Chapter 21 – Viper-S Autocannon

There were still two privileges for reaching Level 1 that hadn’t been activated: the carriage and the water storage tank.

Now that he had leveled up again, these two privileges naturally became invalid.

Fortunately, he had received additional ranking and record-breaking rewards, so even though these two privileges weren’t activated, they wouldn’t affect him in any way.

Five minutes later, the train upgrade was complete!

The familiar system voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! Your train has successfully advanced to Level 2. Special reward: Free Attribute Points*2, Train Expansion Slot+1.]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You are the first player in the Server Zone to reach Level 2. Would you like to make a public announcement? Making a public announcement will reward you with: Radar Module*1.]

[Yes/No]

“Yes!”

Server Zone Announcement—

[Ding! Congratulations to player “Wuwang Kuangzun” for being the first in the Server Zone to reach Level 2. Special reward: Radar Module*1.]

[Ding!…]

[Ding!…]

The radar was an extremely important strategic Item, and this wasn’t just a single module but a Module with unlimited potential for future upgrades!

This was truly a great Item!

However, this wasn’t what Xiao Wuwang was most looking forward to.

Sure enough, the system voice sounded in his mind once again—

[Congratulations! You have broken the historical Level 2 upgrade Record. Would you like to make a public announcement? Making a public announcement will reward you with: Carriage1, Train Armament Expansion Card1.]

[Yes/No]

“Yes!”

Server-Wide Announcement—

[Ding! Congratulations to “Wuwang Kuangzun” from Server Zone 3052, Major Zone 086, for breaking the Level 1 upgrade Record and receiving a special reward: Carriage1, Train Armament Expansion Card1.]

[Ding!…]

[Ding!…]

Even after the announcement repeated three times, Xiao Wuwang still hadn’t fully processed it.

“It really is a Train Armament Expansion Card!”

After the newbie period, the wilderness wouldn’t be as safe as it was now, with the Train Protective Shield ensuring complete safety.

Once the newbie period ended, without the protection of the shield, trains could encounter attacks from various Monsters, Bone Demons, and even Mist Sprites while traveling in the wilderness. Without defensive measures, there was always the risk of perishing in the wild.

The presence of an Armament Carriage could provide the train with the greatest security!

If asked which of all the train carriage Expansion Cards was most desired, veteran players would undoubtedly choose the Train Armament Expansion Card without hesitation!

This was something many veteran players longed for but couldn’t obtain, and here Xiao Wuwang had gotten it on just the second day!

In his Previous Life, even though his strength wasn’t weak, he only obtained the Train Armament Expansion Card and equipped the Armament Carriage after his train reached Level 10.

Before that, whenever he encountered attacks from Monsters or Bone Demons in the wilderness, his train was never in good condition. It wasn’t until he equipped the Armament Carriage that the situation quickly improved.

This showed just how important the Armament Carriage was.

However, the Armament Carriage was also a major Gold sink. In his Previous Life, Xiao Wuwang exhausted all his resources just to barely upgrade the Armament Carriage to Level 8.

Of course, he didn’t need the Armament Carriage right now, but that didn’t stop him from loading it first.

After claiming the announcement rewards, a third carriage appeared behind the train.

Xiao Wuwang approached it and immediately used his Talent to upgrade it to Level 1, then installed the Train Armament Expansion Card into the Expansion Slot.

With that, the third carriage—the Armament Carriage—was successfully loaded.

A Level 1 Armament Carriage has 3 Weapon Slots, capable of loading three weapons or protective gear, providing the train with comprehensive defensive and offensive capabilities.

Installing melee weapons triggers automatic close-range attacks when enemies approach the train.

Installing ranged weapons enables automatic attacks on enemies within range.

Installing protective Equipment enhances the train’s defensive capabilities.

Generally, Armament Carriages prioritize installing ranged attack weapons, as preventing enemies from approaching or boarding the train is the greatest protection for it.

After understanding the Armament Carriage’s details, Xiao Wuwang made his way to the front of the train.

The Level 2 locomotive appeared more imposing than the Level 1 one, its sturdy exterior faintly gleaming with a metallic sheen.

Stepping inside the locomotive, the space had expanded further, now measuring 3×3 meters.

The central console no longer looked dilapidated, instead exuding an air of antiquity and grandeur.

