220: The first person to buy steamed buns

Xiao Shen was very nervous; last time, their waiting time was only one second, but this time it would take a full minute.

A minute was enough time for each of them to fantasize about what the rare ores would turn into after being refined in the microwave oven.

Bizarre, strange, whatever—this microwave oven itself was peculiar, so the things it refined might also be out of the ordinary.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound pulled everyone out of their reverie.

[Refinement complete, please retrieve.]

The microwave oven door opened automatically, and everyone rushed to look—

"It actually refined a weapon!" Wang Yi exclaimed. The rare ores that had been put in had transformed into a longbow!

Everyone else reacted with the same surprise as Wang Yi, but after the initial shock, someone began to wonder if there would be any difference between the longbow refined in the microwave oven and an ordinary longbow.

"Quick, try it out and see if it's any good!" Gu Mingzhu couldn't wait.

"Okay." Wang Yi took out the longbow, but quickly ran into a problem. "But there's only a bow here; how can I test it without arrows?"

"I have some." Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly, rummaged through her storage bag, and actually found a few arrows!

Everyone's expressions were a bit stunned.

Wang Yi asked even more confusedly, "Isn't your weapon a soft sword? Why do you carry arrows with you?"

"I always carry a lot of miscellaneous things when I go out, just in case I might need them." Gu Mingzhu handed the arrows to Wang Yi. "Quick, try out the power of this longbow! We can't have spent so many low-grade spirit stones for nothing!"

"Okay." Wang Yi was also a bit impatient.

He went to the train door, nocked an arrow on the longbow, and drew the bowstring.

"It feels good." This was Wang Yi's first reaction.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow flew out very quickly. After Wang Yi released it, in less than a breath's time, the arrow accurately struck a tree trunk about a thousand meters away on the opposite side.

The thick tree trunk was actually pierced through before the arrow fell to the ground.

As the first person to use this longbow, the surprise in Wang Yi's eyes was very evident: "The attack range of this longbow is actually so far! And I think if I hadn't aimed at that tree, its range would have been even further."

Ordinary bows only have a range of a few tens of meters, but they are still considered long-range attacks. The bows used by martial artists, without beast crystals embedded, have a maximum range of barely a hundred meters, with two hundred meters being the absolute limit.

If a beast crystal is embedded, it can increase the range by about one or two hundred meters.

If calculated in this way... then this longbow, without any beast crystals embedded, can actually achieve the attack effect of a normal longbow with two beast crystals embedded!

If they weren't still on the train, they would have already rushed over to check the extent of the tree's damage.

"If three beast crystals were embedded in this longbow... Oh my goodness, I don't even want to think about it." Liu Ling'er covered her mouth in surprise, afraid she might shriek involuntarily the next second.

Xiao Shen also hadn't expected this microwave oven to be able to refine such a high-quality longbow, and this was only the result of Wang Yi and the others putting in just a few ounces of rare ores.

If there had been more... Oh no, he also didn't dare to imagine.

"You can keep this longbow, but if a better one comes out next, you can't fight me for it!" Gu Mingzhu said with a smile.

Actively giving the longbow to Wang Yi showed her generosity, while reserving the next weapon in advance fully demonstrated her cunning.

Compared to the others here, Wang Yi naturally understood Gu Mingzhu the best, but this longbow was indeed excellent, making him reluctant to part with it: "Okay."

After testing the microwave oven's functions, Wang Yi and the others got off the train first. Xiao Shen and his companions also didn't stay long in the VIP carriage and instead went to the ordinary carriage.

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

[Please purchase a ticket upon boarding. Different carriages have different fares. This carriage is an ordinary carriage, and the fare is one hundred and eighty low-grade spirit stones.]

Xiao Shen and his two companions all took out low-grade spirit stones to buy tickets, then went to find seats to cultivate.

The fact that the microwave oven could refine weapons indeed gave them quite a shock; even with their eyes closed, this matter was hard to shake off.

If only they could also get so many rare ores... Meanwhile, in the VIP carriage, Tong Changshan, who was cultivating, heard a familiar "ding" and opened his eyes.

[Destination reached. Passengers, please alight.]

"Huh, why is no one here?" There were clearly two little brats when he got on.

However, he didn't think much of it and was ready to leave as soon as the travel time was over.

But as he walked to the train door, he suddenly remembered the new item on the menu, so he stopped.

A steamed bun for two thousand low-grade spirit stones... What effect could it possibly have?

If he didn't try it, he felt like he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

So Tong Changshan made a decisive move, took out his low-grade spirit stones: "Give me a steamed bun!"

It felt a bit like calling out to a waiter.

Lin Feng was greatly surprised, not expecting to sell the first steamed bun today.

[Alright, here is your steamed bun. Please take it.]

Lin Feng was also very curious about the steamed bun's effect. The system hadn't said, so he could only wait for a passenger to try it.

Tong Changshan took the steamed bun and held it, looking at it repeatedly.

But no matter how he looked at it, from the left or from the right, this steamed bun just looked like an ordinary steamed bun.

Nothing special.

"Since it's a steamed bun... it should be for eating, right?" Tong Changshan thought of eating the steamed bun based on train exclusive water; no problem there.

So he brought the steamed bun to his mouth, opened it, and took a bite.

Hmm, don't tell me, it was quite fragrant, and a bit sweet when chewed.

Wait, he wasn't here to taste the flavor of this steamed bun!

Swallowing the mouthful of steamed bun abruptly, Tong Changshan didn't feel any special sensation in his body, so he continued to eat.

At first, he ate in small bites, afraid of missing any changes the steamed bun might bring to him, but since he never felt anything unusual, he later began to devour it in large gulps.

The result was still no reaction.

It wasn't until Tong Changshan had finished the entire steamed bun that he realized nothing had changed.

Was he being scammed??

"Damn it." He hadn't expected that he, a dignified thief... ahem, would actually be scammed by the green train!

He spent two thousand low-grade spirit stones just to buy a steamed bun to eat as a meal.

What is a sucker? He was a sucker!

And a big sucker at that!

Tong Changshan was furious, but he couldn't do anything to the train, so he angrily got off.

He was still thinking that if he still didn't feel any reaction when he went back tonight, he wouldn't take the train tomorrow!

A few minutes later, he calmed down and thought again, no, he still had to take the train, otherwise wouldn't he be wasting the opportunity to cultivate with multiple times the spiritual energy?
