In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

During this time, it was calm, and Bai Cheng and the others were no longer pursued by the Merfolk Clan.

However, this might also be due to the train constantly moving, but all in all, they were now less than a thousand kilometers from the next Station.

Inside the train, Bai Cheng was still tallying the mineral harvest from this trip, and after counting, she found that it was still a bit short of what was needed to upgrade all the carriages.

Looking out at the tumultuous sea, countless whirlpools continued to spin.

"We'll have to mine one last time," she said with a frown.

Every mining expedition was undoubtedly a risk.

"If all of us move together, we can quickly get these few hundred ores."

"Exactly, and we're about to enter the Station," Yu Nian also nodded. "Even if we encounter a strong enemy, we still have a chance to escape using the anti-perception coating."

No one would believe that these magical beast races could step inside the Station.

"Then we'll still use the old method," Bai Cheng said, activating the powered railcar at the rear of the train.

The train couldn't stop, which also made it easier to accelerate.

The operation quickly began, but this time Bai Cheng did not personally participate; instead, she chose to stay on the train to upgrade the carriages.

The most important was the train head, which she upgraded first.

As a white light flashed, Bai Cheng found that the vehicle hadn't changed much from before; aside from the Armored Core's color turning platinum, the space, interior, and everything else were almost the same as before.

She raised an eyebrow, "It can't be that the upgrade was for nothing, can it?"

Soon, Bai Cheng found a special button on the dashboard, and a thoughtful prompt appeared on the screen beside it.

"Stealth System Activated!"

"Introduction: You can manually toggle this system via the button. It has no side effects and consumes no fuel. When activated, it will actively block the perception of magical beasts beyond a thousand meters."

"Oh," Bai Cheng's tightly furrowed brow relaxed, but then she also felt a bit displeased, "I should have upgraded the train head earlier!"

It is well known that magical beasts and magical beasts are completely different species.

The anti-perception coating on the train's Armored Core was actually only effective against those magical beasts that lacked intelligence and acted purely on instinct, which were more like wild beasts than true magical beasts.

However, it was completely ineffective against intelligent races.

The current stealth system was naturally created to target the latter.

But it was only perception stealth, not physical stealth.

For example, a Town Guardian Level Merfolk Clan member, even if unable to perceive the train's existence from a thousand meters away, wouldn't be blind on this open sea; they could still see it with their eyes!

"Forget it, having it is better than not," Bai Cheng sighed.

At least the Merfolk Clan generally wouldn't appear on the surface of the sea.

Closing the prompt, she turned to check the materials required for the train's next upgrade.

"Train: Steam Train"

"Level: Lv.8"

"Armored Core: Space Matrix"

"Maximum Connectable Carriages: 7"

"Maximum Speed: 130km/h"

"Employees: Chi Yan, General Warrior Tier 8 / Zi Yuan, Town Guardian Level 1 / Lü Duo, General Warrior Tier 6 / Qing Niao, General Warrior Tier 5 / Huang Yu, General Warrior Tier 4 / Lan Xiaoyu, General Warrior Tier 5"

"Installed Components: Employee Watchtower, powered railcar"

"Upgrade Required: 0 / 2000 Star Diamond Ore, 0 / 30 Train Cores, 300 Magic Crystals"

"Another new type of ore..." However, this time Bai Cheng keenly noticed that the upgrade only required the original ore, and it seemed no longer to need processing.

"There's only one more level, and the train should {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} undergo a qualitative transformation."

Just then, Leng Ningxue, Yu Nian, and several employees finished mining and caught up with the train in the powered railcar.

After all these ores were put into the furnace, their final mission in the Nameless Sea was successfully completed.

"Alright, next, full speed ahead to the next Station!"

The train traveled from day to night, and throughout the entire process, Bai Cheng and Yu Nian were not idle, just like in the previous few days.

One person was frantically upgrading Legendary items, while the other was frantically replicating, and Leng Ningxue, who was free, was responsible for communicating with other Survivors in the channel and selling these items.

The three of them thus formed a small industrial chain, rapidly accumulating magic crystals.

However, although those ordinary household items were Legendary, they didn't offer much practical help to Survivors, so their prices were relatively low.

In a few days, Bai Cheng and the others had only accumulated nearly a thousand magic crystals.

Silent Night descended, and the waves on the sea began to surge again, as Bai Cheng stretched lazily, full of fatigue.

"cheng book's cooldown time is up," she said, picking up the accumulated ordinary employee cards again. After everyone in the channel learned that Bai Cheng could upgrade employee cards, these white cards were basically given to Bai Cheng for free.

After continuous synthesis, a purple light flashed.

"It's really most cost-effective to sell purple cards," Yu Nian, exhausted, wiped sweat from her forehead.

Compared to Bai Cheng's almost burden-free upgrades, Yu Nian's replication truly consumed energy and physical strength.

Bai Cheng also nodded in agreement, "Yes, but unfortunately, if it's not upgraded to the top tier, there's a cooldown, so the fastest we can produce a purple card is one every two days."

After saying that, she handed it to Leng Ningxue, "Take it and sell it. Then everyone can rest and eat first."

The other party took the purple card and said, "Bai Cheng, many people have privately messaged me about you publicly selling one purple card every two days."

"What?" Bai Cheng asked, puzzled.

"They don't think the price is expensive; in fact, for Survivors in some regions, it's quite cheap," Leng Ningxue explained. "But the reality is that there are too many Survivors in the channel, and most people can't get one."

"So?"

"So some Survivors have privately messaged me, hoping to pay a high price to pre-order one. If we calculate at the rate of one card every two days, the queue is already stretched out for over a year."

"Huh?" Bai Cheng was stunned. "It's actually that popular?"

But unfortunately, the purple card's authority was beyond the scope of Yu Nian's replication ability, and Legendary Employee cards were bound, which meant they couldn't mass-produce purple cards at all.

"What's the price?" Yu Nian was clearly more concerned about the price.

Leng Ningxue calmly held up three fingers: "Three hundred. This price is already beyond the limit for many Survivors."

And some people didn't just want one purple card; they wanted more.

"This..."

"Sell it!" Bai Cheng immediately said, "Why wouldn't we sell it for three times the price!"

What they lacked most now were magic crystals. Compared to killing enemies, gathering resources within their own channel to become stronger was clearly more efficient and convenient.

"If only we could mass-produce them, but we can't, so let them queue up."

After dinner, the group didn't rush to work but started packing their luggage, preparing for the upcoming entry into the Station.

Time unknowingly reached midnight. The train had not yet entered the Station, but the three of them saw the activity prompt pop up first.

"Third Week Activity Activated!"

"It's time for the channel's leaders to establish their own strongholds!"
