Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 5 Manufacturing Table Fragments
Perhaps it was a final outburst before her death, but Song Churou stabbed him extremely deeply.

Xu Tian's eyes were filled with fear of death. He desperately reached out to Jiang Ran for help: "Ranran, please save Daddy! Please, save me! I don't want to die, I haven't lived enough yet, please save me..."

"You unfilial and disobedient bastard! How could you watch your own family die?! You beast! No, Ranran, my dear daughter, Daddy spoiled you the most when you were little, how could you be so heartless..."

What's more terrifying than dying is watching your life slip away helplessly.

Xu Tian didn't have much life points left to begin with, and after his body weakened to a certain extent, the remaining life points quickly dropped to zero.

He cried and laughed, pleading and cursing, but Jiang Ran just stood there coldly watching him.

Just like in the previous life, his family coldly watched Jiang Ran eke out a living in the last-class carriage, where the evil of human nature was magnified infinitely.

They would rather use 500 life points to locate Jiang Ran to watch a play than buy her a B-class train ticket.

Even if all this money and supplies were swindled from Jiang Ran!

Xu Tian's eyes finally dimmed.

Although it's a game, the player's body doesn't disappear after death. So in the previous life, players driven to desperation by hunger also turned on their own kind.

Jiang Ran wasn't too happy to see the two dead. Just like Xu Tian said, he had ultimately "spouted" Jiang Ran, even if it was just an act. At least Jiang Ran's childhood was indeed very happy.

But from that moment on, Jiang Ran had no weaknesses. She would become her own strongest armor and strive to live until the train reached its destination.

The game thoughtfully includes a one-click ash mode, which requires only 2 lives to put two people into separate boxes.

Jiang Ran dug a deeper hole in the mountain wall and put the two boxes inside, which could be considered as doing her best.

Because of Xu Tian and Song Churou's appearance, Jiang Ran no longer believed that there were no other players in the mountain and became more cautious.

But I didn't run into anyone else after that.

She made her way through many twists and turns to the center of the mountain.

The space inside the mountain is vast, and you can even see a small patch of sky when you look up.

The surrounding mountain walls were dotted with caves, and Jiang Ran stood at the entrance of one of the caves, looking down.

At the bottom is bright red lava, relatively calm, occasionally sparked by falling rocks.

The lava contained many stone pillars of varying heights, and rising air, carrying waves of heat, swirled upwards. Jiang Ran's hair was soaked with sweat after observing for only a short while.

Having carefully planned the route, Jiang Ran moved cautiously among the stone pillars until she stopped on a thick stone pillar of medium height. Only then did she take out the Ultimate Sturdy Telescopic Fishing Net she had bought from the shop, which also cost 100 health points.

It is not only resistant to heat and cold, but is also said to be able to resist corrosion.

Jiang Ran extended the net further and began to retrieve the items from the lava.

A moment later, I felt a weight in my hand!
Jiang Ran immediately lifted the net, only to find that it wasn't a treasure chest, but a large black rock. If Jiang Ran hadn't been strong, she probably wouldn't have been able to retrieve it.

Once the temperature dropped, Jiang Ran picked up the stone.

[Mysterious Ore: Heat-resistant, appears to be usable for crafting weapons (requires a crafting table and weapon blueprints).]

It is indeed very heat-resistant; it didn't turn red even after being soaked in lava for so long.

Although she doesn't need it right now, Jiang Ran is still quite happy; any gain is a good thing.

Keep fishing!
Jiang Ran spent three hours salvaging the ore and found four wooden treasure chests, one bronze treasure chest, and one silver treasure chest.

Looking at the undamaged wooden box pulled from the lava, Jiang Ran thought it made perfect sense.

She decided it wasn't appropriate to open the chests on the stone pillars, so she put them all in her backpack for now and would open them when she got back.

The temperature inside the mountain was too high; Jiang Ran was practically drenched in sweat, her clothes soaked with salt. Even constantly replenishing her fluids with diluted salt water couldn't withstand such heat. She put away her net and returned to the cave she had dug earlier.

After sitting on the ground, drinking a bottle of electrolyte water, and resting for a while, Jiang Ran took out the box she had obtained earlier and started opening it, beginning with the wooden box.

Perhaps the first stop is considered a beginner's level, so just like in the previous life, there aren't many dangerous creatures in the treasure chests, and they aren't difficult to deal with.

Three of the four wooden boxes contained water and bread, while the bronze box contained an iron nail and four planks.

There was another wooden crate with no supplies, only a thing that looked like a starfish.

Its entire body is covered in mouths, and the tiny, closely spaced sharp teeth inside its open mouths are enough to make your scalp tingle. If you get bitten, a large chunk of flesh will fall off.

Jiang Ran had learned her lesson in her previous life because these things climb incredibly fast, leaping onto people's legs as soon as they came out of the box.

Jiang Ran can easily solve it now.

The final silver treasure chest surprised her.

Congratulations! You have obtained 1 Crafting Table Fragment.

Although 65 more fragments are needed to synthesize it, having a direction and a goal means there will always be a way, and the abundance of resources gives Jiang Ran a calm mindset.

After putting the safe house back in place, Jiang Ran, who had been busy all day, was also hungry. She took a shower and prepared to eat.

What should we eat? The lava just now looked strangely like spicy soup, so let's have hot pot.

She happily took out a hot pot of beans and rice, ladled out a bowl of rice, poured a spoonful of appetizing broth over it, and ate it with a cold drink.

It was already 12:30 pm, and in addition to complaints about the heat and thirst, there were quite a few people in the chat room saying they were hungry.

Although many people opened the crates, most of them were wooden crates, and the supplies inside were meager, including only a small amount of food and some scraps of cloth, bricks, and other things that were not currently of use.

The silver treasure chest will start to contain simple items and various fragments.

But unless they are in a hurry to exchange for survival supplies like that little spinning top, they are reluctant to take them out easily.

Jiang Ran ate while carefully browsing the transaction information.

Right now, everyone's health is limited, and supplies are extremely scarce, which also means it's easier to scavenge for loot.

After all, when someone is starving, suffering from heatstroke, or injured, water and medicine are naturally more precious than items that are not needed at the moment.

such as--

"I got five crafting table fragments from the box. I'll only exchange them for food and water. Private message me if you want them."

Jiang Ran's eyes lit up, and she immediately added the person as a friend.

Whirlwind Slash: "Ten bottles of water, enough for three meals."

Before Jiang Ran could answer, he added, "If there's heatstroke medicine, we can reduce the amount of other things."

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and tried to initiate a transaction, placing only three bottles of mineral water and two vials of Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid in the halo.

I thought the other party would try to negotiate the price, but the transaction was completed in the blink of an eye.

That makes sense. Heatstroke can be avoided by hiding in a cave, but dehydration and heatstroke caused by the ubiquitous heat are the most deadly.

The Whirlwind Slash was just too exhilarating, making Jiang Ran inexplicably feel like she'd gotten the short end of the stick...

The setting is: taking a hit results in a small amount of health loss, which only decreases rapidly when life is threatened. However, if it is a fatal wound, the health will drop to zero in an instant.
