43 Chapter - Clearing The Ghosts
"Top-tier! Legendary Gold Employee Card!"
"You have gained 1 Free Attribute Point!"
A golden light flashed, and all the white cards in her hand transformed into a single, shimmering Gold Employee Card.
The front of the card was almost identical to the scene when Bai Cheng summoned Scarlet Flame, also featuring a large golden question mark, with no specific characteristics of the employee marked.
"Name: Employee Card (Unknown)"
"Quality: Legendary"
"Evaluation: A random legendary creature, who will accompany you to embark on a legendary life."
"Even the description is exactly the same," Bai Cheng said, feeling no novelty about it, and decisively chose to use it.
The golden card turned into dust, scattering like starlight onto the ground, then slowly began to converge into a human figure.
However, this time, the light-and-shadow figure was completely different from the last; it didn't appear tall and mighty, nor did it display an exaggerated physique.
Compared to Scarlet Flame's nearly two-meter-tall bulky figure, this second employee, about to be recruited, was clearly much smaller.
As the light points gradually dimmed, the figure became more solid.
Bai Cheng was surprised to find that the other party's height was similar to her own.
She frowned, guessing, "Is it a girl?"
"Esteemed Lieche Zhang, your subordinate has answered your summons and come to follow you."
A clear, pleasant female voice suddenly echoed, and then Bai Cheng saw the other party kneel on one knee towards her the moment her form solidified.
She immediately looked down, following her gaze, only to see a young woman with purple-pink gradient long hair kneeling before her.
A smooth, fair back was completely exposed to Bai Cheng's eyes; the only covering on her entire upper body was a not-so-wide chest wrap.
And on the ground to the young woman's left, there was an exquisite long saber with a purple scabbard, which appeared to be her weapon.
However, Bai Cheng was somewhat surprised by this; can employees come with their own weapons?
More details were obscured because the young woman was kneeling with her head bowed, so she couldn't see them.
"Get up, no need to be so polite," Bai Cheng said, calming her emotions.
The young woman then slowly stood up.
Although their heights were similar, due to the difference in status, she still lowered her gaze slightly, keeping her head bowed.
But even so, Bai Cheng could still see her exquisite, flawless face and a pair of unusually striking azure pupils.
She hadn't expected her second employee to be a beautiful young woman!
The young woman's lower body was clad in loose, cuffed long pants, predominantly purple-black, which was the most covering piece of clothing on her entire body.
As for her feet, they were completely bare.
After thoroughly examining her beautiful young woman employee, Bai Cheng still couldn't discern any clues from her surface characteristics.
She could be said to be completely indistinguishable from an ordinary human girl.
But with Scarlet Flame's experience, Bai Cheng certainly wouldn't believe the young woman was an ordinary person.
Moreover, employees are recruited from local creatures, and there are no humans here, so how could she recruit a human!
"Employee: Nameless (You can name her)"
"Race: Demon Spirit Race"
"Level: Elite Tier 1 (0%)"
"Quality: Legendary"
"Spirit Weapon and Tier: Ming Yuan (Common Tier)"
"Trait 1: Master Swordsman: Possesses exquisite swordsmanship and a physique far superior to those of the same level."
"Trait 2: Spirit Severing: Spirit Weapon will advance with self-level breakthroughs, and slashes can injure both flesh and soul."
"Trait 3: Combat Specialization: Born for battle, able to gain insights through combat, becoming stronger the more she fights."
Seeing the young woman's information, Bai Cheng still had some questions, but she roughly guessed that her race seemed to inherently possess a Spirit Weapon, perhaps even a part of her body.
However, these three traits seemed somewhat unremarkable compared to Scarlet Flame's three traits.
It didn't describe the abilities the young woman possessed, nor did it mention any attack power bonuses against enemies, only a simple and vague "becomes stronger the more she fights."
Looking at all the information, the young woman truly seemed like an ordinary person who became stronger through diligent cultivation.
But Bai Cheng absolutely didn't believe she would be such an unremarkable 'flower vase'.
Her gaze fell on the young woman's exquisite purple long saber; the scabbard was carved with a soaring kite bird.
Bai Cheng then looked at her purple-themed attire and said, "From now on, you'll be called Zi Yuan."
"Thank you for the name, Lieche Zhang," Zi Yuan responded coolly.
At this moment, Bai Cheng had already turned to look outside the train door; within this hour, the area around the train was relatively safe, and the specters had not returned.
Scarlet Flame dared not relax [N O V E L I G H T] his vigilance and still stood firmly at the misty boundary.
"Go, clear out the surrounding specters and gain as much experience as possible."
Bai Cheng gave the order, and Scarlet Flame also looked back at his new colleague.
"Demon Spirit Race... truly a rare race," a hint of surprise flashed in Scarlet Flame's eyes.
But Zi Yuan ignored him and walked directly past him, then charged into the mist with her saber.
Soon, Bai Cheng saw several faint purple saber gleams intermittently flashing in the mist before her, and at the same time, prompts continuously popped up on the screen.
"It seems the specters' home is very close to us," Bai Cheng withdrew her gaze, as she could see almost nothing through the mist.
As for Scarlet Flame, if Zi Yuan was responsible for killing enemies, he had to stay behind to protect the train and Bai Cheng's safety, so he didn't move.
"Scarlet Flame, is there anything special about the Demon Spirit Race?"
Bai Cheng's voice suddenly came from behind her; she had added her attribute points and was now holding the cheng book, having chosen the condenser as her new upgrade target.
"condenser: 0/1"
It upgrades by producing fresh water, another item that requires time to upgrade.
Upon hearing Bai Cheng's words, Scarlet Flame quickly turned to explain, no longer as tense and worried as before.
"Miss, individuals of the Demon Spirit Race are rare, but each one is a warrior favored by the heavens. To defeat them, unless you achieve an overwhelming advantage, you will only put yourself at a disadvantage and may not even have time to escape."
"Hearing you say that..." Bai Cheng rubbed her chin, "If it's not an overwhelming level difference, wouldn't the Demon Spirit Race be invincible?"
Scarlet Flame frowned, though he didn't want to admit it: "In a one-on-one fight... there's almost no chance of winning at the same level."
Receiving such an evaluation from Scarlet Flame, Bai Cheng suddenly understood.
However, before she could speak again, she suddenly felt a warm current in her lower abdomen, as if something was colliding, then it instantly surged throughout her body, turning into a comfortable sensation.
She, of course, knew what was happening. "I've leveled up!"
Bai Cheng immediately wanted to get up and return to the carriage to check, but then she saw the mist in front of her stir, and Zi Yuan walked back, holding her saber with a calm expression.
And in her hand, she was holding a treasure chest emitting a faint blue light!
