42 Chapter - The Second Golden Employee Card!
Hearing this, Scarlet Flame was stunned.
He looked up at Bai Cheng, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Scarlet Flame might have understood this world very well, but he was not clear about some specific rules of the train, nor did he know how to recruit new employees.
Now, hearing what Miss said, if another helper of similar strength appeared...
The Silent Night would indeed no longer be in danger.
Driving a train in the Silent Night also carried certain risks, not to mention who knew if there were even more dangerous magic beasts ahead?
Considering all factors, recruiting a second employee was the optimal solution.
Of course, Bai Cheng was definitely not doing it for experience points.
After Scarlet Flame nodded, he said nothing more and continued to guard around the train, while Bai Cheng summoned the cheng book and once again set the employee card as the upgrade target.
【White Employee Card: 20/20】
The upgrade method remained unchanged, still requiring card synthesis, but the quantity had increased significantly compared to before.
However, Bai Cheng was not overly worried, because the current white employee card was nothing more than a cheap item.
As a green light flashed, the stack of employee cards in her hand instantly disappeared, leaving only one.
【Green Employee Card: 28/30】
Bai Cheng raised her eyebrows: “Thankfully, it didn’t directly double.”
And the Ghost Employee Card she had obtained earlier was also absorbed, but there was no unexpected surprise; one green employee card was still equal to two white employee cards.
She had thought that the nearly fifty employee cards in her hand would easily synthesize a gold employee card, but now it seemed there was still a long way to go.
Bai Cheng had no other choice but to continue selling her hoarded supplies for transactions.
“Thankfully, I have enough supplies,” she sighed in relief.
Employees were to be recruited sooner or later, and these supplies obviously didn't need to be rushed.
Fuels such as coal and charcoal naturally could not be used for exchange, so iron ingots and scrap iron became the only option.
As for those tools, Bai Cheng still needed them for upgrades, so they could not be sold.
Turning around, she came to the carriage and looked at the layer of leather spread on the ground; these were all moved by her earlier, prepared to be used as a mat for sleeping at night.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot about them!” Bai Cheng slapped her forehead.
These leathers could be said to be the most useless items for her at the moment, because the upgrades of the train and carriage did not require leather now.
Moreover, even if they were used for trading, she could quickly replenish them by killing beasts.
“Let’s see how many there are first.”
Bai Cheng immediately synthesized all the leather on the ground into refined leather.
While it was still early, she immediately submitted all of them to the exchange.
【Trader: Pioneer Bai Cheng】
【Trading Item: Refined Leather * 2 (Remaining 100)】
【Demand: Any White Employee Card * 1】
There was no other way; this item was not only useless to Bai Cheng but also dispensable to most survivors.
Since refined leather was not a necessity, she could only slightly raise the price to achieve faster sales.
If she were selling raw materials like scrap iron, Bai Cheng could completely do a one-to-one exchange.
“I can get fifty white employee cards after the transaction,” Bai Cheng muttered, “That should be enough, right?”
This way, she wouldn't have to sell her other important supplies.
Survivors who had lived until now were not foolish; most of them instantly guessed that Bai Cheng’s large-scale acquisition of employee cards was due to her talent.
And as a Pioneer, she was already a widely watched presence among all survivors.
As soon as the order was put on the shelves, it immediately became the topic of conversation for this group of people.
However, in contrast, sales were not as good as Bai Cheng had imagined.
Only every few minutes would a survivor occasionally come to trade her refined leather.
Bai Cheng didn't look at the guesses of these people in the channel about her talent; her gaze was fixed on the exchange.
“This speed is too slow; it’s practically delaying me from gaining experience points!”
But she didn't want to raise the price, otherwise, if the employee cards were not enough, she would have to sell her important supplies.
Glancing over, Bai Cheng saw Yu Nian once again put up several original orders.
However, this time it was even more explosive than the previous times, but when she saw the supplies the other party demanded, her pupils constricted.
【Trader: Pioneer Yu Nian】
【Trading Item: A pair of worn white stockings / Strawberry Panties * 1】
【Demand: Any White Employee Card * 3 / Any White Employee Card * 5】
“This...” Bai Cheng was speechless for a moment, unsure how to comment.
She probably guessed Yu Nian’s behavior of trading employee cards; it was very likely for herself.
“It’s just that these things can really be sold....”
But before Bai Cheng could finish her sentence, the order in front of her instantly disappeared.
She opened her mouth in extreme shock, and the latter half of her sentence slowly came out, “...out?”
“No way, buddy!” Bai Cheng couldn’t believe it, “Who the hell is buying this stuff?!”
She suddenly remembered that she had bought a pair of Yu Nian’s socks before, and her fingers stiffly clicked on the shelf.
The next second, two white employee cards slowly floated down in front of her.
“Ha....”
Now Bai Cheng believed it, and she couldn't help but be convinced.
At this moment, Yu Nian also sent her a message.
“Boo hoo hoo, Xiao Cheng, I’ve sacrificed ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) everything for you. I’m still wearing a skirt, and it’s chilly below now, boo hoo hoo.”
Seeing this message, Bai Cheng felt a little embarrassed, but the next second, the other party revealed her true colors.
“So, Xiao Cheng, isn’t it too much to ask you to call me ‘Mommy’? (Playful)”
“......” Bai Cheng was speechless, but thinking that the other party was also doing it for her, she sighed.
“Mommy.”
“Hehe, mwah, I’m starting!”
“???”
Yu Nian didn’t reply anymore and actually quieted down, and at the same time, an email popped up in front of Bai Cheng.
She chose to receive it, and inside were ten employee cards.
“This guy...” A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Cheng’s eyes, “She didn’t even ask me what I was collecting employee cards for.”
“I’ll compensate you later,” she whispered, silently upgrading the employee in her hand.
【Blue Employee Card: 15/40】
“Does it increase by ten each time?” Bai Cheng’s eyes narrowed, and she roughly saw the pattern, but her head also ached more.
“Which means I’m still short of nearly 80 cards?!”
Bai Cheng gritted her teeth; she would recruit the second employee tonight no matter what.
“Excluding the remaining exchangeable refined leather, I’m only short by thirty-two cards.”
She glanced at the remaining iron ore in the iron box; there were still 33 pieces.
“Enough!”
Bai Cheng decisively put it on the shelf.
The sales of iron ore were indeed incomparable to refined leather; it was sold out in less than a minute.
And all Bai Cheng needed to do next was to quietly wait for all the refined leather to be sold.
Finally, an hour later, all orders were completed.
The drowsy Bai Cheng’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately jumped down from the table.
“Second legendary employee, upgrade!”
