The Infinite Train

[Next up: The Fake Young Master Gets Exposed in His Daily Life. Blurb below!] Jiang Nian opens his eyes to find himself aboard a bizarre train. At every stop, he has to get off and complete a dangerous, thrilling mission. Other people tremble in fear as they take on the missions, getting fooled by NPCs and led around in circles until they lose their lives again and again. Jiang Nian and Cen Wei take on missions... An NPC with a rotting face sticks out his long tongue and pushes open the door, wailing eerily to scare them. But the two people in the room are playing Fight the Landlord, completely unfazed by his intrusion. Jiang Nian tosses down the two jokers with a blank expression, then looks up at him, eyes heavy with sleep, as if he's about to doze off. Cen Wei doesn't look up. He uses the NPC's long tongue to wipe the dust off the floor, pauses, and says, "Nice tongue. Got a link?" NPC: "..." Damn it! Could you two at least show me some respect? I'm a ferocious ghost! QAQ! After surviving the NPC's torment, the players drag themselves into the room, exhausted and ready for a good night's sleep. But the NPC they fear most is curled up in a corner, tears running down his bloodied, mangled face as he whimpers like he's been terribly wronged. The two players in the room are one asleep and one awake. The awake one stares fixedly at the sleeper, then glances lazily at the NPC, annoyed that he's making too much noise. The NPC looks terrified and falls completely silent. The other players: "..." [Content warning: I'm not very good at writing, especially the later parts.

His biological parents are dead. If he leaves the Song family, he'll be out on the street. Song Ting doesn't want to be kicked out, so in the middle of the night he anxiously posts online asking how he can stay. The highest-rated reply says, "Kneel in front of your family and bang your head on the floor to show them how much you love them and can't live without them. Beg until they let you stay." Song Ting decides to do exactly that. He pushes open the door to his big brother Song Lingshen's room and drops to his knees with a thump, striking a pose of desperate supplication. Then it all goes wrong. The person inside isn't Song Lingshen, but Lu Peichao, the moody eldest young master of the Lu family and Song Ting's sworn enemy of many years. He watches Song Ting calmly, propping his cheek on one hand as he drawls, "It's not even New Year yet, and you're already kneeling and kowtowing to me? Too bad I didn't prepare a red envelope. I'll just transfer you some money." The next second, Song Ting's phone buzzes to announce a transfer of 250 yuan. Lu Peichao smiles. "All right, go ahead and kowtow." Song Ting, whose knees are starting to hurt: "..." You'd better not sleep too soundly tonight.
