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

That guy named Xu Bojian couldn't activate the treasure chest because he didn't have any train coins.

Su Yuan, however, inadvertently fulfilled all the requirements.

Since that was the case, Su Yuan no longer hesitated and stuck the remaining two train coins on the surface of the treasure chest one by one.

[Number of coins inserted: 2/3]

[Number of coins inserted: 3/3]

When the third train coin merged into the box, the entire treasure chest shook violently, emitting a light several times brighter than before.

Congratulations! You have successfully bribed someone using train coins and have been awarded 1 chance to win a prize.

The moment the prompt ended, the treasure chest in front of them underwent a dramatic transformation.

The originally rustic wooden box began to shake violently, and with a "whoosh," a wisp of blue smoke rose from the gap in the lid.

The wisps of smoke swirled and condensed in mid-air, eventually transforming into a chubby, bluish-gray boy about half a person's height, dressed in ancient wealthy man's robes.

The chubby boy had a natural air of snobbery on his face, and his two little eyes darted around. As soon as he saw Su Yuan, he immediately put on a big smile.

This appearance instantly reminded Su Yuan of the genie in Aladdin's lamp, except that the one in front of him looked more like a butler or accountant.

At the same time, a new hidden note quietly appeared before Su Yuan's eyes.

[Hidden Note: This is a spirit that guards wealth. Because of extreme greed in life, its soul is imprisoned here after death, constantly suffering the torment of being unable to touch wealth.]

Its duty is to guard a side entrance to the Treasure Vault of All Realms. A passing deity made a pact with it: if it could collect 9999999 gold coins (i.e., train coins), it would be granted liberation and transcendence.

For every three coins you pay, you get a chance to bribe it; it might occasionally surprise you when it's in a good mood.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine?

Su Yuan blinked, quickly calculating in his mind.

This number is simply astronomical.

If players keep throwing three at a time like this, when will this guy be able to reincarnate?

And it turns out that this guy's so-called super prize depends on his mood, just like the anti-crossing mechanism in the lottery.

A bold idea sprouted in Su Yuan's mind.

Since this guy's goal is to collect all the train coins, is there a possibility of some kind of cooperation between us?

But there's no rush. Let's see what this lottery can bring us first.

Just as Su Yuan was examining the money-guarding spirit, the chubby boy was also examining Su Yuan.

A hint of surprise flashed in its small eyes, as if it hadn't expected the "sugar daddy" in front of it to be so young, and to have an aura that made its heart tremble. Although it was a little immature, it had a familiar charm.

The businessman's instincts quickly overwhelmed everything. He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Su Yuan, his voice high-pitched and thin, carrying a hint of flattery.

[My esteemed benefactor, thank you for your generosity! I have received your three gold coins in full!]

Following the ancient principle of equivalent exchange, I will also offer you a small gift in return for your kindness.

As he spoke, the money-guarding spirit lightly snapped his fingers in the air.

"Snapped!"

Before Su Yuan, a giant roulette wheel made of light and shadow appeared out of thin air.

The roulette wheel was divided into dozens of squares, most of which were marked with a large question mark and emitted a mysterious white light.

[My esteemed benefactor, please spin the wheel of fortune before you.] The guardian spirit gestures "please," [and says,] "The moment the pointer stops, you will receive the gift that fate has prepared for you."

According to the hidden information, the so-called super prize was entirely dependent on this guy's mood.

So this roulette wheel is just a formality.

Su Yuan didn't say anything more, reached out his hand, and pushed hard on the huge roulette wheel.

Finally, under Su Yuan's blatant gaze, the money-guarding spirit seemed a little guilty, its eyes unconsciously glancing to the side, and it smiled awkwardly.

bingo!

The roulette wheel turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Seeing this, the money-guarding spirit beamed with joy and bowed to Su Yuan again: "Congratulations, my esteemed benefactor! It seems your luck is quite good!"

