30 Chapter - Arriving At Platform 1!
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
The train never stopped, traveling smoothly without hindrance.
After a night of continuous trading, material collection, and re-trading, Bai Cheng's name remained on the exchange, making her a celebrity throughout the entire channel.
Of course, it was mainly because her "Pioneer" title was too conspicuous, and it was colorful, looking very much like a second-rate online game, making it hard for people not to notice.
Although most survivors were asleep in the latter half of the night, and the whole world seemed much quieter, Bai Cheng still had a fruitful harvest.
Her small backpack was overflowing with coal.
Due to the fixed refining speed of the furnace and the need for trading, Bai Cheng only obtained 90 iron ingots, but the two iron boxes were packed full of scrap iron raw materials.
Actually, Bai Cheng originally wanted to build two more iron boxes to store supplies, so she could collect more.
However, the space inside the locomotive was too cramped, and there was no other remaining space to store buildings.
At this point, even the original iron boxes had already been stacked together by Bai Cheng.
After all, the train could drive automatically, and Chi Yan could continuously gain her experience, but Bai Cheng still needed to sleep.
Dong dong!
Before the sky was completely bright, Bai Cheng was woken up by the sound of Chi Yan knocking on the carriage door.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and immediately sat up.
What met her eyes were countless pieces of leather piled at her feet, mixed with many visible unlimited coins, which had accumulated into a small mountain, completely burying her lower body.
The air carried a faint fishy smell, all emanating from the leather in front of her.
"So much harvest last night?" Bai Cheng was surprised and quickly wiggled her feet, pulling her small feet out of the pile of leather.
It was then that she realized the train had stopped at some point.
"Miss, are you awake?" Chi Yan's rough voice came from outside the carriage.
Bai Cheng then came to her senses and hummed in response.
She got up and stretched her body, then immediately went to check the odometer.
Last night, she had already calculated the burning efficiency of the boiler's coal.
1 coal block consumed per 1 kilometer, and a full boiler of fuel would be exhausted exactly after a hundred kilometers.
So, when she slept, Bai Cheng had calculated the distance, and the remaining fuel in the boiler was just enough to reach the First Station.
【Distance to next station: 0km】
"Already arrived at the station?" Bai Cheng was stunned, then a hint of excitement and anticipation flashed in her eyes.
She first looked at the screen, but there was no prompt on it.
Bai Cheng was a little puzzled, and before she could turn to look out the window, she heard Chi Yan's voice first.
"Miss, the First Station is now a few hundred meters away ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) from us."
Bai Cheng was immediately stunned, climbed onto the control panel, and looked out the window.
At this time, the sun had already risen in the east, and the surrounding scenery had once again transformed into grasslands.
Just a short distance away, a huge triangular curtain stood eerily and abruptly on the grassland.
Although Bai Cheng called it a curtain, its surface was actually smooth and flat, without a single wrinkle, and it would not move an inch due to external conditions.
This curtain was brown, and the strange patterns drawn on its surface looked like totems, which Bai Cheng could see clearly even from a distance.
If this thing hadn't suddenly appeared, Bai Cheng would have almost forgotten about it.
"Isn't this the curtain from when we departed the initial station?" She raised an eyebrow, realizing that the appearance of this thing was her sign of arriving at the station.
Bai Cheng withdrew her gaze, and when she looked down, she noticed the watch on her wrist again; at this moment, its tightness against her skin was just right, as if it were not there.
She immediately summoned her cheng book, and the upgrade information on the first page was exceptionally conspicuous.
【Top-tier! Multifunctional Watch!】
【You have gained 1 free attribute point!】
"Indeed!" Bai Cheng was not too surprised and carefully examined its functions.
【Name: Multifunctional Watch】
【Quality: Legendary】
【Description: A multifunctional, exquisite women's wristwatch with a perpetually moving hand, no need for time correction, and a built-in compass.】
【Evaluation: Perhaps not as good as a prodigy?】
Bai Cheng shook her wrist, "It's alright, just consider it an ornament."
