The girl with glasses and the other two male conductors were still caught up in excitement and joy when two gunshots rang out at the same time!

Lu Xingyuan and Sun Yi had both drawn their guns and fired at each other!

They fired simultaneously!

Lu Xingyuan flashed into the room, and a bullet struck the doorframe, blasting countless splinters into the air!

Sun Yi, however, was too badly injured to dodge.

But at that critical moment, his body abruptly turned into an afterimage and vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a shattered gemstone!

"Fuck!?"

All three of them were startled.

They were shocked, panicked, terrified—and utterly confused!

Was this even right?!

They had just taken down a formidable enemy, and now they were shooting each other?

No one knew who had made the first move, but one thing was certain: both of them had acted fast, decisively, and ruthlessly!

After waiting a while, Lu Xingyuan finally emerged from the room.

The two male conductors hurried over to check on him.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Lu Xingyuan shook his head, then walked over to where Sun Yi had disappeared.

The shattered gemstone crumbled into dust the moment he touched it and vanished!

"This should be some kind of extraordinary creation..."

Lu Xingyuan fell into thought.

That guy really had been holding something back.

As for who had attacked first, even he could not say.

It was as though they had both drawn their guns and fired at the exact same instant, as if linked by telepathy.

Why had they done it?

Lu Xingyuan lowered his head and looked at the treasure chest by his feet.

It was an ornate treasure chest trimmed in gold.

Not Level 1, not Level 2, not even Level 3, but... Level 4!

That was right—a Level 4 treasure chest!

This was the reward he had received for his exceptional performance in the mission!

It was precisely because of this that Sun Yi had attacked without hesitation.

Of course, it was also possible that Sun Yi had planned this from the beginning. No matter what level of treasure chest Lu Xingyuan received, he intended to kill him after the mission, swallow everything, and take it all for himself!

"Boss, it looks like he didn't take his treasure chest with him. It's here."

It was a Level 3 treasure chest!

That bastard had almost gotten away with it!

This mission was dangerous, sure, but the rewards were genuinely generous!

A flicker of greed passed through the two male conductors' eyes, but they quickly restrained themselves and obediently carried the treasure chest over to Lu Xingyuan.

Then, they began denouncing Sun Yi and the Mutual Aid Association.

"I never thought the Mutual Aid Association's vice president would be such a despicable person!"

"Exactly! He talks endlessly about morality and righteousness, but he's rotten to the core!"

"I've decided that I won't join the Mutual Aid Association in the future. I don't want to associate with people like them!"

"Yeah, yeah! Only the boss is a true gentleman!"

They then turned to the girl with glasses.

"We had no choice just now!"

"Under his pressure, we had no choice but to bow our heads!"

The girl with glasses sniffed, seeming to want to say something, but she held it back.

Lu Xingyuan swept his gaze over them.

"Hurry up. If we don't leave now, the train will depart."

"Yes, yes, let's go. We can't waste any more time!"

Each of them clutched a treasure chest and sprinted toward the platform.

Their performance in this mission had been fairly average, and they had only received Level 1 treasure chests.

But even a Level 1 treasure chest was enough to leave them extremely satisfied!

Sun Yi's train was still parked on the tracks.

Through the train window, he saw the two treasure chests in Lu Xingyuan's arms.

One of them should have been his!

Lu Xingyuan drew his gun and fired wildly at the window.

Unfortunately, it was already eleven o'clock!

Sun Yi decisively started the train and drove straight away from the platform!

The other three also rushed into their trains in the final second before departure.

Lu Xingyuan did not want to linger either and chose to leave the station as well.

This journey had involved fighting zombies nonstop and outwitting Sun Yi. It was fucking more exhausting than being a dog!

But at the thought of the treasure chests, he forced himself up from the floor.

He could not imagine what good things might come out of them!

"Let me absorb some of Sister Qing's luck!"

Gu Wanqing: "?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I'd rather let you absorb my athlete's foot!"

The treasure chest opened!

A brilliant flash of golden light passed by, and a black metal bracelet appeared before him.

Its design was extremely plain, merely a smooth circular band without any excess decoration or hollow patterns.

Looking closely, he could vaguely make out the fine, uneven matte texture on the metal surface, as delicate as cow hairs.

[Spatial Bracelet] [Category: Extraordinary Creation] [Level: 3] [Description: An independent space has been opened within. Total carrying capacity: 20 kilograms. Items cannot be stored once the limit is exceeded.]

It had come. It had come, riding on auspicious clouds.

How could a survival world possibly lack spatial items?!

Still, was this reward not a little too clichéd?

Clichéd or not, there was no denying that it was an incredibly awesome item!

From now on, he could stuff weapons and all kinds of tools inside.

He could also carry Train Coin with him.

Leaving it in the train never felt safe. He was always worried someone might steal it. Keeping it close to his body was much more reassuring.

He had previously considered stuffing Train Coin into his underwear. Wasn't that what the older generation did?

But when he tried it, he found that it rattled whenever he walked, making him even more conspicuous.

Besides, with the Spatial Bracelet, gathering supplies would be much more convenient in the future. Twenty kilograms of carrying capacity was actually quite a lot!

"That's all?"

Lu Xingyuan turned the treasure chest upside down and shook it hard, trying to shake out another two Train Coin, but unfortunately, there was nothing inside.

It was all Gu Wanqing's fault!

After tossing the empty treasure chest aside, Lu Xingyuan looked at the Level 3 treasure chest.

It had originally belonged to Sun Yi, but now it was his.

Open!

"Huh... this is..."

A card shimmering with an unusual blue glow appeared before Lu Xingyuan.

[Blue Modification Card] [Level: 1] [Type: Extraordinary Creation] [Description: After use, forcibly designates one modification result and randomly changes it into a new blue modification!]

This was good stuff!

Lu Xingyuan's eyes immediately lit up!

His luck was not very good, so he could not roll nothing but green modifications like Gu Wanqing.

But with this special item card, things would be different.

Even if he rolled a useless modification, he could forcibly replace it!

"This good thing almost ended up in Sun Yi's hands."

Lu Xingyuan could only say that drawing his gun and firing decisively had been the right choice.

Aside from the Blue Modification Card, the treasure chest also contained several miscellaneous materials needed for upgrades.

Among them were three sets of basic circuit boards!

"Ah, what a shame. I'm still short three sets."

Lu Xingyuan silently regretted it. Should he spend Train Coin to buy them through the trade channel?

After all, he could not delay any longer. The sooner he upgraded, the sooner he could unlock new Hextech.

Just as he was thinking that, Gu Wanqing sent him a message.

"I just opened a treasure chest and got a few circuit boards. Do you want them? I'll send them to you now. Weren't you trying to upgrade to Level 3?"
