Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 24: Creating the Power Generator, New Weather: Hot Tropical Wind

Shangguan Yingxue fell silent for a moment upon hearing such a vague answer.

She was half-submerged in the steaming warm water, hesitating briefly before continuing:

“What are you collecting the gunpowder for? Bullets? Can you sell me some?”

Bullets were already attracting customers as soon as they were made.

Ye Qiyan squinted. As the second train conductor besides himself to reach level 2, Shangguan Yingxue naturally had more resources than most others.

Moreover, unlike Li Xiaosheng who was somewhat troublesome, trading with her was relatively easy.

“Of course I can sell you bullets, but this time I don’t want water or resources. I only want train coins. One train coin for 30 bullets.”

“Are you robbing me?”

“No, I’m stating a fact. My bullets are worth that price.”

He sent a screenshot.

Seeing the level 3 affix attached to the bullets, Shangguan Yingxue’s eyes widened in disbelief as she murmured:

“How is that possible? Level 3 bullets? Has he really already reached level 3?”

But she didn’t ask questions like “How do you have level 3 bullets?”

Everyone had their secrets and their luck.

Just like her.

Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Yingxue hesitated for a moment but decided to try bargaining.

“Fifty bullets, one train coin for fifty bullets. Thirty is too few, not nearly enough.”

“Fifty is too many. How about forty bullets, a middle ground?”

Often when bargaining, one side would leave a middle value.

Once that middle value was spoken, both parties would usually accept it.

Shangguan Yingxue sighed inwardly and took out a pouch from her side, pulling out her only three train coins with some reluctance.

“Deal... but you have to give me a gun as well. The one I had before was a bit damaged.”

“I can’t just give you one, but I can sell you a new one. Don’t rush to refuse, take a look at the new gun before deciding.”

[Exquisite Sharpshooter Rifle] (Level 2)

Seeing the gun in the screenshot, clearly more luxurious and powerful than a low-grade rifle, Shangguan Yingxue subconsciously felt desire stirring.

“How much?”

“Not much, two train coins. I’ll throw in 10 bullets as a gift. Counting the previous ones, that’s fifty bullets total. Fits your needs perfectly. Pretty generous, right?”

Silently glancing at the three train coins in her hand, Shangguan Yingxue felt oddly like she was being watched. Otherwise, how could he know exactly what she had now?

After hesitating for a while, Shangguan Yingxue gritted her teeth.

“Deal.”

“Of course. By the way, I remember you have a Wooden Bed Blueprint. Could you help me make one? Of course, I’ll provide the materials. Consider it a return gift for the extra ten bullets.”

“... 10 kilograms of wood.”

Shangguan Yingxue no longer wanted to say anything. After the deal was done, she only sighed as she looked at the extra wood sent over, then made the bed and sent it.

Gaining three train coins and a bed to sleep on, this trade was a huge win for Ye Qiyan.

The exquisite sharpshooter rifle was of little use to him.

After acquiring the Judgment of Gunfire module, even just using a handgun he could hit distant targets. Keeping the rifle was pointless; better to sell it for train coins.

Lying on the bed after a long time, his mood improved significantly.

Fourteen train coins—that was his current wealth.

“Trading with this kind of person is pleasant, no unnecessary nonsense. Oh, and there’s her.”

Ye Qiyan unloaded the low-grade rifles on the warning platform, all sublimated to level 2, and sold them to Zhao Lin for two train coins each, then exchanged 100 low-grade bullets for five freshwater fish.

That brought his total train coins to sixteen.

Shortly after, he successfully acquired electronic components.

After consuming the materials, Ye Qiyan directly built and installed the surveillant device in the third train car.

Like the warning device, he couldn’t upgrade it for now. The level 4 threshold required figuring out how to surpass it first.

“Oh right, now I can exchange for the power generator, right?”

Ye Qiyan hadn’t forgotten the option unlocked after reaching level 3.

That power generator blueprint, worth six train coins.

“Exchange.”

[Energy Power Generator Manufacturing Blueprint (Level 3)]

[Requires: 50 mechanical parts, 40 kilograms of metal]

The materials needed were less than he had expected.

That was good—no extra trades needed. Ye Qiyan directly made the power generator.

[Energy Power Generator]

[Consumes diesel to generate power]

Diesel was available on the trading platform but only one barrel, and a very small amount at that. Even if bought, it wouldn’t last long, and acquiring more was probably difficult.

Ye Qiyan was not satisfied with this, so he patted the generator, which was about the height of his calf, and began sublimation.

[Energy Power Generator → Power Generator·Enchanted Omnivorous] (Level 3)

[Consumes resources such as metal/wood/coal/oil to generate power]

“Now I don’t need to buy oil anymore.”

He casually threw in a piece of wood, and the power generator’s battery level rose slightly.

He bought some electric light bulbs to hang in the train cars. With electricity, there was no need to endure darkness at night anymore.

On the fourth day after arriving in this world, he could finally lie in bed like a normal human and count stars as he drifted to sleep.

Of course, there were no stars tonight.

Only the suffocating, rolling black clouds above.

The wilderness night was especially lonely. There were no monster attacks tonight, only increasingly faint thunder and the fading drips of rain.

The thunderstorm quietly passed.

The next morning, dazzling sunlight shone through the window onto Ye Qiyan’s face.

He woke up groggily, stretched lazily, grabbed a White Forest Fruit as breakfast, and habitually headed to the train’s front cabin.

But the moment he stepped inside, a wave of heat struck him awake instantly.

“Damn! So hot! What’s going on?”

“Ding dong!”

The broadcast sounded.

“Today’s weather is hot wind day.”

“All train conductors, please take care. Maintain your body temperature and avoid heatstroke.”

“The weather changed again? But this time it didn’t say the platform would change too.”

Ye Qiyan returned to the temperature-controlled car to wash his face, gritted his teeth, and went back to the front cabin.

“It’s really inconvenient that the control system can only be used at the front cabin.”

Opening the chat room, it was already bustling with voices.

In fact, everyone except Ye Qiyan had already been woken by the weather change earlier. Being able to sleep until now, he was the only one.
