Personal information has been updated.
The amount of materials needed to upgrade to Level 3 remains unchanged, the same as for Level 2:
【Metal: 300 kg \ 185 kg】
【Plastic: 150 kg \ 0.2 kg】
【Wood: 100 kg \ 1.8 kg】
After the upgrade, the most redundant material was metal; the other two were not left with much.
Exiting his personal information, Qi Xiao checked the new module unlocked at Level 2—Train Modification.
【Modifications can be unlocked using train coins.】
【Modification options will refresh with each upgrade.】
So that's what train coins are for.
Qi Xiao looked at the three modifications.
【Flush with Joy: Obtain one Train-specific toilet (1 Train coin)】
A Train-specific toilet?
Forget it, he'd just continue using the trash can and trash bag combo for now.
He only had three train coins; he couldn't be extravagant.
【Bulletproof Glass: Initial carriage windows upgraded to bulletproof glass (2 train coins)】
After someone smashed his window last time, Qi Xiao had been living in fear.
Two train coins, he could consider it.
【Dynamic Concealment (Account Bound): The Train can blend into its surroundings, achieving invisibility or changing form. One hour of free use daily; additional time can be purchased with train coins. (8 train coins)】
Invisibility or changing form?
Wouldn't that mean he could go invisible and be a sneaky bastard when encountering crowded platforms in the future?
Unfortunately, there was only one hour of free time daily; to use it more, he'd have to spend train coins.
Account bound? Does that mean if he changes his Train later, he'll still have this modification?
Qi Xiao opened the chat room and sent a message.
【Anyone have gold coins with a Train pattern? I'll trade food and water. One 596ml bottle of mineral water for one Train coin. 596ml!】
Qi Xiao's message caused an uproar in the chat room.
【Trading for mineral water? Did I read that right? What is this Train coin? Is it more precious than water?】
【Wait, a Level 2 Big Shot? Has he really reached Level 2 so fast?!】
【It really is Level 2. I haven't even gathered half the materials needed for my current upgrade. How did he do it?】
【He must have teamed up with others, otherwise, how could he upgrade so quickly?】
【Isn't this the Father I've been looking for all this time! Dad, your child is starving and thin, please give him some food!】
【You shameless stinky man! Brother Qi Xiao, I can call you Dad too!】
Qi Xiao immediately received a pile of friend requests. He glanced at them casually but didn't accept any.
As soon as he set up ten trades of one bottle of mineral water for one Train coin, the screen immediately showed that one trade was completed.
A flash of light, and a gold coin lay quietly on the ground in the exchange area.
Qi Xiao was overjoyed, he didn't expect to trade for one so quickly!
Just then, a friend request caught Qi Xiao's attention:
“Do you have anything a girl uses during her period? I can trade train coins for it.”
This was a girl named Xi Jian.
Long hair, big eyes, looked like a person.
After accepting the friend request.
“Sanitary pads?”
“Yes.”
He hadn't expected something he'd grabbed casually to be useful so soon.
Qi Xiao pulled out a pack of pink sanitary napkins and threw them into the halo.
One Train coin obtained.
Five train coins, only three more to unlock Dynamic Concealment.
...
After lunch, Qi Xiao began organizing the materials he had 'zero-dollar shopped' today.
He worked until 8 PM, and all the materials were neatly arranged.
They were all placed in the second carriage, neatly arranged along both sides, leaving a one-meter-wide aisle in the middle.
During this time, Qi Xiao traded for another Train coin.
Just then, Xi Jian sent a message:
“Do you have any for nighttime use?”
Coincidentally, he did.
Qi Xiao pulled out another pack of purple sanitary pads and threw them into the halo.
Another Train coin obtained.
“What are train coins for?”
Xi Jian asked.
“Modifying the Train, like adding a toilet to your carriage or something.”
“Adding a toilet? Does that require a lot of train coins?”
“One.”
“One Train coin for a toilet?”
“Oh, that's not much then.”
“Rich woman?”
“No, no, just poor.”
Qi Xiao smiled and closed the private chat.
Then he checked the platform for tomorrow's stop.
【This stop: Ren Family Village (Single-person Platform)】
【There is one Ren Laotaiye zombie at this station, no danger. (Note: The zombie will awaken after 8 PM, at which point the danger level increases to Level 3.)】
【Inside the zombie's coffin, there is one Level 1 treasure chest. It can contain: 3 train coins, 1 bottle of ordinary healing potion.】
It was similar to the last treasure chest; it seemed a Level 1 treasure chest contained around three train coins.
However, there were no silver coins this time.
Zombie?
No danger during the day, so as long as he quickly found Ren Laotaiye's grave, dug out the coffin, opened the lid, and finished opening the treasure chest, he could let him do whatever he wanted at night!
Qi Xiao stroked his chin and nodded.
Digging graves, he'd need a shovel.
He opened the trading platform and searched for an entrenching tool.
A flash of light, and Qi Xiao, at great expense, traded a pack of instant noodles and a bottle of Happy Water for an entrenching tool.
Qi Xiao brandished the entrenching tool; it was quite good, very new.
With his tools for tomorrow's work prepared, Qi Xiao spread his wool blanket over his yoga mat, rested his head on a real pillow, and peacefully fell asleep.
...
The next day at 7:30 AM, Qi Xiao woke up.
He had traded for another Train coin in the early morning, now having a total of eight.
Qi Xiao continued to send messages for Train coin trades in the chat room, then refilled his trade links to ten.
For breakfast, Qi Xiao ate a pork floss bun and drank a bottle of milk.
At 8 AM, the Train arrived at the station, Ren Family Village.
This time, the Train stopped on a hillside.
Qi Xiao looked down through the window; there was a cemetery on the mountainside.
In the cemetery, a large grave was surrounded by people.
Hmm? Wasn't this a single-person platform? Where did all these people come from?
Qi Xiao recalled previous single-person platforms he had experienced; there had been no one else besides himself.
Could it be...
Qi Xiao clicked the Dynamic Concealment modification button on the screen.
Next to the screen, a section of the carriage wall recessed, revealing a coin slot.
After Qi Xiao inserted the eight train coins, they disappeared, and Dynamic Concealment was activated.
