In the dense forest, sunlight streamed down, forming circular patches of light on the ground.
Qi Xiao wiped his sweat and checked his watch.
It was almost time.
"Anchor Point Retrospection!"
A flash of white light enveloped Qi Xiao, and he was rewound from the forest to the front of the Train.
He threw all the cut branches into the feeding area, collecting a total of 210 kilograms of wood.
Three days had passed since he returned from Dawn City, and Xia Yuwan hadn't reappeared during this time.
This made Qi Xiao feel a little relieved.
It seemed she had indeed left Newbie Village.
How unlucky! After encountering them, they had three consecutive stops in desolate wildernesses, not only lacking resources but, more importantly, having no treasure chests.
They were truly a jinx, making me, the Treasure Hunter, dry up completely.
However, what was interesting was that Xi Jian actually docked at Extreme Ice Lake yesterday.
Although they didn't get a treasure chest in the end, it did prove one thing: treasure chests refresh.
Since treasure chests refresh, why would Xia Yuwan and her group still seek him out?
Could it be that silver coins don't refresh?
After cleaning the wild chicken he had just hunted, Qi Xiao began to prepare lunch.
Roast chicken, paired with roasted peas, roasted corn, and mushroom cream soup.
The after-meal fruit was watermelon.
Eating delicious food, Xi Jian's gloom from not opening a treasure chest was swept away.
After lunch, Qi Xiao continued to roast pumpkins for sale.
In three days, he had traded 120 roasted pumpkins.
All the large piles of pumpkin pulp he dug out were put into the automatic composting bin, but they only produced a small handful of magical multi-purpose fertilizer.
The yield was pitifully low.
He traded for 900 kilograms of metal and 300 kilograms of plastic, enough to upgrade one level.
Metal: 600 kg / 1120 kg
Plastic: 300 kg / 445.5 kg
Wood: 200 kg / 211 kg
train coins: 10 / 0
After throwing ten train coins into the feeding area, Qi Xiao clicked upgrade.
Level 11!
Obtained one ordinary carriage.
No other new functions were unlocked.
Qi Xiao checked the refreshed modification projects.
"Free Your Hands: Obtain a Train-specific drum washing machine, heat pump dryer, and a hidden external water tank (6 train coins)."
"Relax: Obtain a Train-specific fully automatic massage chair (3 train coins)."
"Electric Flash: Obtain a Train-specific motorcycle, with a driver's license included (8 train coins)."
What kind of divine motorcycle is this, costing eight train coins?
Can it really run as fast as electricity?
Although it's expensive, having a mode of transport would expand the exploration range in the future.
For the motorcycle, he could choose the color configuration, and Qi Xiao hesitated for a long time between red and green.
Ultimately, Qi Xiao still chose red.
A sleek, brightly colored red motorcycle appeared in the carriage.
On the seat lay a driver's license with Qi Xiao's photo and a helmet.
Qi Xiao casually put the driver's license into his jie bracelet, swung his leg over, and got on the motorcycle.
Although he was in the carriage, he could already imagine the feeling of soaring through the wind.
After Qi Xiao entered his fingerprint and voiceprint, this motorcycle could now only be started when he unlocked it.
Wait, is this a coin slot?
This motorcycle actually consumes train coins?
It doesn't run on gas, it runs on coins!
Qi Xiao immediately felt cheated.
You'd better make one Train coin last a year.
Washing machine, dryer? And an external water tank, this modification is also good.
The external water tank must be given some respect.
And the fully automatic massage chair, besides being a bit expensive, there's nothing wrong with it.
Every time he finished running in the gravity carriage and hammering Ruhu, his back would ache and his legs would cramp.
Massage chair, must be arranged.
He wasn't short on money.
With a grand wave of his hand, Qi Xiao invested another nine train coins.
After moving the water and instant noodles from the fourth carriage, Qi Xiao modified the washing machine to be opposite the bathroom.
