95 Chapter - Sky-High Priced Items? I'Ll Buy Them For Free!
A Station that looks completely harmless and is purely for replenishing supplies?
Does such a thing truly exist?!
"The convenience store owner is probably a Station BOSS who won't attack survivors unless a rule is triggered," Bai Cheng analyzed.
As for the rule about two Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Titles not entering the Station simultaneously, Yu Nian is no longer a Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title, so she naturally isn't subject to this restriction.
This rule seems more aimed at teams of survivors who come together.
Bai Cheng was very surprised by the sudden harmlessness of Station Three, while Yu Nian didn't overthink it.
"Maybe it's specifically prepared for survivors after the trains merge?" she pouted.
Of course, there was another guess that made them both more inclined to believe.
Station Three is named Lava Convenience Store, so what does the 'lava' in it represent? Heat?
Could it be that the next Station's supplies will be even more scarce, so scarce that survivors must replenish a large amount of supplies at the previous Station?
No one knows this.
They only glanced at the screen before retracting their gaze and walked straight along the narrow corridor into the interior of the Station.
Before opening the door, Yu Nian specifically reminded, "Everyone, remember not to make any sound."
Then she looked at Bai Cheng again, "Xiao Cheng, let's take off our shoes too. Walking barefoot will be quieter."
After all, they were humans. Even if they deliberately kept their voices down, they couldn't be as silent as the employees.
And if they accidentally triggered the convenience store owner's rules... it would be troublesome then.
Bai Cheng looked thoughtful upon hearing this, but in the end, she nodded, "Alright."
Before entering the Station, they both took off their shoes and socks and put them into their backpacks.
Stepping barefoot on the cold floor, they carefully stepped into the Station.
Pushing open the door, what greeted their eyes was an indoor space that wasn't very large but was quite spacious.
Its layout was like a real train Station, except that the four walls had no windows, relying entirely on the pale light emitted by the lamps to cast a miserable glow.
And what was even more bizarre was that the entire Station looked exceptionally prosperous but was incredibly silent and deserted.
Where was the convenience store owner?
Yu Nian instinctively wanted to ask this question but immediately covered her mouth tightly.
At this moment, everyone couldn't communicate and could only rely on eye signals to decide their next move.
Looking at the entire Station, apart from the wall where they entered the Station being completely empty—oh no, there was also a restroom and a water dispenser.
To their left, directly opposite them, were accommodation, vending machines, a gym, and a self-service restaurant.
On the right were special-purpose shops like blueprint blind boxes, elemental core blind boxes, and survival skill learning rooms.
But without exception, all the storefronts on both sides had no one present; there were only open doors and a dazzling array of goods hung and displayed outside the doors.
As for the end of the Station, directly opposite Bai Cheng and the others, it was a convenience store that wasn't too big, with words like "Lava Convenience Store" written on it. A shadowy figure seemed to be sitting at the cash register, appearing faintly.
However, due to the distance and the obstruction of the door frame, Bai Cheng couldn't see more details.
At this moment, Yu Nian also cast an inquiring look at her: Where should we go first?
Bai Cheng didn't dwell on this question. Of course, they had to visit every shop!
Resting would come later. After all, everyone had limited time, so the first shop they went to was the blueprint blind box store.
The store was not big, only about nine square meters. Although it was a blueprint blind box, many blueprints they had already obtained were hanging on the walls on both sides.
Such as furnaces and kilns.
And the so-called blueprint blind box [N O V E L I G H T] only had one option.
【Blueprint Blind Box Price: 300 unlimited coins (Guaranteed to obtain a blueprint you have not yet acquired, limited to one purchase)】
【Hint: Pay first, then collect goods. Please hand over unlimited coins to the convenience store owner, otherwise it will cause the other party to become enraged.】
Looking at this information in front of her, Bai Cheng subconsciously looked towards the door.
Her gaze fell on the transparent glass exterior wall of the convenience store. At this moment, the convenience store owner was staring fixedly in their direction.
Yu Nian believed that this item should be somewhat useful for their development. The most important thing was that they weren't too short on unlimited coins now, so they could afford this small amount of money.
So she planned to buy the blueprint blind box, but just as she turned to go find the convenience store owner to pay, Bai Cheng grabbed her arm.
Bai Cheng shook her head at her, the meaning self-evident.
Although Yu Nian didn't quite understand, she still nodded.
Then, they went to check out the next store.
The purchase method and even the layout of the elemental core blind box were exactly the same as the blueprint blind box.
However, there were no other elemental cores displayed on the wall, only the sole blind box option.
【Elemental Core Blind Box Price: 3000 unlimited coins (Randomly obtain a high-grade elemental core of unknown attribute)】
They exchanged glances, both frowning.
One must know that the price of a random elemental core at the previous Station was only 1000 unlimited coins.
And this time, it had actually tripled!
This price was simply unaffordable for current survivors, even Bai Cheng and Yu Nian.
They didn't have that much money after the trains merged.
This was undoubtedly an exorbitant price.
As for the so-called high-grade elemental core, Bai Cheng guessed it was probably like the ice element Leng Ningxue gave her, possessing a certain characteristic.
They barely lingered in this shop before turning to leave, but Bai Cheng still looked back longingly at that elemental core blind box.
Soon, Bai Cheng and the others arrived at the last shop on this side: the Survival Skill Learning Room.
【Planting Technology Learning: 150 unlimited coins】
【Function: As the level increases, it can increase the output efficiency of crops.】
【Breeding Technology Learning: 150 unlimited coins】
【Function: You can now domesticate wild beasts.】
【Gathering Skill Learning: 150 unlimited coins】
【Function: Improves tool durability and reduces materials required to build tools.】
There were only three skills, and as the shop's name suggested, they were indeed for improving survivors' survival techniques.
Yu Nian's eyes lit up even more at the sight. The skills were practical, and the price was affordable. This was the only item they could pay for without pressure.
But facing her joyful and expectant gaze, Bai Cheng still shook her head.
Now Yu Nian was even more confused, a questioning look on her face: We're not buying anything?
But Bai Cheng understood that these three skills were completely useless to her.
For planting, she had Lü Duo; for breeding, she had Scarlet Flame; and for gathering, she even had the enhancement from the cheng book's talent. Why would she need these broken skills?
She didn't explain to Yu Nian but instead left the shop directly and headed to the most central area of the Station: the Lava Convenience Store.
This time, standing outside the door, at such a close distance, she took in all the features of the convenience store owner.
It was a humanoid black shadow, with energy surging around its body like burning black flames. It was faceless, but it had a pair of eyes that flickered like ghostly blue flames, currently staring intently at Bai Cheng outside the door.
Bai Cheng ignored the other party and turned to look at Zi Yuan beside her.
The latter immediately understood and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Then Zi Yuan pointed to herself, gave a thumbs up; then pointed to the convenience store owner, and turned the thumb down.
A smile immediately curved on Bai Cheng's lips.
"Pay to buy? This young lady is going to get it for free!"
