158 Chapter - Disgusting Rainforest
Splash!
Before the train could even come to a complete stop, large raindrops began to fall from the sky, quickly shrouding the entire world in a curtain of rain.
At this moment, Bai Cheng stood at the train door, about to turn back to check the information on the card in her hand, when she suddenly noticed that the vegetation outside was rapidly withering after being drenched by the rain.
At the same time, a prompt appeared on the train's screen.
“Your train's durability is decreasing!”
This prompt immediately made both Bai Cheng and Leng Ningxue freeze in place.
“There’s something wrong with this rain,” Leng Ningxue frowned.
Bai Cheng also immediately looked at the abnormal prompt on the detection platform.
“Current Status: Acid Rain Corrosion”
She never expected to encounter an abnormal status even during the day.
It seemed the train didn't need to stop now, because they couldn't get off at all.
And because Bai Cheng had already used her skill last night to resist the insect tide's anomaly, she currently had no means of countering this acid rain whatsoever.
Of course, at least for the former anomaly, Bai Cheng could find a solution in advance when she was in the Lava Volcano area, but the acid rain came without any warning.
There was nothing they could do; they could only rely on the train's inherent strength to endure it.
“Who knows how long this rain will last?” Bai Cheng’s brows were already knitted together. It had been overcast ever since she entered the Rainforest, so it wasn't impossible for it to rain all day.
Bai Cheng immediately closed the train door and said to Leng Ningxue, “Let’s go full speed ahead! Maybe we can drive out of this area covered by acid rain!”
“Okay!” Leng Ningxue immediately pushed the power lever to full throttle upon hearing this, and the train instantly began to accelerate.
Fortunately, the materials needed to repair the train's durability were not expensive; for them now, it was just a drop in the bucket.
The train began to shuttle through the depths of the vast Rainforest. Looking around, there were tall, thick trees everywhere, so dense that they blocked out the sky, making it impossible to see anything beyond a hundred meters from the train.
There was only an endless track, winding forward.
Because of the acid rain, and the train traveling at high speed, the thick layer of insect corpses clinging to the windows was also successfully cleared away.
Leng Ningxue stood by the window, observing outside, her face full of worry.
“A terrain with so many abnormal statuses… This is useless to us, yet it has to be this annoying.”
Bai Cheng looked at the screen and replied without turning her head, “Who knows, there might be something even more annoying coming.”
“Bai Cheng, don’t jinx it!”
“Congratulations on successfully being elected as the #2 channel leader and successfully completing this week's event!”
“Pioneer Trial Three Countdown: 3 days”
“I didn't expect this first week's event to also be one of the prerequisites for activating the Pioneer Trial,” Bai Cheng muttered, then closed the event prompt in front of her.
She then checked the Immortal Card in her hand.
“Name: All-Channel Hegemony Ticket”
“Quality: Immortal”
“Description: ??? ”
“Binding Prerequisite: Strength raised to War General-level and completion of the Pioneer Trial.”
“Evaluation: A ticket to the path of legend.”
“As expected, some hints have already appeared on it,” Bai Cheng narrowed her eyes, but specific information was still not revealed much.
However, with just the name, it was not difficult to guess; it was probably a contention involving all Survivors across all channels.
Seeing that this item was currently useless to ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) her, Bai Cheng put it aside for now.
“Speaking of which, the information on this card reminded me.”
Bai Cheng immediately rummaged through a box in the corner and found that she currently had nearly two hundred magic crystals.
“That should be enough for the two of us, right?”
She planned to use the magic crystals directly to raise her level to Elite Tier 9, thereby initiating the Advancement Quest.
If they were to break through by naturally increasing experience points at the current stage, then they might encounter Survivors from other channels when they went to the Advancement Platform.
“Employees have a higher level cap than Survivors by one major tier, and the BOSS for Elite advancement is Elite-grade…”
Bai Cheng muttered, “Which means the BOSS at this Advancement Platform is highly likely to be War General-level.”
If it was truly as she guessed, then with the current strength of the employees, defeating the BOSS would almost certainly not be a problem.
But if they had to wait for the employees to also get stuck at the War General-level, that would take too long.
Having made up her mind, Bai Cheng immediately began to frantically absorb the magic crystals from the box.
Her level was low, so the experience points required were not that massive.
After continuously absorbing eighty magic crystals, Bai Cheng’s strength soared from Elite Tier 4 all the way to Elite Tier 9, already initially meeting the activation conditions for the spoils of war quest.
Leng Ningxue, who was beside her, saw this and a hint of realization flashed in her eyes.
“Bai Cheng, are you planning to activate the Advancement Quest? But the BOSS’s strength is still…”
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly froze.
Is there any BOSS that four War General-level employees couldn't handle?
Apparently not, and activating the Advancement Quest earlier would also mean subsequent actions would be one step faster than all other Survivors.
At this moment, Bai Cheng also clicked on her personal information to view it.
“Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title: Bai Cheng”
“Level: Elite Tier 9”
“Experience: 80%”
“Strength: 33”
“Physique: 33”
“Spirit: 51”
“Talent: cheng book”
Leng Ningxue beside her was directly shocked: “How are your three stats so high?!”
Bai Cheng tilted her head and spread her hands, “I’m just A, where is it high?”
“Not those three measurements!”
Leng Ningxue pointed at the screen, immediately closed Bai Cheng’s information, and then opened her own.
“Crew Member: Leng Ningxue”
“Level: Elite Tier 3”
“Experience: 67%”
“Strength: 16”
“Physique: 15”
“Spirit: 25”
“Talent: True Ice”
“Seriously, sister, it’s more than double!”
Leng Ningxue always knew there was a gap between her and Bai Cheng, but she never expected the gap to be so huge!
“By the way, what are Yu Nian’s three stats…”
“I know that!” Bai Cheng quickly answered, “36D!”
Leng Ningxue’s response was an eye-roll, but before she could continue to open Yu Nian’s information out of curiosity, Huang Yu’s voice suddenly came from behind her.
“Ladies, your subordinate has prepared breakfast. Please move to car number three.”
Bai Cheng turned her head: “Huang Yu, you came at just the right time.”
She extended her finger, pointed to the box beside her, and continued, “Absorb all the magic crystals inside. This can quickly increase your strength.”
After Bai Cheng's strength increased to Elite Tier 9, the remaining magic crystals were naturally left for the new employee, Huang Yu.
After all, his current strength was still at Elite Tier 3, even lower than Bai Cheng's level before her advancement.
“Thank you for your generosity, Young Miss.” The other party quickly bowed.
Leng Ningxue still wanted to continue operating the screen, but Bai Cheng directly dragged her away without explanation.
“Wait, I haven’t seen it yet!”
“Eat first.”
