280: Steamed buns are no longer a slow-selling commodity

“Aunt, they definitely aren't here for anything good. I don't want them to come in.” Zhuang Sanming didn't beat around the bush and said this directly to Mother Su in front of Zhuang Siwei's family.

Mother Su nodded and went back inside.

If it were before, she might have let them in to sit for a while to maintain some semblance of decency between relatives, but now that Su Duo was gone, what use was decency to her?

“Hey, hey, relatives, why aren't you opening the door for us?”

“Open the door quickly, we've brought gifts to visit!”

“...”

Zhuang Sanming also went back inside, completely ignoring them.

The three people standing outside the door fell silent simultaneously.

After a short while, they turned and walked away.

“It's all your fault! Last time I told you to come and probe Zhuang Sanming, but you messed things up. Look, now they won't even open the door for us!”

Father Zhuang cursed loudly.

Zhuang Siwei cowered, but still said defiantly, “But I didn't really do anything last time…”

“You still dare to talk back?” Father Zhuang slapped him.

This time, Zhuang Siwei dared not talk back.

“Now that they won't open the door, what should we do?” Mother Zhuang's face was filled with worry.

“They can't keep the door closed forever; they'll have to go out eventually. We'll just wait here and guard the door. The moment they open it and come out, we'll rush in!” Father Zhuang said.

What they had to say had to be said in front of Father Su and Mother Su, otherwise, it would be useless.

Moreover, as long as they settled things with Father Su and Mother Su, Zhuang Sanming's opinion wouldn't matter at all.

Father Zhuang looked up at the quiet house of the Su Family in the distance, a covetous expression on his face.

This house should have been his!

...Outside the 155 Fortress, in the Ferocious Beast Forest.

Ximen Chuifeng once again rode the train with Xiao Shen and the others, still in the VIP carriage.

[Destination reached. Passengers, please alight.]

All four gathered together, but didn't rush to leave upon seeing the message.

“Did you bring rare ores?” Ximen Chuifeng asked.

“Yes, quite a lot,” Xiao Shen nodded, then asked in return, “Did you bring beast crystals?”

“Yes, quite a lot,” Ximen Chuifeng said.

“Good, then let's buy a steamed bun and try it out.”

The group went to the train door, where there was a menu and a microwave.

Ximen Chuifeng generously said, “Give me a steamed bun.”

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

It seemed that steamed bun would soon no longer be an unsalable item.

Through the memories of Xiao Shen and Ximen Chuifeng over the past few days, and their discussions on the train, Lin Feng already knew what they had done and what they planned to do next.

Xiong Mao successfully took over as The Axe Gang Leader, and Xiao Shen and his group played no small part in that.

Each of them received a large sum of money, otherwise, how could they afford to ride in the VIP carriage every day?

The steamed bun sold on the train played a very important role in that battle; one could even say it was a “steamed bun” that decided the outcome.

That's why Xiao Shen and his group wanted to buy steamed bun.

However... they brought rare ores, beast crystals, and still wanted to buy steamed bun; could it be that they intended to...

“Crap, I forgot that steamed bun are soft when first bought!”

Ximen Chuifeng held the steamed bun with a wry smile, feeling as if his plan was almost complete, only to realize that the crucial element had arrived too early.

Originally, they planned to put the steamed bun along with the rare ores and beast crystals into the microwave to see what kind of weapon they could produce, but they forgot that steamed bun needed to be purchased a day in advance.

“Perhaps putting a freshly bought steamed bun in would be the same?” Liu Ling'er questioned.

Ximen Chuifeng, however, shook his head and said, “Judging from the fact that Tong Changshan showed no abnormalities after eating the steamed bun, freshly bought steamed bun are just ordinary steamed bun.”

Otherwise, the steamed bun Tong Changshan ate would have turned into kidney stones in his body by now.

“Then we can only wait until tomorrow,” Liu Ling'er said with some regret.

“Tomorrow it is then. Anyway, Wang Yi and the others won't immediately depart for the 97th Stronghold after their competition today; they'll have to wait a day or two,” Xiao Shen said.

“Alright,” Ximen Chuifeng thought to himself that this was truly a major blunder on his part. As an intelligence dealer, he actually forgot such an important matter!

No, after he goes back, he must write “steamed bun must be bought in advance” one hundred times, no, two hundred times!

“I've bought all four bottles of train exclusive water.” Whether it was to save face or for some other reason, Ximen Chuifeng bought four bottles of water at once.

[Alright, here is your train exclusive water. Please take it.]

“Then let's go.”

“Okay.”

After they left, Lin Feng checked his sales progress:

[New Upgrade Martial Pill sales progress (10/10), New Advancement Pill sales progress (6/10), New Healing Pill sales progress (10/10), train exclusive water sales progress (28/30), steamed bun sales progress (5/10).]

Not bad, the sales progress for train exclusive water was also nearing completion.

Just as he was pondering, Little Ice Fox arrived.

It jumped directly onto the VIP carriage, looking like a big spender, and said, “Woof woof. (Give me another New Advancement Pill.)”

As it spoke, it shook its body a few times, and over a dozen beast crystals fell out from its fluffy fur.

Lin Feng was just lamenting the slow sales of the New Advancement Pill, and then Little Ice Fox gave him a surprise.

Lin Feng checked the spirit stones that could be exchanged for these beast crystals and found that Little Ice Fox truly lived up to its reputation as a Fourth-Order ferocious beast; the quality of these beast crystals was much higher than usual!

There were six Third-Order beast crystals, and in addition, there were even two Fourth-Order beast crystals!

It truly is you, Little Ice Fox.

An existence that is unrivaled among its peers in this forest, and can even challenge those of higher orders!

No wonder Little Ice Fox dared to run around the Inner Circle of the forest even before reaching the Fourth Order.

Its strength is truly amazing!

[Alright, here is your New Advancement Pill. Please take it.]

In a flash, the New Advancement Pill sales progress became (7/10).

Only three more were needed to sell out.

Little Ice Fox said, “Woof woof woof, woof woof woof woof. (Deposit the rest, it should be enough for another VIP carriage ride next time.)”

[Alright, deposited.]

Little Ice Fox was the first to deposit spirit stones on the train, so whenever it got beast crystals, it would come and deposit some.

Anyway, it basically rides the train every day; as long as the train doesn't fall apart, it will want to ride it.

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

After deducting the ticket fare from the spirit stones Little Ice Fox deposited, it went to the back seats to cultivate.

Although Little Ice Fox was only a few months old, perhaps ferocious beasts experience more than humans and mature earlier.

Lin Feng calculated that while the Snow Shadow Ice Fox species possessed powerful talent (innate talent), their lifespan was not as long as ordinary ferocious beasts, with an average age of only thirty.

This meant that by the time Little Ice Fox was seven or eight years old, it would be equivalent to a human adult.
