Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Third Stop · Doomsday Town

After spending seven biscuits and a fair bit of talking, he finally collected enough mechanical parts from the others.

“It really is troublesome.”

Looking at the resources on hand, Ye Qiyan shook his head.

It was no wonder Shangguan Yingxue hated trading; he also disliked wrangling with people, constantly changing prices back and forth for just a tiny bit of food was truly a waste of time.

Depositing the resources into the processing bench, the blueprint of the acceleration device glowed with a deep blue light.

Soon, the machine and Metal fused together, and a complex mechanical device appeared before Ye Qiyan.

[Train Burst Acceleration Device]

[Note: Can only be installed on the main body of the Train, place it next to the control system for automatic installation, and Acceleration Bullets can be manufactured after installation]

[Acceleration Bullet]: Can be used up to three times a day

[Production requirements: 1 kg of Metal, 20 mechanical parts, 1 Train Coin]

“Making bullets actually requires Train Coins?”

Ye Qiyan felt somewhat helpless.

“I wonder what it will turn into after Sublimation.”

[Stamina: 55] [Mental Power: 70]

His Stamina and Mental Power recovered a bit after eating the White Forest Fruit, which was just enough to perform one Sublimation.

“Let us try it out.”

After consuming 30 points of Stamina and 40 points of Mental Power, the acceleration device changed.

[Red Triple-Speed Train Acceleration Device]

[Standardized Acceleration Bullet]: Can be used up to five times a day, increasing the Train’s speed to three times its original speed within ten minutes.

The number of uses became five, but the speed did not change.

However, its potential seemed to have been exhausted, meaning there was no way to continue Sublimation.

Following the prompt, Ye Qiyan placed the acceleration device in front of the control system.

A silvery-white aperture enveloped the device, and immediately afterwards, a black hole rose from the console.

That was the location for feeding bullets.

“It’s a bit pricey.”

Ye Qiyan spent two Train Coins to manufacture two Acceleration Bullets.

Looking at the silvery-white bullets as thick as an infant’s arm in his hand, his heart ached a bit.

Putting away the last two currencies, although he really wanted to test the power of this bullet after acceleration, he decided against it after thinking about it.

He wasn’t extravagant to that extent yet.

Having settled everything, next was rest.

“Speaking of which, are the side effects of low Mental Power just empty talk? Why have I never felt them?”

[Stamina: 100] [Mental Power: 100]

“It’s finally completely refilled.”

Resting for the whole night, Ye Qiyan yawned and got up from the warm Temperature-controlled carriage.

Washing his face and humming a little tune, he walked to the end of the carriage.

Digging a seed out from the grayish-white soil, he looked at its unchanged appearance and nodded.

[Stamina: 70]

[Blessed White Forest Fruit Tree Seed]

[Breaks ground in three days, grows in three days, matures in three days. After maturing, it can bear one Blessed White Forest Fruit every day]

“This actually works, and even the fruit was subjected to Sublimation along with it?”

Ye Qiyan sensed it; the seed’s potential was not enough to support the next Sublimation, but he could try again once they grew up.

Digging a hole, burying the soil, watering.

Just as Ye Qiyan was planning to return to the front of the Train to enjoy breakfast, he stopped in his tracks when passing by the garbage recycling device.

“Speaking of which, I seem to remember saying I would give you a Sublimation.”

Looking at the unactivated little robot that completely looked like a large matchbox, Ye Qiyan leaned over and knocked on its iron head a few times.

Sublimation.

Just like usual, Ye Qiyan originally intended to use Stamina to perform Sublimation, but for some reason, the consumed Stamina felt like a clay ox entering the sea, with no news at all.

Sublimation failed?

Ye Qiyan frowned; this kind of thing had happened for the first time.

Trying again, this time he did not consume Stamina, but instead used Mental Power.

[Mental Power: 60]

Familiar halos began to emerge, and the power of Sublimation completely enveloped the little robot.

[GT-1: Automatic Treasure-Hunting Robot]

[After arriving at the Platform, it will automatically leave the Train to lock onto Treasure Chests within the Platform. Treasure Chests that cannot be obtained will be drawn into a map and handed over to the master to acquire by themselves]

[Can be repaired by consuming mechanical parts after being damaged]

[Consumes one Train Coin per use]

[Will be forcibly returned to the collection station before the end of each stop]

A pair of camera-like eyes rose from the matchbox, rotated three hundred and sixty degrees, and finally locked its line of sight on Ye Qiyan’s face.

[Master information confirmed, Train Captain ID E-3-1102, Ye Qiyan]

[Please name the GT-1 type, if not named it will be automatically named: GT1]

Looking at its appearance, Ye Qiyan inexplicably thought of an image from a movie he saw in his previous world.

“Wall-E?”

[Naming complete]

[Entering deep sleep, please consume Train Coins to awaken after arriving at the Platform.]

…

Train Coins again.

Acceleration Bullets require Train Coins, and the post-Sublimation little robot requires them too.

Next time upgrading the Train, it will also consume Train Coins to purchase upgrade options, and maybe even some post-Sublimation items will need to consume Train Coins.

Ye Qiyan always felt that his expenses were going to exceed his income.

“Right, at this time, many people probably still don’t know the effect of Train Coins.”

He suddenly thought of something, jogged back to the front of the Train, opened the control system and searched for keywords in the Chat Room.

[Train Coins.]

[“Have you guys opened any Treasure Chests? What are the Train Coins inside for?”]

[“Who knows, maybe the currency of this world can buy things in some Platforms.”]

[“You guys are so lucky to have opened Treasure Chests, I don’t even know what a Treasure Chest looks like.”]

[“What’s the use of opening them, there isn’t even anything to eat, consecutive two stops have been garbage Platforms, if this goes on we’ll be eating dirt!”]

As expected, they completely did not know the value of Train Coins, and they were still worried about survival.

[“One piece of compressed biscuit plus one bottle of drinking water, exchange for one Train Coin.”]

He hung the food and water on the Trading Platform.

After looking for a while, he ignored it.

For this kind of priced transaction, it would be best if someone came to buy, and if no one bought, he wouldn’t lose out.

Train time, twelve-thirty noon.

In front of Ye Qiyan, the next stop selection prompt for the Crossroads of Fate appeared on time.

[Crossroads of Fate triggered, please make a docking choice between the following two Platforms]

[Platform 1: Doomsday Town (Level 2 Mission Platform)]

[Platform 2: Goblin Village (Level 2 Hunting Platform)]

Mission Platform?

This was yet another new Platform type.

Compared to going to fight with Goblins, which had a high probability of being thankless work, Ye Qiyan felt that Option 1 was more suitable for him.

[Platform selection completed]

[Please sit tight and hold on steady, the third stop arriving ahead of the Train is…]

[Doomsday Town]

The Train is accelerating.

The space ahead gradually became a void.

When the countdown turned to 0, the surrounding world completely changed its appearance.

[Current Platform: Doomsday Town]

[Docking countdown: 3:59:59]

[Good luck]

[Current stop: Danger]
