Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After chatting for a while, the group tried out their new equipment.

Several pieces of equipment with long cooldown times were not tested, but the Light Sweep Pistol is one that can be tested.

Sofia fired 20 light-emitting bullets into the distance and then reported the test results.

"The rate of fire is the same as a normal pistol. The power of the light bullets is also similar to that of regular bullets, but the attack is light-attribute, which should be very useful when we deal with the Kosmon Worms. After firing 20 shots, it takes 5 seconds to replenish with magic energy, and the magic energy consumed is equivalent to 3 magic energy shots."

"Let's just treat it as a regular pistol with light attributes," Su Li concluded.

After testing the new equipment, Su Li took out the fermentation barrel she had traded yesterday.

Upon opening the fermentation tank, a stench immediately filled the air. Ivan covered his mouth and yelled at Su Li, "Brother-in-law? What are you doing?"

“Use it as bait,” Su Li said.

He closed his mask and used chopsticks to take out four pieces of greenish Kosmon worm meat from the bucket.

[Insect Bait (Dark): Thrown out, it is highly attractive to carrion birds. Especially effective against light-attribute enemies. Crafted by player Zuli]

This item is specifically designed to deal with the Lightbird and its good friend, the Mirrorbird.

Su Li opened the manual and entered the chat room.

Zurich—Homemade bait, anyone want it? [Attribute Image]

Zurich – Limited quantity, only 4 available. Extremely useful whether you want to hunt them or use them for survival.

—Huh? Has anyone used bait-type items? Are they effective?

—Of course it works! I've experienced it firsthand. When dealing with monsters that have no intelligence, just throw out this bait, and before the bait is eaten, you can wave your arms and do calisthenics in front of the monster, and it won't pay any attention to you.

—It's him again? Wasn't he the one who sold honey drinks before? What good luck, he got another great blueprint.

—It's also possible that they made it themselves. It seems that all the powerful figures in our district, except for Lin Feng, have some kind of skill.

—Hey, mind control is a skill too.

—What price range?

Zuli—People who buy bait are probably using it to deal with Lightswallow, so let's buy it using Lightswallow materials. I'll put it directly on the trading market.

Su Li listed the Light Sweep Pistol in the shop, and four baits bought four sets of materials for it. He would keep one pistol for himself, and he planned to trade the other three. He then posted the Light Sweep Pistol's attributes in the chat group.

Zuli - Magic Energy Equipment, exchange for Magic Energy Equipment Blueprints. If you want to trade, please bring a screenshot.

The chat group immediately erupted again. At this stage, any magic-based equipment in their region that's listed is instantly sold out.

The next second, Su Li's private chat exploded, instantly reaching 99+ messages. Fortunately, the manual's filtering function was very comprehensive, and Su Li directly filtered out all those without screenshots.

Then Su Li checked them one by one.

After searching for a long time, he found a very suitable drawing.

【Two-handed sword - Mountain Collapse】

[Consumables: 10 Mountain Spear-Tail Scorpion Cores, 10 Mountain Spear-Tail Scorpion Sharp Tails, 20 Mountain Spear-Tail Scorpion Blood, 10 Lower-Grade Magic Energy Crystals, 20 Gold Ingots, 5 Earth Elemental Crystals]

"Hiss~ This material consumption is more than twice that of a normal weapon. There's no mistake, this is a named weapon."

A named weapon is a weapon that has its own name. The difference between an ordinary magic weapon and a named weapon is like the difference between a fine Chinese one-handed sword and the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

Needless to say, Zuli naturally replaced the blueprint.

After switching to a Lightspeed pistol and exchanging the blueprints for the new ones, Su Li asked, "May I ask how you obtained these blueprints?"

Ren Jianhan—I killed the enhanced Kos Dream Bugs in the four cardinal directions of Carrot City, and got them from opening boxes.

Zuli—Wow, that's impressive! I almost lost after just killing one. But why don't you use these blueprints yourself?

Ren Jianhan: My wife doesn't have a suitable weapon. None of our team uses greatswords either. Besides, if it weren't for your special drink, all my wives would have been poisoned.

Ren Jianhan—my second wife, she was in Howling Valley before. If it weren't for your reminder to hide deep underground, she might already be dead.

Ren Jianhan—I accept your kindness. You're a good person. If we ever meet again, we can have a drink together.

Zurich—then I'll wait for that day.

Su Li closed the handbook, feeling a warmth and happiness in her heart. She never expected that the seed she planted would bear such a good fruit.

But then he patted his cheek, thinking, "You can't be too careful. Maybe the other person is lying to me. First, be suspicious; then be suspicious again."

After studying the blueprints, Su Li checked the market and found that materials were really hard to find. A few days ago, materials were quite cheap, but since yesterday, the price of materials has skyrocketed.

In the market, people are constantly collecting materials from various monsters, resulting in very few materials circulating in the exchange, making it difficult for Su Li to obtain loose materials using ordinary resources.

He was unaware that Lin Feng was actually behind this. He had received a recycling bin by "signing in," which could recycle monster materials, equipment, and blueprints to earn points. Once he had 10,000 points, he could obtain a level 11 upgrade plugin for the train.

Therefore, Lin Feng has been scouring the market for materials, and everyone is 'willing' to sell them to him at extremely low prices.

Not only Lin Feng, but the other cheaters also obtained similar items. They were like a greedy creature, constantly using cheap resources to plunder valuable monster materials, magic equipment, and blueprints within the channel.

Their respective areas have all undergone multiple mergers. In particular, the notification system indicates that the area where the bloodthirsty Su Xing is located will trigger at least two area mergers every cycle.

The merged areas are all areas with fewer than 10,000 survivors. These players have been selected through brutal survival challenges and can be described as a concentrated essence.

This action can be said to have invisibly reduced the survival rate of top players on Earth.

Of course, not everyone falls for it. As everyone's soul attributes increase, some people are able to resist the urge to "sell cheap to xx". Even if their attributes are not high enough, as long as they are wary of these people, it is difficult for them to fall for it.

Su Li is in a bad mood right now because he can't get any materials, so he can't continue to make magic equipment for trading.

Among these five cheating players, there is one exception.

Summoning System—Li Fan lay on the bed, enjoying the massage from the summoned beauty, feeling blissfully as if he were ascending to heaven.

His most beloved person, whom he summoned in the second world—from the super popular animated series on Earth—his beloved wife, the Eternal Princess Lilith, picked up a grape, popped it into Li Fan's mouth, and then complained, "Why haven't you activated the treasure chest yet? I don't want to stay in this train anymore. Hurry up and level up to lv11 so we can get the Magic Train. The energy level in the train is too low right now; I'm very uncomfortable."

"Don't rush, don't rush. I see those four have already reached level 10 and are preparing to reach level 11. If I also reach level 11, then there will be another system update." Li Fan spat out a grape skin. "Anyway, that leaderboard doesn't offer any benefits; it's just for show. What's the point of me trying to climb the leaderboard?"

“Maybe that leaderboard has other uses,” Lilith advised. “Besides, the sooner we level up and increase our strength, the safer we’ll be, right?”

"I have so many immortal guards, if I can't beat them I can just run away." Li Fan waved his hand dismissively. "Let's wait, I'll level up after the tenth-ranked player also reaches level 9, there's no rush for me to level up."

"My darling, turn the music up to the max! Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"

Deafening music suddenly filled Li Fan's train again, and then a moment later, some sounds that couldn't pass censorship were mixed in.
