Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Upon opening the safe, Su Li sensed that it contained 100 compartments, only a few of which were full.

The first thing that catches the eye is a series of materials. One slot contains indigo-colored metal ingots, and another contains copper-colored metal.

[Shandong Copper: 112]

[Biosteel: 71]

Besides these metals, the remaining metal ingots are palladium and 7-degree gold.

"Isn't this a metal that comes after Seven Degrees Gold and Palladium?" Su Li was somewhat surprised. He wasn't surprised that Tang Sheng had this metal, but that Tang Sheng had put it in a safe.

列车lv7升8，lv8升9，需要钛锭和铂金锭，lv9到lv10，lv10升11都需要钯金和七度金

To upgrade from level 11, you'll need Orichalcum and Jadeite.

This train is level 11, and upgrading it requires oresite and jasper.

"It seems Tang Sheng isn't doing so well. Those disgusting guys stopped helping these beasts after they helped them reach level 11."

Orichalcum and lapis lazuli can only be found in worlds with an energy level of 2.5 or higher, where gold-level energy is no longer rare.

Tang Sheng's abilities are insufficient to survive in this kind of world.

However, it's a bit of a shame that palladium and 7-degree gold have to be kept in a safe.

After glancing past the metal ingots, Su Li's gaze fell upon the props behind them.

His eyes lit up at that sight. "Gold-grade equipment?!"

There are three pieces of gold-tier equipment here: a swift sword, a gauntlet, and a long-handled axe.

The attributes are all pretty good, reaching the average level of gold-grade equipment, but no one in the team can use them.

Su Li guessed, "Tang Sheng himself doesn't need these things. He's probably hoarding them to trade with others."

This type of rare equipment has a low drop rate and is not widely used, so its price is slightly lower on the trading market.

"Take it, and then trade it with other players."

Su Li has several friends who play with fists.

After checking the three pieces of equipment, only three items remained in the space.

One of them should be equipment.

Zuli examined the device.

[Pre-made Secret Recipe Maker]

【equipment】

[Preparation of Nutritional Paste: Place a sample of the secret food into the paste, providing sufficient substances and energy to retain its effects, and then create a nutritional paste.]

[Secret Food Analysis: The samples of the secret food added can be analyzed and modified using technological means to create a nutritional paste formula.]

Su Li raised an eyebrow. Goodness, they're doing pre-made food here too?

Su Li took out the prop and started fiddling with it.

The device is cylindrical with an electronic screen at the front; it's clearly a technological product.

Su Li tapped on the electronic screen and entered the control interface.

Welcome to our pre-made secret meal maker!

【1. Analysis of Secret Foods】

[2. Manufacturing the nutritional paste]

Su Li opened the nutrient paste crafting interface and found approximately 30 secret food nutrient pastes stored inside. All of these nutrient pastes were of the Black Iron grade.

Su Li casually opened a recipe for "White Pepper and Red Sauce Cream Stew" to check the recipe.

The display screen shows the recipe for this secret dish: one part black iron-grade water-attribute plant material, one-fifth of a fire element shard, and one-tenth of a wood element shard. To retain the flavor, you can add chili peppers, salt, or other flavorings.

These materials were in the warehouse. Su Li gathered the materials, added magic crystals as energy, and clicked to start.

The machine immediately started operating, and a large amount of viscous, gelatinous substance appeared inside the transparent cylindrical glass. It was compressed and deformed, eventually forming a food the size of a Snickers bar.

Next, the food was retrieved from the shipping outlet, and Su Li took it to check its attributes.

[Black Iron Grade Sensory Enhancement Nutritional Paste]

The effect is almost the same as a Black Iron-level perception-type secret food.

Su Li put the nutritional paste in her mouth, chewed it, and almost spat it out.

The taste of this stuff is very complicated, a mixture of earthy and raw material flavors, which is very unpalatable, and the texture is sticky like eating glue.

However, Su Li did not deny the value of this thing.

"This stuff is pretty good. It's definitely a great item for players who don't have a Secret Food Chef in their team. The texture and flavor can be improved by adding flavorings."

Throughout the game, there are many ways to increase attributes, such as secret foods, mechanical stimulation, genetic modification, musical resonance, alchemical potions, and so on. Among them, secret foods are renowned for their craftsmanship. Low-level secret foods are relatively easy to make, but high-level secret foods require the mystical element of "culinary heart."

Therefore, the scope and effects of the Secret Food are the best, and it is also the most enjoyable. This has led many people to try to crack the Secret Food and integrate it into their own systems.

This device is clearly an attempt by mechanical game enthusiasts to recreate Secret Recipes.

Basic secret recipes, without the involvement of a chef, are relatively easy to replicate.

"I wonder if there are any higher-level versions of this machine."

The world is vast and full of wonders; even the secrets of cooking may not be unsolvable.

For example, create an artificial soul, use mind-based magic to give it a culinary heart, and then use it as a mechanical, intelligent puppet to cook.

It might be a bit too expensive, but it's still a viable option.

Su Li put the device away. It was quite good; a major problem with Secret Recipes was its time-consuming nature. Most of the time, chefs could only prepare it by hand. With this device, Sophia could develop some temporary enhancement tools to allow the machine to process the food. Whether she sold it or used it herself, it would be quite useful.

After putting away the equipment, Su Li looked at the remaining two props.

Both of these props are books.

Su Li took them out and glanced at the two books.

Upon seeing the name, Su Li was overjoyed.

Advanced Elemental Theory!

Medium-grade special metal formulation

The theory of elements! The theory of elements again!

Su Li hadn't forgotten that the biggest contributor to her team's ability to distance themselves from other players was the book on basic elements they had obtained.

They've now reached the Silver rank and are rapidly progressing towards the Gold rank. They've almost completely mastered the basic elemental theory. After all, this is just the foundation, corresponding to the Iron and Silver ranks.

Advanced elemental theory corresponds to the Gold level, and advanced elemental theory corresponds to the Legendary level. Beyond that, one must comprehend it through personal experience.

Su Li was extremely excited and wanted to read the book right away. However, he was very curious about just how powerful this advanced theory of elements really was.

Using the system to assess the effects of skill point allocation on players can provide a more intuitive understanding of strengths and weaknesses.

Su Li cast her appraisal spell on the book.

The next second, the feedback from the identification technique arrived.

[Advanced Elemental Theory Manuscript]

Su Li froze.
