117 Chapter - Different Pioneer Missions

Hearing this, the man was clearly stunned.

“You… you said you’re also a Survivor?!”

His face was full of disbelief, but no matter how much he searched his memories, he had no impression of the white-haired girl in front of him.

Bai Cheng frowned slightly: “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?”

She truly hadn’t expected the other party to be a Survivor.

Dressed in rags, with teammates killing each other over insufficient food—how could this look like a Survivor?

More importantly, with Bai Cheng’s striking white hair and her fame in the channel, this Pioneer, who had also reached Lava Volcano, didn’t recognize her?

“My name is Bai Cheng,” she voluntarily stated her name.

But seeing the man’s still bewildered state, he clearly hadn’t even heard of that name.

“Sister, you’re not trying to trick me, are you?” he asked in a low voice.

Bai Cheng was speechless: “Why would I trick you?!”

At this moment, while the two were talking, [N O V E L I G H T] Chiyan had already instantly killed all the surrounding Flame Spiritss and returned to Bai Cheng’s side, dragging the man.

He was completely stunned. One moment he was fantasizing about becoming a powerful figure, the next he was harshly slapped in the face.

He was somewhat dazed: “How is this possible, how is this possible… I had nearly ten Elite-grade Flame Spiritss!”

Bai Cheng ignored the guy, stepped on his wrist, and snatched the flame spirit crown, which glowed with fiery light, from his hand.

She picked it up and looked at it curiously, finding nothing special about it, as if she were holding an ordinary item.

Plus, there was no screen here, so she couldn’t check its information.

Bai Cheng kicked the man at her feet again: “Hey, do you recognize me?”

“Who are you? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!” the other party roared, trying to struggle, but was once again stepped on by Bai Cheng.

Now she was even more confused. Judging by their reactions, neither of them recognized her.

Then there was only one possibility left.

Bai Cheng’s expression darkened; they were deceiving her.

Just as she was about to ask, the man beside her suddenly became agitated.

“Where are Lingling and Xiao Chen?!” He grabbed the other person’s collar and shook him hard, “What did you do to them?!”

“Killed them, of course.” The man curled his lips, a mocking smile on his face, “It’s all because you, Captain, ran away.”

“I just wanted to use this place to grind monsters and get stronger. What does it matter if I become an Infinite Marauder? You stubborn old-fashioned people all deserve to die!”

Hearing this, the man was about to strike a punch, but Chiyan stopped him.

He looked up with confusion, and Bai Cheng’s question also came from beside him.

“I’m not interested in your grievances, but you mentioned Infinite Marauder. Do you have a way to become an Infinite Marauder?”

“If you promise to let me go, I’ll tell you,” the other party began to bargain.

The man beside her quickly shouted: “No way!”

Bai Cheng ignored him and moved her foot from the other person’s back.

He stood up, gave his captain a provocative look, and then began to explain to Bai Cheng.

“The currently known method to become an Infinite Marauder is to find a way to deceive the system’s detection. In short, it’s to be accepted by other monster races.”

“But whether there’s a simpler way, I don’t know. Maybe it’s enduring monster attacks, maybe it’s violating system tasks, who knows.”

He shrugged, then began to persuade Bai Cheng again.

“Infinite Marauder is simply a derogatory term given by the system to create opposition. We should call them Free Ones, living freely in this world, unbound by the system, that’s what everyone truly seeks!”

As he spoke, his gaze turned fervent towards the flame spirit crown in Bai Cheng’s hand.

“And with it, this can be done easily!”

“How about it, do you want to become a Free One with me, or will you return this thing to me?”

After hearing the other party’s words, Bai Cheng was almost certain that they were Survivors.

But they didn’t recognize her. She looked at the man beside her and asked.

“Which channel are you from?”

The man was startled, thought for a moment, and then replied: “Channel 03.”

As expected, Bai Cheng’s eyes narrowed.

She remembered that her channel’s number after merging was 02, and it just happened to be adjacent to the other party’s channel number.

But this made Bai Cheng even more surprised. How could she encounter Survivors from other channels in Lava Volcano?

She gave Chiyan a look, and the latter knocked the man unconscious with a single hand chop.

Bai Cheng looked at the man beside her: “Your enemy, I’ll leave him to you.”

The man was surprised by this, and at the same time realized that the girl in front of him intended to let him go.

He immediately bowed respectfully: “Thank you, Sister, you are truly a good person!”

After his initial joy, he pondered Bai Cheng’s previous question and quickly understood.

“Sister, you’re a Survivor from another channel!”

Seeing the other party’s surprised expression, Bai Cheng knew he wouldn’t understand what was going on.

Next, the two briefly exchanged information, getting acquainted with the situations and activities within each other’s channels.

To Bai Cheng’s surprise, the activities in different channels not only varied in progress but some even had different content.

For example, the other party’s Pioneer Trial Two had also started, but the task was to rush to an unknown city and defend it.

Bai Cheng suddenly realized. No wonder she met Survivors from other channels here.

Their mission was to clear out the Infinite Marauders in the area, and the largest gathering place for these guys was also a city.

The connection between the two Pioneer tasks was already obvious.

Clearly, the relationship between the Pioneers in the two channels was about to become adversarial.

What was the system’s purpose in doing this? Simply to make the Pioneers in the two channels fight each other?

“Things are starting to get interesting,” Bai Cheng clapped her hands and then stood up.

She looked at the other party: “Alright, you can go now.”

The man looked down: “Can we add friends across channels?”

Bai Cheng wasn’t sure: “Probably not.”

“Thank you for helping me get revenge today, otherwise I would truly be left to wander.”

His genuine emotion didn’t seem fake, and he continued: “I am a grateful person. This time, for the Pioneer Trial, I will definitely find a way to make your channel win!”

Bai Cheng’s mouth twitched.

Good heavens, had she just created an internal spy for a channel?

However, with her strength, she didn’t need one at all.

Bai Cheng waved her hand casually: “Alright, I’m going to start collecting supplies.”

Seeing Bai Cheng dismiss him, the man didn’t intend to continue chatting. He dragged his enemy and began to walk towards another cave.

Before leaving the underground plaza, he looked back again.

“Sister Bai Cheng, I’ll remember you. My name is Wang Shuai, the ‘Shuai’ from handsome and imposing!”

He remembered to introduce himself before leaving.

Bai Cheng rolled her eyes speechlessly.

He wasn’t handsome at all, alright!

Soon, Bai Cheng and Chiyan returned with the supplies.

But upon reaching the exit, they found that the Ashen Rain had stopped at some point.

A large number of monsters attacked from the cave entrance, and the three employees were already engaged in battle.
