44 Chapter - Blue Treasure Chest
“Those who can lead everyone and become Pioneers must be talented!”
“Bai Cheng has been buying employee cards without picking and choosing. Who would need 50 employee cards? Her talent must be related to employees!”
“And Lin Qiuyue, where does she get so much fresh water? She’d probably dry herself out and it still wouldn’t be enough, right? Her talent is related to water!”
“Yu Nian from our channel is also a slut, and she suddenly started buying employee cards too. Either she’s friends with Bai Cheng, or she’s an enemy. In short, they must know each other!”
“Hmph, the most mysterious one is still Leng Ningxue. She became a Pioneer without a sound, and she’s even first in the channel!”
“By the way, what’s the use of this title? It can’t really just be for showing off, can it?”
“......”
Pioneers were originally people who had emerged in their respective channels. Their names frequently appeared on the exchange, they could always produce astonishing amounts of supplies, and there were even system announcements from time to time.
They were all famous, and due to certain actions, they became the subject of speculation regarding their talents.
Tang Yan looked at the messages on the screen, nodding occasionally. These people’s guesses coincided with his own.
At the same time, he curled his lips: “Fortunately, I didn’t overly display myself in the channel. These people probably don’t know that exposing one’s talent can attract Infinite Marauderss.”
But at the same time, he shook his head and sighed: “It’s a pity my talent still has too many limitations, otherwise I could know these people’s talents and then select excellent teammates.”
Thinking of Xiao Ran’s conversations with him these past few days, Tang Yan frowned deeply.
The other party was like a simpleton. Could such a fool really have talent? And how did he become a Pioneer?
Tang Yan’s expression suddenly turned ruthless.
“If you dare to deceive me, I’ll just use you to supplement my train core!”
Meanwhile, on the other side, a train engine was constantly bumping into tree trunks, moving slowly forward.
Niu Dali, lying on his bed, held a green employee card and then burst into a fit of wild laughter.
“Hahahahaha, I’m so lucky! I actually encountered two demonic beasts fighting. Now I just need the second carriage!”
Dong—!
Prompts kept appearing on the screen.
“Train Durability -1%”
“Current Remaining Durability 49%!”
“It’s time to repair the train,” Niu Dali sprang up with a carp jump, then consumed the supplies he had prepared long ago.
“Everyone must be resting at night. Now is the best opportunity for me to pull ahead of them!”
Niu Dali showed a smug expression at his own cleverness.
He had already realized that only by continuously reaching stations could he quickly improve technology and thus lead everyone.
Looking at the chat on the channel, Niu Dali showed a hint of confusion again.
“Even if I don’t have talent, didn’t I still become a Pioneer?”
At the same time, Lin Qiuyue, who had parked her train on the swamp, had just finished showering.
There were still some water stains on the carriage floor. She ran her fingers through her hair and looked at the screen.
“Team up? You should also be able to guess that my talent is related to water.”
“By the way, you’re very pretty. I like you...”
Even if they weren’t Pioneers, all the survivors who had made it this far weren’t fools.
Everyone could see the importance of the team function, not only the benefits of grouping together for development, but also being able to unite to deal with sudden dangers.
Within just one hour of the function being unlocked, everyone was recruiting teammates everywhere.
Some people would directly post messages in the channel, while others quietly scouted for candidates behind the scenes.
As for the Pioneers, their first choice was naturally to form teams with other Pioneers.
Bai Cheng was no exception; she also received many private messages.
However, Bai Cheng had already formed a team and had no intention of adding others to it.
Yu Nian, on the other hand, had tried to persuade her, asking if she should recruit a few more teammates, as there is strength in numbers after all.
Bai Cheng looked at Zi Yuan, her eyes becoming firm.
“Can any number of Pioneers compare to my legendary employee?”
She decided to give Yu Nian a surprise when they reunited.
Zi Yuan’s strength had greatly exceeded Bai Cheng’s expectations. She ventured deep into the mist, actually slaying all the phantoms around, and her speed was incredibly fast, even bringing back a blue treasure chest!
“Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title...” Zi Yuan had just started to speak when Red Flame interrupted her.
“You should address her as Miss.”
Zi Yuan paused, then changed her words: “Miss, the demonic beasts have been cleared. This is the treasure chest found in their territory.”
After speaking, she respectfully presented the treasure chest with both hands.
This was Bai Cheng’s first time seeing a blue treasure chest. It was slightly larger than a fine treasure chest, but other than that, the patterns and designs on it were almost identical.
She still couldn’t feel its weight, nor did she know what was stored inside.
Bai Cheng didn’t observe it too much and immediately opened it impatiently.
“Opened Excellent Treasure Chest: Obtained (Train Core) Element Collector * 1, Train Track Line * 1, Fine Wood Decoration (Blueprint) * 1, Potato Seeds * 10, Scrap Iron * 10.”
There were ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ only five items in the blue treasure chest, but besides the last two, Bai Cheng had never even heard of the first few, let alone seen them.
“Train Core Element Collector?”
Bai Cheng picked up the small cylinder. Inside were three staggered transparent pipes, through which an unknown liquid flowed.
“It must be for modifying carriages.”
“Name: (Train Core) Element Collector”
“Quality: Excellent”
“1 Element Collection: None”
“2 Element Collection: None”
“3 Element Collection: None”
“Compatible Train Core: None”
“Description: A key device used to collect elements and modify the carriage core. To activate it, it must first be powered.”
“Evaluation: Any of your actions can collect elements for it. Isn’t that convenient enough?”
Bai Cheng frowned: “Powered?”
She looked at her simple steam train. With a steam engine, generating electricity wasn’t difficult, but unfortunately, there was no equipment...
“Wait, this Train Track Line couldn’t possibly be...” Bai Cheng’s eyes lit up, and she immediately checked its information.
“Name: Train Track Line”
“Input Device: None”
“Output Device: None”
“Description: The Train Track Line will automatically pave and cover the entire train, providing you with electricity through the steam engine!”
“Evaluation: Is this scientific?”
“Good stuff!” Bai Cheng’s face immediately showed joy, and she decisively chose to use it.
The next second, she found that several intersecting lines had appeared on the train’s ceiling.
One end was directly connected to the steam engine, and there were also lines extending down from both sides to connect other equipment.
Bai Cheng looked at the information on the screen, and the input device column now included the name of the steam engine.
She then clicked on output devices, but the only facility that could be added at the moment was the element collector she had just obtained.
However, Bai Cheng was not discouraged. Even with electricity, she had no equipment and still couldn’t improve her current living environment.
But at least it meant this was a good start.
As for the last Fine Wood Decoration blueprint, Bai Cheng could guess its purpose just from the name.
“Name: Fine Wood Decoration (Blueprint)”
“Description: After use, it will automatically lay fine wood decoration for one of your carriages.”
“Required Materials: Fine Wood * 50”
“Not enough wood...” Bai Cheng sighed and could only temporarily give up on using it.
She yawned, looked out of the train, and instructed.
“Red Flame, go clear the tree trunks ahead. We need to advance a certain distance, then continue to slay the demonic beasts around!”
