181 Chapter - Lord Game!
Bai Cheng looked in the direction of the voice and found that most of them were people she knew.
Parked on the track next to them was, surprisingly, the train belonging to Liu San and others, also located in the Deathly Rainforest.
"Miss Bai Cheng!" The other party exclaimed, "It's an honor to meet you for the first time!"
He quickly ran up to Bai Cheng like a lackey, greeting her.
The others on the train did the same.
They introduced themselves, but with so many people, Bai Cheng couldn't remember them all, and she was too lazy to try, only nodding perfunctorily.
Meanwhile, others in the Station who heard the commotion also turned their gaze towards them, primarily the Pioneers.
This was their first time seeing the leader from Channel #2, and besides being amazed by her appearance, they were more skeptical of her strength.
In contrast to Liu San and the others' reactions, these Pioneers were silently observing, or rather, they couldn't immediately accept their new leader.
The Pioneers, of course, needed no introduction; upon seeing Bai Cheng, they acted even more familiar and natural than Liu San and the others.
Bai Cheng was momentarily overwhelmed by all the greetings.
"Everyone, this trial might be a team-based mission. We must obey Miss Bai Cheng's commands; she will surely lead us to victory!"
Liu San shouted, and all the Pioneers present responded, including those Pioneers who had been silent moments before, all expressing their support.
After all, besides relying on the strongest person in their channel, they had no other options.
Bai Cheng politely waved her hand at the crowd. Now, the Survivors within the same channel were no longer her opponents, so there was naturally no need to harbor hostility.
She said, "If it's a team mission, I will do my best, but the primary task now is to enter the Station."
Liu San was the first to agree: "Miss Bai Cheng is right; the most important thing now is to understand the rules first!"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately cleared a path. The large entrance to the Station actually had only one very large mechanical door for entry.
A prompt kept flashing on a screen nearby.
"【Requires channel leader to complete authentication before opening!】"
Since the interior of the Station was absolutely safe, Bai Cheng and ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) her two companions could naturally bring all their employees without worry.
The others did the same.
When Bai Cheng arrived in front of the massive mechanical door, the crowd behind her, along with their respective employees, swarmed around.
After fingerprint and iris authentication, the information on the screen beside it immediately changed as Bai Cheng logged in.
"【Welcome all to Liuhe Island Station!】"
"【Station Introduction: All areas Survivors have traversed, including the Lush Grassland, Dark Forest, Muddy Swamp, Frigid Snow Mountain, Lava Volcano, and Deathly Rainforest, will converge within the Station to form an island.】"
"【Trial Details: Based on the Pioneer's (Pioneers, Forerunners...) current region, choose an initial location. Everyone will be randomly dropped at a location within their current region.
A barracks that can summon random troop types, a castle that commands the entire situation. Everyone will play a Lord's Game on the island!】
"【Victory Conditions: The last channel leader survives / Unify the entire island】"
"【Note: Specific rules need to be checked personally after descending onto the island. At the same time, the entrance to the Station has been sealed and will open after the trial ends.】"
The screen next to the mechanical door was large, so even with everyone gathered, they could all clearly see the specific information displayed.
Looking at the trial details before them, Bai Cheng hadn't spoken yet, but the crowd had already begun to discuss in surprise.
"No wonder it's called Liuhe Island; it's an island formed by six terrains stitched together."
"The victory condition of 'the last leader survives'... that means the so-called 'team' is a battle between channels!"
Compared to the latter victory condition of unifying the entire island, the former was clearly easier to achieve.
"So, there will be many leaders on the island? Not to mention other Pioneers..."
"By the way, what's a Lord's Game?"
"Haven't you played real-time strategy (SLG) games? It's about summoning troops, training armies, and conquering!"
Screech—
At this moment, the enormous mechanical door before them slowly began to open after emitting a loud rumble.
Bai Cheng looked at the wide, endless passage before her. She said, "All leaders should currently be in the Deathly Rainforest, which is the most competitive and dangerous place."
"You will spawn in other locations based on your current terrain and will face similar opponents, so there's no need to worry too much."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"So, our primary goal at the start is to rendezvous with Miss Bai Cheng, and then unite the strength of the entire Channel #2, right?" Liu San pondered, somewhat unsure.
Bai Cheng, of course, couldn't be certain either. She shook her head: "I don't know; we'll see the specific situation and rules once we're inside."
"However, if we can successfully unite, that would naturally be for the best."
After all, their Channel #2 had just completed a merger, possessing Pioneers from two channels. Their sheer numbers would absolutely overwhelm any other channel right now.
How could this not be an advantage for their Channel #2?
"Everyone, remember not to reveal that our channels have merged, or we might be targeted by a coalition of multiple channels," Leng Ningxue also reminded them.
"Don't worry, no one's stupid. Throwing away our advantage would be seeking death!"
"Exactly, exactly. Our Channel #2 is powerful, and with the great Bai Cheng leading, we will definitely win!"
Everyone was full of confidence, cheering each other on.
Even Liu San felt a sense of relief: Fortunately, the stronger Bai Cheng replaced Wang Gang as the leader; otherwise, this trial would have been dangerous.
If they were still Wang Gang's teammates, they would certainly have been killed along with him.
But now that they had become ordinary Pioneers, even if Bai Cheng died, the worst outcome they would face would simply be a merger.
However, he forgot that they were still in the Deathly Rainforest! After descending onto Liuhe Island, the opponents they would face were the leaders of all channels!
Yet, compared to the optimism of others, Bai Cheng seemed a bit worried at this moment.
Lord's Game... undoubtedly, the main combat force would be the randomly drawn and summoned troops.
Even if she had several War General-level employees, could they stand against thousands, or even tens of thousands, of troops?
"Random troop types, I hope my luck isn't too bad."
Bai Cheng mumbled, then said again, "Everyone, get ready, let's go in!"
The reason they discussed before entering the Station was that no one was sure if they would directly descend into a battlefield after stepping into this passage.
After saying this, Bai Cheng and her two employees led the way into the long corridor.
The crowd behind them quickly followed, swarming in.
This dark corridor seemed to have no end in sight, and Bai Cheng could only advance with her employees towards the deepest part.
But just as she was still wondering when they would enter the interior of the Station, the crowd behind them had, unknowingly, silently disappeared.
"Miss Bai Cheng, look behind you!" Liu San noticed the anomaly and quickly exclaimed.
But before Bai Cheng could turn her head, all of them were enveloped by an invisible energy.
The next second, their vision spun wildly.
