Xi Jian returned to the Train, the smile on her face began to fade, gradually turning into disappointment.
Smiling was a disguise she wore in front of others.
She had always been clearly aware that the only reason Qi Xiao kept her around was because she possessed a Special Module.
Arrival Reward: When the Train stops, gain train coins equal to the current level.
I'm completely incomparable to Hui Hui and Liu Liu.
One of them is a master with a knife, and the other is a Huluwa who can turn invisible.
I'm nothing.
When danger strikes, not only am I useless, but I also become a burden to them.
It's a good thing Yao Yao didn't take away the carriage today...
But what about later?
What can I do for them?
Cook? Wash clothes?
Cook... I only know how to make steamed eggs...
Wash clothes, there's a washing machine, so I don't need to do it myself...
They don't lack a nanny.
The Arrival Reward is useless too; I'm completely redundant on this Train.
Oh, right, the Arrival Reward!
This morning, before Qi Xiao gave her a clear answer, Yao Yao had already teleported her away.
Xi Jian quickly tapped on the screen; she saw that the number of train coins obtained was fifteen more than when she last logged out.
It's useful!
That Qi Xiao!
He really did collect them!
In his eyes, coins are practically more important than his life!
Amidst her excitement, Xi Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that it's useful...
This might be my only use.
How can I maximize this use?
Right, level up!
Just then, the figures of Qi Xiao and the other two appeared inside the Train.
Xi Jian reined in her wandering thoughts and smiled, saying,
"You're back."
Qi Xiao saw the brightly lit screen behind Xi Jian and raised an eyebrow.
Then, he leaned into Xi Jian's ear and whispered,
"You weren't last during the warm-up, so I'll keep my word; you don't have to return the coins you borrowed from me."
Xi Jian silently gave him the middle finger.
Qi Xiao laughed heartily.
"Let's go, let's see our haul."
"Xi Jie, we got four carriages! Four!"
Liu Liu excitedly high-fived Xi Jian in celebration.
"Liu Liu is amazing!"
"Oh yeah!"
The group chatted and laughed as they walked.
Xi Jian's stress also lessened.
"You should have seen the expressions on those people's faces when Liu Liu broke the record."
"Hui Hui was awesome too; she almost broke the record!"
Li Huizi smiled shyly.
Qi Xiao originally had twenty-five carriages, and after this competition, the number reached twenty-nine.
The four of them quickly arrived at the twenty-sixth carriage.
This was the initial carriage Li Huizi had chosen.
Not only was this carriage red, but even its glass windows were the same square shape as Qi Xiao's.
There were several types of glass windows: square, round, oval, and so on.
For example, Kong You's were round.
The number also varied, with some having three windows on one side and others having four.
The carriage Li Huizi chose was exactly the same as Qi Xiao's previous initial carriage.
This carriage was located in the middle section, likely belonging to a Train Conductor from the third session.
Qi Xiao pulled open the carriage door, and the expected dust was nowhere to be found.
This carriage looked brand new, empty and devoid of anything.
But at least it was an initial carriage that couldn't be dismantled; just this point alone far surpassed ordinary carriages.
However, Li Huizi was clearly a bit disappointed.
She had originally wanted to break the record and get two carriages for Qi Xiao, but unfortunately, she was just a little short.
This carriage was also empty, which made her feel even more guilty.
If she had broken the record, she could have gotten another identical carriage.
Who knows, there might have been something in there.
Thinking of this, Li Huizi felt even more guilty.
Qi Xiao noticed Li Huizi's expression, then quickened his steps to the next carriage without lingering too long.
The twenty-seventh carriage was a red, enlarged carriage that Liu Liu had chosen according to Qi Xiao's instructions.
The reason Qi Xiao chose this was because the current bedroom was too small.
His bed, Liu Liu's sofa bed, plus Xi Jian's Simmons mattress, and the Black Wind Monster's dog bed.
Three beds and one dog bed, plus a PS5; the current bedroom was almost too cramped to walk in.
And the enlarged carriages Qi Xiao had previously modified were two initial carriages, one refrigerated carriage, one planting carriage, and one gravity carriage.
None of them could be used as a bedroom.
In order to better keep an eye on Xi Jian moving forward, Qi Xiao chose an enlarged ordinary carriage.
A large ordinary carriage was seven meters long, four meters wide, and three and a half meters high.
Moving the bedroom here would make it spacious enough.
As soon as Qi Xiao pulled open the door, everyone instinctively wrinkled their noses.
"What's that smell?"
"It's diesel."
With the carriage door fully open, everyone looked closely and saw that there was actually a vehicle parked inside.
The vehicle was overall dark green, with a massive body.
It had a domineering open-air convertible top, paired with sexy black rims, and a steering wheel that looked like it had been handled so much it was polished smooth.
"Holy crap... a three-wheeled vehicle?"
Xi Jian exclaimed.
Li Huizi looked confused; what was a three-wheeled vehicle?
There was actually a diesel three-wheeled vehicle parked inside this carriage!
Qi Xiao reached out and touched the vehicle.
This wasn't a prop; it was just an ordinary diesel three-wheeled vehicle.
It must have been brought out of some world by the owner of this carriage.
This three-wheeled vehicle wasn't small; the cargo box alone was two meters long and one and a half meters wide.
There was more than enough room for Qi Xiao and the other three to sit in it.
It could be used to transport goods...
How do you start it?
Although Qi Xiao had a driver's license, he had never driven this kind of three-wheeled vehicle before.
At this moment, Xi Jian excitedly pounced onto the driver's seat.
"You've driven one before?"
"Yeah, during summer vacation when I went back to my hometown for school, I was the one who drove it!"
Qi Xiao looked incredulous.
"It's been a long time since I drove one; let me remember."
Xi Jian touched the steering wheel, appearing somewhat excited.
"I didn't realize before, but you have quite a few skills."
Qi Xiao said with a smile.
She could even drive something so obscure.
He then thought, well, she's a translator, so it's normal for her to be able to drive a three-wheeled vehicle.
"Of course, I know a lot more things, big brother!"
Xi Jian said proudly.
She found the key under the seat, and as the key was inserted and turned, the three-wheeled vehicle immediately came to life, emitting low growls.
At the same time, black smoke began to spew from the exhaust pipe at the back of the three-wheeled vehicle.
"This vehicle is good! It even has a hydraulic dump bed, so it can unload automatically!"
With that, Xi Jian even demonstrated it to everyone.
"Okay, okay, it's fine if it's not broken. Stop it quickly!"
Qi Xiao hurriedly told her to stop.
"What's wrong?"
"It's spewing black smoke, and this room will be used for living later."
"Huh?"
Xi Jian was clearly still eager to continue, but she nevertheless stopped the three-wheeled vehicle.
Meanwhile, Qi Xiao had already collected the five barrels of diesel in the corner into his jie bracelet.
He would have to thoroughly clean this carriage later and move the bed over once the smell was gone.
After confirming there was nothing else, they entered the third carriage.
Xi Jian then jumped off the three-wheeled vehicle and quickly followed.
The twenty-eighth carriage was the only uniquely shaped carriage among the four.
From the outside, this carriage had three thick, black cannons on each of its left and right sides.
