"Brother Lu, the three of us ending up on the same platform must be fate. Why don't we work together and loot the supplies here?"

The bald man immediately extended an invitation.

"You managed to gather so many supplies, so your strength must be extraordinary. With you here, we'll feel safer exploring together!"

Lu Xingyuan shook his head.

"You're overthinking it. I was just a little luckier. There wasn't any danger at the previous two platforms, so I was able to gather supplies so easily."

The bald man froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Didn't the game rules say so? In this world, luck is more important than strength. Brother Lu, you're being too modest. Having such good luck is already incredible. Maybe the two of us can benefit from your good fortune today too."

After hearing the bald man, the wavy-haired woman's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded frantically.

"Right, right, right! Since you're so lucky, there definitely won't be any danger if we follow you!"

If she clung tightly to a big shot's thigh, she would definitely get plenty of benefits!

However, Lu Xingyuan's firm attitude exceeded her expectations.

"I said no. Are you deaf?"

The wavy-haired woman's expression stiffened. After a long while, she gave an awkward smile.

"Fine... then."

She could only turn to the bald man.

"Then shall we work together?"

The bald man nodded. "No problem."

The wavy-haired woman immediately put on a weak and helpless act. "I'm just a frail woman. You'll have to look after me a little when the time comes and give me more supplies."

The bald man made an OK gesture.

By then, Lu Xingyuan had already entered a shop.

All kinds of electric scooters were parked inside, and there was no sign of any danger.

After being strengthened by the genetic medicine, his perception had also improved greatly. If anything was wrong, he would be able to sense it.

Had someone with terrible luck twice in a row like him finally gotten lucky for once?

That made sense. A platform's level only indicated how abundant its resources were; it was not directly tied to danger.

Since that was the case, it was time to start looting.

These brand-new electric scooters were the best resources. Their frames were all made of metal.

There were also plastic, rubber, electronic components, and all sorts of other materials. They might be useless now, but they could come in handy later.

Lu Xingyuan rummaged through the cabinets and quickly found a large bunch of keys. After trying them one by one, he soon started one of the scooters and twisted the throttle, speeding toward his train.

There was a height difference between the train and the platform. Fortunately, Lu Xingyuan was thorough enough to bring a ramp in advance. He placed it in front of his train door, allowing the scooter to be driven directly into the carriage.

After handling one, Lu Xingyuan immediately returned for the next.

Meanwhile, the bald man and the wavy-haired woman searched the shop for food and water.

After looking around, they found nothing.

"Are you kidding me? Such a huge store, and there isn't even a barrel of bottled water?"

Already thirsty to the extreme, the wavy-haired woman became even more irritated.

"And this is called the Green Platform? What a scam!"

The bald man was in just as bad a mood.

Not everyone was as lucky as Lu Xingyuan, able to gather so much food and water.

He had gone nearly seventy-two hours without a drink. He could not even squeeze out a mouthful of saliva.

Just then, they saw Lu Xingyuan racing past on an electric scooter.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author.

It may have simply been renamed.

The two exchanged glances and immediately realized something.

The reason this stop was a Green Platform was because it had enough upgrade materials!

"Should we transport the electric scooters back too?"

They had come all this way, so naturally they could not return empty-handed. They had to uphold the angler's spirit of never coming back empty-handed: if you can't catch fish, steal a cow; if you can't steal a cow, steal vegetables. Either way, you can't make the trip for nothing!

The two immediately copied Lu Xingyuan and began hauling electric scooters back nonstop.

Lu Xingyuan said nothing. There were more than enough scooters; they could not possibly transport them all within an hour.

Twenty minutes later.

Lu Xingyuan had transported away every electric scooter in the first shop.

He promptly switched targets, eyeing the solid wood tables and chairs, as well as the wooden counter. Right, the suspended ceiling seemed to be made of wooden boards too.

He estimated that he had enough metal already. He had pushed more than twenty electric scooters into the carriage, stuffing the already small space to the brim.

It was time to focus on wood and glass.

After a round of destruction, he smashed the tables and chairs into pieces, then used an electric scooter to transport them back trip after trip.

The glass display windows were even easier to destroy. A single brick did the job.

Lu Xingyuan tossed all the shattered glass into the carriage in one go.

Good glass or bad glass, it did not matter. As long as he reached one hundred units, that was enough.

"Hm? This electric scooter..."

When he arrived at the third shop and was about to tear out the glass, Lu Xingyuan's attention was suddenly drawn to a black electric scooter displayed right at the front entrance.

He found the key and inserted it, but discovered that there was no battery. Frowning, he suddenly thought of something and opened the storage compartment beneath the seat.

A treasure chest appeared vividly before his eyes.

"That's hidden deep enough!"

For a while, he had thought this platform had no treasure chest, or that the other two had already looted it.

As long as that misunderstanding was cleared up, it was fine.

10:50.

Ten minutes remained until departure.

The bald man and the wavy-haired woman waited in front of the train.

"Brother Lu, your haul this time... Holy crap, what's that? A treasure chest!?"

Their attention was instantly drawn to the treasure chest shining with an alluring glow.

"You're way too lucky! You even found a treasure chest!"

The wavy-haired woman could not hide the envy and jealousy in her voice.

Even though they had reached the third stop, most Train Conductors had never seen a treasure chest.

The wavy-haired woman before him was one of them, so she was extremely curious about what could be found inside.

"Can you open it and let us take a look?"

"Nothing worth seeing."

Lu Xingyuan completely ignored her request and casually tossed the treasure chest into the carriage.

The wavy-haired woman's expression instantly froze.

"Brother Lu is right. Better not open it. After all, the treasure chest belongs to Brother Lu. What if it contains something good? Wouldn't that only make things harder for the two of us?"

"We were lucky enough today to come to this Green Platform and gather so many materials for upgrading our trains without encountering any danger at all. We really should thank Brother Lu properly. He shared his good luck with us, don't you... agree?!"

As though she had received some kind of signal, the wavy-haired woman immediately pulled out the dagger hidden in her hand and stabbed it straight at Lu Xingyuan!

If she had still hesitated earlier, then now... her eyes were incomparably resolute, filled with utter madness!

"Go to hell! If you won't open the treasure chest in front of me, then I'll open it myself!"
