39 Chapter - Team Building

Bai Cheng was startled, simply unable to believe her eyes.

"This should be a coincidence of names, right? If it were her, how could she..."

Bai Cheng searched her mind for information about her best friend, but most of the results were unpublishable content.

Her mouth twitched: "Alright, this is indeed something she would do."

Since the exchange only showed names and no avatars, Bai Cheng had no choice but to open the channel again to search.

After entering the name, what popped up were the five dazzling characters "Pioneer Yu Nian," and the three-seven parted, pink long hair with curled ends in the large headshot that came into view.

Bai Cheng had an even deeper impression of that exquisite face; her peach blossom eyes and slightly upturned lips seemed to be smiling, yet also carried a hint of playfulness.

With such striking features, combined with this face that Bai Cheng was more than familiar with, she could be absolutely certain.

This was the Yu Nian she knew!

"You unlucky girl," Bai Cheng didn't know whether to be excited that she would have a reliable partner, or to sigh that the other party had also come to this ruined world like herself.

However, it seemed Yu Nian also had talent; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have obtained the title of Pioneer.

But this made Bai Cheng even more puzzled: why would someone with strength still sell her socks??

She thought no one would have such a perverse hobby.

Well, if it was Yu Nian, ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) you really couldn't say for sure...

Looking back at her memories, Bai Cheng had only two simple words to describe this best friend of hers.

That was — heaven-defying!

Bai Cheng had already experienced turning into a girl once, but she seriously suspected that Yu Nian was the one who had transmigrated with a male soul in a female body.

Of course, aside from her lusting after her body, she was still very reliable.

The two grew up together in an orphanage; as the only two girls of the same period, their relationship was as close as sisters.

Although she didn't know why their relationship later deteriorated, Bai Cheng guessed it was inseparable from the other party's work environment.

After all, being in a group composed entirely of women for a long time, it was inevitable for lesbians to emerge.

As the order in front of her was suddenly bought out, Bai Cheng abruptly snapped back to reality.

She wasn't surprised that some perverts would buy it, even if the price wasn't cheap.

But what Bai Cheng didn't expect was that just a few seconds later, Yu Nian actually listed another trade order.

"Trader: Yu Nian"

"Trade Item: A pair of worn white boneless socks"

"Demand: Iron Ingot * 5"

"You have more??" Bai Cheng was shocked. When transmigrating, basically only the clothes on one's body would follow; personal items like phones and necklaces would all disappear.

"Who wears two pairs of socks, normal people don't!"

A hint of curiosity instantly surged in Bai Cheng's heart.

Would this thing have some special bonus like her clothes?

Anyway, it wasn't expensive, buy a pair and see!

It could also serve to attract Yu Nian's attention.

Speaking of which, although she was intimately familiar with the other party deep down, Bai Cheng realized that she hadn't said a single word to her since becoming a girl.

For Bai Cheng, socializing with girls was already a troublesome matter, and she wasn't sure if the other party would notice anything.

She had no romantic feelings for Yu Nian, but humans are social animals, and the other party was indeed a trustworthy partner.

"Who understands the feeling of salvation when you meet your good brother while surviving in another world?"

"No, it's my good best friend."

Bai Cheng chose to trade, and a pair of small white socks immediately appeared at the bottom of the screen.

She picked them up with two fingers and carefully observed them under the light; the surface was slightly yellowed and carried a faint sour smell, confirming they had indeed been worn.

But no matter how she looked at them, these were just ordinary socks.

Now Bai Cheng could finally confirm it: these were prepared for perverts!

"What's going on? Can she really get rich relying on this...?" She was somewhat puzzled, but more so, speechless.

Dropping the socks, Bai Cheng stood in front of the screen, arms crossed, quietly waiting for the other party's reply.

Soon, the other party indeed started spamming.

"Holy crap! Xiao Cheng, it's really you!!"

"I knew that even if we transmigrated, we would be together!"

"Wuwu, I was worried you wouldn't survive after transmigrating, but seeing your title finally puts my mind at ease."

"My Xiao Cheng is indeed still excellent. How is it, do you miss Mama?"

"Pioneer Yu Nian has sent you a team invitation! Do you accept?"

Looking at the message and the pop-up prompt, Bai Cheng didn't immediately click accept.

Her mouth twitched; she still wanted to confirm first.

Bai: "Are there other people in your team?"

Yu: "You hesitated, you actually hesitated! You don't love me anymore, right? In the end, I'll bear everything alone..."

Bai: "Seriously..."

Yu: "I haven't found a suitable one yet. For so many days, besides you, I haven't met a single acquaintance, and teaming up with strangers really lacks trust."

Seeing the other party's reply, Bai Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like she's not stupid after all."

Bai: "The biggest drawback of the team function is the trust issue. Rashly teaming up with strangers has a high probability of being backstabbed, so it's best not to team up easily with people you can't fully trust."

Yu: "Got it, of course, I can think of that too!"

Bai Cheng knew very well that in this train survival world, the horror of human hearts far exceeded that of demonic beasts.

She didn't immediately accept Yu Nian's invitation but created a team herself and re-invited the other party.

The captain wouldn't have more power than the team members, but in her hands, she could at least ensure that no strangers would be pulled into the team.

Of course, even if she invited them, with Bai Cheng's current strength, she wouldn't have to worry about being backstabbed by teammates at all.

In a world without laws, it's the law of the jungle, and strength is always king.

Yu Nian almost instantly accepted the team invitation, and at the same time, some of her basic information was displayed on the screen.

"Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor): Pioneer Yu Nian"

"Current Level: Ordinary First-tier"

"Train Level: Lv.1 Steam Train"

There was only a very simple template; as for the other party's employees, talents, and other private information, none of it was visible.

"Tip: To reach the same station platform, team members need to precisely control their arrival time, with a time difference within one hour."

Bai Cheng had just been curious about this issue and was instantly enlightened when she saw the tip.

However, before she could share the information with Yu Nian, two more prompts popped up on the screen.

"#1 Station Platform Area Channel Rankings have been settled!"

"Your ranking is First Place!"