She then tapped the screen, preparing to add attributes to herself, but then unexpectedly found that all three of her core stats had increased by one point.
"This is..." Bai Cheng was stunned.
【Lieche Zhang: Bai Cheng】
【Level: Ordinary Second Tier】
【Experience: 2.5%】
【Strength: 11+1】
【Physique: 11】
【Spirit: 7】
【Talent: cheng book】
"Upgraded!" To be honest, Bai Cheng didn't notice any substantial changes in her body. After a second of excitement, she put the free attribute point into Strength and then closed the screen.
Looking at the scattered supplies on the ground, Bai Cheng decided to simply organize them before starting the train and heading to the First Station.
She pulled open the carriage door: "Chi Yan, you rest first..."
But before she could finish speaking, Bai Cheng was astonished by the sight before her.
Chi Yan was standing a few meters away from the train, and at his feet, there were more than a dozen white treasure chests piled up, with two green treasure chests prominently among them.
"This is a great harvest!" Bai Cheng exclaimed excitedly.
Chi Yan's tone remained respectful: "Miss, these are all treasure chests that your subordinate picked up on the road overnight."
"Good, good, good." Bai Cheng jumped off the train, "You rest for a while, we're heading to the First Station soon!"
With that, she immediately began the exciting moment of opening chests.
To be honest, white treasure chests held almost no appeal for Bai Cheng anymore.
They only contained some basic supplies, and she now lacked nothing.
【Congratulations on opening a common treasure chest: Obtained Flashlight x1, Towel x1, Mirror x1, Mixed BBQ Spice Pack x1, Cup Noodles x4, Pork Floss Bread x6, Compressed Biscuits x4, Scrap Iron x22...】
Looking at the pile of items on the ground, Bai Cheng actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were no duplicate items, and most were daily necessities and food, which were still helpful to her.
Bai Cheng silently prayed in her heart, then opened the last two fine treasure chests.
【Congratulations on opening a fine treasure chest: Obtained Exquisite Leather Bed (Blueprint) x1, Kiln (Blueprint) x1, Flower Pot (Blueprint) x1, condenser x1, Scrap Iron x4.】
"It's still good, a small harvest," Bai Cheng said with satisfaction.
She then picked up these blueprints. She didn't check the information for items whose purpose was clear from the name, but instead placed them on the table first.
Because the current space in the train simply couldn't accommodate her building anything else.
After organizing all the supplies, Bai Cheng chose the flashlight as the upgraded item for her cheng book, then, while pressing the switch, added fuel to the train.
Woo—
The train slowly started, and this time Chi Yan also stood inside the carriage.
Both of them looked straight ahead, quietly watching the giant triangular curtain in the distance getting closer and closer...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Tang Yan's arms on the plains had almost lost all sensation.
Sweat had drenched his clothes, and he was nearly exhausted, looking as if he could collapse at any moment.
Yet, he still seemed tireless, his hands constantly pushing the railcar with all his might, not even having time to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"I should have chosen a cart-pulling employee; it's all Bai Cheng's fault for disrupting my plans!" Tang Yan gritted his teeth, a fierce glint in his eyes.
He didn't know how many supplies he had missed overnight, but because it was a railcar, he couldn't carry too much.
At this moment, Tang Yan was both annoyed and furious.
Furthermore, his employee was an alligator, who not only couldn't pull the cart but even required him to carry the beast for a while when it got tired, further reducing efficiency.
But everything was worth it!
Tang Yan's bloodshot eyes stared intently at the faintly visible giant triangular curtain at the end of the grassland. All the grievances, anger, unwillingness, and even the exhaustion, hunger, and drowsiness from the journey all transformed into wild joy at this moment!
"Hahahahaha!"
"I'll be at the First Station soon, and the first arrival reward will ultimately be mine, Tang Yan's!"
But in the next second, another channel-wide mandatory announcement suddenly popped up.
【Channel Announcement!】
【Congratulations to Bai Cheng for being the first Lieche Zhang to successfully arrive at a station, receiving a special reward!】
