Chapter 263 Ready to go
The next morning, the entire Zurich team stayed on the train.
Su Li glanced at the team members; after three years of growth, they had all changed quite a bit.
First, there's the appearance.
Today, Ivan and Sun Keke are 15 years old.
Meanwhile, Zuli and Sophia have grown from teenagers into young adults. If nothing unexpected happens, this state will continue for a very long time.
Black Iron-level humans on Earth have a lifespan of around 300 years, and their physical peak can be maintained until they are 180 years old, after which their physical functions will gradually decline.
Fifteen-year-old Ivan has grown into a handsome young man. His hair is as golden as the sun, and his face has lost some of its boyish cuteness, gaining instead a dashing air. He's grown to 190 cm tall, even taller than Zurich's 185 cm. He's like the white knight every child dreams of.
With his increased height, Ivan's protective range has expanded, making him the most reliable guardian in the team. Su Li never has to worry about attacks from behind, because with Ivan there, none of that matters.
Sun Keke didn't change much, but Sun Lili was a little worried that the children's growth might have been damaged during the sacrifice, which was why they weren't growing tall. Later, after consulting with Song Mingyu, it was determined that Sun Keke and the others had a genetic issue that prevented them from growing tall.
My height hasn't changed, but my body has started to get bigger and more shapely.
The remaining few people didn't change much in appearance; at most, they looked a bit more mature due to changes in their demeanor.
At least now Su Li doesn't give people the impression of being a student at first glance.
Aside from their appearance, their biggest change is in their abilities.
Su Li and the others have all reached the advanced level of Black Iron. The next step is to advance to the Silver level.
With their current equipment and abilities, they have no problem facing lone silver-level monsters head-on.
Therefore, Zurich decided to begin exploring worlds above version 1.0.
It's time to gather materials and upgrade the train to level 6.
After breaking through to level 6, more functional carriages will be unlocked. They have mostly digested what they had accumulated before, and their knowledge and skills have reached a certain level. It's time to explore a higher level of the world and accelerate their growth.
Just like in a game where you get experience bonuses based on your level, their accumulated foundation is greater than their current strength, so their strength progresses very quickly.
After three years of digestion, the pace of progress has slowed down, so we need to explore, practice, and continue to accumulate experience and build up our foundation to benefit from level-up bonuses.
Not only Su Li, but also the teams that fought Lin Feng together back then have gradually started to move towards the 1.0 world.
Over the years, these players have ceased to be the top players in the public eye. Players who rely on killing to strengthen themselves have risen to prominence.
As far as Zu Li knows, the Blue Star civilization currently has six players with silver-level stat allocation skills.
However, it was of no use. Ren Jianhan and Su Li had both secretly sparred with one of the silver-level warriors, allowing them to fully enjoy the thrill of challenging opponents of higher levels, just like the protagonists in novels.
It was truly a case of a Silver-ranked warrior encountering the Iron Ancestor, a monster-like figure. The warrior attempted a counterattack, but despite his best efforts, he could not defeat him.
However, after Su Li finished fighting, she felt that these people were inferior to Lin Feng in terms of equipment and attributes, and were stronger than Lin Feng in actual combat.
Lin Feng's level was most likely boosted by higher-level players. He's incredibly weak.
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you thinking about, that's bad luck. Hurry up and check the train's condition."
Su Li opened the control panel at the front of the car to check the status of the entire vehicle.
The first thing you see is an energy box.
[Blue Star Energy: 51081/52000]
This is the consumable energy reserve of Blue Star.
In the past three years, the Blue Star Civilization has unlocked the ninth function of the Flame of Civilization: the [Prize Pool Optimization] function. All trains belonging to the Blue Star Civilization have gained this new meter.
At this stage, you can consume energy boxes and use the prize pool optimization function to transfer the treasure chests and beast tide rewards of the current world from the current world's exclusive prize pool to the general prize pool.
In the past three years, Zurich has explored a total of 47 times. On a few occasions, however, they were unlucky and encountered worlds that were not suitable for Earth's civilization. So they used this function to try it out.
It feels great; even a tissue would be better than the shell healing potion.
He's a human from Earth, where would he get his carapace healed? On his fingernails?
Upon receiving the vehicle, Su Li inspected its overall condition.
The layout of the front of the car has been slightly changed.
The front of the vehicle now houses a 5-meter kitchen, a 5-meter guardhouse, and a 10-meter operations room; the original life support equipment room has been moved elsewhere.
The kitchen was naturally prepared for Sofia, solving her problem of choking while cooking and helping her with food preparation and waste disposal. It's not particularly useful, just for convenience.
The guard room is used for duty shifts.
Su Li redesigned these two rooms to resemble a shared living room in a multi-person rental apartment, where Su Li and her friends usually eat and chat.
Behind the locomotive are the living quarters.
The first floor is a study, followed by Zuli's 'cannon' room.
The second floor houses Ivan's and Sun Keke's dorm rooms. There's a 10-meter-long empty space, along with a storage room.
The only change in these rooms is that there's another piece of furniture with added attributes, which Su Li acquired through a trade with someone else.
[Lighting Fixtures: The Light of Wisdom]
【Quality - Black Iron Grade】
[Enhance your understanding and appreciation of the book]
The set bonus Inspiration is now at 3/10, but the second trait is not yet unlocked.
Su Li also asked her teacher and fellow students about this issue. Their answer to Su Li was that the Qidi Home Set is a very common home set, and the whole set includes 3 pieces of black iron, 3 pieces of silver, 3 pieces of gold, and one legendary piece.
Upon hearing this, Su Li thought, "Well, now that we've collected all the furniture, it'll be time to start the late game. Let's take it slow."
Next, we produced the carriages, which underwent significant changes.
Over the years, having explored so many worlds, their energy level has generally hovered around 0.4, gradually rising to around 0.6 later on. During their explorations, Su Li and his companions would gather resources as they happened, but mainly focused on cultivating inside the train. Sometimes, when inspiration struck, they would simply stay in one place for seven days, fight a beast tide, and then return.
The most significant item Zuli has acquired over the years is a silver-tier item: [Vehicle Space Expansion Plugin].
After use, the production carriage retains the same external dimensions (length, width, and height), but an additional floor is added inside, just like the living carriage.
The first floor of the production carriage houses a 10-meter workshop, a 10-meter biological laboratory, and a training ground.
The second floor consists of a 10-meter planting room, a 5-meter life support equipment room, and a 10-meter breeding room.
The breeding room is a new addition, and it is currently under the management of Sun Keke. In addition to the experimental animals and slimes raised by Song Mingyu, it also houses silkworms raised by Sun Lili.
The linings that Su Li and the others are wearing now are all made by Sun Lili. They are comfortable, convenient, and have good properties, making them much better than ordinary materials.
After inspecting the train, Zurich started the train.
Amidst everyone's blessings, the train departs for a new future.
