Chapter 12
So far, Xi Miao has only opened one box.
It's a beginner's chest, which is the only type of chest outside the rules and has no reference value.
The two she currently possesses are bronze treasure chests found at the train station.
Xi Miao had opened many bronze treasure chests in his dreams, so he was exceptionally experienced.
She wiped her hands clean as usual, then rubbed them together to warm her palms before opening the bronze treasure chest she had found at the first stop.
You have obtained a Greatsword Blueprint*1 and a Substitute Straw Doll*1
The bronze treasure chest will randomly yield 2-4 items, but Xi Miao only got two, which was somewhat disappointing.
But after glancing at the description of the substitute straw doll, that slight disappointment immediately dissipated like smoke.
[Substitute Straw Doll: After use, it can swap positions with any object within five meters (ignites immediately after use).]
This is a life-saving artifact!
Xi Miao perked up; it seemed her luck today was not only not bad, but extremely good.
She immediately rubbed her hands together and opened another bronze treasure chest.
You have obtained Speed Boots*1, Temperature Adjustment Suit*1, Ultra-thin Bulletproof Vest*1, and Unknown Fragment*1
This time, a total of four items were obtained, but in terms of value, they were not even worth a single straw doll.
But Xi Miao was not disappointed. Instead, she curiously took out the unknown fragment and looked at it.
The object was a piece of torn paper, and because it was incomplete, the contents could not be discerned at the moment.
She thought for a moment, then found a box in the carriage and put the item inside.
If you get the same fragments in the future, you can store them directly in this box.
Her suit was self-cleaning and quick-drying, but it lacked temperature regulation. Once the temperature dropped significantly, Xi Miao could only hide in the bedding roll that could maintain the temperature.
But now that I have this outfit, things are different.
She could have gotten off at the station where the temperature dropped drastically to collect supplies.
Danger and reward always go hand in hand. The deadly winter is dangerous enough, but this stop must have plenty of supplies.
Xi Miao's heart pounded against her skin, and her chest ached.
She reached out and rubbed her hands to calm the ambition that was almost leaping out of her throat. She changed into the newly opened suit and carefully sorted out what she needed to do next.
The clock showed that it was 3 p.m. Xi Miao did a quick calculation and realized that there were still 29 hours until the third stop.
In the first three stops, the events that can be stopped at the first and second stops are about the same.
This can easily create a habitual way of thinking, making people subconsciously feel that the third stop will probably also be a two-day stop.
But in reality, the third stop was the first lesson they learned.
The time allowed at this station is only 3 hours. If you can't find the management office and see the time reminder within this time, you may be locked out of the train and become a lost person.
Those who fail to pass the beginner phase have almost nothing to protect themselves.
In the dangerous fog, only death awaited them.
In the first three stations, all players can stay on the platform for the same amount of time, which is also a kind of information resource that Xi Miao can grasp.
She wondered whether she should leak the news.
As I was thinking this, I subconsciously opened the public chat.
Xi Miao was taken aback.
The public chat is in complete chaos.
The story begins with the message Xi Miao sent about exchanging food. After the first two stations, most people realized that the sudden train survival game was about their lives.
Food and water are necessities for people, but they are not available at every station.
Knowing this, the price of this necessity remained high in the market.
With few willing to sell and many wanting to buy, XiXiXi, who had previously sold drinking water at a low price, immediately attracted everyone's attention when she reappeared.
The buyer was overjoyed and wanted to make the deal with her immediately.
The seller was furious and wished he would just disappear right now and stop disrupting the high market prices.
Under the influence of this public opinion, although XiXiXi herself has not yet sold the food she mentioned, some people who were waiting for a higher price couldn't wait any longer and prepared to sell their goods before the price dropped.
In an instant, many buyers seeking water and food successfully completed their transactions.
With a large number of sellers willing to sell their goods, those who were waiting for prices to rise were naturally unwilling to comply.
Lai Cai Ge is one of them.
But he learned his lesson and this time he didn't immediately jump out to oppose Xi Miao.
Because of what happened last time, he became quite famous on the public chat. Players throughout server 37 all knew that he was a treacherous villain.
Wang Zhenxing was shocked, angry, and distressed for a while, but soon realized the benefits.
Even if he's infamous, he's still famous. Compared to those who are completely unknown, at least he's famous now. Anyone who's paid attention to the public chat knows he's involved in scandals.
He decided to use this black-and-red traffic to obtain more resources and sell the food and water he later obtained on the platform at a high price.
He's incredibly lucky, just like his name suggests, he'll bring wealth.
The bus stopped at a water-rich station, an abandoned bathhouse with nothing else, but the faucets were still working and there was plenty of water.
Wang Zhenxing then devoted all his time to collecting water resources.
I sold two bottles at a high price as soon as I got back.
But he didn't sell much, not because he didn't want to, but because he planned to make a fortune from the water and become a truly wealthy businessman.
But just as the plan was about to begin, that damned "hehehe" appeared again!
Wang Zhenxing was filled with hatred, but he learned his lesson and remained hidden in the shadows.
Sure enough, even though he didn't show up, other people who disliked Xi Miao jumped out to question him.
Xi Miao opened the public chat and just then saw his question.
Dark Jungle: "Hehehe, you stirred up the market with just one sentence and then hid like a coward?"
Once the first bird to stick its neck out was caught, other businessmen who couldn't stand Xixi naturally swarmed in.
They chatted back and forth, briefly dominating the public chat.
Wang Zhenxing couldn't help but chuckle a few times, then took the opportunity to slip inside, adding a few curses.
I don't know what happened, but when those people were cursing him, nothing happened. But as soon as he appeared, that mad dog named Xiumu Yulin started chasing and biting him.
Xiumu Yulin: "That bug is buzzing again. Isn't that the infamous Lai Cai Ge? Planning to sell a few hundred units of water a bottle again today?"
Wang Zhenxing reluctantly shut up. He had argued with Xiumu Yulin several times but had never won. Now he had learned to subconsciously shut up to cut his losses.
However, he soon felt smug again.
He wasn't the one who started this trouble today. That guy in the dark jungle is clearly not someone to mess with, and he'll never let this go.
Wang Zhenxing stared at the screen, hoping that the guy called Dark Jungle would reappear.
One minute later, the ID appeared as expected.
Dark Jungle: "Hehehe, come out!"
Wang Zhenxing was overjoyed. "Yes, we should have made this guy come out a long time ago!"
He secretly hoped that this dark jungle would be powerful enough to take out XiXiXi directly.
Xi Miao looked at the public chat and raised an eyebrow.
Hehehe: "Looking for me?"
