The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

After checking the harvest, Su Yuan slumped onto the floor, panting heavily.

After a couple of minutes, he grabbed the half-full bucket of mineral water from the ground and gulped it down.

"Gulp, gulp..."

The cool liquid rushed down my throat and into my stomach, finally easing the burning thirst.

He wasn't afraid of choking; he grabbed two compressed biscuits and stuffed them into his mouth, his cheeks puffing out like a hamster's, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and he managed to swallow the hard, dry biscuits.

As food and water were converted into energy and spread throughout his body, Su Yuan finally felt himself come back to life.

"Cool!"

Su Yuan wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, his eyes shining with an alarming intensity.

This thrill of repeatedly teetering on the edge of life and death is the best catalyst for evolution.

He raised his hand and pinched his biceps. The caliper didn't lie; his strength did seem to have increased a bit.

"A 0.2 improvement in physical fitness."

Su Yuan's lips curled into a smile.

Don't underestimate this 0.2. For the average person, even if they spend every day in the gym and consume protein powder for several months, they may not achieve this effect.

Not to mention that ordinary people have genetic locks, and once they reach a certain level, they hit a ceiling, making it extremely difficult to advance even a fraction of an inch further.

But I don't have it.

The word "limit" doesn't exist in the dictionary of ultimate life forms.

There is no such thing as being unable to evolve, only a lack of desire to evolve.

Each pack of these compressed biscuits comes with a star-shaped candy. Su Yuan casually tossed the two star-shaped candies into the air, tilted his head, and caught them precisely with his mouth.

"Click."

The candy crumbles between your teeth, and the sweetness bursts on your tongue.

After a brief moment of enjoyment, Su Yuan turned his gaze to the remaining snakeskin bag in the corner.

That viper was just an appetizer; the real main course is yet to come.

If a viper's venom is a "physical attack" that causes tissue necrosis and blood breakdown, then this king cobra's venom is a "magical attack" that strikes straight to the soul.

Neurotoxins.

This thing doesn't reason with you; it directly cuts off nerve signals and inhibits respiratory muscles, making you experience the despair of suffocation while you're still conscious, and ultimately suffocating to death due to respiratory failure.

Although the localized reaction is not as severe as that of a viper, it is actually more dangerous.

Fortunately, Su Yuan's evolution had two effects: a high level of resistance to viper venom and a low level of resistance to venom.

Su Yuan reached out and untied the bag, his large hand disappearing inside without any hesitation.

"hiss--!"

A thick, black shadow shot out instantly, bringing with it a nauseating, fishy smell.

King cobra!

This thing was twice the size of the viper from before, truly the king of snakes, so ferocious that it even ate its own kind like spicy snacks.

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, the Snake King was nothing more than a giant mudfish.

No matter how frantically the king cobra twisted its body, or even tightly wrapped its tail around Su Yuan's arm, it still couldn't break free.

Next, it's the familiar process.

……

Half an hour later.

The only sound in the carriage was Su Yuan's heavy breathing.

The suffocating feeling of complete paralysis and lungs feeling like they were filled with cement and couldn't expand had just subsided.

He once again escaped death.

Although the process was messy, and his camouflage uniform was soaked with cold sweat, making him look like he had just been pulled out of the water, Su Yuan felt it was all worth it when he saw the data jumping on the panel.

[Combined high-level resistance to snake venom/medium-level resistance to venom]

[Physical Fitness: 50.5]

It went up another 0.3!

Including the previous one, his physical fitness level increased by 0.5 in just one hour.

Su Yuan got up from the ground, grabbed the remaining four compressed biscuits and the empty bottle of mineral water, and devoured them in a flash.

The hunger in my stomach finally subsided.

"We've finished the little food we just got, but it's okay."

"Let's take stock of our assets and then go to the trading house later."

Su Yuan sat cross-legged at the table and spread out all the spoils he had plundered.

The two half-dead venomous snakes were stuffed back into the bag. They were meat too, and snake skin was a good thing. If they were hung up, someone might like them, and maybe even an old man would buy them to make medicinal wine.

I have three wood-chopping knives. I'll keep one for myself and sell the other two.

Hoes and picks are basic tools, and there are no substitutes for them at the moment, so they need to be kept as spares.

The two fire axes are powerful tools for breaking down doors, and we're not selling them for now unless you ask for more money.

We managed to get four winter coats for the forest rangers. These are really good stuff; they keep you warm and are definitely a valuable commodity in this unknown world.

Keep two clothes for yourself to change into, and you can exchange the remaining two for resources.