Xiao Wuwang nodded in approval, then opened the Train Panel:

Train Conductor: [Wuwang Kuangzun]

Level: Level 2 (Upgrade Requirements: Wood1000, Iron500, Copper200, Mechanical Parts100, Train Upgrade Shard*20), Current Level Privileges (Expandable)

Speed: 20 km/h

Durability: 200/200

Expansion Slots: 2

Carriages: Level 1 Living Carriage1, Level 1 Storage Carriage1, Level 1 Armament Carriage*1

Modules: None

Modules: None

——————

Xiao Wuwang excitedly expanded the Level Privileges:

1. Train speed increased by 10 km/h (Infinite Coins*10)

2. Platform Docking Time +1 hour (Infinite Coins*10)

3. Viper-S Autocannon (Infinite Coins100, Iron200, Copper100, Rare Metal10, Mechanical Parts*10)

4. Mounted Early-Warning Detection Radar Device (Infinite Coins20, Iron20, Copper20, Rare Metal5, Mechanical Parts5, Electronic Components5)

——————

“No way? The Viper Autocannon actually appeared?” Xiao Wuwang felt a surge of joy in his heart.

At this stage, just seeing the requirement of 100 Infinite Coins indicated how extraordinary this item was.

[Viper-S Autocannon]

[Offensive Module]

[Can be installed in any carriage Expansion Slot or Armament Carriage Weapon Slot]

[Features two modes: gun and cannon]

[In gun mode, it has an extremely high rate of fire, capable of firing up to 1,000 rounds per minute, accurately striking mid-to-close range targets]

[In cannon mode, it delivers immense power with a longer attack range, each shell causing area-of-effect explosive damage]

“Whew~”

After reading the Viper-S Autocannon’s description, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

To describe it in one word—formidable!

It was important to note that this was a rare Offensive Module!

If installed in the locomotive, it would improve as the train’s Level increased, offering limitless potential in the future!

The fourth privilege—the Mounted Early-Warning Detection Radar Device—was also quite good.

[Mounted Early-Warning Detection Radar Device]

[Radar Component]

[Can only activate the component’s functions when installed on a radar]

[Once installed, it can provide early warnings of dangers in the wild and detect resources such as treasure chests and mineral deposits]

——————

It was worth noting that Xiao Wuwang had already received a Radar Module as a reward. As long as he gathered the required resources, he could directly activate the early-warning device.

Naturally, these were all excellent items, but… the resources required for them were truly staggering.

Among them, the most difficult to obtain were Infinite Coins.

There are generally three ways to obtain Infinite Coins: first, from Station Site Supply Crates; second, by completing Platform tasks and receiving rewards; and third, through trading.

The first method, Station Site Supply Crates, will definitely yield Infinite Coins. If one further upgrades the Supply Crate using their Talent, the amount of Infinite Coins produced inside the crate will increase—but the prerequisite is that he must actually find the Supply Crate!

Each Station Site Supply Crate is hidden in a different location, and these hiding spots are often quite difficult to discover.

In the first Platform everyone experienced earlier, everything was the same as in his Previous Life, with no differences at all. Xiao Wuwang could quickly and accurately locate the Supply Crate.

However, starting from the second Platform, each person’s experience will become different.

Some might still enter forested areas similar to logging camps; some might enter urban environments; some might find themselves in post-apocalyptic settings; some might step into sci-fi worlds; others might even venture into Western fantasy realms or other types of worlds—the possibilities are endless.

Moreover, Xiao Wuwang’s Level has already directly soared to Level 2. The next Platform he enters will be a Level 2 Platform, which certainly won’t be the same as in his Previous Life. The experience from his Previous Life’s second Platform will be completely useless.

Therefore, relying on searching for Supply Crates is not very realistic.

The second method is a relatively stable channel for obtaining Infinite Coins. The amount of Infinite Coins earned at each Station Site is tied to your performance within the site.

As for the third method, it’s not feasible for now.

Because this Server Zone has just opened, it’s likely that the vast majority of people are unaware of the existence of Supply Crates. Additionally, the completion rate for tasks in the second Platform probably won’t be high, so the Infinite Coins obtained will definitely be limited.

Even if a small number of people manage to acquire Infinite Coins, they likely won’t be willing to trade them easily.

“Should I reveal some information about Station Site Supply Crates in the Chat Channel?” Xiao Wuwang pondered to himself.
