83 Chapter - Long-Awaited Server-Wide Announcement

Ever since recruiting Zi Yuan, Bai Cheng had not deliberately collected employee cards.

Nevertheless, she still collected quite a few, whether by killing monsters or plundering other survivors along the way.

Moreover, compared to before, green employee cards were now scarce, with blue ones being more common.

Though in her opinion, these employee cards were somewhat useless.

"22 blue employee cards, 14 green employee cards, and a few white employee cards... should be enough, right?"

However, Bai Cheng wasn't worried at all; if it wasn't enough, she could just use white cards to supplement.

After all, these things were truly worth less than cabbage prices now.

Synthesizing a legendary employee card posed no pressure for Bai Cheng.

【Blue Employee Card: 0/80】

Compared to the second synthesis, this time the requirement had indeed increased significantly, but Bai Cheng was directly upgrading blue employee cards, only needing two more upgrades to reach legendary.

As the cards in her hand merged, a purple light flashed.

【Purple Employee Card: 42/120】

Bai Cheng looked at the information on the cheng book and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, it's still a bit short."

She had no choice but to take out some accumulated junk and list it on the exchange, waiting for transactions.

While waiting, Bai Cheng also prepared dinner for herself and Zi Yuan.

At the same time, she didn't forget to fuse the ice element core Leng Ningxue had given her with her second carriage.

The food Bai Cheng brought from the Snow Mountain Ancient Castle had long been consumed, and during this time, she had been eating only beast meat obtained by Red Flame's hunting.

The barrenness of the snowy mountains and the uncertainty of subsequent Stations indeed made Bai Cheng realize the importance of storing food.

And conveniently, Leng Ningxue's ice element could directly ensure that food wouldn't rot, which was a great help to her.

Bai Cheng walked to the back, planning to check things out.

Passing by the first carriage, she found that the planted potatoes had grown seedlings about ten centimeters tall, and they would be fully mature in a few days.

"Finally, I can eat vegetables," Bai Cheng felt a faint sense of anticipation. "However, if I have the chance, it would be good to plant more."

Arriving at the second carriage, what met her eyes were boxes piled almost to the brim, along with some useless facilities haphazardly stacked together.

These were all items completely useless to Bai Cheng, such as tables, chairs, furniture, pickaxes, and axes.

Exchanging them for employee cards would also allow her to get rid of all this junk.

However, most of these items were not essential for current survivors, so the transaction speed was not very fast, leading to them still being accumulated here.

After fusing with the ice element, the second carriage was no different from before, except for a faint chill emanating from within.

But compared to the icy wilderness outside, it was still far from cold, considered warm.

"This carriage will be used for food storage from now on... and also as a warehouse for boxes."

Bai Cheng looked back at the first carriage behind her: "This place can only be used for planting from now on."

When will I have some private space!

Returning to the front of the train, Zi Yuan was squatting in front of the cooking pot, staring eagerly at the ingredients inside, crystal clear drool sliding from the corner of her mouth, completely disregarding her image.

"Miss, is it ready to eat?!"

As soon as she saw Bai Cheng, she eagerly asked.

Bai Cheng glanced at the time, "It should be almost ready, you try it."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yuan directly grabbed a piece of meat with her hand and ungracefully put it into her mouth: "(Chew, chew, chew) It's delicious, Miss!"

"By the way, Miss, do we still have that red, sour stuff?"

"You mean tomato?" Bai Cheng rummaged through a nearby box, found the last one, "Here, put it in the pot yourself."

Zi Yuan had already gained experience from eating with Bai Cheng these past few days, and with a few quick cuts, she chopped the tomato into pieces and put it into the pot.

The aroma grew stronger, but she still restrained her urge to feast, first serving a bowl and handing it to Bai Cheng.

As for the bowl, it was made of fired clay.

Bai Cheng also taught Zi Yuan many human eating habits.

And just as Bai Cheng was eating, she suddenly felt a warm current spread throughout her body, followed by a gradual sense of comfort.

She understood that this was a sign of her level increasing.

But... she was already a Common Rank Nine!

Soon, just as this feeling was about ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) to reach its peak, it abruptly stopped, leaving Bai Cheng feeling uncomfortable.

She didn't feel her physique improve, and there was no change from before.

But Bai Cheng still reacted quickly, immediately looking at the screen.

【Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title: Bai Cheng】

【Level: Common Rank Nine】

【Experience: 100%】

【Strength: 24】

【Physique: 24】

【Spirit: 30】

【Talent: cheng book】

"Indeed, the experience is full," Bai Cheng's eyes narrowed, "I can't break through without completing the loot altar mission."

She then turned her gaze to the loot altar.

【Name: loot altar】

【Current Loot: 2/2 (Satisfied)】

【Prerequisite: Level Reached Common Rank Nine (Satisfied)】

【Conditions Met, Do You Want To Immediately Start The Promotion Mission!】

Bai Cheng had long been curious about this mission and decisively clicked confirm.

【Promotion Mission (1): First Entry into Transcendent】

【Mission Details: The Station has been fixed as a special Promotion Trial Station. Killing the BOSS will grant a promotion slot.】

【Announcement: This Station is a free-type Station. You can invite other survivors to fight together (unlimited number of people). At the same time, all survivors who complete the loot altar mission will be forced to start this mission.】

【Cooldown: 3 days (Cannot start the promotion mission again during the cooldown period)】

【Hint: Among all survivors who complete the loot altar mission, only one person can obtain all promotion slots, including your helpers, but you can transfer slots to them.】

Bai Cheng was slightly stunned; the mission was quite simple.

However, the Station's restriction was clearly meant to reignite the conflict among the promoters.

"Is it that the strong remain strong? Interesting."

Three days might not create too much of a gap, but one step slow means every step slow; the further along, the more promoters there will be, and the more intense the competition.

It's impossible to not promote and still expect to survive in later Stations; this is clearly impossible.

And just as Bai Cheng was deep in thought, several messages popped up on the screen again.

【Channel Announcement!】

【Congratulations to Pioneer Bai Cheng for opening the promotion mission for the first time, receiving a special reward!】

This announcement was forcibly displayed in front of all survivors, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Those who didn't understand still didn't understand, while those who knew the situation frowned, feeling immense pressure.

The long-awaited announcement also made the stagnant channel uncharacteristically active again.

"Promotion mission? What does that mean? Does anyone know?"

"Looking at the name, it should be a mission unlocked by a level breakthrough, which means Bai Cheng is already Common Rank Nine?"

"You have to do a mission to break through? That's such a scam!"

"Recruiting teammates, Pioneers preferred, my mission has also started!" The last message was sent by Tang Yan.

However, Bai Cheng was not paying attention to the channel's movements at this time; she had long stopped watching these people chat.

But this announcement, besides making her famous again, was not without other benefits.

The junk she had previously listed on the exchange sold out at an extremely fast rate, and Bai Cheng finally collected the remaining 78 white employee cards.

As a golden light flashed, a golden legendary employee card was synthesized in her hand.
