Early this morning, everyone finished breakfast and stood on the balcony, chatting and relaxing as usual.
"It's all blindingly white everywhere; I feel like I'm going to get snow blindness." Yu Nian sighed, casually plucked a tomato growing in the adjacent flowerbed, and took a bite.
Although everyone had been living very # Nоvеlight # easily and comfortably these past few days, there was virtually no scenery to speak of.
Boundless, dry, and boring.
However, this wasn't the first ti they had encountered such terrain; the previous Naless Sea and Death Desert were equally dull places.
"Alright, alright, just bear with it a little longer," Bai Cheng comforted. "At the next Station, we'll be able to enter the core area of this world. I'm sure it won't be like the outside world anymore."
Listening to their conversation, Leng Ningxue, standing nearby, was staring blankly at the sea of clouds.
"Tell ... will our journey ever end?"
At her words, the two others were montarily stunned.
The carefree Yu Nian had never considered this question, while Bai Cheng had long suspected another possibility.
Just before she could speak, Purple Iris suddenly arrived on the top floor.
"Miss, there is an activity update ssage on the screen."
"Oh?" Hearing this, the three turned their heads almost simultaneously. Abandoning their plan to continue relaxing, they imdiately headed to the cockpit.
"Has the activity ended?" Bai Cheng imdiately beca interested and hurried to check.
But contrary to expectations, the pursuit activity was not over, as the system had previously stated that this chase would continue indefinitely.
The reason the ssage suddenly popped up was that the ranking announcent had concluded, and Bai Cheng, as the number one leader, would receive a unique Special Reward.
【The Kill Special Channel Leaderboard is closed. Congratulations on achieving the number one rank on the leaderboard!】
【You will receive an exclusive reward, and you may freely select its category (divided into Item Class, Facility or Technology Class, Ability Enhancent Class). Do you wish to select imdiately?】
Looking at the prompt before her, Bai Cheng couldn't help but freeze.
"I can choose the type myself?" Saying this, she looked toward Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue, trying to solicit their opinions.
Yu Nian imdiately pointed at the Item Class and said, "We definitely can't choose that. Xiao Cheng, your talent can upgrade Legendary Items, so this would be completely useless."
Leng Ningxue also nodded, "Facilities are probably so kind of special building, and technology is self-evident. As for Ability Enhancent..."
Leng Ningxue then looked toward the Employees, and subsequently t Bai Cheng's gaze again.
The aning conveyed in that look was naturally self-evident.
All of Bai Cheng's current Employees are Immortal-grade in quality; each one, taken individually, possesses abilities that can be considered top-tier.
Looking at it this way, the cost-effectiveness of an Ability Enhancent Class reward didn't seem very high either.
Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Then it looks like we don't have much choice?"
After speaking, she decisively chose the Facility or Technology Class reward.
Yu Nian, standing beside her, imdiately clasped her hands together and began praying: "Mama Mimi Hong, bring us sothing great!"
【Congratulations! You have obtained the 【Drive Rail Upgrade System】!】
"What is this?" Yu Nian was greatly alard. "The most useless technology!"
"What kind of drive upgrade does a rail even need?!"
At this, her heart completely sank. "Is this what they call a Special Reward..."
Bai Cheng didn't speak; she just silently clicked on it to view the specific introduction of this technological upgrade.
【Technology Na: Drive Rail Upgrade System】
【Quality: Immortal】
【Description: The upgraded rail allows the train core to freely control its generation without any restrictions. You will automatically be able to control the train's direction of movent!】
【Evaluation: What?!】
"What?!" the three exclaid in unison.
They simply couldn't believe their eyes.
This ant that with this technology, their train would be able to travel freely without any restrictions!
"Are you kidding !"
This was the technology that almost—no, that all Survivors dread of!
"We can go wherever we want!"
More importantly, this Immortal-grade technology didn't require any cost to install and upgrade.
Bai Cheng was overjoyed and, without the slightest hesitation, decisively chose to upgrade the technology.
The next second, no one felt any change in the train.
However, a control stick capable of steering the train suddenly appeared in front of the control panel.
From now on, their train would no longer be an ordinary train; it would be a Special train capable of controlling its direction and soaring across the vast world!
Bai Cheng naturally wanted to see the effect imdiately, so she decisively gave an order to Lan Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu!"
Lan Xiaoyu nodded silently and decisively pushed the new lever.
Although the train had been updated, it was no problem at all for her, who was proficient in chanics.
Following Lan Xiaoyu's operation, the rail that had always been automatically generated in front of the train indeed changed direction, beginning to shift to the left.
She tried operating it further and found that the rail could twist and generate left and right without hindrance, allowing the train to execute turns.
However, since this was still a train, the curvature of the rail wouldn't be too sharp. This ant that although the train could now turn, the turning radius was very large and could not be completed instantly.
But in comparison, the ability to control the train's direction of movent was already good enough for Bai Cheng.
After so experintation, Lan Xiaoyu also reached a conclusion.
"Miss, the rail cannot be generated up or down; turning is limited to a near-flat plane..."
"It can't go down?" Yu Nian frowned. "I thought we would be able to drive directly onto the ground."
Hearing this, Bai Cheng found it easy to understand.
"It seems the reason our train is suspended and traveling high up is due to the influence of the Cloud Heaven Sea terrain."
In other words, once the train leaves this area, it will return to traveling on the ground; the ability to "float" itself was not inherent to the train.
But it didn't matter. Bai Cheng believed that this would definitely not be a constraint on them in the future.
"How much distance is left until #8 Platform?"
Leng Ningxue glanced at the detection Station next to her and replied, "Less than three thousand kiloters."
Bai Cheng nodded, "It looks like it's ti for us to stop the train and await the arrival of the final Ten Thousand Frequency Hegemony Tournant."
"Hmph, it's all because of this pursuit activity," Yu Nian complained. "Those leaders are also so disappointing!"
"Otherwise, the required number of participants for the competition would have been gathered long ago. Why would we need to stop here and waste ti!"
"Oh well, it's fine. Just treat it as collecting fuel."
The scenery outside the window gradually stopped moving, and the train began to slow down slowly until it ca to a complete halt.
Over the next two and a half days, everyone spent their ti peacefully on the train.
Until this morning, when a ssage finally popped up on the screen...
