Chapter 22 – Nameless Fragment

Revealing the information about the Supply Crates could greatly increase everyone’s chances of obtaining them, thereby boosting the number of Infinite Coins in the Server Zone and raising the likelihood of them being offered for trade.

As long as he could provide the scarce resources or powerful Equipment that everyone desired, he would be able to exchange them for Infinite Coins.

With his Talent, he doubted many could compete with him!

From this perspective, it would benefit him in collecting more Infinite Coins.

After a brief contemplation, Xiao Wuwang came up with an idea.

He opened the Chat Channel.

At that moment, the chat area was rapidly scrolling with messages.

The focus of everyone’s discussion still revolved around Xiao Wuwang reaching Level 2 and breaking the Record.

Dora B-Dream: [@Wuwang Kuangzun, envious of the Big Shot breaking another Record!]

Even as Dora B-Dream said this, the fury in his heart was almost impossible to conceal.

No one knew he possessed a Talent—Mining with 10x Harvest!

Any minerals he mined would yield an additional nine times the amount!

He was well aware of his advantage; if he could discover a mineral deposit, he might soar to great heights!

Thus, throughout the journey of the train, he kept his eyes fixed on the road conditions, and by sheer coincidence, he happened to spot an Iron deposit.

Although the Safe Radius only covered a corner of the Iron deposit, it was enough to fill him with delight.

Mining one piece of ore was equivalent to obtaining ten!

This feeling thrilled him beyond words.

And from just this corner of the deposit, he managed to harvest 1480 Units of Iron and 60 Units of Rare Metal!

Next, he used his ample Iron to Redeem a considerable amount of resources.

Unfortunately, the Iron in his possession was too limited in variety, preventing him from promptly acquiring the resources needed to reach Level 2.

After finishing his meal and preparing to rest, he opened the Chat Channel and suddenly noticed everyone discussing something about Wild Bull Meat.

He then switched to the Trading House and saw 90 portions of Wild Bull Meat still listed.

What excited him was that the Wild Bull Meat could be exchanged for Iron, so he immediately Redeemed all of it.

He also knew how to make the most of his resources. After securing the 90 portions of Wild Bull Meat, he promptly relisted them on the Trading House, using them to Redeem the upgrade resources he lacked.

At the time, he wasn’t missing many upgrade resources—only 50 Units of Wood and 2 Train Upgrade Shards.

With the Wild Bull Meat, collecting Wood went smoothly, and he quickly gathered enough. Even the final two Train Upgrade Shards gradually became attainable.

When he finally managed to acquire the last two Train Upgrade Shards at a considerable cost and gathered all the resources, he didn’t even bother with the four Level 1 upgrade Privileges, upgrading directly without Activating any of them.

Just as he was two minutes away from a successful upgrade, he suddenly heard the Announcement that Xiao Wuwang had successfully leveled up and broken another Record. For him, it was nothing short of a bolt from the blue!

“Just two minutes short!!”

“How infuriating! How hateful!”

“If he hadn’t taken that step, perhaps I would have been the one to break the Record!!”

Watching everyone in the group flattering Wuwang Kuangzun, Dora B-Dream’s resentment and anger were practically overflowing from the screen.

Yet it never occurred to him that the reason he was able to gather the remaining resources so quickly was precisely because of the Wild Bull Meat provided by Xiao Wuwang.

He could only blame his slightly worse luck!

In truth, it was fortunate that Xiao Wuwang acted decisively. Upon realizing Dora B-Dream’s intentions, he immediately used an axe with added Traits to quickly acquire the final Train Upgrade Shard.

Otherwise, if he had been just two minutes later and let Dora B-Dream snatch the first-upgrade reward and record-breaking reward, he would probably have coughed up a mouthful of old blood.

Immortal God King: [@Dora B-Dream, are you being sincere with what you just said?]

Great Harry Potter: [@Dora B-Dream, you’ve been exchanging Iron for all sorts of resources in the group since evening. You must have been at a critical stage of upgrading too, but who would have thought Wuwang Kuangzun would beat you to it. You must be feeling pretty frustrated, huh? Haha!]

Crazy Stone: [@Dora B-Dream, how do you have so much Iron on hand? Any tips for gathering so many resources? Share with us!]

Stocking Singh: [@Dora B-Dream, +1, please share!]

I Pardon Thy Shot: [@Dora B-Dream, +1, please share!]

Iron Man: [@Dora B-Dream, +1, please share!]

…

Then came a long, neat queue.

Seeing so many people @ him, Dora B-Dream couldn’t pretend not to notice. After all, he still planned to sell various ores and minerals in the group in the future. If he wanted others to buy from him, he had to maintain a good persona in the group.

Dora B-Dream: [I just got lucky. My train happened to pass by an Iron mine during its journey, and it was a rich deposit at that. I broke several pickaxes digging it up, which is why I collected more Iron.]

Dora B-Dream: [@Eastern Spider, just like he said back then, you must keep your eyes wide open and watch the road ahead while the train is moving. If you notice anything unusual, stop in time. Maybe you’ll discover mineral deposits or resource points too!]

Overlord Don’t Rush: [I’m so envious of you two. One sells water, the other sells Iron—both raking in huge profits.]

Zhiwu Zhu: [Original panties, intimate bras, photos, chatting, easing loneliness—private messages are open, waiting for you~~]

Would Wed the God of Wealth Even as a Concubine: [@Zhiwu Zhu, damn! I admit I’m materialistic, but I bow down to you. At most, I’d sell some panties, bras, photos… As for the rest… if any brother offers enough resources, it’s not entirely impossible.]

Please Call Me Professor: [Ridiculous! What kind of time is this, and you’re still here chattering about useless things? Though I may lack talent, I’m confident that in terms of knowledge and research, I surpass all of you in this group. If you have any unidentified items, feel free to send them to me. I’ll help you research them for free and will definitely provide feedback if there’s any progress!]

Duan Zhengchun: [@Please Call Me Professor, are you serious? I have an unknown fragment (not a Train Upgrade Shard) and don’t know what it’s for. Can you take a look for me? Image.jpg]

Please Call Me Professor: [@Duan Zhengchun, I’d need the actual item to research and determine the result. You can mail it to me, and I’ll return it to you once I’ve finished studying it.]

Negative Red Health: [Haha! To think there are still such naive fools in this day and age—live long enough and you’ll see everything!]

Wu Jiechao: [@Please Call Me Professor, your scheming is so obvious it’s practically slapping me in the face!]

Stocking Singh: [@Duan Zhengchun, I’m a genuine Tsinghua University doctoral candidate. My research abilities are definitely stronger than that fake professor’s. You’d be better off handing it to me for research. I swear on my character that if I discover anything, I’ll tell you honestly and won’t keep it to myself!]

Lonely Wolf: [@Duan Zhengchun, damn! I’m an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences…]

Please Call Me Professor: [@Duan Zhengchun, don’t listen to their nonsense. Although I dare not claim to be an academic giant, in this group, when it comes to knowledge and research rigor, no one can surpass me. Hand the fragment over to me!]

Xiao Wuwang, who had been lurking for a while, couldn’t help but slightly narrow his pupils when he saw the fragment photo posted by “Duan Zhengchun.”

This thing has actually surfaced so early!
