Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

"Damn it! Two coins it is! Just send the money already!"

Gu Wanqing said, her teeth itching.

These are a pair of stockings belonging to a female college student.

If it were put on the trading channel, it could sell for at least ten train coins. But Lu Xingyuan did something else and chopped it right off his ankle!

"What do you mean, 'transfer money'? You're the one transferring money to me!"

Lu Xingyuan gripped the white stockings in his hand with annoyance.

"You must compensate me for my emotional distress!"

"What the hell?! Are you even human?!"

"You slammed that smelly sock onto my hand with a thud, shouldn't you compensate me?"

"Stinky??? Smell it for yourself, it smells amazing!"

"..."

"Boss...you...you're in Gan Shenmo?"

Teemo's expression was strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"This is just a special training method. Strong willpower is cultivated, not created out of thin air."

Lu Xingyuan's expression turned serious again, and he stuffed the socks into the dimensional black stockings with his other hand.

Damn it, it's all Gu Wanqing's fault! She almost ruined my reputation!

"All right……"

Timo scratched his head, looking somewhat confused.

"So smelling socks can actually build willpower? I've learned that way, but I've completely failed!"

All the ripe Thunder Blueberries were handed over to Cai Cai.

She was extremely excited.

"Wow!"

"This is top-quality ingredient!"

"With this, I can make even more delicious little cakes!"

Dressed in a black and white maid outfit and holding a golden shovel, she suddenly had a burst of inspiration.

Lu Xingyuan didn't bother her any longer and turned his attention to a rusty iron horseshoe.

Inverted horseshoe

[Note: Hanging it on your waist or outside your backpack will inexplicably afflict nearby enemies: their critical hit rate will be reduced by 20%, and every 30 seconds there is a 5% chance that their weapon will jam/arrows will miss/spells will malfunction during an attack, rendering the attack ineffective.]

Surprisingly, it's a rare item that inflicts negative effects on enemies.

Lu Xingyuan nodded in satisfaction, and then hung it on Timo's backpack.

"For me?"

Timo was somewhat surprised, then immediately refused, saying, "Boss, you should keep it for yourself."

"You can't always think of me when there are good things, and not choose yourself."

If you're too nice to him, he'll cry.

"I don't need it, but you do."

"Besides, I definitely gave it to you after careful consideration, so don't feel too guilty."

Lu Xingyuan rubbed his little head.

"A real man doesn't cry."

Timo immediately straightened his head and said, "Yes!"

She forcibly held back the tears welling up in her eyes.

But... I just can't hold it in!

"Wow!"

He cried very loudly.

I was so touched!

Alice pulled out a tissue and wiped away the tears that were falling wildly to the ground.

"Sister Alice, I'm a grown man, but even grown men sometimes feel like crying, right?"

"right."

Alice nodded.

Alice understood, because she also felt endless love from her father.

Hearing that he was still a real man, Timo was completely relieved.

As the Badge of Will upgraded, it burned out completely, reaching its limit.

But there is also good news.

Once the cooldown of the Ice Spear is over, it can transform and reassemble at the next stop!

It's important to know that while the Frost Throwing Spear is powerful, it's only a level four extraordinary artifact!

Now, Lu Xingyuan is almost ready to gather all the materials needed to upgrade the train to level six!

And now it's finally its turn!

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Lu Xingyuan. It wasn't that he was procrastinating and forgot, but rather that the cooldown time was a bit too long!

Thankfully, it finally arrived.

Chat interface.

Private messages are flashing.

Upon opening the link, Lu Xingyuan was astonished to find that the other party was the shy young man he had teamed up with in the previous stop.

"Boss, Wang Tianhua keeps sending me private messages, trying to get that information out of me."

"It wasn't just him; the other train conductors at the previous station were also trying to get information out of me."

"What should I do?"

Lu Xingyuan glanced at the time.

It's already 8 PM.

In other words, winter will end in four hours, and the announcement of the opening of a special instance will also be made.

If that's the case...

"Sell him the intelligence? Is that even possible?"

"Yes. Not only should we sell, but we should sell at a high price."

Wang Tianhua on the other side.

"Telling me isn't out of the question, but you'll have to show enough sincerity."

His eyes lit up.

"So you've finally given in? I thought you were incredibly loyal to Lu Xingyuan!"

He inexplicably felt a sense of excitement at having turned Lu Xingyuan into a minotaur!

A message was sent immediately:

"Sure! You know my capabilities, so name your price!"

"Thirty train coins!"

Wang Tianhua hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Thirty it is!"

Soon, he obtained that crucial intelligence.

"What? Winter is almost over?"

"What? Only train conductors of level five or higher are eligible to receive invitations to that special instance?"

He initially thought the thirty train tickets were a waste of money, but now he realizes they were totally worth it!

Wang Tianhua's first thought was to tell Yuan Shan the news.

Because he remembered that Yuan Shan was only at level four, not even level five.

He clicked on Yuan Shan's profile picture and noticed that she had already reached level five. That was even better!

Yuan Shan replied with a simple "Oh".

"How indifferent!"

Wang Tianhua felt somewhat sad, but he tried to comfort himself.

"Maybe she's just a slow-to-warm-up girl!"

A short while later, he received a private message from his underling.

"Boss! Big news! Winter is almost over! A special dungeon is about to open!"

I rub!

Wang Tianhua was stunned.

"No? Where did you get this information from?"

"I bought this from someone else for one train coin."

"...Steal...steal a young master!? A train coin?! My goodness!"

By the time Wang Tianhua realized what was happening, the message had already been sent for free, and everyone in the chat channel knew about it.

"Holy crap! Is winter finally over? I was wondering why it's been so cold these past few days; it was just the darkness before dawn!"

"Is it only train conductors of level 5 or higher who can participate in special dungeons? Why can't we low-level train conductors participate? This is unfair!"

"So there's no second settlement??? Holy crap! I'm devastated! I was waiting for the rewards from the second settlement! Even if my ranking isn't high, every little bit helps!"

"I'm fucking one step away from level 5! Any kind soul willing to lend me a hand? Once I get back from the special dungeon and get the rewards, I'll definitely share some with you!"

"I fucking want to level up to level five too! I fucking want to participate in the special dungeon challenges! But I've tried my best and I'm only at level three! What can I do? I'm desperate!"
