Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

Chapter 65 The Earth's Core Alliance! The Gold Rush is officially completed!

……

[Consumes 10 silver coins, Gatekeeper's Token x1]

[Simple minecart upgrade to 10/10!]

[Current mining truck level cap reached]

Lin You looked at the message and was filled with emotion.

From that boxy metal car on the first day to the fully upgraded mining truck it is today.

Although the appearance has not changed much, its various attributes are now completely different.

The excavation efficiency increased from 50% to 150%.

The fuel limit has jumped from 100 to 200.

Durability has also increased from the initial 100 to 300.

This mining cart accompanied him through every inch of the land from the first to the fifth floor.

But now, it's time for it to be reborn.

Just as Lin You was about to take out the S-class minecart blueprint he had been keeping for a long time from his backpack.

A notification suddenly interrupted his actions.

[Player "Lin You" has been detected to have upgraded the simple minecart to the maximum level.]

You have already been granted permission to create the "Central Earth Alliance".

This feature will be officially available to all players in 7 days.

At that time, all players will receive detailed instructions and operation guides.

[Would you like to see a preview of the features beforehand?]

Lin You was taken aback.

The Alliance of the Earth's Core?

He opened the preview and quickly browsed through it.

The feature preview contains very little content, only a few lines.

[Subterranean Alliance: Players can create or join alliances to share resources and intelligence]

[Partial transaction fees for cross-tier transactions can be waived among alliance members]

The alliance can create "caravans" and gain various exclusive buffs.

[More features will be unlocked as your alliance level increases...]

Lin You raised an eyebrow.

The alliance system, simply put, is a player guild.

Shared resources, reduced handling fees, and increased profits for the fleet.

Once it's officially released, it will definitely change the entire landscape of survival games.

However, Lin You was not in a hurry.

After all, it would take another week, by which time he should have already gone deep into the lower levels.

Moreover, with the title "Earth's Core Pioneer" in hand, transaction fees for cross-level transactions have long been waived.

The league doesn't hold much appeal for him.

"We'll see when the time comes."

Lin You kept this in mind and turned off the preview.

He then took a deep breath and took out the blueprint that shimmered with golden light from the innermost layer of his backpack.

S-class mining truck blueprints - Gold Miner.

He gently unfolded it and laid it on the control panel.

100 copper ingots, 50 iron ingots, 20 iron plates, 10 gears, 10 glass, and 10 gold coins.

All the materials are ready.

Lin You checked each item one by one, and after confirming that everything was correct, she pasted the blueprints onto the control panel of the minecart.

[The conditions required for the drawing have been met.]

Should the current "simple mining cart" be converted into the "Gold Miner's Cart"?

[Note: The modification process is irreversible; the makeshift minecart will be overwritten and cannot be restored.]

"Yes."

Lin You responded softly, without hesitation.

The next moment, the blueprints transformed into a shower of golden light, flooding into the minecart.

The entire mine cart was enveloped in a golden cocoon of light, emitting a deep, resonant sound.

It's like a giant beast that has been sleeping for a long time is awakening.

Lin You took a few steps back to create some distance.

The sounds of metal twisting, reforming, and fusing could be heard from within the "golden cocoon."

Through the translucent light membrane, he could vaguely see the carriage expanding and the body of the train stretching.

The drill bit on the front of the machine became thicker, and intricate mechanical patterns appeared on its surface.

New supports and interfaces extend from both sides of the carriage, as if space has been reserved for some kind of expansion module.

The whole process lasted about three minutes.

Three minutes later, the golden cocoon suddenly contracted, turning into specks of light and dissipating.

A brand-new mining cart appeared in front of Lin You.

His breath caught in his throat for a moment.

If we say that a simple mine cart is a square tin box

The Gold Rush was a behemoth clad in metal armor.

The car body is more than twice as long as before, and is made entirely of dark gold metal panels.

The drill bit at the front of the machine is a spiral cone with a three-bladed structure and finely engraved guide grooves on its surface.

The carriages on both sides are higher than before, and the interior space is significantly more spacious.

Lin You walked over and reached out to touch the car body.

It has a cool, metallic feel; it's thick and hard.

"...Awesome."

He hesitated for a long time before finally uttering only these two words.

Then he eagerly opened the car door and climbed into the driver's seat.

The interior space was so spacious that he felt a little uncomfortable.

It's like moving from a cramped bathroom into a spacious living room.

The interior space of the Gold Rush train is far more impressive than it appears from the outside!

The control panel was no longer a simple metal table, but a dark gold metal panel.

The top is neatly arranged with various buttons and levers, making it several times more complex than before.

But what surprised Lin You the most were the newly added auxiliary functions.

[Intermediate Exploration Radar: Automatically scans and marks the terrain and resources within a 300-meter radius]

[Automatic Collection Device: Automatically collects fallen ores and materials while the minecart is digging; a filter can be set.]

[Intermediate Expanded Storage: Minecarts come with 500 storage slots, and up to 100 of the same type of item can be stacked]

Looking at these three explanations, Lin You felt a sense of relief, as if all her hardships had finally come to an end.

No more stopping to pick up things.

No need to worry about insufficient storage space anymore.

There's no need to dig randomly in a certain direction based on gut feeling anymore.

A single radar scan reveals the resource points clearly.

Automatic collection; ore goes directly into the warehouse.

This isn't a mining cart, it's a mobile fortress!

He sat in the driver's seat, gripping the control lever.

The seats are wrapped in leather, which is so much more comfortable than that hard metal plate from before.

Flame Spirit jumped into the passenger seat and curiously sniffed the new leather.

Before upgrading the minecart, Lin You moved it and Vivian out to prevent any accidents.

"Meow?"

"This will be our new home from now on."

Lin You smiled and rubbed its head.

Vivian also peeked out from behind him, looking around.

Wow...it's so spacious!

The flower fairy happily flapped her wings and flew around the new carriage.

"Master, there's so much room for flower pots here!"

"We'll release them, and we'll set up a small plantation for you."

"Really? I'll look forward to it!"

Lin You leaned back in her new chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

From the first to the fifth level of the Earth's core, from simple mine carts to the Gold Miner.

This journey has not been easy.

But now, it was all worth it.

He sat up straight and turned on the mine cart radar.

[Enable radar scanning module?]

Each use consumes 50 fuel.

"50 fuel...that's not much."

Lin You thought for a moment and realized that 50 units of fuel could scan a radius of 300 meters, which was quite cost-effective.

The fuel savings alone are enough to break even.

"Enable scanning".

[Scanning nearby terrain... Scan complete!]

Soon, a circular area was revealed on the control panel, covered with dense markings.

[There are scattered copper deposits nearby, and an iron ore vein 50 meters away with an estimated capacity of 150 units. The rock density is higher to the southeast, possibly indicating a rocky area...]

After the radar automatically scanned the area, the surrounding terrain became clearly visible.

Resource points, paths, and obstacles are all clearly marked.

"Awesome!"

Lin You couldn't help but sigh again.

But he didn't rush to continue exploring.

Although the Gold Miner is completed, there are still many details that need to be familiarized with.

Moreover, we haven't finished our important business for today.

Write a travel guide.

He opened the forum's posting page and created a new post.

In the main text, he recalls every detail of his battle with the kobold shaman.

But he stopped halfway through writing.

"Hmm... there are still some things that are not certain."
