102: Chapter 102 Black Market and Transportation

Several more days passed after that.

Nothing else happened during this period.

No more monsters came looking for him, as if everything had come to an end.

But Su Lin would not let his guard down.

Because he knew that this tranquility was just a facade before the storm.

Those existences hiding in the shadows would absolutely not give up easily.

Therefore, during this time, he had been making preparations and gearing up for battle.

Through the black market, he obtained several fake identities and bought many special Transcendent items.

For one thing, they were going to Linyuan Village next, and fake identities could prevent them from being targeted; even if something went wrong, it wouldn't implicate their real identities.

Moreover, this could also avoid certain Curses, tracking, or Karma-based investigations related to names and identities, preventing them from being tracked down via their real names by some sinister means.

Secondly, Lin Weixia, this little girl, was ultimately just a novice who had just started, so getting her some Transcendent items could save her life and provide convenience for subsequent actions.

As for the cost of exchanging items, that was the simplest part.

In his System Space, there was a pile of 0-star Materials.

Although the System judged them as trash, they seemed to be very precious things in the eyes of others.

He just took out a few 0-star Materials.

Those guys' eyes lit up, and they were respectful to him, arranging everything properly right away.

This was also a relatively convenient aspect of this world.

Because Demonic Beasts and weird entities ran rampant in this world and the wilderness was extremely dangerous, the official regulatory power was limited.

Therefore, the black market in this world was very developed; as long as one had money or goods, one could get anything.

If it were before, as a poor wage earner, he wouldn't even dare to think about these things.

But now, he had strength and Materials, so he could be considered a big client in the black market.

Of course, he had to make good use of it.

Besides this, during this time, he also had Lin Weixia try to divine the situation in Linyuan Village.

But perhaps due to distance limitations, or maybe some other reason, they gained nothing.

The little sister still needed more practice, after all...

However, he wasn't in a hurry; after all, his top priority right now was to resolve the matter of Linyuan Village.

Those guys had already come knocking; if he didn't resolve it, he would always feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

He didn't like this feeling at all.

Therefore, he wanted to take the initiative and hold the upper hand himself!

And today was the time to set off.

...

...

Linhai City, train station.

Su Lin took Lin Weixia to the train station in Linhai City.

Because Demonic Beasts and weird entities ran rampant in this world, the wilderness was very dangerous.

In order to connect all the cities, the transportation System in this world was relatively developed.

In addition to the official roads that extended in all directions.

There were also trains, airplanes, sea routes, and so on.

However, compared to speed, public transportation in this world focused more on safety.

After all, because these vehicles were massive, they were likely to attract attacks from monsters and weird entities.

Therefore, they were usually equipped with a large number of weapons, even guarded by powerful Transcendents, and had various magic arrays to mask their aura, so safety was guaranteed.

The distance from Linhai City to Qingzhou City was quite far; if he traveled by his Physical Body, it would definitely consume a huge amount of energy.

Coupled with the previous incident of monsters coming to his door, Su Lin worried about encountering danger in the wilderness.

Therefore, he planned to take the official route, which would be easier and have safety guarantees.

So, he finally chose to take the train.

This type of transportation was fast and stable; if something really happened, he could escape quickly.

It could be said that this was the most suitable transportation for them.

Of course, his and Lin Weixia's tickets were both purchased using fake identities.

After all, it's better to be safe than sorry.

At this moment, the train station was bustling with noise and people coming and going.

A huge steel train was parked by the platform, its surface covered with dense runes, emitting weak energy fluctuations.

The windows were made of specially reinforced glass, the roof was equipped with spiritual energy turrets, and several guards in black combat uniforms were patrolling.

Lin Weixia looked at these steel beasts, her eyes shining with excitement.

Obviously, she had never seen such a large train, let alone ridden one.

Seeing her like this, Su Lin asked curiously, "Have you never ridden a train before?"

Lin Weixia shook her head, her tone carrying a bit of embarrassment:

"Hehe, I grew up in the village since I was a child. I have seen trains from afar, but I've never ridden one. I've always wanted to ride one at least once."

Hearing this, Su Lin just smiled slightly and said, "Then you must really experience it this time."

"Yeah!" Lin Weixia nodded vigorously, her eyes full of gratitude.

Su Lin looked at the train, also feeling a bit sentimental.

To be honest, ever since his Transmigration to this world, he actually hadn't ridden a train either.

The last time he rode a train was in his previous life, so now was a good time to relive that experience.

Su Lin didn't think too much and directly called Lin Weixia, who was looking around, to board the train together.

"Let's go, stop looking. The train is about to leave."

Hearing this, Lin Weixia hopped and skipped as she followed him up.

She was so excited, just like a primary school student on a field trip.

However, just as they were preparing to check their tickets and board the train.

A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Immediately after, several men squeezed through the crowd, moving extremely fast, not looking at the front at all.

"Ouch!"

Lin Weixia was looking at the carriage number next to them, when she was suddenly bumped into, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the side.

Su Lin was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbing her arm and pulling her back, steadying her firmly.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Weixia covered her bruised shoulder, shook her head, and said, "I-I'm fine."

The men who bumped into her only paused slightly; the leader was a man who looked gentle and elegant, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

He turned his head to look at Lin Weixia, his tone polite but with a hint of hurry: "Sorry, sorry, we're in a rush."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Weixia's response, turned around, and led the other men quickly onto the train, disappearing into the carriage entrance in a few steps.

Lin Weixia rubbed her shoulder and muttered softly: "Even if you're in a rush, you can't just bump into people like that..."

However, although she was complaining, she wasn't really upset.

After all, when traveling, bumps and collisions were inevitable.

It was just that her shoulder really hurt a bit...

But Su Lin looked at the backs of those people leaving, and frowned slightly.

Because he faintly sensed a lingering spiritual energy fluctuation from those men.

Although it was very weak, he still caught it.

The aura was indescribable; it seemed somewhat different from ordinary Transcendents, but it didn't seem like Cultists, nor did it seem like weird entities.

Su Lin was immediately a bit concerned and secretly raised his vigilance, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

He just hoped nothing would happen.

"Let's go, get on the train."
