[Ghost-Breath Dagger] [Category: Extraordinary Creation] [Level: 2] [Description: Shadow Mana has erased the sound of its passage through the air.
Once the hilt rests in your palm, killing intent fades into the shadows.
Thrusts are silent, armor-piercing leaves no trace, leaving only a momentary chill that seeps into the bone.] The dagger has an overall length of 24 centimeters, with a blade length of 15 centimeters.
It is narrower and thinner than a conventional dagger.
The blade is forged from matte dark steel.
Near the hilt, at the base of the blade, a circle of dark silver Ghost-Runes is engraved, fine as strands of hair.
The hilt is made of polished ebony wood, wrapped with waxed, thin deerskin cord.
The accompanying hard leather sheath is lined with felt on the inside, making drawing and sheathing nearly silent.
The overall design is minimalist and understated, devoid of any flashy ornamentation.
“Another Extraordinary Creation, and a level 2 one at that…” Lu Xingyuan’s heart betrayed him, thumping violently twice.
He had really hit the jackpot this time!
Extraordinary Creations were already incredibly rare, let alone a level 2 one!
Lu Xingyuan drew the dagger, carefully gauging its feel, then found an iron plate to test its power.
The iron plate was easily sliced through!
As expected, the dagger’s power surpassed that of the submachine gun.
After all, its level was right there.
Not everyone was some protagonist who could fight above their weight class.
“If I’d had this weapon when facing that Strength-type Zombie, I could have finished it off in a few strikes.” Of course, melee weapons had their limitations.
Close-quarters combat carried a higher risk of injury.
In the vast majority of situations, he would still rely on his submachine gun for long-range suppression, denying monsters any chance to get close.
As for the dagger, he would only use it as a last resort.
The Tier 3 Treasure Chest contained only these two items.
This left Lu Xingyuan in a dilemma.
After all, as Gu Wanqing had said, if she hadn’t provided the intel, he would have had no way of obtaining this chest so smoothly.
“Forget it.” Gritting his teeth, he finally placed five Train Coins in the trade window.
“Don’t let me down!” Gu Wanqing didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted them directly.
Damn!
At least pretend to be a bit reserved!
Lu Xingyuan grumbled inwardly.
“So generous?
Seems like the stuff from the Tier 3 Treasure Chest isn’t ordinary.” After some thought, Lu Xingyuan still sent a screenshot of the dagger’s stats to her.
“Ah, well!
Who made us allies who can trust each other with our backs?” “Damn!
It really is good stuff!
I knew you, you dog, wouldn’t be so generous for no reason!” Gu Wanqing cursed back.
“You’re not getting any improper ideas about it, are you?” Lu Xingyuan probed tentatively.
“Do you think your Sister Qing is someone with so little sense?” Lu Xingyuan automatically imagined the girl rolling her eyes.
“That puts my mind at ease.” But then again, did she have a suitable weapon?
Without one, surviving in this perilous train world would be very difficult.
Mainly, her Talent…
if he wasn’t mistaken, it was pretty damn awesome!
So, she couldn’t afford any accidents!
Moreover, all the Train Masters were frantically forming groups now.
She was one of his few allies, after all!
“You caring so much about Sis Qing really touches her.
But you looking down on Sis Qing like this makes her very unhappy!” The other party directly sent over a screenshot.
[Lily-of-the-Valley Light Crossbow] [Category: Extraordinary Creation] [Level: 2] [Description: The moment it is gripped in the palm, the warm, smooth texture of the wooden body fits perfectly against the hand.
It does not require great strength to operate, enabling precise and stable shooting, and even carries a weak Vine-Binding Power to control the field and subdue enemies!] Lu Xingyuan: “Holy crap, Sis Qing is awesome!” Gu Wanqing: “Feels good.” Immediately after, the trade window lit up again.
Gu Wanqing sent him a brand-new tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush.
It turned out that the station she went to today was a hotel.
Not only did she not encounter any danger, but she also got to enjoy a refreshing shower inside.
“Right now, my whole body feels smooth and slippery, you have no idea how comfortable it is!” She hadn’t taken a proper shower for several days.
For a girl who loves cleanliness, one can imagine how unbearable that was.
“The only pity is that I don’t have any clean clothes to change into.” A thought struck Lu Xingyuan, as if he remembered something.
He then rummaged around and finally dug out that box of size S women’s underwear.
“Damn, these aren’t…
‘originals’ you collected from other girls, are they?” “Are you blind?
Can’t you tell these are brand-new, unopened underwear?
And besides, am I that kind of person?” “Aren’t you?” After a while, Gu Wanqing sent a message, “They’re a bit tight.” Lu Xingyuan: “…” Details, please.
…
The ceramic basin was round, with a diameter of about 50 centimeters and a depth of only 20 centimeters.
The soil was loose and moist, dark brown in color.
A light squeeze would form it into a clump, which would scatter upon hitting the ground.
It wasn’t sticky or compacted—clearly high-quality soil!
As for the delicious mushroom seeds, Lu Xingyuan had soaked them in water.
They were currently bubbling continuously with fine air bubbles.
According to the White-nosed Dwarf, they needed to be soaked for 8 hours before planting.
“It won’t be long before I can enjoy delicious mushrooms.” Lu Xingyuan was quite looking forward to it.
“I’ll give Sis Qing a portion too when the time comes, so she can also taste these delicious mushrooms.” But before that, he needed to solve the problem of cooking utensils.
For a fire source, he could resort to the drill wood method, or if that didn’t work, he could trade for a lighter in the exchange channel.
As for utensils, after some haggling with someone, he finally exchanged some food for a bunch of brand-new pots, bowls, ladles, and basins.
The other party wanted Train Coins more, but Lu Xingyuan refused.
Train Coins were so precious; he should save them whenever possible and try not to trade them away casually.
“OK, now everything is ready except for the east wind.” At that moment, Lu Xingyuan saw someone @ him in the chat channel.
“Big shot, you really screwed me over.
You said that Doggy Paradise had a secret passage.
I went there, but there weren’t any dogs locked up inside, just an empty dog cage.” For that, he almost got torn to shreds by the Zombie Hounds!
None?
A thought occurred to Lu Xingyuan, and he couldn’t help but think of something.
“You said that Doggy Paradise was a White Platform?” “Yeah.” “But when I went, it was a Green Platform.” “What do you mean?
I don’t understand.” “In other words, the station changes, rather than resetting after I leave it like a normal game mechanic.” After he rescued that dog and obtained the fang, the station’s level naturally dropped…
No, there was another reason for the station’s level drop: the Zombie Hounds there had been mostly wiped out by him.
Otherwise, that guy would have died at that station long ago, given how ferocious and numerous the Zombie Hounds were!
If that’s the case, then the station he just visited—Piras’s Magic Castle—would also drop in level because he took away that Tier 3 Treasure Chest.
Although the responsibility wasn’t entirely his, Lu Xingyuan still compensated the other party with a loaf of bread.
The other party accepted it gladly, repeatedly expressing gratitude.
And with that, the matter was settled.
Then, a bombshell message exploded in the chat channel.
