104: The train's exclusive water sales are limited to three bottles per day.
After consuming the Advancement Pill, the Crimson Flame Ant was already a third-tier fierce beast.
But as soon as it emerged, the Crimson Flame Ant was surprised to find its mind incredibly clear, and even… its bloodline seemed to have become purer!
The Crimson Flame Ant's ancient ancestor was the primeval fierce beast Zhuo Yin. Zhuo Yin was originally a fire dragon, but through various crossbreedings, generation after generation, by the time it reached the Crimson Flame Ant, Zhuo Yin's bloodline had withered to almost nothing, and it had even transformed from a dragon into an ant.
Of course, it was an ant that was not quite like a normal ant.
And now, the bloodline within the Crimson Flame Ant's body had almost reached the level of its great-great-great-grandfather, meaning its bloodline had been sublimated.
If its previous bloodline was 0.0001% of the Zhuo Yin bloodline, then now, it was 0.1%.
Although still very little, the difference was already significant.
One must know that there were not many fierce beasts in the entire apocalypse that still retained the bloodline of ancient divine beasts.
The reason Ximen Chuifeng chose to contract with the Crimson Flame Ant, besides it being an ant-type fierce beast, was precisely because he saw this point.
Impure bloodline didn't matter; as long as there was even a trace, it could still provide a significant advantage in battle.
At that time, Ximen Chuifeng had also found a loophole; otherwise, it would have been very difficult to contract the Crimson Flame Ant.
"I feel especially energetic now, filled with strength," Ximen Chuifeng said with a joyful expression, a smile on his face as he spoke. "Can you all see what's in the grass over there?"
He pointed in a direction.
"What grass? I don't see any grass where you're pointing," Su Duo walked a few steps closer but still couldn't see anything.
Zhuang Sanming and Xiong Mao also looked in that direction, both saying they didn't see any grass.
Zhuang Sanming was a bit puzzled; his eyesight was already considered very good, but he truly couldn't see the grass Ximen Chuifeng was talking about.
"Ah, you all can't see it?" Ximen Chuifeng showed a startled expression, then gestured with his hand to indicate the distance, realizing that the grass he spoke of was at least two kilometers away.
"It's a bit far; I couldn't see it before either, but now I see it very clearly," Ximen Chuifeng said.
"My goodness, this water can even improve eyesight?" Su Duo exclaimed in surprise.
Ximen Chuifeng shook his head: "It's not that simple."
He could feel many changes occurring within his body, but he couldn't quite articulate them at the moment.
"I'll let the Crimson Flame Ant demonstrate it for you all to see."
The reason Ximen Chuifeng summoned the Crimson Flame Ant was that he felt after drinking that bottle of water, not only did his own body undergo changes, but even his contracted fierce beast also had many differences from before.
The Crimson Flame Ant nodded, then activated the spiritual energy within its body. With a "boom," the tall tree in front of them was instantly destroyed, not even having time to fall before turning directly into ashes.
"This is... a talent skill??" Zhuang Sanming's eyes widened.
"No," Ximen Chuifeng shook his head and said, "Below the tenth tier, fierce beasts cannot comprehend talent skills. This is just its normal attack; it has only become much stronger with the water's enhancement."
The Crimson Flame Ant's own attack power was very weak; its strength lay in intelligence gathering.
But with this water, its attack power had actually become so much stronger than before!
This truly filled Ximen Chuifeng with pleasant surprise.
He didn't know if they could understand his explanation, but in short, after drinking the water, many things within his body became unobstructed.
Even the spiritual energy he absorbed from the spiritual qi had become much more solidified.
And these changes were even better demonstrated on the Crimson Flame Ant.
"So many benefits? Then I'll go buy a bottle too!"
Xiong Mao's heart was stirred upon hearing this, so he quickly ran after the train: "Hey, wait, wait, let me buy a bottle of water before you leave!"
Su Duo, behind him, said somewhat bewilderedly: "Didn't he already give us all his spirit stones? Does he still have spirit stones to buy water?"
Zhuang Sanming: "..." It seems so.
So they followed and saw Xiong Mao being thrown off the train.
"Damn it, I forgot I didn't bring money," Xiong Mao cursed as he returned.
Su Duo covered her mouth and secretly laughed, but she also felt the water's effect was excellent, so she tugged on Zhuang Sanming's sleeve and said, "Cousin, why don't we buy a bottle too? No, buy two bottles, let's both try the effect."
Zhuang Sanming pondered for a moment, thought it was feasible, and nodded: "Okay, let's go catch up too."
The green train's speed was now much faster than the tin train's, but they could still catch up by running with their primal energy.
"Stop, we want to buy water!"
Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo went up, with Xiong Mao and Ximen Chuifeng following behind.
Ximen Chuifeng was currently holding his small notebook, recording on it. The Crimson Flame Ant had already been recalled by him.
"train exclusive water, effect: can eliminate fatigue, solidify spiritual energy..."
Ximen Chuifeng said as he recorded in his notebook.
This notebook of his was densely filled with all the information he had found; he had dozens of such notebooks.
Because he remembered things clearly, whenever someone asked him about people or objects, he could quickly flip through his notebooks to find them.
The two of them also followed to the train door but did not board.
By this time, the train had stopped. After Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo boarded, they immediately got straight to the point: "Do you still have train exclusive water? We want two bottles!"
Two bottles of water cost a total of one thousand four hundred low-grade spirit stones, but at this moment, they no longer cared about the money. They also wanted to try water with such good effects!
However, before they could finish their excitement, Lin Feng displayed a message that instantly plunged them into despair:
【train exclusive water is limited to three bottles per day. Please come again tomorrow.】
Su Duo: !!!
"How can this be? They even have a purchase limit!" Su Duo said with a look of annoyance, "They even use this kind of marketing tactic. This train is truly, truly annoying!"
Zhuang Sanming was also very disappointed, but he didn't react as strongly: "Alright, since it's sold out, we'll come back tomorrow to buy it."
Upon seeing this scene, Ximen Chuifeng again took out his small notebook and recorded under the train's entry: Very good at marketing, hunger marketing.
To be honest, Ximen Chuifeng hadn't expected a train to be even better at business than him, an information peddler.
If he became famous in the future, the most powerful information peddler in the ten-mile radius, could he also implement some purchase limits?
For example, only taking one order a week or something similar.
He truly hadn't expected to learn these things from the green train.
"Let's go, we can't buy water today," Zhuang Sanming said disappointedly.
Xiong Mao, being thick-skinned, still felt he hadn't lost anything: "Oh, so it means whether I brought spirit stones or not, I can't buy water today. Then let's come back tomorrow to buy it."
Ximen Chuifeng said with a smile: "You guys, you still don't have my foresight. Otherwise, it might not be me drinking this bottle of water right now, but one of you."
At that time, he had only seen two fewer bottles of water on the table, so he quickly realized that someone must have already bought water... PS: This chapter is over two thousand words.
