That's amazing survival skills!

"Damn, this is outrageous!"

Lin Yuan was so angry that his teeth itched. He was completely unprepared and was tricked out of ten survival points by this damned shop, which was a whole thousand units of wood!

That was the stockpile he painstakingly chopped out, one axe blow at a time!

I've been scammed like this, damn it!

The four of them soon reunited and left the store.

"I saw the alloy." Wang Xi hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh. "The price is simply beyond our reach."

"How many?"

"Fifty survival points, one unit."

Lin Yuan gasped.

Fifty survival points, one unit. They need ten units of survival points to upgrade, which is five hundred survival points.

Even if we exchange iron for survival points, at a rate of 100 units for 1 point, it would still require a full 50,000 units of iron!

Given such a terrifying quantity, it would probably require most people to gather enough to exchange for it.

"That's really bad," Han Miao couldn't help but exclaim after assessing the damage.

"Forget it, let's see if anyone else has the alloy." Wang Xi frowned. "Trading this from someone else will cost far less than buying it from a store."

The three women nodded and silently walked towards the subway.

Although it seems safe here, they don't know how many eyes are watching them, or whether they will run into trouble if they go out.

It's better to go back to the subway; showing less face will reduce a lot of trouble.

The current situation is not as safe as it was on Earth!

Lin Yuan escorted the three women back to the subway station and then strolled around the area.

Many subways still appeared out of nowhere in the distance. Most of them were still at level 1, and their protective capabilities and strength were simply insufficient. The number of level 2 subways was considered average.

As for the current highest level LV3, it is ultimately only a very small number!

The number of subway lines has increased, and the number of passengers has increased accordingly.

The situation described by that man is ultimately a minority; most people maintain a corresponding distance and do not overstep their bounds.

Looking at this situation, Lin Yuan had a feeling that a lot was going to happen.

"Linzi, is that you?"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yuan turned around to look in the direction of the sound.

A man who was 1.82 meters tall stepped out from the crowd. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. His muscles were bulging, and the cuffs of his short sleeves were stretched taut. His exposed thigh muscles were particularly thick.

From a distance, the other party was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

"Dog!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Lin Yuan stepped forward and gave them a bear hug.

"Holy crap, I thought you were dead. I never expected to see you here." Li Yungou slapped Lin Yuan's back hard. "Damn it, I haven't even figured out what's going on yet, and I'm already here."

"My phone wasn't working and there was no signal. I was really scared."

"I didn't expect you to still be alive," Lin Yuan joked with a smile.

"Come on, let's talk in the car."

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

Li Yungou led Lin Yuan toward the many subway stations.

The LV2 subway in front of us is significantly larger than Lin Yuan's, and it even shows early signs of being LV3. It's not very obvious in the silver-white area, but you can still see its condition.

"Are you preparing to advance to level three?"

"Hehe." Li Yungou scratched his head. "Yeah, that was the plan, but when I heard that the next area was a safe zone, I decided to hold off for now. I've already put some of the materials in."

The car door opened, and the two got in.

Lin Yuan didn't expect that Li Yungou was so lucky; the car was full of his own family members, and there was no one else in sight.

"Hello, Uncle, Aunt, and Little Brother."

Li Yungou's parents and younger brother naturally recognized Lin Yuan and greeted him with smiles.

"Here, you must have been starving." Li Yungou took a fresh apple from the refrigerator and handed it to him. "This kind of thing wasn't expensive before, but it's extremely precious now."

Lin Yuan naturally didn't stand on ceremony with him. After taking it, she wiped it on her clothes, took a bite, and found it crisp and sweet.

"It tastes really good."

"By the way, who's in your car? What kind of talent did they awaken?" Li Yungou took out an apple, took a bite, and looked a little disgusted.

He seemed a little tired of the apples that were precious to others.

"My awakened talent is like something out of a wish-fulfillment novel," Li Yungou chuckled. "My critical strike talent isn't random; it's a full five times the critical strike chance!"

Li Yunhou was about to stop him, but his older brother spoke too quickly and revealed his skills.

I immediately realized that my brother was missing a screw in his head.

In just three short days, they encountered so many dangerous situations, yet they still haven't learned to warn him?

"You're quite honest," Lin Yuan said with a smile, feeling a warmth in his heart at his good brother's candor.

In today's world, there are very few people who share Li Yungou's mentality.

Lin Yuan didn't intend to hide it from the other party, and opened her palm.

The four looked at his palm and found that it was still just an ordinary palm, with no difference whatsoever.

As Lin Yuan silently recited the mantra, fields appeared in his palm.

"This is my field; I can grow things here."

"Actually... it's not bad." After being stunned, Li Yungou patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, preparing to offer some words of comfort.

I think so too.

Seeing Lin Yuan's completely undefeated state, Li Yungou chuckled. He hadn't expected that Lin Yuan, who had comforted him before and even invited him to wash his feet, would have the same positive attitude now.

"You haven't even had a chance to level up to level three yet, so stop now."

"Why?" Li Yunhou asked, somewhat displeased.

Why should they stop upgrading right away?!

Did you notice that the subway after the third level not only changed in appearance, but also that the interior space is more spacious?

"What is your current level?" Li Yunhou coldly scanned Lin Yuan.

I used to think my brother was a pretty good friend, but now I see him as still not so great. He only knows how to slow my brother down. Will he have to borrow materials from my brother again later?

My current level is level 2.

Despite Li Yunhou's changed attitude, Lin Yuan's mindset remained unchanged, maintaining the same attitude as before: "I have enough materials for the upgrade long ago, and I could have upgraded long ago if I wanted to."

"Xiao Lin, why haven't you leveled up yet?" Li Zhanghe asked.

People become shrewd with age.

Judging from the fact that the initial environment was simple and the upgrade made it spacious and unlocked more features, the higher the subway level, the better.

But why doesn't he upgrade?

"Because the upgrade has hidden conditions that can make the subway stronger," Lin Yuan said to Li Zhanghe, "it requires ten alloy materials."

"I believe you understand the principle of 'one step forward leads to continuous progress.'"

Li Zhanghe nodded.

"Is this the alloy you're talking about?" Li Yungou took out a piece of silvery-white alloy from his backpack and placed it in his palm.

The alloy was quite heavy, as could be seen from the bulging muscles on Li Yungou's forearm.

Lin Yuan nodded.

Lin Yuan was surprised that his good brother could actually get this, but since his talent is five times critical strike, he probably couldn't afford much more, so he didn't plan to ask for it.

[Li Yungou has requested to add you as a friend. Do you accept?]

"Yes."

Li Yungou has become your friend.

[Li Yungou is offering you 10 alloy pieces. Would you like to accept?]

"no."

"Linzi, why did you return the prize to me?" Li Yungou looked at the returned alloy and was somewhat confused.

"You have more of this stuff?" Lin Yuan was speechless. "This stuff is definitely for your own subway upgrades first. What's the point of giving it to me?"

Zhang Yan listened to the conversation between the four people from beginning to end without interrupting, simply listening silently.

Hearing that her eldest son was going to give away what he had worked so hard for for free, she became restless and was about to move when her wrist was grabbed.

She turned her head and saw her own husband.

Li Zhanghe shook his head at his wife, indicating that she should not make a fuss and that it was entirely up to their son to decide.

Li Yunhou didn't say anything, but just sighed silently.

I don't understand why you'd be willing to give away something so valuable. Wouldn't it be better to just put it in the chat channel to exchange for other resources?

Since this alloy is one of the hidden conditions.

Li Yunhou turned his head and looked at the shop that was surrounded by a lot of people.
