Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The Long Night
"Antelope, what kind of person would choose it as their first employee?"
Bai Cheng looked at the employee card in her hand. If it weren't for the fact that it was for an upgrade, she probably would have looked disgusted with it.
This thing isn't even as good as a hyena's.
He dares to ask for 200 pieces of timber with a useless employee card? Old Bi Deng!
You better pray I never find another chance!
After throwing his employee card into the box, Bai Cheng swallowed a chocolate bar and then picked up his last pack of compressed biscuits and ate them.
She was just as active at night as she was during the day, and estimating the time she would feel hungry after dinner, she guessed it was already midnight.
There are very few chat messages on the channel anymore, to the point that Bai Cheng can see the content without pausing the chat.
Since people can't develop at night, most people probably choose to go to bed early.
Thanks to her frequent late nights, Bai Cheng was only slightly sleepy at this time and could still persevere.
She clearly remembered that the chances of treasure chests spawning were higher at night.
The reason Bai Cheng didn't encounter the treasure chest was because she wasted most of her time staying in one place and didn't push the track car forward.
Since she planned to develop at night, Bai Cheng was determined to persevere a little longer, even though she was already very tired.
She took a short break during her meal and then pushed the track car off again.
This trip wasn't just about searching for treasure chests, but also about getting somewhere along the way.
"The fact that you can find chocolate in the treasure chest at least indicates that it contains food."
Bai Cheng scanned the pitch-black surroundings and muttered to himself.
"I hope my luck will be a little better..."
"Wait, why did I say 'this young lady'?"
Whether it was her imagination or a physical reason, Bai Cheng felt like she was becoming more like a girl.
"I like girls, I like girls, I like girls!"
As she pushed the cart, she kept emphasizing this to herself.
【Distance from Shimoza Station: 460km】
Bai Cheng wasn't sure how long she had been pushing, but a faint white light had appeared in the distance, like a star falling to the ground.
This also confirmed her suspicion: the treasure chest would glow at night!
Otherwise, if there's no visibility, wouldn't increasing the drop rate be like taking off your pants to fart?
Of course, the faint light from the treasure chest will be obstructed by the tree trunk.
Bai Cheng wasn't sure if she had missed the treasure chest before, but she found it and luckily it wasn't far from the train.
"On the edge of safety!"
This is practically a free treasure chest.
After obtaining the treasure chest, Bai Cheng did not rush to open it, but instead continued on his way while he still had energy.
Because she knew very well that she, exhausted from a day's work, would definitely not be able to get through the whole night.
At this moment, he was only keeping his body going by the excitement of finding the treasure chest.
Before she knew it, Bai Cheng had walked quite a distance, and she was already exhausted, so she pushed the cart slower and slower.
Bai Cheng glanced at the two white treasure chests behind him, then looked at the odometer: 【Distance to the next platform: 453km】
"No, I have to persevere a little longer..." She gritted her teeth and continued forward.
Because the journey was so boring, Bai Cheng's screen was constantly filled with chat channels.
Although she didn't speak, watching the scattered survivors chat was a way for her to pass the time.
However, Bai Cheng also noticed a detail: the number of messages displayed in the lower right corner of the channel had been restored from 9 to 10.
It will most likely refresh at midnight tonight, which means it's already past midnight.
This time, Bai Cheng gave up after traveling only a short distance because a green treasure chest had appeared nearby!
Bai Cheng was very excited, feeling like his luck had exploded.
The bad news is that the treasure chest was located about 30 meters away from the train.
Despite the perilous nature of the night, Shirasumi decided not to take the risk.
But faced with the green treasure chest, she had no desire to give up.
"Life is the most important thing, let's take a gamble." Bai Cheng lit the campfire and picked up branches from the ground to add enough wood.
She then sat down on the track car and picked up the two white treasure chests she had obtained earlier, opening them one by one.
【Open 2 regular treasure chests: Obtain 1 solar lantern; obtain 2 scrap iron and 2 pieces of wood!】
"That's it?" Bai Cheng shook the box in disbelief. "Six hundred and sixty-six. They're not even going to act anymore."
The contents of two white treasure chests combined are not even as good as those of a single green treasure chest. The difference in contents is just too great!
"Am I just unlucky?" Bai Cheng curled his lip. "Go to hell!"
The white treasure chest looks almost identical to the constructed wooden chest except for its size, and it also cannot be disassembled.
In her anger, she threw the two empty boxes into the campfire nearby.
The flames crackled and popped, instantly engulfing the two treasure chests.
Bai Cheng picked up the lantern and tried to press the switch, but it didn't light up.
This thing is nothing special; it's just a small solar panel added to the top.
She lost interest in playing with it and placed the lantern at the back of the track car, where it would automatically absorb sunlight to recharge during the day.
"Please don't disappear," Bai Cheng prayed silently, looking at the green treasure chest not far away.
Then, she lay sprawled out on the railcar.
The sky is my blanket, the earth my bed.
The temperature was pleasant and there was no wind, so Bai Cheng didn't think she would catch a cold.
As for the wild beasts roaming around her, coveting her, she should simply ignore them.
Before she knew it, Bai Cheng's breathing became even, and she fell into a deep sleep.
As the first rays of dawn pierce the darkness, the surrounding scenery begins to change instantly; the sun rises higher, and the temperature is no longer as pleasant as it was at night.
The sunlight was blinding, but Bai Cheng merely twitched her eyelids, turned over, and continued sleeping.
However, due to the change of day and night, temperature differences, and unfamiliar environment, even though Bai Cheng was very tired last night, she still couldn't sleep until noon as she wished.
Not only was she woken up by the heat, but she also felt a bloating in her lower abdomen. In addition, she had overexerted herself yesterday because she never exercises, and now she was feeling sore and uncomfortable due to the accumulation of lactic acid throughout her body.
Bai Cheng tried to move his body, and immediately grimaced, "Ouch, that hurts..."
She slowly got up, like an old man who was partially paralyzed.
The first thing I did after getting up was to immediately turn around and look at the treasure chest not far away.
The treasure chest, emitting a faint green glow, sat quietly on a grassy field, and the unobstructed plains prevented Bai Cheng from seeing any danger.
"The environment has returned to normal, and the treasure chest is still there!"
She was immediately overjoyed and felt fortunate that she had slept by the treasure chest the night before.
At this moment, Bai Cheng no longer cared about the pain in her body. She even ignored the private message someone sent her on the screen that she saw out of the corner of her eye, and immediately prepared to pick up the green treasure chest.
She had only taken one step when the bloating in her lower abdomen made her frown.
"Never mind, let's run a bladder first."
Bai Cheng walked to a small tree, but then a scream rang out.
"Oops, I forgot to squat down, damn it!!"
