108 Chapter - Refusing To Get In The Car?
Soon, the vast Station was empty, with only three trains remaining.
At this moment, several people slowly returned from the mechanical door.
As for Leng Ningxue, she was equally astonished by Zi Yuan's terrifying strength.
The few of them even stood in place throughout, watching the show without lifting a finger.
Although Leng Ningxue had seen Zi Yuan and Zi Yuan in action, it was clear that neither of them had been using their full power.
Even more shocked was the male standing beside her; his eyes were filled with admiration, and a flicker of excitement shone within them.
"Thank you, Miss Bai Cheng!"
"And the Legend employee is too strong! You're my idol from now on!"
Bai Cheng stood outside the train door and waved her hand, "You're welcome, it was just a small matter."
The male did not continue to press the issue, understanding that the next conversation would be between Bai Cheng and her friends. He immediately and tactfully started his train and left the Station.
"Thanks, Bai Cheng. I had already guessed that Tang Yan would try to stop me from starting the Station mission, but I didn't expect him to gather so many people."
Leng Ningxue also explained, revealing the reason for the breakdown of her soft cooperative relationship with Tang Yan.
It turned out that he had already been recruiting Pioneers and talented Survivors to form a large team.
However, this team was not for survival, but had some special purpose.
He did not reveal too much, but it was certainly related to his ability of prophecy.
And during their negotiation, Tang Yan also formally admitted to Leng Ningxue that his ability was precognition, not rebirth as she had previously guessed.
At the same time, he extended a final invitation to Leng Ningxue, but the outcome was predictable.
"He said at the time that if I didn't follow his footsteps, I would become an enemy of the entire world in the future," Leng Ningxue repeated the sentence, frowning.
But these cryptic words offered no clues.
"Putting on an act," Bai Cheng mused, rubbing her chin, "That's just like him."
Yu Nian, who was beside her, pouted upon hearing this. "What? I think he's just showing off."
"Hmm," Leng Ningxue nodded noncommittally. "But I also found something strange."
"What?"
"I always feel like someone is following me," she suddenly said something baffling, then continued to add.
"He seems to be sent by Tang Yan, a Survivor with a special talent, but the key is that I can't find him."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng was also startled, instantly recalling the strange figure she had encountered twice before.
"Come to think of it... it's true!" Her gaze sharpened, and she then recounted the entire incident.
Leng Ningxue also raised an eyebrow, "But how could he run faster than Tang Yan alone?"
Bai Cheng shook her head; she didn't know the answer to that.
However, although the Pioneers in the channel deliberately isolated them under Tang Yan's instructions, Leng Ningxue still sensed something unusual.
Coupled with the words the Survivors shouted earlier about receiving {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} a mission from Tang Yan, it further solidified her suspicions.
"Recently, more and more Pioneers and Survivors have been forming teams. They will probably target you in the next mission."
Due to the breakdown of their cooperative relationship, Leng Ningxue was now unable to gather information and could only make blind guesses.
"You must be careful during this Pioneer Trial mission," she urged.
Bai Cheng nodded, lost in thought.
Yu Nian, who was beside her, suddenly looked enlightened. "These guys all know that Xiao Cheng has a Legend employee now. They must be planning to team up and snatch her in the Pioneer mission!"
Both of them looked over at her simultaneously.
"Why are you looking at me?" she asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing."
"You're right."
Their gazes were strange; wasn't this the only possibility?
At best, they would target them; at worst, they would attack.
But this group of people clearly didn't understand Bai Cheng's true strength; she merely saw them as clowns.
Tang Yan himself was having trouble promoting to Elite-grade, so a group of common-grade individuals daring to besiege a general-grade one was quite interesting.
Conversely, Bai Cheng looked at Leng Ningxue with some concern. "The news of you and me knowing each other will spread soon. I'm not afraid of them, but you..."
Leng Ningxue was about to speak when Yu Nian quickly interjected.
"That's easy! Why don't Ningxue just get on our train? Train merging!"
Neither of them had mentioned this, but Yu Nian had said it first.
Bai Cheng frowned; it was indeed a good idea.
Adding that Leng Ningxue still had no teammates, she took the opportunity to say, "Yes, why don't you get on our train, Ningxue?"
After all, once the news of their acquaintance was known to all Survivors in the channel, Tang Yan, who intentionally targeted Bai Cheng, would certainly intensify his efforts to target Leng Ningxue.
The former was fearless about this, but for the latter, she had not created a significant gap with others. Once targeted by all Survivors, her situation would certainly become incredibly difficult.
But Bai Cheng and Yu Nian didn't expect Leng Ningxue to hesitate. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke.
"Bai Cheng, do you remember when I told you that combat talent users would have a very troublesome side effect?"
Bai Cheng was slightly startled, recalling, "Is it because of that?"
"What side effect?" Yu Nian also asked curiously, "What does that have to do with getting on the train?"
Leng Ningxue shook her head, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, "In short, it's partly due to that. It's a very embarrassing side effect..."
Bai Cheng probably guessed that this side effect might be very embarrassing for her.
"That's easy!" Yu Nian immediately thought of a solution. "After merging, that carriage can be used specifically as your private space, won't that work?"
Bai Cheng rolled her eyes at her; it wasn't that she minded wasting carriage space.
Rather, based on her understanding of Yu Nian, she immediately realized that this was Yu Nian testing Leng Ningxue about getting on the train.
If she dared to get on the train, she could naturally be trusted. But if she refused now with such an excuse, it clearly meant she had something to hide.
It was unclear whether Leng Ningxue understood the implication of Yu Nian's words, but after a moment of hesitation, she still shook her head.
"No, at least not yet."
"Why?" Yu Nian immediately asked.
Bai Cheng also quietly waited for her explanation.
Leng Ningxue continued, "Because I have a combat talent, I haven't recruited a third employee, precisely so I can get a higher-level employee. That way, even if they only get one level up after getting on the train, it will be more helpful to everyone, won't it?"
"If I get on the train now, even if that blue basic employee levels up to purple, it would still..."
So Leng Ningxue wanted to obtain an Epic employee card, so that even if she had to rely on others later, she wouldn't seem too useless.
Bai Cheng could also see her strong-willed personality.
Yu Nian, hearing this, spoke again, "Just a purple card? We have one right now!"
It seemed she wouldn't give up until she got Leng Ningxue on the train today.
However, Leng Ningxue's next sentence made Bai Cheng change her mind first.
"More importantly, there's the Pioneer Trial reward. If I get on the train now, wouldn't the two rewards become one?"
Indeed, the Pioneer Trial reward would only be given to Pioneers.
And Pioneers like Yu Nian, who had already undergone train merging, were no longer technically considered Pioneers and would not receive any rewards.
Rather than saying the rewards were based on the number of people, it was more accurate to say they were based on the trains.
That was the Heart of Immortality, something that could directly promote a Legend employee to an Immortal level!
"Two rewards becoming one is indeed too much of a loss," Bai Cheng also nodded.
"Eh?" Yu Nian immediately tilted her head and looked over.
"I'll get on the train after the Pioneer Trial ends," Leng Ningxue provided clear information.
At this moment, only a few minutes remained until they were forced to leave the promotion Station. Bai Cheng gave her final instructions.
"You must be careful during the trial, and stay safe."
"Okay," Leng Ningxue nodded, "You too, Bai Cheng."
After a light hug and their final goodbyes, they each returned to their respective trains to prepare to leave the Station.
The triangular curtain burned, and the two trains went their separate ways.
And after returning to the Lava Volcano, Bai Cheng drove straight towards the special Station for forging Destiny Instruments.
