Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

With the last member breaking through to the Silver rank, the strength of Su Li and his entire team underwent a qualitative leap. Everyone's abilities were greatly enhanced, especially Su Li's Eclipse skill, whose temperature doubled, reaching an astonishing 12 degrees Celsius. This temperature was enough to instantly reduce most creatures to ashes; of course, if the opponent's fire resistance was high enough, they might be able to barely withstand it.

Magical power, isn't that amazing?

After the upgrade was completed, Zurich and his entourage couldn't wait to tour the upgraded train.

Don't forget, this upgrade wasn't just about improving the train itself; they also personally participated in creating a miniature world.

At the end of the ritual space, Zuli learned that placing the small world would require five room slots on the train. So, he made some minor adjustments to the train.

Zuli and his group first went to see the modified front of the car.

The upgraded train locomotive has been changed from the original steam locomotive to the oil-fired locomotive that Zuli saw when he was a child, and the overall style is more modern.

The space at the front of the vehicle has also been increased, expanding the original 20-meter operating space to 25 meters.

The layout of the front of the vehicle, from front to back, consists of an entertainment room, a kitchen, a 10-meter-long combat room, and a newly added energy room.

Zuli and his group first entered the recreation room, where they usually eat, do activities, and take turns on duty.

After the upgrade, the front of the train is no longer a boiler, but a huge windshield through which the outside scenery can be clearly seen. An electronic control panel has also been added at the very front, making train operation more modern and eliminating the need to manually pull the handbrake or push the control lever.

The train also features a new track-changing function, allowing users to alter the track by consuming civilization energy or resources. Minor track changes are inexpensive, but frequent changes lead to escalating costs. Worse still, this isn't a linear function, but a curvilinear one, potentially resulting in astronomical costs.

Fortunately, as long as you don't make frequent changes, the consumption will reset to zero after each exploration cycle ends.

The newly added energy chamber is the train's power core, housing a large power unit specifically designed for burning various types of fuel. After upgrading to level 6, the train no longer burns wood, but instead uses diesel, heavy fuel oil, or aviation fuel.

The energy chamber is also equipped with three large batteries, which can store a total of 300 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Su Li had no idea who designed this thing; with the batteries and engine placed together, it felt like a single spark could blow them all into the sky.

There is also space reserved inside for installing a generator.

With these 300 kilowatt-hours of electricity, the train has truly entered the electrical age, and there's no longer a need to be stingy with electricity usage.

Once the power is unlocked, some skilled players can even set up production lines on the train to continuously produce ammunition and other supplies.

Zuli heard that a player in the Alchemist Guild had designed an alchemy production line, using electricity, robotic arms, and soul puppets to mass-produce healing potions. The recent significant price drop for basic healing potions was partly due to this guy's work.

Next, Su Li and the others entered the first carriage, the living quarters carriage. This carriage had been almost completely changed, except that the life support room had been moved to the second floor.

Then comes the second carriage, the production carriage.

Su Li and the others went straight up to the second floor.

The second floor used to be a planting room and a breeding room, but those have all disappeared.

The second floor has only one door besides the hallway.

After opening the door, go inside.

One second they were walking on solid wood flooring, the next second their feet were on damp mud.

"Wow, is this our little world?" Sun Lili couldn't wait and ran to the distance, "Hey~"

Then I listened carefully, but unfortunately I didn't hear any echo.

“Yes, although it’s still very desolate now, it’s full of endless possibilities.” Su Li nodded, her gaze sweeping over the land, a surge of indescribable excitement welling up inside her.

Zurich gazed into the distance and saw the edge of the world in the distance.

“Let’s split up and investigate,” Su Li said.

The group dispersed, each exploring the world using their own methods.

Soon, the crowd gathered together.

Sophia spoke first, “This world is a flat world with a round sky. The land is an island with a radius of 8 kilometers, and the outer edge is water for 2 kilometers. Beyond that is the boundary of the world. The level of magic energy is not low, stronger than a world with 0.9 magic energy. The world membrane that I helped build can continuously draw energy from the void, and after passing through the Five Elements Foundation, it is converted into free magic energy that can be absorbed.”

Su Li continued, "The sun and moon in the sky are real and true, and their rotation takes 24 hours."