He obtained the fourth external water tank, bringing the maximum water storage capacity to twelve tons.
The massage chair was placed in the bedroom.
Qi Xiao sat on the massage chair and selected the top-tier 'real person' mode.
A tingling sensation, as if countless soft little hands were moving over Qi Xiao's body, caressing, kneading, pounding...
The fatigue from the past few days of training and the daytime tree cutting quickly vanished.
Qi Xiao twisted his neck and shoulders; this 'real person' mode was indeed comfortable.
He summoned the light screen and checked the next day's stop.
"This stop: Five Elements Mountain (Single-player Station)."
"Sun Wukong is suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, no danger. (Note: The seal suppressing Sun Wukong can only be removed by Tang Sanzang. Sun Wukong has not had a drop of water for hundreds of years; giving him food can greatly increase his favorability.)"
"There is an Eight-level Treasure Chest under Sun Wukong. Can open: 500 train coins, three life-saving hairs, 1 module card."
Holy cow, Monkey King?
An Eight-level Treasure Chest, oh my goodness.
How many train coins?
One zero, two zeros, five hundred!
Five hundred! Oh my God!
Treasure Hunter, you rested for three days, turns out you were holding back for something big!
Let me think, what should I prepare?
Qi Xiao opened the chat room and sent a few messages.
...
"Great Sage, Great Sage! My Great Sage, Equal to Heaven!"
At the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Qi Xiao shouted Sun Wukong's name loudly.
"Damn it, where is Monkey King suppressed exactly?"
Qi Xiao's throat was about to go hoarse; if this didn't work, he'd have to use that move.
...
Sun Wukong no longer knew how long he had been suppressed here.
Didn't the Bodhisattva say someone would come to release me? Where are they?
I'm about to fall asleep waiting.
In a daze, Sun Wukong heard someone calling out the three words he hated the most.
He bared his fangs and raised his head:
"I am the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong! Who's calling me 'Bi Ma Wen'?! Who?!"
Soon, a figure pounced in front of him:
"My Great Sage, I finally found you."
Influenced by the TV shows he watched as a child, Qi Xiao initially looked at the bottom of tall mountains.
What he didn't expect was that Monkey King was suppressed under a small mound that looked like a grave.
A seal was affixed to the mound.
Monkey King's head was exposed in front, and his butt was exposed behind, looking extremely undignified.
"Was it you who just called me Bi Ma Wen?"
"Who? Who dares to be so rude to me, the Handsome Monkey King of Water Curtain Cave, the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!"
"I'll be the first to not let him off!"
"Oh~ you recognize me."
"Great Sage, your renown is known to all, by everyone."
Monkey King nodded, very pleased after being flattered.
"Unfortunately, you are not the person the Bodhisattva said could release me."
"Great Sage, I can try."
Qi Xiao reached out, preparing to peel off the seal on the mound.
Hmm? Can't pull it off?
He gritted his teeth, braced his feet against the mound, and pulled down with force.
His face turned crimson, but the seal didn't budge.
It was clearly just a small seal, and it looked as if a gust of wind could easily blow it away.
Indeed, only Tang Sanzang can remove it, it seems.
"It's no use, Great Sage, I can't remove this thing."
Qi Xiao wiped his sweat, speaking breathlessly.
This treasure chest isn't that easy to get.
"It's not your fault. When I, Old Sun, get out, I'll smash the fleshy lump on the Buddha's head!"
Grumble...
"Great Sage, what's that sound? Your stomach growled."
"Since I've been suppressed here, I haven't eaten anything."
"Great Sage, look!"
Qi Xiao had already prepared; he had brought a pile of food in his jie bracelet.
"What is this, so cool and refreshing, delicious, delicious!"
"Burp~ and it can let out gas, this little black water is interesting, interesting!"
"Oh oh! Spicy, delicious, so delicious!"
"Great Sage, stop eating spicy strips, come, have this!"
Qi Xiao pulled out a fried chicken, still steaming hot.
