Chapter 4 Chapter 4: If you want to get rich, start by chopping down trees!
A nuclear-powered lighter?!
Bai Cheng was startled, then revealed a look of wild joy.
It wasn't just the difference caused by the item upgrade; most importantly, Cheng Shu actually gave her some free attribute allocation!
The lighter was still the same, except that it was made entirely of metal and there was no visible power source inside.
However, the faint white aura that originally emanated from it has now turned golden, indicating that this item is extraordinary.
"Then wouldn't I be able to get a guaranteed amount of free attribute every day just by upgrading simple items?" Bai Cheng immediately came up with a plan.
Cheng Shu has a 24-hour cooldown period for changing and upgrading items, which means she can choose another item to upgrade today.
By this time tomorrow, I should be able to reach the maximum level no matter what, right?
Bai Cheng then opened her personal information. She had only glanced at it briefly when she was on the initial platform and hadn't paid much attention to it.
【Train Conductor: Bai Cheng】
【Level: None】
Strength: 3 (Standard 10)
Physical Strength: 4
【Spirit: 5】
【Talent: Clear Book】
But now it seems that her initial three-dimensional attributes of 3/4/5 are a full 18 points lower than those of a healthy adult male!
Of course, almost no one can achieve full three-dimensional accuracy in the initial state.
But for Bai Cheng, the gap between her and ordinary people is still huge.
"This body is just a pretty face, it's utterly useless except for being good-looking..." Bai Cheng couldn't help but complain about himself.
Because of the free attribute points, there is a faint +1 symbol at the end of each of her data on the screen.
With just a tap of your finger, you can add attribute points to yourself.
"This world really is like a game." But Bai Cheng knew that if she died here, there would be no resurrection coins for her.
"Strength, physique, and spirit—if we were to use the terminology from the game, they'd be more like attack power, health, and magic power?"
Bai Cheng already has a plan for allocating free attribute points.
For her to survive, strength is indispensable, and since her strength attribute is lower than her physique, she plans to develop both in a balanced way.
As for the spirit, we'll talk about that when we need it.
As Bai Cheng tapped the screen, her strength attribute increased by one point.
At the same time, she could clearly feel her body being strengthened, and her strength had increased.
Pushing the track car again, Shirai continued her journey.
Although she had gained strength, she was exhausted again after only about half an hour of driving, panting heavily.
"Gurgle..." her stomach protested desperately.
Before transmigrating, Bai Cheng had just woken up and hadn't even had time to eat. At this moment, her body was already unable to hold on any longer.
"Looks like I'm not only in poor health, but I also ate one less meal than the others..." Bai Cheng complained helplessly.
I wish I hadn't exercised first...
Despite the shortage of supplies, Bai Cheng had no other options.
She sat on the table and first took out Cheng Shu, setting the small dagger as her upgrade target.
Bai Cheng guessed that the upgrade speed of this basic item should be very fast, and then she could increase her own attributes again.
【Not a very sharp dagger: 0/20】
The condition for using this survival knife is not to swing it around in the air as Bai Cheng thought, but to use it to cut objects.
Bai Cheng still needed to eat, so he had to put the dagger aside for the time being.
Then, she tore open the packaging of the compressed biscuits, opened a bottle of water, and at the same time, she opened the chat channel to scout out the survival progress of the other survivors while eating.
"What kind of environment do you encounter after leaving the initial station? I'm in a grassland here. Although there aren't many supplies, the scenery is quite nice!"
"Upstairs +1, I'm also on a flat plain, it doesn't look dangerous."
"Me too, but what good is a beautiful view if we don't have food and water? We won't even make it through the five-day safety period, and everyone will have to give up!"
"A bunch of idiots! The railcar travels at 10 kilometers per hour. If we push it for ten hours a day, we can definitely reach Platform One in five days. Instead of chatting, we should focus on pushing the railcar!"
"By the way, everyone be careful of the treasure chests along the roadside; they're all guarded by wild beasts... I got the treasure chest, but I'm quite injured. If anyone has antibiotics or wound medicine, I can trade them for some of my supplies..."
"Ji Ni is so beautiful!!"
"......"
In an instant, many private chat messages from strangers popped up on Bai Cheng's screen.
She initially thought it was a true fan coming to defend their idol, but she never expected it to be...
"Miss Bai Cheng, would you like to sell socks? I'll trade them for water 【grinning face】!"
"Wow, you're so pretty! Do you have any used ones? 【Laughs while covering mouth】"
"Mother!"
Bai Cheng: ......
This is the downside of using real names, not to mention that there's a face that can make people stare at it and use it as their profile picture.
She wasn't exactly a hater, so she figured she might as well make the most of her daily speaking opportunities.
Most importantly, Bai Cheng wanted to see if her best friend was on the same page as her, just trying her luck.
As for those private messages, she ignored them completely.
Just as Bai Cheng was about to close the channel, she suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that the total number of users in the lower right corner had decreased.
【Regional Channel: 9923/10000】
"How many people have died in such a short time?" Bai Cheng was incredulous.
At the same time, she realized that this was a world far more cruel than she had imagined.
After finishing a pack of compressed biscuits and drinking half a bottle of water, Bai Cheng patted his stomach with some satisfaction.
"Fully recharged, let's go!"
Bai Cheng didn't come away empty-handed from checking the channel chat; he at least confirmed two key pieces of information.
Firstly, the environment everyone encounters during the safe period is this grassland or hilly area, which is low in danger but not nonexistent, although supplies are relatively scarce.
Secondly... there might be treasure chests by the roadside!
As for the person who just said to hurry up and get going, Bai Cheng checked the other person's information and found that he was a muscular man who lifted weights.
Anyway, she doesn't have the physical strength.
Moreover, even if we manage to get to Platform 1 without stopping, how will we solve the problem of water and food along the way?
Can a single human-powered railcar really protect a platform with unknown dangers when you have nothing?
In short, with Cheng Shu's help, Bai Cheng still sticks to her original ideas and strives to develop along the way.
Soon, she found ten more branches in a grove of trees, bringing her total to ten pieces of wood.
Six of the logs were used to make planks, which were laid on the flatbed of the human-powered railcar, which was full of steel frames.
The brown floor instantly gave the car a brand new look.
Bai Cheng successfully built the workbench again, and a notification immediately popped up on the screen.
Congratulations on unlocking the stone axe, stone pickaxe, stone spear, simple wooden bed, simple wooden box...
These are all basic tools and survival supplies, which will be completely familiar to Bai Cheng, who has played survival games.
She looked through it carefully again and found other items such as wooden sticks, torches, tables and chairs.
"If you want to get rich, start by cutting down trees!"
【Stone Axe: Wood*1, Stone*1】
Without much hesitation, Bai Cheng used the available resources to create a stone axe.
【Name: Stone Axe】
【Level: White】
【Durability: 10】
【Comment: Can this even be called a tool?】
With a stone and three pieces of wood left on the railcar, she crafted a stone pickaxe, using the same materials as the stone axe.
Then, Bai Cheng picked up the stone axe, got out of the carriage, and walked straight towards the small grove not far away.
These trees weren't very tall, only about the thickness of a bowl. Although Bai Cheng hadn't learned any survival skills, he believed he could still cut down trees without any problem.
Crack! The not-so-sharp stone axe blade struck the tree trunk, leaving a gash and causing Bai Cheng's hand to ache.
She frowned and chopped down with her axe.
Soon the tree in front of them fell to the ground and instantly decomposed into a pile of wood.
