Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After their conversation, Su Li and the others would have to face the beast tide at 8 p.m.

As usual, they built a fortress out of stone. This time, they would face a beast tide consisting of 18 wild boars, 8 brown bears, and 20 wolves.

This lineup, though numerous, lacked any monsters and was utterly powerless against Su Li and her companions.

Zuli used the Storm Crystal Sword, combined with the Magic Power Slash, to decapitate the last brown bear with a single strike.

And so, the beast tide ended.

[The beast tide has ended. You have obtained 300 Survival Coins, 1 Selectable Blueprint Boxes, and 1 Selectable Item Boxes.]

"The rewards are less than last time? Is it because we entered the same world repeatedly? Or is it because the quality of this beast tide is lower?"

Unable to get an answer, Su Li shrugged and opened the self-service box.

There wasn't much good stuff in the blueprint box, so Su Li chose the [General Gunpowder Recipe] to learn.

There wasn't anything good in the self-selection item box either. After searching for a while, Su Li finally chose 2 [Invitations to the Underworld].

Since Su Li has already used the Underworld Invitation once, she will need 5 invitations to enter the realm of the gods and choose people next time. Su Li feels that her team is not perfect enough and lacks magic attack and healing, so she has the idea of ​​adding more team members.

Instead of spending Survival Coins on the lottery, it's better to use the Underworld Invitation. After all, it's handpicked by the gods and trustworthy.

Returning to the rewards this time, not only is the quantity of the selection boxes reduced, but the quality has also deteriorated.

"This won't happen again, and you don't need to worry about getting the same blueprints. Use the blueprint selection box from last time."

Su Li finally took out the blueprint selection box from the last beast tide and chose the [Crystal Feather Serpent Leather Armor Blueprint]. Now he possessed the Crystal Feather Serpent series equipment blueprints for leather armor, lower body armor, and boots, enough to assemble a complete set.

"This journey was much easier." Su Li took out a towel and wiped the blood and grease off her crystal sword. "We're stronger now!"

"The magic power boost is incredible. I never imagined before that I could block a brown bear's attack head-on with my shield and even make it stagger." Ivan was also full of excitement.

The sharpshooter who contributed the most to this battle clenched his fist, feeling the fatigue in his arm. "My skills have improved so quickly, the bow is a little too light, I need to get a new one."

After dismembering the wild animals, the three of them took turns taking a bath.

After taking a shower and putting away the collected items, Su Li checked the results of her seven days of resource gathering.

宝石类【碎裂红宝石7】【碎裂金晶5】【碎裂黄宝石6】【碎裂蓝宝石3】【碎裂绿宝石1】

元素类【元素碎片·火/金/土/水/木：11/15/12/11/2】

Crystals: [Sharded Crystals 907, Complete Crystals 343, Lower-Grade Magic Crystals 351]

Snake Meat [485 Storm Crystal Feather Snake Meat, 261 Broken Crystal Feather Snake Head Crystals, 275 Crystal Feather Snake Fine Crystal Skin, 6 Complete Crystal Feather Snake Head Crystals, 4 Storm Crystal Feather Snake Cores]

Basic materials: [Stone 5138, Iron Ingot 4689, Copper Ingot 3132, Silver Ingot 364, Coal 2096, Wood 3962]

The remaining miscellaneous and less frequently used materials are not listed one by one, but they are definitely enough.

The only downside is that there aren't enough weeds to make many ropes.

They don't really need ropes anymore. If they really need more, they can trade for some.

As you can see, this resource-gathering trip was truly exhilarating. It's thanks to the God of Pioneers, the mining machines, and the population advantage that we were able to reap such a harvest.

Other solo players who specialize in mining will have their numbers reduced to one-fifth, or even less.

"So, the population advantage in the early stages is a truly enormous advantage! And the blessing of the God of Pioneers is really amazing," Su Li exclaimed.

With one more person, mining efficiency doubles! Even adding a child to help carry resources greatly improves efficiency. Not to mention, they have the blessing of the god of exploration, enabling them to sense the location of ore and significantly shorten the most time-consuming search phase. There's also a steam-powered mining machine that's equivalent to five people, working tirelessly.

