85 Chapter - The Newly Recruited Employee Was Promoted To Immortal?
Even with the train traveling at full speed, 500 kilometers would take over 7 hours.
Bai Cheng expected to arrive before dawn, and this amount of time was just enough for her to get some sleep.
Chi Yan took over the driving duties from her, while Zi Yuan's task remained to ensure the train's safety.
Now that Bai Cheng had a third employee, she no longer had to worry about being shorthanded.
Lü Duo could be assigned to guard the rear ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) of the train, which would essentially resolve any major safety issues for the entire train.
However, up until now, Bai Cheng had not encountered any large-scale attacks on the train while it was in motion.
But just in case, who knew what the future might hold?
After Bai Cheng finished giving Lü Duo her assignment, the latter nodded somewhat woodenly, looking as if she had something more to say but was hesitant.
Bai Cheng asked, a little puzzled, "What's wrong? Is something amiss?"
Lü Duo quickly shook her head, "No, nothing at all, Miss."
As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the window, and she asked with some curiosity, "It's just that I sense a very friendly aura."
"Hmm?" Bai Cheng grew even more puzzled and followed her gaze.
There was only a box placed by the window, and if anything inside the box could catch Lü Duo's attention, it would only be the evil spirit totem she had just placed there not long ago.
Bai Cheng walked over, opened the box, picked up the totem, and asked, "Are you talking about this?"
Lü Duo immediately nodded, "Yes, Miss, this item contains a vast amount of energy, if..."
She cautiously glanced at Bai Cheng before continuing, "If I could absorb it, I should achieve a significant breakthrough."
Bai Cheng frowned upon hearing this. So, this totem could be absorbed by her employees?
Seeing Bai Cheng's expression, Lü Duo quickly changed her tune, "Miss, I was just speaking casually. This item must be very important to you..."
"Take it," Bai Cheng waved her hand dismissively.
"Eh?" Lü Duo's unfinished words abruptly stopped. Realizing what had happened, she quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Miss!"
"Don't be so polite. You can protect me better once you become stronger."
Compared to using the evil spirit totem as her trump card, it was clearly more important to enhance her employees' strength right now.
Bai Cheng was clear on this point, so she did not hesitate.
But speaking of this, she suddenly realized something else.
As her newly recruited employee, Lü Duo's initial strength was currently only Elite-grade First Rank.
Chi Yan and Zi Yuan had long since reached the threshold of breaking through to Elite-grade, and the disparity in their strengths was obvious.
Raising her level would not be something that could be achieved in a short time.
But she couldn't just ignore the strength gap among her employees, could she?
Bai Cheng suddenly thought of the several magic crystals in her box. Wouldn't using them now be perfect?
"Fortunately, I hadn't brought myself to use them before."
She mumbled, then rummaged through the box and pulled out four magic crystals, handing them to Lü Duo.
However, Bai Cheng kept one for herself, as this item was still a material for crafting certain special items.
"Take these too, and use them all."
"Ah!" Lü Duo was overwhelmed with flattery, "Miss, you're too good to me!"
"Go absorb them," Bai Cheng waved her hand casually.
Lü Duo's face was filled with excitement. One magic crystal represented one hundred experience points, equivalent to her killing more than ten demonic beasts.
And four in total would save her an untold amount of time.
Magic crystals seemed to be special products processed by the system, allowing employees to absorb them without any pressure.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all four magic crystals were absorbed by Lü Duo, and the large amount of experience points entering her body caused her aura to rise steadily.
Although Bai Cheng's own level was still that of an ordinary person, she had seen many Elite-grade demonic beasts by now.
With just one glance, she could tell that although Lü Duo had become stronger, she still hadn't reached Zi Yuan's level, let alone Chi Yan's.
Bai Cheng looked at the screen again to confirm. As expected, 400 experience points only brought Lü Duo's level to Elite-grade Fourth Rank early stage.
Then, she picked up the evil spirit totem and began to prepare for absorption.
Bai Cheng guessed that this absorption process would take some time, and she originally didn't intend to stay and watch.
But the next second, the evil spirit totem in Lü Duo's hand was suddenly activated, and countless dark brown vines abruptly gushed out from around the totem, like a desperately struggling octopus.
This sudden scene startled Bai Cheng, and she instinctively took a step back.
Not far away, Zi Yuan immediately stood up and had already made a move to draw her sword.
But then, these emerging vines seemed to find their enemy and all swarmed towards Lü Duo.
Almost in the blink of an eye, she was bound like a zongzi.
The entire train compartment fell silent for a moment, with only the constant roar of the steam engine remaining.
Seeing Lü Duo motionless, Bai Cheng couldn't help but look at Zi Yuan with concern, "Is there no risk in absorbing this thing?"
Zi Yuan slowly sheathed her sword and relaxed her vigilance, then explained, "Miss, as far as Zi Yuan knows, no plant-type demonic creatures should be able to harm the royalty of the Forest Elves."
Hearing this answer, Bai Cheng also felt relieved.
"Then it seems the absorption process is going quite smoothly."
"I just wonder what kind of changes will occur," Bai Cheng withdrew her gaze. It looked like it would take a long time to absorb, so she decided not to wait any longer.
It was getting late, so Bai Cheng returned to Car No. 1, preparing to rest.
Click! As the switch was pressed, the entire car instantly plunged into darkness.
The train, like a swimming dragon, or a spark in the darkness, traversed at full speed through the dark, rugged, and freezing snowy mountains.
In a flash, time quietly slipped away.
The storm had not yet receded, and the sky was just barely beginning to lighten when suddenly a red light swept across the entire train.
Bai Cheng only felt the train shake abruptly, and then a powerful and abundant energy instantly swept past her.
Bai Cheng immediately opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, looking bewildered, "What happened?"
She could feel that the energy was coming from the front of the train.
"Has Lü Duo finished absorbing?"
Pushing open the door, Bai Cheng found Lü Duo standing in place, adapting to her strengthened body and power. A faint red glow still emanated from around her.
Bai Cheng was slightly stunned.
Chi Yan remained standing meticulously at the control panel, focused on driving, like a statue.
In contrast, Zi Yuan had tears welling up in her eyes, looking as if she was about to cry.
"Miss, look at her!"
"Lü Duo, Lü Duo, she's advanced to Immortal, boo hoo hoo..."
Bai Cheng's face immediately lit up with wild joy upon hearing this.
"She can advance without an Immortal Heart?!"
