5: Is one hundred spirit stones expensive? Not expensive at all!
Lin Feng did not expect that his second and third passengers would board under such circumstances.
But thinking about it carefully, it was also quite normal; after all, this was the Ferocious Beast Forest, where crises lurked on all sides, and everyone would encounter moments of life-threatening danger.
Someone boarding meant tickets could be sold.
Thus, before Wang Dapeng and Chu Feiyue could calm their emotions, a line of text appeared before their eyes:
【 Welcome to this train, please purchase a ticket. The fare is 100 low-grade spirit stones per ticket. 】
Taking someone's money to resolve their troubles—this was very reasonable!
If it weren't for his train, that fourth-tier Furious Eyed Bird would have eaten them both without leaving even a scrap behind.
Chu Feiyue swallowed hard: "What? 100... low-grade spirit stones?"
That's too expensive!
He had worked hard on missions for a month, risking his life countless times, and in the end, he only managed to get one or two thousand low-grade spirit stones. With daily expenses, the spirit stones he saved were only a few hundred.
Working Outside the Bastion was different from working inside the Wall; working for the guild was, to put it plainly, living at the mercy of the elements. If a mission wasn't completed, they were sometimes docked pay. For them, 100 low-grade spirit stones could definitely be considered a huge sum.
Wang Dapeng patted his shoulder and said: "Is now the time to be reluctant to spend money? You even used a Jade Talisman just now."
After saying this, he straightforwardly exchanged spirit stones for a ticket:
【 Passenger Name: Wang Dapeng, Travel Time: April, 308th Year of the Apocalypse, ID Number: 002 】
That's right!
As soon as Chu Feiyue thought of the two Jade Talismans he had used earlier, he felt his heart dripping blood.
The Jade Talismans sold by the guild cost 300 low-grade spirit stones each; he had just effectively used up 600 low-grade spirit stones in one go...
It hurt even more, ahhhhh!!!
"At least this train helped us block a disaster; 100 low-grade spirit stones it is. As for that Jade Talisman of yours, I will buy one to return to you after we go back and turn in the mission." Wang Dapeng found 100 low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag. These spirit stones quickly disappeared and were exchanged for an ordinary-looking ticket.
Upon hearing that the Jade Talisman could be returned, Chu Feiyue's heart stopped aching so much: "Alright."
He also handed over 100 low-grade spirit stones and received a ticket:
【 Passenger Name: Chu Feiyue, Travel Time: April, 308th Year of the Apocalypse, ID Number: 003 】
【 Welcome to this train, please stand firm and hold on. 】
Though it said to hold on, there was actually no need to hold on at all, because the train's speed was simply too slow.
It wasn't even as fast as a normal person running.
Thus, along the way, Wang Dapeng and his companion saw many low-tier ferocious beasts. Some attempted to attack the train, but they all returned empty-handed in the end.
"This train is truly amazing. I wonder what level of martial artist is driving it?"
Chu Feiyue said while looking outside.
Wang Dapeng simply sat down: "If they don't want to say, let's not ask. We'd better hurry up and rest to recover our stamina."
Once Wang Dapeng sat down, he began to circulate the Yuan energy within his body. They had been running for so long and had fought against the Furious Eyed Bird; they needed to recover properly.
Chu Feiyue, however, was very curious about the train: "There isn't even a seat on this train, and it's drafty on all sides. The driver doesn't even pay any attention to people, and I don't know how those words appeared. It's really strange."
Wang Dapeng's mouth twitched. Were these the important points?
The point was that this train could withstand the attack of a fourth-tier ferocious beast!
In the outer perimeter of the forest, as long as they were on this train, they wouldn't be snatched away by the Furious Eyed Bird.
"Sigh, it's a pity the mission wasn't completed. According to the guild's reward and punishment system, we probably won't be able to take on any team missions for a month." Chu Feiyue sighed.
People like them were, to put it plainly, living at the mercy of the elements. The Ferocious Beast Forest was intricate and complex, with numerous ferocious beasts. Not to mention getting rewards, they might lose their lives at any moment.
Wang Dapeng didn't like to chatter like Chu Feiyue. He sat there quietly, circulating his Qi Cavity to absorb the Yuan energy from the air; that way, he would recover faster.
However, when he truly began to absorb the Yuan energy, he immediately felt that something was wrong!
"This, this is impossible?" Wang Dapeng blurted out.
"What's impossible?" Chu Feiyue was still looking outside and hadn't noticed what was wrong with him.
"Quick, sit down and try cultivating." Wang Dapeng waved at Chu Feiyue excitedly.
"Me?" Chu Feiyue pointed at himself.
"Hurry up! You'll understand what I mean once you cultivate."
"Alright then."
Chu Feiyue also sat down and circulated his Yuan energy to open his Qi Cavity. He was currently a Level Three Martial Artist with a total of four Qi Vortexes in his body. Every time he cultivated, his Qi Cavity absorbed Yuan energy very slowly. But this time, just as he began to cultivate, he discovered that his Qi Cavity was operating several times faster than before!
The Yuan energy within the spiritual energy surged into his Qi Cavity endlessly, just like sweet dew after a long drought, or meeting an old friend in a foreign land!
"How is it? You felt it, right?" Wang Dapeng knew as soon as he saw his shocked expression. "The spiritual energy in this train is actually so abundant, much more abundant than when we were outside just now."
Chu Feiyue nodded like a garlic masher: "If I had known, I would have sat down to cultivate as soon as I got on the train! I wasted so much time. This is all spiritual energy, all Yuan energy! It kills me with regret. Alright, don't talk to me; I am a cultivation machine now!"
Wang Dapeng shook his head helplessly and continued to cultivate as well.
Both of them could feel that cultivating inside this train was more than ten times faster than cultivating outside.
This train was simply too magical!!
The two of them cultivated so selflessly that they had no idea what was happening outside until they heard a "ding" sound, opened their eyes, and saw this line of text:
【 Arrived at the destination, please disembark. 】
To them right now, this line of text was like a bolt from the blue!
"So fast? Can we sit for a while longer?" Chu Feiyue's face was twisted in misery; he hadn't absorbed enough Yuan energy yet!
Wang Dapeng, however, had already noticed that after this line of text appeared, the spiritual energy in the train had mysteriously dissipated, so even if they stayed on the train, they wouldn't be able to absorb any more Yuan energy.
"Let's go. We'll ride it next time." Wang Dapeng said.
His words happened to inspire Chu Feiyue. Chu Feiyue didn't think a 100 low-grade spirit stone ticket was expensive at all anymore: "I want to ride it again right now! It's just 100 low-grade spirit stones, right? I still have some!"
What did people like them take missions for? Wasn't it just to exchange low-grade spirit stones for cultivation resources?
The spiritual energy in the train was so abundant that no amount of resources could buy it!
Are 100 low-grade spirit stones expensive? Not expensive at all!!
When he said this, Wang Dapeng also revealed an expectant expression.
Riding the train for 100 low-grade spirit stones was simply too worth it.
【 Each passenger can only ride the train once within 24 hours. 】
Lin Feng ruthlessly rejected them.
"Why? If you think the money is too little, I can add more! 200 low-grade spirit stones, no, 300 low-grade spirit stones!" Chu Feiyue was anxious.
