In the center of the iron-gray base stands a jet-black lever, its top wrapped in a brass ring.

The lever is not completely fixed; it can be tilted left or right as desired.

The base has two grooves with symbols engraved on them: a circle on the left and a cross on the right.

Crossroads of Fate

[Category: World Curiosities]

[Note: This ability can break the train's fixed track, splitting its single-track destiny into two independent branches. The holder has absolute autonomy to choose their path, no longer bound by a fixed trajectory, and can control their own direction. Each trigger costs one train coin.]

!!!

Lu Xingyuan was stunned!

Another wonder of the world?

Including his previous "spontaneous trips," he now possesses two world wonders!

And the power of this strange object is equally extraordinary!

It actually allows me to have more destination options!

Others arrive at the same platform every day.

But he has a choice!

If the original platform does not meet his needs, he can simply move the lever and choose to go to another platform.

This really greatly enhanced his autonomy!

If another white platform appears like today, he can simply skip it and go to a higher-level platform instead.

Of course, if the other option is also a white platform, then ignore what I said. No matter how unlucky you are, you can't get two white platforms at the same time, right?

If this cursed crystal is a rare treasure, then he can only say that the misunderstanding has been cleared up.

This egg is not a curse at all, but an opportunity!

However, this opportunity is so great that most people can't seize it.

"Sister Shou, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead here today."

"And I have to thank you for letting me seize this opportunity, otherwise I would have really just left it in Wangjia Village."

It turns out that Sister Shou had already seen through everything and knew how extraordinary it was, which is why she took the initiative to bring it into the car.

Waaah, the misunderstanding is cleared up. Sister Shou is one of us, not a bad person.

It was just an arm, but Lu Xingyuan could inexplicably read a hint of arrogance in it, as if it were saying: Humph! Now you realize I'm a good person?

"Oh, don't be angry, give me a kiss."

Lu Xingyuan kissed the back of his hand directly.

Hmm, it's even more fragrant and softer than I imagined, and it even retains a trace of body warmth.

In other words, the owner of this arm is still alive, right?

What exactly happened to the owner of this arm that led to such a fate?

The arm clearly hadn't expected Lu Xingyuan to do something so perverse. After a two-second pause, it began frantically rubbing itself against the blanket.

Ugh! Saliva! It's saliva! It's disgusting!

Upon arriving at the control panel, Lu Xingyuan realized that it was already 8 p.m.

Holy crap, did all this trouble really take so long?

Private messages have already exploded.

Gu Wanqing sent 99 messages.

Cai Cai sent a hundred messages.

Both of them were extremely worried about his disappearance.

Gu Wanqing: "Hey! Damn it, you've disappeared again?"

"Speak! Speak up! Where are you?! What's the meaning of deliberately ignoring your sister Qing and not replying to her messages? Are you playing hard to get?"

"No, you're not really dead, are you? Have you forgotten your promise to me that if you really were dead, you would at least drag your injured body to transfer all the supplies on the train to me?"

Cai Cai: "Brother Lu, the pistol you gave me is really powerful! I used it to kill a zombie on the platform! I can only say that I'm so grateful for the pistol you gave me, otherwise I'm afraid I would never have seen you again."

"Hmm? Are you alright? Why haven't you replied to my messages?"

"Brother Lu, what's wrong? Did something happen to you? Don't scare me! Waaah!"

It felt really good to be cared for. Lu Xingyuan felt a warmth in his heart as he read the messages. He quickly replied to the two of them, saying that he had just gone through a fierce battle and was so exhausted that he had passed out.

Cai Cai didn't reply. Instead, a few minutes later, he sent her a plate of stir-fried wolf meat that he had cooked himself.

This wolf meat was given to her by Lu Xingyuan last time.

"Brother Lu, you must be starving after such a fierce battle! Eat quickly! Replenish your energy!"

Lu Xingyuan was moved to tears.

As expected of the god I nurtured, he is indeed gentle and considerate.

On the other hand, Gu Wanqing said, "Really? I thought you had fainted."

Listen to this! Is this even human language?!

You're supposed to be a model student, the homeroom teacher's most trusted assistant, and the school's most outstanding student!

Who would have thought that she secretly smokes and drinks alcohol?

After eating the stir-fried wolf meat, Lu Xingyuan inquired about Gu Wanqing and Cai Cai's progress in leveling up.

"The main problem is that it's still a bit difficult for me to level up to level four, so I might as well help you level up first."

After the train is upgraded, it not only has one more carriage, but also an extra 100 points of durability!

Furthermore, and most importantly, it can refresh the train modification function.

"Isn't it a little too late that you're only realizing this now!"

Gu Wanqing grumbled and cursed.

It turns out that her previous mention of upgrading materials was a hint.

This implies that Lu Xingyuan can get rich first and then help others get rich later.

"Back when you leveled up to level three, I contributed quite a few upgrade materials for you!"

"But don't worry, your sister Qing isn't one to sit idly by. I've gathered a lot of upgrade materials myself, and now I'm just one step away from reaching level three."

Five units of circuit board, plus ten units of rubber.

Lu Xingyuan sent it directly.

Gu Wanqing then sent him a screenshot of the updated upgrade and modification.

[Extended Departure - Green (2 Train Coins): After the upgrade, the maximum stop time for the train at the platform will be increased by 1 hour. You can still choose to depart at the original time (11:00).]

[Automatic Repair - Blue (8 Train Coins): Installs an automatic repair module on the train, enabling it to repair itself autonomously.]

【Freshwater Collection - Green (5 Train Coins): A water collection device is installed on the top of the train. At each station, a small amount of clean fresh water is automatically collected.】

I rely on!

Such good luck!

Lu Xingyuan instantly lost his balance.

That automatic repair was activated only after he used the blue modification card.

But what happened to Gu Wanqing?

We won without paying any price!

Why should I?

Just because she has a big face?

"fart!"

"I have a perfectly oval face!"

"It's not that I have a big face!"

"I guess I was lucky to get the auto-repair feature, unlike you, who had bad luck!"

"And this freshwater collection, aren't you tempted? You can get free and safe freshwater resources every time you arrive at a station."

How could Lu Xingyuan not be tempted?

Although it's the rainy season now and there's a lot of rain outside, you can't drink this rainwater. Some people have already tested it themselves and found that drinking it can cause various illnesses, ranging from mild diarrhea to severe fever. Plus, with the dampness, even Ultraman would have to give you a bad look.
