In the chat room.
“Family, I didn't expect there to be a reward. I'm so excited, will I be rewarded with a younger sister?”
“No sister, how about a cup? Only used twice, exchange for food if you want it.”
“Do you feel it getting hotter?”
“It's alright, I just finished eating spicy hot pot, so it's a bit hot.”
“Why isn't it spring or autumn, why did it just jump straight to the middle of summer?”
“I have a thermometer, it's already thirty degrees Celsius!”
“No, first give some sweetness, then directly hit them dead with a big stick.”
It was really too hot, Qi Xiao was afraid that Ren Laotaiye would rot in the coffin, and he didn't want to put him in the refrigerated carriage, so he had no choice but to re-list him and his coffin back on the trading interface.
He carried the leftover roasted duck and lamb's head to the refrigerated carriage.
Thankfully, it still maintained the set temperature.
After the Black Wind Monster ran in, it immediately lay on the ground, sticking out its tongue to dissipate heat.
Qi Xiao saw the ice water that was frozen before and knew it would be very popular if listed now.
Trade materials, upgrade to level four, and he could also refresh the modification once more.
Qi Xiao checked the current material quantities:
“Metal: 300 kg \ 180.3 kg”
“Plastic: 150 kg \ 68.2 kg”
“Wood: 100 kg \ 8.8 kg”
He hadn't collected enough materials for upgrading in the past few stations, and he was quite short.
Opening the trading platform, Qi Xiao searched for metal, plastic, and wood.
Water, it was all for water.
Even after twelve days, water resources were still the main focus of everyone's demand.
And because the temperature was rising, the demand for water and its trading price were still rising sharply.
It had already increased from one liter of water for two kilograms of materials to three kilograms.
Trade plastic bottles, fill them with water.
Then trade the materials needed for upgrading.
...
At ten o'clock in the evening, the temperature still hadn't dropped.
“Why does it feel hotter than during the day? Where's that guy with the thermometer? What's the temperature now?”
“Thirty-two degrees. Lie down for a while, a calm mind naturally feels cool.”
“I want to lie down too, but the conditions don't allow it, the carriage is burning my butt!”
“I have a modification to install an air conditioner in the carriage, which brother will fund me two train coins!”
“If I fund you, can you give me your air conditioner?”
“Who has ice water? I'll trade train coins for it. I can't take it anymore!”
If this screen could move, it would be great, it's really too hot here.
Air conditioner, I'm envious.
Why didn't I get this modification?
Qi Xiao, naked, drank ice water, constantly trading water for materials, then throwing them into the feeding area.
Qi Xiao tried opening the door of the refrigerated carriage, attempting to let the cold air flow out.
However, that cold air did not leak out at all; 'rules of power' ensured the cold air only existed within the refrigerated carriage.
The Black Wind Monster was so hot that it couldn't stand it anymore, so it returned to the refrigerated carriage to cool down.
Once the temperature dropped, it ran back to sit at Qi Xiao's feet.
After a rough calculation in the afternoon, Qi Xiao figured out that the water tank could restore a maximum of one hundred and twenty liters of water per day.
One iron bucket of water was about ten liters, and it took two hours for the water tank to refill.
His daily use was completely sufficient.
From noon until now, Qi Xiao had traded out all the stream water, and also traded more than thirty bottles of minecraft water.
He exchanged them for three train coins, one hundred and ten kilograms of metal, eighty kilograms of plastic, and two kilograms of wood.
“Metal: 300 kg \ 290.3 kg”
“Plastic: 150 kg \ 148.2 kg”
“Wood: 100 kg \ 10.8 kg”
Not enough, far from enough.
Qi Xiao threw the few dumbbells and the laptop he had left into the feeding area, and finally, the metal and plastic were complete.
He was still short ninety kilograms of wood.
Why were there so few people trading wood? Was someone monopolizing it?
Qi Xiao entered the chat room to check everyone's current levels.
Three level three players?
Where did they come from?
Goodness, as soon as they heard there were rewards, they stopped hiding, didn't they?
The avatar flickered, and the ranking changed; someone had risen to level four.
Zhang Baobao?
This big bald head, squash face, and phoenix eyes, how did they combine to form this face?
Xi Jian: “It's so hot, do you have water?”
“Fat house happy water, refrigerated version, only one Train Coin.”
“Taking advantage of the situation?”
“No, no, no, you know me, I'm usually like this too.”
“***!”
“You can also trade for wood.”
“No, I used it all up when I leveled up to two. One Train Coin it is then, hurry up, I can't stand it anymore.”
A flash of light, and Qi Xiao received a Train Coin.
“Ah, I'm alive again. I've stripped down to just one piece of clothing.”
“Wait, where did you get ice cola? Did you modify a refrigerator?”
Qi Xiao thought for a moment and replied:
“Something like that.”
“You really know how to enjoy yourself, you even have a refrigerator.”
“You're not bad either, the Simmons mattress must be very comfortable to sleep on.”
“Yin-yang person! Rotten ass!”
...
In a black Train, four men, bare-chested, drank wine and ate roasted lamb legs.
“Boss, the higher the level, the better the reward?”
“Nonsense. Keep a close eye, see if anyone reaches level four.”
“No, only you, Boss, are level four. Boss, you are unparalleled through the ages.”
“We started collecting wood five days ago, and all the wood on the trading platform has already been traded by us.”
“If they can't get wood, they won't be able to upgrade.”
“Still, Boss had foresight!”
“Otherwise, why would he be the Boss? Come, let's all toast the Boss!”
The men clinked their cups, and the carriage was immediately filled with a joyful atmosphere.
“It's really damn hot, Third Brother, go get me that bottle of ice water.”
“Boss, it's already hot water.”
“Damn it, this damn carriage, is it trying to cook me alive?!”
“Boss, someone in the chat room is shouting about trading ice water for wood!”
“It's Qi Xiao, that pretty boy!”
Zhang Baobao got up and came to the screen, pushing away Old Fourth who was guarding it.
“Let me see what's going on, he wants to reach level four?”
“One bottle of ice cola for ten kilograms of wood, only ten bottles, first come, first served, gone if you're slow.”
“One bottle of ice cola for ten kilograms of wood, only ten bottles, first come, first served, gone if you're slow.”
“Ice cola, did I see that right? No wood, is metal okay @Qi Xiao”
“Where did this guy get ice cola? He must be bluffing.”
Zhang Baobao swallowed.
“Third Brother, bring over a bedside table.”
“Coming, Boss.”
With a flash of light, the Boss received a bottle of ice cola, steaming with white mist and cold to the touch.
It really was ice cola!
He excitedly twisted open the cap, and with a hiss, a burst of cool air emerged.
Gulping down several mouthfuls, Zhang Baobao let out a comfortable burp.
“Boss, is this okay?”
Old Fourth asked cautiously.
“It's just this little bit, what could possibly happen! Didn't you see that others wanted to drink but had no wood to trade?”
“Keep watching closely.”
Zhang Baobao took the ice cola and went back to continue eating lamb legs.
...
Eleven fifty-nine PM.
“Boss, no one reached level four! Not even Qi Xiao!”
“I told you so, look how panicked you are, not steady at all.”
The broadcast sounded promptly at twelve o'clock:
“Internship period ended, rewards will be distributed soon”
“Reward one: Obtain (level number) × 100 kilograms of metal, plastic, and wood”
“Reward two: Obtain (level number) × 1 Train Coin”
“The Train Conductor ranked first in overall performance receives a special treasure chest”
“Rewards distributed, good night, good dreams to all Train Conductors”
