Chapter 23: Rewards in the Level 4 Treasure Chest
[Open Level 4 Treasure Chest]
[Obtained Train Coins: 8]
[Obtained: Monitor Blueprint (Level 4)]
[Obtained: Safety Bracelet (Level 4)]
[Obtained: Clockwork Monkey Doll Bomb Blueprint (Level 4)]
[Obtained: blasphemy card (Damaged)]
Three items were marked as Level 4, among which there were also two blueprints.
Without a doubt, opening the chest this time was even more fortunate than the last.
Ye Qiyan couldn’t wait to extract everything and check them out.
[Monitor Blueprint]
[Required: 100 kg metal, 80 kg wood, 150 mechanical parts, 30 electronic components]
[Assemble into any carriage to Monitor any part of the Train, and an alarm will sound when foreign objects invade]
It was a very nice Train architecture, except that he didn’t have those electronic components for the time being, and he needed to go to the Trading Platform to look for them.
[Safety Bracelet]
[Can block one fatal injury, shatters after blocking]
The extremely brief introduction was quite practical.
Saving one’s life was undoubtedly the most important thing in this world.
Ye Qiyan wore the bracelet on his right wrist, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief.
[Clockwork Monkey Doll Bomb Blueprint]
[Crafting Requirements: 3 kg metal, 40 mechanical parts, 400 grams gunpowder, 1 kg fiber]
[Wind it up fully, and the monkey doll will go to the designated location to self-detonate]
“Four hundred grams of gunpowder? I remember a hundred bullets only consumed a total of five hundred grams, but where on earth can I get some gunpowder…”
Ye Qiyan shook his head. Having blueprints without materials was truly agonizing.
“I can only acquire some by purchase.”
Having made his decision, his gaze turned to the last reward, something that had never been unboxed before.
A one-third black-gold card.
[blasphemy card (Damaged)]
[Collect three (Damaged) cards to synthesize a blasphemy card]
[blasphemy card: ???]
“So mysterious? Three-in-one, which means… a minimum of three Level 4 treasure chests? No, even a Level 4 treasure chest might not necessarily drop it.”
Ye Qiyan played with the card of special material for a while.
Although he didn’t know what would happen after synthesis, it shouldn’t be anything simple.
[Trading Platform]
Acquisitions on the platform were not going smoothly.
It wasn’t that no one was selling, but the quantity was too small, the prices were uneven, and the premium was too high.
Even though he was still considered wealthy now, he didn’t want to play the fool.
Moreover, in the current situation, truly capable people had long passed the initial difficult period. For things like gunpowder, they wouldn’t take them out to sell casually.
If he wanted to acquire them, he still had to post a message directly in the Chat Room.
[Acquiring gunpowder. Every 200g can be traded for a piece of compressed biscuit and a bottle of drinking water or a fresh tomato. Interested parties please go to the Trading Platform to search by yourselves, or privately chat with your own offered price]
After sending the message, Ye Qiyan even spent a Train Coin to pin this message to the top so that everyone still alive could see it.
At the same time, he also posted a trading request for electronic components, with the price set at exchanging ten components for a bottle of mineral water plus a piece of compressed biscuit.
Although after experiencing a thunderstorm platform, anyone slightly smarter shouldn’t be too short of water sources nowadays.
Regardless of whether it was clean or not, drinking it after heating would at least prevent dying of thirst.
What’s more, there was Shangguan Yingxue, the big water seller. Ye Qiyan often saw her water listed on the Trading Platform, though he didn’t know if it was leftover after bathing.
Therefore, Ye Qiyan threw in another piece of compressed biscuit.
Although he looked down on these biscuits, that was him, not others.
A bottle of water and a piece of military compressed biscuit were enough to last a whole day without eating.
Furthermore, the sweetness of the biscuits could bring a little comfort at such times facing life-and-death situations.
As for tomatoes.
In the kitchen of the fourth station castle, the most abundant fruits and vegetables were tomatoes; he had moved back three large boxes of them.
In ancient times, people sailing on the sea would get scurvy due to a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. Looking at them now, although they were surviving on a Train, how much difference was there really compared to being on a ship?
[“Holy crap, what news is this? Why is it pinned to the top all of a sudden? Awesome.”]
[“Pinning a message costs a Train Coin, my god, what a big shot. I only have one Train Coin left and I’m saving it to buy resources later to upgrade the Train speed. To think someone is willing to take it out for this kind of thing, isn’t that too wasteful!?”]
[“What does it have to do with you what the big shot wants to do? Look at the name, Ye Qiyan. This is the badass who pulled out a rifle to sell right after the first station ended. Maybe he doesn’t lack Train Coins at all.”]
[“Is that what you guys are focusing on?! Didn’t you see it? He actually took out tomatoes! Holy shit, how many days has it been since I last ate normal fruit? My mouth is practically tasteless. 200 grams of gunpowder… Heh, I actually found a little bit from a corpse’s backpack before, and I was wondering whether I could make a bomb or something. I can actually buy a little.”]
[“Can I buy tomatoes with other things?”]
[“Tomatoes are vegetables, not fruits!”]
[“Gunpowder? @Ye Qiyan, what is gunpowder used for? Making guns? Big shot, if you have any more guns, can you sell me one?! I’ll buy it with Train Coins!”]
[“Me too, me too, big shot, please give me a gun!”]
As he expected, there were capable people among the survivors.
In a short period of time, Ye Qiyan completed the ten transactions he set.
Looking at the extra two kilograms of gunpowder in front of him, he took out a portion and matched it with metal to craft his first batch of bullets.
[Bullet × 100] (Level 3)
100 bullets appeared out of thin air at the material consumption location.
Ye Qiyan weighed them in his hand for a few times; they were a bit heavier compared to the low-level bullets he obtained at the very beginning.
Loading and cocking, Ye Qiyan fired a shot at the pile of metal stacked together.
The Black Light Pistol originally could only pierce through targets when using low-level bullets.
But after switching to these Level 3 bullets, it directly blasted the metal pile into pieces.
[“Hiss, how many times has the power multiplied? It’s so fierce.”]
Ye Qiyan was very satisfied with his masterpiece.
After turning all the remaining gunpowder into bullets, he stored the freshly baked 999 rounds of Level 3 ammunition into a special storage unit, allowing him to take them out at any time even outside the Train.
The chat interface flickered slightly.
A friend sent him a private chat message.
Who could it be?
Ye Qiyan looked over and found that there was more than one person sending him messages.
In the private chat interface, all three of his friends popped up.
Li Xiaosheng: [“Friend, do you still remember what I said? I have gunpowder in my hand, and you can manufacture weapons. If you and I join forces, we will definitely become the king of all Train Captains!”]
Eighth-grader syndrome, ignored.
Zhao Lin: [“Brother Ye, can you sell me a gun? I can use Train Coins for the transaction.”]
A smart trading partner, worth trading with.
Shangguan Yingxue: [“What level has your Train upgraded to?”]
Hmm?
Seeing the last message, Ye Qiyan was slightly stunned.
What does this woman mean?
If she was asking whether Ye Qiyan had upgraded to Level 2, there was no need for that at all.
Because after this fourth station, besides Li Xiaosheng, other people had also upgraded to Level 2. Even if Ye Qiyan didn’t say it, in the eyes of others, he should also be one of them.
Ye Qiyan didn’t care about the possibility of his Train level being exposed.
Whether it was exposed or not didn’t matter; he wasn’t afraid of these things.
[“Just upgraded.”]
