151: Fewer people are coming to grab water
The next day.
Lin Feng emerged from maintenance, the train's exterior and interior completely refreshed.
This morning, people also came to queue for train exclusive water, but there were several fewer than yesterday.
"Hey, where are that young lady who was competing with us for water yesterday and her cousin?"
Feng Zhi looked around, but although the green train had appeared, Su Duo and Zhuang Sanming were nowhere to be seen.
"Didn't you complain the other day that she was queuing in front of you? How come now that she's not here, you feel unaccustomed?" Wang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"I didn't, I was just curious." Feng Zhi spread his hands.
Ge Yunying stepped forward and said, "Not only did that pair of cousins not come, but even that person who always held a fan and tried to look profound didn't show up."
"That's right! Could it be that they've all given up on the train exclusive water?" Feng Zhi stroked his chin, unable to figure out why.
"Who cares? Isn't it better to have fewer competitors? Yesterday you were worried about not being able to buy water, but today you'll probably be able to."
"That's true."
On their other side, Xiao Shen, Liu Ling'er, and Zheng Jinfeng were also waiting for the green train to appear. Tong Changshan hadn't come, so today, only these six people would compete for the three bottles of train exclusive water on the train… Outside the Bastion, at Wang Dapeng's house.
Wang Dapeng had just bid farewell to his wife and children, preparing to go hunting in the forest, when he happened to run into Old He.
"Is that little Wang? Are you preparing to go to the forest?" Old He greeted him casually.
Wang Dapeng nodded: "Yes, are you going to the guild to collect beast crystals?"
"Yes, but beast crystals are hard to come by now. If you get good quality ones, you must come to me. My prices are absolutely fair." Old He promised solemnly.
"Alright, no problem. If I get beast crystals, I'll definitely find you first to exchange them for spirit stones."
Wang Dapeng smiled.
"Okay, then I'll wait." Old He laughed heartily and then strode towards the guild. The two parted ways at that intersection.
Wang Dapeng's eldest son had already been sent to school in the morning, and his younger son was still small, cared for by his wife, Zhao Jie.
Every time Wang Dapeng went to the forest, he carried the hopes of his entire family.
This time was no exception.
Yesterday, he accepted a simple task at the guild, planning to complete it within a week. Today he would go do it, and also find the green train to spend one hundred and fifty spirit stones to ride the train for cultivation.
Cultivating at home was simply too slow; he hadn't made any progress for several days. But on the green train, even if he only went occasionally, his cultivation could advance rapidly.
However, his talent remained so low, and he couldn't ride the train every day, so it was still difficult to increase the Qi Vortex within his body and break through to the next level.
To be honest, if it weren't for the train often appearing in the Inner Circle of the forest, Wang Dapeng wouldn't even dare to venture into the Inner Circle. After all, the lowest-level fierce beasts there were Fifth-Stage, and he was only Third-Stage… One could only say that danger and opportunity coexist. Cultivating on the train made rapid progress, but if he entered the Inner Circle and didn't encounter the train, but instead encountered fierce beasts, he might be instantly finished.
Wang Dapeng slowly walked into the outer perimeter of the forest. Sure enough, he didn't see the green train, so he continued deeper. The outer perimeter was very large with many fierce beasts. Fortunately, Fourth-Stage fierce beasts wouldn't easily come out, so he mainly encountered small, Third-Stage and below fierce beasts along the way.
At this moment, the battle for train exclusive water had already begun on Lin Feng's train.
"Hey, don't push, give me a bottle!"
"You're the one pushing! You stepped on my foot."
"Huh? I didn't step on anything, someone else must have stepped on you!"
"..."
After a fierce scramble, Wang Yi's side ultimately bought two bottles of water, while Xiao Shen's side only managed to buy one.
"Great, we got two bottles today, haha." Feng Zhi was so happy he couldn't close his mouth, not expecting them to actually get two bottles of water sometimes.
"Alright, let's go quickly. We'll go back and drink them, then come back to ride the train at noon." Ge Yunying said.
"Okay."
Their boarding time hadn't arrived yet, so they couldn't get on the train and could only go back and wait.
Xiao Shen and the others, however, stayed on the train.
[Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase a ticket to board, fare one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones.]
The train exclusive water was selling like crazy, and Lin Feng's "wallet" was getting fatter.
He checked the current progress of items sold:
[Train current Martial Enhancement Pill sales progress (4/10), Healing Pill sales progress (4/10), cultivation technique sales progress (2/4), train exclusive water sales progress (21/30).]
Only 9 bottles remained until the train exclusive water sales progress was complete.
They would sell out in three days.
However, the sales progress of other items was too slow. Lin Feng suddenly regretted not promoting the items he sold to 0827 yesterday.
That person had immediately spent high-grade spirit stones!
He wondered if he would come again next time.
Xiao Shen took out the ticket money for the three of them and suddenly said, "Are there any Healing Pills left? I'd like to buy some."
[Yes! How many do you need?]
Lin Feng was so excited; finally, the sales progress of other items could increase.
Currently, the sales progress of train exclusive water was overwhelmingly dominant.
"Give me three." Xiao Shen had earned a lot of spirit stones from taking on tasks recently, so he thought of buying one Healing Pill for each of them. This item could save lives at critical moments.
He took out another one thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones to buy the Healing Pills.
[Okay, here are your Healing Pills, please take them.]
[Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on.]
"These are for the two of you." Xiao Shen gave two of the pills to Liu Ling'er and Zheng Jinfeng.
"Thank you." Zheng Jinfeng said.
"Thank me for what? These were bought with the spirit stones we earned from doing tasks together; you're supposed to have a share." Xiao Shen said with a smile.
"No matter what, I should still say thank you."
Zheng Jinfeng knew that Xiao Shen didn't actually need to take her along for cultivation, because Chu Feiyue's death had nothing to do with Xiao Shen.
The reason he stayed to help wholeheartedly was because Liu Ling'er was there.
"Oh, sister-in-law, he's my fiancé, and we're old friends. Just accept it with peace of mind, you don't need to feel any burden." Liu Ling'er persuaded her.
"Mm." Zheng Jinfeng nodded and said nothing more.
The three then went to the seats in the back to cultivate, and the train quickly quieted down.
Lin Feng strolled leisurely, not staying in the Inner Circle but gradually moving towards the outer perimeter.
As soon as the fierce beasts in the outer perimeter saw the green train approaching, they immediately scattered in fright. And Wang Dapeng finally found the green train here.
"I want to get on!"
He quickly ran over; it was truly rare to encounter the green train in the outer perimeter.
[Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase a ticket to board, fare one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones.]
