After putting away the silver chest, a train abruptly materialized at the edge of the platform.
“This is… our train.”
Mu Bai recognized it instantly.
It wasn’t just the unusual length of the train; even the layout behind the doors was identical.
There was no mistaking it.
Luo Huang could tell at a glance that this train was definitely no lower than Level 3.
Furthermore, even for a Level 3 train, if one were to fully consider resource utilization, there would be no need to build so many carriages!
Six carriages.
Although train upgrades always had a rigid requirement to use newly acquired blueprints, aside from the two carriages used as research labs, there were a full four functional carriages.
Luo Huang couldn’t even imagine how abundant Mu Bai and her team’s construction resources must be.
‘So envious!’
‘Not to mention now that she’s alone, even when her teammates were still around, collecting building materials was a hassle… Surely you wouldn’t trade precious upgrade materials for building materials, would you?’
“Let’s add each other as friends.”
Mu Bai opened the system interface and searched for Luo Huang in the private chat function, sending a friend request.
“Okay!”
Luo Huang immediately accepted.
Checking Mu Bai’s personal information on the private chat page confirmed it displayed a Level 4 train.
Luo Huang hesitated, wanting to ask how Mu Bai’s team had managed to collect enough upgrade resources so quickly.
She held back her question after a moment’s thought.
If it was simply due to luck and strength, that was one thing. But if it involved some kind of secret, it would be overstepping.
She hadn’t joined the team yet, and getting Mu Bai and her teammates on guard for no good reason wouldn’t be worth it.
Regardless, they definitely weren’t Raiders.
Given the greed and moral bankruptcy of Raiders, they wouldn’t be kind enough to use a life-saving trump card to heal her wounds and then take her through the trial with them.
She had to consider that she was wearing protective items herself.
Given that she had revealed so many train coins upon their first meeting, Mu Bai couldn’t have overlooked the possibility of her having items as well.
Judging by the appearances and combat strength of Mu Bai and her three teammates, it seemed more likely that they often fended off attacks from Raiders, counter-killed them, and thus obtained so many upgrade materials.
In any case, she was just relieved they weren’t Raiders.
Luo Huang absolutely detested that kind of team.
In the environment of a survival game, choosing to abandon one’s principles to live better was understandable, but it also meant giving up one’s humanity.
Luo Huang couldn’t even sleep soundly if she were to associate with such people.
This was one of the reasons she was so drawn to Mu Bai’s team.
“Alright, we have to go now. See you around.”
Mu Bai waved her hand and followed her teammates into the train.
“Yeah, see you next time.”
Luo Huang bid farewell.
Although she was a bit disappointed and regretful that she couldn’t join Mu Bai’s team, the insecurity that had plagued her heart since her teammates left was finally somewhat settled.
Having reached a cooperation agreement with Mu Bai, at least she would have a teammate for the next Killing Station.
Even if they weren’t comrades fighting side-by-side yet, it was still much safer than being alone.
Back on the train, Mu Bai and the others took stock of their gains.
Aside from the two types of potions that temporarily increased a single attribute, the most noteworthy item they obtained in this station was a Poor Egg Dragon Egg.
This thing was a high-quality ingredient.
When cooked into food, it could permanently increase several attribute points for all four team members.
Although it was a bit of a drop in the bucket compared to the Gene Enhancement Serum, they were still permanent attribute points!
Many a little makes a mickle!
What was even more surprising was that the effect of this Poor Egg Dragon Egg was to increase Mental Power.
As their experiences in the survival game increased, the importance of the spirit attribute had gradually become apparent.
Of course, this was already common knowledge.
But after meeting Luo Huang in this trial station, the importance of the spirit attribute had once again refreshed Mu Bai’s understanding.
Could you believe that if your mental power wasn’t high enough, someone could directly decide to kill you with their mind?
Luo Huang’s kind of talent was certainly rare, but who could guarantee they wouldn’t encounter an enemy with a similar talent or item?
This stirred up Mu Bai’s sense of crisis.
Ever since they formed the team, she hadn’t felt this lack of control over her own fate in a long time.
After being enhanced by Zombie Crystals, her own spirit was at 22 points.
According to Luo Huang, her mental power was higher than Luo Huang’s.
So, Luo Huang’s spirit attribute was tentatively placed at around 20.
Ye Yin’s attribute enhancement from the crystals was also spirit.
She was now at 12 points, which was much higher than the average player’s mental power.
She was safe.
Tang Shifu was also fine, with 11 spirit points.
She wouldn’t be directly killed by Luo Huang.
As for Mo Cha’s 9 points… that was hard to evaluate.
The spirit attribute of most players didn’t exceed ten.
Compared to the three basic physical attributes, the average value was far too low.
While 9 points was considered above average among the player base, it wasn’t even half of the initial upper limit of 20 points.
That wasn’t very stable.
Regardless, improving the team’s average spirit attribute level was an urgent priority.
She would keep an eye on the trading market for any items that increased mental power.
She also needed to keep this task in mind the next time she entered a Trading Station.
Additionally, the two bottles of red potion obtained from the supply room before entering the final room were both permanent effect potions that increased strength by 10 points.
It seemed that the rooms around the endpoint were all supply rooms like this.
Mu Bai somewhat regretted not clearing all the chests in the nearby supply rooms before entering the final room.
At the time, she was in a hurry to compete with the unknown player next door for the final reward and didn’t think the consolation prizes in the surrounding supply rooms would be this good.
Although these potions couldn’t be used multiple times, giving them to Tang Shifu, along with the Gene Enhancement Serum, would almost bring her strength attribute to the 50-point threshold required to use the Bloodline Potion.
So, Mu Bai immediately handed one Strength Enhancement Potion and the Gene Enhancement Serum to Tang Shifu for her use.
“Here, use both of these.”
Tang Shifu didn’t refuse.
She knew it was essential for the team to have a top-tier combatant.
The sooner they used the Bloodline Potion, the better.
Ideally, they would meet the prerequisite of 50 points in base strength before the Killing Station.
After using both the potion and the serum, Tang Shifu’s panel was absolutely exceptional.
—Personal Panel—
Name: Tang Shifu (Level 4 Train)
Race: Pure-blood Human
Talent: Blessing of the Death God (Gold) — At will, impose the effects of Healing Inhibition and Fragility on a directly struck target.
Healing Inhibition duration is determined by stamina consumption, and it is guaranteed to take effect.
Fragility consumes a fixed small amount of stamina, and its effect depends on Strength attribute and the target’s hardness/toughness.
Attributes: Constitution 29, Strength 42, Agility 28, Spirit 11, Charm 18
Skills: Weapon Strike Fist
Equipment: None
When Tang Shifu showed her panel, everyone was startled.
At this stage in the game, when most top-tier players struggled to have even a single attribute break the limit, Tang Shifu had managed to break the limit for all three basic physical attributes.
Her strength was even more than double the initial maximum.
This was incredibly broken.
In her current state, if she were to proceed with the Artificial Boss Plan and drink the Metal Agent, even without using those two instantaneous effect potions, she would probably become a humanoid tyrannosaurus…
Mu Bai silently sized Tang Shifu up from head to toe.
For her to have such a lively and energetic beautiful girl appearance, the contrast was just too great.
If she were an enemy, she would definitely be fooled by her appearance.
Speaking of which, how could her attributes be so high without her looking overly muscular?
