The way the girls looked at Caleb Mercer changed instantly.Catching their shifting gazes, Caleb hurriedly tried to explain himself. "Hey, what is with those looks? I was genuinely thinking about your safety and definitely did not have any weird ideas about tearing your clothes. You have to believe me."The girls remained silent while staring at him with looks of absolute disdain.His mouth twitched in response. His carefully crafted image was completely ruined. He cursed his big mouth for blurting out his inner thoughts like that.He let out an awkward cough and quickly changed the subject. "Right, look here. This is the black iron chest rewarded to us yesterday. Ms. Hale, why don't you open it and see if we get anything good?"The girls turned their attention to the chest with piqued curiosity. They had heard that yesterday's water and food came from a wooden chest. Seeing this higher-quality black iron chest naturally sparked their interest. It felt exact

Suddenly, Caleb Mercer's eyes lit up with excitement. As a veteran fisherman, seeing the large fish swimming in the river made his hands itch for a fishing rod. If he could catch a few of them and bring them back, the girls would absolutely shower him with praise. The mere thought of it made his lips curl into a wide grin that was harder to suppress than the recoil of an AK-47 assault rifle. He calculated the time he had left. With roughly three hours remaining before the train departed, he had more than enough time for a quick fishing session.He quickly scoured the surrounding area for materials. The forest was abundant with tough plant fibers, which he easily extracted and braided into a sturdy fishing line. He then employed an ancient fishing technique by sharpening both ends of a small wooden stick. When a fish swallowed the bait, the stick would lodge horizontally in its throat. While this primitive gorge hook was certainly not as efficient as professional modern gear, it

"Wow, it really became completely crystal clear! You are absolutely amazing, Jenna!""She really is incredible. Just look at how pure it is now.""This is fantastic news. With this much purified water, we will not only have enough to drink, but we might even be able to take proper baths!"The girls chattered excitedly, their faces glowing with immense joy as they marveled at the clean water. Jenna Cole stood by the wooden barrels with her arms crossed over her chest, flashing Caleb Mercer a highly smug and triumphant look.He responded with an appreciative smile, genuinely relieved that their crippling water crisis had been temporarily resolved.With hydration secured, his attention naturally shifted to the problem of food. He cast a thoughtful gaze over the massive, mountain-like pile of raw dragon meat resting on the floor. He calculated internally that this single haul was more than enough to feed their entire group for a full month.Deciding to prep

Inside the bathroom, Sylvia Hale gritted her teeth and squeezed out every word. "Why is there no toilet paper?!"Afterward, Caleb Mercer used one hundred units of wood and ten units of iron ore to craft three large tables and benches. He placed them in the second carriage to serve as the dining area, finally getting rid of the completely empty look of the train.However, having so many people crammed onto two large beds was ultimately too inconvenient. After pondering for a moment, Caleb turned his attention back to the computer console.[simple private room: 500 units of wood, 300 units of iron ore, 300 units of stone, 1,000 units of plant fiber.][soundproof private room: 1,000 units of wood, 600 units of iron ore, 600 units of stone, 2,000 units of plant fiber.][Presidential Suite: 2,000 units of wood, 1,200 units of iron ore, 1,200 units of stone, 4,000 units of plant fiber.]Clothes could be used as a substitute for plant fiber, and he certainly d

Caleb Mercer felt a jolt of sheer disbelief coursing through his veins as he realized the identity of his newest visitor. It was Ms. Hale. He could hardly wrap his head around the fact that his beautiful, dignified teacher was sneaking into his bed. She had explicitly warned him earlier not to harbor any inappropriate thoughts about her, yet here she was, initiating the very thing she had forbidden. His mind raced with denial, trying to convince himself that he had made a mistake and that it could not possibly be her. Seeking absolute certainty, Caleb subtly shifted his hands to confirm his suspicions. There was absolutely no mistaking those perfect curves. It was undoubtedly Sylvia Hale.He had imagined countless different people attempting a midnight rendezvous, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect his respectable teacher to follow the exact same playbook as Stella Lane and the others. When it came to both stunning physical appearance and an impeccable figure, Sylvia
