26 Chapter - Finally Able To Synthesize Legendary Employees!
The next morning, Bai Cheng woke up early on the tracks.
She no longer felt the full-body soreness, whether it was because she had adapted to the environment or because her physique had been strengthened.
Although her body could handle it, her mind couldn't.
Bai Cheng hadn't slept well these past few days, not to mention she couldn't wash up or shower. She even slept directly on the floor to save space, not even building a bed.
At this moment, Bai Cheng had messy, bird's nest-like hair and hazy, sleepy eyes.
The first thing she did upon waking was not to put on her shoes, but to add fuel and scrap iron to the furnace.
After doing all this, she rubbed her eyes, put on her shoes and socks, and walked out of the wooden house.
Last night's luck wasn't very good; she didn't encounter any excellent treasure chests. However, Bai Cheng always had to maintain the fuel supply, so the railcar couldn't stop. Even if she encountered an excellent treasure chest, she didn't plan to stay put until dawn.
After taking care of her basic needs, Bai Cheng returned to the wooden house with the treasure chest, looking disgusted.
"Didn't they say a little fairy's poop tastes like strawberries?"
Hmm, she must not have reached that level yet.
Feeling much more refreshed, Bai Cheng quickly drove forward, fleeing the foul-smelling place.
As for why it smelled, don't ask.
Most survivors' idea was to travel at full speed during the day, so the entire channel quickly became lively again after Bai Cheng reopened the trade.
Even though Xiao Ran helped her bear half the pressure, there were still quite a few people looking for Bai Cheng to smelt iron ingots.
Even she herself couldn't help but wonder, "Where do these people get so much scrap iron?"
The price remained the same, but this time Bai Cheng no longer hoarded raw materials. Instead, she relisted them after smelting was completed at regular intervals.
A few hours passed, and the two wooden boxes on the railcar were successfully upgraded to iron boxes by Bai Cheng.
Bai Cheng also casually threw the original stone pickaxe out the window, replacing it with a more efficient iron pickaxe.
Of course, there was also the old partner, the stone spear.
After separating it from the Blade of Certain Death, one of Bai Cheng's feet, which had been bare for several days, finally had a sock on again, and her hair was tied into a high ponytail with a small elastic band.
Bai Cheng's stomach protested loudly, so she stopped the car and began preparing lunch for herself.
"Manual Piston Pressure Drive Device: 112 / 200."
"I can upgrade the drive device again this afternoon." At this moment, Bai Cheng was full of drive.
The feeling of not having to do anything but focus on traveling was truly intoxicating.
Bai Cheng also threw out the stone spear and made an iron spear.
Almost all the tools on the railcar had been renewed by her; even the wooden walls could be reinforced with iron ingots.
However, Bai Cheng didn't do this. If the original walls weren't for shelter from wind and rain, she would have long wanted to tear them down. Why would she add more weight?
While getting off the car to roast meat, Bai Cheng didn't waste time and collected some wood with the silver axe.
Then, she opened the ordinary treasure chest she had picked up earlier on the road.
To be honest, Bai Cheng didn't have any expectations for what was inside, because she already lacked nothing.
"Open ordinary treasure chest: obtained watch * 1, sugar-free bread * 1, scrap iron * 2."
"Hiss, it turns out the less you care, the better your luck."
Bai Cheng's mood also improved. She picked up the watch; it was a black mechanical watch that didn't require time adjustment.
The time displayed on it was 11:10.
Bai Cheng hadn't eaten breakfast, so it was certain that lunch would be early.
She tried to wear the watch on her wrist, but this watch was clearly a men's model. Her wrist was too thin, and it hung loosely, feeling like nothing.
"Forget it." Bai Cheng sighed. It wasn't the time to upgrade it yet, so she could only place it on the table for now.
The meat was almost cooked, so Bai Cheng broke open the bread and made herself a wilderness burger.
"I didn't expect there to be bread in the box (chew, chew, chew)."
Perhaps it was due to her enhanced physique; Bai Cheng, who could originally only eat a small half of a one-kilogram portion of meat, could now eat most of a portion.
"I hope I don't get fat."
After finishing lunch in a few bites, Bai Cheng started trading with people in the channel again.
Even after renewing all her tools that morning, she still had a stock of 20 iron ingots in her backpack.
However, this time she wasn't trading for scrap iron, but to collect the last four employee cards.
"Trader: Bai Cheng."
"Trading item: Iron ingot * 1 (remaining 4)."
"Demand: Any employee card."
When everyone believed that 1 iron ingot was equal to 3 scrap iron, exchanging a useless employee card for 1 iron ingot was undoubtedly a great deal.
After all, a useless employee card couldn't be sold at all; no survivor would want a useless employee.
And Bai Cheng's demand was precisely for any employee card.
Before she could even open the channel to check their chats, her four iron ingots ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ were snapped up in a short moment.
In their place, four employee cards appeared before Bai Cheng.
She just glanced at them, seeing fox, field mouse, and the like, then neatly put them away with all her other employee cards.
"14 white, 1 green, finally able to synthesize a legendary employee!"
Bai Cheng's face was full of excitement, but she still restrained her impulse.
"The drive device is less than a hundred kilometers from upgrading. I'll upgrade it first before changing it to an employee card."
Although the drive device still couldn't reach the top level, Bai Cheng believed that after the upgrade, she would definitely be able to easily reach the First Station by herself.
Even if her legendary employee couldn't pull the car for her.
She no longer felt like watching these people chat, and Bai Cheng immediately started traveling at full speed.
She wanted to complete the upgrade and synthesize the legendary employee as soon as possible.
This way, even if she couldn't reach the First Station today, Bai Cheng, with an employee, could still gain experience for herself at night.
So, whether she arrived or not, it would be extremely beneficial to her.
In a blink of an eye, several more hours passed, and the sky outside gradually grew dim.
Bai Cheng knew that it would be dark at three o'clock today, and the train's safe zone would completely shrink to the space on the car.
During this time, while managing the furnace, she had already stored fifty iron ingots in her backpack, and nearly a hundred pieces of coal.
Bai Cheng's goal was to fill her backpack and iron boxes with iron ingots and coal!
"Daytime is too short; it seems I can only reach the First Station tomorrow."
Looking at the increasingly dim sky outside, Bai Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
But as soon as her voice fell, a purple light flashed across her front, and then she was instantly pushed back without explanation, and the railcar also began to slow down gradually.
Bai Cheng was stunned, and then she saw a huge machine almost filling the entire space inside the railcar.
At the same time, messages popped up on the screen one after another.
"Congratulations! You have collected all materials. Do you want to immediately advance the train?"
