97 Chapter - Everything Was Looted, Thank God For The Gift!
Bai Cheng had even overestimated the convenience store owner's defenses.
When Zi Yuan's blade struck, his body was split in two.
Judging by his appearance, it was highly likely he was a being without a physical body. Red Flame immediately followed up with Hellfire, incinerating his corpse.
This time, he was absolutely, undeniably dead.
As the corpse burned to ashes, it left behind a crystal emitting a faint white glow.
Even from a distance, Bai Cheng recognized it as an Elemental Core.
She jumped from the rooftop, steadily catching Yu Nian, before approaching the convenience store owner's corpse to examine it.
"Why would killing him drop an Elemental Core?" Bai Cheng was puzzled; she had never encountered such a situation before.
Moreover, this Elemental Core looked no different from an ordinary one, except for the milky white glow emanating from within, which prevented Bai Cheng from guessing its elemental attribute for a moment.
Bai Cheng picked it up and then looked at her three employees.
Among them, Lü Duo tilted her head slightly, like a child waiting for praise. Bai Cheng smiled, "Everyone worked hard."
"Miss, your subordinate will definitely strive to advance to the General rank!" Lü Duo promised confidently.
If she were of the General rank, she could easily defeat enemies like the convenience store owner by herself next time.
But speaking of which, no one would have expected this convenience store owner to be so troublesome.
His incredibly fast speed left even Zi Yuan and Red Flame helpless for a time.
However, Bai Cheng was still confident in this outcome, only Yu Nian beside her seemed delighted and incredulous.
She exclaimed, "Isn't this guy the System's avatar? He can actually be killed!"
Then she scanned the entire Station, which had been turned into a mess, her excitement evident.
"Does that mean... everything in this Station is ours?!"
"That's right, start moving the supplies," Bai Cheng said with a smile, adding, "But don't be too hasty. It would be even better if we could wait for other survivors to arrive."
"Xiao Cheng, you know I love to work!"
After saying that, she rushed into a nearby shop ahead of them, beginning to frantically scavenge everything useful.
Red Flame and Lü Duo also started to get busy, leaving only Zi Yuan by Bai Cheng's side.
Bai Cheng unhurriedly put on her shoes and socks. Instead of going to the convenience store first, she found the screen in the nearest shop to check it.
"Zi Yuan, is this guy a living creature?" she asked curiously.
Zi Yuan nodded and then shook her head: "Zi Yuan isn't sure either."
She then added, "But when Zi Yuan cut off his head, that energy that makes one stronger didn't surge within her body."
She was referring to experience points.
At this moment, Bai Cheng's gaze also fell on the screen; it was still the default interface, without any information.
There were no warnings about violating Station rules, nor any prompts or rewards for killing the convenience store owner.
It was confirmed: this convenience store owner was not a living creature; killing it yielded nothing.
Bai Cheng then clicked to examine the Elemental Core in her hand.
【Name: Carriage Elemental Core】
【Attribute: Space】
【Description: This mysterious and counter-intuitive ability can compress your carriage space to store more goods.】
【Evaluation: Seems a bit overkill?】
Bai Cheng was slightly startled: "Space attribute?"
And from the description, it was not hard to deduce that this Elemental Core, after fusing with the carriage, would most likely create an enlarged spatial box.
In a sense, it was indeed the perfect elemental choice for building a warehouse for the train.
But as the evaluation said, wasn't this a bit overkill?
The convenience store owner had used the power of this Elemental Core. Although his exact level was unclear, his ability to hold off the Immortal-grade Red Flame and the Legendary-grade Zi Yuan in a two-on-one fight clearly showed his strength.
This was a very tricky ability.
Unfortunately, Bai Cheng didn't have the customizable Armored Core with her, otherwise she could have checked the abilities associated with a Space-attribute Armored Core.
"If the effect is good, I can consider fusing it," she silently decided.
After collecting the three skill books from the shop, Bai Cheng also took Zi Yuan to the most central area within this Station: the Lava Convenience Store.
Upon entering, the layout of this convenience store was largely similar to convenience stores in her memory, but the actual floor area was smaller.
Various goods were neatly arranged on several rows of shelves, a dazzling array.
Looking around, it included all kinds of food and daily necessities, and even some tools, tobacco, and alcohol.
However, correspondingly, the prices of some scarce materials were ridiculously high.
Bai Cheng guessed that if calculated based on the purchasing power of a normal survivor, the supplies in this convenience store could probably support dozens of people.
But this was a multi-person Station, and the later survivors arrived, the fewer supplies they could purchase.
Those behind Bai Cheng were probably in for a big disaster.
"So much food?!" At this moment, Yu Nian also entered the convenience store, exclaiming with delight.
"Finally, no more roasted meat!"
Though she was greedy, she didn't immediately pick out her favorite foods to feast on. Instead, like a little money-grubber, she packed all these items into her backpack, not wasting a single second.
"Xiao Cheng, I'll pack the food, you go pack the daily necessities!" Her voice came from inside the shelves, followed by her excited naming of items.
"Sandwiches, potato chips, bread, biscuits, chocolate, instant noodles, ham..."
Bai Cheng hummed in response and then moved to the daily necessities section.
Everything here was ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) also complete, including washbasins, towels, shampoo, body wash, facial cleanser, etc.
There were also other things like toilet paper, water cups, three-piece bed sets, and duvet cores—things Bai Cheng normally considered commonplace.
But they were now in the Infinite Train world, and every single one of these supplies was undoubtedly of great help to them.
Bai Cheng also became excited: "As expected, free shopping is the best!"
"Thank the heavens for this gift!"
Meanwhile, above the snowy landscape, a train was quietly approaching the Station....
