Chapter 73 – Plundering Talents

Eight trains stopped beside Xiao Wuwang’s train, blocking his path in all directions.

Crazy Stone and the others drew their weapons and stepped off their trains.

Xiao Wuwang knew that close combat was imminent.

But he showed not a trace of fear. Turning to Han Xing, he said, “They’re all yours!”

“Yes!” Han Xing replied calmly with a single word, then strode directly off the train.

Seeing a “cold and beautiful woman” step down from Xiao Wuwang’s train, Crazy Stone guessed she must be his servant and ordered, “Kill her first!”

However, before they could even fire, Han Xing’s pace accelerated.

Bang!

Bang!

…

A barrage of bullets flew toward Han Xing. She didn’t dodge them all, but the lethal bullets that would have killed an ordinary person merely left silvery-white dents on her body, which healed in the blink of an eye, causing no real damage.

Han Xing moved like lightning, charging into the Sun-Eclipsing Alliance’s Camp in an instant.

At the same time, Xiao Wuwang took his position at a firing port.

From his elevated vantage point, he quickly locked onto one of them.

Bang!

Xiao Wuwang’s gunshot rang out like a thunderclap. But Negative Red Health, still stunned by Han Xing’s display, suddenly felt a chill on his forehead and collapsed straight to the ground.

Instant kill!

“Watch out! He’s shooting from the train!” Crazy Stone roared.

The others dared not expose themselves.

But hiding didn’t mean they were safe.

Without the cover of gunfire, Han Xing swiftly circled around a train and suddenly appeared before Great Harry Potter.

Seeing Han Xing’s utterly expressionless face, Great Harry Potter was terrified. He hastily threw his weapon to the ground, raised both hands, and stammered, “B-beauty, I… I surrender! Don’t… don’t kill me!”

But Han Xing felt no emotion whatsoever; its programming contained only the mission.

Pfft!

With a single hand chop, Han Xing severed Great Harry Potter’s head.

After killing one, it immediately moved toward the next target.

The remaining six had surrounded Xiao Wuwang from different directions, so they were somewhat spaced apart. They only saw Han Xing invade Great Harry Potter’s hiding spot but didn’t know his fate.

Crazy Stone called out in the group chat: “Harry! What’s your situation over there?”

However, before Great Harry Potter could reply, another voice sounded in the chat.

Stocking Singh: “Harry’s been killed! That woman is a Monster! Bullets can’t kill her! Everyone…”

It was then that everyone noticed Stocking Singh’s voice cut off abruptly, and his avatar instantly turned gray!

This was the mark of death!

Now, three avatars in the group had already turned gray!

Wuwang Kuangzun remained completely unscathed, while three on their side had died!

And it wasn’t over yet.

The avatars of Lonely Wolf and Cat-Eating Fish also darkened one after another.

Only then did the remaining three realize they had kicked an incredibly hard Iron plate this time—Wuwang Kuangzun’s strength far exceeded their imagination.

Cold sweat beaded on Crazy Stone’s forehead, his heart filled with shock and fury. “What do we do?”

He never imagined that what he thought would be an easy siege had turned into such a brutal and devastating situation.

But with things having reached this point, he knew there was no turning back. Within the half-hour sealed by the Boundary Stone, it was either kill or be killed. Once they retreated, only death awaited them.

Crazy Stone’s eyes flashed with resolve, and he immediately made a decision: “Everyone, get on the train! Ram him to death!”

Upon hearing this, Immortal God King and Dora B-Dream wasted no time returning to the locomotive and starting their trains.

However, only two trains charged toward Xiao Wuwang’s train.

The other one—Dora B-Dream’s train—drove straight in the opposite direction, clearly intending to flee.

“Xiao Wu!”

With just a soft call from Xiao Wuwang, Xiao Wu instantly understood his intention.

Three Antimatter Particle Beams shot toward the three moving trains.

Not long after the beams penetrated their locomotives, a deafening explosion erupted from the three train fronts, rapidly tearing them apart!

With their power lost, the newly started trains slid only a short distance along the tracks before coming to a halt.

Thus, all eight members of the “Sun-Eclipsing Alliance” were completely wiped out!

Next came Xiao Wuwang’s moment to collect the spoils of war!

This wasn’t the Platform World; slaying enemies in the wild meant not only acquiring their Supply Crates but also reclaiming all resources on their trains, including the trains themselves.

Leaving the Supply Crates aside for now.

All eight trains were Level 3, each with roughly 7 to 10 carriages. However, these were mostly basic carriages used solely to store various collected materials. Without Storage Carriages, each carriage was packed full, messy and disorganized.

Xiao Wuwang didn’t mind the trouble, making trip after trip to transfer all the resources from their trains to his own Storage Carriage.

Once tallied, the results brought a wide smile to his face.

In basic resources, he obtained a total of: Wood23,500, Iron3,680, Copper925, Rare Metal622, Glass988, Plastic1,050, Mechanical Parts621, Electronic Components388, Silver120, Gold85, Sulfur880, Gunpowder80, 60 barrels of 100L gasoline, 50 barrels of 100L diesel, and 500 units of various food supplies.

Additionally, there were:

Train Upgrade Shards*115;

Intelligent Chips*4;

Various firearms and ammunition of Levels 0 and 1;

Basic Acceleration Cards2, Intermediate Acceleration Card1;

Level 1 Excellent Quality Crafting Station*1;

Generator*1;

Level 2 Giant Strength Pill recipe, and other relatively valuable items.

Most of the high-quality items were found on Crazy Stone’s train.

This couldn’t help but make Xiao Wuwang’s thoughts race. “Could he have been blessed by the luck of the draw? Or perhaps…”

As if struck by an idea, Xiao Wuwang immediately rushed to Crazy Stone’s corpse, pulled out the Talent Plunder Card, and attempted to activate it.

Sure enough, a system voice rang out—

[Ding!]

[Detected Talent—King of Chests. Plunder?]

[Yes/No]

Xiao Wuwang opened the talent details and learned it had two Traits: first, the daily probability of encountering chests was twice as high as others; second, three chests of the same level could be synthesized into one chest of a higher level!

“No!”

Although this talent was excellent, Xiao Wuwang temporarily canceled the action.

There were still seven others on the scene; perhaps one of them also possessed a talent.

So he checked them one by one, and indeed, on Immortal God King and Dora B-Dream, he detected two more Talents.

They were Star Dragon Body and Chosen Miner.

Star Dragon Body granted an additional 2 points of Constitution per level.

Chosen Miner increased mining gains tenfold.

The extra 2 points of Constitution from Star Dragon Body didn’t impress Xiao Wuwang.

Chosen Miner, however, made him somewhat tempted.

In the future, if he could find high-value mineral deposits, the returns would be extremely substantial.

But compared to King of Chests, Xiao Wuwang hesitated again.
