30: Purple Class 2 train

“Big Brother, do you also need soil?” At this moment, Jiang Zhi, who had previously owed him wood, sent him a message.

Luo Chen was stunned, looking at the messages in the group chat and momentarily forgetting what he was doing.

It was exactly like when he used to study, picking up his phone to look up information and then immediately forgetting about it, turning instead to open his novel app.

“Yes! I need some soil to plant things,” Luo Chen replied simply, then remembered he wanted to buy back his wife and asked curiously, “By the way! Did you buy your wife back?”

“I bought her back, thanks for your help, Big Brother. She’s right beside me now.”

“It’s not really help, just a normal transaction.”

“By the way! Big Brother. I still have about 4 cubic meters of soil here, do you want it? I used it to grow vegetables before, but there’s no sun on the Train, so all the vegetables I planted died, and it’s useless now.”

“Yes! What supplies do you want? I’ll trade with you.” Luo Chen was overjoyed; 4 cubic meters was enough to cover 8 square meters of land, more than enough to plant five sweet potatoes.

“Don’t be polite, Big Brother! I’m giving it all to you; it’s useless for me to keep it. But the wood might have to wait two more days to be exchanged; there’s no wood to collect at this stop today.”

[Your friend Jiang Zhi has given you 4.27 m3 of soil. Do you accept?]

Looking at the notification above, he was a little speechless. But he happened to need soil, so he could only give him some supplies in return later.

He clicked accept and set the placement point in the 0-5 planting carriage, saving himself the trouble of moving it.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Chen returned 6 bottles of water and four buckets of instant noodles.

The other four bottles of water had already been traded during this time, so Luo Chen withdrew the soil trade request. He also placed it in the 0-5 planting carriage.

He didn’t need any more soil for now; it wasn’t cost-effective to trade food for this kind of collectible material. It would be better to collect it himself later; for now, just a small amount for emergencies would suffice.

Carrying five large sweet potatoes in one hand and an entrenching tool in the other, Luo Chen eagerly arrived at the planting carriage.

He piled the soil at the end of the carriage, half a meter high, covering a full 12 square meters. The soil was loose black earth, and it didn’t take much effort to arrange it.

He mounded the soil into small ridges, then planted five sweet potatoes about twenty centimeters apart. After watering them with a little vegetable-washing water, the sweet potato planting was complete.

Washing his hands with the remaining water in the bucket, Luo Chen left the carriage, leaving the bucket in place for future watering… In the evening, Luo Chen took out two salmon to prepare sashimi.

These past two days had been nothing but instant noodles or vegetarian dishes, and he was getting a bit tired of them, so he decided to have some meat to treat himself.

Preparing salmon was quite simple; he just needed to remove some useless scraps, leaving the clean fish meat, slicing it, and eating it with soy sauce.

So it was easily prepared. It was their first time eating this kind of thing, and the 8 people ate three entire fish.

After dinner, the women all returned to their respective rooms, while Luo Chen stayed alone in the cockpit, browsing chat messages.

He watched others joking around, passing the time, and incidentally seeing if he could get any useful information.

He watched for several hours, but it was nothing but bragging, driving, or arguments, with not much of value.

[Ding, congratulations to Breeding Vanguard Train Conductor ECB05240 Luo Chen for forming a bond with the second and third partners, receiving a Divine Blessing: two purple cores (placed in the gift package delivery box).]

[Detected that the Breeding Vanguard breeding value is too low, now specially increasing the breeding value by 3. Current breeding value: 21.]

[Detected that the Breeding Vanguard breeding value is too low, now specially increasing the breeding value by 3. Current breeding value: 24.]

Did school extend again?

Luo Chen suddenly felt full of energy, a feeling of having nowhere to vent.

Another purple core, I wonder what good things it will open?

Taking them out of the gift package delivery box, Luo Chen rubbed his hands together like a fly, looking at the two purple cores, his eyes full of anticipation.

[Intermediate Planting Carriage (Purple): ...]

Another duplicate core, could there only be a few types of cores in total?

Luo Chen was a little suspicious.

I’ll keep it for now and use it later when I add more carriages.

As a Train Conductor with great ambitions, Luo Chen felt it was very necessary to make a preliminary plan for the Train.

Carriages with the same function should ideally be placed together, so that he wouldn't have to run all over the Train later when he wanted to do something.

He put it into a treasure chest and took out the other one.

