60 Chapter - Loot Mission
“The cold erosion isn’t over yet?”
Bai Cheng was startled; usually, all anomalies in Silent Night would completely disappear by dawn.
But now, the wind and snow outside the window had not only not diminished in the slightest but had become even more violent.
“What’s going on…” Bai Cheng pouted. She was very sure that this cold erosion had started with the abnormal weather.
In other words, even though it was daytime now, the influence of the cold had not disappeared.
“Does it have to be this disgusting?”
By this time, it was completely bright. Bai Cheng’s gaze through the window also revealed the true situation of the surrounding desolate snow-capped mountains.
Snow-white high mountains were situated on all sides, obscuring the sky and sun, with the train tracks winding around their base.
The blizzard falling from the sky obscured most of the view; everything was a vast expanse of white.
Looking out, Bai Cheng didn’t see any vegetation or living creatures; instead, it was all dead silence.
This snowy mountain terrain was far more desolate than she had imagined.
“There isn’t even a single tree,” Bai Cheng frowned. “How will the train get fuel then?”
She suddenly remembered what that Infinite Marauders had said before he died: the journey was indeed getting harder and harder.
Seeing that there were no resources to collect in the snowy mountains even during the day, Bai Cheng became even more determined to speed up the journey.
Perhaps the next terrain would be better?
But Red Flame had not yet returned, so the train couldn’t depart yet.
She sent a message to Yu Nian: “Resources are scarce here, and it’s windy and snowy even during the day. I plan to go all out and speed up.”
After all, there was really nothing to develop, but the other party immediately replied with a string of question marks.
Yu: “??? Huh? It’s not snowing here, the weather is great!”
Bai Cheng was stunned, looking out the window, then at the screen. She knew Yu Nian wasn’t joking with her.
“So, you’re targeting me, right?”
She immediately realized that the daytime wind and snow might be random, but she wasn’t sure if it had any impact on the snowy mountains.
But after further inquiry, Bai Cheng found that the situation was still as bad as ever.
“Hiccup~” Bai Cheng covered her mouth and yawned. Her eyelids were already drooping. Having not rested all night, she was now increasingly sleepy.
But Bai Cheng still forced herself to check the items she had unlocked in the Bronze Age.
“2 copper ingots, 1 tin ingot…” After some operations at the workbench, 1 bronze ingot was synthesized.
The 150 copper and tin ores obtained in total at the platform could only synthesize 50 bronze ingots.
It was at the moment of crafting the bronze ingots that a notification popped up on the screen, indicating she had unlocked new items.
【Bronze Ingot +1!】
【Congratulations! You have unlocked Bronze Axe, Bronze Pickaxe, Bronze Armor Set, wolf head cape, Loot Altar, Bronze Chest…】
There was almost no difference from the items unlocked ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) in the previous Iron Age, but there were indeed a few things Bai Cheng had never seen before.
She checked them one by one.
【Name: Bronze Armor Set】
【Includes Equipment: Bronze Helmet, Bronze Chestplate, Bronze Leggings, Bronze Sword, and Bronze Shield】
【Description: Provides effective protection, allowing you to also possess a certain level of combat power.】
【Crafting Requirements: (Per piece) Bronze Ingot * 10】
【Evaluation: But what if the enemy is a demon beast?】
Bai Cheng decisively clicked close. This item was undoubtedly useless to her.
I have employees, why would I fight myself?
【Name: wolf head cape】
【Quality: Excellent】
【Description: A cape made from the fur of a Frost Demon Wolf. Paired with a handsome wolf head, it can effectively resist cold and provide a certain degree of protection.】
【Crafting Requirements: (Frost Demon Wolf) Leather * 4】
【Evaluation: If you don’t want to freeze to death, you can try to take a risk.】
This item was also useless to Bai Cheng, as her clothes could already resist cold erosion.
Bai Cheng stroked her chin. She found that these items seemed to be almost useless to her.
Whether it was tools or equipment, she could obtain them through the cheng book’s enhancement, and the effects were even better.
Instead of building these bronze tools, it would be more important to use these more limited resources entirely for upgrade materials.
“The train’s upgrade is clearly above all else. As for tools, just enough is fine.”
Bai Cheng then looked at the last unknown item she had unlocked. To be honest, she didn’t have too much expectation for the altar’s function.
【Name: Loot Altar】
【Quality: Excellent】
【Description: Do you want to gain extraordinary power? Then complete the altar’s tasks!】
【Construction Requirements: Bronze Ingot * 30, Magic Crystal * 1】
【Evaluation: Where true danger and opportunity coexist.】
“What does that mean?” Bai Cheng was a bit confused.
But just by its literal meaning, this altar seemed to give her tasks, and as long as she completed them, she could become stronger?
“It looks like it would be more efficient than simply killing demon beasts to gain experience?” Bai Cheng guessed.
However, the materials required for construction even included a magic crystal, which made her feel a little pained.
【Name: Magic Crystal】
【Description: A crystal that can only be dropped by demon beasts of normal level or above. Using it directly adds 100 experience points.】
You know, that’s a hundred experience points!
Red Flame and Zi Yuan worked hard to kill enemies, and Bai Cheng could only get 1 experience point, which was equivalent to killing a hundred demon beasts.
Moreover, Bai Cheng only had 3 magic crystals at the moment. Her original plan was to use them all at once when either of her two employees or she herself was about to break through a level, to quickly reach the next level.
“I hope you don’t disappoint me with this thing.”
Bai Cheng took a deep breath and still chose to build it.
The widened carriage didn’t have to worry about not having space to place this new structure.
But Bai Cheng still chose to place it in the back right corner of the locomotive.
The next second, this black circular structure suddenly appeared. Its size was not as large as imagined; instead, it was only about the volume of a box.
The smooth circular surface was carved with complex patterns, and black unknown liquid flowed in the grooves.
Although Bai Cheng couldn’t understand it, she immediately noticed that there were two irregular grooves on this altar, as if for placing something.
Before she could examine it carefully, these patterns had already converged into a line of black text.
【Name: Loot Altar】
【Current Loot: 0 / 2】
【Route Guidance: Frozen Cave 300km away】
【Prerequisite: None】
【Hint: After agreeing to activate the loot quest, your train’s trajectory will automatically change to this area. After collecting all loot, a promotion challenge will be unlocked.】
Bai Cheng looked at the information above, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.
“So, what’s the direct connection to getting stronger?”
“And what the hell is that promotion challenge?”
And just at this moment, Red Flame happened to return with several wolf pelts, and Bai Cheng decisively released the brake lever.
“Anyway, with my strength, it should be a piece of cake. Let’s go!”
