Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After introducing his train, Zuli led the two back to the table in the square and then talked about his plans.

"Time is running out. We'll be setting off for the next world at 6 a.m. tomorrow. So we need to decide today how to use this place to upgrade our train."

Su Li first gave a brief introduction, and then said, "Take this opportunity to check out what each store sells."

Sofia nodded silently, Ivan nodded seriously, and then ran into the store to check the supplies.

Su Li checked the time; two hours later, she would have found them all.

"You've all seen it, right?" Su Li asked.

Seeing that the two nodded, Su Li continued, "Then let me share my thoughts."

Su Li explained her decision, the three of them discussed it, made some minor additions, and then began to take action.

Su Li first arrived at the factory and found the project she wanted on the self-service terminal.

First, buy one [Level 2 Train Upgrade Plug-in Recipe: 100 points].

[Level 2 Train Upgrade Plug-in Recipe: 100 Wood, 100 Stone, 50 Iron Ingots, 30 Copper Ingots, 10 Silver Ingots, 5 Fire Element Shards, 5 Water Element Shards]

Su Li had seen it in the guide; the blueprints for levels 2-6 could be obtained from Iron-level chests, but the probability was extremely low, far exceeding the gacha rates in mobile games.

Furthermore, in Black Iron chests, this blueprint has a lower priority than basic tool blueprints. You will absolutely not get this recipe until you have acquired the blueprints for the basic tools: iron hammer, axe, shovel, pickaxe, and scythe.

Therefore, no one in the entire world has reached level 2. On the one hand, it's possible to get it by opening the sixth Black Iron Chest, and Black Iron Chests are quite rare.

On the other hand, the time is too short; the game has only been running for seven days, and players haven't yet been able to search for treasure chests on a large scale.

[5t Rooftop Water Storage Device: A water storage device is installed on the roof of the vehicle, which can store 5 cubic meters, or 5 tons, of water.]

The water in the storage device will deteriorate over time; upgrading the device to improve its performance can solve the problem.

[Upgrade Requirements: Train/Car Class lv1]

[Required materials: 200 wood, 50 iron ingots, 100 stone, 50 survival coins]

There's never enough water, not just for drinking, but also for household use. Who wouldn't want a hot shower after a long day?

However, this thing has a drawback: filling it with water is quite troublesome, and the added accessories, such as the pumping device, require plastic. Zurich didn't have any of these, so they had to give up on it.

Then I went straight to the bookstore.

[Furnace blueprint: 10 points], [Hammer blueprint: 10 points], [Iron pot blueprint: 10 points] and a sword manual [Swordsmanship Basics: 100 points].

After buying these, Zuli headed straight to the store. Now that she had the planting pots, she needed to think about seeds for planting.

Potato seeds: 5 points; Tomato seeds: 5 points; Cotton seeds: 5 points; Wheat seeds: 5 points

Potatoes can be a staple food or a vegetable, and tomatoes are highly nutritious. It's said that Indians can drink Ganges water freely because they rely on tomatoes and onions. Wheat is a staple food. Cotton is for future clothing and bedding needs. Perhaps in the future, we'll have to survive in glaciers, and then we'll need thick clothing.

Of course, cotton has another use that many people wouldn't think of.

That is, making bullets.

Yes, cotton can be used to make nitrocellulose, and nitrocellulose can be used to make gunpowder.

Zuli learned this from a chemistry exam.

After securing the seeds, Su Li opened the resource selection box left over from the previous beast tide and chose 100 survival coins.

Then, at a price of 25 Survival Coins each, I bought 2 Water Elemental Shards and 4 Earth Elemental Shards on the market.

Water element fragments are used to make basic water purifiers, while earth element fragments are used to make planting boxes.

[Basic Planting Box: Soil 20, Wood 20, Earth Element Shard 1]

The Elemental Shard pawnshop offers 15 Survival Coins per shard for recycling and 50 Survival Coins per shard for purchasing. Currently, everyone is short of Survival Coins, so the purchasing power of Survival Coins in the trading market is very high.

With the purchase complete and 200 survival coins remaining, Su Li went to the training ground and selected [Basic Swordsmanship Training - 100 Survival Coins].

If you have the money, improve your capabilities first!

Su Li didn't give the survival points to his new teammates because survival points were scarce in the early game, and he had earned them all himself, so spending them himself was perfectly fine.

In the blink of an eye, Su Li disappeared from her spot and arrived at an open space.

Before him stood an instructor with a scarred face, muscular body, and an intimidating appearance.

"Haha, hello there, newbie! This opportunity was bought with money, and it's only for 3 days, every minute and every second is precious."

"Here, you won't get tired, thirsty, sleepy, or hungry, but conversely, you won't gain any strength. All you can take back are skills and muscle memory."

"Let's not delay, let's begin training. What do you want to learn? One-handed sword? Rapier?"

"I want to learn both two-handed and one-handed swordsmanship," Su Li said quickly.

"Alright, the one-handed sword technique of two-handed swordsmanship, right? Three days should be enough for you to learn the basics. Remember to train every day after you leave."

After giving some instructions, the instructor led Su Li to begin sword training in an open space.

The most basic way to hold a sword is not to grip it too tightly, but to maintain a loose grip. Under what circumstances is it more suitable to use the left hand on top to exert force, and when is it necessary to use the right hand on top?

Starting with the most basic footwork—how to move so that you can swing your sword more comfortably.

There's also the most basic aspect of generating power—how to control your strength and how to maximize the power of a move.

There are even principles for using a sword—why control your strength, why the same strike can result in a deeper cut one time and a heavier one the other, and what the textbook often refers to as the unity of sword and force, etc.

This fierce-looking instructor broke down the most basic swordsmanship principles and explained them to Su Li step by step.

Zuli has gained a deeper understanding of close combat and swordsmanship.

The two of them taught diligently, and the other learned diligently. This was the most basic thing, not in-depth. In addition, Su Li had some aptitude. After 3 days, although Su Li's practice was not enough, at least he knew how to practice correctly and how to train next.

This is the most important.

"Very good, you've learned well these past three days." The instructor patted Su Li's shoulder forcefully. "Your civilization is being watched. Life won't be very simple from now on, so you'd better live well."

Upon hearing this, Su Li was immediately startled and quickly asked, "Being watched? You mean...?"

The coach had timed it perfectly, saying these words just seconds before Su Li returned. Before Su Li could finish her question, Su Li disappeared from the space.

As the instructor watched Su Li leave, he stretched his shoulders, only to hear someone warn, "Don't talk to the trainees about trivial matters."

"Ha, I just can't stand some people who use dirty tricks," the instructor said indifferently. "If you're so capable, compete with others fairly. You lack ambition and are afraid of the rise of other civilizations, so you can only resort to underhanded methods. Ugh, disgusting!"

"But they didn't break the rules. This is just how the game is played."

"So what? I find them disgusting! I'm already dead, can't I even swear a little?"

The instructor was cursing and swearing when suddenly, another humanoid creature appeared in front of him. The instructor could only compose himself and say, "Hello, rookie!"
