Chapter 47
Chapter 47: The Eighth Platform · Plain of Knights
Needless to say about the generator; he had the blueprint, and after directly consuming resources to manufacture it and then undergoing Sublimation, he obtained a device that could generate electricity by simply burning wood and Metal.
The environment inside the planting carriage was relatively humid, with six sections inside whose sizes could be freely divided; the temperature and humidity in these sections could be adjusted.
Beneath his feet was not the Train’s steel floor, but black, fertile soil. The White Forest Fruit Tree was planted right in the center, and the freely opening skylight above the carriage happened to let in the sunlight.
There was still a lot of space left, so Ye Qiyan simply planted the tomatoes he had obtained from Youyu Manor. The growth acceleration effect of the planting carriage was very significant, and they took root and sprouted not long after being planted.
It was expected that the first batch of tomatoes would grow in three days.
He also bought watermelon seeds on the Trading Platform.
At a glance, these were left over after someone finished eating them and tried throwing them onto the Trading Platform. The price was set quite cheaply, yet no one bought them.
It just happened to benefit him.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ye Qiyan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
There was still plenty of empty space left; in the future, he could keep an eye out for seeds and plants in the Platform, and useful ones could be completely transplanted inside.
There was basically nothing he needed on the Trading Platform right now, but there was no rush, as the blocks were about to close.
The Train Captains in other blocks would definitely bring new trading products.
[9:30:00]
As soon as the three hours were up,
the broadcast sound rang out on time.
[“Start block merging”]
[D-56, D-119 — — E-3, E-19, E-28, E-103, totaling 10,000 people, starting merger]
[Merger complete]
[Current number of people: 10000 / 10000]
No earth-shattering changes took place; only the number of people in the Chat Room continuously increased until it returned to the initial 10,000 people.
Within the public screen, lines of scrolling text made people feel as if they had returned to when they first arrived in this world.
[“F*ck, did they really merge? Hey hey hey, can the brothers in other blocks see this?”]
[“We can see, we can see, haha, finally someone can come chat again. There are only more than 300 people left on our side, almost all of us are dead, where are you guys?”]
[“Just over a thousand, but how many blocks are there in this world anyway? Oh mother, there are three-digit numbers following the letters now.”]
[“Just over a thousand is fine, then looking at it this way, our 1,900 people in D-119 are still considered the most, huh?”]
[“That’s for sure, with Brother Zhao around, at least we won’t starve to death.”]
[“Who is Brother Zhao? Is he that awesome?”]
[“Of course, Brother Zhao is the most awesome big shot in our D-119. He started growing vegetables at the very first station, and a lot of the food we eat now is bought from him. Furthermore, Brother Zhao has a Level 3 Train!”]
[“So what if it’s Level 3, so what if he grows vegetables? It’s like we don’t have any here. Our Brother Li is definitely the first to upgrade to Level 3.”]
[“Exactly, our block even has people selling guns, do you guys have that?”]
Arguments, laughter, and showing off.
While constantly merging, the people between different blocks also attached different labels to themselves.
Even if the survivors within the blocks didn’t have much emotional attachment in themselves, the row of letters and numbers before their individual identification numbers would still bring an extremely minute sense of self-identity.
Clearly having nothing to do with themselves, they still used other people’s excellence to show off, as if all blocks shared glory and disgrace together.
“Starting to grow vegetables at the very first station, as expected there are capable people among the survivors, tsk tsk tsk. Sigh, I’m still too weak; I’m only starting to grow vegetables almost at the eighth station, falling way too far behind.”
Ye Qiyan shook his head with a sigh, took a bite of a White Forest Fruit, and opened the Trading Platform he cared about the most.
Since the blocks had all merged, the Trading Platform should have merged as well.
Sure enough, inside the Trading Platform, there were now a considerable number of various items and supplies that had never existed before.
Every block had its own situation. Just like that D-119 just now, they seemed more inclined to sell food, but there were completely no seeds or anything of the sort.
This was normal; after all, with someone starting to farm from the very first station, most of the seeds in D-119 should have ended up in that guy’s hands.
“There are quite a few things, let me take a look.”
Browsing the Trading Platform for a long time, Ye Qiyan bought a few changes of clothes, a bar of soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste on it.
The prices of these things were neither high nor low, and very few people bought them. After all, most people still had survival issues, and very few would spend resources to improve their quality of life.
With these things, Ye Qiyan simply splurged a bit.
He also bought a large wooden barrel filled with clean water, stripped off his clothes, and jumped inside.
“Hiss, hoo…”
The water was very cold, but also very comfortable.
Ye Qiyan narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, continuously relaxing his body in the water.
All his fatigue dissipated at this moment.
After taking a bath, changing into a set of clean clothes, and lying on the soft, large bed, if not for the roaring sound of the wheels beside his ears, at this moment, whatever Train survival it was, none of it mattered anymore.
[12:30:00]
Thirty minutes before arriving at the eighth Platform.
[Crossroads of Fate triggered, please make a docking choice between the following two Platforms]
[Platform One: Train Maze (Level 4 Escape Platform)]
[Platform Two: Plain of Knights (Level 4 Mission Platform)]
This was another new type of Platform.
Escape, literally speaking, was not a good place, and the name of this stop was also called Maze.
In comparison, as a Mission Platform, Ye Qiyan had experienced the second option many times, and the harvest here would ultimately not be too bad.
“Select Platform Two”
[Platform selection complete]
[Please sit tight and hold on steady, the eighth stop arriving ahead of the Train is…]
[Plain of Knights]
The Train moved forward, slowly accelerating as time passed.
Distortion appeared ahead of the Train.
When the hour hand on the pocket watch pointed to one, the entire Train passed through the nothingness.
The world outside the window changed in a split second.
[Current Platform: Plain of Knights]
[Docking countdown: 09:59:59]
[Good luck]
[This station: Danger]
“Huh? What the hell is this docking time?”
Ye Qiyan rubbed his eyes, thinking he had misread it, but the countdown displayed on the Light Screen told him this was real.
“System, isn’t my docking time only five hours?”
The Train System’s response quickly came through the broadcast.
[“The Train Captain’s docking time is fixed, and will not be changed after being increased. The docking time of Train Conductor Ye Qiyan with serial number E-3-1102 has been interfered with by ??, hence the docking time has been increased.”]
[“Furthermore, because Train Conductor Ye Qiyan’s docking time exceeds the upper limit for newbie Train Captains, before reaching the tenth Platform, the option to upgrade the Train will not include the option to increase the Train docking time.”]
