232: Ximen Chuifeng: I want all the new Shengwudan!
Xiao Shen and the other two were very confused. Among them, Xiao Shen had the deepest connection with Ximen Chuifeng, but Xiao Shen believed that their relationship was merely one of employer and employee, not even friends.
Yet, Ximen Chuifeng walked directly towards Xiao Shen and said something that would shock Xiao Shen for an entire day... Outside the 155 Fortress, on the outskirts of the Ferocious Beast Forest.
"Hurry up, keep up!"
It was almost nine o'clock. Gu Mingzhu was walking briskly at the front of the team, turning back to urge Wang Yi and the others.
"That's fast enough. Any faster and we'd have to use a Jade Talisman." Wang Yi said with a wry smile. Ever since she rode the green train, this girl had become unstoppable, more proactive than them every day.
Wang Yi had actually woken up very early this morning, but his master called him to talk for a while, and by the time he came out, he had missed the time he should have boarded the train.
It must be said that Gu Mingzhu was truly considerate. She didn't rush off by herself but waited for Wang Yi and the others to gather before heading to the forest together.
After spending these days together, Wang Yi gradually let down his guard around Gu Mingzhu, thinking that she had been very well-behaved these past few days, not doing anything out of line, so she must have changed her ways.
She must have... right?
"It looks like there's someone ahead," Ge Yunying suddenly said, pointing in a direction.
Wang Yi quickly looked and saw that there were indeed people walking towards them: "It looks like... Xiao Shen and his group?"
Gu Mingzhu, who was walking at the very front, also spotted Xiao Shen, thinking, "I searched high and low but found nothing, yet it came to me without any effort."
So she quickly stepped forward, ran to Xiao Shen, and said to him, "How about a spar?"
Xiao Shen was a bit bewildered, mainly because he hadn't expected this girl to suddenly run up and ask to spar with him.
But before he could respond, Gu Mingzhu made her move.
Xiao Shen had no choice but to engage. Powerful Yuan Power gathered in his palm. Although his rank was not high, his talent was extremely strong. Even if Gu Mingzhu caught him by surprise, he could quickly counterattack.
"Bang!"
The sound of their Yuan Power colliding erupted, and Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but take half a step back before stabilizing herself.
There was no discouragement in her eyes; instead, she became even more excited.
"You've indeed recovered your strength." Gu Mingzhu didn't continue attacking. Just from that one strike, she had tested Xiao Shen's current strength.
Four words: unfathomably deep.
Xiao Shen was also surprised by Gu Mingzhu's strength: "Your level is already this high?"
The first time he saw Gu Mingzhu, she was only a level four martial artist.
"Everyone makes progress." Gu Mingzhu's face again showed an irrepressible smile. "Next time we have a chance, let's have a proper spar. I'm rushing to catch a train. See you later."
Xiao Shen: "..."
Sure enough, Gu Mingzhu was always inexplicable, both in the past and now.
When Gu Mingzhu suddenly attacked Xiao Shen, Liu Ling'er almost jumped up to stop her, but she suddenly remembered that Liu Ling'er had given her a tael of rare ore last time... Forget it, forget it. For martial artists, sparring is common. Anyway, neither of them was injured, so why should she worry so much?
The saying "he who eats another's food is beholden to him, he who takes another's hand is soft" truly never goes out of style.
"Sorry, Xiao Shen. She's just like that. Even I can't control her."
Wang Yi walked forward apologetically. Although he couldn't restrain Gu Mingzhu's personal behavior, Gu Mingzhu was, after all, a member of their team. Wang Yi was their jointly elected leader and still needed to bear some responsibility for Gu Mingzhu's actions.
"It's okay, it's a minor thing." Xiao Shen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Wang Yi nodded, said a polite word, and was about to leave.
"Wait."
Wang Yi was already preparing to head into the Inner Circle, but Xiao Shen suddenly turned back and called out to him.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yi turned his head.
"We just used the microwave oven again. Besides rare ores, we also put in some beast crystals," Xiao Shen said.
Last time, Wang Yi and Gu Mingzhu refined weapons without hiding it from Xiao Shen. This time, Xiao Shen refined a nuclear weapon, so he naturally wouldn't keep it a secret either.
Resource sharing and information sharing are prerequisites for forming friendships in certain situations.
"beast crystals?" Wang Yi subconsciously repeated the two words, then suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "Can the microwave oven refine nuclear weapons?"
"Mm." Xiao Shen nodded, mysteriously pulled him aside, and then whispered, "Do you know someone named Ximen Chuifeng?"
Wang Yi: ?
"I don't know him." Wang Yi was very confused. Should he know him?
Xiao Shen paused, then said, "Then do you know the Axe Gang?"
Wang Yi was a bit embarrassed.
Xiao Shen understood without waiting for his answer; he didn't know the Axe Gang either.
Xiao Shen: "..."
"Um, do I have to know?" Wang Yi usually didn't pay much attention to organizations or powers. If it weren't for taking the train so often lately, he would truly be like someone who hears nothing of the world outside.
Xiao Shen pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps, you really should know now..."
...[Destination reached. Passengers, please alight.]
Ximen Chuifeng's first experience in the VIP carriage ended just like that.
He slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the exquisite decor of the VIP carriage.
What he stepped on was no longer ordinary flooring, but a thick layer of wool carpet.
No wonder it cost two thousand low-grade spirit stones; this VIP carriage was truly comfortable to sit in.
He almost didn't want to leave.
So this is what it feels like to be rich?
No wonder they all say spending money is addictive!!
Unfortunately, the money he held now wasn't his own.
Ximen Chuifeng stood up from his seat and came to the door. At this point, there was not a single bottle of water left on the table, and the menu was neatly placed there, looking a bit lonely.
But luckily, the microwave oven was there to accompany it.
Just as Lin Feng thought Ximen Chuifeng was going to use the microwave oven's refining function, Ximen Chuifeng suddenly turned around and said to the air in the carriage, "How many New Upgrade Martial Pills are left? I'll take them all."
Lin Feng: !!!
What, what?
He wants all the New Upgrade Martial Pills?
If Lin Feng himself didn't have the Eye of Truth, he would definitely suspect that the Ximen Chuifeng who came aboard today was an imposter.
Mainly because this guy was usually extremely stingy, so for him to suddenly say he wanted to buy all the remaining New Upgrade Martial Pills on the train couldn't help but surprise him.
After the surprise, Lin Feng quickly checked his inventory and then sent the text:
[Eight New Upgrade Martial Pills remain in stock, totaling fourteen thousand four hundred low-grade spirit stones. How would you like to pay?]
"There are still so many?" Ximen Chuifeng clearly hadn't expected the green train to have so much in stock and was instantly embarrassed. "Ahem, well, I'll just buy four for now."
