the apocalypse, there is always one train that keeps running. The distorted rules have already shrouded the entire train and its passengers.

This train has somehow acquired a power that transcends the rules at some point.

Enter your destination, and the train will display the time of arrival. As long as you can survive in the various eerie carriages within the arrival time, once the train stops, you will reach the place you wish to arrive at.]

Task Objective: Escort the target member to their desired destination.

Victory Condition: When arriving at the final stop, both the pioneer and the target must be alive.

Victory Reward: As this is a serendipitous task, specific rewards are determined by your destination.

Note 1: The escort target will have their own preferred destinations and multiple choices; you can only provide suggestions based on their choices but cannot offer additional options unless the Mysterious Train is triggered a second time.

Note 2: The Mysterious Train can reach any place, even outside the territory of Longxia.

Note 3: Different destinations will lead to rule changes within the carriages; the harder the place is to reach, the more lethal the rules.

Note 4: Your choice will affect the difficulty of this journey. The final assessment will be based on your choices. Choose wisely.

Note 5: Maintaining a good relationship with the escort target is one of the keys to success.]

[Task Failure Penalty: Failure in a serendipitous task will result in immediate erasure, with no possibility of triggering a redemption task in the real world.]

Zhou Baiyu frowned.

A train that could reach anywhere?

Then if I'm in the Advanced World and set my destination as the real world... could it reach there too?

Or if I set it to the Origin World, could it reach there?

Zhou Baiyu became interested in this task.

But there was a difficult aspect to it.

"It's not about what I have to do but about escorting my target, letting them achieve their wish, to go to the place they want to go to... Who could they be?"

It's common knowledge that in any game, escorting NPCs in quests is synonymous with them being both stupid and inept.

"v2.15 isn't a key version, but the target that's worth my time to escort... I hope... I hope they're not an idiot."
