Chapter 16
Chapter 16 [Storage Unit Carriage]
Unlike the lively scene in the Chat Room.
Ye Qiyan’s focus right now wasn’t on that.
[Third Station Doomsday Town Ended: Killed 11 variant humanoid zombies, Zombie Dog: 28, zombie cat…]
[Kill Score: A-Grade]
[Congratulations on completing the hidden mission: Town Deliverer]
[Obtained mission reward: one Carriage Exchange Voucher]
“So, is this the mission of the Mission Platform?”
Looking at the text on the Light Screen before him, and then at the filthy Wall-E.
“Thanks to you, otherwise I would have missed all this.”
He patted Wall-E’s iron head.
“A carriage?”
Holding the translucent reward coupon in his hand, it featured the pattern of a carriage on it.
Having enjoyed the Temperature-controlled carriage for a few days, Ye Qiyan was quite looking forward to the new carriage.
“Sublimation.”
[Carriage Exchange Voucher → Special Carriage Exchange Reward Coupon]
[Can exchange for a Level 2 special carriage.]
“Use.”
The reward coupon burned in mid-air.
[Obtained Level 2 carriage: Low-level Storage Carriage]
[Storage Carriage: Possesses 48 storage units, any unit can store a single type of item with no upper limit, unable to store living creatures]
This was truly a good thing. Think back to when he first started collecting resources; wood and Metal piled up everywhere, and there wasn’t even space for him to sleep in the engine room.
With this carriage, he could completely and substantially free up the Train’s space.
“It can still undergo Sublimation once more.”
He couldn’t wait to use his Talent again.
He came to the end of the second section.
Through the window, he saw a carriage drop precisely from mid-air onto the tracks to couple with his Train.
The carriage door at the connection point opened.
Walking inside, forty-eight storage-cabinet-like cells were evenly placed on both sides of the carriage.
“Sublimation.”
[Stamina: 55 → 30] [Mental Power: 80 → 55]
Upgrading a Level 1 ordinary carriage to a Level 2 special carriage consumed 20 points of Stamina, whereas upgrading a Level 2 special carriage to Level 3 consumed a total of fifty points.
It more than doubled.
Ye Qiyan’s body fell into a state of exhaustion once again, but his eyes gleamed with unusual brilliance.
[Storage Unit Carriage] (Level 3)
[Possesses 51 storage units, storage in any unit has no upper limit, items placed inside will not Decay or get damaged… living creatures cannot be stored, and 3 units within the storage carriage can be accessed freely by the Train Captain at any location]
The Sublimated storage carriage looked like it merely had 3 extra units and the attribute of not being subject to Decay.
But these three units were by no means a simple increase!
Accessed freely following the Train Captain? Isn’t this just a portable dimension space?
Unable to wait, he placed a few White Forest Fruits into one of those three units.
Ye Qiyan returned to the engine room, and with a thought of his mind, he fumbled slightly in the air, and a plump, fresh White Forest Fruit materialized right in his hand!
Clearly, this Sublimation was a massive profit!
Eating the White Forest Fruit to restore his Stamina, Ye Qiyan tossed all the resources in the carriage into the ordinary units.
The Train’s space instantly became much cleaner and more spacious.
As for those three special units, one of them naturally stored the White Forest Fruit, while in the other two, Ye Qiyan only put some bullets and drinking water.
That way, when leaving the Train to explore a Platform, his load would be much lighter.
“Right, there is also the Treasure Chest.”
Taking out the Level 2 Treasure Chest that Wall-E brought back for him, Ye Qiyan calculated slightly.
Upgrading a Level 3 Treasure Chest to Level 4 required 55 points, and 1 to 2 was 37 points, so upgrading 2 to 3 would be at most forty-some points.
Persevering a little bit more would be enough.
“Sublimation.”
[Stamina: 30 → 20] [Mental Power: 55 → 20]
[Warning! Entering a state of exhaustion]
[Warning! Entering a state of sanity dissolution!!]
He guessed right; the forty-five points of Mental Power were completely consumed.
Panting heavily, Ye Qiyan forced his heavy eyelids open with his last bit of strength to look at the Treasure Chest before him.
The identification of the candy box before him had already changed once more.
[Level 3 Treasure Chest] (Can be opened)
[Open Level 3 Treasure Chest]
[Obtained Train Coins: 6]
[Obtained: Zombie Killer (Level 3)]
[3 tubes of Virus Serum]
[Windproof lighter]
The three rewards couldn’t be said to be good or bad.
The Zombie Killer was a chainsaw sword modified from a chainsaw, possessing a 3x damage bonus against zombie-type monsters.
As for the remaining two, their functions were just as their names suggested.
The serum might come in handy.
As for a windproof lighter obtained from a Level 3 Treasure Chest, in a sense, it was also quite precious.
But this wasn’t important either.
Obtaining another six Train Coins from the Level 3 Treasure Chest, counting the previous ones, that made a full ten Train Coins!
At this time, it was impossible for anyone to have more than him.
He would snap up all the upgrade options that appeared during the next Train upgrade.
And before Sublimation, he had an important thing to do.
That was.
Sleeping.
He was tired.
10 points of Stamina.
This was the first time he had pushed himself this hard.
He genuinely felt the discomfort called exhaustion.
As for the sanity dissolution mentioned by the warning, he didn’t feel a thing.
——
During the time Ye Qiyan was resting, the Chat Room remained extraordinarily lively.
Countless people bought materials for upgrading the Train from one another.
But how many people were truly qualified to buy them?
If only upgrading could guarantee survival.
Then of these remaining thousands of people, surviving one-tenth of them would be considered lucky.
Therefore, someone soon discovered that the speed required by the Train broadcast was only 30 kilometers per hour, whereas the speed after upgrading was a full 40 kilometers.
Then, did that mean the Train could separately upgrade the parts related to speed, which were the wheels?
Someone gave it a try.
Using one-fifth of the Metal and one-third of the mechanical parts for upgrading the Train, they actually successfully upgraded the wheels individually, bringing the speed up to the mandated 30 kilometers per hour.
As soon as this news appeared, Metal and mechanical parts immediately became the most sought-after resources.
Almost everyone wanted to buy these two materials.
Even though doing so would cause the overall upgrade of the Train to consume more materials.
But to stay alive, how could they care about so much?
Meanwhile, Li Xiaosheng, who had just mentioned forming an Alliance to collect Train Coins earlier, had a rather ugly expression at the moment.
Just who was that person who upgraded their Train a step ahead of him?
“How could anyone accumulate materials faster than me? Clearly I am the Chosen One!”
On his personal interface, there was a line of Talent.
[Resource Radar]: Before arriving at the next Platform, one must choose a basic Train resource, and that type of collectible resource will have a high probability of appearing in the next Platform.
Metal, mechanical parts, wood.
Li Xiaosheng spent three stations’ time to collect all the resources needed for the upgrade.
He couldn’t understand just who could be faster than him.
