12: Purified water tank

At the same time, in the cockpit of a Train with a red, black, and orange engine and a yellow carriage, a young woman in a white suit jacket and black trousers was constantly operating a screen to conduct transactions.

"Miss Qin! Have a glass of water and take a break." Just then, a tall beauty in a black OL suit walked over and handed the water to the young woman.

"Ruoyan, just call me Sister Mengyue!" Qin Mengyue took the water glass, drank a sip, then casually placed it on the control panel, leaning back slowly in the driver's seat, and said with a hint of fatigue:

"Phew! Replying to all those messages is exhausting me! I knew I should have given you my mother's Train fusion core. That way, you could have helped me share the burden."

Xu Ruyan was slightly stunned upon hearing this, unsure if Qin Mengyue was testing her or being sincere.

After a moment of thought, she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Sister Mengyue, I gave it up voluntarily. You know the requirements for the Breeding Apostle to get rewards. I don't want to raise a bunch of male consorts and then become a sow that only knows how to give birth."

After speaking, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she continued, "I think it's great that the fusion core went to Auntie Susu and Uncle Jiang Bin. Uncle Jiang Bin's Hunting Emissary can provide powerful combat strength, and Auntie Susu's Stove Emissary can also provide delicious food."

"Your Emissary is indeed not very good! But I still hope you can help me share the burden. My mother is busy cooking, and Uncle Jiang Bin is just a migrant worker who doesn't understand business transactions at all." Qin Mengyue nodded and continued:

"Currently, you're the only business white-collar worker whose profession matches. Unfortunately, we haven't encountered a Train attendant core yet, and to buy one from the core shop, we have to wait until the Train reaches Level 5 to unlock it."

Xu Ruyan stood quietly, not replying.

Bosses are best at three things: drawing a bright future, winning people's hearts, and PUA.

"Is my mother still cooking?" Qin Mengyue smiled slightly, looking at Xu Ruyan beside her.

"Yes! There are still two orders not completed. Auntie Susu asked me to come over and ask if there are any ingredients left. This is the list of required ingredients." After speaking, Xu Ruyan handed a folder to Qin Mengyue.

Qin Mengyue opened the system warehouse and took out vegetables according to the list: "They have all been sent over."

"Sister Mengyue! I don't quite understand why you would tell others that information. Isn't that our advantage?" Xu Ruyan asked curiously.

"Ruoyan, do you know what's most important for a good product? It's to be widely renowned. Only when others know about it will people buy it." Qin Mengyue said lightly:

"Telling them some information they are about to know doesn't cause me much loss, but it gains me a good reputation. With a good reputation, naturally more people will trade with me, and as long as they trade with me, I can make money."

After speaking, Qin Mengyue tossed a star coin.

The star coin emitted a mysterious glow under the light.

Catching the star coin again, Qin Mengyue smiled slightly and continued, "It's better to tell them more information and let them survive. More people also means more transactions. Just like for a country, more people also means more consumption power, and as long as there is consumption, they can make money by collecting taxes."

"I see. Sister Mengyue, you're amazing!" Xu Ruyan said, realizing... [A sister just disappeared directly in front of me, does anyone know what's going on?]

[Disappeared directly? I don't know!]

[Why are there still people who don't understand the game rules? Don't you read the game rules when you play? Before the world fragment disappears, please ensure the Train Conductor is on his own Train, otherwise he will become a puppet.]

[But when we left, the world fragment didn't experience earthquakes!]

[Just because it didn't before doesn't mean it won't now! If the Train Conductor's Train is gone, what kind of Train Conductor is he?]

[Such a disgusting third rule.]

[The Puppet Shop relies on the contributions of people like you.]

[Damn! I'm on someone else's Train now, what should I do? Who can save me?]

[Train Conductors on other people's Trains should quickly find their own Train Conductor, then buy a Train ticket from the material shop in the Train Shop, only 10 star coins per ticket. After use, the Train Conductor status will be canceled, the Emissary will be canceled, and they will become a passenger on the current Train, thus not being affected by the rules. Those who can't find it can use the search function.]

[If you have a white core, you can use the white core to merge someone else's Train with your own Train. After merging, the other person will become the Vice Train Captain of your Train and will also not be affected by the rules.]

[Thanks for the help, boss!] xN

[Huh? Why is this boss only Level 1?]

...On the red Level 1 Train, the girl couldn't help but secretly rejoice as she watched her two messages being pushed to the top, finally getting ahead this time.

But seeing the messages that followed, she immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "Why is this person like this? If it weren't for my bad luck and not finding any materials, I would have already reached Level 3."

And behind the girl, a white cat, one meter tall, was obediently licking its paws... [No wonder someone just asked me if I had a white core. I was wondering what it was for, but I didn't expect it to be for this. Too bad I'm only Level 1. Does anyone want it? You can exchange it for upgrade materials.]

[You scoundrels, you knew the news but didn't tell us.]

[I told you, but can you see it? There are so many messages in the chat room every day, if you don't read them yourself, who else can you blame?]

...Evening!

Luo Chen, who was bored scrolling through the chat room, saw a message suddenly pop up on the screen:

[Ding! Congratulations to the Breeding Vanguard: Train Conductor ECB05240 Luo Chen for forming his first partner, receiving the Blessing of the Gods: one purple core (placed in the gift package delivery box)]

[Detected that the Vanguard's breeding value is too low, now specially increasing breeding value by 3, current breeding value is 18.]

"purple core!" Looking at the words on the screen, Luo Chen felt his jaw drop.

Did someone give me a cheat?

"Wow! A purple core? Where did this come from?" Luo Wan Ning, sitting in another chair, turned her body to look at the information on the screen: "Breeding Vanguard, is this your Emissary?"

"Yes! It's similar to having many children and many blessings." Luo Chen nodded, explained briefly, and then turned to take out a purple, metallic-looking cube from the baffle below.

Luo Wan Ning seemed not to have heard Luo Chen's words, her eyes fixed on the core in Luo Chen's hand, and she excitedly shouted, "Quick... quickly activate it and see! Let's see what functions it has."

Luo Chen heard this and opened the Train modification module.

[Detected purification water tank core (purple), activate?]

[purification water tank core (purple): Obtain a 10m3 purification water tank, capable of purifying any water source into drinking water and storing it. (Placed in the top space of the Train, will not occupy carriage space.) Only one can be placed per carriage]

Luo Chen was so excited he almost jumped up.

Luo Wan Ning looked at the screen and immediately shouted with excitement, jumping into Luo Chen's arms and yelling, "There's water! There's finally water! I can finally take a bath freely!"

"Alright! Alright! Don't get so excited! Don't get so excited! You can only use water freely when we reach the next stop with a water source." Luo Chen hugged Luo Wan Ning with a smile on his face, whispering, "I'll now designate a place to put the water tank."

He placed the water tank on top of the first carriage of his Train.