[Emergency Medical Carriage (Purple): Transforms a carriage into an emergency medical carriage, containing complete medical facilities, capable of treating non-fatal injuries, with a built-in potion shop where potions must be purchased with star coins.]

This is good, this is good.

Luo Chen was overjoyed; with this, if he ever got injured, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a place to get medical treatment.

He used it on Luo Wan Ning’s third carriage, 1-3… At ten o’clock in the evening, Luo Chen stealthily arrived at Luo Wan Ning’s bedroom.

Luo Wan Ning was lying on the bed in loose pajamas, eating delicious potato chips, and was a little surprised to see Luo Chen enter:

“Why are you here?”

“If I don’t come here, where else can I go?” Luo Chen smiled, sat down next to Luo Wan Ning, and slowly reached for the bag of potato chips in Luo Wan Ning’s hand.

“Don’t touch! If you want to eat, go get your own!” Luo Wan Ning slapped Luo Chen’s hand away, pointed to a pile of snacks in the corner with her other hand, and casually said, “I thought you went to Noya’s or Xue Shang’s room?”

“What? Are you jealous?” Luo Chen hugged Luo Wan Ning and kissed her.

“Hmph! What am I jealous of! I’m not a child. With this free time, it’s better to think about how to survive.” Luo Wan Ning rolled her eyes at him, wiped the drool from her face with her hand, and said,

“I can’t keep you company tonight. My period came.”

“It’s fine! It’s not like we have to do *that*, plain is also okay.” Luo Chen didn't care at all, and made to take off his clothes to sleep.

“No! I’m not keeping you here tonight.” Luo Wan Ning quickly stopped Luo Chen and said seriously,

“Tonight, you should go accompany little sister Noya. She’s a young girl who just left her parents, so she’s bound to be a little lonely. Go keep her company.”

Luo Chen was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he realized she was right, so he awkwardly stood up.

Seeing Luo Chen’s embarrassed look, Luo Wan Ning smiled happily: “Go on, go on. Don’t be too late, she’s probably already asleep.”

“Alright! Then I’m going. You should also rest early.” Luo Chen hugged Luo Wan Ning again, then turned and left.

“The next world is called Huachi Park, a single-Train world, no treasure chest.”

As he walked to the door, Luo Wan Ning shouted loudly.

“Got it! Good night!” Luo Chen smiled, opened the door, and left.

He arrived at Noya’s room.

The door was unlocked, so Luo Chen easily walked in.

At this moment, Noya was curled up, trembling slightly on the seal blanket on the floor.

The previous set of seal blankets had been taken by Xue Shang, so Noya had laid out a new set. The two sets were slightly different in size, so Luo Chen easily noticed it.

“Are you homesick?” Luo Chen slowly sat down beside Noya and gently pulled her into his arms.

“Mmm hmm!” Noya’s voice was a little muffled, and she hugged Luo Chen tightly, as if afraid he would leave.

“You still have me with you!” Luo Chen held Noya’s small head and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.

Noya looked at the face so close to hers and slowly leaned in… The next day.

The Train’s broadcast woke Luo Chen from his sleep.

[...Train stopping time: 3 hours. Train Conductor, please board the Train in time.]

He had stayed up too late studying last night, causing him to oversleep in the morning.

Hearing the broadcast, Luo Chen did a carp jump and got up from the ground.

Noya was too tired last night and hadn’t woken up yet, so Luo Chen didn’t call her.

Dressing himself, he opened the bedroom door and left the room.

At this moment, Luo Wan Ning, Chen Yujun, and the Dongfang Shishi sisters were already standing in front of the Train door. Seeing Luo Chen come out, they all looked at him.

Seeing this, Luo Chen didn’t even bother to wash up, grabbed the pistol and entrenching tool hanging by the Train door, and prepared to go out.

However, just then, a purple Level 2 Train slowly swayed to a stop in front.

Luo Chen’s pupils constricted at the sight of the suddenly appearing Train.

This was a single-Train world; where did a second Train come from?

He looked at Luo Wan Ning with some suspicion: “Wan Ning, didn’t you say this was a single-Train world?”

Luo Wan Ning also looked puzzled: “That’s right! What I predicted last night was a single-Train world! If you don’t believe me, ask little sister Yu Yao.”

Dongfang Yuyao quickly nodded: “My prediction was also a single-Train world.”

“Train Conductor, I checked this morning, and the Train’s driving screen also showed a single-Train world; there can be no mistake,” Chen Yujun added definitively from the side.

Suddenly, the entire Train fell into a deathly silence.
