139 Chapter - Led By Bai Cheng!
“It’s a pity there’s no Station in Infinite City, otherwise we could merge our trains,” Yu Nian grumbled, pouting slightly as she lay on Chi Yan’s back.
Bai Cheng, however, said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. We should be close to the next Station. This time, we need to hurry.”
As for continuing to stay here and rely on the Ashen Rain to grind for experience, she decided to give up after a moment of thought.
Firstly, the strength of the monsters would have an upper limit and would never exceed Elite-grade.
Moreover, after learning about the other channels from Tang Yan, she guessed that the “thing” they needed to compete for was likely at one of the Stations ahead.
Whoever arrived first would gain the initiative.
The three sat on Chi Yan’s broad back, enjoying the hot wind as the surrounding scenery rapidly receded.
Unbeknownst to them, the sky gradually changed from pitch black to dim, and finally turned completely white.
Day broke, the Ashen Rain fell, and Bai Cheng and the others returned to Core Station 8.
“Miss, those two guys didn’t die,” Zi Yuan immediately reported, explaining how Xiao Ran and Chen Xiao had paid a price to leave earlier.
Bai Cheng was not too surprised by the news.
“Tang Yan was right,” Yu Nian tilted her head to look at the ruins. “I just didn’t expect them to pay such a heavy price.”
Evidently, Chen Xiao’s talent must have been to evade a fatal injury by paying some kind of price.
And this talent could also be used for others.
Bai Cheng withdrew her gaze. “Don’t mind them, let’s get ready to go.”
But as soon as she boarded the train, the messages popping up on the screen had already reached 99+, and the countdown for the accumulated loot had begun due to the end of the trial.
If Bai Cheng didn’t deal with them, they would disappear in half an hour.
Her mouth twitched. “This is also a troublesome matter.”
This time, whether it was the Infinite Marauders or the Pioneers they killed, the number of people in each group was considerable, so much so that Bai Cheng had no idea how many people she had killed that night.
Each person corresponded to a loot settlement, and these materials combined had long exceeded the train’s maximum storage limit.
Although most of the items were useless, she couldn’t just discard them, could she?
It was just a waste of some time; Bai Cheng had already decided to list all of them on the exchange.
“Our train upgrade now requires ancient gold ingots, and these people’s supplies don’t even have much silver ore,” Yu Nian also pouted. “Xiao Cheng, do we still need these things?”
“Keep some,” Bai Cheng mused.
Upon hearing this, Yu Nian also turned to the last carriage. With both of them processing the loot on two screens simultaneously, their speed would be considerably faster.
At this moment, Chi Yan’s ear twitched, as if he heard something, and he spoke, “Miss, more trains are approaching.”
“And not just one.”
Bai Cheng’s movements instantly stopped, and she looked back at the rear of the train through the window.
Sure enough, soon after, several trains began to slow down and gradually approached the Core Station.
“They’re probably late Pioneers, no need to mind them,” Bai Cheng didn’t care.
But despite saying so, Chi Yan still voluntarily stood outside the train door, adopting a vigilant stance.
Bai Cheng had also noticed the current number of remaining Pioneers in the channel. Originally, there were fifty people before the trial began, but now there were fewer than twenty.
More than half of the Pioneers had been killed by her for colluding with Tang Yan.
However, for the tens of thousands of Survivors in the entire channel, a few deaths would not affect them in any way.
Bai Cheng quickly listed all the excess junk on the exchange, selling it for unlimited coins at a low price, as she had too much of this garbage and just wanted to get rid of it quickly.
As for minerals, while not a fire sale, the prices were relatively cheap, just to speed up transactions.
The only items sold at their original price were fuels.
The fuel stockpiled on dozens of trains was now so abundant that it could bury her own train.
Despite being strategic materials, Bai Cheng still had to sell a considerable portion.
And since it was morning, such approachable prices meant there was no need to worry about not selling them.
“Is this Boss Bai Cheng’s train? It’s already electrified!”
“Do you think the boss is on the train?”
“The trial is over, so she should be on the train, look, the boss’s employee is still there.”
“Will we be rude like this?”
Several Pioneers chatted among themselves, approaching Bai Cheng’s train.
Chi Yan frowned and immediately took a step forward.
He didn’t act because he didn’t sense any killing intent from these Pioneers in front of him; in fact… they seemed incredibly respectful?
“What are you here for?” a hoarse voice questioned them.
The Pioneers were startled, but one of them reacted quickly and was the first to explain, “Big brother, I saw Boss Bai Cheng selling things on the exchange. We happen to need some, and this also saves ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) us the trouble of online transactions.”
Then, he changed the subject. “Also, my brothers and I have admired Boss Bai Cheng for a long time. Isn’t this a rare opportunity? We want to meet our idol…”
He rubbed his hands, smiling obsequiously.
“What do you want?”
Since she was free while waiting for transactions, Bai Cheng jumped off the train and greeted them proactively.
The Pioneers were stunned. Of course, this was their first time seeing Bai Cheng.
However, rather than being amazed by her appearance, they were more impressed by Bai Cheng’s strength.
“Boss, we need coal, minerals…”
“Alright, at the exchange price. Plus, I can give you some equipment.”
What she called equipment were actually what Bai Cheng considered junk—types of buildings that she already had in abundance and were no longer useful to her.
For example, elemental collectors, enchanting tables, detection Stations, some furniture, and so on.
“Thank you, Boss!”
“Um… can we add you as a friend?”
Bai Cheng generously replied, “Of course.”
Soon, several people returned fully loaded, but they didn’t leave; instead, they began sending messages on the channel.
Although the trial was over, as long as they didn’t change the detection Station’s target, these Pioneers who hadn’t arrived yet would still head towards Core Station 8.
Excluding those Tang Yan had rallied, most Pioneers actually had normal mindsets.
They admired Bai Cheng, eager to cling to her, rather than naively believing they could replace her.
Then, more and more Pioneers began to arrive at Core Station 8.
They were as excited as fans meeting their idol, all proactively coming to buy Bai Cheng’s surplus supplies.
At this point, Bai Cheng also understood that after Tang Yan’s death, Channel 2 would become her personal domain.
They spontaneously rallied around Bai Cheng, willingly accepting her leadership, even promising to help each other and reach the final Station together.
It was a good thing for the Pioneers to unite, especially since Bai Cheng now knew they also faced threats from other channels.
“Xiao Cheng, you’re famous now!”
