218: Shengwudan is gone, but there is a new Shengwudan
Not to mention this New Healing Pill, even the New Upgrade Martial Pill she bought yesterday seemed incredibly novel to her.
She wondered what other novelties this train might hold?
Oh, right, the steamed bun on that menu was certainly novel.
However, since no one had yet tried the wonderful uses of the steamed bun, she didn't buy it immediately.
"Ah, I finally made it," Wang Yi also boarded the VIP carriage. He produced even more spirit stone vouchers than Gu Mingzhu. "Deposit twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones for me directly."
"Okay, twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones have been deposited into your personal account."
"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit down and hold on tight."
"Different carriages have different fares. This carriage is the VIP carriage, and the fare is two thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Wang Yi: "Just deduct it directly from the spirit stones I just deposited."
"Okay, here is your ticket. Please keep it safe."
This was their second time riding in the VIP carriage, with their numbers being VIP Area 005 and VIP Area 006, respectively.
"It's already reached number 6 so quickly?" Wang Yi was a bit surprised. It seemed not all passengers on the green train were poor.
"Besides you and me, who else has ridden in the VIP carriage?" Gu Mingzhu asked sincerely, as she knew very little about this train, and even less about its regular passengers.
Wang Yi analyzed for a moment, then said, "I think Uncle Tong should be able to ride in the VIP carriage... Hmm, Ximen Chuifeng most likely won't, and then that pair of siblings might, but I don't know about anyone else."
"There are so many people?"
Gu Mingzhu's eyes widened, her eyelashes long. Even with her eyes wide open, it didn't seem off-putting; instead, it had a special kind of cuteness.
Coupled with Gu Mingzhu's usual mischievous nature, as if everything was under her control, a faint smile always graced her face.
However, that faint smile turned into shock and surprise after she rode the green train.
It could be said that for at least twenty-nine minutes of the thirty minutes on the green train, Gu Mingzhu's expression was as if struck by lightning.
The remaining minute was spent asking Wang Yi questions.
"Hmm, let's talk about it later. First, let's sit down and cultivate." Wang Yi knew that time on the train was precious, so he strode towards the seats in the back.
Gu Mingzhu nodded and also hurried to cultivate.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng quickly scanned his current sales progress:
"New Upgrade Martial Pill sales progress (2/10), New Advancement Pill sales progress (2/10), New Healing Pill sales progress (1/10), train exclusive water sales progress (5/30), steamed bun sales progress (0/10)."
In the ordinary carriage on the other side, Feng Zhi and Ge Yunying had also begun cultivating.
One hundred eighty low-grade spirit stones for an ordinary carriage ticket only allowed fifteen minutes of cultivation at most, but upon closer thought, the VIP carriage, besides offering fifteen more minutes of cultivation time, didn't seem to have other essential necessities.
Things like an independent restroom, cushions and recliners, and the interior decoration of the carriage were not particularly needed by them.
Nor did they significantly affect their experience while riding the train.
Compared this way, it felt like the ordinary carriage also had its advantages; at least its ticket price was cheaper!
Ximen Chuifeng didn't come this morning. Currently, the Axe Gang's situation had reached a fever pitch, and he, as the one constantly relaying messages, had absolutely no time to rest, let alone come to the train to cultivate.
But Tong Changshan was different; he had plenty of free time.
So, he came again today in his usual nonchalant manner.
"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit down and hold on tight."
"Please purchase a ticket upon boarding. Different carriages have different fares. This carriage is the VIP carriage, and the fare is two thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Tong Changshan, like Gu Mingzhu, entered the VIP carriage without any hesitation.
Two thousand low-grade spirit stones were merely a drop in the bucket for him, a professional thief. Since there was an opportunity to ride the train for an additional fifteen minutes, why not?
Moreover, yesterday he almost got caught stealing someone's storage bag, and had to run several miles to shake them off.
That was close, so close! He didn't know whose divine artifact he had almost stolen. Since he started drinking train exclusive water, this was the first time he had almost failed!
Next time, he had to be more careful and not let anyone discover him again.
Tong Changshan took out spirit stones to buy a ticket, only to realize there were already two people sitting behind him.
He recognized that kid, Wang Yi, just a little brat.
But the girl sitting next to Wang Yi... he didn't recognize her. It was his first time seeing her.
"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit down and hold on tight."
Tong Changshan's ticket number was VIP Area 007. In just two days, Lin Feng had sold seven VIP area tickets, and he was quite satisfied with this speed.
It showed that the VIP carriage he designed was excellent, otherwise why would everyone be willing to ride in it?
It was evident how wise the system's decision was to let him design the VIP carriage himself.
"Do you still have train exclusive water? I want one bottle, no, two bottles." Tong Changshan urgently needed train exclusive water now to improve his thieving abilities. He absolutely couldn't get caught again next time.
He hadn't forgotten that a mercenary from the Wall had once chased him all the way onto the train, and if he hadn't been clever enough, he probably wouldn't be able to come to the train to cultivate now.
Lin Feng was about to collect the spirit stones Tong Changshan had taken out when he heard Tong Changshan say again:
"Oh, right, do you still have Martial Enhancement Pills? Give me one of those too."
"There are no more Martial Enhancement Pills."
"That's a shame..."
"But there are New Upgrade Martial Pills."
Tong Changshan: "..." When did a train learn to speak with such dramatic pauses??
Couldn't it just say everything at once!
"The New Upgrade Martial Pill is usable by Martial Artists below Level 8. After consumption, it can increase two Qi Vortices, priced at only one thousand eight hundred low-grade spirit stones."
Tong Changshan was not someone who lacked money... well, a professional thief, after all.
"Then give me one," he said.
"Okay, here is your New Upgrade Martial Pill and two bottles of train exclusive water. Please keep them safe."
After receiving his items, Tong Changshan quickly went to cultivate, not wanting to waste a single minute.
If it hadn't been for consuming several Martial Enhancement Pills he had bought at a crucial moment, he wouldn't have reached the cultivation of a Level 5 Martial Artist.
Now he was a Level 5 Martial Artist with three Qi Vortices. After consuming this New Upgrade Martial Pill, he would gain two more Qi Vortices.
Moreover, he had discovered that the Ascension elixirs he had stolen from other places in the past would have side effects after consumption, such as making it difficult to increase cultivation if the Martial Artist's foundation wasn't consolidated. However, the Martial Enhancement Pills bought on the train had no such worries.
No matter how many he consumed, it wouldn't affect his cultivation.
Nor would his foundation become unstable or his performance be hindered due to consuming too many pills.
What he lacked now was only more practical combat experience; everything else was the same as a Martial Artist who cultivated purely without consuming pills.
