61 Chapter - Where’S My Cloak?!
The wasted magic crystal caused Bai Cheng deep heartache, so she was determined to see where the Trophy Altar was guiding her.
She clicked 'Agree' without hesitation, and the train's trajectory immediately began to shift to one side.
Bai Cheng raised her hand to look at her watch; the train was originally heading northeast, but now it had changed to due north.
A green employee card lay quietly at the bottom of the screen, its surface already covered with employee kill information.
Bai Cheng withdrew her gaze and looked at Scarlet Flame with some confusion; the latter immediately explained.
"Miss, the only magical beasts wandering the ridge are those magic wolves; your subordinate has not seen any other magical beasts."
She nodded, not paying much attention to it, and instead turned all the magic wolf hides Scarlet Flame had brought back into wolf head capes.
There were twenty hides in total, enough to make five capes.
The capes were overall white, smooth and soft to the touch, with a fanged wolf head on the shoulder, its upper jaw firmly clasped to the shoulder, looking imposing and powerful.
"It's quite handsome, isn't it?" Bai Cheng casually gestured.
Then she began to upgrade one of them.
Although a cape could be considered equipment, it was essentially a piece of clothing, which meant it would still be bound after being upgraded to legendary quality.
However, fortunately, even the most basic cape could resist most of the cold, and after being upgraded, it was perfectly sufficient.
Soon, the wolf head cape in her hand flashed with a purple light, and the upgrade was complete.
Bai Cheng had little interest in this item, so she directly gave it to Yu Nian without even checking its information.
Choosing to cancel an upgrade when an item has not reached its top tier is considered an item change.
Last night, Bai Cheng had already been stuck at the purple tier when helping Yu Nian upgrade items, and today, upgrading the cape immediately put the cheng book into a 24-hour cooldown.
Within this day, Bai Cheng would not be able to use the cheng book again.
However, she didn't care, as long as it could help Yu Nian.
Bai Cheng picked up another cape and gave it to Zi Yuan, so she wouldn't be as severely affected by the cold.
As for the remaining three capes, Bai Cheng chose to use them all for trade.
【Trader: Pioneer Bai Cheng】
【Trade Item: wolf head cape * 1 (3 remaining, click for details)】
【Demand: blue employee card * 2】
In Bai Cheng's opinion, she certainly wouldn't be the only one attacked by Infinite Marauders in Muddy Swamp.
And those equally excellent Pioneers might have already obtained blue employee cards.
For enhanced versions of employees like ghouls and specters, Bai Cheng always believed there was still a significant gap between them and true blue employees.
This was like rats and rhinos, both white employee cards; although they were of the same level, the difference between them was simply a chasm.
Those smart survivors would definitely not choose to recruit such employees, making the employee cards useless in their hands.
However, at this stage, Bai Cheng didn't think any survivors had already entered the snowy mountains, so these people didn't yet understand the importance of the wolf head cape.
And she was just listing it early, not expecting anyone to trade for her cape.
After listing the cape, Bai Cheng became busy again.
The scarcity of resources in the snowy mountains was no accident; she speculated that survival supplies at future stations would only become scarcer, and coupled with the flowerpots and seeds she had previously obtained, the system clearly wanted survivors to be self-sufficient.
This time, Bai Cheng directly added the 【Wild Growth】 attribute to her carriage.
A light green energy instantly filled and then permeated the entire carriage.
This attribute had no harm to people or items; its only effect was on plants, compressing their maturation period to a fixed seven days.
Bai Cheng neatly arranged her six flowerpots and then fully planted potato seeds.
"I'll be able to eat baked potatoes in seven days!" She rubbed her hands, already looking forward to it.
At the same time, Bai Cheng also crafted the Exploration Tail Ring; this was a small circular ring, and no strange reaction occurred after wearing it on her hand.
She looked left and right but found nothing special about it.
Bai Cheng couldn't be bothered with this item anymore and continued to upgrade her iron box.
It took 5 bronze ingots to upgrade one iron box, and her remaining materials were only enough to upgrade 3.
As blue lights flashed, the patterns on the iron box's surface changed, turning a bronze color.
The internal space also doubled, reaching ten slots, which was equivalent to Bai Cheng's backpack space.
"Only four bronze ingots left," she sighed, "completely not enough."
Finally, Bai Cheng also built her exquisite leather bed; in such cold weather, she didn't plan on sleeping on the floor anymore.
However, despite being called 'exquisite,' the entire bed, apart from its wooden structure, was merely covered with leather and simply padded with a layer of straw inside, without even a proper pillow.
Bai Cheng truly didn't understand what was exquisite about such a simple bed.
She turned to get the wolf head capes, intending to use them as temporary blankets.
But upon reaching the front of the train, Bai Cheng discovered that someone had already messaged her privately; she leaned in to look, and a hint of surprise immediately appeared on her face.
Tang Yan: "Make the cape cheaper, two blue cards are too expensive. Sincere trade."
Tang Yan: "How about one blue card? I can tell you important information."
Bai Cheng's surprise, of course, was that at this stage, there would actually be a survivor coming to trade a cape with her, and that person was Tang Yan.
"Has he already reached the snowy mountains?" But Bai Cheng immediately shook her head, denying her guess.
In her impression, Tang Yan's development would never surpass her own.
"It seems he learned the news through some other means again?"
Bai Cheng rubbed her chin, but she would definitely not lower the price for this guy, so she immediately replied.
Bai: "No deal, no bargaining."
Tang: "The value of this intelligence of mine is fully worth a blue card."
Bai: "How would I know if it's worth it if you don't tell me?"
Tang: "Your ability to reach the snowy mountains surprises me. I sincerely invite you again; my team is absolutely strong, and as long as you..."
Bai: "Can you stop talking nonsense? If you don't say it, forget it!"
After saying that, Bai Cheng intended to close the chat directly, and in that split second before closing, she also saw the last sentence the other party sent.
Tang: "There's a limit to level progression, and I also know the purpose of the Pioneer trial."
Bai Cheng looked surprised: "He knows this too?"
For a moment, Bai Cheng also began to doubt whether Tang Yan had actually reached the snowy mountains.
But she still didn't change her mind, just pouted: "Hmph, this young lady will know it sooner or later anyway."
She glanced at the detection station; it would still be a few hours before reaching the trophy mission location.
Bai Cheng no longer wasted time, stripped down to her undergarments, lay on the bed, and tightly covered herself with the three capes.
"Finally, /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ I can get a good night's sleep!"
Already exhausted, Bai Cheng almost instantly fell asleep.
Time flew by, the sky outside gradually darkened, and the wind and snow had stopped at some point, along with the entire train.
In a daze, Bai Cheng felt a chill spread throughout her body.
She subconsciously tried to grab the cape to cover herself more tightly but grasped at empty air.
The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes.
"No, where the hell are my capes?!"
