Chapter 194: Layout Inside the Train
"Ajiu, look at the World Channel! We're actually being praised by so many people!" Zhao Yuxin said excitedly, pulling on Zhu Zhiquan's hand.
Zhu Zhiquan, who was in the middle of tending to his wounds, merely glanced at the World Channel upon hearing her words and paid her no further mind. He felt the surrounding players staring at the two of them, a sensation that made him very uncomfortable.
He simply looked toward the massive Train in the plaza, discovering that the gate alone was four meters high and wide enough for three vehicles to pass side-by-side. Zhu Zhiquan immediately ordered Xuebao, "Xuebao, hurry and drive the vehicle inside!"
"Mm~" Xuebao obediently drove the Tricycle into the Train. After arriving inside, the group saw a Vending Machine in the center, displaying various goods.
Zhao Yuxin wanted to get off the vehicle to see what was being sold on the Vending Machine, but Zhu Zhiquan pulled her back, watching the surrounding players vigilantly.
At this moment, there were dozens of players inside the Train, each with different expressions—fear, provocation, indifference, arrogance, and so on.
Seeing that these players had no intention of making a move and that his own wounds were already tended to, Zhu Zhiquan let Zhao Yuxin stay on the Tricycle while he jumped off to check the goods on the Vending Machine.
Zhao Yuxin had wanted to ask why Zhu Zhiquan was holding her back, but seeing the gazes of the surrounding players made her feel uncomfortable.
"Ajiu~" Zhao Yuxin drew Zhu Zhiquan's attention, waving her hand to signal him to return to the Tricycle.
But Zhu Zhiquan only nodded slightly, not saying a word, and continued to look at the goods on the Vending Machine.
Helpless, Zhao Yuxin had to have two Durian Warriors follow behind her and instructed the Lock-Hook Tree Demon and Xuebao to guard the Tricycle before she finally came to the Vending Machine.
Zhu Zhiquan glanced at Zhao Yuxin; knowing she definitely wouldn't go back, he didn't chase her back to the Tricycle, only silently focusing on the goods on the Vending Machine.
The goods on the Vending Machine were diverse. Below the machine were two slots, labeled "Sales Slot" and "Pickup Slot" respectively, and the top stated the operating hours were 9:00—11:00.
The shelves were filled with an array of goods, among which the ones Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan wanted most were the 50 Cubic Meter Extended Carriage and the Outdoor Restroom Blueprint.
Name: 50 Cubic Meter Extended Carriage
Quality: White
Description: What else is there to introduce? Didn't you see the item name says 50 Cubic Meter Extended Carriage? No need to explain what it does, right!
Name: Outdoor Restroom Blueprint
Quality: Green
Description: Can be used to craft an Outdoor Restroom, preventing sneak attacks by wild beasts, mosquito bites, and the effects of harsh weather while relieving oneself.
Zhao Yuxin tugged on Zhu Zhiquan's sleeve. "Ajiu, I think the description for this 50 Cubic Meter Extended Carriage... tsk, how should I put it? It just feels a bit special."
"Mm." Zhu Zhiquan responded simply, turning to take her hand, preparing to return to the Tricycle.
Zhao Yuxin patted the back of Zhu Zhiquan's hand repeatedly, each tap avoiding his wounds, and pouted, saying, "Ajiu, let go! I want to look a bit more!"
Zhu Zhiquan had no reaction to this, only pulling Zhao Yuxin's hand as he walked back. Behind them followed the two Durian Warriors, protecting their safety at all times.
At this moment, a tailless monkey wearing armor and holding a black long staff ran out from behind Zhu Zhiquan's side and raised the staff high to smash it toward them.
The Durian Warriors reacted immediately to such an obvious attack, blocking in front of the monkey.
Bang!
The monkey's long staff was blocked by one Durian Warrior, and the other moved behind it to attempt a sneak attack, but the monkey nimbly dodged the attack and broke through their blockade with a sliding tackle.
"Ajiu, watch out!" Zhao Yuxin deployed her Wrist Energy Shield, blocking in front of Zhu Zhiquan.
Zhu Zhiquan wanted to push Zhao Yuxin away, but he accidentally used too much force and pulled at the wounds on his body.
When the monkey's attack landed on the Wrist Energy Shield, the shield flickered. The monkey smashed it with another strike, and the Wrist Energy Shield could no longer withstand the attack, scattering like glass shards.
Then, the long staff struck Zhao Yuxin heavily on the waist, sweeping her away, and the monkey used the momentum to knock down the two Durian Warriors who had rushed over.
At this moment, the monkey saw out of the corner of its eye that one of Zhu Zhiquan's hands had already begun to draw his sword, so it immediately pulled its staff and thrust it toward its rear.
This sudden attack came unexpectedly, and the surrounding players watching the show did not think highly of the already heavily wounded Zhu Zhiquan.
Just as the monkey's long staff was about to hit Zhu Zhiquan, he dodged to the side, backhanded his Spirit Valley Longsword, and slashed toward the monkey's neck, grazing the staff.
The monkey's eyes widened, and it immediately let go and ducked to dodge the sword.
Swish~
After Zhu Zhiquan swung the sword, a drop of bright red blood dripped from the blade of the Spirit Valley Longsword. Looking at the monkey, a cut had been slashed into the tendons of its hands.
Then the two Durian Warriors rushed up again, knocked the monkey down, and grabbed their weapons, preparing to kill it.
Suddenly, the monkey turned into a black shadow; when it reappeared, it was already ten paces away.
At the same time, a woman stood beside it. This woman wore black gauze clothing, her face covered by a black mask, holding a dagger with green stripes in her hand, and carrying a backpack on her back.
At this, the monkey turned its head and said to the woman in a childish voice, "Sister, why are you stopping me? Just those two strange things can't hurt me at all, I definitely..."
Slap!
Before it could finish speaking, the woman slapped the person on the forehead. Even though it was covered by a mask, one could still see the woman's furious, wide-eyed expression.
After being hit by his sister, the player who had turned into a monkey was no longer arrogant; he dispelled his talent and began to return to his original appearance.
At this time, the dense fur gradually withered, the monkey's face slowly turned into a human face, and his physique dropped significantly. Once the transformation was completely dispelled, a ten-year-old boy was revealed before everyone's eyes.
During the time the boy was dispelling his talent, the woman apologized to Zhu Zhiquan and his group, "I am sorry, everyone. My younger brother, Zhou Yongchang, is usually quite mischievous; I hope you can forgive him."
Zhu Zhiquan had no mind to deal with the siblings and walked straight to Zhao Yuxin's side to help her up.
Zhao Yuxin had wanted to seek some justice, but if they continued to fight, even if they could win, Zhu Zhiquan's injuries would likely become even more severe.
And she herself would suffer no small injury; by then, the surrounding players might very well take action against them again!
Thus, Zhao Yuxin put on a professional smile and said, "It's fine, children are always a bit mischievous; just discipline him strictly when you get back."
"I'm not a child!"
Slap!
"Sister, why are you hitting me again?"
"Shut up!"
Zhou Yongchang lowered his head, not daring to speak again. Seeing him behave, his sister took some supplies out of her backpack and said, "I am Zhou Xuemei. Please take these items as an apology."
Having said that, Zhou Xuemei pulled Zhou Yongchang away at high speed, fearing they would be held in resentment by Zhu Zhiquan and the others.
Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin exchanged a glance, picked up the items Zhou Xuemei had left behind, and led the Durian Warriors back into the Tricycle carriage.
The other players watching the show sighed for a bit, then dispersed.
