91 Chapter - Actually, I Arrived Early, Do You Believe It?
In a flash, two days had passed.
During the day, Bai Cheng drove at full speed, while at night, she slowed down or simply stopped the Train to allow her employees to take turns killing monsters to gain experience points.
She herself wasn't idle either; while upgrading some items, she mostly sat on the Bone Throne, gaining experience points for free.
It could be said that she maximized cost-effectiveness.
It's worth mentioning that after Bai Cheng upgraded the Furnace to its highest level, its smelting speed significantly increased; similarly, the Kiln, which has a similar function, also saw the same improvement.
After that, Bai Cheng continued to upgrade some Flowerpots.
Upon reaching their highest level, they became larger and [N O V E L I G H T] flatter, resembling nurseries; when placed closely together, they could even cover the entire carriage floor.
More crops could be planted, and with Lü Duo's ability, there was no need to worry about any cultivation issues.
In such a short time, Bai Cheng had already achieved freedom in tomatoes and potatoes.
Her current thought was where to get more seeds to enrich her planting garden.
However, the level increase over these two days was very limited; despite Bai Cheng utilizing all the time she could, she only broke through one tier.
This also made her realize that more experience would be needed for subsequent advancements.
Bai Cheng recalled her panel information.
【Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title: Bai Cheng】
【Level: Elite Tier 2】
【Experience: 100%】
【Strength: 25】
【Physique: 25】
【Spirit: 39】
【Talent: cheng book】
She shook her head, placed the employee card, which had been upgraded to epic level, into a box, and then turned to look at the detection platform.
【Distance to next Station: 70km】
"Exactly one hour left, just enough time to tidy up the carriage."
After all, if the Train merged, it would need to accommodate all of Yu Nian's supplies; she couldn't possibly let the Train be a mess, could she?
As for the boring racing competition proposed by the other party, Bai Cheng didn't take it to heart at all.
Just as she moved, Yu Nian also sent a message at that moment.
"Xiao Cheng, I'm already outside the Station!"
"Then you can enter the Station in a bit; I'll be there in an hour."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the biting snow mountain, a Train was speeding.
Yu Nian, on the Train, looked at the information on the screen and felt incredible: "No, how is she so fast?"
She had originally thought she would wait for Bai Cheng for a few hours, but now it looked like the other party was about to wait for her.
"No, I must go full speed ahead!" Yu Nian gritted her teeth and decisively activated the power of the Train's Armored Core.
The next second, a faint pink aura enveloped the entire Train, and its speed suddenly increased from 60km/h to 100km/h.
The journey that originally took a full hour was now shortened to just over half an hour...
The upgraded Furnace's smelting speed was very fast, and Bai Cheng had already processed all the minerals accumulated inside the Train.
Now, needing to free up space, she naturally planned to consume these materials.
After all, the fuel certainly couldn't be touched, and after these two days of travel, Bai Cheng's inventory still had a terrifying nearly five thousand pieces of charcoal remaining, with no need for replenishment.
After submitting all the iron ore needed for the two carriages and the locomotive, there were still over five hundred pieces left in the box, so she could only continue to submit them.
At the same time, a white light suddenly flashed across the Train while it was still moving, and it began to undergo massive changes.
The originally aggressive cyan locomotive retracted its sharpness, and the armor around its body became rounded, appearing more defensively oriented.
The space inside the locomotive also became larger, having been widened and heightened, but none of this was what made Bai Cheng most delighted.
She was excited that glass had been installed on all four windows of the Train!
Outside the windows, there were still crisscrossing steel bars to protect them, but this time, the inside of the Train would no longer leak wind.
The changes in the carriages were even more intuitive and clear: both carriages were widened along with the locomotive, and the No. 1 carriage was longer, estimated to be at least ten meters.
Bai Cheng looked at the huge changes occurring in her entire Train, filled with satisfaction.
"Now this looks like a shelter!"
Excess materials were consumed, and Carriage No. 2 was almost half empty.
Bai Cheng returned to the locomotive to check her Train information.
【Train: Steam Train】
【Level: Lv.4】
【Armored Core: None】
【Maximum number of connectable carriages: 4】
【Maximum speed: 75km/h】
【Employee No. 1: Scarlet Flame, General Tier 3.】
【Employee No. 2: Zi Yuan, General Tier 2.】
【Employee No. 3: Lü Duo, Elite Tier 9】
【Required for upgrade: 0 / 1000 Fine Leather, 0 / 300 Fine Wood, 0 / 500 Bronze Ingots, 0 / 300 Silver Ingots, 4 / 4 Train Cores.】
"Why does it need so much leather again this time?" Bai Cheng couldn't help but frown, and this time, the upgrade materials were clearly more numerous.
"Lü Duo should be reaching the General Tier soon; she'll have to work harder these few days."
She turned to look at the other party, who immediately nodded.
"This subordinate will work hard!"
Bai Cheng then turned to look at the carriage information.
【Name: #1 Carriage / #2 Carriage】
【Level: Lv.4 / Lv.3】
【Train Core Attributes: Wild Growth / Freezing Ice Seal】
【Required for upgrade: 0 / 400 Iron Ingots, 4 / 4 Train Cores / 0 / 300 Iron Ingots, 3 / 3 Train Cores】
"Still needs iron ingots..." Bai Cheng stroked her chin.
Moreover, after submitting them, all her Train Cores had already been consumed.
"I hope this time at the multiplayer Station, some delivery guys show up." Bai Cheng sighed, her gaze fixed on the front of the Train.
The two adjacent rectangular glass panes clearly reflected the scene outside the Train, and the triangular curtain at the end of her vision was getting closer and closer to Bai Cheng.
They were about to enter the Station.
Bai Cheng then looked at the detection platform, but the map was empty and did not show any traces of other Trains.
"Strange..."
As the Train approached the triangular curtain, its speed was forcibly reduced.
The burning ashes revealed a passage, and darkness immediately enveloped the entire Train.
The bright headlights lit up first, illuminating the interior environment.
This was still a multiplayer entrance Station, though not as large as the promotion Station, it still had seven tracks, just enough to accommodate a full team.
However, the entrance Station was empty, and Bai Cheng did not see Yu Nian's Train.
"What's going on?" She looked puzzled.
Bai Cheng opened the Train door, and the darkness inside the Station was instantly dispelled.
But she scanned all the surrounding walls and did not find that this was a multi-entrance Station.
Bai Cheng could only send a message to Yu Nian with uncertainty: "Nian Nian, you haven't arrived yet, have you?"
"How is that possible? I arrived a long time ago! Where are you?"
At this moment, the roar of another Train suddenly came from behind Bai Cheng.
The curtain dispersed, and a Train slowly entered.
And Yu Nian, in the driver's cabin, immediately saw Bai Cheng standing on the Station platform, hands on her hips, looking speechless and tilting her head, stomping her foot.
For a moment, their eyes met, and the former looked embarrassed.
"Ahem, Xiao Cheng, actually I arrived early, do you believe me?"
