197 Chapter - Final Trial Rewards

Yu Nian said in disbelief, "This is too fast!"

She looked at the new employee, while Leng Ningxue turned to check the screen on the table in the hall.

But before she could act, a strong sense of weightlessness overwhelmed her, and they instantly lost consciousness.

Their vision refocused, and Bai Cheng, Yu Nian, Leng Ningxue, and the other employees were now in a special, grey-white room.

Leng Ningxue was the first to ask, "It seems everything is over, but where are we?"

Meanwhile, Bai Cheng next to her was still pondering, "It seems Xiao Ran really isn't on Liuhe Island; only Chen Xiao came in alone."

Otherwise, there's no way ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ to explain why Chen Xiao's side, despite having the ability to foresee, would dare to deliver herself to them.

"What a pity."

Everyone then looked around. There was no exit in the room, only a screen full of static overhead.

With a flash of light, several pieces of information immediately appeared on it.

"Your courage and wisdom are commendable. Congratulations on successfully completing the Pioneer Ultimate Trial!"

"Permanent Title Bonus: All attribute points +10, 10% additional experience bonus."

"The following are the fixed attribute point rewards obtained by Leader Bai Cheng this time:

"Strength: 39+10 + 19 — > 68"

"Physique: 39+10 + 19 — > 68"

"Spirit: 67+10 + 19 — > 96"

Killing a leader also grants an additional attribute point bonus. Bai Cheng hadn't felt anything before, but only after the trial ended and the Settlement was done did she feel her physique and spirit surge.

"These attributes... surely they can match the three dimensions of a War General-level magical beast of the same rank?!"

Bai Cheng was a little excited. Although she hadn't leveled up this time, her strength had clearly increased by a significant margin.

For example, when using 【Fate】, she could now load bullets as she wished, without worrying about excessive energy consumption.

"Oh my, this isn't fair! Don't we get any rewards?" Yu Nian looked at the information on the screen above, her face full of dissatisfaction.

But even after the information on the screen refreshed a few seconds later, the content she wanted to see still didn't appear.

Next was still the reward announcement, but this time it was for the trial rewards.

"Leader Reward: Train Enhancement (speed increase by 10km/h, fuel consumption reduced by 10%), all members' levels increased by +1, Elemental Resonance Converter; Core Accumulation Prize Pool: Self-selected enhancement upgrade."

"Non-Leader Reward: 2000km free mileage, one train car, three random blueprints, permanent title reward (attribute points, experience bonus)."

Since Bai Cheng was the only leader who survived this trial, strictly speaking, these could also be considered her exclusive rewards.

As for the non-leader rewards below, they were for the Train Conductors who served as Pioneers.

It never mentioned any rewards for passengers like Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue.

Seeing this, Yu Nian became even more dissatisfied: "What is this, sharing hardships but not sharing blessings?"

"Alright, alright," Leng Ningxue consoled her, "Actually, if you look closely, none of these rewards are specifically for individuals. We benefit too."

The various rewards listed above did not support a separate viewing function. To know their specific effects, they would only find out after returning to the train.

This information also hovered for a few seconds before changing again.

"Reward distribution complete. Everyone will leave the Station in one minute..."

Then, a large countdown began to display on the screen.

At this point, the trial was completely declared over.

Withdrawing her gaze from the screen, Bai Cheng now looked at the new employee she had recruited.

Her original intention was not to recruit employees for the time being, as the current combat power was completely sufficient, but Chen Xiao had no other choice at the moment.

"Miss," the girl slightly lowered her head, her clear, cold voice coming out.

Because of the special temporary item, the magic crystal storage, the new employee's strength directly reached War General-level after being summoned, so there was no need to worry about being outpaced by other employees.

"Get to know everyone. You'll all be colleagues from now on."

Six employees, three men and three women, exactly.

"Hello!" Zi Yuan was the first to step forward and greet her, "Miss named me Zi Yuan."

"Hello, everyone," the girl looked at the employees, speaking only three short words.

"Oh, what's your name?"

"..."

Bai Cheng also noticed that this new employee didn't seem to talk much. Unlike Lü Duo's shyness, she seemed to have little interest in anything.

Speaking of names, Bai Cheng also realized, but before she could ask Leng Ningxue and Yu Nian, a 'ding' sound suddenly came from behind her.

Following the sound, a mechanical door on the grey-white wall of the room had slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the entrance Station.

"Let's go."

Bai Cheng called out, and everyone walked towards the exit.

Returning to the original Channel #2 exclusive entrance Station, its appearance had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before.

At first glance, it almost made everyone mistakenly think they had come to the wrong place.

The entrance Station, originally with two hundred tracks, was already large enough, but this time the number of tracks had increased again, so much so that everyone couldn't see the end of them.

The huge indoor space appeared incredibly vast, and the lights overhead illuminated it as bright as day. Even the triangular curtain not far away was many times larger than before.

Each track now had a train parked on it, neatly arranged and countless.

But besides their group, there was no one else here.

It seemed as if the other Survivors had not yet finished their Settlement and left that room.

"This must be after the twenty channels merged, all the Pioneers' trains were transferred to this entrance Station, right?" Leng Ningxue guessed, looking at the exaggerated scene before her.

Yu Nian, next to her, recalled the approximate number of their allies when they killed Chen Xiao, then showed a surprised expression.

"So, there are over a thousand trains parked in this one entrance Station?!"

"This number is indeed a bit exaggerated." Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow. She completely couldn't understand the system's purpose in doing this.

"Oh right, why did those Pioneers betray us?" She suddenly realized, frowning.

Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue both spread their hands, indicating they didn't know.

"It was Liu San who sent us the message."

At this moment, Bai Cheng had already begun to ponder another question: "How about... we just take care of all of them right here?"

Without the Lord's blessing, even if all the original Channel #2 Pioneers combined, they would absolutely not be her opponents.

Just as Leng Ningxue was about to speak, there was a movement from the mechanical door nearby, and then Liu San, Niu Dali, and other non-leader Survivors successively walked out from it.
