29 Chapter - Cracked Version Of Infinite Train World, Let’S Go!
Chi Yan’s ability to change his body size was quite astonishing.
If Bai Cheng hadn’t upgraded to a Steam Train, could such a large lion not pull a cart?
She didn't believe it.
And even if it were used as a mount, it would surely be incredibly imposing!
“This is a legendary employee, truly amazing!”
Bai Cheng stood inside the train, her blood boiling with excitement, as if she were the one fighting enemies outside.
But as Chi Yan instantly killed all the surrounding beasts with a single strike, he transformed back into human form.
Bai Cheng looked puzzled, and the other party turned around and spoke first: “Miss, there are no more beasts around.”
“No more?” She couldn’t help but be stunned, “Is it possible they only respawn around me?”
That was the only guess she could come up with.
“Then see if there are any treasure chests nearby and bring them back.”
Bai Cheng flung open the train door with a clang, holding her silver axe.
There was no danger outside now, wouldn't leaving so much wood here be a waste?
It was still early, and Bai Cheng didn't want to end the last night before reaching First Station so hastily.
“Miss, there are no treasure chests around,” Chi Yan said respectfully, with a hint of certainty.
Now it was Bai Cheng’s turn to be confused: “You can detect treasure chests nearby?”
“Treasure chests, like you, Miss, and this train, all emit a special magnetic field.”
Chi Yan explained, then added.
“All the monsters nearby can clearly sense the presence of this magnetic field, but compared to ours, the treasure chests’ magnetic field is much weaker.”
Bai Cheng was stunned; she had never heard of such a thing.
Is it because we are all outsiders that these native creatures can clearly perceive us?
“But you just arrived in this world, yet you seem to know all these things without being taught?” Bai Cheng then asked curiously.
Chi Yan was noncommittal: “To be honest with you, Miss, I have some inherent memories about the Infinite Train in my mind, so I am very clear about you, including the matters of the station and the train.”
“I see.” Bai Cheng nodded, thinking that this must also be the power of the system, saving her the trouble of explaining the world view to intelligent biological employees.
But she always felt that Chi Yan knew more than she did.
Yet she didn't know where to begin asking.
“Since there are no treasure chests nearby,” Bai Cheng said, reaching out to hand over the silver axe she held, “then let’s cut down all the trees around.”
She had no reservations about ordering her employees around.
“Yes, Miss.” Chi Yan nodded in agreement, but he didn’t take the axe. “Miss, there’s no need for such trouble.”
With that, he walked straight to a tree, and with a powerful strike, his right hand shaped into a claw.
Thump! After a dull thud, a tree trunk as thick as a man's waist suddenly snapped, then fell to one side, transforming into several pieces of wood in mid-air.
Bai Cheng’s face was full of disbelief: “It can be done like that?”
Although the silver axe was very efficient, it couldn’t cut down a tree with one swing!
And Chi Yan’s seemingly casual strike was able to directly break the tree.
However, despite ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) this, Bai Cheng was still urged by the cheng book, so she still had no time to rest, and in the end, she could only join Chi Yan in cutting down trees around the train.
The latter was clearly a bit surprised: “Miss, I can do these things myself, you don’t have to…”
Bai Cheng immediately waved her hand: “In our world, there’s a saying called ‘leading by example.’ As the Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor), I naturally cannot be a mere pretty face and leave everything to my subordinates.”
Chi Yan was startled upon hearing this, then said nothing more, only working with even greater effort in every movement.
Soon, the forest around the train turned into flat ground, with countless pieces of wood scattered on the ground.
Chi Yan was responsible for transportation, while Bai Cheng synthesized all these logs into lumber on the train.
The materials required for the train upgrade were submitted in an instant, but there was still a large surplus.
Bai Cheng had originally planned to stockpile iron ingots and coal before reaching First Station, but now, after the train upgrade, she also added lumber to her stockpiling goals.
After all, the train required a large amount of fuel to run, and wood could also be used as a backup when necessary, and iron ingots could be directly submitted as upgrade materials, which saved a lot of space.
“Tonight is the last night, and with Chi Yan’s help, I can obtain a large amount of supplies, plus the furnace transactions…”
Bai Cheng made up her mind: she would complete the submission of all existing materials before reaching First Station!
“Oh, and the cheng book’s upgrade, it’s time to choose a new upgrade target.”
But after looking around the inside of the train, Bai Cheng found that there were almost no items left that could be upgraded.
The silver axe didn't lose durability, and the steam engine, including materials and living items, were all non-upgradable, so she frowned.
Could it be to upgrade the iron pickaxe?
But there were clearly no minerals around…
【Worn Mechanical Watch: 0 / 1】
Bai Cheng could only choose the watch as her upgrade target. Fortunately, the basic upgrade was not difficult, it just required time.
After loosely wearing the wristwatch on her wrist, she turned to continue busying herself with the furnace transactions.
Bai Cheng had originally thought this would be another peaceful and fruitful night.
Until a short while later, Chi Yan brought back a few pieces of coal and asked confusedly, “Miss, aren’t we going to travel?”
Bai Cheng saw the coal and only then realized it belatedly.
That’s right, Chi Yan controlled the power of fire, and with his elite-level strength, he could completely clear the way ahead to ensure the train had an unobstructed path!
This way, they could travel smoothly even at night!
“You’re right, that just reminded me.” Bai Cheng immediately said, “Chi Yan, you go ahead and clear the way, burn all this black slime. They need at least half an hour to burn, so you need to go further…”
But she clearly underestimated the strength of an elite-level demon beast.
“Half an hour?” Chi Yan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, “As soon as I burn them, they directly turn into coal, just like the decomposed trees, they don’t burn for long?”
Hearing this, Bai Cheng was utterly dumbfounded.
“Huh? So this wasn’t a rule set by the system.”
Then, she happily curved her lips, “In that case, let’s set off now!”
“Yes, Miss.”
Bai Cheng decisively opened the furnace door, and a message immediately popped up in front of her.
【Add fuel?】
【Boiler Fuel: 0 / 100】
Seeing this, Bai Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she only needed to tap lightly to add fuel.
Fortunately, this was a game world, so she didn't have to constantly add coal to the boiler by hand like a slave.
“Otherwise, just driving the train would be exhausting,” Bai Cheng grumbled.
“However, I will still need to stop midway, so it’s not advisable to add too much fuel, otherwise it will be wasted.”
Bai Cheng then glanced at the odometer, which showed 250km remaining to the next station.
“Let’s add ten pieces of coal first and see how far it can go.”
As the boiler ignited, the pressure inside the furnace increased, and Bai Cheng immediately slowly pushed the control lever.
Whoosh—!
A whistle suddenly echoed throughout the forest.
Hiss— A large amount of black smoke was discharged from the smoke pipe, followed by a clang, and the entire Steam Train awakened in the night like a mechanical giant beast.
The two windows at the front of the train emitted the orange-yellow light of a lantern, like a pair of eyes.
The train, finally, slowly began to move.
Chi Yan outside the train also transformed back into a giant lion burning with red flames.
This time, unlike before, his four paws were spewing flames, forming a fiery field beneath him.
Then Chi Yan ran through the forest, illuminating the path ahead while also clearing the way for the train driven by Bai Cheng behind him.
Bai Cheng poked her head out of the side window, the wind tousling her white hair, a smile still on her face.
“Chi Yan, I don't want to see any living beasts around!”
