---

Closing the program error, the silver-haired girl with the classic expressionless features of a mechanical species turned her gaze to the side, towards the succubus who was the Deputy Leader of this experiment.

The succubus had a slender figure, extremely delicate features, thin lips, a high nose bridge, and a pair of dazzling, captivating eyes, like the brightest stars in the sky. It seemed that just by making eye contact, one would sink deeper and deeper, deeply attracted and unable to break free.

Not to mention, behind the succubus, extending from the back of the mage robe, was that slender, flesh-colored little tail, the most representative feature of a succubus.

The peach-shaped membrane at the base of the tail swayed slightly with its owner's breathing, seemingly unconsciously emitting a kind of fatal temptation to the outside world, arousing the most primitive desires deep within the hearts of other creatures.

Everything was so perfect.

If one had to forcibly find a flaw, it would probably be...

This was a male succubus.

"Dear sister, are you serious about the title you added in front of my name?"

"What else?" the silver-haired girl retorted.

Seeing that her succubus brother was about to say something in defense, Mina coldly said in advance:

"If you can stop your admirers from crazily posting ineffective junk missions to the Ashen Association to find you, send you letters, send you flowers, and reduce the waste of our association's human resources, then I can consider removing this prefix for you."

Abnos: "..."

"At least change the prefix name to something nicer, like Young Master Succubus."

Seeing that his silver-haired sister still ignored him, Abnos sighed, shook his head helplessly, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't want this either. Isn't this all to assist your 'Star Traveler Plan'? I should be the one getting hurt..."

Speaking of the "Star Traveler Plan", Abnos straightened his expression and turned his gaze towards the containers not far away inside the train carriage.

From these containers, one could see the first batch of produced "Star Traveler Original Bodies" quietly soaking and stored in a special nutrient solution.

After skipping the leader's emotional inspection item, the descent program restarted.

Under the silver-haired girl's operation, the containers began to flicker with starlight, and the power from the "Source" began to establish a virtual space channel. In the next moment...

Buzz!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Accompanied by a burst of white mist airflow, the lids of several containers slowly opened. Then, the original body shells that were originally sealed and soaked in the nutrient solution began to have independent consciousness and rose from the containers.

The originally quiet train cargo hold suddenly became lively.

"Holy shit, we really logged in!"

"Here it comes! I've been camping for three years to snatch this closed beta qualification!"

"Mama mia, this feeling of reality, it doesn't feel like being in a game at all!""Back in my grandpa's generation, when Alliance said they wanted to make Fallen Chronicles' universe and promoted the concept of complete immersion, they were ridiculed by a bunch of competitors. No one was optimistic. Who would have thought that after a few decades, Alliance really fulfilled their promise and came out with a decent product..."

"A decent product? You call this a decent product? This is already fucking awesome!"

"Grandpa, did you see it? Fallen Chronicles III that you've been longing for, I'm really playing it!"

"So, where are we now?"

"I don't know, it looks like we're on a train?"

"Wait, you guys look over there, there seem to be two NPCs!"

After "logging in" from the original body containers, the forty-

plus players selected for the "closed beta" exclaimed in amazement for a brief moment, then turned their gazes towards Mina and Abnos, who were 'NPCs'.

The most eye-catching was definitely the succubus. Although for the "Star Traveler Original Bodies", many special influences, such as the succubus's mental corruption, could not affect them, Abnos's handsome and dashing appearance still had a huge impact on female players.

"Alliance, oh Alliance! You've finally come to your senses and are giving benefits to female players too. There are finally handsome male NPCs!"

"I'm calling dibs on him as my husband!"

"Sister, we're just saying, this isn't an online chat room. Pay attention to your image, hey! You're almost drooling!"

As the female players became excited, the male players were also highly interested.

"Beautiful girl! Beautiful girl! The closed beta is already on point from the start!"

"Wow! Silver hair! Red eyes! Bare feet! The official really understands us!"

"Too bad she's not a loli, otherwise it would be a killer!"

This lolicon player had just expressed his regret and shook his head in disappointment when he suddenly shuddered, a chill surging in his heart, making him instinctively shrink his head, looking around in confusion and fear, not daring to have any wild thoughts anymore.

On the high platform, Abnos retracted his gaze.

If it weren't for the preciousness of the Star Traveler Original Bodies and the importance of this experiment, if it were other natives, they would probably be gone already.

"Dear Travelers from afar, welcome to our world."

"Hundreds of years ago, the first generation of Star Travelers left many footprints in this world, saved many lives, and established a deep bond with us."

"And now, with the help of the first-generation Star Travelers, our world is strong enough to accommodate more Travelers. I am very honored to witness this moment, to see the Travelers of the past come here again and fight alongside our world! I believe you will inherit the will of the first-generation Star Travelers and also leave your own stories and footprints in countless worlds."

The silver-haired girl's opening remarks made the closed beta players nod in agreement, as they could also resonate with it and had a deep understanding. Those who could be selected as closed beta players were basically die-hard fans of Fallen Chronicles, so naturally they could empathize with it.

The term "Star Traveler" was a new term in Fallen Chronicles III, referring to the players.

And the first-generation Star Travelers mentioned by the silver-

haired Mina should refer to those players ofFallen Chronicles I and Fallen Chronicles II.

It seemed that the story of Fallen Chronicles III this time took place hundreds of years after Fallen Chronicles II world, and it was no longer a turn-based game, but a real open-world exploration RPG!

"You are currently inside the Ashen Train. We are the train's administrators. There is still a short time before we arrive at our destination, the Vasian 3 world. If you have any questions during this period, you can ask us."

As soon as Abnos finished speaking, a player immediately raised their hand.

"What is the Ashen Train?"

This setting didn't exist in the previous Fallen Chronicles I and Fallen Chronicles II, and was obviously a unique creation of Fallen Chronicles III.

"Look out the window."

At the succubus's indication, the players came to the huge light screen of the carriage. Through the light screen, they could see the scenery outside the train.

It was a vast and immense starry world tree, and on the trunk of the world tree, there were crisscrossing tracks, with numerous trains running and shuttling on them.
