“It’s Bai Cheng again; she actually has iron ingots!”
“Last night, she was also buying up scrap iron in large quantities, and Tang Yan and Lin Qiuyue, those two big shots, were doing the sa. Could it be...?”
“Scrap iron can be refined into iron ingots! Damn it, why didn’t I think of that!”
“Idiot, I already guessed it! If I didn’t lack resources and couldn’t refine scrap iron, I would have traded for it too!”
“Her luck is so damn good! Another big shot has appeared. With so many big shots, why can’t there be one for ?!”
“And she’s so pretty... Hehe... I just don’t know if she has a boyfriend, hehehe...”
“Brother upstairs, exercise so restraint! Be careful you don’t crash and burn!”
“......”
Initially, these people were rely envious of Bai Cheng’s good luck, even praising her beauty and causing a stir with her photo.
But soon, after carefully examining the order, these people turned to cursing Bai Cheng.
Just like when they criticized Lin Qiuyue, they called her a profiteer.
“Don’t you all think... that three pieces of scrap iron for one iron ingot, that price is ridiculously expensive?”
“Hiss, now that you ntion it, it’s true. I didn’t expect such a pretty girl to have such a black heart!”
“Profiteer! Everyone, don’t trade!”
“Um... can I trade a signed overall for a bottle of water?”
Watching the people in the channel begin to verbally attack her, Bai Cheng felt no ripple in her heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.
She wasn't just talking when she said she planned to get rich using the furnace.
After staring at the channel for another two minutes, no one ca forward to confirm that her exchange ratio was incorrect, aside from their cursing of her.
This also happened to show that Bai Cheng was currently the only one in the entire channel who possessed a furnace.
“I gambled right, Lin Qiuyue and Tang Yan, those two guys, don’t have furnaces either!” Bai Cheng curled her lips. She was playing on an information gap.
So she imdiately explained in the channel:
“Scrap iron is not the main material for slting iron ingots. It ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) contains many impurities. Two pieces of scrap iron can only successfully slt into one iron ingot, and it also requires a large amount of wood as fuel.”
As soon as she said this, the people in the channel finally reacted.
Although a few still didn't believe her and continued to accuse Bai Cheng of deception and being a profiteer, most people had seen scrap iron. Its irregular shapes, so even rusty, indeed looked like they contained many impurities.
Most of them were willing to believe Bai Cheng, and those who wanted to trade for iron ingots had no choice but to believe her.
Of course, all of this was mainly due to Bai Cheng's previous transaction prices being not only fair, but even generous.
“Bai Cheng, this girl, I believe she’s a good girl. When she was trading four thin pieces of wood for one piece of scrap iron before, why didn’t you all call her a profiteer?”
“Exactly. The slting ratio is already two to one, and she still has to consu fuel. Who would trade without making a profit?”
“Although the price is indeed outrageous, Miss Bai Cheng doesn’t want it to be this way either!”
“Sigh, beautiful and kind-hearted. If it were , I wouldn’t explain to you ungrateful wretches. Trade if you want, don’t if you don’t.”
“Girls like this are rare. I love her, I love her.”
Bai Cheng almost laughed out loud looking at these ssages. No one else had a furnace, so what price was it if not whatever she said?
Bai Cheng closed the channel and stopped paying attention to the people's chat.
At the sa ti, she had also calculated the fuel burning ratio for the furnace.
Full fuel is 10 units. Taking coal as an example, burning one piece of coal can slt two pieces of iron ingot.
One furnace of coal can slt exactly two furnaces of scrap iron.
And wood could also be added to the fuel furnace, but Bai Cheng didn't test it. She knew the ratio would definitely be much lower than coal.
“Every half hour at night, I can get 5 pieces of coal. That’s exactly two furnaces per hour, so I can slt continuously.”
Bai Cheng glanced at her box. The coal she obtained last night was completely enough for today’s use.
But even if it wasn't enough, she could still acquire more.
There were currently over eight thousand people remaining in the channel, and the market was not very large. Survivors trading for iron ingots were intermittent.
However, Bai Cheng was not worried, because this was just enough to et the demand.
Last night, she acquired a total of 51 pieces of scrap iron. After using 10 for building the furnace and trading 12 to Lin Qiuyue, only 29 pieces actually remained in Bai Cheng’s hands.
And this was already the second furnace.
“It’s scorching hot.” Bai Cheng pouted.
The heat radiating from the furnace was too high. Even though she was naked in this small room, she was already drenched in sweat.
She touched her clothes, which had already dried. She quickly put them on and activated the cooling mode.
After confirming that the scrap iron and fuel in the furnace had both been added, Bai Cheng was ready to continue her journey.
But as soon as she stepped onto the drive chanism, she realized that two private ssages had appeared on the screen at so point.
“Tang Yan?” Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow. “What does this guy want with ?”
As for the other private ssage, it was of course from Lin Qiuyue, but Bai Cheng could probably guess what she would say, sothing like “Sister, you’re amazing, you actually managed to get a furnace.”
Bai Cheng wasn't in the mood to waste ti flattering her. She was mainly curious about what Tang Yan wanted.
Because the latter was clearly not soone who would casually chat with people.
Tang: “How did you get the iron ingot refining equipnt? Material unlock? Opening a box? Day or night?”
Tang: “Are there any ways to improve the railcar or add carriages after entering the Iron Age?”
Tang: “Two pieces of scrap iron to slt one iron ingot, are you sure you’re not lying?”
Bai Cheng rolled her eyes. Why should I tell you?
She simply read the ssages and didn't reply. The other person's words also happened to remind her to look at the tools and buildings unlocked in the Iron Age.
“Iron Axe, five iron ingots, that’s so expensive?”
“Mount saddle, iron sword, furniture, what is all this?”
Bai Cheng had the cheng book and could directly upgrade tools, so building any tool was not cost-effective.
Moreover, these were all basic tools, and there was no equipnt that directly affected the train.
Bai Cheng guessed that it was because she hadn't upgraded the railcar yet, which obviously ant not all items of the Iron Age were unlocked.
After all, she had entered the Iron Age early, which clearly corresponded to the steam train tier.
“Oh, the wooden box can be upgraded?” Bai Cheng suddenly noticed that the wooden box on the car had an upgrade option.
【Na: Iron Box】
【Quality: Excellent】
【Upgrade Required: Wooden Box, Iron Ingot * 2, Thin Wood * 2】
【Description: A storage box with 5 stackable slots, totaling 100 units of space.】
【Evaluation: Ignore weight, be yourself!】
“You an after the steam train, you’re going to remove the weight limit for , right?!” Bai Cheng’s face darkened. “So you were deliberately targeting the novice protection period, huh?”
However, building an iron box was a pure waste of materials. Bai Cheng already had her small backpack, which was enough for her, so she didn't plan to build one.
After closing the interface, she originally intended to continue her journey, but Tang Yan seed to know she had read his ssages and sent another one.
Tang: “Tell this information, one employee card, how about it?”
Bai: “Brother, don’t you know this information is like beloved relatives and brothers to ?”
Tang: “Then you...”
Bai: “You need to add more money!”
