Chapter 3 – Level ２ Weapon: Light Steel Axe

[Ding!]

[Talent triggered successfully, Fruit Knife upgraded to Black Iron Dagger!]

At the same time, Xiao Wuwang suddenly felt a wave of weariness wash over him. He couldn’t help but check his Fatigue Points—they had dropped by 15.

Still within an acceptable range. Fatigue Points and Health Points have a fixed maximum of 100. Increasing Constitution and Spirit can reduce consumption speed and improve recovery speed.

Xiao Wuwang adjusted slightly and shifted his focus back to the scene.

In just two breaths, the white light faded, revealing the true appearance of the Black Iron Dagger.

Compared to the Fruit Knife, the Black Iron Dagger had undergone significant changes.

The Black Iron Dagger was about 25 centimeters in total length, with a 15-centimeter blade and a 10-centimeter hilt. The blade was silver-gray, gleaming coldly on the surface—clearly much stronger than the Fruit Knife.

Xiao Wuwang pulled up its panel:

Item Name: Black Iron Dagger

Level: 1

Quality: Common

Durability: 40/40

Trait: Sharp +1

Description: A fairly sharp dagger. Do not lightly test its edge.

——————

Not only had it leveled up, but it also gained a Sharp trait!

Don’t underestimate just +1 Sharpness—with it, he could easily tear through the defenses of Level 1 monsters!

Combined with Combat Mastery, Xiao Wuwang was confident he could hold his own against Level 1 monsters, even achieving quick slays.

He twirled the dagger skillfully before storing it in his Portable Space with satisfaction.

Now, there was one last piece of equipment left—the fire axe—yet to be appraised.

After focusing on it for 3 seconds, the fire axe’s information appeared:

Item Name: fire axe

Level: 0

Quality: Fine

Durability: 20/20

Description: A finely crafted fire axe.

——————

This was actually a Fine-quality piece of equipment!

That meant it could be upgraded to Level 2 at most!

What a treasure!

Glancing at his Fatigue Points, Xiao Wuwang directly activated his Talent.

The fire axe smoothly upgraded to Level 1.

—Appraise!

Item Name: Black Iron Heavy Axe

Level: 1

Quality: Excellent

Durability: 40/40

Description: …

——————

No trait was triggered, which was expected.

Equipment with traits was relatively rare and generally didn’t appear in low-level gear.

Fatigue Points consumed another 15. Seeing he still had 68 Fatigue left, Xiao Wuwang estimated he could likely upgrade the axe one more level, so he continued to channel his Talent.

[Ding!]

[Talent triggered successfully, Black Iron Heavy Axe upgraded to Light Steel Axe!]

The axe had successfully leveled up, but Xiao Wuwang suddenly felt his head grow heavy, his body swaying uncontrollably as he nearly collapsed to the ground.

Realizing what was happening, he immediately pulled up his Personal Panel.

Sure enough, his Fatigue Points were now only 16!

This upgrade had consumed a whopping 52 Fatigue Points!

Xiao Wuwang was now slumped on the ground, weak all over and mentally exhausted.

These were the side effects of excessively low Fatigue Points.

When Fatigue Points fall below 60, a person’s strength, reaction speed, etc., gradually decline.

When Fatigue Points fall below 30, it affects mobility.

When Fatigue Points fall below 10, basic mobility is lost.

When Fatigue Points hit zero—death!

Still, no matter what, the axe’s upgrade was worth the extra Fatigue consumption!

Xiao Wuwang pulled up the Light Steel Axe’s panel:

Item Name: Light Steel Axe

Level: 2

Quality: Common

Durability: 80/80

Trait: Tough +1

Description: A tough and lightweight axe. Durability recovers slowly over time.

——————

After checking the attributes, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy—this was a minor treasure!

Made of light steel, it could reduce stamina consumption, and the Tough trait allowed the axe’s durability to slowly recover.

For chopping wood, this Light Steel Axe had an unparalleled advantage.

With this level 2 Light Steel Axe, he might actually have a chance to break the Upgrade Record!

“Hoo~”

Xiao Wuwang barely managed to suppress his excitement, and now drowsiness washed over him in waves. He really wanted to sleep, but he couldn’t yet—there was still one more thing to handle.

Xiao Wuwang opened the Chat Window.

The Chat Room was divided into Server Zone Chat Rooms and Private Chat Rooms.

No one had added him as a friend yet, so the Private Chat Room was naturally empty.

But the Server Zone Chat Room was already bustling with activity.

Server Zone 3052 Chat Room

Number of people: 10000/10000

Xiao Wuwang skimmed through the messages—many still hadn’t accepted reality.

【What kind of hellhole is this! Can we go back?】

【Everyone, don’t panic yet. Maybe this is just a prank?】

【A prank? Who would pull such a huge prank? And it feels way too real—I accidentally cut my arm earlier, and it still hurts.】

【Infinite Train Survival World? What kind of world is this? Is there a Big Shot who can explain?】

【Is this a novel coming to life? With names like “Infinite” and “Survival,” are we going to face brutal trials like in novels? Will many people die? I don’t want to die!!】

【Wooo… I was taking a shower and didn’t even have time to put on clothes before being sent here. Please, if anyone has extra clothes, send me some!】

【Everyone, calm down. We really have crossed over!】

【Crackle! Crossed over? Good! Great! No more dealing with the boss’s attitude tomorrow!】

【Same here! I won’t have to worry about monthly mortgage or car payments anymore!】

【Damn! I just paid the bride price to my girlfriend’s family, and we were supposed to get married next week. The money’s gone, and I haven’t even slept with her! Who understands this feeling?】

【By the way, what did you all get from your Novice Gift Packs? I only got a pack of biscuits and a bottle of Purified Water.】

【At least you have some food. I got a stone that seems useless!】

【I also got a card, but I don’t know what it’s for.】

【Hehe! I got a long knife. My sense of security just shot up.】

…

The messages were scrolling rapidly.

Xiao Wuwang organized his thoughts and began repeatedly posting in the group.

Wuwang Kuangzun: 【Clothes, food, water, knives in exchange for various cards and Items. Interested parties, Private Message me!】

Wuwang Kuangzun: 【Clothes…】

…

Sure enough, a few Private Messages soon popped up.

Sob Sob I’ll Just Wash Up: 【Big Brother, can you give me some food? I’m so thirsty and hungry!】

Meichuan Kuzi: 【Big Brother, I have a card. I want to trade it for a set of clothes, a bottle of water, and some food.】

Peppy Girl I’m the Bustiest: 【Big Shot, please take care of me, picture.jpg】

Farmer’s Three Punches: 【Stone for a knife. What kind of knife do you have?】

Wangzai Little Brat: 【Do you know any inside information? If you can tell me something valuable, I can give you this Basic Portable Space Expansion Card, picture.jpg】

Would Wed the God of Wealth Even as a Concubine: “Wow, Big Shot, your nickname is so domineering! This humble girl can be both fierce and sweet, willing to serve you in any capacity. I only ask that you offer me a bit of protection. I have a strange fragment here—I wonder if it might catch your eye. [image.jpg]”
