33: Upgraded carriages to improve the environment

Two hours later.

Wang Feng returned to Carriage No. 83.

The dark, dirty, and smelly rusted iron sheets were completely gone, replaced by a bright and spacious massive space.

It was so spacious it felt as if they weren't on a train at all.

At the far end of this massive space was a long corridor with individual living quarters on both sides.

There were only five rooms.

Naturally, Wang Feng had reserved these for the core members.

The carriage members were startled by the sudden change.

"B... Boss!" Zhang Qiang ran over with an excited face. "What's going on with this carriage?"

"I just took a nap, and when I opened my eyes, the carriage had changed! This is awesome!"

Wang Hao and Liu Sheng were also beaming with joy.

"Boss, I know! You must have upgraded the carriage!"

"Boss! All the bad luck in the first half of my life was just so I could meet you!"

Wang Feng gave Liu Sheng an annoyed kick.

"Get lost! Can't you say something better than that?"

Liu Sheng chuckled foolishly and scratched his head.

Zhang Yuqi wasn't overly excited; she simply walked to Wang Feng's side and whispered.

"Master, you spent so many Points just to upgrade the carriage and improve the living environment... Is it really worth it?"

"Every stage of the Instance Competition is fraught with danger. No matter how high your level, you could lose your life."

"Now that you've spent the Points... what will you do for the next instance?"

Zhang Yuqi was worried about Wang Feng.

Of course, she didn't know that it hadn't cost Wang Feng many Points at all to upgrade the carriage to level three.

Wang Feng patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry, it didn't cost that many Points."

"Besides, a good living environment boosts morale."

"Look at those three."

Wang Feng tilted his chin toward them.

Zhang Qiang, Wang Hao, and the other were wandering around like children who had just entered an amusement park.

"Holy shit! A rear-projection TV! We can use this to watch livestreams from now on!"

"Holy shit! A bed! A soft, big bed! Hahaha!"

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! There's even a fridge! This is amazing!"

Zhang Yuqi rolled her eyes at them in annoyance.

Wang Feng, however, found it quite amusing.

"See?"

"We won and got Points. Besides preparing for the next instance, we should also optimize our lives as much as we can."

"And..." Wang Feng leaned into Zhang Yuqi's ear, "I'm looking forward to that sexy nightgown of yours."

Zhang Yuqi froze for a moment.

Then, her pretty face turned red all the way to her ears.

She pinched Wang Feng's finger and nodded slightly.

"I will... prepare well..."

"Master~"

As for the other members, they had long been dazed.

If they had previously harbored even a slight doubt about Wang Feng or thought about defecting to other carriages,

then Wang Feng's victory against the odds in the last instance, along with the superior environment after the carriage upgrade, had made them completely discard such thoughts.

Only one thing filled their minds now.

That was to follow Wang Feng to the death!

As long as they followed Wang Feng, their lives would only get better!

However, it wasn't over yet.

Wang Feng called everyone to the front.

Then, he clapped his hands.

Immediately after, Dai Yingying, dressed in a uniform, appeared in the carriage pushing a fully loaded cart.

The carriage members' eyes widened when they saw what was on the cart.

"It's... it's hot pot and barbecue!"

"Chilled beer, and drinks... and a fruit platter!!!"

Even Zhang Yuqi couldn't help but widen her eyes.

A dazzling array of beef and mutton rolls, abalone and lobster, along with beers and drinks covered in condensation.

She couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

She finally understood what Wang Feng meant earlier.

Once you have money and make your fortune, you naturally have to enjoy life.

Because a good life itself is the motivation for people to keep fighting.

"Captain!" Zhang Qiang's lips were trembling. "This... what is all this..."

Wang Feng smiled, his sonorous voice echoing in the carriage.

"This victory is the result of everyone's hard work."

"After a victory, it's only natural to reward everyone."

"Today! Hot pot, barbecue, beer, and drinks—eat and drink as much as you want!"

Zhang Qiang looked at Wang Feng with teary eyes.

Wang Hao and Liu Sheng, two grown men, also began to shed tears.

