The final offensive of this desert shrine was ostensibly going to last an hour.

In reality, after Bai Cheng and two other Guardian Level personnel took turns to act, the War General-level beasts from eight directions were successfully slain, and this Station mission was declared completely over.

For the other three, this mission might have been quite difficult, but for Bai Cheng, it was a piece of cake.

“Congratulations on successfully guarding the shrine core!”

The next second, a rhomboid crystal shimmering with orange-gold light simultaneously appeared in the hands of the four individuals at the four crossroads.

“Is this the shrine core, a replica?” Yu Nian took it from Bai Cheng’s hand to examine it, her curiosity piqued.

The three also returned to the shrine along the passage.

And here, Wang Bian was still apologizing to Zi Yuan with a fawning smile.

Of course, it was less an apology and more an attempt to distance himself.

“Miss, this guy and I don’t know each other at all. I think he’s probably got some problems in his head...”

Saying that, he again punched and kicked the subordinate lying on the ground.

Although the rules stated that Survivors could not harm each other, this restriction clearly did not include harming one’s own people.

Wang Bian was also trembling with fear at this moment.

The young lady in front of him was a Guardian Level! What kind of joke was it to try and mess with her?

He wasn't crazy yet!

Zi Yuan, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows, then stroked her chin as if in deep thought: “I don’t think this guy has any problem...”

“Ah?” Wang Bian was puzzled.

Zi Yuan’s tone shifted: “I think you believe I have problems in my head, don’t you?”

Saying he didn’t know her, did he really think I was stupid?

Wang Bian was shocked, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat, and quickly begged for mercy: “This is all a misunderstanding, boss, I really don’t know anything...”

“Oh? Was it intentional or accidental?” Zi Yuan raised her eyebrows.

“It was...” Wang Bian didn’t finish his sentence when he saw three young girls walk out from a side passage, and Zi Yuan’s attention was also diverted.

“Oh, Miss is here.” Zi Yuan quickly tilted her head and greeted her.

Then she relayed what had just happened, word for word. Although she didn't exaggerate, she did indicate that these guys were dissatisfied with waiting an extra three hours and had harbored thoughts of taking action.

“Why is he kneeling now?” Yu Nian sneered at the sight.

Zi Yuan tilted her head and spread her hands.

“Sisters, this really is just a misunderstanding. How could I have such guts...” By now, it was useless for Wang Bian to deny it. He immediately confessed and shifted all the blame to his subordinate.

“It was all his bad idea. After we leave the Station, I will definitely kill him to apologize to all of you!”

The subordinate, who was lying on the ground, seriously injured and feigning death, was so scared that he wet himself upon hearing this, but he dared not utter another word.

Bai Cheng just waved her hand: “Never mind, but...” With that, she rubbed her fingers together with a smile.

Wang Bian was overjoyed: “I understand, I understand!”

Then he immediately turned and instructed another subordinate: “Go to the train and bring all our magic crystals!”

“All?”

Wang Bian glared at him and roared, “Hurry up!”

At this moment, he only hoped his subordinate would be smart enough to bring one or two hundred magic crystals to satisfy the other party and prevent further investigation.

Anyway, they didn't know how many magic crystals were actually on his train.

“And I really like this thing too!” Bai Cheng then shook the shrine core replica in her hand.

Wang Bian looked as if he had eaten dirt, but he had no choice but to hand it over.

And this scene was just witnessed by two other people who walked out of the passage. The chubby young man named Lin Shu quickly looked at his subordinate and warned in a low voice: “Shut up, if anyone dares to say another word, I’ll cripple him!”

Compared to Wang Bian, Lin Shu seemed much smarter.

He knew that this Station mission was only safely completed thanks to the young lady in front of him; otherwise, whether he could even be standing here now was an unknown.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that Wang Bian’s idiotic subordinate hadn't revealed their previous discussion, or they would have been finished.

Then Lin Shu stepped forward proactively and greeted Bai Cheng: “Thank you, Miss, for your help!”

With that, he unhesitatingly presented the shrine core in his hand: “Miss is truly my savior. This item rightfully belongs to you.”

“Eh?” Bai Cheng looked back upon hearing this, and her first glance caught sight of the familiar young man standing silently and indifferently to the side.

“Ye Liangchen, what a coincidence?”

Bai Cheng’s words made Wang Bian and Lin Shu both freeze.

Wait, so you two actually know each other, huh?!

At this moment, the two exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of surprise in the other's eyes.

Bai Cheng was surprised that the two routes Ye Liangchen guarded were easily resolved without her help, while Ye Liangchen was surprised by Bai Cheng's strength, which had improved as if on a rocket.

“This thing doesn’t seem very useful. Do you want it?” Ye Liangchen, seeing what had happened between her and Wang Bian, held out the core.

“No need, you keep it.” Bai Cheng waved her hand.

At this point, Wang Bian was internally screaming.

No, then why did you want mine!!!

And at this moment, Bai Cheng, who had reacted, took the core from Lin Shu, who was standing awkwardly to the side.

“Oh, thank you.”

Lin Shu’s mouth twitched. He exchanged a glance with Wang Bian, and at this moment, a surge of resentment rose in both their eyes.

Of course, they dared not resent Bai Cheng, so they could only target Ye Liangchen.

It must be him, he deliberately wanted to trick us and prevent us from getting the reward!

He already knew her, he must have tipped her off!

This hateful guy, we'll make him pay after we leave the Station!

“Um, beautiful Miss, can we leave now?” Lin Shu tentatively asked.

However, Bai Cheng wasn't actually paying attention to him, and casually replied, “Oh, whatever.”

The latter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly fled the Station.

Wang Bian’s subordinate also returned quickly. He was carrying a box made of platinum ingots. Yu Nian curiously went up and opened it, only to find that it contained a full seven hundred magic crystals!

“We’re rich!”

Wang Bian was even more despondent at the sight, and even Bai Cheng’s faint “Let’s go” that reached his ears elicited no response.

He was like a walking corpse. Just before the mechanical door closed, Bai Cheng and the other two even heard his roar.

“Are you f***ing crazy?!”

“Just take a hundred magic crystals # Nоvеlight # as a token, who the hell told you to bring the whole box?!!!”

Bai Cheng, however, smiled and raised her eyebrows.

“How strange. Why are people still voluntarily giving away magic crystals these days?”

“Let’s go too.”
