Chapter 127: Level 7 Train, Upgrade Options!
“Hmm, it must be an illusion!”
Ye Qiyan shook his head and walked to the door leading to the engine room.
Taking a deep breath, he took out the Ice Pulse Bead he had previously obtained from Shangguan Yingxue and carried it with him.
Only then did he step into the engine room space, which felt like an oven.
“Good thing I have this thing, otherwise it would really be unbearable.”
The Ice Pulse Bead continuously released cold air to offset the surrounding intense heat. Although it was still very hot, it was at least tolerable.
Even in this weather, performing Sublimation on the Train still required a sense of ritual.
Picking up the five Train Coins of the dragon card and putting them into his pocket, Ye Qiyan stood on the Platform that had once been bound to the Train System, reached out to touch it, and murmured softly.
“Sublimation.”
[Stamina: 100 → 40] [Mental Power: 150 → 30]
A full 180 points consumed.
An azure Sublimation stream of light enveloped the Train.
Accelerating continuously, its shackles were broken once again by this unconventional power.
[Train upgrade complete!]
[Current Level: 7]
[The materials required for the Train’s next upgrade are: 2,000 kg of wood, 1,000 mechanical parts, 1,550 kg of Metal, 40 kg of glass, 500 electronic components, 40 kg of gold, 40 kg of mithril, and 1 Midas Gold Stone × 1]
The next level had new special materials appearing again.
After the upgrade, the speed increased to 140 kilometers per hour, and the frame, chassis, wheels, and processing bench were upgraded simultaneously.
These were all inevitable contents after the upgrade.
What was truly important were the upgrade options.
Ye Qiyan didn’t rush to look at them. Instead, he ran back to the Temperature-controlled carriage first. Even with the Ice Pulse Bead cooling down other places, it was truly quite uncomfortable.
Washing his face to make himself more awake, Ye Qiyan opened the upgrade options on the Light Screen in front of him.
[Open upgrade options]
[Upgrade options are as follows]
[1. High-energy electric furnace (20 Train Coins)]
[2. Train Module: Storage Matrix (30 Train Coins)]
[3. Senior Train Captain Module: self-Purification (60 Train Coins)]
[4. Train Space Expansion (20 Train Coins)]
One hundred thirty was the total final price of this upgrade options batch.
“So expensive… Can other Level 7 Train Captains really gather this many?”
Ye Qiyan held his forehead speechlessly.
To say that these upgrade options after the Train upgrade didn’t check the number of Train Coins he had—even a dog wouldn’t believe it!
He had a total of 137 Train Coins. After purchasing all of them, only single digits would be left.
“I knew it, I’m going to become a pauper again.”
That being said, he was just complaining verbally.
The only flaw of expensive things was that they were expensive. If he missed these upgrade options, he probably wouldn’t have another chance to get them.
What needed to be bought still had to be bought.
Besides, as long as those two weapons he had listed on the black market were traded away, it would be another sum of Train Coins coming in.
There were four options. Ye Qiyan started looking from the first one.
[High-energy electric furnace]
[After purchase, add an internal device, the high-energy electric furnace, to the Train. By inputting basic resources, it converts them into high-energy electricity. Moreover, after placement, it can provide remote power supply to all items requiring electricity, ignoring distance.]
The item was good and could be considered a superior alternative to the generator. There were more and more places using electricity now, and placing generators in various carriages was a bit too bloated.
With this, it only needed to be placed in a single carriage.
Must buy.
Twenty Train Coins turned into light spots and disappeared, and the small mound in front of him directly shortened by a fraction.
[Train Module: Storage Matrix]
[Spend 1 Train Coin to store the Train into the Storage Matrix. It can be used once a day to store, with no restriction on releasing.]
If the introduction wasn’t wrong, this Module could be described as super useful!
Those cities he had visited before, whether Solomon City or the City of a Thousand Stars, after docking, leaving the Train inside that tunnel capsule was no different from being held hostage. If he really encountered troublesome matters and wanted to run away, he still had to find a Platform that could teleport the Train.
Moreover, Ye Qiyan didn’t believe that people in those cities had no way to lock onto the tunnel capsule.
Things like stealing while guarding might happen at any time.
Therefore, being able to keep the Train in his own hands at all times appeared incomparably important.
Must buy!
Another 30 Train Coins disappeared, and Ye Qiyan’s line of sight shifted to the third upgrade option, which was also the most expensive one among all options.
[Senior Train Captain Module: self-Purification]
[After using this Module, when Mental Power reaches 1 point, it can be forcibly restored to the maximum value, removing any mental negative effects such as self-doubt/madness/cognitive errors, and ignoring all mental attacks and influences within 30 minutes.]
[This Module can only be used once]
“…”
Is it strong?
Of course it’s very strong.
For anyone, this Module was equivalent to a life-saving talisman.
In the Chat Room, there were quite a few people whose Mental Power had already reached a very low critical point—madness, self-doubt, self-torture… These pains, even when Mental Power recovered above the critical point, those painful memories still affected them.
Therefore, for Train Captains, this Module was very important.
But what about him? His Mental Power possessed a bizarre recovery speed; no matter how low it got, it would not enter that kind of negative state.
Then was this Module really useful?
Ye Qiyan pondered for a moment and still pressed the purchase option.
Life-saving means were never too many.
What’s more, he also thought of a combination skill.
Lowering himself to the minimum through Sublimation, using the power of the book of reality and illusion to make everyone within range drop simultaneously, then using self-Purification to recover, and then lowering again.
Two consecutive reductions in Mental Power—even those senior Train Captains might not be able to withstand it.
Yet another pile of Train Coins disappeared before his eyes, leaving only the very last option.
Train Space Expansion—this literally meant the exterior remained unchanged while the internal space expanded.
Ye Qiyan still remembered Shaya’s huge church carriage.
He was also looking forward to one day possessing such a huge and gorgeous carriage himself.
Therefore, buy!
The Train Coins that were originally like a small mound were reduced to the last seven. Putting them away properly, Ye Qiyan rubbed his brow. It was getting late, Stamina was low, and there were less than three hours left until arriving at the next station.
At the next station under the yang yan wind weather, who knows what might happen.
He calculated the items he still needed to try Sublimating currently.
One high-energy electric furnace, and one [Blueprint: Extermination Drone].
These two weren’t that urgent.
Waiting until the next station was almost over, after recovering Stamina and Mental Power, it wouldn’t be too late to get them done.
He intended to rest for a while.
Right at this moment, on the friend interface, a message notification reached his ears.
Zhu Xingtu (Charlatan) [ “Destiny tells me~ I have a Devil Card Platform coordinate here~ Brother Ye, you should need this~” ]
