52 Chapter - Yu Nian'S Talent

“Aren’t you my sister, what’s going on?”

“We haven’t seen each other for a few days, but you can’t mistake me for someone else, can you?”

Zi Yuan’s face was also full of surprise at this moment. She looked at Bai Cheng, opened her mouth, and said, “Miss, your hat…”

Bai Cheng was stunned, and then she realized.

Her baseball cap made people instinctively ignore her, which led to Yu Nian mistaking her.

Of course, Bai Cheng was more inclined to believe it was due to the dim environment here; the other party only heard her voice but couldn’t discern facial details carefully.

Otherwise, even if the hat could make people overlook her, it wouldn’t cause someone extremely familiar with her to mistake her.

Bai Cheng quickly took off her hat, and Yu Nian in front of her was also suddenly stunned.

“Huh?”

“Xiao Cheng, why did you get plastic surgery?”

“…I’m here,” Bai Cheng said speechlessly.

“Xiao Cheng!” Yu Nian pounced over again, hugging her tightly.

The Emperor’s oppressive aura was too strong, immediately squeezing Bai Cheng to the point where she couldn’t breathe.

But it was also really soft.

Bai Cheng struggled free, pressing her hands on Yu Nian’s shoulders, looking her up and down, then frowning and staring at her, saying,

“What in the world is this outfit you’re wearing?!”

“Huh?” Yu Nian looked down, “Oh!”

Then she said as if it were a matter of course, “Of course it’s for trading! This is the key to my fortune!”

“No,” Bai Cheng rolled her eyes, “where did you get so many socks and… panties?”

“Talent, I used my talent!”

She looked smug, then introduced it concisely.

Simply put, it was item restoration. She could restore and create the original appearance of any item from its fragments.

However, this talent also had corresponding limitations. For example, she couldn’t restore system-processed materials like iron ore and coal.

The same applied to consumables like food and water.

The talent’s focus was actually more inclined towards props or tools, and the time required for restoration increased with different levels or rarity.

The reason Yu Nian had so many socks was entirely because she cut the socks she was originally wearing, disassembled them, and then obtained them through her talent.

As for why she chose clothes, it was because there was almost no cooldown time for restoration.

What was even more absurd was that there was actually a market for this.

Bai Cheng was stunned to hear this. Yu Nian’s talent could be said to be completely different from her cheng book, but it was undeniably equally powerful.

No wonder she could become the first in her original channel…

At the same time, this was the first time Bai Cheng had heard about and encountered other survivors’ talents.

Her mood was complicated, not because she was jealous of how strong Yu Nian’s talent was, but because she felt that other survivors with talents would probably be terrifyingly strong.

In that case, wouldn’t all these Pioneers be elites?

With ten channels merged, there were at least ten survivors who were one-in-a-million geniuses.

“What are you thinking?” Yu Nian waved her hand in front of her, “Xiao Cheng, you still haven’t told me what your talent is?”

Bai Cheng came back to her senses, her gaze sweeping over Scarlet Flame and Zi Yuan. She smiled and uttered two words: “Enhancement.”

“Enhancement?” Yu Nian didn’t seem to care much, instead following her gaze and looking over.

She looked at Scarlet Flame and Zi Yuan, “So who are they? New teammates you recruited?”

Yu Nian then bit her finger, looking thoughtful: “I clearly remember…”

“They are all my employees, enhanced employees,” Bai Cheng explained first.

“Ah?!” Yu Nian was startled, drawing out a long sound, “Why is ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) my employee a buffalo that only eats grass?!”

She didn’t bring her employee into the station for this reason, because a buffalo was of no help to her.

The two reunited after a long separation, and in another world, they had an endless amount to talk about.

They explored the station platform together, while Scarlet Flame and Zi Yuan quietly took on the role of bodyguards.

“By the way, what exactly is this thing?”

Bai Cheng came to the center of the hall, looking at the black robe on the ground and the large black scythe beside it, she couldn’t help but ask curiously.

But her gaze was mainly on her two employees, as they were native magical beasts, and perhaps they would have some understanding of this unknown creature.

But Scarlet Flame looked at Zi Yuan, and both shook their heads in turn.

“Miss, your subordinate has never seen this kind of creature, but it has a strong death aura on it, so it should be a type of undead creature.”

Zi Yuan, on the other hand, directly squatted down, grabbed the black robe on the ground, and sniffed it at her nose.

A moment later, she frowned and said, “Miss, this is not a creature.”

Bai Cheng was immediately surprised to hear this, and Yu Nian beside her also voiced her guess.

“Xiao Cheng, I think it’s more like a station boss, arranged by the system to test us survivors.”

After speaking, she continued to explain: “When I first entered the hall, I noticed something strange and was so scared that I quickly closed the door and was about to run back to the train. But then it stopped moving, so I guessed it was related to the light.”

Yu Nian then turned on her flashlight and shined it around.

Bai Cheng was noncommittal about this; she hadn’t expected her good friend to be quite clever.

“Miss, it is driven by the death aura remaining in its body, and its energy source should be this castle.”

Zi Yuan stood up, also picking up the black scythe on the ground.

Bai Cheng suddenly understood: “This…”

“Miss, this weapon is of very high quality.”

Hearing Zi Yuan’s words, her delicate brows raised: “So it’s a spoils of war, a reward then? Take it!”

Although she didn’t know what use such a scythe would be to her.

Even though there were wall lamps illuminating all four walls, the entire vast and silent hall still appeared very dim.

Using the white light emitted by the flashlight, Bai Cheng and Yu Nian didn’t even find a single screen on this floor, let alone functional facilities like vending machines.

This station was bizarre, eerie, and dangerous; surely there couldn’t be no supplies at all?

Of course, except for the pale, eerie skull throne at the end of the red carpet.

And the path that seemed to lead upstairs was next to the throne.

The four walked towards the archway, getting closer and closer to the throne.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Bai Cheng felt a chill.

Under the throne in front of them, shattered white bones were piled up, and a complete skull, like a human head, was embedded in the armrests and backrest.

And those hollow eye sockets were staring intently at everyone, which was quite unnerving.

Yu Nian felt a chill down her spine from being stared at, and nervously gripped Bai Cheng’s hand tightly.

She was a little scared, her voice trembling: “What the hell is this thing? It’s terrifying me!”

Bai Cheng immediately gave Scarlet Flame a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward, smashing down with a fist burning with flames.

Boom! The white bones shattered, and the throne collapsed.

But then, a strange blueprint slowly floated down, appearing before everyone’s eyes.
