292: Give me two bottles of mustard greens.
Before, he was worried about the safety of Father Su and Mother Su, but now it's different; the news of him officially joining the Axe Gang will soon spread throughout the entire Guild.
By then, no one will dare to disrespect Father Su and Mother Su again.
People are just like that, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Father Su and Mother Su ultimately decided to stay in the Guild; they had lived there for many years, developed an attachment, and were unwilling to leave.
Zhuang Sanming, however, followed Xiong Mao and Wen Hui to the Axe Gang.
Xiong Mao greatly admired Zhuang Sanming and, after consulting him, gave him the position of Hall Master. Tao Erbao and his group were placed under Zhuang Sanming's command.
Just as Zhuang Sanming expected, the news of him joining the Axe Gang spread throughout the Guild's streets and alleys within a day. Zhuang Siwei's family no longer dared to covet the Su Family's house, and the neighbors no longer dared to trouble Father Su and Mother Su.
Those colleagues who had been the most boisterous in the Mall were now as silent as mutes, not daring to utter a single word.
Father Su and Mother Su did not go to the rare ore sales position; they were accustomed to their original posts.
The Guild Master, however, was very puzzled after hearing that Zhuang Sanming had abandoned the rare ore sales position.
Although the Axe Gang was good, how could it compare to the vast influence of the Guild?
This Zhuang Sanming truly didn't know what was good for him.
That being said, the Master couldn't possibly ask someone to call Zhuang Sanming back again, so he could only let it go... The next day.
Outside the 155 Fortress, in the Ferocious Beast Forest.
Lin Feng had already leveled up to five, and there were more items on the menu, though he wondered who would be the first to purchase this pickled mustard tuber with side effects.
Around eight in the morning, Lin Feng emerged from maintenance mode and unexpectedly encountered passengers very quickly.
And they were regulars.
"Wait, we want to get on!"
Zhuang Sanming, Wen Hui, and Xiong Mao had all arrived.
Originally, Wen Hui wanted to stay and manage things at the Axe Gang, but she couldn't resist the allure of the green train. She had only ridden the train for the first time yesterday and found it especially novel, so she had to come again today.
Now with Zhuang Sanming's addition, the Axe Gang could finally see some results, and it was believed that before long, the Axe Gang's scale would expand even further.
【Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on.】
【Please purchase tickets to board. Different carriages have different ticket prices.】
"Three tickets for the VIP carriage," Wen Hui said generously, taking out spirit stone vouchers.
Zhuang Sanming hadn't felt the sensation of being rich in a long time. How was it that he seemed to thrive after joining the Axe Gang?
Zhuang Sanming's rise to power was very swift. With Xiong Mao and Wen Hui's support, as well as loyal followers like Tao Erbao, even if some in the Axe Gang were displeased with him, they dared not show it.
【Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on.】
Lin Feng's train body didn't change much with this upgrade; only two more seats were added inside the carriage.
Such small changes usually wouldn't attract too much attention. After Xiong Mao and the other two bought their tickets, they quickly went to cultivate.
Especially Wen Hui; she had only just experienced the benefits of the green train yesterday. How could such abundant spiritual energy be wasted?
Not a single second could be wasted!
And Zhuang Sanming hadn't ridden the green train in a very long time. Ever since he infiltrated the Axe Gang's selection base, he hadn't returned to the Ferocious Beast Forest.
Now, cultivating on the train again felt quite novel.
After the thirty minutes of cultivation time ended, Xiong Mao and the other two came to the train door.
"I haven't ridden the train in so long, the menu should have new items, right?"
He opened the menu on the table and found that there really were new items.
"What is this? Pickled mustard tuber?"
Seeing the pickled mustard tuber item, all three of them were stunned.
"And this disposable train station sign... How long has it been since I rode the train? Why have things changed so much?" Zhuang Sanming was so surprised his mouth almost couldn't close.
Xiong Mao said helplessly, "Actually, I'm also seeing these two items for the first time. They weren't on the menu when I came yesterday."
"Yes, although I don't know what was there before, I certainly didn't see these two items when I rode the train yesterday," Wen Hui was equally surprised.
"Then, from the looks of it... they must have just been added."
Zhuang Sanming swallowed his saliva. Since they were new products, they were naturally good things.
This was a conclusion he had drawn from riding the train so many times: everything produced by the train was a high-quality product.
Before, he didn't buy some things not because he thought they were bad, but because he didn't have money.
A single penny can stump a hero. Zhuang Sanming used to rely on taking Guild missions to earn more money, plus the pocket money Father Su and Mother Su gave him... Alas, it was a pity he didn't buy more Healing Pills back then!
But thinking about that now was useless.
The menu listed the price of the pickled mustard tuber, sold by the bottle, at five thousand low-grade spirit stones per bottle.
The price was a bit expensive, but now Zhuang Sanming wasn't short on money. He just wanted to know what the effect of this pickled mustard tuber was.
However, recalling the train exclusive water and mantou items from before, the train probably wouldn't tell them the effect of the pickled mustard tuber either.
However, just as he was thinking this, subtitles suddenly appeared before his eyes:
【Menu item: Pickled Mustard Tuber, price: five thousand low-grade spirit stones per bottle.】
【Usage: Twist open the cap. Each person can eat a maximum of one stick at a time. The interval between eating two sticks must not be less than one hour.】
【Effect: Consuming pickled mustard tuber can provide a temporary cultivation boost to martial artists, Beast Tamers, ferocious beasts, etc., suitable for group use. However, it should be noted that pickled mustard tuber has side effects; after the cultivation boost period ends, it will cause diarrhea, so do not eat too much, unless you want to dehydrate from it.】
【Note: Each increase is not less than one percent, and can reach up to five percent.】
"It's a group buff?" Zhuang Sanming exclaimed.
This was exactly what the Axe Gang needed!
"It even has side effects." Wen Hui blinked. She was so curious about the green train. Although she had only ridden the train twice in total, just these two times, the green train had brought her so many surprises!
"I've seen many potions with side effects, but this is the first time I've known a product sold on the green train to have side effects," Xiong Mao said.
The quality of the potions sold in the Guild's Alchemy Hall was considered good throughout the entire 155 Fortress, but compared to the pills on the green train, they were simply insignificant.
There was simply no comparison!
The key was that they weren't expensive either! Excellent value for money!
"Give me one bottle of pickled mustard tuber, no, two bottles!" Xiong Mao said directly and generously.
This item was a good thing for the Axe Gang. Although the individual boost wasn't high, there were many people!
Group buffs could generally only be used by those who specifically studied such martial skills. But since they could already learn martial skills, who, apart from the leaders of certain factions, would be willing to give up the opportunity to learn other martial skills to learn a group buff skill?
