That's amazing survival skills!

The ground began to tremble slowly, the central disc rattled and swayed, shrinking towards the edges, and the massive furnace platform slowly rose.

There were tubes inserted all around, and just standing there you could feel the heat wave hitting you, and you were constantly sweating.

The upper right corner of the glass displays a 64% inventory of [Liangfen].

[Inferno Furnace: Capable of producing high-strength metals.]

[Detection indicates that only beam powder remains in the furnace; only beam crystals can be produced.]

Two hundred units of iron can be made into one unit of crystal. Should we proceed with the production?

"Yes." Lin Yuan directly stuffed in two thousand units of iron.

This is all they have left. After it's all used up, they only have three units of iron left. They couldn't help but grimac, thinking how quickly this stuff could be spent.

[There is one hour left in the smelting process. Please wait patiently.]

A countdown was displayed on the glass screen.

Everyone quickly withdrew; there was no way to stay inside for long.

"Am I hallucinating?" Li Wen clutched her shirt, "Why does the air feel so hot?"

"I felt it too."

"Me too."

"Give us some time to smelt it," Li Wen said.

Although he didn't quite understand why Lin Yuan would spend so much money to smelt this thing, he knew it must have a very important purpose. Otherwise, how much time and how many things could be made from two thousand units of iron?

Moreover, this metal is a rare commodity.

"no problem."

Li Wen didn't choose to speak. The iron in their team was simply not enough for two thousand units. They were unwilling to use two hundred units of iron to smelt into one unit of Liang Jing's iron. No matter how you looked at it, it was not worthwhile.

"Then let's go back to our old ways," Lin Yuan said with a smile, taking out his spear.

The three women naturally understood what he meant by "his old profession," and nodded silently.

"Old profession? What old profession?" Li Wen was completely bewildered, having no idea what the other party meant.

Lin Yuan didn't reply to him, but he was soon dumbfounded.

Then they saw Lin Yuan and his three companions holding long spears, directly prying open the rusty steel pipes and dismantling the machines in other factory buildings.

"Brothers, what you guys are doing..."

Li Wen's subsequent words were quite polite, even though they had never done such a thing.

"It's a waste to leave these things here." Lin Yuan put the iron on the ground into his backpack. "It's just making reasonable use of resources."

Li Wen's eyes lit up; she had never imagined it could be done this way.

He called his companions away and began to disassemble the steel pipes and other things, just like Lin Yuan had done.

An hour passed.

Lin Yuan arrived at the Blazing Furnace and found ten units of Liang Jing, Lan Yingying's "bricks," lying quietly on the ground. Upon handling them, he discovered that they were quite heavy, and even with his current strength of 100 points, he found it somewhat difficult to lift them.

"Brother Lin, let's smelt some too."

"OK."

Lin Yuan led Liang Jing away, and when he saw the four abandoned Liang Jing puppets lying at the entrance, his eyes darted around.

"You bastard, you're up to no good again!"

"Nonsense!" Lin Yuan retorted, patting her chest. "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

After saying that, he dragged the Yiju Liangjing puppet towards the direction of the Blazing Furnace.

This Liang Jing puppet looks sturdy, but it wasn't as heavy as I expected when dragging it. It seems that not much Liang Jing was added to it, but some should have dissolved out.

When Li Wen saw Lin Yuan dragging the metal puppet over, he immediately understood what the other party was thinking. However, since the other party was treating it as a trophy, he didn't think of asking for it back.

As for the one he killed, he simply gave it to the other party.

Time passed by, second by second.

[Gu Siyu: There are only ten minutes left, hurry back.]

Lin Yuan glanced at the two-minute countdown on the Fiery Furnace and said, "Give me five minutes, it'll be quick."

Gu Siyu:...

[Gu Siyu: Hurry up, the car won't wait for you.]

The moment Liang Jing appeared, Lin Yuan put away his belongings and sped off, finally catching up with the car in less than five minutes.

Chi!

The car door closed.

Lin Yuan glanced at the dashboard and saw that there were still two minutes left. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"If you're any later, you won't need to come back at all," Gu Siyu rolled her eyes.

