"Boss, it's a special treasure chest! I've never seen a special treasure chest before!"
"Hmph, look at how unpromising you are. I'll let you open it later."
"Thank you, Boss!"
Three minutes passed.
Zhang Baobao was picking his teeth with a toothpick and shaking his leg:
"What's going on? We've received everything else, but where's the special treasure chest?"
"We're the only Level 4, so it couldn't have been given to anyone else, right?"
The third brother, drunk, slurred:
"Sp-special, it might just take a wh-while."
"B-boss," the fourth brother's finger trembled uncontrollably as he pointed at the screen, "N-not just us, that pretty boy is also Level 4!"
......
"Special treasure chest, let me see just how special it is."
Qi Xiao held the uniquely shaped special treasure chest, with Ren Laotaiye standing beside him.
The Fat House Happy Water that Qi Xiao had put up for sale earlier only sold three bottles in the end; someone was definitely monopolizing the wood.
"Sorry, Ren Laotaiye, I used your little nest for upgrading."
The special treasure chest was indeed uniquely shaped. Qi Xiao opened the treasure chest, and inside were ten train coins, a silver bracelet, and a silver coin.
A silver coin?
The second silver coin!
It had a dragon pattern, a Chenlong silver coin.
Qi Xiao immediately took it to the screen to activate it.
Now, out of the twelve patterns, two have been lit up.
Chenlong and Youji.
What would he get if all of them were lit up?
Qi Xiao grew even more curious.
After activating the silver coin, Qi Xiao picked up the jie bracelet.
"jie bracelet: Comes with a special space, capable of storing items without souls. Initial maximum item weight: fifty kilograms. Can be upgraded using train coins."
As expected of a special treasure chest, it indeed yielded good things.
Qi Xiao put on the jie bracelet, touched the treasure chest, and with a thought, the treasure chest was stored inside the jie bracelet.
With another thought, the treasure chest reappeared in its original spot.
It could be stored and retrieved at will. With this, collecting supplies would be much easier in the future.
The first upgrade required three train coins, which would increase the carrying capacity by fifty kilograms.
Qi Xiao went to the front of the Train and carried out the treasure chest.
After taking out the train coins and costume cards, he put them all into the special treasure chest.
After confirming there was nothing left inside, Qi Xiao threw it into the feeding area.
After all, it came out of a coffin, so it was a bit unlucky.
Qi Xiao counted the train coins; there were thirty-three in total!
He could be extravagant and upgrade the jie bracelet once first.
After putting three train coins into the jie bracelet, Qi Xiao chose to upgrade.
Level 2 jie bracelet, carrying capacity one hundred kilograms.
The next upgrade required five train coins and would add a time-stop effect when storing items.
Qi Xiao could only spend five more train coins to upgrade.
What a rip-off, shouldn't it come with a time-stop effect already?
If it had no soul, Qi Xiao put his hand on Ren Laotaiye and successfully stored him in the jie bracelet.
Good heavens, when his level was higher, he could carry Ren Laotaiye with him everywhere!
Each type of upgrade material had reached four hundred kilograms, enough to upgrade to Level 5.
Before that, he would first check out the new modifications refreshed for Level 4.
"Lazy Person's Essential (Account-bound): Screen removed, replaced by a light screen that can be summoned at will (5 train coins)"
"Basic Bathroom Component: Obtain a Train-specific shower head, washbasin, toilet, and a hidden external water tank (5 train coins)"
"Sapphire Blue: Change carriage color to sapphire blue (1 Train coin)"
Qi Xiao directly spent five train coins to unlock "Lazy Person's Essential."
The screen disappeared, replaced by a light screen that Qi Xiao could summon at any time.
Finally, he didn't have to suffer sitting here anymore.
Qi Xiao stored the treasure chest in the jie bracelet, called Black Wind Monster, and quickly returned to the refrigerated carriage.
He filled Black Wind Monster's dog bowl with water and twisted open a bottle of soda water for himself to drink.
Phew, he felt alive again.
Qi Xiao chose the newly added fourth carriage as the location for the bathroom modification.
In the back right of the carriage, a glass room, a dry-wet separated bathroom, suddenly appeared.
Outside was a washbasin with a mirror, and to the right was a toilet.
Inside, a shower head appeared on the carriage wall.
The bathroom had a water level gauge, currently showing one hundred liters of stored water, with a maximum storage capacity of three tons.
Beside it was a covered water inlet where water could be added.
Qi Xiao tried it out; the water temperature from the shower head could be adjusted, up to fifty-five degrees Celsius.
Qi Xiao took a shower and, upon coming out, saw that eighty liters of water remained.
A single shower used twenty liters of water.
Tsk, it was a bit painful to see.
After drying himself, Qi Xiao returned to the refrigerated carriage, burrowed into the wool blanket, and summoned the light screen.
One more level up, Level 5!
Remaining supplies after upgrading to Level 5:
"Metal: 300 kg \ 203 kg"
"Plastic: 150 kg \ 250.5 kg"
"Wood: 100 kg \ 311.8 kg"
There was still quite a lot of redundant material.
Level 5 still didn't unlock any new functions, only adding one more carriage.
Qi Xiao checked the refreshed Train modifications.
"Loudspeaker: Adds Train loudspeaker function (1 Train coin)"
"Dreamy Purple: Change carriage color to dreamy purple (1 Train coin)"
"Treasure Hunter (Account-bound): Increases the probability of heading to stations with treasure chests (100 train coins)"
Holy cow, a modification for one hundred train coins!
It said it increased the probability of heading to stations with treasure chests, but it didn't specify how much it increased, and they dared to ask for one hundred train coins for just that?
He only had fifteen train coins, nowhere near enough.
How long would it take to save up for that?
As for the loudspeaker and changing the carriage color, Qi Xiao didn't even consider them.
Qi Xiao waved his hand to close the light screen and burrowed into the wool blanket.
It was late, and Black Wind Monster was already asleep, curled up by the edge of the blanket.
......
Morning, seven fifty, the Train stopped at Huangshatan.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof."
Black Wind Monster paced back and forth at the initial carriage door.
"Good dog, wait a moment," Qi Xiao said as he pulled on his T-shirt and came to the initial carriage. "Open the door!"
Qi Xiao shouted, and the carriage door opened.
As soon as the door opened, Black Wind Monster ran out to relieve himself.
After a few days of training, Black Wind Monster already knew to go outside the carriage to use the bathroom.
The place they stopped today was a Gobi Desert. After Qi Xiao threw away the trash, he put his hands on his hips and looked into the distance.
The yellow Gobi Desert stretched endlessly, with an occasional gust of wind kicking up dust.
The first stop after the internship period ended had no danger, but also no resources.
At twelve o'clock, the Train started moving.
Now, the bathroom's water level gauge showed one hundred fifty liters of stored water.
It would take a long time to fill three tons.
Fortunately, he had infinite water, so filling it was just a matter of time.
The water problem was solved; drinking water and daily living water were both covered.
Having solved the drinking problem, he still needed to solve the eating problem.
After eating roasted duck and roasted potatoes yesterday, instant noodles and bread were no longer appealing to Qi Xiao.
He needed to find a way to cook; hot food always tasted better.
