Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

Chapter 427 Tristi 2.0

The third item in the treasure chest is a special type of prop.

【Virtual Realm Coolant: Paradoxical Ice Core】

[Category: Extraordinary Creations]

[Level: 5]

[Note: This is a paradoxical crystal born from the Frozen Abyss of the Void, defying conventional laws of physics. Contact with high temperatures triggers a "condensation effect," forcibly compressing violent thermal energy into extremely cold kinetic energy.]

What appeared before everyone was a fist-sized, translucent crystal with unusually rounded edges.

Its outermost layer is covered with a layer of dark blue frost glass. When you reach out to touch it, you don't feel cold at all; instead, you feel a burning sensation.

Teemo frantically moved his hands back and forth, hissing and growling incessantly.

"It's so hot."

It was only then that he noticed that a mass of dark red magma was sealed within the core of the crystal.

This surprised him; the two should have been irreconcilable, yet they coexisted in a paradoxical way.

"What's this thing used for?"

Teemo eventually threw it back to the ground.

"I don't know."

Lu Xingyuan stroked his chin.

Could it be like Obsidian from IronZone, that can be added during train upgrades to give the train additional effects?

Just then, Rambo, who had been half-lying on the sofa, seemed to smell blood like a shark. He pushed away Teemo's head, which was in his way, and stared intently at the strange crystal in front of him, his pupils seemingly being sucked into it.

Just as Teemo was about to say something, he noticed that Rumble's eyes were flashing with light, as if they were colliding with the crystal and creating the most dazzling sparks.

He immediately swallowed his words, only offering a reminder:

"This belongs to the boss; you should know the rules, right?"

Lambo took a deep breath and looked up at Lu Xingyuan:

"Boss, can I have this? I want it."

Seeing that Lu Xingyuan didn't speak, he emphasized his tone again.

"I need to."

"It might be able to be installed on my Tristan."

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the dilapidated mecha.

Although Rambo has successfully tamed the Undying Flame, making Tristy's flames exceptionally violent and increasing their power by more than tenfold, the mech is still in a dilapidated state, as if it could be scrapped at any moment.

"Are you sure this thing will work on your Tristan?"

Teemo looked suspicious.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I don't want you to waste the boss's precious materials. After all, this is a level five extraordinary creation, not some cheap, common item."

Rambo scratched his head and said in an uncertain tone:

"Maybe, perhaps, it should be possible..."

Unlike Heimerdinger's meticulous academic style, he was entirely self-taught and his main style was rough and fierce.

He never cared whether the machine met safety standards or energy efficiency; he only cared whether the flames were hot enough and whether the harpoon could pierce the armor.

For him, a machine that can win is a good machine.

It is precisely because of this invention philosophy that experimental accidents are commonplace for him.

This means he can't be 100% sure that the paradoxical ice core won't be wasted in a small accident.

Rambo, known for his fiery temper and loud voice, fell silent, gazing longingly at Lu Xingyuan.

He didn't know what to say at that moment, because he was never good at saying those sentimental or moving things.

Fortunately, his boss was a good boss.

"Look at what you're saying! So what if it's a waste? What's the big deal?"

Lu Xingyuan chuckled and said:

"It's just a level 5 item."

Before Rambo could even feel moved, Lu Xingyuan abruptly changed the subject:

"Besides, I trust you."

Those four simple words shattered Rambo's last line of defense.

His eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Vision became blurry.

So much so that Lu Xingyuan's figure in front of me was so tall!

"Boss... Boss!"

Rambo spoke through tears!

He was completely captivated by Lu Xingyuan's personal charm!

"With a leader like that, I'd die happy!"

Timo, standing to the side, moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

But in the end, he swallowed all those teasing words and simply patted the other person on the shoulder.

He understands, he understands everything.

Because he too had been moved by Lu Xingyuan's gentleness!

As for shedding tears?

Men, cry, it's not a sin!

After obtaining the Paradox Ice Core, Rambo immediately threw himself into intensive research and development.

He had to live up to Lu Xingyuan's trust and not let Lu Xingyuan down.

Perhaps it was with Lu Xingyuan's support that the process went exceptionally smoothly.

He succeeded in less than three hours!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The sixth carriage, which originally belonged to Wang Tianhua, has now been converted into Rambo's temporary laboratory.

The maniacal laughter echoed directly from there to the first carriage.

"I did it!"

"I'm so awesome!"

"I'm simply a genius!"

At this moment, Lu Xingyuan was massaging Alice's little feet.

In her words: You've already given Gu Wanqing a massage, so why can't I?

Lu Xingyuan was bewildered; he simply couldn't grasp the logical connection between them.

But who can blame him for spoiling him?

Since Alice had spoken, he was naturally satisfied and gently massaged the little girl's pink and smooth little feet.

"Now that we've finished, let's go check out Lambo's work."

Lu Xingyuan gently lowered Alice's little feet from his knees and thoughtfully put white cotton socks on her. The socks had cute little yellow duck patterns on them and were decorated with a circle of lace.

Alice nodded, her cheeks flushed.

Even though the technician was more skilled, why did Lu Xingyuan give her a stronger feeling?

Teemo charged ahead and arrived at the sixth carriage, where he immediately spotted the mech whose design hadn't changed much.

From a distance, it still looks like a pile of smoking scrap metal, but upon closer inspection, it has an added sense of decay, with "leaking and frosting" on its surface.

"This is my 2.0 version of Tristram, fused with the Paradoxical Ice Core!"

"Shouldn't it be 3.0?"

Teemo muttered something.

Can't the Undying Flame be considered a new version?

"Don't be fooled by its seemingly unchanged appearance; its underlying core code has undergone a complete transformation!"

Rambo's face was covered in oil grime, but it couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

"I successfully implanted it into the mech's reactor. Instead of extinguishing the flames, it directly converted heat energy into extreme cold kinetic energy, increasing the mech's energy ceiling by 25%, completely solving the problem of excessively rapid evaporation of traditional coolants!"

His mech would occasionally enter a red-temperature overload state because the traditional coolant evaporated too quickly.

But now that problem has been solved.

This means that he no longer needs to worry about any red temperature warnings!

"Congratulations!"

Teemo was genuinely happy for Rumble.

Even if this person is your love rival.

But what could he do? He was just like him, a subordinate of the boss.

If he becomes stronger, he can share more of the pressure with the boss, and the boss won't have to work so hard.

"You're congratulating me too soon."

Lamborghini was smug and looked down on everyone.

"Influenced by the Paradoxical Ice Core, my harpoon has now been endowed with new properties!"

Extreme cold freezing!
