[Top-Grade! A Golden Legendary Employee Card!]

[You have gained 1 distributable attribute point!]

A flash of golden light erupted, and all the white cards in Bai Cheng’s hand transformed into a single shimmering golden employee card.

The front of the card was nearly identical to the time when Bai Cheng had summoned Chi Yan. It was a large golden question mark, with no specific details about the employee’s traits.

[Name: Employee Card (Unknown)]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Evaluation: A random legendary creature will accompany you on your legendary journey.]

"Even the description is the same." Bai Cheng felt no novelty toward it and decisively chose to use it.

The golden card disintegrated into powder, scattering like starlight across the ground before slowly coalescing into a humanoid figure.

However, this silhouette was completely different from the last one. It was neither tall nor imposing, nor did it display an exaggerated physique.

Compared to Chi Yan’s nearly two-meter-tall frame, the second employee appeared much slimmer.

As the light gradually dimmed, the figure solidified further.

Bai Cheng was startled to realize that the other person was about the same height as her.

She frowned slightly. "A girl?"

"Honorable Train Conductor, this subordinate has answered your summons."

A clear, melodious female voice suddenly rang out. Then, Bai Cheng saw the figure kneel on one knee the moment her form fully materialized.

She immediately looked down and saw a young girl with long, purple-pink gradient hair kneeling before her.

The girl’s smooth, pale back was completely exposed, with only a narrow chest wrap as the sole covering for her upper body.

On the ground beside her was an exquisite longsword with a purple sheath, which seemed to be her weapon.

Bai Cheng was somewhat surprised.

Employees can bring their own weapons?

Due to the girl’s kneeling posture and lowered head, Bai Cheng couldn’t see more details.

"Stand up. There’s no need for such formality," Bai Cheng said, steadying her voice.

The girl slowly rose.

Although they were of similar height, the girl kept her gaze lowered deferentially.

Even so, Bai Cheng could still see her flawless, delicate face and strikingly vivid blue eyes.

My second employee is actually a beautiful girl!

The girl’s lower half was clad in loose, dark purple loose cuff pants, which was the most covered part of her entire outfit.

As for her feet, they were completely bare.

After thoroughly examining her new employee, Bai Cheng still couldn’t discern anything unusual from her outward appearance.

She looked no different from an ordinary human girl.

But after her experience with Chi Yan, Bai Cheng certainly didn’t believe that this girl was just some average person.

Besides, employees were recruited from local creatures. There are no humans here, so how could she have recruited one?

[Employee: Nameless (You may name her)]

[Race: Demon Spirit Race]

[Level: Elite Rank 1 (0%)]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Spirit Weapon & Rank: Ming Yuan (Common Rank)]

[Trait 1: Sword Grandmaster – Possesses masterful swordsmanship and physical prowess far surpassing peers.]

[Trait 2: Spirit Severing – The spirit weapon will evolve with each breakthrough. Its slashes can harm both flesh and soul.]

[Trait 3: Combat Expertise – Born for battle. Gains insights through combat, growing stronger the longer the fight lasts.]

After reading the girl’s information, Bai Cheng had a rough understanding, but some parts still puzzled her.

It seems that her race naturally comes with a spirit weapon, which might be considered as part of her body.

However, compared to Chi Yan’s three traits, these seemed somewhat underwhelming.

There was no mention of special abilities, let alone attack power bonuses. There was only a vague description of growing stronger through combat.

Judging solely by the information, the girl seemed like an ordinary person who had trained hard to become strong.

But Bai Cheng refused to believe that she was just some unremarkable vase.

Her gaze fell on the girl’s exquisite purple longsword, its sheath was engraved with a soaring hawk.

Then she looked at the girl’s predominantly purple attire and spoke.

"From now on, your name will be Zi Yuan."

"Thank you for bestowing me a name, Honorable Train Conductor." Zi Yuan replied coolly.

Bai Cheng then turned toward the train door.

In the past hour, the area around the train had remained relatively safe, and the wraiths hadn’t returned. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Chi Yan still remained vigilant, standing guard at the boundary where the mist encroached.

"Go. Clear out the surrounding wraiths and gather as much EXP as possible."

As Bai Cheng issued the order, Chi Yan glanced back at his new colleague.

"The Demon Spirit Race... What a rare race." A flicker of surprise passed through his eyes.

But Zi Yuan ignored him. She strode past him, drew her blade, and charged straight into the mist.

Soon after, Bai Cheng saw faint purple sword flashes flickering within the fog. At the same time, notifications popped up on the screen one after another.

"The wraiths’ nest must be close." Bai Cheng withdrew her gaze. She could barely see anything through the mist.

As for Chi Yan, since Zi Yuan was handling the enemies, he remained behind to guard the train and Bai Cheng.

"Chi Yan, is there anything special about the Demon Spirit Race?"

Bai Cheng’s voice came from behind. She had already allocated her attribute point and was now holding the Book of Cheng, having selected the water generator as her next upgrade target.

[Water Generator: 0/1]

Its upgrade path was to produce fresh water, making it another time-consuming item.

Hearing her question, Chi Yan turned around and explained, no longer as tense as before.

"Young Lady, the Demon Spirit Race is few in number, but each one is a warrior blessed by the heavens. Unless you overpower them completely, defeating them is nearly impossible, and you might not even escape alive."

"Are you saying that..." Bai Cheng rubbed her chin. "Unless there’s a Rank gap, they’re basically invincible?"

Chi Yan frowned. Although he was reluctant to admit it: "In a one-on-one fight... at the same rank, there’s almost no chance of victory."

Hearing such high praise from Chi Yan, Bai Cheng suddenly understood.

But before she could speak again, she felt a warm surge in her abdomen, as if something had collided with her, before spreading throughout her body in a wave of exhilaration.

She knew exactly what this meant.

"Level up!"

Bai Cheng immediately stood, intending to return to the train to check. However, the mist stirred, and Zi Yuan walked back calmly, sword in hand.

And in her other hand...

There was a treasure chest emitting a blue glow!
