“Damn, if you dare make those weird sounds again, I’ll have someone deal with you!” Scared.
“Sister Qing, does what you said earlier still count?” “What did I say?” “That you’d give me half of the good stuff from the treasure chest.” “I was just teasing you, and you actually believed it?” “Damn you, Xiao Qingzi!
You better hope I don’t run into you!” “Oh?
And what do you plan to do if you do?” “If I see you, I’ll just keep calling you ‘mommy, mommy’ in your ear.” “…Are you even human?” “Hey!
To be honest, it’s not that I didn’t want to reply to your message right away—it’s just that I was really in a tough spot.” Lu Xingyuan said with feigned pain.
“Tell me more.” “I ran into a Level 2 Zombie!
It chased me, so I ran; it chased me, so I ran.” “And then?” “I ran, and it chased; I ran, and it chased.” “What happened in the end?” “In the end, it died.” “Just like that?” “Not just like that!
I almost never got to see you again, Sister Qing!
It was the thought of possibly never seeing you again that gave me the strength to push through despair.
I gritted my teeth, stomped my feet, and turned around to take it down.
Even though I dealt all the damage, half the credit definitely goes to you!” “Really for real O_o??” “I’m an honest person.
Honest people are always honest—never lie, never deceive.” “Hmm, in that case, it’s understandable that you couldn’t reply to my message right away.” “It absolutely is understandable…” Before he could finish, the other party opened a trade window and directly sent over a Tier 1 Treasure Chest.
Damn, Sister Qing is awesome!
He truly hadn’t expected the other person to be so generous, just sending over the treasure chest like that.
A couple of Train Coins would’ve been enough to brush him off.
Why go to such lengths?
It’s almost embarrassing.
“Say no more, Sister Qing.
From now on, I’m your lackey.
You tell me who to cut down, and I’ll cut them down!” “You said you ran into a Level 2 Zombie.
Did you get anything from it?” “Yeah, a Tier 2 Treasure Chest.” “…Damn you!
Give my treasure chest back right now!” For a moment, Lu Xingyuan seemed to hear the sound of a certain girl’s heart breaking.
“I was just about to open this Tier 2 Treasure Chest, so I’ll use your Tier 1 Treasure Chest as a warm-up.” The chest opened, revealing 3 Train Coins and 50 rounds of Universal Ammunition.
Not bad, not bad.
Lu Xingyuan grinned.
The 3 Train Coins alone already covered the cost, not to mention the 50 rounds of Universal Ammunition.
Even though he couldn’t use the bullets himself, he could easily trade them for supplies in the exchange channel.
Ammunition like this was always in high demand.
Next up was the Tier 2 Treasure Chest.
High hopes, don’t disappoint.
Inside, three items popped out: 4 Train Coins.
20 units of rubber.
And two tubes of light blue potion.
That light blue potion looked familiar.
Sure enough, it was the Basic Gene Enhancement Potion he’d taken before!
“Can you take this stuff more than once?” Lu Xingyuan’s heart began to race.
“Down the hatch!” He pulled out the stopper, tilted his head back, and gulped it down in one go.
A familiar bitter taste instantly spread through his mouth.
Immediately afterward, a burning, fiery sensation erupted in his stomach.
A violent surge of power spread relentlessly throughout his body, madly stimulating every cell, giving him the illusion of being pummeled in the chest by a Level 2 Zombie’s “little fists”!
“Ouch, it hurts, it hurts!” Even though Lu Xingyuan had mentally prepared himself, the pain still made him twitch uncontrollably.
His whole body curled up on the floor like a boiled shrimp.
Five minutes later, the agonizing sensation gradually receded from his body, replaced by a surging sense of power.
He felt like he could punch Gu Wanqing into oblivion with one hit!
Hmm…
would saying that hurt my Qing-jie’s feelings too much?
Lu Xingyuan got up from the cold floor and moved around a bit.
Throwing a punch, he could clearly hear the whistling sound of air being torn.
Never mind, he wouldn’t even need one punch to knock her out.
“So this Basic Gene Enhancement Potion can be used repeatedly, and the boost it gives me isn’t any worse than the first time I took it.” This discovery excited Lu Xingyuan greatly because he still had one more vial in his possession.
If he drank that one too, just how much would his physical abilities be enhanced?
At the very least, when facing that Strength-type Zombie again, he definitely wouldn’t be as pathetic as before.
But still…
“Why did you have to give me this Tier 1 Treasure Chest?” Sigh!
Lu Xingyuan let out a deep sigh.
You’re really putting me in a tough spot here.
Whatever.
I’ll just keep her around.
If she kicks the bucket, life would be so boring later on.
“Gene Enhancement Potion??” “For me??” Gu Wanqing was first shocked, then immediately pressed, “Do you know I just got 3 Train Coins from the treasure chest, so you’re after my coins?” Damn, in your eyes, am I really such a money-grubbing person?!
In a fit of anger, Lu Xingyuan got angry for a moment.
“You’re really giving it to me for free?
You sure you won’t regret it?” “Stop yapping and just accept it already!” “Holy crap, Brother Yuan, you’re awesome!” “Glad you know it.” Five minutes later.
“Damn, why didn’t you tell me this stuff would hurt so much after drinking it?!” Hiding behind the Chat Light-screen, Lu Xingyuan covered his mouth and snickered, “Would telling you have made any difference?
Would it have hurt less if I told you?” “You could’ve at least given me a heads-up.
It hurt so much I shed little pearls.” “Skill issue, little bro!” “But honestly, this Gene Enhancement Potion is really awesome.
I feel like if I punched you, you’d cry for at least two hours straight.” You motherf*cker.
After taking the Gene Serum, the body enters a weakened state and urgently needs to replenish nutrients.
Lu Xingyuan devoured five packs of instant noodles, five bananas, five sausages, and five marinated eggs before finally calming the turmoil in his stomach.
Even though his standard of living was already far ahead of most Train Masters, he still wasn’t very satisfied.
“When will I finally get to eat something warm?!” The chat channel was still buzzing.
For Train Masters who couldn’t find any other form of entertainment, chatting was clearly the best way to kill time.
“Damn, over a hundred more Train Masters got eliminated.
The survival pressure is insane!” “Life’s tough?
Come join our mutual aid society!
Just sign up and we guarantee you’ll level up fast and boost your strength!” “My damn train is falling apart, durability down to its last ten points.
Cruising on the tracks now, wind howling right through it, blowing so hard I’m shivering.
People talk about being so poor they’ve got nothing but four walls—hell, I don’t even have four walls!
Just a floor left, and even that’s full of gaping holes!
I wouldn’t be surprised if I got tossed out in my sleep tonight!” “Man upstairs, that’s just too tragic.
Can’t bear to see it.
How about you transfer all your remaining supplies to me?
Since you can’t keep playing anyway, might as well sacrifice yourself for someone else’s benefit.” “Go screw yourself!” “Train Coins for bullets, interested parties DM me!!”
