Although he could depart after eleven, the screen was currently unusable, so he had to wait until twelve.
Xiao Jie was diligently cutting the tree, with no other expression visible on his face.
Qi Xiao was silent, no longer speaking.
......
The Train is about to depart, please sit down and hold on tight.
Is it finally twelve o'clock?
As the familiar broadcast sound came, Qi Xiao stood up, patted the dirt off his butt, and returned to the carriage.
Just as Qi Xiao was about to close the carriage door, Xiao Jie came over.
His small hands trembled, and he tossed Qi Xiao a workbench, a furnace, and two golden apples.
"Brother, take them out and see if they're useful."
Qi Xiao looked surprised:
"How did you do that in such a short time?"
"I told you I'm a pro player."
Xiao Jie's face was extremely proud.
"Brother, will you come back again?"
Qi Xiao thought of that strange woman and nodded:
"Maybe."
The carriage door closed, and the Train disappeared.
"Then when you come back, I'll give you a surprise!"
"Goodbye, Brother!"
Xiao Jie waved his blocky hand, bidding farewell to the air.
Wang someone ran over, looking confused:
"What are you doing, waving at the air? Where's my big brother?"
"Brother left, I'm saying goodbye."
"Left? My big brother left? Why didn't he take me with him, Big Brother, Big Brother!"
......
Qi Xiao placed the workbench in the corner of the carriage and the furnace on the other side.
As soon as the Train started, everything returned to its original state, no longer a pile of blocks.
The screen also lit up.
Qi Xiao looked helpless; if it weren't for the screen being unusable, he should have gained much more this trip.
A pile of potatoes, saplings, and an iron bucket fell from Qi Xiao's body.
The potatoes looked no different from ordinary potatoes, and neither did the saplings.
The furnace was made of stone, with two levels.
The bottom Level 1 was for fuel, and the top Level 1 was for items to be smelted.
Qi Xiao put the potatoes into the upper Level 1 of the furnace, threw the saplings into the bottom Level 1, and without needing to light it, the furnace automatically started working.
The golden apple had no effect; it was just a regular golden apple.
The workbench couldn't craft anything; it was just an ordinary wooden table.
Qi Xiao's heart sank; he was a little worried whether the infinite water could still maintain its properties.
In the refrigerated carriage, the stone trough Qi Xiao had built with stone blocks turned into a meter-long, half-meter-wide square stone water tank.
In the water tank, Qi Xiao's face was reflected in the clear water.
Qi Xiao used an iron bucket to scoop a bucket of water from the water tank.
Gulp.
Success or failure depended on this one move, and Qi Xiao couldn't help but swallow.
The water level slowly rose.
Although it was slow, it was indeed rising.
Qi Xiao looked at the slowly rising water level, feeling as if he had discovered oil.
Properties, awesome!
The Black Wind Monster, seeing water in the bucket, stretched its neck and drank several mouthfuls.
Seeing that the Black Wind Monster had finished drinking without any issues, and even wanted more, Qi Xiao felt relieved.
Coming to the locomotive, Qi Xiao put the five train coins into the treasure chest.
Excluding the two used for dynamic concealment, there were now fourteen train coins in total.
He gained two rifles; Qi Xiao didn't understand the specific models, but at least he no longer only had a small pistol.
The two machetes were not bad, very sharp.
On the trading platform, the Black Wind Monster's dog bowl was also exchanged.
While the potatoes were roasting, Qi Xiao used the water from the iron bucket to clean the dog bowl, then placed it where the Black Wind Monster ate.
The roasted potatoes were also ready, and Qi Xiao took them out of the furnace.
He peeled off the potato skins and threw them into the Black Wind Monster's dog bowl.
The potatoes were fragrant, soft, and delicious!
Hot food is indeed delicious, Qi Xiao sighed.
This furnace was quite convenient.
At this moment, the broadcast suddenly sounded.
"Good afternoon, Train Conductors, the internship period is about to end, and a small gift will be given to everyone."
"Wishing everyone a pleasant life and continued effort."
The broadcast ended, a light flashed in the carriage, and Qi Xiao received a plate of sliced roast duck.
The sizzling, amber-colored duck skin exuded the aroma of fruitwood charcoal grilling.
Thin pancakes, shredded cucumber, green onions, and sweet bean paste were arranged around it, tantalizing Qi Xiao's taste buds.
"Woof woof woof!"
The aroma of roast duck spread, and the Black Wind Monster's tail wagged excitedly.
The potatoes in his hand instantly lost their appeal.
Qi Xiao carried the plate to the workbench, and also moved a chair over.
Then he went to the refrigerated carriage and took out a bottle of sparkling water, which, paired with a mouthful of rolled pancake, greatly satisfied his taste buds.
The Black Wind Monster was there, sticking out its rear, gnawing on the duck meat Qi Xiao had thrown to it.
Ding dong ding dong ding dong.
Qi Xiao rolled another pancake and got up to check Xi Jian's message.
"What's your small gift?"
"Is it food?"
"Is it delicious? Can we trade?"
"Have you ever eaten a lamb's head? It's delicious. Do you want to trade? I promise I haven't touched it."
"It's delicious, and you haven't touched it?"
"I'm allergic to lamb."
Heh heh, Qi Xiao laughed, she could even make up such a lame excuse.
"I'm really speechless, I didn't get anything good to eat from the novice gift package."
"This time it's still not good food, they gave me a lamb's head."
"I seriously suspect they're targeting me."
After negotiation, Qi Xiao finally traded two roast duck rolls for a lamb's head.
Qi Xiao, holding the lamb's head, was also confused; he had only seen others eat this online, and he really didn't know where to start eating it himself.
Never mind, I'll reward it to the Black Wind Monster.
Qi Xiao threw the lamb's head into the Black Wind Monster's dog bowl.
Qi Xiao opened the chat room.
Online users: 4001.
Sixy percent of people died during the internship period?
Then the number of people would drop even faster after the internship period ended.
Qi Xiao searched for Xiao Jie and found three results.
Among them was a cheerful little boy with a gray avatar.
Deceased people would be directly removed from the chat room, while a gray avatar represented being off the Train, temporarily offline.
Like Wang someone, whose avatar was also gray when he boarded someone else's Train.
Moreover, Xiao Jie had added him as a friend before.
The friend request note was: Boss, someone offered me ten bottles of water and ten loaves of bread for a Train Coin, can I trust them?
Qi Xiao smiled, so that's how train coins were conned away.
After accepting the request, Qi Xiao's list gained a friend with a gray avatar.
Qi Xiao sorted the people by level, and sure enough, only he was Level 3.
The vast majority of people were Level 2, with only a very few still Level 1.
Just then, another broadcast sounded.
"The internship period is about to end, and rewards will be issued tonight at twelve based on each Train Conductor's comprehensive performance over the past twelve days."
"Comprehensive performance includes, but is not limited to, Chief level, duration of station exploration outside, number of treasure chests found, etc."
"Please note, the Train's anti-interference function and carriage constant temperature function will be turned off."
"Now starting random initial season."
"Initial season set to: summer."
As soon as the broadcast ended, Qi Xiao clearly felt the temperature inside the carriage begin to rise, and the sparkling water he had just taken out was no longer very cold.
