【 Na: Bronze Axe 】
【 Level: Blue 】
【 Durability: 50 】
【 Evaluation: As a regular axe, it can cut down most trees. 】
The heavy cyan iron axe in her hand imdiately transford into a smooth and lighter Bronze Axe.
Bai Cheng weighed it, feeling it beca even more convenient to use.
“Fifty trees. If I cut trees while traveling, I should be able to complete the upgrade again today.”
But soon, Bai Cheng shook her head again, “No, I can’t waste all my ti during the day. Resources are only most abundant at night.”
However, at this stage, she still needed to trade for that employee card from Tang Yan first.
With a goal in mind, she was full of vigor.
Bai Cheng pushed the railcar, and wherever she passed, not a single tree remained.
Before long, the small railcar was already piled with nearly a hundred logs, and Bai Cheng found it difficult to push the cart any further.
Dayti was not like nightti; the locations of each small grove were not close, and the ti wasted cutting trees was even less than the ti spent traveling.
Looking at the sun above her head, Bai Cheng guessed that it was already nearing noon.
She was hungry, too, so she wiped the sweat from her forehead, prepared to eat sothing, and rest for a while.
Browsing the trade orders on the screen, Bai Cheng found that most of the food listed by people was so rather unappetizing at.
Things like the at of herbivores or compressed biscuits were hardly traded by anyone; instead, they were kept for personal consumption.
Bai Cheng didn't have many choices, so she eventually traded 20 logs for a portion of wolf at.
The at of carnivores was generally very unappetizing; omnivores were slightly better.
“I hope wolf at tastes similar to dog at,” Bai Cheng sighed, even though she had never eaten dog at.
Lighting a bonfire and setting the at to roast, Bai Cheng opened her box again and took out four pieces of scrap iron.
Looking at the palm-sized, irregular iron pieces in front of her, she had a premonition that these things could be converted into iron ingots.
After all, she had never discovered any minerals along the way.
Bai Cheng decided to build the pulley transmission device first; otherwise, it would make transporting wood very laborious for her.
【 Na: pulley transmission device 】
【 Required Materials: Scrap Iron * 4, Leather * 2 】
As Bai Cheng clicked to use it, the entire control lever in front of her suddenly flashed with a white light, and then a new, seemingly uncomplicated device appeared before her eyes.
The principle was actually very simple: the railcar was originally operated by pushing the control lever up and down, but now with the addition of chains and gears, Bai Cheng could drive the railcar more effortlessly, like riding a bicycle.
“Looks pretty good?” Bai Cheng tried riding it, and using her feet to apply force was indeed more labor-saving than using her hands.
Moreover, this could also prevent her from developing overly muscular arms.
The at «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» was also roasted, and after sprinkling so salt, Bai Cheng simply finished her lunch.
Although Bai Cheng was already very tired, her goal had not yet been achieved, so she forced herself to continue cutting trees.
In a short while, fifty logs were easily collected.
Bai Cheng successfully traded for the second employee card from Tang Yan.
“Still twelve more,” Bai Cheng sighed.
She wanted to upgrade all the employee cards to gold at once when she had collected them all.
This ti, Tang Yan didn't even say a word, and Bai Cheng also knew that the two of them would never have another chance to cooperate.
Bai Cheng was not at all surprised by this; in her opinion, this protagonist was not only too lazy to cut trees but also arrogant and conceited. She strongly suspected that he was a 'Dragon Aotian' type of character.
Now that 250 units of wood had been traded from Bai Cheng, only half of the 100 fine wood required for the train upgrade materials remained.
Bai Cheng guessed that he would most likely use other resources to continue trading for the remaining wood.
She subconsciously clicked on the trade interface, but the order that caught her eye made her instantly speechless.
【 Trader: Tang Yan 】
【 Traded Material: Employee Card (Rabbit) * 1 】
【 Demand: 150 Wood. 】
“How do you still have more?” Bai Cheng was shocked. She seriously suspected that all the animals had run off to find this Tang Yan.
“Is this the protagonist's halo? It's terrifying.”
To be able to kill so many beasts, he must have tools at hand.
And Bai Cheng could only attribute it to her own talent ability.
“It seems I'm not the only one with a talent, but for now, it seems that talented survivors are quite rare.”
She muttered to herself and then turned back to cutting trees.
This ti, the other party would definitely not bargain again, as the price was already 50 cheaper than before.
Just as Bai Cheng had guessed, the other party was indeed collecting materials for the train's upgrade.
And he was exchanging them for those useless employee cards.
Bai Cheng suddenly felt that the other party was the real profiteer, purely deceiving those survivors who had never seen employee cards.
More than an hour later, Bai Cheng collected over a hundred more logs.
She imdiately traded for this employee card.
At the sa ti, this action also alerted Tang Yan, who replied almost instantly.
But he wasn't there to chat; instead, he extended an olive branch to Bai Cheng.
Tang Yan: “It seems you are also a talented one. I apologize for my previous rudeness. How about joining ? I can give you an employee card for free as a token of sincerity.”
The other party's words undoubtedly confird Bai Cheng's conjecture.
However, she had no intention of teaming up with others, and besides, she wasn't interested in n.
Moreover, this guy was utterly unreasonable, so Bai Cheng retorted impolitely.
“Everyone is on their respective trains, so what's the point of even teaming up?”
Tang Yan: “You don't understand the rules of the Infinite Train yet. Haven't you noticed that resources along the way are very limited?”
“It's like this all the way until we reach First Station. The steam engine... that's a reward for those who own the First Station and survive.”
“Of course, we can team up afterwards. I admire you; you're capable, and you're pretty too.”
After he finished speaking, a notification imdiately popped up on the screen in front of Bai Cheng.
【 Survivor Tang Yan has sent you an email! 】
Bai Cheng subconsciously clicked to view it, only to find that it was an employee card.
And the image on the front was not the small animals he usually traded, but a mighty white rhinoceros!
This was truly an employee that could be used as a survivor's first employee.
“This guy...” Bai Cheng's eyes widened, “He really is self-important!”
Tang Yan's ssage popped up again: “You can keep the employee card for now. We can decide about teaming up after we take First Station. It's fine even if you refuse; just consider it making a friend.”
The resources that a rhinoceros employee card could be traded for were by no ans comparable to those previous employee cards.
Yet he would actually give away sothing like this?
Clearly, this guy wasn't after her wood earlier.
“Heh...” Bai Cheng decisively rejected the email and replied.
“I appreciate the offer, but I'm afraid I'm not worthy of being your teammate. Let's just forget it.”
