I can bottom for you. How about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of politeness and fear of further pestering, Bai Cheng immediately rejected her with righteous indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng: \"Sorry, I’m not into girls, and I’m not planning on going in that direction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"That’s a shame. But we can still team up and help each other. As a gesture of goodwill, I’ll give you an employee card first. Deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was phrased as a negotiation, the other party had already sent the item via mail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng wanted to refuse outright, but curiosity got the better of her. She opened the mail to inspect the employee card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image on the front of the white card was... a rhinoceros!??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, the water-selling female lead, can kill a rhino? Does that make sense?!\" Bai Cheng froze for a second before realizing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, this must be that Tang Yan’s card...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the survivors, Lin Qiuyue was one of the lucky ones. She had leveraged that luck well, catching the protagonist’s attention and earning his recruitment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she was using this rhino employee card to recruit her, meaning that Lin Qiuyue had secured a better option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, what, is This Lady... munch munch munch Your damn trash can?!\" Bai Cheng tore off a bite of grilled wolf meat, scowling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t just dump whatever you don’t want on me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she felt zero appreciation for her skills. They were all praising her looks...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, I’m pissed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She jabbed a finger at the screen, decisively hitting [Decline].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng: \"I already have an employee. Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll reach out if I want to collaborate!\" (smile)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: (ok)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng: \"Uh, you won’t stop trading with me just because I turned you down, right?\" (pitiful)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"Of course not. Good girl.\" (head pat)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, disgusting!\" Bai Cheng fired off a quick emoji in reply before closing the chat interface, unable to stomach the thought of the other party’s round face3 staring creepily at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing the last of her meat and gulping down half a bottle of water, she stood up. \"Chopping wood and gathering supplies is what matters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axe in hand, she prepared to disembark, only to see the same black, gooey mass blocking the path ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow. \"Is this thing going to block me every few meters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The obstacle itself wasn’t the issue. The problem was that burning it took at least half an hour, a massive waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, nighttime travel would be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess daylight’s the only option.\" She ignited the slime, then focused on chopping wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thirty-minute burn time was more than enough to clear every tree within the railcar’s safe zone. After all, there weren’t many within two meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even had a few spare minutes to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Book of Cheng wouldn’t allow such idleness. But with the railcar stuck behind the slime, she was seemingly trapped in a loop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to relax, the familiar voice in her head chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welp, no exploiting bugs for me.\" Sighing, she grabbed her stone spear and patrolled around the train, hoping to bag a few wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the creatures were cunning. As long as she stayed within the safe zone, they lurked deep in the forest, refusing to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning empty-handed didn’t faze her. She treated it as a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeating this cycle for two hours, Bai Cheng finally hit her goal of 250 pieces of wood and 25 pieces of coal from burning five patches of black slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally done.\" She exhaled in relief. \"Hope that girl’s still awake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of listing an order, she messaged Lin Qiuyue directly, who replied instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"All set? Good job!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Bai Cheng’s lips twitched, but she forced a polite response. \"Yeah. It’s late, so I thought you’d be asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"I’m a night owl. Plus, who can sleep in this environment? Besides, I promised you, didn’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Bai Cheng could initiate the trade, the other party sent the offer first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She accepted immediately, and finally secured enough leather for the upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue followed up with more messages, seemingly keen to continue chatting, but Bai Cheng ignored them for now. She refined all her leather into refined leather and submitted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Train Advancement Requirements: 50\u002F50 refined leather, 100\u002F100 fine wood, 0\u002F200 iron ingots, 0\u002F1 steam engine.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it’s just iron ingots and the steam engine. The steam engine probably requires reaching Station One, but what about the iron...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng yawned, staring at the screen. \"Gotta hurry. Time’s running out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to stockpile resources before reaching Station One, but the clock wasn’t on her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about upgrading the employee card?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze fell on the beast-attracting powder in her storage. \"Should I use it tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another message from Lin Qiuyue popped up. This time, the notification expanded midair since Bai Cheng had closed the train menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"Need thatch? Lots of people in the channel don’t know how to get it. It’s for making beds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"You can trade me anything except water for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"Oh, and Tang Yan. You know him, right? He said you traded a bunch of employee cards from him. Do you need more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng froze. So they really are connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was too preoccupied to entertain small talk and politely declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng: \"I don’t need beds. They take up space and add weight...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"True. Girls like us aren’t that strong anyway. And thatch only grows near beast nests. Air-drying it wastes time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"What about employee cards? I have four extras. Do you want them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Lin Qiuyue already had an employee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng’s eyebrow twitched. \"You know I’m collecting them, of course I want them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, what could a water tycoon like Lin possibly need? What did she even have to offer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue had just replenished her wood supply, and she had traded leather for it, meaning that she had already secured those resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her progress was likely on par with Bai Cheng’s—no, she was probably even further ahead, closer to Station One than her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Bai Cheng had wasted most of her time chopping trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite craving the cards, Bai Cheng had nothing left to trade. Reluctantly, she declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng: \"Sorry, I don’t have anything left to trade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qiuyue: \"Oh, surely you can’t lack everything. How about trading scrap iron for the cards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng was stunned. Was Lin Qiuyue... giving her advice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t have scrap iron, but she could trade wood for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, she opened the exchange to check the conversion rates, only to see Tang Yan’s bulk order, offering food in exchange for scrap iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng’s pupils shrank, and she immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-05-30T12:49:13.744Z","2026-06-01T04:31:15.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d3328d85041d5305707f6d67593ad68d3091948ee762b77a66bedec2ca7fe2f","infinite-train-survival-apocalypse-but-i-m-a-gir-chapter-20","infinite-train-survival-apocalypse-but-i-m-a-gir-chapter-18",80,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finfinite-train-survival-apocalypse-but-i-m-a-gir-cover.jpg"]