"Are you worried about me?" Lin Yuan leaned closer, staring into Gu Siyu's eyes, and asked with a grin.

"Get lost!" Gu Siyu said angrily. "We've poured all our resources into you. If you die at the hands of a monster, we can accept it, but if you miss the train and die, wouldn't we be at a huge loss?"

"Just say you're worried, why be so coy?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.

What he received in return was a series of eye rolls from Gu Siyu.

Lin Yuan stood in front of the carriage, looking at the transaction he had made hanging on the rotten soil before getting off the train. Still no one was taking it, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's really difficult."

Ding dong.

"Who?"

Lin Yuan opened the panel and found that it was a message sent by Li Yungou.

[Li Yungou: I see you collecting rotten soil. How much do you want?]

Just when I was really sleepy, someone brought me a pillow.

How much do you have?

Li Yungou glanced at his backpack, quickly edited the message, and sent it.

[Li Yungou: There are about two thousand units. I only collected a little bit; I didn't pack any more.]

Two thousand units?!

Lin Yuan gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine, but then, remembering his five times critical strike talent, he quickly felt relieved.

Lin Yuan has initiated a transaction request with you. Do you agree?

"yes!"

Li Yungou directly traded all two thousand units of rotten soil onto the ground and soon found that there were ten more units of Liang Jing on the ground. He bent down to pick them up, but they didn't budge.

This is a hidden condition for upgrading a Tier 4 train.

Holy crap!

Hearing the sound, Li Zhang and his wife, as well as Li Yunhou, all turned their heads to look and saw their son gesturing wildly. They then glanced at the blue "brick" on the ground.

"Was it sent by Lin Yuan?" Li Zhanghe asked casually.

"Um."

"Then keep it." Li Zhanghe had just taken out a cigarette when Zhang Yan stopped him. Facing her fierce eyes, Li Zhanghe reluctantly stuffed the cigarette back in. "Give Lin Yuan a return gift. This thing looks quite valuable."

"it is good."

With the compost in hand, Lin Yuan immediately began making soil.

[Soil x3]

"Where should I put this?"

Lin Yuan clicked and found that although the space occupied by this thing was not large, it was indeed not easy to place.

The back space has two L-shaped beds side by side, and not far away is a toilet enclosed by wooden boards. The middle aisle is not very big, but the plastic stools and chairs on both sides take up some space, making it impossible to put soil there.

The front of the vehicle has a water condenser and a center console; once a unit of soil is placed on it, there is no place to put your feet.

"Sigh, it's tough."

"Should we put it down?" Wang Xi glanced at Lin Yuan and immediately understood her dilemma.

Lin Yuan nodded, seemingly unsure whether to agree or disagree.

"There's no rush now. We can just wait for the subway to be upgraded again, right?"

"Easier said than done." Lin Yuan rolled her eyes. "A level 4 subway requires 500 units of wood and 1000 units of iron. We have enough wood, but iron..."

Inside the steel plant, while the smelting process was underway, they dismantled steel pipes and old machinery, obtaining 700 units of iron, still 300 units short.

Who knows what kind of place the next stop will be, or even if there will be any rail service?

"You still have your good buddies, right?" Wang Xi glanced at Lin Yuan. "You didn't just send Liang Jing away and get a few units of rotten soil in return, did you?"

"Should I just ask for it directly?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Wang Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes, tapping her finger in front of her eyes to bring up the panel, "If you're too shy to speak, I'll do it."

To prevent such a situation from happening before, Wang Xi had added Li Yungou's ID while in the safe zone, and now it came in handy!

Ding dong.

[Li Yungou: What are you still missing? I think this thing is far too precious; those free rotten soils are far from enough.]

Just as Lin Yuan was about to move her fingers, Wang Xi stepped forward and smiled, "Bring up the panel, I'll handle it."

Just as Lin Yuan was about to say that this wasn't a good idea, Wang Xi stared straight at him with her big eyes, her fingers circling back and forth on his chest. "You can be embarrassed, but this concerns the interests of our entire carriage."

"You wouldn't be that stupid..."
