Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

“So this is how you get Train Coins?”

“Four coins, that’s how it works.”

Ye Qiyan opened the train details, where the options that appeared after upgrading still remained at the top.

He spent three Train Coins to purchase the Basic Water Tank Blueprint and one hour of train docking time. After the purchase, Ye Qiyan had only one Train Coin left. If he could find a treasure chest at the next station, he might just gather enough to meet the requirements for the acceleration device.

Seeing the train’s departure countdown switch to 1:15, Ye Qiyan then turned to look at the rewards he obtained from the treasure chest.

The Colt M1911. Compared to the ordinary firearms taken from the Armory, this gun’s level of refinement could be called a work of art.

“It seems that guns in this world all use the same type of bullets.”

He loaded a magazine full of low-grade bullets, aimed the muzzle at a wooden box outside the train, and pulled the trigger. The wooden box instantly shattered into pieces.

“No way, this power can’t be right.”

They were all handguns, and those from the Armory used the same bullets, yet their power was at least half as weak.

“If I sublimated this...”

Ye Qiyan quickly shook his head to temporarily discard this dangerous idea.

If he was going to sublime it, now was not the time.

His physical and mental stamina were both close to the limit; it would be better to wait until he had recovered.

After putting away the pistol, Ye Qiyan immediately examined the two blueprints he had just obtained through the control system.

[Basic Water Tank Blueprint]

[Stores water, keeps water from spoiling or evaporating within ten days]

[Requires: Metal: 10 kilograms, Mechanical Parts: 20 units]

[External Garbage Collector]

[Collects trash on the platform, automatically stores collected trash back into the collector before leaving the station]

[Requires: Metal: 30 kilograms, Mechanical Parts: 100 units]

[Optional Upgrade: Add 300 mechanical parts for special modifications]

[After modification, it can automatically recycle collected trash at the workbench into usable materials]

“Looks like I can build both of these.”

Ye Qiyan softly muttered as he looked at the total resources he currently had.

[Wood: 210 kilograms]

[Metal: 60 kilograms]

[Mechanical Parts: 220 units]

The resources were enough, but if he built both, the first carriage would have to be temporarily put on hold.

“Wait a moment.”

He was not in a hurry. Since he had gained some extra docking time anyway, he might as well rest properly.

When the departure countdown entered its last hour, Ye Qiyan opened the trading platform.

The trading platform had special rules.

All conductors on the platform could not place anything onto the platform; only after leaving the station could they sell items.

This rule was likely designed to prevent people from transferring supplies within the station via the platform, thereby bypassing storage space limits.

However, purchasing items was not subject to this rule.

This meant that Ye Qiyan, still on the platform, could buy items that other conductors had placed on the trading platform after leaving the station.

But this rule seemed too foolish because it did not restrict private trades between conductors, nor did it limit people inside the station from purchasing.

Such an obvious loophole did not seem like something created by an entity capable of developing Train Survival.

It was almost as if it was hinting to them that the rules could be ignored to a certain extent?

Ye Qiyan didn’t ponder further. Next, he did only one thing.

Trade metal.

What would he trade with?

His eyes swept over the low-grade rifle and compressed biscuits beside him.

At a time like this, what people lacked most was a sense of security.

Weapons and food were among the things that could provide that security.

“No luck?”

Ye Qiyan kept refreshing the trading platform. Although some people posted the metal he needed, the quantities were too sparse, and the prices were absurdly high. Obviously, those people weren’t really trying to trade.

“They’re all just watching.”

He opened the chat room.

The other conductors had already left the first station, and the chat box started scrolling wildly.

[“Brothers, how was your haul at the first station? I searched a garbage station for a long time but found nothing valuable except a bunch of scrap tires. It pissed me off, but at least I got some rubber from decomposing the tires. Anyone want to buy? PM me!”]

[“Be grateful. My first station was a grassland, just grass everywhere, nothing else! And it’s impossible to walk on it, black mud everywhere, and a terrible stench. Disgusting.”]

[“Grassland is good. Black soil is very valuable.”]

[“What’s valuable about it? Can you eat it?”]

[“Black soil can be used to grow vegetables. It’s very useful.”]

[“Pfft, I thought you meant edible. What use is that? It’s just a tiny space at the train’s front. How could you possibly grow vegetables there? Ridiculous.”]

[“Anyone selling mechanical parts? I have a blueprint that needs mechanical parts to make.”]

A blueprint posted in the chat immediately caused a stir.

[Basic Mechanical Fishing Rod]

[Can automatically fish]

[Requires: Mechanical Parts: 20 units, Metal: 1 kilogram]

[“Wow! What’s this, a blueprint? Why don’t I have one?”]

[“They just got lucky. But is it okay to post this blueprint in the chat?”]

[“Pfft, it’s obvious none of you have blueprints. This is just a screenshot. Only those with the blueprint can manufacture it. Friend, I have 20 mechanical parts. I just want the bread and water you got at the start.”]

[“Sha Bei, wanting bread and water for 20 mechanical parts? You’re dreaming. I just want one bread and I’ll give you the parts!”]

[“I, I only want half a bread! But I have only 15 mechanical parts...”]

[“It’s just a fishing rod. What’s so special about it?”]

Not many people had any gains at the first station.

[“Anyone selling water? I’m dying of thirst...”]

[“Did you guys get any treasure chests?”]

[“What’s a treasure chest?”]

[“Uh, nothing. Forget I said anything.”]

[“Damn, I hate it when people say half a thing and leave it at that. In a situation like this, if you have info, aren’t you supposed to share?”]

[“Exactly, we’re all struggling to survive here. Helping each other is the least we can do!”]

Some people scolded the one who leaked the treasure chest information. Their ugly faces could be felt even through the screen.

That person finally couldn’t bear the malice and after a moment, posted a screenshot of the control system.

[Level 1 Treasure Chest Opened]

[Obtained Train Coins: 2]

[Obtained: Healing Salve]

[Obtained: Level 1 Blueprint: Aluminum Insulation Pad]