With so much ore, Zuli built three more smelting furnaces along the way, making a total of five smelting furnaces running 24 hours a day to smelt all the ore into metal ingots.

After packing everything up, drain the water from the tank and refill it. The tank doesn't have a purification system, so the water will spoil if left out for too long.

With everything in place, Zu Li drove the train toward the portal.

The journey would take an hour, so Zuli, Sophia, and Ivan sat in the carriage, reading and waiting for the train to arrive at the portal.

After reading the introduction of a monster, Su Li stretched and noticed Sophia flipping through the book "The Fundamentals of Extraordinary Things" under the standing crystal chandelier.

For several days after the storm, the sky here remained clear and cloudless, as if it had just been washed. The bright moonlight shone through the window, enveloping Sophia and turning her golden hair into an even more elegant platinum blonde, making the girl seem as if she were shrouded in a moonlit veil, her beauty otherworldly.

Sophia's breathing became slightly erratic; the girl, who specialized in agility and perception, felt a burning gaze. The reserved girl pretended not to notice the gaze, only her slowly reddening ears betraying her shyness.

It was this touch of crimson that caused the girl to fall from the moon goddess to the mortal realm.

Su Li suddenly snapped out of that state and realized that she was staring at someone, so she quickly looked away.

But when she turned her head, she saw Ivan grinning mischievously. That sly smile made Su Li "furious" and she flicked him on the forehead. "What are you laughing at? Have you even learned Magic Charge yet?"

Seeing the furious and embarrassed Su Li, Sophia pursed her lips, a smile spreading across her face.

……

"Transit station~ I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"

Zuli shouted and ran off the train in a somewhat frantic manner. He first went to the pawnshop to sell some things, and then went straight to the factory.

"Level 3 train blueprints? Buy them!"

Survival Coins -200

[Level 3 Train Upgrade Plugin]

[Required materials: 500 wood, 500 stone, 300 iron ingots, 200 copper ingots, 50 silver ingots, 50 glass, 5 gold elemental shards, 5 water elemental shards]

"No problem, build it!" Su Li waved his hand and built one.

I glanced at the time; it would take 12 hours to build, so I'll leave it for now.

"And another thing! Carriage upgrade plugin? I bought it! Let's build it!"

Survival Coins -100

[Universal Carriage Upgrade Plug-in Blueprint: 100 Survival Coins]

[Requirements: 300 Wood, 300 Stone, 200 Iron Ingots, 100 Copper Ingots, 20 Silver Ingots, 5 Fire Elemental Shards, 5 Water Elemental Shards, Train Engine Level 2 or higher]

I checked the time again; it would take 8 hours.

"Go to sleep!" Su Li waved her hand again, and the three of them got into the car and went to sleep.

It wasn't that Su Li didn't want to use a hotel, but the expensive ones were too expensive and she felt bad about spending the money, while the cheaper ones weren't even as good as their own beds. It was better to just sleep in the room.

I woke up early the next morning, slept in a bit, and it was already past 10 o'clock. The three of us discussed what we wanted to buy, and before we knew it, it was past 12 o'clock. After we finished eating, the train upgrade plugin was ready.

Zurich immediately put the train into service.

[Your train has been upgraded to level 3, and now it has gained new features.]

[New Feature: Water Pipe Installation - Water pipes have been installed inside your train]

Combustion efficiency has been improved, and the start-up preheating time has been shortened to 2 minute.

The train speed has been increased.

The level 3 train has no changes in length or width, except that the walls have been replaced with a stronger alloy.

Su Li's assessment of it was: "It feels like it's just there to make up the numbers."

Of course, the water pipes are still quite good.

Zuli was a little disappointed that there was no newbie gift pack for this upgrade.

Su Li went inside to take a look and found that there was a water pipe layout on the train panel, which could be used to install several water outlets. The water pipes were directly connected to the water tank, so in the future, people would not have to go to the water tank to get water; they could conveniently get water from the taps inside the train.

After finishing all that, Su Li took out the universal carriage reinforcement plugin and reinforced the carriage.

The basic carriage has been upgraded to a universal carriage, enhancing its functionality.

The thermal insulation performance has been enhanced.

[The length of the carriage has been increased to 25 meters]

[Added in-vehicle storage space]
