Functions

  • Trade currency — Used by train conductors to buy food, water, ammunition, materials, extraordinary creations, and other goods through the trading channel. Early in the journey, one coin could be exchanged for 200 ml of water or 100 g of bread. 5
  • Train modification cost — Each train-level increase unlocks three modification choices, which require Train Coins to implement. Modification prices vary by quality and effect. 9
  • Train upgrade material — Train upgrades consume Coins alongside conventional resources. Advancing a train from Level 3 to Level 4 requires 10 Train Coins, while the Level 6-to-Level 7 upgrade requires 2,000. 105 350
  • World Wonder fuel — World Wonders consume Coins when activated, including Go-When-You-Want and Fate Fork. 59 79
  • Service and information fee — Certain extraordinary artifacts require payment for their effects; the damaged Tracking Mirror costs 20 Coins per target search, while the Omnitrace Mirror costs 35. 226 433
  • Platform-operation resource — Special visibility plans can consume 20–40 Coins, depending on the selected plan. 349
  • Installation and maintenance fee — Some train systems require ongoing or one-time payments, such as 50 Coins to install the Spacetime Flow-Guide Fin and one Coin per carriage per day for Climate-Controlled Carriages. 106 346

Economic Value

  • Train Coins are scarce enough that many early conductors possess only one or none at all, making even basic water-for-Coin trades potentially life-saving. 5 59
  • Their purchasing power varies sharply by item quality. By the time Intermediate Gene Enhancement Potions become market staples, each vial sells for roughly 15–20 Coins. 263
  • Lu Xingyuan’s ability to obtain and spend large amounts makes his wealth notable among conductors: he exceeds 300 Coins before reaching Level 4 and later accumulates 671. 105 248
  • Despite this, major progression costs rapidly absorb wealth; the 2,000-Coin requirement for a Level 7 train upgrade remains a major obstacle even for Lu Xingyuan. 350
  • Coins can also be used as leverage in interpersonal exchanges, including Gu Wanqing’s request for a Coin after Lu Xingyuan’s Level 4 upgrade and Qin Zhirou’s attempt to repurchase her flying daggers for Coins. 105 414

Notable Uses by Lu Xingyuan

  • Uses five Coins from his early stockpile to install all three of his first train modifications. 9
  • Spends 20 Coins on a dangerous Go-When-You-Want journey to Empire Graveyard, later questioning whether the rewards justified the cost. 62
  • Pays 50 Coins to expand his upgrade selection through Extra Chance. 190
  • Uses Coin-funded Star Upgrades to turn low-value Basic Zombie Serum into Advanced Zombie Serum, selling each vial for at least 30 Coins after an initial nine-Coin investment. 368
  • Plans to raise his train to Level 7 partly to repay Gu Wanqing’s kindness after she gives him a Train Coin. 414
