99: How did it become 150 per ticket?

"Boss Bao, what should we do now? Should we go in?"

The younger brothers behind him were all waiting for Bao Hui's command.

Their ranks were not high; there were very few Grade 4s, mostly Grade 2s and Grade 3s, and the Grade 1s were just there to fill out the numbers and were useless in critical moments.

With their lineup, they would certainly be fine in the outer perimeter, but if they entered the Inner Circle... with so many people, the risk of exposure was too great, and they could easily be attacked by a horde of fierce beasts.

But what if Xiong Mao and the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley both escaped into the Inner Circle? If they didn't go in, wouldn't they fail to catch them?

Bao Hui thought for a moment, looked at the deep dense forest in front of him, and finally decided: "We'll guard here. Everyone extinguish your torches, don't provoke the fierce beasts in the outer perimeter. Station people at every exit; if they come out, we'll definitely discover them."

There was no time to consider more possibilities; Bao Hui decided to guard here and wait until dawn tomorrow.

"Yes!"

The Old Gang Leader also sent people to search other places; Bao Hui was mainly responsible for this forest area.

If Xiong Mao and his group really entered the Inner Circle of the forest, then... Bao Hui narrowed his eyes, revealing a sinister smile.

Those who entered the Inner Circle would only have two outcomes: one, to become a meal for high-grade fierce beasts, or two, to run out and be caught by him!

Tong Changshan felt that these people were not to be trifled with, so he bypassed them, left the forest, and departed.

Taking a vehicle was a must, but since he couldn't find one now, he would have to come back tomorrow.

With his back to those people, Tong Changshan walked out, weighing the item he held in his right hand.

It was the storage bag hanging from the waist of the gang member who had just asked him if he had seen Xiong Mao and the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley.

It was quite heavy, but he wondered if there was anything valuable inside.

Tong Changshan left, but Bao Hui prepared to guard here for the night.

The fierce beasts in the outer perimeter were only up to Grade 4, which he could handle. Besides, with so many people here, even Grade 4 fierce beasts probably wouldn't dare to approach casually.

So, regarding safety, Bao Hui was not particularly worried.

He was worried that Xiong Mao and the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley had not run into the forest, which would make their guarding here a joke.

However, it was fine; the Old Gang Leader had also sent others to search elsewhere, so if they were found elsewhere, it wouldn't matter if they didn't find them.

The night passed quietly.

"Boss Bao, no one has come out yet, what should we do?"

The younger brothers took turns on night watch, finally enduring until dawn. With the fierce beasts about to become active, they came to ask Bao Hui for instructions.

Bao Hui also knew that they couldn't continue guarding here. The Axe Gang still had many matters waiting for him to handle, and the fierce beasts were all awake and might be displeased with humans.

"Pack up, let's go back," Bao Hui said.

"Yes!"

The brothers were all happy; after guarding all night, their eyes were bloodshot.

Bao Hui led them out of the forest and back to the Axe Gang, only to discover that Xiong Mao was actually at the Axe Gang!

"Xiong Mao, how could you appear here?!"

Bao Hui and the group of younger brothers behind him were shocked to see Xiong Mao casually appearing in the Axe Gang.

Xiong Mao, however, looked innocent: "What's wrong? I'm the Third Elder of the Axe Gang; isn't it normal for me to appear at the Axe Gang?"

Bao Hui frowned deeply, said nothing, and walked straight to the main hall.

He wanted to see if the Old Gang Leader would deal with this matter.

...To get on a vehicle, Tong Changshan had truly gone to great lengths. Since he couldn't find a vehicle at night, he came early in the morning today to look.

He wondered if those people guarding the outer perimeter of the forest yesterday had left. Such a large group of people there truly made one a bit apprehensive.

Entering the forest, Tong Changshan found that the people who had been guarding there yesterday were all gone, and it was very quiet.

And he finally saw the green train not long after entering the outer perimeter.

"Wait, wait, let me on!"

This vehicle was one he had painstakingly found; he absolutely had to take it today.

Lin Feng was a little surprised to see that it was Tong Changshan chasing after him.

Hadn't this guy been scared by his sudden upgrade before?

Why did he dare to come again today?

Lin Feng slowed down, and Tong Changshan immediately got on the vehicle after catching up.

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

Tong Changshan: ???

It only cost one hundred and twenty when he rode it last time, so why was it one hundred and fifty today?

Last time... he had only ridden half of the green train, he supposed.

Despite his confusion, Tong Changshan knew that the vehicle's authority was inviolable, so he took out the storage bag he had "borrowed" from Bao Hui's younger brother last night, poured out one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones, and bought the ticket.

【Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on.】

Tong Changshan poured out everything in the storage bag and found that after buying the ticket, there were still over a hundred low-grade spirit stones left, plus some scattered potions and such. There was quite a bit of profit, it seemed.

It looked like this guy was living quite comfortably.

Tong Changshan hadn't been in the 155 Fortress area for long and didn't know that those people last night were from the Axe Gang. He only vaguely guessed that they probably belonged to the same gang.

Anyway, they didn't look like good people, so he wouldn't feel any guilt about taking something from them.

Tong Changshan put all these things away again, then carefully observed the interior decoration of the vehicle.

Last time, he had only taken a quick glance and ran off without daring to look closely. Thinking about it now, it was really foolish.

It was just that the vehicle had undergone some changes. He had been a thief for so long; what outrageous things hadn't he seen?

The space inside the vehicle was much larger than the previous tin train, and there were four more seats. The material had changed to soft cushions, making it much more comfortable to sit on.

"Train exclusive?" As Tong Changshan looked around, he noticed a small table next to the door. On the table were three bottles of train exclusive water and a menu.

The bottles of bottled train exclusive water had four large characters written on them: Train Exclusive.

So he went over and opened the menu, only to find that there was only one option: train exclusive water, and next to it was the price of one bottle of train exclusive water... seven hundred spirit stones?!

"What kind of train exclusive water dares to sell for so much?"

Tong Changshan, a professional thief who often spent other people's money, was shocked that a bottle of train exclusive water could sell for seven hundred spirit stones.

And this menu was too strange, wasn't it? With only one item on it, did it really need a menu?

It felt like a redundant effort.

【In addition to train exclusive water, this vehicle has also added Martial Enhancement Pill, Healing Pill, and four Tier 3 Cultivation Methods.】

Tong Changshan had previously bought many Martial Enhancement Pills and Healing Pills from Lin Feng and then resold them on the black market.
