78 Chapter - Too Much Supplies Is A Trouble
Trading these materials away would be a complete waste, and it would still take a lot of time to trade all of them.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to develop myself.
I'll use what I can, and pack everything else into boxes to take with me!
Fortunately, the system's design for this function was quite user-friendly, allowing Bai Cheng to claim specific materials one by one.
And the loot settlement period was a full day, which was more than enough time for her to process all these materials.
“Now that I have enough train cores, am I still afraid of not being able to use up these materials?”
Bai Cheng first claimed the key materials that could be used to upgrade the train and its carriages.
She had already gathered most of the materials needed for the locomotive, only lacking train cores and fine wood.
Bai Cheng didn't hesitate and decisively chose to submit.
The next second, the entire locomotive suddenly flashed with a brilliant white light, and in an instant, the upgrade was complete.
Bai Cheng looked around and found that the train hadn't changed from before?
At least it hadn't widened like last time.
She returned to the Station with some doubt, looking at the entire train from the outside, only then realizing that the locomotive now had many more steel Armored Cores.
Even the wheels were tightly protected, and the carriages became thicker.
The entire locomotive now looked more streamlined, and the wide front plow formed a sharp triangular shape, like a steel beast about to awaken.
The train's body color also had a faint greenish tint, making it more lustrous.
This was something Bai Cheng could see with her naked eye: the train had become much sturdier.
At least the next time it collided with an ordinary train, the other party would definitely be overturned.
Bai Cheng returned to the train's interior, quite satisfied, to check the train's new level information.
Train: Steam Train
Level: lv.3
Armored Core: None
Maximum connectable carriages: 3
Maximum speed: 70km/h
Employee No. 1: Scarlet Flame, Elite Rank Nine.
Employee No. 2: Zi Yuan, Elite Rank Nine.
Required for upgrade: 0/100 exquisite leather, 0/300 fine wood, 0/300 iron ingots, 0/400 bronze ingots, 0/3 train cores.
“As always, it increased speed and the maximum number of connectable carriages.”
Bai Cheng stroked her chin, feeling that this improvement was unremarkable, and the materials required for the next upgrade were also more numerous.
But for some materials she didn't currently need, she still didn't hesitate to choose to submit them.
Required for upgrade: 100/100 exquisite leather, 0/300 fine wood, 200/300 iron ingots, 4/400 bronze ingots, 3/3 train cores.
The iron ingots and bronze ingots were still from Bai Cheng's own inventory, just to make space for the train.
There were no already smelted minerals among these survivors' spoils of war; Bai Cheng guessed they had already submitted them to their trains.
And smelting takes a long time, so she could only temporarily store them.
It was a bit of a pity; it would have been great if the submitted materials could also count as spoils of war.
As for fine wood, although Bai Cheng still had a lot, she didn't plan to submit it to the train.
Because carriage upgrades also required fine wood, she decided to upgrade her two carriages first.
The materials required for the first carriage upgrade had already been submitted, and now only one train core was missing.
As Bai Cheng gathered the materials and chose to upgrade, the entire carriage also flashed with a dazzling white light.
In the blink of an eye, the upgrade was complete.
Bai Cheng noticed at a glance that the carriage had lengthened by at least three meters.
She paced to estimate, and the length was probably around seven meters; the space was already very sufficient.
Consuming 100 fine wood and 1 train core, Bai Cheng decisively continued to upgrade her second carriage.
As a result, with two carriages and ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) one locomotive, the total length of the entire train had almost reached twenty meters.
“Hmm, if I have the chance in the future, not only should I have a bedroom, but Zi Yuan and Scarlet Flame shouldn't be forgotten either.”
Bai Cheng had already begun to silently plan in her mind, but the space in the newly added carriage was still very limited at the moment.
Both planting and storage required a large amount of space, so it was clearly not yet luxurious enough to build dormitories for her employees.
Bai Cheng then looked at the next level upgrade for the carriage, but immediately frowned.
Name: #1 Carriage
Level: lv.2
Train Core Attribute: Wild Growth
Required for upgrade: 0/200 iron ingots, 2/2 train cores.
“Why does it need iron ingots again?” She raised an eyebrow.
As for train cores, she had no shortage of them, so Bai Cheng decisively chose to submit.
The entire train, with all its upgrades, now required a total of 700 iron ingots. Where would she get so many materials?
“The path to upgrading is becoming increasingly difficult,” Bai Cheng sighed, and finally synthesized all the remaining wood into fine wood, which she then submitted to the locomotive upgrade materials.
The most abundant, unmanageable, and yet very important materials left were coal and charcoal.
The combined amount of these two, plus Bai Cheng's original stock, had reached a terrifying nearly 9000!
How to deal with so much coal and charcoal?
Bai Cheng could only use the boxes from the loot to pack them all and temporarily stack them in the new carriage.
Including some miscellaneous items, this carriage was already full before she even had a chance to use it.
And the iron ore reserves had also reached an astonishing over a thousand.
But they were all unsalted, so Bai Cheng couldn't use them directly.
“Alas, there's still not enough space.”
Bai Cheng would never have thought that one day she would be troubled by having too many materials.
She summoned her cheng book, picked up the few beginner backpacks that these survivors still had, planning to use them as her next upgrade items.
At least this could help her slightly alleviate the space pressure.
Just as Bai Cheng was about to start upgrading, her peripheral vision caught sight of a barefoot purple figure slowly approaching with a knife from the depths of the corridor.
Zi Yuan was back!
At this moment, she was as calm as ever, but her entire body exuded a strong smell of blood, and the killing intent that had not completely faded still felt tangible.
It was clear that she had killed many people.
“Miss, Zi Yuan has dealt with all of them.”
After speaking, she dumped all the passes Bai Cheng had given out earlier onto the table.
Then, Zi Yuan tilted her head and smiled, as if asking for praise.
Bai Cheng put down the backpack in her hand and embraced her without the slightest hesitation, gently patting her back.
“Good, our Zi Yuan is the best.”
“Hehe!”
Zi Yuan's face flushed, happy like a child.
And Scarlet Flame, standing at the door, closed the train door at this moment.
“It’s time to leave the Station!” Bai Cheng's gaze immediately turned to the front of the train.
Zi Yuan was in charge of resting, Scarlet Flame immediately took her position to prepare to drive the train, and Bai Cheng also waved her small hand and immediately ordered.
“Depart!”