The four members who had participated in the last instance were also moved to tears, sobbing as they hugged each other.

Once upon a time, when they first arrived on this train, they felt their future was hopeless.

After five consecutive losses, everyone was in despair.

They could only huddle in the corners of the carriage waiting for death.

Once upon a time, even a sip of water was an extravagant hope!

But Wang Feng, by his own strength, had reversed the losing streak of Carriage No. 83 and brought hope to everyone.

More importantly, after his success, he didn't keep all the benefits for himself like in other carriages.

There was no tyrannical rule, nor was there any bullying of the women in the carriage.

From beginning to end, he had only one requirement for everyone in this carriage.

Prove your worth!

He had upgraded the carriage and optimized everyone's living environment.

He even paid out of his own pocket to treat everyone to barbecue and beer.

At this moment, everyone understood one thing.

Following Wang Feng was the greatest blessing of their lives.

Every victory of Wang Feng's would bring tangible, generous treatment to the carriage!

It would make their lives better!

It would make them stronger!

It would let them live longer!

"Captain—!!!" Zhang Qiang knelt on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Besides my mother, you are the person who treats me best in this world!!!"

Wang Hao and Liu Sheng were crying even harder.

"Following the Captain is our greatest luck!"

Wang Feng gave them a playful kick with a smile.

"Don't be so damn mushy! You're giving me goosebumps!"

Zhang Yuqi looked at Wang Feng with tears in her eyes.

She couldn't wait to drag him to the room and start a round... then another round!

Until they were exhausted.

Seeing her man looking so magnificent, Dai Yingying's face was also flushed with pride.

Master is so handsome~

Hehe~

"Alright, stop standing around dazed."

"Clean up the place and set the tables."

"Let's have a great meal today!"

...Steam from the hot pot drifted through the carriage, the barbecue sizzled, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

Everyone ate until their faces were flushed with satisfaction.

Zhang Qiang talked incessantly about his past overtime work at his company.

Wang Hao talked about local specialties from his hometown, while Liu Sheng burst into tears whenever he mentioned his ex-wife.

At other tables, youngsters could be heard chatting about games, anime, and girls they had crushes on.

Before entering the Train Survival Game, everyone had been the most ordinary of people.

Now, they were united because of Wang Feng.

During the meal, Wang Feng was chatting happily and accidentally rested his hand on Zhang Yuqi's knee.

His palm felt a cool softness.

Just as Wang Feng was about to move his hand away, Zhang Yuqi gently pressed her hands onto the back of his.

The two of them locked eyes.

Zhang Yuqi's pretty face wore a blush of shyness.

The porcelain skin under his palm also radiated a pleasant warmth.

Although neither spoke, Wang Feng could feel Zhang Yuqi's thoughts.

From now on, as long as Wang Feng wanted it, her lap would always be reserved for him.

He could rest his hand there anytime, anywhere.

This was a spot that belonged only to him.

"Boss!" Zhang Qiang suddenly stood up and let out a roar.

Everyone in the carriage stood up in unison and raised their glasses.

"My life is yours!"

"Whenever you want me to die, I'll die!"

"If I even blink an eye, I'm not a man!"

Everyone else also raised their glasses and downed their drinks in one go.

"Our lives belong to the Captain!"

Wang Feng also stood up.

Zhang Yuqi followed suit.

"I only have one requirement for you."

"And that is to prove your worth."

"As long as you prove your value to me, I will reward you with even more."

From that moment on.

Wang Feng had united the entirety of Carriage No. 83 into a single force.

In the future, the combat power and efficiency they would display would be beyond imagination... Night fell.

Outside, people were still eating, drinking, and chatting.

Wang Feng had already returned to his living quarters.

The space wasn't very large, but the bed was soft and the air was fresh.

Just then, there was a "thump-thump" knock on the door.

It was Zhang Yuqi.

At this moment, she was wearing a thin camisole nightgown.

She closed the door and turned off the lights.

Then, with a flick, she lit an aromatherapy candle.

"Master~"

"The night is late."

She tossed her long hair to one side, revealing her delicate and beautiful profile.

Then, she said with deep affection,

"It's time to rest."
