White Platinum Pickaxe: 0/200
The pickaxe was now entirely platinum-colored, shimring with a faint glow.
Bai Cheng picked it up to feel it, and it was even lighter than the previous Ancient Gold Pickaxe.
"The White Platinum Pickaxe is already of legendary quality, I didn't expect it not to be the top tier."
She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. This indicated that there would be another tal technology after this, and it also ant that the pickaxe in her hand could most likely be upgraded to the immortal level.
This guess surprised Bai Cheng a bit: "Can the cheng book really upgrade items to the immortal level?"
After all, this had never happened before.
Shaking her head, Bai Cheng didn't think about it anymore. After transporting all the ancient gold ore onto the train, she prepared to continue her journey.
"Let's continue for a while before it gets completely dark."
During this ti, the furnace on the train was operating rapidly, and hot, golden minerals were constantly being slted.
Bai Cheng ca to the screen and first upgraded the train's locomotive using the available materials.
As a white light flashed, the entire interior of the locomotive was instantly refreshed.
The interior was more refined than before, with dark brown leather and wood panels decorating all sides, and gold trim added to details such as door handles, window edges, and equipnt switches.
Although it had no practical use.
However, as the train's level increased, the interior of the vehicle was indeed becoming more luxurious.
Bai Cheng looked at the train's upgrade information.
"Train: Steam Train"
"Level: Lv.7"
"Armored Core: Spatial Matrix"
"Maximum Connectable Carriages: 6"
"Maximum Speed: 110km/h"
"Employees: Scarlet Fla, Warrior Fifth-tier / Zi Yuan, Warrior Fifth-tier / Lü Duo, Warrior Fourth-tier / Azure Bird, Warrior Fourth-tier / Huang Yu, Warrior First-tier"
"Installed Components: Employee Watchtower, powered railcar"
"Upgrade Requirents: 0/2000 White Platinum Ingots, 0/20 Train Cores, 100 Magic Crystals."
"The materials required for upgrades are getting more and more expensive," Bai Cheng sighed.
"But we're getting closer and closer to Lv.9."
Nine was the extre number, just like their level divisions. Bai Cheng guessed that by then, the train would definitely reach the peak of its current stage, and then begin its advancent.
This consumption of 2000 ancient gold ingots almost depleted her hard-earned day's inventory.
Fortunately, upgrading the carriages currently didn't require ancient gold ingots, and even if they were needed, the upgrade cost would only be one-fifth, or even less, compared to the locomotive.
Bai Cheng then began to upgrade the five carriages on the train. This ti, she raised them two levels, and all carriages were now the sa level as the locomotive, having reached Lv.7.
The changes brought by the carriage upgrade were equally intuitive; while the interior space beca larger, it also beca more luxurious.
However, this ti the carriages didn't get longer, only slightly wider.
Bai Cheng glanced at the layout inside each carriage; all rooms remained unaffected.
Arriving at Carriage Four, Huang Yu was currently preparing dinner.
Bai Cheng's gaze turned to the screen beside him.
"Na: #1 / #2 / #3 Carriage ..."
"Level: Lv.7 ..."
"Train Core Attributes: Wild Growth / Profound Ice Seal / Psionic Energy ..."
"Upgrade Requirents: 0/300 White Platinum Ingots, 0/10 Train Cores ..."
She didn't pay too much attention, turned around, and sat on a nearby chair, propping her chin on her hand and staring blankly out the window.
"Oh, right, stop the train in a bit," she said to Huang Yu.
"Yes, Young Miss."
Soon, Silent Night completely descended, and the entire world was enveloped in darkness.
The friction between the wheels and the tracks began to emit a harsh sound, and in the dead of night, the buzzing of insect wings gradually echoed.
"Young Miss, dinner is ready." Huang Yu brought so at and vegetable dishes to the dining table.
Seeing this, Bai Cheng also got up, intending to wake Leng Ningxue and Yu Nian.
After their heart-to-heart last night, Leng Ningxue had moved to Carriage Five to live with them.
The bed was placed on the other side of the carriage, and she was currently lying on her side, her body trembling continuously.
Bai Cheng paused slightly and called out softly, "Ningxue?"
The latter's body suddenly ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ stiffened, and she turned over, saying sowhat unnaturally, "Bai, Bai Cheng... how are you..."
"Upgraded again?" she asked curiously.
"No, no," Leng Ningxue said, blushing, as she sat up from the bed, then explained.
"Yu Nian was going to teach how to use it, but she fell asleep, so I thought I'd figure it out myself..."
"Is that really true?" Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow, her face full of disbelief.
"Really, I promise, I swear!"
"So how does it feel?"
"It's... like an electric shock... very pleasant, completely different from when I was tornted by the side effects before."
Oh no, you haven't fallen, have you, Ningxue!
Bai Cheng didn't say much, just patted her shoulder aningfully.
"Hmm, keep it up!"
"Dinner is ready, get up and eat. We still need to grind for experience later."
"Okay," Leng Ningxue nodded repeatedly, "but I need to take a shower first."
Bai Cheng then turned and went to Yu Nian's bedside. This girl was sleeping very soundly; their conversation hadn't woken her at all.
"Nian Nian, wake up, it's ti to eat."
"Xiao Cheng, I want you to be my pom-pom..."
She mumbled in her sleep, turned over, and completely ignored Bai Cheng's call.
"..."
Seeing this, Bai Cheng could only take a deep breath: "Wake up!"
"Ah, what, who? Where!"
Yu Nian shivered, then suddenly opened her eyes.
Tilting her head, she saw Bai Cheng's face close to her bed and shouted, "Xiao Cheng, are you trying to kill !"
"Don't you know scaring people can make them wet themselves!"
She rubbed her eyes, muttering, "Darn it, my beautiful dream..."
After dinner, the group repeated their actions from last night as usual, except this ti they didn't need to mine.
But things didn't go as smoothly tonight as they had last night.
Around midnight, an annoying acid rain descended.
Due to the acid rain, all the attacking venomous snakes retreated, and even the insects disappeared after the train was electrified.
"Why does it have to rain now?" Bai Cheng expressed her displeasure.
Yu Nian, beside her, also stretched and sighed, "Ugh, I was almost able to break through."
"No choice, let's keep moving."
The acid rain currently had no effect on the train. After the three closed all the windows, they had no choice but to restart the train.
The steel beast sped forward in the pouring rain, and ti quickly reached midnight.
The next second, a prompt suddenly popped up on the screen.
"Pioneer Ultimate Trial activated!"
