Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

Moreover, moreover, moreover...

The train travels along its designated track, moving forward continuously.

Pay attention!

This man named Xiaoshuai decided to treat himself better today.

"Sizzle!"

The metal tab of the Pepsi was pulled open, and snow-white foam instantly gushed out. Lu Xingyuan tilted his head back and ate half the can, then let out a satisfied burp.

Once his tense nerves had calmed down a bit, he got up and started working, moving the electric vehicles piled up in the first car to the second car.

Yes, that's right. He has now become a proud second-class train conductor and has been assigned a brand new carriage.

That's why he was able to successfully transfer the bald man and the supplies from the wavy-haired truck without any waste.

After all, Lu Xingyuan knew all too well how difficult it was to obtain upgrade materials.

The two people's train was successfully disassembled into a pile of materials and placed at the end of the second carriage.

Even a single-stage train, when disassembled, yields far more materials than one might imagine.

"Isn't this tantamount to encouraging train conductors to fight each other?"

Exploring the platform will expose you to unknown and ferocious monsters, but harming your own kind is much simpler and easier, not to mention more efficient.

Shaking with fear, Lu Xingyuan was so frightened that he quickly did two more push-ups.

People are fickle, and so are wives!

If you don't work hard to improve your skills, you'll end up shining shoes for others sooner or later.

"Okay, it's almost done cleaning up."

The second carriage was much larger than the initial carriage, which allowed Lu Xingyuan to transfer all the collected supplies there.

"This game is way too stingy; it doesn't even give you a basic backpack."

After silently greeting the planner, Lu Xingyuan finally turned his attention to the upgrade notification.

[Train Upgrade and Renovation!]

This is one of the basic mechanics of the game.

Each time the train levels up, three optional upgrades will be unlocked, which can be implemented using train coins.

At this moment, he is presented with three options:

[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).]

【Comfortable Sleep - White (1 Train Coin): Obtain a comfortable 2-meter bed.】

[External Armor Plate - Green (2 Train Coins): Adds light armor to key parts of the entire train. Permanently increases the train's durability by 10 points and provides a slowly regenerating "temporary shield" upon each stop.]

The upgrade levels of trains, like those of stations, are divided into five levels: white, green, blue, purple, and gold. The higher the level, the more train coins are required.

He had already opened the level 1 treasure chest in the Jinshui Street station, which contained only 2 train coins.

So, he now has a total of 5, which is just enough for him to complete the three modifications.

The delayed departure goes without saying.

The most worthwhile investment for the initial train coins is "time" itself.

An extra hour of looting is enough to make the snowball of resources start rolling much faster.

Secondly, there's the external armor plating, which is also a very important modification.

After all, the beginner phase is over now.

The train is no longer protected; monsters on the platform, or any other creatures of its kind, can damage it.

The game gave a prompt the moment the train started:

[New player protection has ended!]

The following section details the train's durability:

A Class 1 train has 100 durability points.

Two hundred points for the second-class train.

Three hundred points for the third-class train.

……

Similarly, for each level a train advances, it gains 100 points of durability.

Once the durability reaches zero, it means the train conductor is eliminated.

While 10 points of durability may not seem like much, don't forget that it also provides a slow-regenerating temporary shield that refreshes for free each time the train arrives at a station, offering the train a shield equivalent to 20 points of durability.

Lu Xingyuan waved his hand.

Let's get these two modifications done first.

Four train tickets were deducted from my hand in an instant.

and many more!

wrong!

The metal stored in the second carriage was also confiscated.

So modifying this external armor plate used my own materials? Are you even human? You want my coins and my materials? You might as well just give me your life!

This modification was really expensive; it cost him two hundred units of metal.

It was fortunate that he had collected enough materials; otherwise, even if he had spent money to buy the modification, it wouldn't have taken effect immediately.

The effects of the external armor plating modification can be clearly seen from inside the vehicle.

The most obvious difference is in the tactile sensation—the train feels more solid and weighty as it travels; visually, the inner walls are also covered with a rough metal layer, making them appear extremely reliable.

Seeing this, Lu Xingyuan felt a little better and then proceeded to modify the comfortable sleeping area as well.

Sleeping on that cold floor was really uncomfortable for him; his back ached, and he felt unwell every time he woke up.

With this comfortable bed, I imagine I'll feel much better.

Carefully pouring some water from the mineral water bottle and washing his face, Lu Xingyuan then looked at the new line of notifications.

[Should I draw a new colored Hextech item?]

While his achievements today are undoubtedly due to his hard work, it is undeniable that his talent has also played a small but significant role.

If you can't bathe and burn incense, washing your face might bring you good luck.

Lu Xingyuan pressed the extraction button!

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Colored Hextech: Prism Pipe!]

[Hextech Explanation: Each time you reach a new station, you will receive a Prismatic Orb filled with valuable loot. The quality of the loot in the orb increases with the train's level.]

"..."

Lu Xingyuan fell silent.

Isn't this a bit too buggy?

With this Hextech, I can live a good life even if I don't get out of the car!

Lu Xingyuan was already looking forward to the Prismatic Orb that would drop when the train arrived at its destination tomorrow.

Tomorrow is definitely going to be a good day!

Upon arriving at the control panel, Lu Xingyuan discovered that his friend request list had inexplicably increased to 99+.

[Train conductor 'Zhang Tao' has requested to add you as a friend, with the message: 'Big brother, give this newbie a hand!']

[Train conductor "Wang Lili" has requested to add you as a friend, with the message: Are you there? Are you interested in mature women with E-cup breasts?]

[Train conductor Zhao Qing has requested to add you as a friend, with the following message: Handsome guy, if you accept my friend request, I can give you my used perfume for free~]

[Train conductor "Oman" has requested to add you as a friend, with the following message: Holy crap, bro, how did you do that? It's only the third stop, and you've already leveled up to level two! That's amazing! Can I have a friend request?]
