Good thing I reacted fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng couldn’t help but grumble in frustration. \"But not having toilet paper is seriously the worst.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled up her skirt with some embarrassment. After confirming that the coast was clear, she walked over to pick up the green treasure chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process went smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because this was a chest from the Silent Night, the beast guarding it had vanished with the dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she was back on the rail cart, Bai Cheng eagerly opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clasping her hands together, she muttered a prayer: \"Water filter, water filter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Opened Uncommon Treasure Chest: Obtained Wooden Hunting Bow (Blueprint) ×1, Beast-Repelling Powder ×1, Beast-Attracting Powder ×1, Scrap Iron ×2, Salt ×1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it?\" Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it wasn’t bad. At least it was much better than a common chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... why is there no water filter yet?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out the brandless 500g bag of salt. \"This is probably the only decent thing here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, every living being needs to consume salt. It’s a crucial strategic resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half a kilo... that’ll last a while. Next time I roast meat, it’ll taste amazing with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her stomach growled loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at her inventory. She was out of food. Last night, Tang Yan had traded away all her hyena meat for water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Bai Cheng had planned to trade half for water and half for compressed biscuits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn protagonist bastard! How did he even get a water filter?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the only explanation she could think of for why he had so much water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Cheng wasn’t worried. Right now, water is more valuable than food. She could easily trade for even more supplies than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she wasn’t in a hurry. For now, she only ate two chocolate bars to stave off the hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beast-repelling powder and beast-attracting powder?\" She picked up the two small packets of powder that looked like a drying agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The names alone made their purpose obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Beast-Repelling Powder: Upon usage, no creatures will approach within a 10-meter radius for 5 minutes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Beast-Attracting Powder: Upon usage, it will lure all nearby unknown wild beasts for 2 minutes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, these ain’t bad. One can drive beasts away to secure treasure chests, while the other can gather them for food and employee cards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng was already scheming how to maximize their effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the wooden hunting bow blueprint, she checked its crafting requirements first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Wooden Hunting Bow (Blueprint)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Materials Required: Fine Wood ×4, Leather ×2, Deer Tendon\u002FCow Tendon ×1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: A simple wooden bow that can be used for hunting.

Strengthening myself isn’t that important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She set the blueprint aside and turned to look at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she notice the unread private message waiting for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s this?\" Curious, she tapped it only to be greeted by a familiar, handsome profile picture, with the name Tang Yan beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face darkened instantly. \"What the hell does this old man protagonist want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had zero goodwill toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yan: \"What do you need? Food or water? I need wood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng froze. She hadn’t expected him to initiate a trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message had been sent over three hours ago, at around dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Karma, ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng: \"Employee card.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yan: \"You still want employee cards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yan: \"Fine. I’ll give you a discount this time. How about 180?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng laughed and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng: \"50. Take it or leave it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yan: \"Are you kidding me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like he had done before, Bai Cheng left him on read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Tang Yan was baffled by her demand for another employee card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given their unpleasant history, they weren’t on friendly enough terms for small talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yan: \"Deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the chat, Bai Cheng grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Serves you right, you old man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering 50 pieces of wood wouldn’t take long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of rushing to chop trees, Bai Cheng browsed the trade listings, only to be disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else was selling employee cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a woman named Lin Qiuyue was flooding the market with water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick glance showed at least ten trade offers from her, exchanging water for other supplies, but at outrageous prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Trader: Lin Qiuyue]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Item: 500ml Freshwater]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Request: Carnivorous Animal Employee Card, Empty Bottle ×1 \u002F Compressed Biscuit ×6, Empty Bottle ×1...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost every listing was accompanied by an empty plastic bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another profiteer. Damn it.\" Bai Cheng clicked into the public channel and found that everyone was cursing Lin Qiuyue as a scammer, while she continued to shamelessly promote herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, I’ve found a water source. I won’t stay here for long—it’s first come, first served!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn profiteer! Why don’t you just rob us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, how do we know that the water is even safe? Everyone, don’t trust her! Stagnant water is toxic. You could die drinking it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why won’t you reply to my DMs? Isn’t my signed overalls worth a bottle of water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone was cursing Lin Qiuyue, their actions spoke louder than words. They were buying her water at lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng ignored the channel and listed her wooden hunting bow blueprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her demand, it’s an employee card, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else interested her. Besides, this world was nothing like the novels and games she knew. Resources were limited, and hoarding was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only remotely humane feature was the ability to submit the train upgrade materials in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing her iron axe, Bai Cheng cheerfully hopped off the rail cart to chop wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another busy day ahead~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she swung the axe at a thin tree, it left a massive gash, and the trunk was already wobbling dangerously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng paused, then delivered two more strikes, snapping the trunk in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Durability -1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was stunned. \"Three swings for one tree?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the durability also decreased!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t chopping trees during the day speed up the axe’s upgrade progress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng immediately went wild.
