Chapter 26: Alliance Contract

"【Train Conductor Xi Jian, No. 19999999, has logged in】"

"【Train Conductor: Xi Jian】"

"【Level: 3】"

"【Number of Carriages: 3】"

"【Initial Carriage × 1】"

"【Standard Carriage × 2】"

After exiting her personal information, five modules appeared on the screen.

One of them was Train Arrival.

Qi Xiao narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the module card was tied to the account after activation.

Sigh, he really wanted this module.

He wondered if there would be a way to get it later.

Qi Xiao returned to Xi Jian's Train, and the screen now showed an unowned status.

"【Train head and initial carriage cannot be dismantled】"

"【Dismantle Standard Carriage × 2 - Gain 420 kg of metal, 210 kg of plastic, 140 kg of wood.】"

"【421 kg of metal, 213 kg of plastic, and 149 kg of wood have been transferred to Train Conductor Qi Xiao, No. 19990526.】"

Qi Xiao directly dismantled the second carriage, transferring all remaining materials to himself.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Xi Jian, standing nearby, watched Qi Xiao's skilled operation, too stunned to speak.

"I still had two sanitary pads in that carriage! And you just dismantled it!?"

"Things in the carriage will fall to the ground."

Qi Xiao rolled his eyes at her.

Xi Jian quickly went out to pick up her sanitary pads.

After transferring the materials, Qi Xiao put Xi Jian's spring mattress into his jie bracelet.

On the grassland, Xi Jian mumbled to herself as she picked things up.

"He's like a bandit; he clearly does this often. I'd better stay away from him."

"Don't move!"

"Huh?"

Xi Jian looked up and saw Qi Xiao holding a rifle, the muzzle pointed at her.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xi Jian instinctively closed her eyes tightly and hunched her neck.

Oww... Woo...

She opened her eyes again and turned her head.

A gray wolf lay in a pool of blood.

"Couldn't you have said something before you shot!"

"If I had, you'd probably be dead by now."

Qi Xiao walked over, picked up the gray wolf, and put it into his jie bracelet.

"Where did you pull that gun from? No, where's the wolf?"

Qi Xiao changed the subject:

"In this short time, I've saved you three times."

"Tha-thank you, ah."

Xi Jian said through gritted teeth.

"It's nothing. There'll be a time for you to express your gratitude later."

Qi Xiao glanced at his watch; it was 11:30.

Only half an hour until departure.

"Hey."

"What do you want?"

Xi Jian finished picking up her things, holding them in her arms, and looked at Qi Xiao warily.

"Want to take a shower?"

...

"So much water, so many instant noodles?"

"Does your family own a supermarket?"

"Why is this carriage so cool? And there's a big water tank here too."

"And so much food and drink? How are there also blankets and pillows? Is this where you sleep?"

"How much did that rich woman give you exactly?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is all gained through my own hard work and effort."

Xi Jian looked at Qi Xiao with a hint of pity:

"I understand, I understand. Rich women aren't so easily satisfied, comrade, you've worked hard."

She walked into the fourth carriage.

"Showerhead, toilet, washbasin?"

"Outside, there's not even enough water to drink, yet you can actually take a shower here?"

Qi Xiao rolled his eyes at her:

"Is there any necessary connection between the two?"

After speaking, Qi Xiao glanced at his watch:

"Ten minutes, shower quickly. I'll open the door on time when it's up."

With that, Qi Xiao closed the door, leaving only Xi Jian inside.

Xi Jian scanned the area; shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, towels—everything was complete.

It really makes one mad to compare oneself to others.

This living condition was truly heaven compared to a stinking ditch.

Just as Xi Jian was about to take off her clothes, Qi Xiao suddenly opened the door:

"Shower quickly, don't dawdle."

With that, Qi Xiao closed the door again.

Xi Jian waved her fists, silently punching the air through gritted teeth.

She had just taken off her top.

With a bang, Qi Xiao opened the door again.

"Only ten minutes, ten minutes!"

Xi Jian crossed her arms over her chest, covering her vital parts:

"I know! Now get out!"

Seeing Qi Xiao close the door, Xi Jian breathed a sigh of relief and began to take off her pants.

With a bang, the door opened again:

"Also, don't use my toothbrush."

"If you open the door again, I'll use your toothbrush to scrub the toilet!"

This time, Qi Xiao walked directly in, scaring Xi Jian into covering her chest with one hand and holding up her pants with the other.

Her face turned as red as a monkey's butt.

"You, you, you, you, you, what do you want to do!"

Qi Xiao rolled his eyes at Xi Jian, walked forward, took the toothbrush, and turned to leave.

Soon after, the sound of rushing water echoed from inside.

...

After her shower, Xi Jian returned to the Train she had just acquired.

Precisely at twelve o'clock, the Train started.

She leaned against the Train window, shaking her still-damp hair.

Looking out at the deep, endless night, a hint of loneliness appeared in her eyes.

She had been here for fourteen days, and this was her first time stopping at a multi-person station.

She hadn't seen anyone for so long, and the first person she saw was that black-hearted peddler.

He inexplicably saved her?

And saved her three times?

She inexplicably changed Trains?

And signed some kind of alliance contract?

Does she have to give him half of her daily Arrival Reward from now on?

She was currently Level 3, and each time the Train stopped, she would get three train coins.

That was normally enough to buy food and drink.

Giving him half, three coins, how would they split that?

Forget it, forget it, she'd just give him two.

Consider it his daily meal money.

With so much food and drink, he wouldn't have to worry about starving to death.

After her hair dried, Xi Jian went to the second carriage.

By the way, how did he get her spring mattress over here?

And how did he make a gun appear from thin air and make the wolf disappear? How did he do all that?

Was that guy even human?

Thinking about being seen completely naked, Xi Jian's cheeks instantly flushed.

She punched the spring mattress; that guy was simply not human!

...

Qi Xiao cleaned the bathroom after Xi Jian's shower, picking up a pile of hair.

This person used ninety-five liters of his water in ten minutes?

How did she do that?

His fists hardened.

Qi Xiao letting her shower was essentially to show her his abundant material reserves, to make her feel secure about the alliance.

Today, the iced drinks trade brought in fourteen train coins, so he now had a total of one hundred and five.

Modification, Treasure Hunter!

Whoosh!

As a large number of train coins were invested, successfully activating the Treasure Hunter function, Qi Xiao checked tomorrow's Station Announcement:

"【This stop: Happiness Residential Area (Single-person Station)】"

"【This station is a dilapidated old residential area. Room 401 has an indescribable object. There is no danger if you do not open the door. Danger level after opening the door: Level 5.】"

"【Room 601 has a Level 1 treasure chest. Can open: 3 train coins, one si snake silver coin.】"

There's a treasure chest! And there's a silver coin!

As expected of Treasure Hunter, he could get a silver coin right after the modification.

Qi Xiao closed the Station Announcement and began to process the gray wolf.
