Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

"It's been three hours already, and the boss still hasn't returned?"

in the carriage.

Timo paced nervously back and forth, staring at the ticking clock.

He knew that Lu Xingyuan had gone to visit someone else in the carriage.

But isn't this visit a little too long?

His mind involuntarily conjured up all sorts of terrifying images:

Cai Cai transformed into a terrifying man-eating monster, relentlessly biting Lu Xingyuan. Lu Xingyuan was utterly overwhelmed and was routed, losing all his armor and weapons...

"Waaaaah, no! Please don't let this terrible thing happen..."

Little Timo was so anxious he almost cried.

Finally, at that moment, a flash of light appeared in the carriage, and Lu Xingyuan, dressed neatly but with slightly unsteady steps, returned.

He didn't use the remaining teleport.

Instead, it activated the anchor pocket watch.

After all, the anchor pocket watch can only be used once a day, and it's almost 12 o'clock, so why not use it?

"Boss, are you alright?"

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Timo excitedly rushed over.

Unexpectedly, this almost knocked Lu Xingyuan flying.

"Boss!"

Timo was both surprised and panicked.

"Why do you look so weak?"

"Ahem!"

Lu Xingyuan couldn't help but cough twice.

You can't blame him; blame Cai Cai for being too wild.

Especially the line "My aunt just passed away..." made him unable to resist.

Fortunately, his hard work during this period was not in vain, which allowed him to retain his dignity as a man.

"Dad, there's something about you..."

Alice, like a kitten, sniffed incessantly in front of Lu Xingyuan.

Then she seemed to realize something,

"Bad woman!"

"Cai Cai is a bad woman!"

Timo looked completely bewildered.

Sister Cai Cai cooks so many delicious meals for them every day, how is she a bad woman?

Meanwhile, Sister Shou, lying on the bed, once again expressed strong contempt.

Lu Xingyuan couldn't take it anymore.

"I think I'll go take a shower."

After taking a hot shower, he clearly felt much more alive.

However… looking down at his slightly trembling legs, he decided that his plan to train at the Multiverse Martial Arts Arena tonight had to be canceled.

Who says Cai Cai isn't a master?

He took out the armor-piercing bullet crafting table; he had all the necessary materials.

In particular, among the prismatic spheres obtained at today's stop, there are 500 units of hardened alloy.

As the materials were added, the workbench began to tremble slightly.

A short while later, five armor-piercing bullets appeared in front of Lu Xingyuan.

Their overall size is slightly larger than that of ordinary bullets. The cartridge case is dark and sturdy. The most eye-catching feature is the bullet, which abandons the rounded shape and is replaced by a sharp alloy cone. The surface has a cold, hard, matte iron color, and the texture is dense and hard. The workmanship is neat and sharp.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is a specially made ammunition designed to tear through thick armor.

After producing a batch of armor-piercing bullets, Lu Xingyuan put them up for sale on the trading channel.

The price for 10 armor-piercing rounds was set at 5 train coins.

This is an absolutely outrageously high price!

After all, the materials needed to make armor-piercing shells are incredibly cheap in the trading channel.

Lu Xingyuan made a net profit of four out of the five train tickets.

Even so, the armor-piercing rounds were all snapped up as soon as they were put on the shelves.

In less than half an hour.

Lu Xingyuan then reaped a hefty 100 train coins.

"Let's pay back the money we owe Gu Wanqing first."

Lu Xingyuan made contact with the other party.

After readily accepting the money, the other party inquired about Cai Cai's situation with great concern.

"I just contacted her, and several hours have passed, but I haven't heard from her at all. Could something have happened to her?"

amount……

Lu Xingyuan scratched his chin awkwardly.

If we're talking about accidents, then he was the accident itself.

"It's nothing, she's probably just overworked."

"Are you really alright?"

"You still don't trust me?"

"Oh well."

Gu Wanqing knew that worrying was useless, so she stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, if something really happens to Cai Cai, Lu Xingyuan will probably be more heartbroken than she is.

"But then again, you bastard, you actually leveled up to level five so quickly."

She launched into another long tirade of curses.

The criticism intensified, especially after seeing the purple and gold modifications.

"You just wait!"

"Even without using a gold upgrade card, I can still get a gold upgrade!"

Lu Xingyuan chuckled.

Do you really think that getting a gold-tier upgrade is that easy?

Sister Qing, the worst thing you can do in life is to take yourself too seriously.

……

the next day.

Lu Xingyuan ate a few pieces of bread, which was his breakfast.

Timo had a pained expression on his face.

The bread was good, but he missed Cai Cai's delicious cooking even more.

"So, what exactly happened to Sister Cai Cai?"

Lu Xingyuan remained silent.

He specifically told Cai Cai to rest well and not to think about cooking breakfast for him.

Although it was their first time last night, the intensity of their encounter would put many experienced players to shame.

Therefore, taking care of one's health is the most important thing.

He naturally received Gu Wanqing's question as well.

"Cai Cai is acting strangely. She said she wanted to rest today and wouldn't go to the platform to explore. Do you know why?"

"I don't know."

It's just that Gu Wanqing wasn't there, otherwise she would have noticed Lu Xingyuan's evasive gaze.

"Really? I have a feeling this has something to do with you."

Ah, is this the intuition of a top-tier expert?

That's quite perceptive.

"Enough of that, hurry up and help me figure out what's going on with this platform."

The two platforms that appeared in front of Lu Xingyuan were the blue multi-person platform - Arctic Frozen Land and the purple multi-person platform - Water Bay City.

Since both platforms had multiple attendees, Lu Xingyuan's preference for the blue platform naturally decreased significantly.

And just from the name, you can tell that the far north permafrost must be freezing cold.

Water Bay City seems like the best option.

Of course, gathering intelligence only costs one train coin.

Lu Xingyuan simply sent Gu Wanqing the names of both platforms and also transferred twenty train coins to her as a fee for gathering intelligence.

As it turned out, Lu Xingyuan's judgment was accurate; the far northern tundra indeed didn't have many good resources, only two level-one treasure chests and one level-two treasure chest.

Lu Xingyuan had long since stopped caring about low-level treasure chests, as they yielded little of value, mostly just daily necessities and basic materials.

The rewards for Water Bay City are much more generous.

"The possible reward includes two keys to a level 5 treasure chest!"

This crucial intelligence immediately lifted Lu Xingyuan's spirits!

A level 5 treasure chest key!?

He happened to have a level 5 treasure chest in his hand!

It seems I absolutely have to go to Water Bay City!
