Chapter 36
Chapter 36: Continuing to Bluff
This is really a good thing. Without a Low-Level Water Tank, if the temperature is too high, water is very prone to spoiling and rotting. But if the temperature is kept at freezing point, the time it takes to spoil can also be greatly reduced.
Besides, if encountering high-temperature weather, this thing will be even more useful.
After all, no one can refuse a cup of iced beer under the heat.
“Almost forgot about this.”
Thinking of something, Ye Qiyan returned to the carriage and found his target where the blueprints were stored.
[Low-Level Water Tank Blueprint]
This was a blueprint obtained from the upgrade options after the first Train upgrade.
Although he had only built it once, the function of the Low-Level Water Tank was undoubtedly quite practical in this world.
And Shangguan Yingxue, a woman inexplicably destined for water, should like this very much.
[“Do you want to buy this?”]
An introduction of the Low-Level Water Tank was sent over.
[“How many Train Coins?”]
She was tempted.
[“Two.”]
[“… I don’t have that many. Can I buy it on credit? Besides, this is just a Low-Level Water Tank, why is it so expensive?”]
[“You can use other things to exchange for it. On credit, what do you think?”]
Shangguan Yingxue also understood that this was impossible, hesitated for a moment, and made a decision.
[“Ice-Condensing Bead, is that okay?”]
“Agreed just like that? She didn’t even bargain.”
Ye Qiyan patted the Low-Level Water Tank.
To put it bluntly, this thing was just an iron lump with special abilities. When he bought its blueprint back then, it only cost one Train Coin. He didn’t expect that selling it could actually be worth 3 Train Coins.
Truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
[“You don’t agree?”]
[“We can trade, wait a moment.”]
She was willing, and Ye Qiyan wouldn’t refuse.
Holding the blueprint, he took out the materials and crafted it on the Processing Table.
A brand-new Low-Level Water Tank appeared, and over on Shangguan Yingxue’s side, a trade request had long been sent.
[Accept]
The trade was completed.
Ye Qiyan picked up the Ice-Condensing Bead.
“This thing is not bad. I’ll buy a few bottles of beer and drinks from Zhao Lin later. In case she hangs up at the next station, I won’t be able to buy them.”
Moreover, there was Sublimation.
[Mental Power: 104 → 84]
[Ice Pulse Bead] (Level 3)
[Can condense water into ice, and can manipulate its shape.]
“Yo-ho, could it be? Ahem, appear! Ice Pulse Sword!”
Ye Qiyan gave a light cough, struck a pose he thought was very handsome, and aimed the Ice Pulse Bead at the Low-Level Water Tank.
The fresh water in the Low-Level Water Tank was slowly condensed into a long sword made of ice.
He reached out to grab it.
Then, it shattered at the slightest touch.
“This is too trashy. I thought it would turn out like casting magic.”
Disappointed, but not too bad either.
Anyway, the item was practically obtained for free, so he didn’t lose out.
He looked at the chat interface, and then at the Huaxiao Enchanted Wooden Bow at his hand.
“Shangguan Yingxue shouldn’t have anything else to trade with me, but…”
Hesitating for a moment, he still sent a screenshot over, along with a sentence.
[“Do you want this thing? Selling it to you for 4 Train Coins, or, other things.”]
Shangguan Yingxue, who was preparing to take a bath, was stunned when she saw this message.
[“… I have no money left, and besides, it’s too expensive.”]
[“It’s not expensive at all, okay? This is a Level 3 weapon, which can completely crush the monsters we can encounter now. As for Train Coins, like I said, you can use things of equal value to exchange for it.”]
[“Why didn’t you say so just now…”]
There was a hint of grievance in Shangguan Yingxue’s words.
If Ye Qiyan had taken this bow out at the very beginning, why would she still buy bullets?
[“I just remembered, and besides, didn’t you say you wanted to buy bullets.”]
Ye Qiyan continued to bluff without changing his expression.
[“If we can’t trade, then forget it. This bow can only be sold to someone else.”]
He was still testing the waters. Compared to Zhao Lin, this woman Shangguan Yingxue seemed to be luckier. After all, besides himself, she was the first among everyone to complete the Train upgrade, and she might still have some other things in her hands.
[“Right, I remember you said just now that you opened a treasure chest at the last station? What else was there besides the Ice Pulse Bead? Rest assured, I am not implying that you should use those things to trade.”]
[“…”]
Shangguan Yingxue’s calm heart inexplicably surged with an urge to close the chat interface and directly delete him from her friends list.
Not implying? Then what was this remark? Did he really pin down that she definitely wanted to buy it?
Merely a Level 3 weapon, she, Shangguan Yingxue, wasn’t…
A screenshot was sent in front of Ye Qiyan.
[Sunny Doll] (Level 2)
[Consumes two points of Mental Power, will predict the weather of the second day at twelve noon every day]
[“Only this, plus 100 kilograms of fresh water and one Train Coin. If you are not willing to sell it, then forget it.”]
This time she really took out everything she could take out.
It wasn’t that Shangguan Yingxue insisted on buying it, but this Level 3 weapon was too attractive to her, who only had a Level 2 Train.
“If he doesn’t agree this time, I will definitely not increase the price again.”
Thinking silently in his heart, Ye Qiyan had already replied to the message.
[“Hmm… Fine, considering that we’ve traded so many times, I’ll take it as doing you a favor. Let’s make the trade.”]
That being said, at this moment his face was already piled with smiles.
He made a huge profit!
The blueprint exchanged for a mere 30 kilograms of supplies was finally sold for the value of a full 3 Train Coins. He was truly a business genius.
The trade was completed, all the fresh water was put into the Low-Level Water Tank, and a white Sunny Doll also appeared in his hand.
“Quite cute.”
“Sublimation.”
[Mental Power: 84 → 69]
[Relaxed Sunny Doll] (Level 3)
[Consumes one point of Mental Power, can predict the weather of the current day and the second day at any time]
It changed from only being able to use at twelve noon to being able to use at any time, and the Mental Power consumption was also reduced to one point, not bad.
There was no change in appearance. Ye Qiyan hung it in the Temperature-controlled carriage where he usually rested.
This trade brought him a lot of things, although it hadn’t reached the point of a qualitative change.
But he now possessed a full thirty Train Coins.
He could consider carrying out the next Sublimation on the Train next.
“Better wait until after leaving the station. After all, it’s not very safe here.”
Having made up his mind, Ye Qiyan walked out of the carriage.
“Hmm? What’s that smell.”
Sniffing with his nose, his expression changed abruptly.
“Oh no! My meat!”
That piece of snake meat that had been roasted for a long time was now pitch-black, obviously inedible.
“Sigh, I can only roast it again.”
“Speaking of which, after such a long time, Wall-E hasn’t returned yet. Could it be that he died outside?”
