Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

As various factions vied for control of the train conductor who could produce bullets, the chat channel erupted in a tremendous uproar.

"Twenty train coins plus all the costs of upgrading to level three, and they even arrange a wife for you! What kind of heavenly treatment is this?!"

"My God, isn't this amazing!"

"I offered to pay 5 train coins to get the Crimson Legion to add me to their team, and they rejected me outright. But this guy, they're practically fighting over him!"

"There's nothing we can do. He's an exceptional talent. If you could also produce bullets, you could get the same treatment."

"Thinking about it carefully, this is normal. After all, bullets are scarce now. Having firearms is not enough; you also need bullets to truly have a say."

Lu Xingyuan watched with great interest as the various forces competed for the man.

Ultimately, the train conductor was captured by the Crimson Legion.

The train conductor, who was capable of producing bullets, was ultimately just a young man. How could he resist the temptation of beauty? Upon seeing the roster, he instantly lost himself. With so many beautiful women at his disposal, how was he any different from an ancient emperor?

"Lu Xingyuan, I know you're watching. Are you envious?"

Gu Wanqing sent a private message at this time, which clearly showed that she was also lurking in the chat channel and had witnessed the whole thing.

"His ability to produce bullets must be an innate talent. Aren't you envious of his amazing talent?"

Lu Xingyuan: "It's alright."

Is his talent really inferior to the other person's?

Gu Wanqing: "Oh my, so your talent must be amazing? Tell your sister Qing, I'm known for keeping secrets, I would never tell anyone else."

Lu Xingyuan thought for a moment: "Tell me about your talent first, to show your sincerity."

Gu Wanqing: "We agreed to be each other's most reliable partners, and you don't even have this much trust. You've really hurt my feelings."

Lu Xingyuan: "Then... shall I rub it for you?"

Gu Wanqing: "Get out!"

It would be impossible for him not to be stirred by everything that happened in the chat channel.

He realized once again how precious bullets, as a consumable item, truly are.

Thankfully, my first Hextech mode was URF (Ultra Rapid Fire).

Otherwise, he would have to be like the train conductors in the chat channel, offering high prices to buy bullets, and even having to be mindful of the seller's attitude.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Gu Wanqing and asked curiously, "Sister Qing, your crossbow... doesn't it need to be used up?"

Gu Wanqing: "How could that be? Even my crossbow needs bolts. Aren't I haggling with the bolt seller right now?"

However, compared to general-purpose bullets, the market for consumables like crossbows is relatively smaller, so the price won't be too outrageous, and many people are willing to sell them.

Previously, Gu Wanqing had exchanged one train coin for thirty crossbow bolts. Now the price is slightly higher, and one train coin can only be exchanged for twenty bolts.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have exchanged more."

Lu Xingyuan listened with great interest as Gu Wanqing recounted how meticulously she used each crossbow bolt. After all, he had never experienced anything like this before, so he had no idea what it meant to "use them sparingly" or "reuse crossbow bolts." He simply aimed at the enemy, pulled the trigger, and left the rest to Hex.

Infinite Firepower is great and powerful, but what's even more commendable is that the Transformer doesn't erase its characteristics.

Otherwise, the general-purpose bullets wouldn't be compatible with the Blazing Revolver in his hand; he'd need more expensive special-purpose bullets!

When I turned my attention back to the chat channel, I found that everyone's chat topics changed very quickly.

All the train conductors were discussing the weather.

"The rain hasn't stopped here either. Damn it, just as I was about to set off, a level 2 zombie appeared out of nowhere and chewed a hole in my truck bed. It's still not plugged, and the rain keeps pouring into my truck bed. I have to use a ladle every now and then to dredge the rainwater out, but it's killing me!"

"The left side of my carriage was also attacked by the monster, and a hole was formed. Rainwater keeps pouring in, and now the entire floor is wet. It's so uncomfortable."

"Don't your carriages get damp? Although my carriage wasn't attacked and is perfectly sealed, it still feels damp and sticky inside."

"As a man from the North, I simply can't stand this environment. I feel like I'm going to grow mold on my body. I used to yearn for the idyllic scenery of the Jiangnan water towns, but now I don't yearn for it at all."

"Selling quicklime powder. DM me if you need quicklime powder. Quicklime powder can absorb moisture in the carriage and prevent it from getting moldy and rotten."

quicklime powder?

Lu Xingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly messaged the train conductor privately, then traded the remaining few rotten bananas for 3 kilograms of lime powder from him.

These fruits were obtained from the first few stops, and they've been sitting here for a while now. They were already showing signs of rotting, and now with the rainy season, they're so damp. If we don't eat them soon, we'll really have to throw them in the trash.

"You can put this quicklime in a cloth bag or a wooden box and place it in a corner of the carriage. Quicklime can efficiently absorb moisture from the air and inhibit mold growth, so it's very cost-effective. At this price, you'll definitely get a great deal."

The seller was quite responsible and even patiently explained the correct usage method to Lu Xingyuan.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the other party knew of Lu Xingyuan's great reputation and therefore wanted to leave a good impression on Lu Xingyuan and establish a long-term partnership with this big shot.

"Make sure to put it in a bag, and never touch it with your bare hands."

"The lime will become soft after absorbing moisture, so remember to replace it in time."

Following the other party's instructions, Lu Xingyuan began to spread lime in the first carriage.

He was temporarily unable to manage the second and third carriages.

"It seems to be somewhat useful..."

Lu Xingyuan carefully felt around and realized that the humidity did indeed seem to have decreased.

But very soon...

"Damn it, the lime clumped up so quickly."

Lime was useful, but the humidity inside the carriage was simply too high.

To completely dry the carriage, at least several dozen kilograms of lime would be needed.

Gu Wanqing was also venting her frustrations to Lu Xingyuan.

"This damp, dirty air is causing breakouts on my face!"

"I really need to level up to level three as soon as possible, and hopefully then I can unlock the air conditioner modification feature so I can dehumidify!"
