The Train traveled across the sea's surface. After several days, it finally reached the very center of this world, at the foot of a towering mountain.
The journey had taken quite some time.
The reason was not combat, but that his Train had no dedicated seafaring Module, only its built-in ability to lay tracks over the sea.
Its speed had not actually dropped much.
But the extension of the tracks his Train required was, according to Miatila, a consequence of his leveling too quickly, growing too powerful, and earning too many Train Coins, which had left him lacking some basic Train Armaments.
For instance, ordinary Train Conductors would have a standard Train Armament for switching between land and sea travel by the time they reached their teens in level.
But he did not.
Because the upgrade options he received in his teens cost too many Train Coins, the Train System had been forced to omit those basic options.
This was a problem shared by many genius human Train Conductors in the Wasteland.
Ye Qiyan's problem, however, was a little too severe.
For example, he had never once encountered an upgrade option for the chassis reinforcement that many people's Trains had undergone.
Because.
It was too cheap.
If the Train System wanted to offer him an upgrade option like that, it would have to come up with something more expensive.
His Train Level was now 26, within touching distance of level 30.
He still remembered Miatila saying that special Train Armament branch cores would go on sale at level 30.
But there might still be a few surprises in the three levels before that.
