Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

Three minutes later.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

The octopus captain, his face bruised and swollen, covered in bumps, immediately became obedient.

"I wholeheartedly suggest you cut off the third leg. It's so tender there! Whether you stir-fry it with chives or grill and pan-fry it, it's absolutely delicious! Huh? You're asking me how I know this so well? Well, it's because I've cut it off and eaten it myself when I was starving before."

As it spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared on its face.

"It's so bouncy and delicious!"

With a face full of black lines, Lu Xingyuan kicked it in the rear.

"Don't fucking have such heavy tastes."

"Take me to the place you said has lots of steel right away."

In just one minute, Captain Octopus realized that he couldn't beat Lu Xingyuan, so he readily chose to surrender and said that he knew where he could find what he wanted.

Lu Xingyuan was not a man of indiscriminate killing. After confirming that the other party was a genuine coward with little cunning, he promptly sheathed his sword.

After all, the shipbreaking yard is so big that if you wander around aimlessly by yourself, it will take forever to find the materials you want. With the help of locals, it will be much easier.

"This is it."

Captain Octopus suddenly stopped and pointed ahead.

Lu Xingyuan looked over and froze on the spot!

Titanium alloy steel!

Densely packed with titanium alloy steel!

They piled up together, like a small mountain, shimmering with a mesmerizing light!

Next to the titanium alloy steel are neatly stacked bulletproof glass!

The quantity is also incredibly exciting!

He strode forward, and detailed quantity information appeared right in front of him!

1000 units of titanium alloy steel!

1000 units of bulletproof glass!

Yes, that's right!

That's a full 1000 units!!!

Before I thought of him, I had worked so hard and exhausted myself to earn just one unit!

To be able to obtain three to five units at once is an extremely fortunate thing!

He was even willing to sell his body for just a few units of materials!

But what happened next was quite unexpected; 1000 units of titanium alloy steel and bulletproof glass appeared!

It's worth noting that the amount of titanium alloy steel and bulletproof glass needed to upgrade a train from Class 3 to Class 4 is only 80 units and 30 units respectively!

In other words, this huge pile of materials in front of us could upgrade at least ten trains to level four!

Seeing this, Captain Octopus couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

"Harmful!"

"If you had said these materials were so important to you earlier, I would have just moved them over for you, wouldn't that have been enough? Did you have to go through all that trouble and ruin our relationship?"

My poor merman subordinate, he died before he could even marry your sister. Alas, it's truly heartbreaking.

"What are you all standing there for? Get your men to move these materials to the platform right now!"

Lu Xingyuan kicked the other man's butt again in annoyance, making the octopus captain howl in pain.

It quickly instructed its merman subordinates to transport the materials.

"Be careful! Don't fall!"

With these hard-working laborers helping him, Lu Xingyuan was much more relaxed and quickly moved all the materials to the platform.

Lu Xingyuan glanced at the time.

After all this fuss, it's still not eleven o'clock.

All I can say is that his efficiency is just too high.

Captain Octopus stared at the black train before him, his eyes flashing with amazement.

It rubbed its octopus tentacles, looking at Lu Xingyuan with a somewhat shy and bashful expression.

"Great train conductor, I have a favor to ask."

"Since you know it's an unreasonable request, then don't make it."

Lu Xingyuan glanced at it.

"I……"

Captain Octopus blushed.

"Don't do this, aren't we friends?"

ha?

Whose friends were fighting like this, almost knocking the dog's brains out?

Captain Octopus reluctantly spoke, not caring what Lu Xingyuan thought.

Actually, I hope you can take me away.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Xingyuan narrowed his eyes.

"I want to... get on your train and travel with you."

Captain Octopus looked like he was ready to go all out.

"I don't want to be trapped in this small pond; I want to go to a wider world."

The platform is like a pond—it's stagnant, lifeless, and devoid of hope.

The train tracks are like a rushing river, leading to an infinite future.

More importantly, the train conductor is the true protagonist of this world.

It saw unlimited potential in Lu Xingyuan, which is why it took the initiative to cease fire, surrender, and admit defeat.

Otherwise, do you really think it's that easy to get through this platform?

This is a purple-level platform.

It was merely taking the initiative to show goodwill.

"Let me tell you something else that interests me."

Lu Xingyuan raised his chin, signaling the other party to continue.

"Each platform is an independent world."

"But some of these worlds are whole, and some are broken."

Captain Octopus pointed to the giant shipbreaking yard behind him.

"This platform we are on now originally came from a complete world, but due to changes in the world's rules, it was unfortunately forcibly torn into a fragmented little world. Everything you see in front of you is all of this little world; it is so narrow and cramped that it makes it hard to breathe."

It once tried to dive into the sea, wanting to go to farther places, but it crashed headlong into the cold edge of the world.

"The rules of the world are constantly changing, and no one can guarantee that the little world I live in will be completely shattered in the next moment."

Captain Octopus looked up at Lu Xingyuan, his eyes filled with fervor and hope.

"The only reason I want you to take me away is simply to save myself."

Lu Xingyuan frowned slightly.

"Do you know how the world of trains came into being?"

"Why did we become train conductors and embark on this adventure for no apparent reason?"

Captain Octopus shook his head.

"That's beyond my level of knowledge."

It's just a small level four monster.

He's not some world-class boss.

After a long silence, Lu Xingyuan slowly uttered two words.

"Feel sorry."

The octopus captain's smile gradually faded, but he quickly forced a smile back.

"It's okay...it's okay, haha! Actually, I know my request was too abrupt. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so rude and caused you trouble."

"Although I cannot take you away, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can help you fulfill them."

Lu Xingyuan gave it a deep look.

The octopus captain paused for a moment, then a helpless, bitter smile appeared on his face.

"You noticed that?"

"No wonder he was promoted to Level 4 train conductor so quickly, he's truly extraordinary."
