Chapter 40
Chapter 40 Public Trading Platform
After resting for a while, Ye Qiyan sat up from the bed.
His upgrade rewards did not stop there.
“Titles, this is the first time I have heard of such a thing.”
[Title: Upgrade Expert]
[Description: Awarded to the first Train Captain in each block to upgrade their Train to Level 4, in recognition of your outstanding performance in this Train survival]
[After equipping, it is easier to gain the trust of the indigenous people within the platform.]
“Trust, huh? It might be useful, right?”
Equipping this title directly did not cause any changes; he would have to wait until arriving at the next platform and encountering living people to see the effect.
Finally, there was the reward for breaking the Level 4 record.
[Train Captain Enhancement Card]
[Conducts a one-time enhancement to the Mental Power / Stamina of the Train Captain, with an enhancement amount of 10 points]
Seeing the description of this enhancement card, Ye Qiyan immediately showed a pleased expression.
“As I guessed, there really is a way to boost Stamina and Mental Power. I did not expect to run into it so soon.”
For someone like him who consumed a large amount of Stamina and Mental Power, the effect of this enhancement card could not be more suitable.
And there was another point that made him even more excited.
The enhancement card had a physical form. Unlike some Modules that were used directly without a Sublimation carrier, it could undergo one Sublimation.
“Sublimation”
[Mental Power: 75 → 40]
[Train Captain Enhancement Card → Advanced Train Captain Enhancement Card]
[Conducts a one-time enhancement to the Mental Power / Stamina of the Train, with an enhancement amount of 20 points]
10 points became 20 points. Although it did not look like much, this enhanced the upper limit.
The card was pinched between two fingers, held close to his heart.
“Enhance Stamina.”
The enhancement card turned into specks of red light particles that merged into his body.
An indescribable sense of comfort filled his entire body.
This feeling lasted for a few minutes.
[Enhancement Successful]
[Stamina Upper Limit: 100 → 120]
“It seems it is not just an increase in Stamina?”
Ye Qiyan clenched his fists, picked up a piece of wood, and with a slight exertion, the piece of wood was snapped bare-handed by him.
If this were placed in modern society, he could simply be called a little superman.
“I see. No wonder the attributes only consist of Mental Power and Stamina. Did it cover things like strength and speed all together? Hmm… What other attributes does Mental Power cover?”
Without thinking too much about it, he would know such things sooner or later.
Now was rest time.
Before arriving at the next station, he needed to restore himself to his best condition.
[13:00:00]
At the time he should have entered the platform, the familiar spatial distortion did not appear ahead of the Train.
Ye Qiyan leaned against the window, flicking his fingers in mid-air to bring up the public chat window.
[1735/10000]
“More than two hundred people died again last night.”
This number had already dropped below two thousand. According to the broadcast, after the seventh station, it would merge with other blocks. At that time, would it still be exactly ten thousand people?
[“What the hell? No need to enter the station today?”]
[“You wish, but diagnosed with a fish memory—did not that broadcast say earlier today we are going to some trading platform? There definitely must be special rules.”]
[“Sigh… What difference does it make what kind of platform it is? I just hope there is no danger. Trading… Heh, all my Train Coins were used to buy materials for upgrading the Train, where would I still have money to buy things.”]
Inside the Chat Room, everyone was chatting lively.
Right at this moment, that familiar cold, machine female voice sounded from the broadcast.
[The front of the Train is about to reach the seventh station; this platform is a public trading platform]
[All Train Captains will dock at this station]
[Since this station is a public platform, the docking time will take the Train Captain current position as the starting point, and travel 300 kilometers before reaching the trading platform]
[There are only 20 docking tracks in this platform, first-come, first-served. Trains arriving later at the platform will queue outside until the front Train leaves before entering the station]
[Attention, when heading to the seventh station, you will encounter monster attacks to slow down the Train speed]
The broadcast ended.
That gang of people in the Chat Room started making a fuss again.
[“Damn! Unfair! A Level 2 Train has a speed of only 40, that Li Xiaosheng has already upgraded to Level 3, a speed of 60 will definitely arrive first!”]
[“That is because Brother Li is awesome himself, what does it have to do with you? Why are you barking? @Li Xiaosheng, Hey, Brother Li, once you arrive at the station first, remember to send a screenshot for the brothers to see, haha.”]
Li Xiaosheng? He had already upgraded to Level 3.
It really was fast enough; this guy Talent should not be bad.
Li Xiaosheng: [“Haha, well said, rest assured brothers, as the first Level 3 Train in this block, I will naturally arrive first. Once I get there, I will inform my Alliance members of the situation there.”]
Below were full of compliments from the Alliance members of Li Xiaosheng.
“First, huh~”
The corners of Ye Qiyan mouth curved upward.
A Level 2 Train had a speed of 40, requiring seven and a half hours to reach the trading platform.
A Level 3 Train had a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, requiring five hours for a distance of 300 kilometers.
And Level 4 was 80 kilometers.
Reaching that station only required three hours and forty-five minutes.
But the Train speed of Ye Qiyan did not stop there either.
[Red Triple-Speed Train Acceleration Device]
[Standardized Acceleration Bullet]
Ever since acquiring this device initially, he had not encountered a situation where it needed extra acceleration. Now, he finally had a chance to use it.
Taking a bullet out of the storage unit and passing through the Train door, the Train Anywhere Door Module triggered, crossing the second carriage and directly arriving at the position of the Train head.
The acceleration device slowly rose.
A silver-white bullet the thickness of a baby arm was thrown into it.
“Start acceleration”
The Train began to accelerate.
A strong pushing sensation struck.
The endless wilderness outside the Train window retreated at an accelerated pace.
Ahead appeared the monsters mentioned by the broadcast that obstructed the Train.
But under the powerful impact of this 240 kilometers per hour speed, these monsters were directly smashed into meat patties.
In just ten minutes, the distance to the station displayed on the system light screen was left with only 260 kilometers.
“Continue.”
Another acceleration bullet was stuffed into the device.
Acceleration continued.
With the help of the two acceleration bullets, in just three hours, Ye Qiyan saw a huge platform truly located in this wilderness appear ahead.
Right at this moment, the Crossroads of Destiny, which had been quiet all along, appeared in front of Ye Qiyan right now.
[Crossroads of Destiny Triggered]
[The ahead platform is a public trading platform]
[Please select the entry route]
[1, Novice Trading Area (Level 1-3 Trading Station)]
[2, Ordinary Trading Area (Level 4-6 Trading Station)]
“Is there such a distinction? I choose 2, Ordinary Trading Area.”
Another five minutes.
The Train began to decelerate, suddenly changing tracks before passing through a layer of translucent dome, deviating from the platform with 20 tracks ahead, and coming to another larger station.
“Welcome, Train Conductor Ye Qiyan, Train No. E-3-1102, to the trading platform.”
[Current Platform: Traveling Station]
[Docking Countdown: Infinite?]
[Good luck]
[This Station: No danger?]
Docking time, infinite?
