Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

The final result of the battle was, naturally, defeat.

Even though Lu Xingyuan disregarded the risk of his body collapsing and forcibly used the Heaven-Splitting Strike, he still couldn't kill the dog-headed man.

However… looking at the deep wound on the kobold's body, a relieved smile appeared on his face, at least proving that the opponent was not invincible.

boom!

Pain engulfed them like a tidal wave, followed by endless darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, several hours had passed.

"I was actually unconscious for so many hours?"

Shaking his throbbing head, Lu Xingyuan felt an indescribable soreness in his body, along with a strong sense of tearing.

"My physical condition is still too poor..."

As a high-level skill, Sky-Splitting Strike requires extremely high physical fitness.

Even though he had taken so many tubes of gene-enhancing drugs, which greatly improved his physical abilities, he could only barely reach the level where he could use them, and he couldn't control them as easily as he wanted.

In Sister Shou's words, a true powerhouse can use the Heaven-Splitting Slash without limit, treating it as easily as eating and drinking, with the main focus being on having no pressure.

"I'll train like crazy!"

"I must become the toughest of the tough guys!"

Lu Xingyuan gritted his teeth.

High bursts and long-lasting power are what create miracles!

However, before that, I drank the basic mental enhancement potion.

Unlike basic gene-enhancing agents, it belongs to the extraordinary creations.

[Basic Mental Enhancement Potion]

[Category: Extraordinary Creations]

[Level: 2]

[Note: This potion contains a gentle yet extraordinary power; upon ingestion, it can slightly enhance the drinker's mental strength.]

The liquid in the test tube had a dreamy blue-white color, as if it had been infused with starlight, and it kept shimmering.

The liquid was not very viscous; it was as smooth as water.

Its method of use is somewhat brutal, requiring a sudden, forceful stab into the back of the neck.

Fortunately, Lu Xingyuan had been tortured by the electric chair and had long since forged a resilient heart, so he did not hesitate to plunge the needle into the back of his neck.

The warm energy instantly spread along the blood vessels and nerves at the back of the neck, continuously reaching the brain. As if a switch hidden deep within the brain had been activated, waves of coolness continuously surged forth.

The whole process wasn't painful at all; on the contrary, it was quite pleasant, like chugging a bottle of ice-cold cola on a sweltering summer day.

The effects of the medicine lasted for three minutes before they wore off. Lu Xingyuan carefully felt the changes in his body. His vision was the first thing affected. He could clearly feel that the world in front of him had become clearer, and many details that he usually couldn't notice were now clearly visible.

Secondly, he felt his brain becoming unusually active.

If you ask him now what 8778096 ÷ 1759690 equals, he will tell you without hesitation that it equals 4.98843319.

Whether those two statements are correct or not, just tell me if it's fast or not.

"This is good stuff. If I ever encounter a psycho-zombie again, I definitely won't end up in such a sorry state."

Next came the process of improving physical fitness. Lu Xingyuan went to the electric torture chair and silently adjusted the setting to level 2.

Come on, let the storm rage on!

Three minutes later...

"Waaaaah... Sir, I was wrong, I admit I'm a perverted lolicon, please don't shock me..."

the next day.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Lu Xingyuan has added another batch of Qianhong Lieyan to the shelves.

The rainy season is almost over, so he has to hurry and earn as much as he can.

The newly released "Crimson Blaze" item sold out instantly.

Its demand remains as high as ever.

There's no way around it; every train conductor with ambition wants to push their ranking in this final stretch in order to get a better reward.

"In total, I have more than two hundred train tickets."

Hearing the crisp sound of the silver coins clinking together, he couldn't help but feel great.

9:30.

[Train Operation Notice]

[Next stop: Multi-person platform - Hissing Mine (This station can accommodate up to five trains simultaneously)]

This is a green platform.

Please prepare.

The crossroads of fate in my arms felt slightly warm, and another operation notification popped up.

[Train Operation Notice]

[Next stop: Multi-platform Shuainan Hospital (This station can accommodate up to five trains simultaneously)]

This station is: Blue Platform.

Please prepare.

I was lucky today; neither of the two platforms was white.

The only downside is that there were multiple people at each booth.

After a brief hesitation, Lu Xingyuan chose the blue platform.

Since there are multiple people involved, it might be better to go to the higher-level ones; you might gain more from that.

Lu Xingyuan turned the fork in the road of fate in his hand, chose the right track, and then placed it into the sunflower storage box.

Immediately afterwards, he sent Gu Wanqing the information about the platform where he was about to arrive.

"Never been there."

"My dear Qing-jie, please, do something to help!"

"...If you insult me ​​like that, I'll cry."

"..."

Place the Power Rune into the Shapeshifter.

Yes, that's right. Along with the cooldown reset of the Blazing Revolver, the Power Rune has also been reset and can now transform and recombine.

ten o'clock.

The train, having slowed down, came to a smooth stop at the edge of the platform.

A prismatic ball fell to the ground at his feet.

I picked it up and took a look.

Congratulations on receiving: Potion Gift Pack x1

[Potion Gift Pack: Open to receive 3 vials of basic gene enhancement potion, 2 vials of basic mental enhancement potion, and 1 vial of intermediate zombie serum]

Intermediate Zombie Serum

[Category: Extraordinary Creations]

[Level: 2]

[Note: This medicine is significantly enhanced based on the basic zombie serum. It can not only neutralize viral infections caused by bites from ordinary zombies, but also has a significant therapeutic effect on infections from mutants and advanced zombies.]

This reward is actually quite good.

After putting it away, Lu Xingyuan looked at the transforming and reassembling device in front of him.

Strength Rune → Badge of Will

[Badge of Will]

[Category: Extraordinary Creations]

[Level: 3]

[Effect Description: Significantly enhances the wearer's mental resilience and willpower, enabling them to resist a certain degree of mental interference and pressure.]

What appeared before Lu Xingyuan was a palm-sized metal badge, dark silver in color, with fine cracks along its edges, like traces left by some force breaking free from its original form.

On its front, a half-open eye is engraved, with a faint blue light slowly flowing in the depths of its pupil.

Upon reading the effect of the Will Badge in front of him, Lu Xingyuan's eyes lit up slightly.

Thanks to the effects of the basic gene enhancement drug and the electric chair, his physical condition has now improved beyond that of a weak person.

But his spirit remained as fragile as that of an infant.

Now that he has this badge of will, he has an extra layer of solid support in his spirit, and his safety is more fully guaranteed.
