"Blue employee card?"

Bai Cheng was visibly stunned, taking a moment to process the information.

"Were these the employees of those guys?"

But they looked like ordinary pack monsters, weak and unremarkable.

Bai Cheng recalled that the opposing train had six employees in total, one of which was white and the other one one green, both seemingly normal.

Curious, she flipped through the cards, examining the information of these possibly mutated employees.

[Name: Rare Employee Card (Elite Ghoul)]

[Description: They have undergone enhancement by an unknown force, making them significantly stronger.]

[Evaluation: However, the results appear somewhat... underwhelming?]

Bai Cheng froze, immediately catching the key detail.

"So, employees can be enhanced later to change their grade?"

Without a doubt, these Infinite Raiders’ employees must have originally been Green Uncommon. Somehow, they had been upgraded to Blue Rare.

"Hiss~" Bai Cheng took a deep breath. "So the reason why Book of Cheng can’t upgrade items or employee cards to the final Red Eternal grade is related to this?"

"Don’t tell me it needs some kind of core again?" She raised an eyebrow.

This information was crucial. It could give her a strategic advantage.

Then, she turned her attention to the screen to check her loot.

Although this wave of Infinite Raiders had fewer members, their equipment was clearly more advanced than the last group. Naturally, the rewards should be just as bountiful.

[Your loot has been calculated!]

[You have obtained: Charcoal ×980, Wood ×500, Empty Iron Chest ×20, Iron Axe ×2, Iron Ingot ×50, Detection Desk ×1, Green Pus Crystal ×35, Flower Pot ×10, Tomato Seed ×20, Tomato ×30, Toxic Eel Meat ×10... Infinite Coins ×80, Damaged Train Core (2/5).]

[You may freely choose which items to discard!]

Bai Cheng’s face lit up with joy. Who would’ve thought that these four people’s train had been packed with so many supplies, far more than the previous group!

Even better, there was hardly any useless junk. Even the most common material like wood still had value to her.

But here was the problem. If she wanted to take everything, her train simply didn’t have the space.

After all, she only had one carriage, while the enemy had four fully loaded ones.

"Sigh, having too many supplies is also a kind of trouble."

Bai Cheng sighed in mock distress, though her smirk was harder to suppress than an AK’s recoil.

Since she couldn’t carry it all, the obvious choice was to sell it!

Now that most survivors had passed the beginner stage, furnaces had become commonplace. As a result, coal, scrap iron, and even wood had risen in value.

This also meant that Bai Cheng no longer had much in the way of high-demand trade goods.

Still, being self-sufficient, she realized that she wasn’t actually lacking anything.

Unlike last time, she wasn’t pressed by the station’s countdown, so she had the entire night to slowly offload these goods.

"These guys even grew tomatoes?" Bai Cheng was surprised.

Their loot didn’t include an element collector, which meant that their carriages were just ordinary ones.

From planting tomatoes to harvesting them... these people must have been living on the train for a long time, far longer than most survivors.

"Too bad I can’t store them." Bai Cheng pouted, picking up a tomato and taking a bite.

The bright red juice flooded her mouth, and she shuddered.

"Ugh, so sour!"

She decisively gave Yu Nian ten tomatoes, kept ten for cooking, and sold the rest.

"It’s been a while since I checked the exchange. What are the prices like now?" She opened the marketplace, scanning the current rates.

"1 iron ingot for 1 Infinite Coin, 1 charcoal for 2 wood, 1 piece of beast meat for 1 scrap iron..."

Resting her chin on her hand, Bai Cheng noted that exchange rates had returned to their original, balanced state.

But since she lacked nothing, trading these materials was pointless.

With quick taps, she listed nearly all her loot on the exchange.

She only kept the Infinite Coins, tomato seeds, and the damaged train core. They were all key items that she couldn’t afford to lose.

Even most of the charcoal were sold off as there was no more space for them.

[Trader: Pioneer Bai Cheng]

[Item: Wood ×4 (500 remaining), Green Pus Crystal ×3 (35 remaining)...]

[Request: 1 Infinite Coin each...]

Converting goods into coins was the most efficient choice.

As for tools like the pickaxes, the detection desk, and the flower pots, Bai Cheng priced them reasonably. It wasn’t too high, but still within most people’s budgets.

She checked her current balance: 996 Infinite Coins.

All thanks to Chi Yan and Zi Yuan’s hard work over the past two days!

"Hitting 1,000 coins will be a breeze this time. I hope the vending machine doesn’t disappoint."

As for the expensive ’Random Carriage Element’, Bai Cheng had no intention of buying it.

With her element collector, its value was pitifully low now.

But for other survivors who couldn’t obtain blue treasure chests, they had no choice but to purchase it.

Bai Cheng sold four flower pots, keeping six for herself.

The flower pot blueprint she had acquired earlier was also sold off.

Now, with the Wild Growth element, seeds, and flower pots, she could start farming immediately as long as she had the space.

"Once I get the next carriage, I’ll turn it into a planting carriage." She made up her mind.

"I hope the next station has more Infinite Raiders!"

By the time all the goods were sold, Bai Cheng had earned an additional 614 Infinite Coins.

Looking at the pile of gleaming coins, her mood soared.

"I’m rich!"

It was late into the night. Outside, Zi Yuan was nibbling on roasted meat while keeping a sharp watch on their surroundings. Meanwhile, Chi Yan had long since vanished into the mist, slaughtering everything in his path.

Bai Cheng stretched and prepared to sleep—

When suddenly, a golden light flashed from her water generator.

[Top-Grade! An Inexhaustible Water Bottle!]

[You have gained 1 free attribute point!]

"What the—?" Bai Cheng was shocked, "Infinite water source?!"

All that time upgrading the water generator had finally paid off!

The device had transformed into a sleek black water bottle with a simple switch on top. Pressing it released a steady stream of water.

[Name: Inexhaustible Water Bottle]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Description: The water flow rate is fixed. Water can flow out, but cannot flow in.]

[Evaluation: A bottle that holds an entire ocean?]

Bai Cheng immediately pressed the switch to test it.

The water flow was... well, slower than expected but still usable. It was about the same speed as her own... ahem, ’natural output’.

She set the bottle down and glanced at her other water generator.

The next upgrade would take even longer, and a second infinite water bottle wouldn’t be useful anyway.

"Alright, you can scram now."

[Infinite Coins +3]

This time, Bai Cheng chose a simpler item to upgrade, which was her hair tie.

[Hair Tie: 0/10]

But she didn’t proceed further. It was time to sleep.

Just then, a message from Yu Nian popped up on the screen.

"Little Cheng, I’ve reached the station!"

"Also, your tomatoes taste awful!!"
