45: Chapter 45 Fang Wenqian

When the morning sun once again shone through the window into the bedroom, Tang Mo had already set off on the road to Fengtan City.

The teleportation station in Fengtan City was clearly not as large as the one in Jiangkou City.

As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, Tang Mo was crowded by the people waiting at the station, making it impossible to move.

The station's loudspeakers were blaring announcements incessantly.

"Attention! Attention! Several professional thieves have infiltrated this station. Passengers, please take care of your personal belongings!"

"Attention! Attention! Several professional thieves have infiltrated this station. Passengers, please take care of your personal belongings!"

...

Tang Mo was a bit speechless. Although he had long known that during the class awakening, some people would awaken rather unreliable classes,

there were also frequent reports online,

saying that a top student with excellent grades and character from some middle school had awakened as a Professional Con Artist.

And so on; there were plenty of such people.

But this was the first time Tang Mo had truly felt the existence of these classes.

A faint fragrance wafted through the air.

Tang Mo looked up, and a long ponytail immediately caught his eye.

The jet-black, straight ponytail hung down to her waist. Although she wore a brown trench coat, it couldn't hide her graceful figure.

It wasn't just Tang Mo; the surrounding men also glanced in that direction from time to time.

The woman with the long ponytail didn't care, just standing there and slowly moving forward with the crowd.

Just then, a withered hand slowly reached out from the crowd, heading straight for the ponytail woman's trench coat pocket.

Tang Mo couldn't help but think, who still carries things on them these days?

To his surprise, the thief actually managed to pull a thick wallet out of the trench coat pocket.

The wallet had a novel design, but it wasn't something commonly seen anymore.

Just as the thief thought he had succeeded and was about to pull back and leave,

Tang Mo pushed through the crowd and grabbed the hand.

A shifty-looking middle-aged man in the crowd glared at Tang Mo with a sinister gaze.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you pushing? Isn't everyone queuing?"

Someone in the crowd who had been pushed by Tang Mo grumbled in dissatisfaction.

But after seeing Tang Mo's actions clearly, they suddenly understood.

"Holy crap! It's a thief! Everyone, check if you've lost anything."

This caused a stir as people around them fearfully backed away from Tang Mo and the thief, afraid of getting into trouble.

Fang Wenqian also turned her head along with the crowd and happened to see her wallet being held in someone's hand.

She understood instantly, snatched her wallet back fiercely, and kicked the thief right between the legs.

Hit in the groin, the thief immediately collapsed to the ground, curled into a ball. He couldn't even manage a proper howl of pain, only able to let out soft whimpers.

Hiss—!

Every man present sucked in a breath of cold air and instinctively squeezed their legs together.

Tang Mo was also startled by this sudden kick.

This woman is really ruthless!

Fang Wenqian turned and gave Tang Mo a playful smile, waving her wallet.

"Um, thank you."

The corners of Tang Mo's mouth twitched into a stiff smile as he responded to Fang Wenqian.

The military soon arrived and took the thief away.

Peace was quickly restored to the teleportation station.

Walking out of the station, Tang Mo hailed a taxi.

"Driver, to the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm."

"Driver, to Leize Hall."

Just as Tang Mo opened the car door, Fang Wenqian had already slipped inside.

Both of them announced their destinations almost simultaneously.

Hearing that Tang Mo was going to the Poison Thunder Marsh, Fang Wenqian looked surprised.

"Eh? You're going to Leize Hall too? We can go together then."

"Leize Hall?"

"Yeah. Aren't you going to the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm? The secret realm is inside Leize Hall. You didn't know?"

Well, Tang Mo admitted he hadn't actually checked the location of the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm; he had been busy hunting fierce beasts.

Besides, he could have just asked anyone and found out.

Meeting Tang Mo, who was also heading to the secret realm, Fang Wenqian suddenly became quite talkative.

"Driver, let me tell you, the two of us are carpooling, so you can only charge one fare. Otherwise, I'll file a complaint against you."

Hearing the guest mention a complaint, the driver nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, young lady, I'm not that kind of person."

"Charging two fares for one trip? What kind of person would do such a thing?"

Fang Wenqian chuckled.

"Hmph, I'm watching."

The driver was left speechless.

Fang Wenqian leaned her head close to Tang Mo's ear and whispered,

"My best friend told me that the taxis in Fengtan City are all rip-offs!"

"By the way, let's introduce ourselves. I'm Fang Wenqian. And you?"

"Tang Mo."

Perhaps seeing that Tang Mo wasn't much of a talker, Fang Wenqian directly suggested,

"Actually, I feel like it's fate that we both chose this car at the same time."

"Since we're both going into the secret realm anyway, why don't we team up?"

Tang Mo didn't say anything but silently held up one finger.

Fang Wenqian was confused. "What does that mean?"

"One Secret Realm Key of the same type, and I'll carry you through the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm."

Tang Mo deliberately asked for a random high price to make Fang Wenqian back off.

He had no intention of carrying anyone through the secret realm.

To his surprise, Fang Wenqian agreed immediately upon hearing Tang Mo's words.

Fang Wenqian's reaction left Tang Mo a bit bewildered.

"Listen carefully, I'm asking for a Secret Realm Key of the same type."

"Don't worry, as long as you can carry me through this Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm, any Secret Realm Key won't be a problem."

Seeing that Fang Wenqian didn't look like she was lying, Tang Mo suddenly regretted not asking for two Secret Realm Keys just now.

Meanwhile, Fang Wenqian was already ecstatic inside. She had been forced by her family to come to the secret realm.

After learning about the difficulty of the secret realm, she had been feeling miserable.

But fortunately, teaming up was allowed. She could just find a reliable teammate to carry her, and then she'd be able to report back to her family.

She hadn't expected to run into someone who could carry her through the secret realm; how could she not be excited?

Fang Wenqian didn't doubt Tang Mo's claim that he could carry her through the secret realm at all.

After all, the reward would only be given after clearing the secret realm. Even if they quit halfway, Fang Wenqian wouldn't have to pay.

Given the high difficulty and great danger of the secret realm, she believed no one would dare to joke with their own life.

This was also an important reason why Fang Wenqian trusted Tang Mo.

Since he had already given his word, he had to see it through even if it pained him. Tang Mo felt like he had played himself.

The driver had been listening to their conversation.

As a native of Fengtan City, he knew just how terrifying the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm was.

Hearing that Tang Mo could actually carry someone through the secret realm, he was also greatly shocked.

He immediately abandoned his plan to overcharge the two of them for the fare.

Damn, someone this fierce is not to be trifled with.

The car soon arrived at the main entrance of Leize Hall.

Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian got out of the car together.

"Hello, the fare is 50 gold coins. Which of you will pay?"

Fang Wenqian narrowed her eyes and glanced at the taxi's meter.

"Did you tamper with the meter? 50 gold coins? Such a perfectly round number?"

The driver quickly swore that he had definitely not touched the meter.

"Hmph! I've memorized your license plate number. If the fare isn't 50 gold coins when I head back, just you wait for a complaint!"