After saying that, it turned around and, like an eel, "whoosh," it darted back into the treasure chest.

Just a few seconds later, the treasure chest lid opened automatically with a "click," and a card with a blue glow lay quietly inside.

Su Yuan reached out and picked up the card.

It felt slightly cool to the touch. The card depicted an intricate mechanical structure, with a line of small print below.

Platform forecast blueprint

[Quality: Special/Rare]

[Production Requirements: 5 units of iron blocks, 3 units of plastic, 2 units of copper, 1 electronic component]

[Description of effect: Installed behind the train driver's cab, it can monitor and accurately predict the arrival time of the next station, weather conditions, and basic environmental indices in real time, including all possible unexpected road conditions in the next 24 hours.]

[Hidden Note: Originally a super prize, but it still carries a bit of someone's resentment]

What the hell!

Su Yuan was dumbfounded after reading the description on the card.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so frightened by me that they gave me a super prize.

And as a super prize, this thing lives up to the "super" in its value.

This thing is absolutely the best of the best.

You see, nobody knows when the next stop will arrive; a reminder will only come just before arrival. But this thing can get that information at any time.

That's not even the most crucial part; this thing can also predict future weather and even road conditions.

This is amazing! It's an incredible tool for information!

Su Yuan put away the blueprint with great satisfaction, and his gaze fell once again on the treasure chest that had been restored to its ancient appearance.

But after the transaction just now, the money-guarding spirit had already disappeared, seemingly hiding inside in fear.

Su Yuan couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking to himself, "Am I that scary?"

So I went up and knocked on the box, but although I heard some movement inside, this thing was absolutely unwilling to come out.

Su Yuan simply shrugged. He hadn't expected this thing to be so timid. However, his own gains were also quite impressive, so he decided not to bother the other party any further for the time being and would wait until he got the train currency before making further negotiations.

[Pah, that fatso is such a coward.]

Xiao Huo's voice came from below the driver's seat, with a hint of sourness in his tone.

When the money-guarding spirit was around, it didn't make a sound, but now that the person is gone, it's suddenly become energetic.

【Master, don't be fooled by its appearance. This kind of spirit is the worst; it only bullies honest people.】

[It was only because you were so powerful and imposing that you managed to intimidate it. If it had been someone weaker, it probably would have swindled you out of your money and then given you a piece of junk to get rid of you.]

Unlike me? I'm utterly loyal to my master, devoted to him wholeheartedly. As long as I'm fed, I'll do whatever he says!

This flattery was so sycophantic that even Su Yuan found it nauseating.

However, Xiao Huo is not wrong.

If Su Yuan hadn't learned the inside story through hidden information and hadn't kept staring intently at the other person, it would have been different.

If that roulette wheel had been truly random, it might have given you something like an "old sock" or a "rusty nail."

"So why didn't you say anything just now? Were you playing dead?"

No! I'm innocent, Master!

The flame in the core of the small fire flickered; it was shaking its head.

Although that guy is a shrewd businessman, he's still a spirit with some power of rules. My level is too low; as soon as he appeared, my signal was suppressed, so I couldn't make a sound at all.

[Once I level up, I'll crush these low-level spirits with a single bite, and my master won't even need to lift a finger!]

Su Yuan: "..."

Come on.

Su Yuan then picked out a wood-chopping knife and fed it to Xiao Huo.

The energy core can break down various types of iron and convert them into unit iron for construction.

However, doing so will continuously consume their energy, but it will also make them more refined. After replenishing their energy, the energy core will gradually become stronger.

This can be considered one way they upgrade.

If it's just 5 units of iron, Su Yuan can make it directly using the materials he has.

However, it lacks plastic, copper, and electronic components.

These items were likely extracted after the electronic instruments were melted down; they should be available on the trading platform.

So Su Yuan clicked in again, this time also paying attention to those things that had burning value, so he could feed them to Little Fire together later.

After all, as a boss, I need to balance work and rest; it's not good to mistreat my employees.
