Survive on the train, I can sublimate everything! Chapter 007

“Did I say too little?”

Ye Qiyan scratched his head, seeing the other party’s straightforward answer, but he didn’t regret it.

[“Alright, let’s make the trade then.”]

Shangguan Yingxue: [“Wait, I need more bullets and food.”]

This woman? Where did she get so much water?

No, having a lot of water isn’t surprising, since she said it was lake water, so there’s a high probability her first stop was a lake or similar place. What really made Ye Qiyan curious was, where did she get the containers for the water?

Before the average three-hour stop at the first station ended, both the trading platform and the chatroom were closed.

Picked up? Or built using blueprints like him?

He didn’t ask, after all, everyone has their secrets.

Ye Qiyan: [“Bullets are cheaper, five low-grade bullets for one kilogram of water, and you don’t need to provide containers. As for food, it’s this military compressed biscuit, one biscuit for five kilograms of water.”]

Shangguan Yingxue: [“Okay, I want one hundred low-grade bullets and three biscuits, plus the gun and 20 bullets from before, a total of 85 kilograms of lake water. Prepare for the trade, do you have enough containers? If not, I can sell them to you?”]

Ye Qiyan: [“No need, just trade directly.”]

The trade point was placed above the water tank.

The moment the firearms and bullets disappeared, 85 kilograms of water appeared out of thin air, pouring into the water tank.

Including the previous amount, Ye Qiyan now had 135 kilograms of water.

Looking at the clean and clear water in the tank, he strongly resisted the urge to drink it.

Although the water looked clean, anyone with a little common sense would know that water from a lake, without filtration and boiling, would be tantamount to suicide if drunk.

[“Pleasure doing business, feel free to contact me if you have anything else you want to trade.”]

Shangguan Yingxue didn’t reply, only silently sent a friend request to Ye Qiyan.

Seeing the notification, Ye Qiyan didn’t refuse.

Compared to the self-important Li Xiaosheng from before, Ye Qiyan preferred trading with someone like Shangguan Yingxue.

At least.

She spoke less, saving him trouble.

After finishing the trade with Shangguan Yingxue, he successively sold quite a few low-grade marksman rifles and bullets to others.

Things like fiber and glass needed for reinforcing the carriage were also taken care of. After reinforcement, windows appeared in the window frames, and the previously drafty environment inside the carriage was greatly improved.

“A bountiful harvest.”

After the last trade, Ye Qiyan only had 21 rifles left in his hand.

He didn’t set a specific price, selling them to anyone he felt was close enough to a fair deal.

This wasn’t a losing business, but Ye Qiyan knew very well that currently, everyone else’s trains were only at Level 1. Who knew if more excellent weapon blueprints than these low-grade rifles would appear once most people’s trains had undergone their first upgrade and triggered the upgrade option?

Hoarding was not advisable.

The value of such low-grade items would only decrease over time.

“Finally, nothing left to do.”

Taking out a traded bread and mineral water, Ye Qiyan ate his first proper dinner since arriving in this world.

He returned to the train’s engine car, swaying and finding a relatively warm spot to curl up.

Forget about survival, he was so tired now, his only thought was to sleep.

Accompanied by the thudding sound of the train traveling through the endless wilderness, Ye Qiyan gazed at the high-hanging bright moon outside the window and slowly closed his eyes.

Thump-thump—thump-thump—

“Hiss!”

The coldness of the night made Ye Qiyan shiver.

He rubbed his eyes and got up from the ground, shaking his slightly stiff neck, subconsciously looking out the train window.

The wilderness was still the wilderness, and a disturbing mystery permeated beyond the distant horizon.

Looking up, the cold light cast by the huge bright moon seemed to add a touch of desolation to the entire world.

[Stamina: 87] [Spirit: 91]

“How long did I sleep?”

Ye Qiyan rubbed his eyes, looking at the train’s built-in timestamp.

[ 03:37]

Three thirty-seven AM, Ye Qiyan sighed helplessly, opening the chatroom and watching the messages still scrolling endlessly.

Only a few like him could sleep peacefully.

“Forget it, I can’t sleep anyway.”

Ye Qiyan patted the dust off his body and stood up.

With his stamina and spirit recovered, it was time to continue with the sublimation.

“Let’s try this first.”

The Colt M 1911, this all-black pistol, like a work of art, if sublimated once, how powerful would it become?

The next second station was no longer a safe stop; only powerful weapons could give Ye Qiyan peace of mind.

“Sublimate.”

Stamina continuously disappeared from his body.

Faint patterns appeared on the originally black firearm, and the gun body became slightly wider and longer than before, making it a bit strenuous to pick up with one hand.

[Blacklight Enchanted Pistol] (Level 3)

[Can consume stamina to convert internal bullets into armor-piercing rounds]

[Stamina: 47] [Spirit: 90]

Consuming forty points of stamina was still acceptable to Ye Qiyan.

He weighed the Blacklight Pistol in his hand, stacking a few pieces of metal to form a simple target.

He pulled the trigger, consuming stamina, and an armor-piercing round shot out with a loud bang and dazzling heat and light.

Bang!!

Looking at the completely penetrated bullet hole, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Qiyan’s face.

“So powerful, besides the high recoil, is this really just a pistol?”

[Stamina: 45]

“Two points of stamina can convert one armor-piercing round, acceptable.”

“Hmm? It seems like it can still be sublimated further?”

Ye Qiyan fiddled with the gun in his hand, hesitating for a moment, then gave up on the idea.

He could barely accept the current recoil.

If the power and recoil increased again after upgrading, he feared he wouldn’t be able to control it.

The remaining stamina and spirit were enough for him to continue sublimating.

He came to the first carriage.

Ye Qiyan reached out and touched the wall.

“Sublimate.”

To his surprise, the sublimation of the carriage didn’t require much stamina.

[Stamina: 25]

“Is it really that little? I thought I’d have to use spirit.”

[Warm Train Carriage] (Level 2)

[Enchanted Warmth: The interior can maintain a constant 22 degrees Celsius at all times]

“Now I won’t be woken up by the cold.”

Although the train carriage couldn’t undergo a second sublimation like the engine car, Ye Qiyan was already quite satisfied with this.

“Anyway, there’s plenty of time, I’ll sleep a bit more.”

He took a thin blanket he bought from the engine car and spread it on the ground.

Losing a large amount of stamina was the best solution for insomnia.

He didn’t plan to sublimate the remaining items.

Tomorrow, they would arrive at the second station.

Next, it was about preserving stamina.

And then waiting.
