Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

This journey through the void lasted for 7 days. Based on the increase in duration of the last journey, Su Li had originally guessed that it would take about ten days. It seems that in the void, 'distance' is not just a unit of length as he had thought.

The train was picked up by Blue Star City and slowly pulled into the station. Su Li glanced at the people around her; many were walking hurriedly on the platform.

Since void travel has started taking time, everyone's exploration cycles have become staggered. Although they still spend a week exploring the world fragments, the time they need to spend in the void on their return journey varies.

Of course, another change is that the rest time at the platform can be extended. Players can spend contribution points to extend the rest time, up to a maximum of 7 days.

These features were originally unlocked after a civilization passed the initial selection. However, the Blue Star civilization successfully revived itself in the morgue, skipping the initial selection and entering the official version, thus unlocking these features ahead of schedule.

Su Li and the others didn't really need to rest; they had already rested enough while traveling through the void.

Su Li opened the car door and took a deep breath.

This sweet, natural air, belonging to Earth, is something I haven't felt in so long.

"Everyone, if there's anything you want to do, hurry up and do it. We won't extend your rest time; we'll depart on time." Su Li said without turning her head, "I'll go find the Blue Star government personnel to hand over the rewards first."

The group went their separate ways.

After a period of construction, Blue Star City now has some shops. All shops in Blue Star City are currently regulated by the Blue Star government, and the purchase of various items is limited.

Zuli used the temple's teleportation to arrive at the Blue Star government's office hall, where people had been waiting for some time.

After a period of negotiation, Su Li received a reward that satisfied him.

First, regarding the train, the locomotive will be upgraded to level 5 for free. The carriages will also be upgraded to premium carriages for free. The premium carriages are equivalent to level 5 locomotives.

Several detailed modifications were also made to the interior of the train.

In addition to these, Zurich also received a batch of supplies.

5000 units each of timber and stone, and 2000, 2000, 500, and 300 units of iron ingots, copper ingots, silver ingots, and gold ingots, respectively.

Five elemental fragments, 500 of each. 1000 units of lower-grade magic energy crystals.

Blue Star City is in dire need of construction materials, and providing so many demonstrates their sincerity. This quantity is even greater than what Su Li had before selling off his assets.

Furthermore, Su Li's need for these basic resources isn't actually that great. At his level, he starts to require various rare equipment, knowledge, and blueprints.

Next comes the main event.

Firstly, regarding skill books, each of Su Li and her companions can directly rent two skill books.

This delighted Zuli, who had seen a great skill but was unable to borrow it.

When the Blue Star Library was first established, there were very few excellent skills available; some skill books were even unique, with only one copy available. To borrow one, one had to wait in a very long line.

With this condition, you can cut in line.

Then there was the equipment; they simply gave Ivan a new set of equipment since he didn't have any good gear.

[Glimmer Armor: Upper Body - Increases magic and physical resistance]

[Glowing Bottoms: Lower garment, enhances resistance to abnormal status effects]

【Glimmering Boots: Boots that slightly reduce damage taken when a defense is successful】

[Glowing Gauntlets: Armguards, enhances the intensity of dizziness and unconsciousness]

[Dim Helmet: Headgear, enhances resistance to mental disorders]

[Set Bonus: Glimmer (2/5): Activate by collecting two Glimmer sets, enhancing the effects of all Light attribute skills]

【Baptism of Light (5/5): Activated by collecting five sets of the Glimmering Set. Instantly removes any Black Iron-level control effects from the user. Cooldown: 24 hours】

This set of equipment is much more suitable for Ivan as a guardian than his previous equipment, and the skills are also very compatible with Ivan's Star Knight class.

Next came some drawings.

Sophia received a set of secret recipe blueprints and the ingredients for 100 servings. Song Mingyu received several potion blueprints, but unfortunately, the various medicinal herbs were still in the breeding stage and hadn't been given to them. Ivan received numerous ordinary equipment blueprints. Su Li received some basic processing blueprints for materials.

Many of these things are things you can't buy outside.

Finally, Su Li received some Blue Star Coins.

This is the currency issued after the establishment of the Blue Star government. Currently, Survival Coins are in short supply. It's impractical to expect all the residents of Blue Star City who have given up their player identities to use Survival Coins. It's best to use Survival Coins to utilize various system facilities. For daily life, regular currency is sufficient.

Players can also exchange various materials and Survival Coins for Blue Star Coins.

Having obtained these items, Zurich enthusiastically drove the train to the factory for modifications.

Tonight, their team won't sleep on the train; they'll stay in the temporary dormitories provided by the Blue Star government.

After sending a message to her teammates explaining the situation and distributing some Blue Star Coins to each of them, Su Li closed the manual and began to inventory the supplies.

"Okay, I understand." Sophia closed the manual and put it into her inventory.

Then she continued picking and choosing from the stall. "Garlic, onions, scallions, green onions, and ginger. Hmm, that'll do. Oh, and please pack the soy sauce I just picked out for me too."

"Wow, you really know how to pick garlic! You've chosen garlic that was just picked today." The woman selling garlic praised Sophia as she deftly packed the garlic for her. "But you bought a bit too much, exceeding the single-person limit. Can I see your team's page? I need to make sure no one is hoarding or buying indiscriminately."

Sofia was taken aback by these words, then nodded. "I see. I understand."

After saying that, he opened his manual and showed the old lady the team interface.

The squad interface doesn't show details; it only displays physical status, name, and an avatar, revealing very little information.

"Okay, here's your stuff, totaling xx yuan."

After Sofia paid, she received a sack containing the items she had just purchased.

The inventory is very rigid; each of these seasonings takes up a separate slot, so Sophia chooses to carry them in her hand.

Sofia looked around at the shops and felt as if she had returned to a small town on Earth. However, the variety of goods sold here was very limited; they were mostly food and water.

In this situation, the only priority is to fill our stomachs. Sofia glanced at the old woman selling spices. The old woman looked pale and sickly, clearly having been hungry for a long time and not yet recovered.

But everything is getting better. A lot of food has been planted, and once it's harvested, we won't have to live so frugally anymore.

The old woman wiped her dirt-covered hands with her apron and said to Sophia with a happy expression, "Judging from your purchase of these ingredients, you must be planning to make... you know, secret recipes, right? Ordinary players wouldn't be willing to spend so much money on seasonings to improve their meals. These seasonings are expensive!"

“My son said that those who know how to use secret recipes are all skilled players. This shop was opened specifically for you by the government.”

"We're no longer capable, so all we can do is farm here, do some insignificant things, and provide you with some support from behind."

At this point, the old woman became a little downcast. "We're no longer useful. The future depends entirely on you. So be careful when you go out to explore. Survival is the most important thing. If things look bad, we'll run. As long as we don't die, we'll eventually be able to wipe out all those GRDs."

“We will.” Sophia nodded, pursed her lips, picked up the groceries she had bought, and left.
