54 Chapter - Cleanup Progress 100%
"Armored Core?!"
Bai Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief, then instantly transformed into wild joy.
In her impression and understanding, this Armored Core should be used to add attributes or defense to the entire train.
Accordingly, its rarity should also be higher than that of a train core.
But what Bai Cheng didn't expect was that she obtained this important item at the Second Station.
And since there was a screen right in front of her to display information, she eagerly checked it immediately.
"Name: Armored Core"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Attribute: Basic Defense Barrier"
"Description: Once fused, an elite-grade protective barrier will automatically generate around your train. It needs to be actively activated each time and lasts for half an hour."
"Fusion: You can use the Armored Core's skill, but once fused, it cannot be changed. You can only replace it with a higher-level core of the same attribute."
"Evaluation: Even the most basic product can greatly strengthen your train."
Bai Cheng's gaze sharpened, revealing an expression that said, 'Just as I thought.'
However, what surprised her was that the Armored Core's skill could also be applied to the Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor).
"So, with this thing, I can also become inhuman?"
This was not difficult for Bai Cheng to understand; it was just learning a skill.
But the restriction that it cannot be changed once bound forced one to choose carefully.
Bai Cheng put away this Armored Core. Anyway, she possessed the cheng book, which could be upgraded, so she was not in a hurry.
Taking advantage of the large screen in front of her that could display information, she then checked the other items she had obtained.
First was the special blueprint dropped from shattering that throne.
"Name: Withered Bone Throne (Special Blueprint)"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Description: A building blueprint with a special single function. Once built, when you sit on the throne, you will automatically gain 1 experience point per minute."
"Evaluation: Even truly slacking off can make you stronger."
"Construction Cost: 300 unlimited coins"
Bai Cheng's face immediately lit up with joy: "This is the real good stuff!"
Now, when danger was encountered, it was mostly handled by the employees, and most of the time during the journey was spent on the train.
Special buildings like the Withered Bone Throne were exactly what Bai Cheng needed.
"This blueprint should be my biggest gain from the station."
Bai Cheng swiped her finger and then checked the information on the scythe she was equally curious about.
"Name: Shadow Scythe Blade"
"Quality: None"
"Description: As a shaping and fusion material for forging a destiny weapon, it can grant you the ability to summon shadows."
"Evaluation: Myriad abilities, singular preference."
But upon seeing this information, Bai Cheng immediately frowned: "What is this thing?"
"And what is a destiny weapon?" She tilted her head and looked at Chi Yan.
But this time, the other party obviously didn't know either.
"Then it seems to be an external item produced by the system."
Bai Cheng stopped delving deeper and put it into her backpack.
She then looked at the kill information on the screen but did not find any prompt about the black robe.
Clearly, as Zi Yuan had said, this was not a living creature.
And Bai Cheng did not see any other prompts, no leaderboards, no extra rewards; the entire prompt bar was empty.
"Chi Yan, let's go."
Just as Bai Cheng was about to leave with Chi Yan, she bumped into Yu Nian and Zi Yuan, who were coming down the stairs.
The latter immediately said, "Xiao Cheng, this castle only has five floors. We've already cleared it."
Bai Cheng looked at the small screen beside her, and the clearing progress had indeed reached 100%.
And Yu Nian seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, right, there's a vending machine upstairs. The next terrain is a snowy mountain, and it happens to sell cotton clothes."
But mentioning this made her furious, pouting with a look of dissatisfaction.
"It actually dares to ask for a hundred unlimited coins for one cotton coat! They might as well just rob us!"
Bai Cheng's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, because she smelled a business opportunity!
"Nian Nian, let's go take a look!"
Bai Cheng went up to the fifth floor again and saw the very out-of-place vending machine at the end of the corridor.
With her previous experience, this time she operated it skillfully, and quickly scanned most of the items.
Unlike the First Station, this vending machine at the Second Station had many new items added.
Food was no longer just single cans; there were also instant noodles, bagged sandwiches, and so on, with more variety.
The item section indeed sold various styles of cotton clothes, just as Yu Nian said. Not only were they sets, but the price was ridiculously expensive, reaching as high as one hundred unlimited coins.
One hundred unlimited coins could buy nearly a month's worth of food from the vending machine.
But the terrain after leaving the station was a snowy mountain, deadly cold.
Not buying these cotton clothes was simply not an option.
Bai Cheng pouted, "Why does it feel like some unscrupulous merchants are profiting from national calamities?"
"Not just unscrupulous, but utterly shameless!"
Yu Nian angrily denounced it from the side, but out of necessity, she eventually obediently bought the cotton clothes.
Bai Cheng didn't buy clothes, only enough food to sustain the three of them for three days.
"Nian Nian, resources are scarce in the snowy mountains. You'd best buy some food as backup."
"That reminds me," Yu Nian's eyes flashed, "I have an idea!"
"We can buy more food and store it. Later, when other survivors successively enter the snowy mountains, food prices will definitely rise. Then, wouldn't we get rich by directly selling it off!"
But Bai Cheng shook her head upon hearing this.
After the channel merger, the base number of survivors became larger, and everyone's travel routes were not exactly the same.
Those survivors who arrived at the snowy mountains first could completely use an information asymmetry to purchase food from those who had not yet arrived at the snowy mountains.
Wanting to sell food at a high price, the opportunity was clearly slim.
"My idea is better."
"What?"
Yu Nian looked confused, but then she noticed that Bai Cheng's gaze was always fixed on the cotton coat in her hand.
She immediately reacted, her face beaming with joy: "You're right, how could ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ I not think of that? Xiao Cheng, you're a genius!"
Yu Nian immediately turned around and excitedly kissed Bai Cheng, her demeanor natural and her speed so fast that it caught people off guard.
Bai Cheng, on the other hand, stiffened. Fortunately, the dim environment perfectly concealed her gradually reddening cheeks.
After being stunned for several seconds, Bai Cheng finally took a deep breath and spoke with extreme seriousness: "So, Nian Nian, you are not allowed to sell those intimate clothes anymore."
Yu Nian pouted and explained, "They're not that intimate, actually. What I sell are all the outermost layers, they dont even touch the skin..."
"That's still not allowed!"
Hearing Bai Cheng's extremely serious and unquestionable tone, she immediately softened, lowering her head and saying aggrievedly.
"I was wrong..."
"Nian Nian, your talent is very strong. There are a hundred ways you can obtain resources. Do you know, how will others look at you if you do this? What kind of person will they think you are?"
Yu Nian pursed her lips, then suddenly hugged Bai Cheng, resting her head against her chest.
"I promise, I absolutely, absolutely won't sell them again!"
"Xiao Cheng, don't be mad at me."
She whined and rubbed against her.
Bai Cheng took a deep breath, unable to say the rest of the words. Finally, she could only say helplessly, "Okay, let's go."
