[After opening your silver chest, you smirked at Jade and showed off the Train Carriage Modification Blueprint to her, "Look what this is?"]
[When Jade saw the Train Carriage Modification Blueprint: Apartment and used her Train Conductor Authority to check its item description, she was surprised as it literally solved both of your problems of having a good place to sleep on.]
[However, she wasn’t convinced and believed that her luck wouldn’t be that bad and immediately opened her silver chest.]
[After she received notifications of its continents, Jade took it out from her item inventory and puffed up her chest in arrogance, "See, my luck isn’t that bad as well!"]
["Although this one is the only item we both could use since the other is an Initial Silver-grade Bloodsucker Hunter Weapon in the form of a blade, which is the weapon that I needed."]
[You checked the item that Jade showed using your Train Conductor Authority.]
{Train Armor Plating (Initial Silver-grade Train Module Blueprint): Installed all over the train. An additional layer of reinforced armor plating was installed onto the train’s exterior. It would grant the train bulletproof to standard firearms and resistance to below Bronze-rank physical attacks.
Durability will be increased by +100%. Blast and explosion resistance by +20%. Physical Penetration resistance by +20%
Moreover, the train windows won’t have any visual changes, but they’ll still be included in the scope of this module’s defense reinforcement, ensuring that the train’s defense doesn’t have any weaknesses.}
{Materials Required: Titanium Alloy x40, Hardened Composite Plate x30, Magnetic Bearing x10, Torque Converter x5, Medium Energy Core x1, Advanced Circuit Board x5, and Enhancement Crystal x1}
[You already knew that the silver chest Jade had would yield such an item, but you still have to admit that it was a really important one.]
["It’s better if we install that sooner than the apartment one. We can live by sleeping on the train carriage seats, but if our train is destroyed by monsters, then we’d be screwed."]
[Hearing your words, Jade agreed, and she immediately used the Train Module Blueprint.]
[You handed all of the materials that Jade needed, and along with the ones she obtained from opening chests, she mostly has everything needed aside from the Enhancement Crystal.]
[Since neither of you was in a hurry, Jade decided to conserve her energy, and instead of exchanging it using her talent, she started opening Bronze Chests in hopes of getting an Enhancement Crystal.]
[After a few minutes of opening Bronze Chests, Jade finally obtained an Enhancement Crystal, which looked to be a translucent golden crystal that often glowed on its own.]
[Submitting the materials using her Train Conductor Authority, the blueprint took effect, and an external armor plating appeared all over the train.]
[Although you and Jade couldn’t see its changes since you were both inside the train, you still knew from the train status description that the module was successfully installed on the train.]
[Jade sighed in relief, "This is the first time I crafted something without relying on my Equivalent Exchange talent to acquire the materials needed."]
[You responded, "The more stations we encounter, the more resources and materials we’ll plunder. And the more we have those in stock, the less you’ll have to use your talent."]
["Ideally, your innate talent should only be used to exchange for items that are hard to acquire or are station-specific, like materials that could only be obtained by entering a certain monster-type station, etc."]
["Needless to say, I’ve demolished Crimson Rain City and already dismantled it for common and uncommon materials."]
["You don’t have an infinite item storage talent, so if you ever need those materials, just ask me for them."]
[Jade nodded in agreement. If she could avoid using her talent for low-tier materials, she would naturally prefer that.]
[Currently, it was already nighttime in the endless, barren wasteland.]
[The train seemed to be traveling in a wasteland that didn’t have anything but flat ground. It stretched endlessly as if the destination of the train was unreachable.]
[Maybe it was due to it being the first day and within the newbie period, there weren’t any monsters in the barren wasteland attacking the train.]
[It should be noted that aside from the First Carriage, which was filled with seats like a normal train, the other carriages from Second to Ninth were all empty.]
[Because of that, you planned to use the Train Carriage Modification Blueprint on the First Carriage so that it could remove the seats.]
[You and Jade didn’t plan to have many train occupants, so those seats were redundant.]
[When you suggested that to Jade, she nodded, "It’s best that way. Moreover, the sooner we build the apartment, the sooner we can have our residence."]
["It’s already late at night, and while I’m not yet sleepy, I’d want to get this over with."]
[Hearing Jade’s words, you checked the description of it using your authority.]
{Apartment (Initial Silver-grade Train Carriage Modification Blueprint): Modifies a train carriage using spatial compression technology, creating a fully furnished family-sized apartment within limited physical space. The interior is significantly larger than its exterior appearance.}
{Materials Required: Titanium Alloy x50, Hardened Composite Plate x20, Spatial Crystal Shard x5, Medium Energy Core x2, Advanced Circuit Board x10, High-Density Polymer x15, Enhancement Crystal ×1}
[Without any hesitation, you immediately filled up the materials required based on what you currently had in your system inventory.]
[However, Enhancement Crystal x1 and Spatial Crystal Shard x5 were still lacking, so you could only turn to Jade and pass on the blueprint to her.]
[Creating a bunch of Initial Silver-grade Blood Fruits and Initial Silver-grade Lesser Mystic Apples, you handed them to Jade.]
["You know what to do. If those aren’t enough, just inform me, and I’ll make more."]
[Hearing your assurance, Jade nodded. Using her SSS-rank Equivalent Exchange innate talent, she exchanged those fruits you created for one Enhancement Crystal and five Spatial Crystal Shards.]
[Fortunately, her Physique had improved after becoming a High Human, and she also now has access to Fairy Energy.]
[Using division to divide the energy cost, it didn’t exhaust Jade much, and she finally filled up the blueprint with the materials needed.]
-Ding!
