Chapter 17 Chapter 17 A Legend of Golden Attire

Nov 12, 2025 1,506 words

Bai Cheng has roughly figured out some of the patterns in his talent.

To upgrade, you must first use it.

When it comes to using them, some items are actually very simple to use, such as matches and daggers.

Bai Cheng can quickly bring them to the top level, thereby obtaining attribute point rewards.

At least she hasn't encountered any examples yet where upgrading items requires accumulating time.

Looking at her belongings, Bai Cheng's gaze first fell on the ordinary black backpack.

This was also a free gift from the newbie pack. The backpack wasn't very spacious, even smaller than the schoolbag she used when she was in school.

After the wooden box was made, it became increasingly useless, and Bai Cheng almost never used it.

She opened the book and used the backpack as her upgrade item, and the information was displayed on the pages.

【Standard black cloth bag: 0/10】

"It's really simple!" Bai Cheng's face lit up with joy.

She immediately took out the half-empty box of chocolates from the wooden crate, grabbed it with her hand, put it in her backpack, and then took it out again. Use count +1!

In the blink of an eye, the black backpack in Bai Cheng's hand flashed with a green light and transformed into a gray backpack with more space and more pockets.

【Practical canvas bag: 0/20】

Bai Cheng's hands didn't stop; instead, their speed increased.

A minute later, a blue light flashed in his hand; fifteen minutes later, a purple light flashed; half an hour later...

With the final use completed, the already exquisite backpack in Bai Cheng's hand flashed with golden light, finally reaching the top level.

【Top-notch! Stylish and practical backpack with ample space!】

You have gained 1 point of freely assignable attribute!

"A space backpack?!" Bai Cheng exclaimed in surprise, like a broken record.

This thing was an absolute godsend in the early game! It completely solved her problem of not being able to move supplies.

But looking at the exquisite backpack in her hand, which was neither too big nor too small, Bai Cheng couldn't help but complain, "But why is it pink?!"

The image on the front isn't a cute cartoon, but a speeding train.

"The logo is really everywhere..." As for other details, it is no different from an ordinary backpack.

Through use, Bai Cheng has learned that the backpack has a total of ten slots, and each slot can only hold a maximum of twenty items at a time.

"Being able to store up to two hundred units without any weight is already quite impressive."

Bai Cheng was very satisfied, but there was no way to prove whether food would spoil if stored in it.

Almost instantly, Bai Cheng had the idea of ​​trading the backpack with other people using resources, and then upgrading it through the Cheng Book, so that he could infinitely farm attribute points.

Furthermore, the extra space in the backpack can be used to trade employee cards.

But she immediately dismissed her idea.

Firstly, I am still very weak, and my talents cannot be easily exposed;

Secondly, a spatial backpack is far more useful than a useless employee card. She didn't want to help these unrelated people for no reason, since they might become competitors in the future.

But what if we don't trade it and keep it for our own use?

This backpack is practically useless to all survivors; you could probably get a lot of it by exchanging it for a few supplies.

Bai Cheng glanced back at her wood, which was the only thing she could offer.

But she still shook her head: "No, cutting down trees has become difficult, the leather hasn't been replaced yet, and this amount of timber is simply not enough..."

Unfortunately, Bai Cheng had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​farming attribute points, since the most important task at present was to hurry up and reach Platform One.

There will be plenty of opportunities to farm attribute points later.

Bai Cheng wanted to choose the wooden box as the second upgrade item because it was almost the same as the backpack, and the final upgrade would definitely be a space box.

However, the image of the wooden box did not appear in Chengshu as he had hoped, which surprised Bai Cheng.

"Can't the wooden crate be upgraded?"

She still remembered the rules of Chengshu: any item or tool that had no way to be upgraded could be upgraded by using it.

Of course, almost anything can be an object, so the premise is whether it can be used.

The wooden box in front of Bai Cheng clearly met both conditions.

"So, the box has an upgrade path?" Bai Cheng immediately understood. If he didn't know, it could only mean that it hadn't been unlocked yet.

So she turned her attention to the solar-powered lantern on the railcar.

Cheng Shu received the picture of a lantern as she had hoped.

【Inferior quality solar lantern: 0/20】

Although it is powered by solar energy, the lantern still has a switch.

Without hesitation, Bai Cheng immediately started frantically pressing the switch.

Green...blue...purple...gold!

【Top-of-the-line! Unlimited charging lantern!】

You have gained 1 point of freely assignable attribute!

The lantern is smaller and brighter than before. It is black all over, like an exquisite little lantern. It is made of an unknown metal and doesn't feel heavy at all when you hold it.

Bai Cheng was very pleased, as this meant she would no longer have to worry about nighttime lighting.

Looking around again, she pondered, "What else can I level up quickly?"

Disposable items, including food, are not upgradable and are therefore excluded first.

"Stone spear? Pulley transmission mechanism, or workbench?"

Bai Cheng had long ago discovered that these unbuildable items were much easier to upgrade, such as backpacks and daggers.

Upgrading the craftable items, such as axes and pickaxes, is extremely difficult, and items like chests are simply not upgradable.

"The stone spear and the workbench are both built, so it's probably impossible to upgrade them to the highest level anytime soon," Bai Cheng pondered, stroking his chin.

But if a pulley-based gear shifter is chosen, the upgrade method will most likely be to make her travel faster...

Bai Cheng rubbed his chin and suddenly noticed the clothes he was wearing.

Because it was a white short-sleeved shirt, even though I was careful not to get it dirty, I did more work in the last two days than Bai Cheng had in the previous month combined, plus the hot weather made me sweat a lot.

Bai Cheng frowned; his clothes were still a bit dirty.

But she couldn't do anything about it, and suddenly became curious: "Can clothes be upgraded?"

With a thought, a white short-sleeved shirt and a blue pleated skirt appeared on the book in her hand.

"It really works?!" Bai Cheng exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't this a bit outrageous?"

【JK Set: 0/1】

"It's just taking off clothes!"

Bai Cheng kicked off his shoes and started taking off his clothes on the track car, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Although it was outdoors, there was no one around, only animals, so she had nothing to be ashamed of.

Take it off, put it back on, and that's one use.

Soon, the clothes in his hand flashed with a golden light, completing the final upgrade.

【Top-of-the-line! Temperature-controlled and comfortable summer outfit!】

You have gained 1 point of freely assignable attribute!

"A suit?" Bai Cheng was a little puzzled, looking at the clothes in his hand. They were no different from before, except that the texture had become better.

Confused, she chose to check the information.

【Name: Temperature-Regulating and Comfortable Summer Set】

【Quality: Legendary (Already Bound)】

【Features: Allows for easy changing into any summer outfit, and also features automatic cleaning and temperature control.】

【Review: One is better than many!】

Bai Cheng was taken aback. She put the clothes back on and felt them. The clothes were not only smoother, but also had a faint coolness, which made her no longer feel hot.

With a thought, her JK uniform transformed into a floral dress.

Bai Cheng looked around, unsure how to describe it, only able to offer two words: "Awesome..."

"Where are the shoes?"

She used the same trick again, and those little black leather shoes could also be upgraded.

As a golden light flashed, Bai Cheng immediately checked the information.

【Name: Versatile Shoes】

【Function: Allows for easy switching between various shoe styles, includes a cleaning function, and reduces physical exertion.】

"Shoes are more useful than clothes!" Bai Cheng looked down at her inner layer again, "Then..."

Soon, a golden light flashed.

【Function: Allows for arbitrary adjustment of letter size.】

Bai Cheng: ? ? ?

"What do you mean? You look down on Team A, huh!"
