35: Hit-and-run? New passenger

"Of course I need to prepare! I keep hearing you all talk about how dangerous the Ferocious Beast Forest is. As a weak woman, shouldn't I prepare some life-saving items?" Zheng Jinfeng said as a matter of course, while organizing things she might need.

Liu Ling'er craned her neck to look, her mouth twitching slightly, because the items Zheng Jinfeng was putting into her bag included a mask, a face mask, a wig, and even a night suit...

"Sister-in-law, it seems like there's no need to bring these things, right?" Liu Ling'er couldn't help but speak up.

"Of course there is! I must disguise myself well. Otherwise, what if I encounter bad people and they remember my appearance? Also, a dark and windy night is good for business. That's when the night suit will come in handy..."

The more Zheng Jinfeng spoke, the more Liu Ling'er's mouth twitched.

She looked at Chu Feiyue and found that he seemed to agree with Zheng Jinfeng's actions and words: "Hmm, my wife is right. But you don't need to carry the bag. Put everything into my storage pouch; it'll be convenient to access anytime, and you won't have to carry it."

"Alright," Zheng Jinfeng readily agreed.

Liu Ling'er: "..."

Is this the secret to harmonious coexistence between husband and wife?

Then, in the future, she and Xiao Shen... Xiao Shen hasn't even been found yet; it's too early to think about these things.

Liu Ling'er shook her head, shaking off these strange thoughts, and then walked into her room. She had been walking outside all day and was quite tired; she needed a good rest...

Because he couldn't advance to level three without selling all the pills, Lin Feng was feeling very frustrated.

He even wondered if it was because he had too few passengers now; those who wanted to buy had already bought, and those without money couldn't afford them, which was why he couldn't sell all his pills?

So, Lin Feng decided to travel further tonight to see if he could encounter some new passengers.

The Ferocious Beast Forest at night was not quiet; the nocturnal ferocious beasts were exceptionally active.

The tin train rattled through the forest. Those ferocious beasts that had encountered him before quickly moved out of the way. Of course, there were also some who hadn't seen the tin train and, after attacking, tasted the sensation of being flung far away.

Not encountering anyone in the outer circle, Lin Feng headed towards the Inner Circle. He refused to believe that in such a vast Ferocious Beast Forest, he couldn't find a few new passengers.

Upon reaching the Inner Circle, Lin Feng encountered even more ferocious beasts. Aside from some fifth-tier ferocious beasts he had previously intimidated, the higher-tier ferocious beasts were all very curious about him.

However, the ferocious beasts in the Inner Circle were clearly much more cautious than those in the outer circle. Seeing the tin train appear, they didn't immediately attack but observed from the side.

Only after confirming that the tin train would not pose a threat to their lives did some ferocious beasts slowly approach.

A seventh-tier ferocious beast came.

But Lin Feng didn't care at all. The current tin train was no longer the original covered carriage. Whoever dared to crash into it, he would deal with them.

What if it was a seventh-tier? His defense level was ordinary 2.

So, under the gaze of many ferocious beasts, the moment that seventh-tier ferocious beast touched the tin train, it was blasted away by the golden light emanating from the vehicle, tracing a beautiful arc in the sky.

All the ferocious beasts: !!!

Can't mess with it, can't mess with it, run quickly.

Lin Feng smugly swayed the vehicle. What a joke, a tiny seventh-tier ferocious beast, trying to crash into him?

However, he got carried away and didn't notice a person suddenly running out in front. That person seemed to be pursued, so he kept looking back while running and also didn't notice a vehicle coming towards him.

And so... it was unclear whether the person hit the vehicle or the vehicle hit the person, but in any case, the person in front of him rolled his eyes and fainted in front of the vehicle.

Lin Feng: !!!

He hit someone??

Damn it, if he ran now, would it count as a hit-and-run?

Wait, this isn't a society governed by law, so it's fine.

It just so happened that he was short of new passengers, so Lin Feng thought for a moment and simply tossed the person onto the vehicle.

He was still unconscious, so he would wait until he woke up to ask for spirit stones. Anyway, once on the vehicle, one had to buy a ticket. Not even the King of Heaven could break this rule.

What? You say you didn't get on by yourself?

How is that possible? You ran onto the vehicle yourself; I saw it clearly!

Buy a ticket, you must buy a ticket. Fare evasion is a shameful act.

After throwing the unconscious person onto the vehicle, Lin Feng continued driving as if nothing had happened.

Soon, he saw several people wearing armor; they seemed to be looking for something.

"Where did he go?"

"I clearly saw him heading this way, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"What is that in front of us?"

"Holy crap, it looks like a vehicle!"

As they got closer, they saw clearly that a gleaming tin train was heading towards them. Two large headlights illuminated the path ahead.

The four armored mercenaries looked at the vehicle and simultaneously swallowed their saliva.

"Captain, have you ever heard of a vehicle driving in the Ferocious Beast Forest? And in the Inner Circle?"

"Never heard of it."

"But now there's a tin train appearing right in front of us."

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Their captain was very tall and looked very reassuring. Faced with such a strange situation, as the captain, he naturally had to be at the forefront.

The captain walked towards the vehicle, and the remaining three quickly followed.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a vehicle; it's not like we've never ridden in one before." The captain tried to comfort them, but his words precisely hit a nerve.

"But Captain, we've never seen a vehicle that can drive in the forest..."

"Yeah, and it's late at night; it's a bit scary."

"Captain, how about we retreat? If we don't catch the person, at most we'll just have some money deducted. I don't want to lose my life."

His words reminded the captain. The captain suddenly stopped and turned back to them, saying, "You're right. Our job is to catch someone, not to look at a vehicle. Let's go, bypass this vehicle, and continue chasing the person."

Everyone: ? It seems, it appears, there's some truth to that?

In short, they all listened to the captain, bypassed the tin train, and went to another place to catch people.

Lin Feng was not surprised, because even if all four of them got on the vehicle, it didn't matter. Once on his vehicle, they had to follow his rules, and he had the right to decide who to throw off.

Lin Feng drove leisurely for a few minutes before the person inside the vehicle finally woke up.

"Hiss... Where am I?" Tong Changshan covered his head and got up. Seeing the surroundings, his head hurt even more.

Since he was awake, Lin Feng didn't waste any time and directly lit up the subtitles:

"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase a ticket upon boarding. The fare is one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones."

Tong Changshan: ???

What, what, he just got on the vehicle? And he had to spend one hundred and twenty spirit stones to buy a ticket?
