82 Chapter - A Small Renovation
She had a premonition that this item was extraordinary.
After exiting the Station, Bai Cheng had completely forgotten about it due to the encirclement by the survivors.
“It’s twenty Legendary items, after all; it can’t be a pile of junk, right?”
Bai Cheng clicked on the pass’s information.
“Name: Evil Totem”
“Quality: Legendary”
“Use 1: As a one-time item, summon root tendrils to bind all creatures within a ten-meter radius for 1 second, during which they cannot break free.”
“Use 2: Can be fused with a neutral Armored Core to gain the ability 【Root Tendril Spell】.”
“Use 3: Can be fused with the train’s core as an element.”
“Hint: Identical totems can be fused to gain stronger effects, with each fusion increasing effectiveness by 5% (maximum 100%).”
“Evaluation: Many uses!”
Bai Cheng was momentarily stunned, not expecting these Legendary items to have so many uses.
However, the only thing that made her feel regretful was that the Legendary item she had so painstakingly acquired turned out to be just a one-time use item.
“Sure enough, the system is still too stingy.”
But no matter what, these passes were Legendary items, and even as mere items, they still possessed an unreasonable, conceptual-level ability.
“Unconditionally mandatory bind for one second?” Bai Cheng stroked her chin, “Doesn’t that mean if I encounter stronger enemies in the future, I can defeat them by leapfrogging levels just with these items?”
Isn’t one second enough to deal with the opponent?
It’s okay, I still have 19 more!
“But given my current rate of development, theoretically, I shouldn’t encounter such enemies.”
Bai Cheng’s eyes narrowed, and she suddenly understood the true purpose of the pass.
It was meant to help survivors hunt BOSSes!
Only by completing the loot quest and defeating the BOSS can one advance to Elite-grade, and this thing is the key for everyone to defeat stronger enemies with weakness!
Bai Cheng’s mood suddenly soured again.
Why is it so easy for others to develop!
Well, it seems I’m developing too fast…
Bai Cheng chose to fuse all the passes, as the effects were stackable anyway.
As for using it as a train core element or for an Armored Core, she hadn’t even considered it; that would be too much of a loss!
As the twenty totems finished fusing, Bai Cheng curiously checked the information again.
The confinement time was increased to 20 seconds, the range remained unchanged, and the other uses were still the same.
Bai Cheng guessed that she would most likely not need this item to defeat BOSSes later, but it could indeed be used as a trump card.
She temporarily put away the slightly enlarged totem.
After adding fuel to the boiler, filling the water tank, and starting the furnace to continuously smelt minerals.
Bai Cheng released the brake lever, and the train slowly began to move.
Snow and wind swirled into °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° the carriage through the window gaps, then turned into water droplets, cold wind blew in her face, and the entire world began to recede.
The survivors she had just killed had given Bai Cheng almost no experience points; her current level was still not enough to meet the quest conditions.
But Bai Cheng still planned to wait, after all, magic crystals were too scarce and could also be used as materials; she really couldn’t bear to use them.
At the same time, Bai Cheng guessed that this time would also be similar to when she completed the loot quest previously; the altar would guide her to a destination, not merely the next Station.
Only by successfully defeating the BOSS and breaking through could the strength of Scarlet Flame and Zi Yuan become stronger.
Bai Cheng sat on the Bone Throne, so even when the train was in motion, she could still gain experience points for free.
However, she wasn’t idle; among the loot from killing survivors, there were many fragmented items, and she began to upgrade them one by one.
While gaining free experience, she didn’t forget to gain free attribute points.
In the blink of an eye, the train had been traveling for an entire day.
The snowstorm had begun to rage outside the window at some point, the surroundings were pitch black, with only a solitary train still slowly moving across this ice field.
As for why it was slow, it was because Bai Cheng had let Scarlet Flame get off to kill enemies.
This way, he could occasionally catch up with the train’s pace and also make progress on the journey.
Anyway, Scarlet Flame didn’t say he was tired.
Although the harsh snowy mountains were rich in minerals, survival resources were scarce, and the species living there were also extremely rare.
Speaking of which, Bai Cheng had stayed in the snowy mountains for a long time, but the only employee cards she had obtained were for the White Wolf and White Fox; the loot quest, of course, didn’t count.
As a golden light suddenly flashed, the most difficult item she had upgraded today was also declared complete.
“Top-tier! Enhanced Adaptive Train Line!”
“You have gained 1 free attribute point!”
After adding the attribute point, Bai Cheng reinstalled the train line and then unhurriedly checked its information.
“Name: Enhanced Adaptive Train Line”
“Output Device: Elemental Collector…”
“Enhanced Adaptive: Changes the form of related equipment (all electrical equipment), convenient for the entire train!”
“Introduction: No input device required, will not exacerbate boiler fuel consumption, energy-saving and environmentally friendly!”
“Evaluation: This is completely unscientific!”
Bai Cheng looked a bit confused, raising an eyebrow: “What does that mean?”
“Electrical equipment… Does a flashlight count?”
After all, her flashlight had already been upgraded to a Legendary item, and strictly speaking, it didn’t require electricity.
But just as Bai Cheng placed the flashlight into the output device, it suddenly disappeared.
Immediately, a prompt popped up.
“Enhanced Adaptive: Train Searchlight!”
At the same time, a bright searchlight suddenly appeared at the front of the train, emitting an orange-yellow glow that illuminated the road ahead.
Bai Cheng was slightly stunned, her eyes filled with surprise.
“It can do this?”
That flashlight was only helpful to her during the railcar period; now, it was indeed useless.
Bai Cheng put in another flashlight, and the train’s searchlights became two, like a pair of bright eyes in the night.
Then, she put in yet another one, and clearance lights appeared around the front of the train.
This time, Bai Cheng threw all her flashlights in at once; these were all her superfluous, redundant loot.
And then, the two carriages also had clearance lights, even including taillights and fog lights.
And the original searchlight was upgraded from a halogen yellow light to an even brighter white light.
For a moment, the entire train even exuded a hint of modern flair.
“What about the lantern?” Bai Cheng then submitted this endlessly energetic lantern.
Then, two narrow light strips, running parallel on both sides, suddenly appeared on the ceiling above her head.
They emitted white light, illuminating the entire carriage.
The interior had lights too!
Bai Cheng’s mood also brightened, and she could also use this to consume some things that were useless to her, which was simply the best of both worlds.
It could also be considered a small modification.
Now that the entire train had both interior and exterior lighting, Bai Cheng began to look forward to when she could further improve her living environment.
She sighed, “Forget it, let’s not think about these for now.”
Bai Cheng then took out all the employee cards she had previously obtained, her gaze sharpening.
“It’s time to recruit the third Legendary employee.”
