69: Why don't you two play by the rules?
Su Duo joyfully followed along. Su Duo's mother had received a bonus, so Su Duo had more pocket money and didn't feel bad about paying for the ticket today.
"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase your ticket upon boarding. The fare is one hundred twenty low-grade spirit stones."
"Here you go, keep the change!"
Su Duo grandly took out the spirit stones.
Lin Feng counted them; it was exactly one hundred twenty spirit stones. The tire vibrated slightly; there was no change to give back anyway.
Zhuang Sanming also smiled helplessly and took out the ticket money he had prepared: "This is mine."
"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on."
It said 'sit', but after Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo boarded, there were a total of five people on the train, yet only four seats.
At this moment, Wang Yi and his two companions were immersed in their cultivation. Feng Zhi certainly wouldn't give up his seat; his cultivation time was extremely precious. Ge Yunying also wouldn't yield to people she wasn't familiar with.
Zhuang Sanming was already preparing to sit on the floor: "You go sit. I'll just find a place to sit anywhere."
However, Su Duo didn't nod immediately. Instead, she blinked her big eyes, walked over to Wang Yi, and said with a smile, "Hello, young man, my name is Su Duo. May I ask your name?"
Zhuang Sanming: ???
Don't casually tell strangers your real name!
Su Duo's idea was very simple; she naturally enjoyed making friends, and Wang Yi was so handsome, so she naturally wanted to get to know him.
Moreover, she had a very good impression of this train. At this point, Su Duo was no longer the little girl who had complained about the expensive ticket; now she believed that any passenger on this train was a good person, with no bad people.
Because she and her cousin were good people.
Therefore, everyone else taking the train was also a good person, no problem.
If Zhuang Sanming knew what she was thinking, he would be utterly speechless.
Just because this train is good doesn't mean everyone on it is good!
Zhuang Sanming thought Wang Yi would definitely ignore her, but after hearing what Su Duo said, Wang Yi actually opened his eyes.
"Hello, my name is Wang Yi. It's a pleasure to meet you." Wang Yi returned her smile.
Zhuang Sanming: ???
Why are both of you acting so unexpectedly?
Feng Zhi also really wanted to roll his eyes. This Wang Yi, didn't he see that Ge Yunying was also here? If he dared to give up his seat, Ge Yunying would definitely misunderstand.
"Do you two not have seats?" Wang Yi looked behind him; there was only one empty seat left.
Feng Zhi: See, see, what did I tell you? He's definitely going to give up his seat to them.
"It's fine, it's fine. I can sit on the floor." Zhuang Sanming said hurriedly.
Money is easy to repay, but favors are not. Besides, it was just not having a seat; his backside wasn't that precious.
Su Duo also refused: "It's fine, I can sit on the floor with my cousin."
Zhuang Sanming looked at Su Duo in surprise, seemingly not having expected her to say that.
However, Su Duo didn't end the conversation there, but asked again: "Little Brother Wang, how old are you this year?"
"Just turned twenty." Wang Yi was also quite a talkative person, and he believed that anyone who could come to this train must have something extraordinary about them.
More friends mean more opportunities; there's nothing wrong with that.
"Wow, then you're three years older than me. I just turned seventeen this year," Su Duo said.
Zhuang Sanming pulled her back: "Alright, alright, he still needs to cultivate, and we should cultivate too."
With Zhuang Sanming's interruption, the two stopped chatting. On this train, cultivation was indeed a hundred times more important than chatting.
Although Su Duo said she would sit on the floor with Zhuang Sanming, Zhuang Sanming didn't let her. He directly pressed her into a seat.
"You sit here and cultivate. I'll watch over you from the side," Zhuang Sanming said.
"Okay." Su Duo nodded.
The vehicle drove steadily along the perimeter. Because of A-Hu's previous challenge, it was much quieter here now. As soon as those fierce beasts saw the tin train appear, they would quickly find a place to hide.
They were afraid that the train wouldn't watch the road and would 'bang' into them, sending them flying.
If Lin Feng knew what they were thinking, he would definitely cry foul. He would only teach a lesson to those who tried to provoke him and the fierce beasts; he wouldn't just crash into anyone.
He was a civilized person, okay?
"Wait, wait, we want to get on the train!"
As Lin Feng drove, he encountered acquaintances again.
Only this time it looked a bit comical, because the people asking him to wait were that mercenary team led by Hao Xing.
It was a tale of woe. That kid Tong Changshan wasn't very strong, but he was good at escaping. Just as they were about to drag Tong Changshan to submit the mission, the guy ran off.
They searched all day and couldn't find him.
But they were unwilling to just leave like that, so they decided to take the train again to at least absorb some more spiritual energy, so their trip wouldn't be in vain.
"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase your ticket upon boarding. The fare is one hundred twenty low-grade spirit stones."
No matter who boarded, Lin Feng welcomed them. After all, he had to earn ticket money, and it would be even better if he could also sell those two Advancement Pills.
"Do you need to buy elixirs? Only two Advancement Pills are left in stock, each costing only two thousand low-grade spirit stones. Fierce beasts below the third rank can directly advance one rank after consumption. Buying is earning!"
"Advancement Pill?"
Hao Xing frowned. None of them were Beast Tamers, so the Advancement Pill wasn't of much help to them.
"Let's buy tickets first. Six hundred spirit stones, for the five of us." Hao Xing took out the spirit stones. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child; when it's time to spend money, you have to spend it.
"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on."
Suddenly, five people boarded, but all four seats were already taken.
"Boss, what should we do?"
Someone among the mercenaries asked.
Hao Xing looked at the four people sitting in the seats, then fixed his gaze on Feng Zhi.
No other reason, just because this person looked easier to bully.
Feng Zhi: ???
"Hey, you, give up your seat."
Hao Xing didn't waste words and got straight to the point.
Feng Zhi initially didn't know what was going on until he suddenly felt the atmosphere on the train was a bit off. Only then did he open his eyes.
Standing in front of him were five burly men in mercenary uniforms.
Oh no, he was in trouble.
"Uh, I, what do you want to do?" Feng Zhi was a bit flustered. With so many people, he couldn't fight them!
"Nothing much, just want you to give up a seat for our boss to sit in," one of the mercenaries said, glaring fiercely at Feng Zhi.
"Oh."
Feng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there was going to be a fight, but it was just about giving up a seat.
