When had the Transformation Reassembler become Colorful Hex?

So it really was true: trees died when moved, people thrived when relocated. As long as you changed the stage, even a pile of crap could become something great?

Lu Xingyuan stopped dwelling on it and calmly accepted the fact that the Transformation Reassembler was a Colorful Hex.

"Is it the Transformation Reassembler I'm thinking of, or does it just share the same name? But judging by the icon, it has to be the real thing."

Lu Xingyuan hurriedly checked its function.

[Transformation Reassembler: One item may be inserted at a time. Whenever the train arrives at a station, the inserted item will be raised by one level; after upgrading, the item's level may not exceed the train's current level cap, and the item's original type will not change!]

!!!

Lu Xingyuan's pupils instantly contracted.

This...

This wasn't a one-time item. It could be used repeatedly, without limit!

Every time the train arrived at a station, it could undergo Transformation Reassembly!

Wasn't that a little too overpowered?

This was practically a bug-level existence!

The first thing he thought of was the Infinite Firepower Submachine Gun in his possession.

Although this Extraordinary Creation was insanely powerful and could completely ignore consumption to provide infinite bullets,

its level was simply too low—only Level 1.

It was quite good against low-level monsters.

But when facing high-level monsters, it became rather inadequate.

Take those Level 2 zombies, for example. Bullets did mediocre damage against them, and he had to keep firing continuously to inflict effective damage, far less directly than the Nether Breath Dagger.

But as he had said before, the Nether Breath Dagger was great, yet its sole drawback was requiring close-quarters combat. Once he closed in on monsters, the risk of injury would soar!

In the Train World, where healing methods were extremely limited, getting injured was undoubtedly fatal!

So unless absolutely necessary, he must never engage monsters in close combat!

It was just that the submachine gun's damage output was limited. Sometimes, he had no choice.

He had also searched the chat channel for methods to upgrade Extraordinary Creations, hoping to raise the submachine gun's level.

But unfortunately, no such method existed at this stage.

"The submachine gun is already starting to lack firepower. The later the stations, the more dangerous the monsters will become. At that point, it'll become nothing more than a useless decoration."

The thought alone made Lu Xingyuan feel suffocated.

After all, this submachine gun carried his first Hextech.

The Infinite Firepower trait was simply too good.

Fortunately, every problem now had a solution.

He had obtained the powerful, absurdly broken Hextech known as the Transformation Reassembler.

He only needed to wait until the next station to raise its level!

"But then again... after Transformation Reassembly, will it still be the same thing...?"

The more detailed description above clearly stated: "Items inserted into the device will permanently transform into a random item of the same type one level higher than their original level!"

Random!

Exactly like in the game!

However, with "same type" as a condition, even if it randomly transformed into another item, it should still be a weapon.

But would the Infinite Firepower trait be erased because of this?

Lu Xingyuan could not help worrying about it.

He needed to think it through carefully.

There was no rush to make a decision now.

Before arriving at the new station tomorrow, he could insert an item at any time.

Gu Wanqing had already sent him a mountain of private messages.

"You sucked up so much of my luck. What good thing did you pull?"

"Say something, say something! You've got the nerve to suck up my luck, so say something already!"

"Hey, you bastard, don't tell me you pulled something good and are planning to quietly get rich by yourself?"

Lu Xingyuan adjusted his mood and hurriedly replied:

"How could that be, Sister Qing! I believe that even if I did pull something good, you wouldn't have any improper thoughts about it. After all, you definitely aren't such a despicable, shameless, greedy little person."

Gu Wanqing: "..."

You said everything already. What else could I even say?

Gu Wanqing: "Just tell me what good stuff you got! Let your Sister Qing be happy too!"

"Of course I have to make Sister Qing happy!"

Other than his own talent, Lu Xingyuan hid nothing and showed everything else to Gu Wanqing.

After all, without Gu Wanqing's help, there was no way he could have reached Level 3 so smoothly.

She had been so open and generous; what kind of man would he be if he acted all coy about it?

Gu Wanqing: "Holy shit, holy shit!"

"You brat really do have ridiculous luck!"

"You actually pulled such amazing treasures!"

"I seriously want that Spatial Bracelet!"

"If I had that, I can't even imagine how convenient it'd be to haul supplies!"

Lu Xingyuan hurriedly said, "I got this by risking my life!"

Gu Wanqing: ¬_¬

Lu Xingyuan: "Of course! If Sister Qing likes it, take it!"

Gu Wanqing: "..."

"People like you are disgusting!"

"Wait, you'd better not show up in front of me, or I'll flick your QQ a hundred times!"

Scary.

"This Auto-Repair is pretty awesome."

Gu Wanqing praised, "As expected of a blue-grade modification!"

"With it, there's no need to worry too much about the train getting damaged."

Even now, quite a few Train Conductors in the chat channel were wailing madly because their damaged trains could not be repaired.

The train was the foundation every Train Conductor relied on to survive.

Once it was damaged, it meant the game was completely over.

The modifications refreshed with every train upgrade were random, with no pattern whatsoever. It was all down to luck.

Some people might never roll a modification like Auto-Repair in their entire lives.

All that could be said was that Lu Xingyuan had gotten incredibly lucky this time.

He had rolled the most important modification.

"Then I have to thank Sister Qing. If you hadn't lent me your good luck, I couldn't have rolled it either."

Lu Xingyuan was not the sort of person who accepted kindness without repaying it.

He had made up his mind to gather as many materials as possible for Gu Wanqing's upgrades over the next few stations and help her raise her train to Level 3 as soon as possible.

A new private message appeared in the backend.

It was from Sun Yi.

"Didn't I block this guy? How is he still sending me private messages?"

Lu Xingyuan was utterly baffled.

Sun Yi was aching over the cost at the moment.

Because Lu Xingyuan had blocked him, he had no choice but to use another special item to forcibly establish a conversation with Lu Xingyuan.

But the price was that every message sent consumed Train Coins!

One Train Coin could only send three messages!

It hurt just thinking about it!

He did not want to do this either, but he truly had no other choice!

After all, some matters were too private. He did not want to pass messages through an intermediary, as that carried the risk of exposure.
