"So that’s how it is. What about 1130 then?"
Lin Xian once again inserted the blueprint of the 1130 Close-in Weapon System.
Ding!
At that mont, the Research and Developnt Center shined again, but while last ti the light was red, this ti it turned yellow.
[Blueprint rank is higher, current chanical Manufacturing level: 3, research duration increased by 25%]
[Please select the weapon’s research direction:]
[Firepower](15 days 18 hours)
[Mobility](11 days 22 hours)
[Precision](12 days 09 hours)
"It’s almost there; if the chanical Manufacturing level reaches 4, researching this should only take about 10 days."
Now Lin Xian had a plan in mind, and without further thought, he chose to enhance the sniper rifle again, but this ti he didn’t choose firepower; instead, he opted for mobility.
"This gun is still too heavy for Teacher Chen; if its mobility could be improved, it would probably suit her better."
At this mont, Lin Xian wasn’t worried about the upgraded blueprint’s firepower; what mattered most was making it more suitable for Chen Sixuan, especially since she had now joined the combat lineup and Lin Xian was quite concerned about her safety.
[Notification, A33K Heavy Anti-Material Sniper Rifle Blueprint upgrading and developing, 3 days, 11:59:59]
"Let it develop slowly."
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, no longer wasting ti, he started devouring the intercity train’s locomotive in front of him
[Devouring progress 1%]
Lin Xian felt the speed; the power of this intercity train’s locomotive was not on the sa level as the Ringstar 7F electric locomotive, and it was significantly smaller in size. He estimated that it should take about 2-3 hours to handle one, and he should be able to finish all before dawn.
Ti passed minute by minute
[Devouring progress 30%]
[Devouring progress 60%]
[Devour Successful, chanical Source Point 300, chanical Devouring Skill proficiency 100, extra rewards: Strength 10 points, Speed 5 points, Defense 10 points!]
After 2 hours, Lin Xian saw the prompt appear, the intercity train’s locomotive suddenly turned into a cloud of dust, and feeling the ground disappear under him, he quickly hugged KIKI in his arms and landed on the railroad tracks amid the swirling dust.
"Mm!~"
The sleeping KIKI in his arms was awakened by Lin Xian’s movents, murmuring softly with her eyes closed, she climbed up and rested her little face against Lin Xian’s shoulder, continuing to sleep.
This little girl had a rather peculiar sleeping pose.
She was pressing her cheek against Lin Xian, pouting her tender lips, and continuously breathing lightly onto Lin Xian’s neck, causing a slight ticklish sensation.
Seeing this, Lin Xian couldn’t help but get agitated, his heart skipped a beat, and without thinking, he buried his head and captured those tender lips, instantly feeling a soft, fragrant sensation. Unexpectedly, KIKI, whether asleep or not, suddenly responded actively, her breath murmured, and she pursed her lips.
KIKI’s active response suddenly aroused Lin Xian, his chest and abdon heating up. He imdiately withdrew from those sweet lips and forcibly suppressed the unrest in his heart.
Damn, I was devouring the locomotive, how did it turn into kissing...
He glanced at KIKI again, finding her continuing to sleep, seemingly unaware of the previous actions as if she had involuntarily responded to him.
He quickly opened his system panel, took a deep breath to divert his attention.
"~Now a locomotive only gives 300 chanical Source Points, to level up to 4 I’d need to devour 16 of these trains..."
After reaching level 3, the gain of chanical Source Points decreased again, he figured the Ringstar 7F electric locomotive that previously gave 500 chanical Source Points would now probably only yield about 400.
"If the quality doesn’t increase, I have to rely on quantity."
The gain of 100 in chanical Devouring proficiency was still quite significant. If he managed to level up the chanical Devouring to 4, plus having more dayti now, he could also depend on devouring more large machinery to advance.
...
The whole night passed, and the answering machine didn’t ring again, the sinister dark platform was frighteningly cold, but nothing happened.
Lin Xian thus guarded tensely while devouring locomotives, and ti quickly reached 6 AM. At the cargo platform in Rain Town, it was still dark, but the track was much emptier than before, aside from Infinity.
Two freight train locomotives, along with a chemical tanker’s locomotive head, three locomotives and several carriages were all devoured by Lin Xian.
This nearly drained Lin Xian of all his energy, and if it weren’t for the fragrantly soft but superpowerful ’koala’ he carried, he wouldn’t dare to be so aggressive.

"Definitely a huge gain!"

"At this mont, dawn had yet to break. Lin Xian, with a heavy head, opened the cockpit door to return to the vehicle, planning to put KIKI back to bed. Surprisingly, this little girl was sound asleep on him, making Lin Xian bend down to place her on the bed, detaching her legs wrapped around his waist. Yet, this girl tightly hugged his neck. Lin Xian struggled a bit, watching her murmuring breaths, couldn’t help but sternly kiss her fragrant, soft lips before finally pulling away."
"KIKI licked her lips in her sleep, then turned over. Seeing she did not wake up, Lin Xian felt a bit guilty. He stood up and rubbed his sore back, feeling a warmth on his chest from holding her all night."
"Returning to Carriage 1, which had now been transford into an excellent first-class compartnt with a private bedroom, cleaned up by Chen Sixuan the previous night."
"Lin Xian pushed the door and entered, instantly waking Chen Sixuan at the sound."
"Lin Xian... is it dawn yet? Co and sleep a bit, I’ll keep watch."
"Lin Xian’s heart ward, he walked over and directly climbed into the bed, hugging Chen Sixuan’s delicate body, and closed his eyes saying, ’It’s not just the two of us anymore, let them keep watch for a while.’"
"Chen Sixuan, hearing this, blushed, ’Then you go take a shower first, we now have a bathroom, you should clean up.’"
"Taking a shower seed incredibly luxurious for survivors of the apocalypse, but now Infinity had a water purifier system, which basically could et basic living needs with no imdiate issues regarding water resources."
"And... I don’t have that anymore."
"Chen Sixuan’s heart raced, thinking Lin Xian wanted to be intimate, so she gathered the courage and voiced her concern."
"However, as soon as she finished speaking, she didn’t hear a response from Lin Xian."
"She turned her head, only to see Lin Xian, utterly exhausted, had peacefully fallen asleep, leaving her sowhat astonished. She stared at him, puffing her cheeks slightly,"
"It’s actually okay if you don’t have one, as long as you..."
"Hmm?"
"Really asleep?"
"Chen Sixuan bit her lip, gave him a glare, then felt a pang of pity. She gently stroked his head, pulled him into her arms, calming her restless heart, and also fell asleep."
