Train Survival: Can I get a treasure chest by touching my goddess?

Before he could finish speaking, Su Qingxuan spoke up again.

"The second deal is done." She looked up, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. "A gun and twenty bullets in exchange for a hundred pounds of timber and a blueprint."

She shared the transaction information on the screen with the three people.

[Transaction counterparty: Passengers on train D3327 - Yu Xiu]

[Transaction Details: Madsen 47 (Wilderness Grade) x1, 7.62mm ammunition x20]

[Gains: 150 kg of wood, Blueprint for Dagger (Rotten Wood Grade)]

Shen Wen stared at the name for two seconds: "D3327... Yu Xiu? Isn't that the one who said 'killed the train conductor' on the regional channel just now?"

Su Qingxuan nodded: "It's him."

The carriage was silent for a moment.

Jiang Youchu blinked: "Is this person... reliable?"

"Whether it's reliable or not doesn't matter." Su Qingxuan said calmly. "The trading platform has a system guarantee, so the supplies won't be wrong. As for who he is, that's none of our business."

She clicked "confirm".

Timber and blueprints appeared in the carriage.

The blueprint was a yellowed parchment with a detailed structural diagram of a short knife, indicating various dimensions and material requirements.

[Blueprint - Dagger (Rotten Wood Grade)]

【Required Materials: 5 kg of metal, 1 animal bone (obtainable by decomposing living organisms)】

[Production Location: Train Work Table]

[Effect: Basic melee weapon, average sharpness]

Shen Wen put away the blueprint and his gaze fell on the pile of newly arrived timber.

Including what we got from the treasure chests before, we now have more than 200 kilograms of wood, nearly 200 kilograms of metal, and 100 kilograms of mechanical parts.

We have enough materials to upgrade the train.

Just as he was about to speak, Su Qingxuan suddenly raised her hand to stop him, her gaze sweeping over the three of them, her tone becoming serious.

"Before we upgrade, we need to do one thing first—delineate responsibilities."

She paused for a moment: "While we were trading, I kept thinking that there would be more and more things to deal with next."

Inventorying supplies, negotiating deals, gathering intelligence, building workbenches, combat training... if everything is done together, trouble is bound to break out sooner or later.

Shen Wen nodded: "Sister, you go ahead."

Su Qingxuan looked at him: "First of all, Xiao Wen will be in charge of everything regarding the train."

"You're the train conductor; the system-approved authority rests with you, so we'll follow your instructions."

Shen Wen was slightly taken aback and wanted to say something, but Su Qingxuan had already turned to Jiang Youchu.

"Xiao Jiang, you'll be in charge of the worktable. All blueprint creation, resource breakdown, and facility maintenance will be your responsibility. Just tell me what materials you need, and Xiao Mu and I will assist you."

Jiang Youchu blinked and gave an OK sign: "No problem, I'm a crafting professional in the game, I'm good at this."

"Xiao Mu and I are in charge of the trading platform and intelligence gathering," Su Qingxuan continued. "I mainly focus on trading, while Xiao Mu monitors the regional channels and chat rooms, sharing any important news as soon as possible."

Su Mu nodded.

"Finally, there's Xiao Mu's other responsibility: combat." Su Qingxuan looked at her younger sister. "Your talent is that of a weapon master, and you are the strongest fighter among the four of us."

"You're in charge of figuring out how to improve overall combat strength, how to allocate weapons, and how to coordinate attacks."

Su Mu paused for two seconds, then said softly, "Okay."

Train number: D5612

[Level: 1]

Upgrade Requirements: 100 kg of wood, 100 kg of metal, 50 kg of mechanical parts

There are enough materials.

He clicked "confirm".

[Do you wish to use the following resources to upgrade the train?]

[100 kg of wood / 100 kg of metal / 50 kg of machine parts]

[Confirm/Cancel]

Shen Wen clicked "confirm".

The carriage gave a slight jolt.

It wasn't a violent shaking, but a dull tremor coming from deep within the floor, like some long-dormant machine finally starting to run.

The light patterns on the workbench surface flickered a few times.

The light outside the car door window distorted for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a mechanical voice rang in the minds of the four people—

As the first train conductor to achieve this, you will receive an additional reward: Train Module Card (Wilderness Grade)

[D3327 train - passenger - Yu Xiu: D5612? Interesting.]

The messages were rolling by, with countless people tagging @D5612, countless people sending private messages to apply, and countless people staring at that name, speculating, marveling, and feeling envious.

Inside the carriage, the four people had no time to pay attention to those things.

Shen Wen looked at the three options in front of him, then turned to the three people and asked, "Which one should we choose?"