Then it was Ivan's turn. "The starry sky is real too. We can draw upon its power. Furthermore, I've discovered tiny mineral veins in this world that regularly produce various materials. So far, I've only found four: gold, silver, copper, and iron. There are also some magic energy fragments. I suggest we don't develop them for now, to avoid damaging the veins."

Song Mingyu said, "The magical crops we planted and the animals we raised are all here. There's some bad news: the soil here is still ordinary soil. The planting boxes made by the system can be directly integrated into the earth to form a one-square-meter planting field. In the planting field, the crops can still enjoy the rapid growth they used to have."

“Although this place is desolate, it is full of potential,” Song Mingyu said in a low voice. “I can plant plants here and create a complete ecosystem.”

She crouched down, placed her palms on the ground, and felt the warmth of the soil. An image of a lush forest, a winding river, and birdsong filled her mind.

There's not much to say about Sun Lili and Sun Keke; their cases involve matters of the soul, and it's impossible to determine their identities in a short time.

"It's amazing, I never imagined I could create a world." Sun Keke's tone was full of emotion. "We are clearly sea lions of the Black Iron level."

Su Li smiled slightly and analyzed, "We only contributed a little bit of effort. The real contribution came from the blessings of the gods and the crystallization of the world's power."

Creating a small world already involves the legendary level. Zu Li and his group simply don't meet the minimum standard.

This time, the main reason is that they possess a large quantity of the incredibly valuable item, the World Power Crystallization. Everything that happened is based on this item.

In this small world, the props accounted for 60% of the effort, the blessings of the gods accounted for 39%, and Su Li and his group only accounted for 1% of the credit.

However, they gained considerable benefits, participating in the creation of a complete small world, and even personally operating the creation process under the guidance of a deity. The foundation gained from this opportunity was enough to allow Su Li and his companions to smoothly upgrade to the Gold level.

The blessings from the gods can never be fully repaid!

Suddenly, Sun Lili thought of a big problem: "This little world is attached to the train, so if the carriage is destroyed, will our little world also disappear?"

Su Li shook her head. "No, as the train conductor, I received a notification from the system. This small world exists within our system; the train is just the entrance. Even if the carriage is destroyed, the small world will remain unharmed. We just need to return to the station, choose to repair it, and once the entrance is fixed, we can re-enter the small world."

Then, Su Li and the others began to discuss how to develop this world.

First, Zuli and his people need to carry out a large-scale soil replacement in this world.

Do you remember all the soil they dug up in the last world?

Those highly nutrient-rich soils, imbued with magical energy, are ideal for planting. Transforming native soil into this type of soil can significantly extend the growing season for crops.

Although it's still not as good as the planting box with the system's powerful support, it can at least reduce the crop's growth time by a quarter.

After changing the soil, Zuli and his team prepared to throw some seaweed into the water.

On Earth, although everyone says that tropical rainforests are the lungs of Earth, providing a large amount of oxygen, the real major source of oxygen is actually various algae in the seawater.

With abundant algae, not only can oxygen be provided, but the water in the small world can also gradually come to life, laying the foundation for future fish farming in the water.

Next, it's time to plant them on land.

The saplings of the lush tree we obtained earlier are perfect for planting here.

Once the lush tree has grown tall enough, it can continuously use magical energy to enhance the fertility of this small world, allowing it to enter a virtuous cycle.

Then, Su Li and her team will cultivate various magical crops on a small scale. Over the years, they have accumulated a large number of seeds. They used to feel that the planting room was not spacious enough, but now they have plenty of space to grow them.

Why is it only planted on a small scale?

That's because planting too much will drain the magical energy of this small world, which is detrimental to its growth.

It's worth mentioning that this small world essentially absorbed the planting room and the breeding room, so some of their functions were also merged. Adding more functions to these two rooms in the future will also transfer the system's power to this small world, making it a very profitable venture.

Besides planting magical crops, Su Li and his group plan to plant a large number of mulberry trees and pasture on the remaining land to feed the slimes and silkworms raised in the breeding room.

Moreover, with the small world, the space is much larger, and Zuli and the others can start to consider raising some chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep to enrich their diet.

Imagining the good days to come, Su Li kicked the wooden stake of the Supreme Mushroom.

This little thing hasn't grown at all after being planted for so long. Su Li was troubled for a long time. After reading the breeding manual, she realized that this thing needed to be treated to make the fungus inside feel the crisis and change from "developing quietly" to "Oh no, it's going to die, it needs to reproduce quickly".
