40 Chapter - Miss, Be Careful, There Is A Monster Coming!
Xiao Cheng, why did you buy my socks? Are you missing your mom's scent?
Bai Cheng rolled her eyes, speechless, but she couldn't very well explain that she was just too embarrassed to speak first.
It seemed her good friend, Yu Nian, was still the same as before; even in the Infinite Train's survival wilderness, her mindset didn't seem to waver in the slightest.
Bai Cheng simply chose to ignore her and continued to ask,
Bai: "Do you have an odometer? How far are you from Second Station now?"
Yu: "1870 kilometers left."
Bai Cheng was momentarily stunned, feeling surprised, and then looked at her own odometer.
"Distance to Next Station: 1809km"
She had departed half a day earlier, yet Yu Nian's remaining mileage was similar to hers, which meant that the other party had also left the station around noon on the fourth day.
And she had also completed a series of tasks, such as killing Infinite Marauderss, gathering supplies, and upgrading her railcar.
Since they were both Lv.1 Steam Trains, their travel speeds must have been identical. Estimating from the mileage, the time difference in their departures was only about an hour.
Bai Cheng suddenly realized that Yu Nian's talent was probably terrifyingly strong as well.
Looking at it this way, it was no surprise that she was able to obtain the Pioneer title.
"I didn't expect Yu Nian's speed to be not slow at all." Bai Cheng rubbed her chin. If both of them traveled normally without intentionally trying to match times, they could almost arrive at the next station simultaneously.
But Bai Cheng couldn't help but ask curiously,
"How did you get the Pioneer title?"
Yu: "Call me Mom and I'll tell you (wink)."
Bai: "Forget it if you're not going to tell me."
Yu: "No, no, no, I'll tell you, alright? It's just a reward for being the first to log in to the station. Besides showing off, it's useless. Aren't you, Xiao Cheng?"
Bai Cheng remembered that when she first logged into the station, the exclusive reward issued indeed included the Pioneer title.
However, she had already obtained it before that, so the reward was replaced.
"Yu Nian was also first. It seems she doesn't know either." Bai Cheng was more curious about how Tang Yan, Lin Qiuyue, and others got their Pioneer titles.
If it had been before, she would have directly asked Lin Qiuyue.
But ever since her unscrupulous merchant behavior was exposed, the other party hadn't chatted with her, and Bai Cheng felt even more embarrassed to initiate a conversation.
"Never mind, it's an insignificant thing anyway."
Bai Cheng checked her station ranking rewards.
"Congratulations! You have achieved first place. Your reward is: Detection Platform (Blueprint)."
"Name: Detection Platform (Blueprint)"
"Description: Can detect survivors or Infinite Marauders trains within a 10-kilometer radius."
"Construction Requirements: Odometer * 1, unlimited coins * 100"
"Radar?" Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow. This item would indeed be very useful to her.
She happened to have all the required materials for construction, so she chose to use it without any hesitation.
The odometer, like a pocket watch, and the hundred unlimited coins scattered on the ground instantly vanished, replaced by a cubic device, forty centimeters in length, width, and height, resembling a bedside table.
It was entirely black, its surface appearing unremarkable, except for a large square screen at the top, which was even larger than Bai Cheng's system screen.
She curiously leaned closer and found that the screen displayed a map of a 10-kilometer radius.
However, most of the area was shrouded in mist, with only a small area around the train emitting light.
At the same time, a green light dot, centered on the train, continuously flickered, regularly spreading out green light circles.
Some text information was also displayed in the upper left corner.
"Current Area: Muddy Swamp (Silent Night)"
"Current Status: No abnormalities for now"
"Distance to Next Station: 1809km"
Bai Cheng didn't move its position and simply placed it next to the control panel.
Yu Nian was still chattering away with her.
Bai Cheng gradually accepted her best friend's talkative nature, though her occasional shocking remarks still caught her off guard.
However, at least there was someone she could talk to, which was much better than watching those people chat in the channel.
While chatting, Bai Cheng checked the Survival Dagger, which had been upgraded half an hour earlier.
This dagger, more exquisite than the initial small knife, had now undergone a complete transformation, becoming longer, more refined, and sharper.
Rather than a dagger, it was more like a short sword.
"Top-tier! Blade of Severance!"
"You have gained 1 Free Attribute Point!"
"Name: Blade of Severance"
"Quality: Legendary (Bound)"
"Description: Can sever any weapon of Legendary quality or below."
"Evaluation: Cuts through iron like mud, severs anything. The birth of a divine artifact!"
Bai Cheng's face lit up with joy: "Another conceptual weapon!"
Even without testing, she knew very well that the phrases "cuts through iron like mud, severs anything" in the evaluation were by no means exaggerated adjectives, but rather statements of fact!
"It was worth pulling out so many strands of hair upgrading you for so long!"
Bai Cheng had already discovered a pattern: weapon upgrades were completely different from other tool upgrades; once they reached the top tier, they could be described as absurd.
The previous Blade of Certain Death and the current Blade of Severance were both like this.
However, Bai Cheng also felt a bit of a headache. If she continued to upgrade the dagger, the time required would definitely increase significantly.
But then she thought, this weapon didn't seem to be a strict necessity; relying on Scarlet Flame for combat was completely sufficient.
Moreover, Bai Cheng was about to recruit her second employee, so the utility of these weapons seemed to become less and less important to her.
"Hmm, if I have time, those manufactured weapons can also be upgraded." Bai Cheng mused, things like iron swords and iron spears would surely also possess absurd characteristics.
Looking at her mental attribute, which had already reached 9 points, Bai Cheng finally chose to add one point to it.
Now, all three of her main attributes had broken through to ten points or more, and her overall physical fitness had already far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Bai Cheng felt incredibly powerful now, capable of killing an old ox with a single punch.
She flexed her biceps, showing them off, but there wasn't a single muscle on them...
After placing the Blade of Severance aside, Bai Cheng then picked up the stack of white employee cards.
"I never thought something ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) so valuable during the novice period would now be so common."
Bai Cheng casually flipped through the cards; among them were some beast employee cards, but they were also sold at low prices.
"If I remember correctly, the second employee can be chosen from green quality, right?"
However, almost everyone still didn't have a carriage yet and couldn't recruit their next employee.
Bai Cheng looked at the employee cards in her hand, feeling somewhat uncertain: "I hope these forty-plus employee cards can successfully synthesize into a gold one."
Just as she had chosen the employee cards as her upgrade target, Scarlet Flame's alert voice suddenly rang out from outside the carriage.
"Miss, be careful, a monster is coming!"
