119 Chapter - The Inevitable Promotion
Tang Yan had always overlooked one thing.
That was, the distance between all Survivors who crossed terrain to reach a special Station was fixed.
But this rule itself had no connection to him, so it wasn't within the scope of the prophecy.
Of course, his talent also had many limitations and couldn't be used multiple times.
More than four hours later, Yu Nian, driving the powered railcar, was finally about to arrive at the Advancement Platform.
Unlike last time, the number of other Pioneers who had already arrived at the Station was very small, even though they were closer to it.
At this moment, three men and two women among them, upon seeing a muscular man who had also arrived, immediately frowned and threatened him.
“Niu Dali, everyone knows that this Advancement Platform was opened by you, but I warn you, it’s best not to enter the Station now.”
Another person echoed, “Wait for more people; we can all win together, and your spot won’t be taken.”
Although the few people didn't say it explicitly, everyone with discerning eyes could tell they were Tang Yan's people.
Niu Dali’s contact with Bai Cheng was private, so those present didn't know he had already received help, and for a moment, they all remained silent.
Everyone seemed to be waiting to see Niu Dali's reaction.
At this point, the girl among them also sneered, “Niu Dali is just one person; even if he goes in, he won’t be able to defeat the boss.”
That's right, Niu Dali had no teammates, and entering alone would be tantamount to seeking death.
But then, the triangular curtain on one side of the Station suddenly caught fire.
Blinding lights rushed into the entire interior of the Station, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
They originally thought it was just other Survivors passing by and didn't intend to pay attention after a quick glance.
But their vision passed through the strong light emitted by the front of the car, and what they saw was not a train, but a…
“What the hell is that?!” someone exclaimed.
“How does that look like a car?” someone else wondered, “Why is her train like that? Is it modified?”
The appearance of the powered railcar was displayed to others in the Station for the first time.
Once the vehicle stopped, the comparison between it and the adjacent train became even more apparent.
It was not only shorter than a single carriage but even its height was less than a carriage.
How much could such a small train hold?
Everyone cast curious glances, but only the three men and two women under Tang Yan's command saw the figures inside through the powered railcar's front windshield.
The few people's pupils immediately constricted; after exchanging a glance, they said nothing and immediately, with unspoken understanding, ran towards their respective trains.
Then, before Yu Nian could even get out of the car, they started their trains and began to flee.
The car door opened, Yu Nian looked at the train on the side that had already started and was slowly pulling away, but she didn't pay it any mind.
Instead, her gaze swept over the shocked faces of everyone present, and she spoke.
“Niu Dali, who is that?”
The eyes of the surrounding crowd shifted, and they immediately looked incredulously at the muscular man in the back.
“That’s me,” he immediately replied.
Yu Nian ignored those gazes and walked directly towards him with Qingniao.
As for Lü Duo, she remained in the car.
“After killing the boss at the Advancement Platform, there will be no other rewards besides gaining a spot, not even an employee card.”
Yu Nian began to explain as soon as she reached the other party.
“I know that…” Niu Dali nodded.
“Then it’s simple,” Yu Nian interrupted him directly, “Add me as a friend, and I’ll give you a spot directly, then you can leave the Station.”
These words not only stunned Niu Dali but also all the other Survivors who had gathered around.
Giving away a spot… What kind of operation was this?
But then Niu Dali nodded, anyway, for him, as long as there was a reward, the process didn't matter, especially since it was free.
Subsequently, the two became friends, and it wasn't until Niu Dali received the spot and activated the Station that he turned around and drove his train away from the Station.
He was very perceptive and naturally saw that Bai Cheng and the other person were helping him for some purpose and had no intention of forming a relationship with him.
In reality, Niu Dali's role was merely to provide the coordinates of the Advancement Platform for the powered railcar, nothing more.
And Yu Nian was also following Bai Cheng's bad idea.
Instead of bringing Niu Dali into the Station to gain more spots, thereby increasing Tang Yan's chances of acquiring spots through transfer, it was better to simply prevent him from entering.
As for the other Survivors, there was even less to say.
Yu Nian coldly swept her gaze over everyone; though she didn't speak, her warning was clear.
Then, she took Qingniao and entered the Advancement Platform without looking back.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Cheng had not been idle during Yu Nian's absence.
After obtaining the silver ingot, all tools were upgraded, and Bai Cheng upgraded them one by one.
After the bronze chest was upgraded to a silver chest, besides the change in external decoration, the increase in space was no longer a 2x increase as before.
A bronze chest with 10 slots and a twenty-unit limit directly increased to 10 slots and a one-hundred-unit limit after the upgrade.
The storage space directly increased fivefold!
“Now I don’t have to worry about filling up an entire carriage anymore!”
The increase in storage space was naturally a good thing for Bai Cheng, meaning she could hoard more supplies.
Of course, not just chests, almost all other silver tools were greatly improved.
But because Bai Cheng had already owned a silver pickaxe and axe, she wasn't too surprised.
As for the buildings unlocked in the Silver Age, besides the furniture, only one could be considered useful to Bai Cheng.
“Exorcism Cross?” Bai Cheng curiously clicked on the information to view it.
“Name: Exorcism Cross”
“Description: Installing an Exorcism Cross in the carriage will effectively resist the invasion of spirit-type monsters, including some harmful gases like poison gas, from entering the carriage.”
“Construction Requirements: Silver Ingot * 100, unlimited coins * 55, Magic Crystal * 1”
“Rating: A new type of air purifier?”
Looking at the information, Bai Cheng built it without much thought.
Anyway, she wasn't short on supplies now.
Although the Exorcism Cross required a lot of materials to build, the actual item was only palm-sized.
After Bai Cheng clicked install, it was embedded at the junction of the train's front windshield and the ceiling.
A white pattern suddenly spread throughout the entire train, then after a flash of silver-white light, the pattern also disappeared.
Whether it was Bai Cheng’s illusion or not, she felt the air inside the car suddenly improve in an instant.
And now Bai Cheng was no longer short of flame spirit cores; all the equipment that hadn't been built before was also constructed by her.
The Enchanting Table was a hexagonal black bedside table, which she placed in the corner.
The improved detection technology didn't change the original detection table at all.
After doing all this, Bai Cheng continued to use her talent to upgrade items.
Meanwhile, inside the Advancement Platform, the Station boss had already been instantly killed by Qingniao.
Yu Nian also successfully broke through to Elite-grade because of this.
A moment later, after composing herself, she returned to the platform with Qingniao.
Only, no one noticed a crystalline shimmer at the tip of her index finger.
Yu Nian was very dissatisfied: Why couldn't I break through when Xiao Cheng was by my side!
She ignored the Survivors who continued to stay there and silently got into the powered railcar.
And those Survivors, upon seeing the thirty-minute mandatory departure countdown, only then came to their senses and prepared to leave in disappointment.
The powered railcar departed from the Station at an extremely fast speed, just as a train with seven carriages had arrived at the location.
The young man at the front of the train curved his lips: “This advancement, I, Tang Yan, am determined to win!”
