177 Chapter - Sending Magic Crystals
On the other side, several people were greatly surprised by the constant pop-up notifications on their screens.
“The Boss is dead!”
“This, this… Sphinx was War General-level, and it didn’t even take half an hour… How could it be so fast!”
The subsequent notifications on the screen immediately made the remaining six people understand their current predicament.
“The guy who killed the Boss is from the Channel #2, and their leader is… isn’t that the white-haired girl who completed the promotion mission?!”
Someone scrolled through the channel and found Bai Cheng’s information.
They had just seen her in Deadwood City during the day, so how could they not be familiar with her!
“Damn it, this time the Boss ran into a tough opponent. What do we do?”
The few people were at a loss, all looking at their new Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor), Liu San.
He was a scrawny man, and he was quite helpless at the moment.
“Should we compete with this Bai Cheng for the leader position?” someone suggested.
But Liu San flew into a rage upon hearing this: “Are you kidding me?!”
“Our strongest employee, Sphinx, has already been killed. Are we, a bunch of pathetic losers, supposed to do it?”
“Now, whether everyone can survive in the Deathly Rainforest is a problem, and you want to compete for the leader of the market!”
“Right, right…” Liu San suddenly realized, a hint of panic in his eyes.
“Bai Cheng is nearby, and we’ve become her competitors. She definitely won’t let us off!”
“We’re finished… We’re finished!”
Liu San was scared to death at this moment, frantically scrolling through the screen: “No, not only can we not compete with her…”
“They say women hold grudges. We also need everyone from the original #748 Channel to support her!!”
At this time, all Survivors in the channel had, of course, received the notification that channels #748 and #2 were merging.
However, ‘annexation’ would be a more accurate description.
The excellent Survivors of Channel 748 had received the title “Pioneer,” and the title would not be corrected or could not be actively unequipped.
After the merger, an invisible divide had already formed between them and the Pioneers, creating two distinct forces.
At this moment, the channel was exceptionally lively.
“What’s going on? Why are two perfectly fine channels merging?”
“No, even if they merge, why use the other channel’s number?”
“Are you kidding me? You guys are the ones coming to our channel, okay!”
“Exactly, it’s clearly your channel that was annexed by us.”
“What ‘Pioneer’? With that little brain? Just call them ‘Retreaters’ instead!”
Without any surprise, after a few exchanges, the two groups of Survivors started a war of words, and information on the channel scrolled rapidly, dazzling everyone for a moment.
“So what if we join your channel? I’m telling you, our leader has War General-level employees. You pathetic guys just wait to be ruled!”
“That’s right, even a little girl can be the boss here for you guys. What a bunch of failures!”
“Better pray she doesn’t run into our leader in a public area, otherwise, hehe!”
But the next second, the message posted by Liu San slapped the faces of the original Channel 748 members.
“The reason for the channel merger is the death of the leader. The Boss has been killed by Bai Cheng. I, Liu San, as the new competitor, voluntarily give up my spot and hope everyone will support Bai Cheng.”
“What?!” “So… so that’s why our 748 Channel was annexed by Channel #2!”
“…”
These guys fell silent for a moment. Not only were their strengths inferior to the Channel #2, but they also didn’t even have as many people as the other side. Even if they competed, they were no match at all.
“This channel merger seems to shake your leader status, Xiao Cheng?”
At this moment, Yu Nian stared intently at the screen and couldn’t help but comment.
Bai Cheng didn’t pay too much attention: “If there are competitors, just deal with them directly. What’s the use of these guys voting?”
“That’s true, after all, strength is everything.”
Seeing Liu San voluntarily give up the competition, Bai Cheng naturally didn’t send Bluebird to hunt him down anymore.
As long as these guys didn’t cause her trouble, she didn’t mind sparing their lives.
Of course, having Liu San speak for Bai Cheng in the channel could also better deter the Pioneers from the original 748 Channel, saving her from being disgusted by trivial matters like leader voting.
Another point was that they were now considered part of the Channel #2, and killing them wouldn't yield any additional attribute point rewards.
“Bai Cheng, what do you think? After other Survivors discover that killing people can make them stronger, will they directly…”
Hearing Leng Ningxue’s words, Bai Cheng nodded without any hesitation.
“That’s inevitable. The system is just making us kill each other.”
“That guy’s griffin looks really cool,” Yu Nian said, still toying with the purple employee card that dropped after killing the opponent. She suddenly realized something else.
“By the way, Xiao Cheng, we can still recruit one more employee on our train, right?”
“Of course, but I plan to hoard some magic crystals before recruiting,” Bai Cheng explained.
“After all, we don’t lack combat power right now. Even a Legendary Employee, if he’s only Elite-grade, won’t be of much help to us.”
Mainly, Bai Cheng was different from others; all of her employees were meant to be developed.
For the foreseeable future, the priority should be to concentrate resources on building a Guardian-level individual first, rather than recruiting new employees.
“But I’m afraid the experience needed to advance to Guardian-level is a bottomless pit…”
She glanced at her wrist, noting the time. Dawn was approaching.
Bai Cheng clapped her hands, intending to go back to sleep, but before that, she re-informed Lü Duo about another ore burial site.
Leng Ningxue and Yu Nian continued to farm monsters, and the collected ores were put into smelting.
Tomorrow would be the last day before the Pioneer Trial began, and Bai Cheng intended to use this time to collect enough minerals to upgrade the train.
In a flash, Silent Night dispersed, and dawn arrived.
A considerable number of beautiful ingots, emitting a golden-orange glow, had accumulated by the furnace, and messages were constantly flashing on the screen.
“Ancient Gold Ingot +1”
“…+1”
“You have obtained Ancient Gold ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Ingot, unlocking Steam Engine Improvement, Window Improvement, Armor Improvement…”
Bai Cheng yawned and came to the front of the train, first checking Lü Duo’s harvest from last night.
From the two ore burial sites, she obtained about 400 Ancient Gold Ores in total, and Lü Duo had dug a large pit in the ground.
“This yield is pretty good,” Bai Cheng mused, stroking her chin. “Daytime efficiency is higher than nighttime. It’ll be no problem to gather enough for the upgrade today.”
Then, just as Bai Cheng was about to continue checking her newly unlocked buildings, a friend request suddenly popped up on the screen.
“Pioneer Liu San requests to add you as a friend!”
“What does this guy… want?” Bai Cheng couldn’t help but feel a little confused at the sight.
But after the friend request was accepted, Liu San immediately sent her a large pile of magic crystals!
