Chapter 13 – Modifying the Carriage

Finally, Xiao Wuwang managed to set up the trade information.

He himself felt even more exhausted.

Now that his Fatigue Points were too low, only sleep could quickly restore them.

But before sleeping, he still needed to fill his stomach to maximize the recovery speed.

Xiao Wuwang opened a bottle of milk and drank it while setting up an iron pot, adding water, and fetching Wood to start a fire.

He really didn’t have the energy to cook properly now, so instant noodles were the most convenient and quickest option.

When the water boiled, Xiao Wuwang cooked all three remaining packs of Braised Beef Noodles.

The noodles were soon ready.

Xiao Wuwang focused and appraised them:

[Braised Beef Noodles]

Trait: Instant noodles prepared by a high-level chef using semi-finished ingredients. Eating a full bowl can increase Fatigue Points recovery speed by 5%.

——————

After reading the Trait Description, Xiao Wuwang sighed slightly. The semi-finished food didn’t allow his proficient cooking skills to fully shine, only providing an additional 5% boost to Fatigue Points recovery speed.

But it didn’t matter. He estimated that a good sleep would restore his Fatigue Points to full.

After finishing the noodles, ignoring the occasional messages popping up in the Chat Window, he went to the second carriage, found a flat spot, laid down a yoga mat, and went straight to sleep.

He was too tired.

Xiao Wuwang slept until 4 p.m.! Waking up slowly, he felt refreshed and clear-headed. Opening his Personal Panel, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.

…

Fatigue Points: 100/100

…

Base Attributes—

Constitution: 11.5

Spirit: 18.2

Free Attribute Points: 2

… (To avoid padding, unchanged information will be omitted from now on)

——————

His Fatigue Points had finally recovered to full, while his Constitution increased by 0.7 and his Spirit also increased by 0.1.

Although his Base Attributes were still growing, the rate of increase was beginning to slow.

This was because his body was starting to adapt to the Crimson Flame Bear’s blood. It was foreseeable that simply drinking the Crimson Flame Bear’s blood directly would gradually become less effective.

Still, this was enough to make him stand out among the same batch of players, with attributes far surpassing theirs.

As long as he could stay ahead of this group, he could gain more resources and advantages, further solidifying his leading position.

As for the 2 Free Attribute Points gained from leveling up, Xiao Wuwang wasn’t planning to use them for now.

After understanding his attributes, Xiao Wuwang used his Talent on the two newly added carriages one by one to raise their Levels.

Raising both carriages to Level 1 consumed a total of 28 Fatigue Points.

After the carriages were upgraded to Level 1, their interior space expanded to 5×10 meters, and each gained an Expansion Slot.

In the second carriage, Xiao Wuwang inserted the Living Carriage Expansion Card into the Expansion Slot.

As soon as the Living Carriage Expansion Card was Activated, Xiao Wuwang’s ears instantly became quiet—the “Clatter clatter” sound of the train moving was blocked by 80%.

The Living Carriage, as the name suggests, was a place for the Train Conductor to live, and its purpose was to create a comfortable environment.

In addition to soundproofing and noise reduction, the Train Conductor could also plan and modify the carriage according to their own ideas, dividing the space into a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc. Of course, each modification required investing resources.

If conditions permit, it could even be transformed into an ultra-luxury mobile residence in the future, making the journey no longer just monotonous travel but an enjoyable experience filled with the essence of life.

Of course, this is beyond Xiao Wuwang’s current reach.

Even if it were possible, in the early stages, he wouldn’t be willing to invest so many resources into comfort.

But some essentials, such as a bed, a simple kitchen, and a basic bathroom, still need to be arranged first.

For this, he spent 80 units of Wood and 40 units of Iron.

The Living Carriage has been initially improved. Resting here now provides an additional 10% boost to Fatigue Points recovery speed.

This is the benefit of better living conditions!

With the Living Carriage renovation complete, Xiao Wuwang moved to the third carriage. Naturally, the Expansion Slot of this carriage would be used for that Infinite Storage Expansion Card.

Once the Infinite Storage Carriage Expansion Card was installed, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but immediately pull up its information:

【Infinite Storage Carriage】

Level: 1

Expansion Slots: 1 (Used)

Storage Cell Count: 50

Description: Each cell can store only one type of item, with unlimited stacking capacity.

——————

After reviewing the carriage information, Xiao Wuwang felt a slight sense of disappointment.

It wasn’t the infinite space he had most hoped for, but merely unlimited stacking within cells. This meant the storage carriage could hold a maximum of only 50 types of items.

However, upon second thought, this was actually quite powerful.

In the future, the materials required for train upgrades would become increasingly abundant, often numbering in the hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands. Ordinary storage cards had a cell limit of 100, and even with a storage limit expansion card, it would only increase to 1,000. In the future, a single type of material could occupy several cells, making space far from sufficient. This was why, in the mid to late stages, many people’s trains often had dozens of carriages, with a significant portion being storage carriages used to hold supplies.

Having more train carriages wasn’t always better. More carriages meant higher energy consumption and greater defensive pressure.

Now, with the Infinite Storage Carriage, although it only had 50 cells, its storage capacity would increase as the carriage leveled up. Additionally, storage unit expansion cards could be installed. In the future, Xiao Wuwang might only need one storage carriage to meet all his storage needs.

With this thought, Xiao Wuwang’s last bit of disappointment vanished.

After organizing and storing all his resources in the carriage, Xiao Wuwang took out the QBU-191 Precision Rifle Blueprint.

Trigger Talent!

After a shimmering glow, the blueprint upgraded to Level 1.

Once it reached Level 1, Xiao Wuwang stopped. He had tested it earlier—the blueprint could still be upgraded, but the Fatigue Points required exceeded his limit. In the short term, unless his Base Attributes saw a significant improvement, he likely wouldn’t be able to upgrade this blueprint further.

He then approached the Crafting Station, placed the QBU-191 Precision Rifle Blueprint on it, and with a flash of light, the blueprint disappeared.

At the same time, a new craftable item appeared in the Crafting Station—the QBU-191 Precision Rifle (Modified).

【QBU-191 Precision Rifle (Modified)】

Level: 1

Description: The modified QBU-191 Precision Rifle has been significantly improved in terms of damage, range, firing rate, stability, and magazine capacity. To produce one QBU-191 Precision Rifle (Modified), the following materials are required: Iron10 units, Copper2 units, Rare Metal*1 unit.

——————

Now that the gun is available, it cannot serve its purpose without ammunition.

Therefore, until the ammunition blueprint is obtained, even if this rifle is manufactured, it would merely be a decorative piece.

However, Xiao Wuwang is in no hurry. The current difficulty level of the Survival World does not yet require the use of the QBU-191 Precision Rifle.

After dealing with the blueprint, Xiao Wuwang finally has time to start handling the messages from the Trading House and the Chat Channel.