That shotgun is definitely not going to be used; it's our trump card.

Besides that, there was half a box of damp matches and a pack of unopened cigarettes.

Finally, three heavy coins lay in Su Yuan's palm.

Train coins.

"Little Fire, how do you use this?" Su Yuan asked, stroking the edge of the coin.

The flame core beneath the control panel flickered twice, and a sound immediately followed.

[Master, this is a valuable item! It's the universal currency of this world!]

[One specific function is that you can pay one Train Coin to post an announcement on the world channel. Sometimes you might urgently need a certain material, but it's not available in the trading house and is being held by other players who are unwilling to sell it. You can use this announcement to reach a trade. In addition to this function, it can also be used for bounties, finding lost items, and finding lost people.]

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. "I see. I'd better keep this safe. It will be very useful in the future."

Of course, this is just its most basic usage.

Its true value lies in its exchange! Once you've accumulated enough Train Coins, you can exchange them for train add-ons or upgrade blueprints.

[For example, heavy machine gun turrets, medical carriages, or even converting trains into mobile fortresses... as long as you have the blueprints and the corresponding materials, you can build them with a single click.]

After hearing what Xiao Huo said, Su Yuan narrowed his eyes. This little coin looked insignificant, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

He then brought up the system interface to check the conditions for the train to be upgraded from level 1 to level 2.

Train upgrade requirements: 200 units of iron, 200 units of wood.

Timber is easy to obtain; it's not difficult to get.

But the iron block...

"What do we do with this iron block?" Su Yuan asked.

"Hehe, that depends on the master's luck," Little Fire explained. "There are usually three ways. The first is mining, finding iron ore and refining it yourself, which is time-consuming and laborious. The second is opening treasure chests, which heavily relies on luck, basically a matter of chance. The third... is also the most efficient, collecting scrap iron items and throwing them to me through the feed chute!"

[Any metal, I can melt it down and reduce it to standard iron material!]

Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

understood.

After quickly acquiring the good stuff in the next carriage using the information system, we should first figure out how to gather the wood and iron.

After all, this world is about survival on trains, so the level of the train is naturally of paramount importance.

Su Yuan sorted and put away the items on the table.

In reality, there aren't many things we can actually trade right now.

That is, two coats, two knives, two snakes, plus half a pack of matches and a box of cigarettes. In addition, the two fire axes, as well as a pickaxe and a hoe, are available for sale.

Of course, it depends on what you urgently need to exchange for something else.

Then, Su Yuan had a sudden thought and opened the regional chat channel in the chat room.

Public chat room number 5481, number of online users: 4907.

Su Yuan also noticed the change in the number of online users. He didn't expect that in just one short stop, the first batch of people had already died.

"Mom...I want to go home...I'm so hungry...I hurt my leg..."

Does anyone sell water? I'm dying of thirst...

[Oh no, guys, make sure to boil the water before drinking! It's already spraying water!]

……

[Brothers, my first stop was by a small lake. I even got a fishing rod and a bag of bait from a treasure chest, and caught quite a few fish. I don't know if there will be another lake at the next stop, and I'm getting a bit tired of eating fish all the time. Anyone want to trade with me for some food?]

[Item Information: A regular fishing rod. (The most common and basic fishing rod, suitable for fishing, but its owner seems to have recently gone home empty-handed.)]

[Does anyone have any food...please? I'll trade you a stone I just picked up. It's a really pretty stone, perfectly round...]

[Item Information: An ordinary stone. (Although ordinary, please, it is indeed very round.)]

[Is there a doctor here? I just touched a red fruit out of the blue, and now my hand is swollen like a pig's trotter, and the swelling is spreading upwards...]

[Item Information: Red Wound Fruit (A special fruit covered with invisible thorns, requiring extreme care to harvest. After special processing, it is edible and has a magical effect of increasing strength. It is also an essential ingredient for crafting certain items.)]

……

At this moment, some people in the regional chat are reaping great benefits, while others are even facing a crisis.

Another feature in the chat is that while speaking, you can insert an item for display and directly jump to the transaction.

Of course, in the early stages, almost everyone could only see the name and could not know the detailed information.

To obtain detailed information, one can only rely on the energy core. However, the core's database may only be upgraded as the train's level increases, and it is not omnipotent.

So, whether something is edible, whether it will cause poisoning, what its function is, and how to use it are all things that players must decide for themselves.

Surprisingly, Su Yuan saw additional information again.

At that moment, he instantly realized something, quickly left the chat room, and went to the trading platform.
