“Brother Lu, the fact that the three of us have gathered at the same platform is quite a fateful encounter.
Why don’t we cooperate and loot the supplies here together?” Bald Man immediately extended the invitation.
“You’ve managed to collect so many supplies, so your strength must be extraordinary.
With you around, we’ll feel much safer exploring together!” Lu Xingyuan shook his head.
“You’re overthinking it.
I just got lucky.
I didn’t encounter any danger at the previous two platforms, which is why I could gather supplies so easily.” Bald Man was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.
“Didn’t the game rules remind us?
In this world, luck is more important than strength.
Brother Lu, you’re being too modest.
Having such good luck is already remarkable.
Maybe today, the two of us can also benefit from your good fortune.” After hearing Bald Man’s words, Wavy-haired Woman’s eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded vigorously.
“Exactly!
Since you’re so lucky, following you will definitely keep us out of danger!” Holding onto a big shot’s leg tightly is sure to bring plenty of benefits!
However, Lu Xingyuan’s resolute attitude exceeded her expectations.
“I said no.
Are you deaf?” Wavy-haired Woman’s expression stiffened.
After a long pause, she forced an awkward smile.
“Alright…
then.” She could only turn to Bald Man.
“Shall the two of us cooperate then?” Bald Man nodded.
“No problem.” Wavy-haired Woman immediately put on a fragile demeanor.
“I’m just a weak woman.
When the time comes, you’ll have to help me out a bit and let me have a little more supplies.” Bald Man gave an OK sign.
By this time, Lu Xingyuan had already entered a storefront.
Inside were parked various types of electric scooters, with no signs of danger visible.
After being enhanced by the Gene Serum, his perception had greatly improved.
If something was amiss, he would be able to sense it.
Could it be that after two strokes of bad luck, he was finally getting lucky?
Indeed, the platform’s level only indicated the abundance of resources at the station and wasn’t directly linked to danger.
In that case, it was time to start looting.
These brand-new electric scooters were the best resources, with frames entirely made of metal.
Additionally, there were various materials like plastic, rubber, and electronic components.
Although they weren’t useful now, they might come in handy later.
Lu Xingyuan rummaged through a cabinet and quickly found a large bunch of keys.
After trying them one by one, he soon started one of the scooters.
With a twist of the throttle, he sped toward the direction of his train.
There was a height difference between the train and the platform.
Fortunately, Lu Xingyuan was meticulous enough to have brought a ramp pad in advance, placing it in front of his train door.
This way, the electric scooter could be driven directly into the carriage.
With one scooter secured, Lu Xingyuan hurried back without stopping, ready for the next one.
Meanwhile, Bald Man and Wavy-haired Woman were searching the store for food and water.
After looking around, they found nothing.
“Is this for real?
Such a large store, and not even a single bucket of water?” Already extremely parched, Wavy-haired Woman couldn’t help but feel even more irritable.
“This is supposed to be called a Green Platform?
What a scam!” Bald Man was in a similarly foul mood.
Not everyone was as lucky as Lu Xingyuan, able to gather so much water and food.
He hadn’t had a drink of water in almost seventy-two hours, not even a drop of saliva could he muster.
Just then, they saw Lu Xingyuan speeding past on an electric bike.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately understood.
The reason this stop was a Green Platform was because there were plenty of upgrade materials!
“Should we haul some electric bikes back too?” Having come all this way, they couldn’t possibly return empty-handed.
They had to embody the spirit of the angler who never goes home empty-handed—if they couldn’t catch fish, they’d steal a cow; if they couldn’t steal a cow, they’d swipe some vegetables.
In short, they couldn’t leave empty-handed!
The two immediately followed Lu Xingyuan’s lead, hauling electric bikes back one after another.
Lu Xingyuan didn’t say anything—there were plenty of electric bikes, and they couldn’t possibly haul them all within an hour.
Twenty minutes later.
Lu Xingyuan had cleared out all the electric bikes from the first shop.
He promptly switched targets, eyeing the solid wood tables and chairs, as well as the wooden counter.
Come to think of it, the ceiling seemed to be made of wooden planks too.
He estimated he had enough metal already, having pushed over twenty electric bikes into the carriage, filling the already cramped space to the brim.
It was time to focus on wood and glass.
After dismantling the tables and chairs into a pile of rubble, Lu Xingyuan rode the electric bike back and forth, transporting the materials.
The glass shop windows were even easier to break—a single brick did the trick.
The shattered glass was also tossed into the carriage by Lu Xingyuan.
Good glass or bad glass, it didn’t matter—as long as it added up to a hundred units.
“Hmm?
This electric bike…” Arriving at the third shop, just as he was about to break the glass, Lu Xingyuan was suddenly drawn to a black electric bike parked right at the front of the store.
He found the key, inserted it, and turned it, only to find there was no battery.
Frowning, he suddenly thought of something and opened the seat compartment.
A treasure chest appeared before his eyes, gleaming brightly.
“It was hidden deep enough!” He had once thought there were no treasure chests at this platform, or perhaps the two others had already looted them.
But the misunderstanding was cleared.
Ten fifty.
Ten minutes until departure.
Bald Man and Big Wave stood waiting in front of the train.
“Brother Lu, your haul this time…
Wow, what’s this?
A treasure chest?!” Their attention was instantly captured by the treasure chest shimmering with an enchanting glow.
“You’re so lucky!
You actually found a treasure chest!” Big Wave’s tone was filled with unconcealed envy and jealousy.
Even though it was the third stop, most Train Masters had never seen a treasure chest.
Big Wave was one of them, so she was curious about what could be inside the chest.
“Can you open it and let us have a look?” “Nothing worth seeing.” Lu Xingyuan completely ignored her request, tossing the treasure chest into the carriage instead.
Big Wave’s expression instantly froze.
“Brother Lu is right.
It’s better not to open it.
After all, the treasure chest belongs to him.
What if something valuable comes out?
Wouldn’t that just make things harder for the two of us?” “Today, we were able to come to this Green Platform and collect so many supplies to upgrade the train without encountering any danger at all—that’s already incredibly lucky.
We really have to thank Brother Lu for sharing his good fortune with us.
Don’t you… agree?!” The woman with wavy hair seemed to receive some kind of signal.
She immediately pulled out a dagger hidden in her hand and stabbed directly at Lu Xingyuan in front of her!
If she had hesitated just moments ago, now… her eyes were unwavering, filled with extreme madness!
“Go to hell!
If you won’t open the treasure chest in front of me, then I’ll open it myself!”
