198: One more carriage

“Let me see.” Ge Yunying stepped forward a few paces.

They were all old passengers on the train, having seen the train change its appearance, and even the seats inside had been added little by little; there weren't eight seats before.

“It seems… the train has gotten longer.” Ge Yunying squinted, trying to see more clearly, but it was too far to make out, so she simply ran forward, “No, it’s an extra carriage!”

“What?!”

Wang Yi and Feng Zhi both widened their eyes, looking ahead. They knew the train might change, but they didn't expect it to suddenly have an extra carriage!

“Oh my, it’s actually true, let’s hurry over and see!”

All four were very excited, especially Gu Mingzhu. She had just ridden the green train yesterday, and today the green train had an extra carriage, which she just happened to catch.

Someone else might not have been so lucky!

The four of them rushed to the green train, but once there, they found themselves in a predicament.

Because the green train now had two carriages, they didn't know which door to enter through.

Finally, the three of them, with a tacit understanding, all looked at Wang Yi.

“Why are you all looking at me? This second carriage is also my first time seeing it,” Wang Yi said, pointing to his nose, then shrugging his hands helplessly.

“You are the leader of our team. You decide which carriage is best for us to board,” Gu Mingzhu said without thinking.

“Ah? Do I look like a leader?” Wang Yi had never noticed this.

But Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi paused to think, and realized it seemed to be true.

Wang Yi was a Beast Tamer, strong, and very gentle with people. He rarely lost his temper with others; at least, the two of them had never seen Wang Yi lose his temper with anyone so far. Good temper, strong tolerance—weren't these all the characteristics and temperament a leader should possess?

So, they both said in unison: “Yes.”

“Cough cough.” Wang Yi almost choked on himself, but since everyone had nominated him to make the choice, he couldn't decline further. “I think why don’t we just board the first carriage first? See what’s different from before, and then we can discuss.”

“Alright.”

“Okay.”

“Then let's get on quickly!”

Several people eagerly boarded through the door of the first carriage, wanting to see what changes the green train had undergone with an extra carriage.

[Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on.]

[Upon boarding, you can choose a carriage. Different carriages have different ticket prices. The ticket price for this carriage is one hundred eighty low-grade spirit stones.]

“Different ticket prices?” Wang Yi was the first to board, and naturally the first to see these subtitles.

“Quick, quick, let me see what changes are inside the train this time.” Feng Zhi couldn't wait. He quickly craned his neck to look inside, but it seemed there were no other changes except for a somewhat strange microwave oven next to the table.

“This…”

Not only Feng Zhi, but Wang Yi and Ge Yunying also felt very puzzled.

“It seems there’s no change, just an extra microwave oven, and the ticket price has increased by thirty spirit stones,” Ge Yunying wondered.

But Gu Mingzhu immediately pointed to the two lines of subtitles floating in the air and said, “Since different carriages have different ticket prices, then the carriage behind must be different from this one. Let’s go, let’s take a look.”

With that, she turned and got off the train.

Wang Yi and the other two thought it made sense, so they followed her down and walked towards the second carriage.

The four of them entered the second carriage one after another.

“Why aren’t you moving, go forward, otherwise I can’t get on.” Wang Yi, who was at the back, urged Feng Zhi, who had jumped onto the train door and was standing there motionless.

“You, you see for yourself…” Feng Zhi pointed inside the carriage, stuttering a little.

“See what?”

Wang Yi was initially a bit confused, but when Feng Zhi moved aside to let him in, he too immediately opened his mouth wide.

“My heavens, this?!”

This was indeed a different carriage!!

The decoration and layout inside were too different from the first carriage. The only similarity should be the menu on the table and the microwave oven placed next to the table.

Other than that, it was completely different!

There was currently one person sitting inside. Wang Yi looked closely and realized it was their former fellow passenger, Tong Changshan.

It turned out that the four of them were not the first to arrive in this carriage.

[Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. This carriage is a VIP carriage, with a ticket price of two thousand low-grade spirit stones.]

[Passengers in this carriage can enjoy an additional fifteen minutes of travel time, and a daily increase of one train exclusive water purchase limit, plus more features to discover once seated!]

Wang Yi and the other three were dumbfounded after reading these two subtitles.

There was actually a VIP carriage?!

“No wonder the subtitles in that carriage just now said different tickets, different prices; so that’s what it meant.” Feng Zhi’s eyes were wide with amazement. A VIP carriage truly lived up to its name; it was indeed a place only the wealthy could afford.

He could only come to broaden his horizons, but if he were to spend two thousand spirit stones to ride a VIP carriage once, he would regret it for a whole year.

“This carriage is good, I want to buy a ticket.” Gu Mingzhu didn’t hesitate at all and immediately took out her spirit stone voucher.

She never lacked spirit stones, and riding in this carriage allowed her to ride for an extra fifteen minutes. Don't underestimate the difference of these fifteen minutes; it's fifteen minutes a day, what about ten days?

It adds up over time.

[Alright, here’s your ticket, please take it.]

[Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on.]

Another VIP ticket sold, Lin Feng was delighted.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the ticket in her hand, which read:

[VIP Area Passenger Name: Gu Mingzhu

Travel Time: Apocalypse Year 308, July

Number: VIP Area No. 002]

Gu Mingzhu understood. Since she was No. 002, then the person sitting inside, currently cultivating, must be No. 001.

Not bad, also someone with a discerning eye.

“Then we…”

Wang Yi hesitated a bit. He certainly had two thousand spirit stones and wouldn't feel bad about buying a ticket, but Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi… “It’s fine, we’ll go sit in the front carriage, you sit here. When the time comes, we’ll wait for you behind the train.” Ge Yunying was always straightforward. Seeing Wang Yi’s dilemma, she said.

“Yes, yes, we’ll go ahead.” Feng Zhi said, and without giving himself a chance to regret, he jumped down directly.

Ge Yunying followed closely behind.

With both of them gone, Wang Yi had no choice but to take out his spirit stones: “Alright then, I’ll buy a ticket for the VIP carriage.”

[Alright, here’s your ticket, please take it. The spirit stones you deposited on the train are still valid and can be used for deduction next time.]

[Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on.]
