Bus

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During this time, other than buying bus tickets in Da Qian City and checking on the rewards given by the school, Li Feng stayed at home and played games.

In three days, he had finally filled up half of the experience bar of the Ritualist.

On the sofa, Li Feng stretched lazily. He looked at the calendar and muttered, "Today is July 26th. The day after tomorrow is the day when school reopened. What's the date I booked the tickets for?"

Upon thinking of this, he quickly pulled out a dry bus ticket from under his butt. "Oh, so it's today. No, wait, I… It's actually 13: 50pm today. How many points is it now?"

When he saw that it was 13am sharp on his phone, Li Feng was a little stunned. He didn't even bother packing his things and simply walked out the door. Before leaving, he took one last look at the empty house and rushed to the bus stop.

When he arrived at the bus stop, the time showed that it was 13.30pm. This made Li Feng sigh in relief. "Fortunately, I still have time. Otherwise, my heart would have ached so much."

There weren't many people at the bus stop. Li Feng quickly queued up. After passing the security check, he sat in the lobby and waited for the bus to arrive.

Ever since the globalization data was released, various places had been occupied by dimensional Overlord creatures. Thus, the wilderness had become very dangerous. Meanwhile, humans could only travel in three ways.

"The first method is to take a plane."

They were the fastest and were less dangerous. If the plane tickets were not expensive, this was the best way to travel.

This was because after the era of digitization, all the planes were forged by alchemists. Not only were they sturdy, they also carried powerful destructive weapons that could kill Class-Rank dimensional creatures.

Of course, being powerful also meant that the energy consumption was huge. One shot cost more than 100,000 yuan.

The price of plane tickets between cities was higher than 100,000 yuan.

The second method was to take the high-speed rail.

The speed of the high-speed rail was ordinary and the tickets were cheap. However, the high-speed rail was large in size and didn't have strong defensive abilities. Thus, it was very easy for problems to arise when it encountered an attack and was extremely dangerous. However, its transport abilities were strong and hadn't been abandoned by the Great Xia Kingdom.

The third method was to take a bus.

The bus was the slowest and the tickets were expensive. It cost 30,000 yuan per ticket.

However, the reason Li Feng chose it was because it was safer.

This was because there were only 30 to 40 people in the bus. Thus, they were small targets and wouldn't be easily killed. Furthermore, there was an expert accompanying each bus.

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that Chengde County doesn't have an airport. Otherwise, I would really want to experience what it's like to sit in an airplane made of ashes." Li Feng felt a little pity.

Actually, the plane was his best choice. However, in a remote place like Chengde County, the Great Xia Kingdom had invested too little resources and was unable to bear the consumption of the airport.

Soon, it was 13: 50 PM. The bus arrived at the bus stop on time.

Li Feng followed the sparse group of more than twenty people onto the bus. Then, he found the number on his bus ticket and sat down.

Not long after, a fat man walked over to Li Feng and sat down.

"Everyone, I'm the security guard in charge of your journey!"

After everyone took their seats, a middle-aged man with a full beard got into the bus. He swept his cold gaze at everyone in the bus and said coldly, "Firstly, I want to tell you guys what to take note of. Generally speaking, there won't be any problems with our bus."

"However, there are exceptions to everything. Once a dimensional creature attacks, don't run around. Stay on the bus. I'll get off the bus and kill the dimensional creatures. If any of you get off the bus without permission, I won't ensure your safety. I'll give you one last warning. Don't get off the bus casually."

Towards the end, this bearded middle-aged man directly displayed his aura to deter everyone.

"They're professional experts. I didn't expect the bus to be equipped with such experts. This trip is stable."

"Yeah, the tickets are indeed a little expensive, but it's worth it!"

"…"

The people on the bus discussed among themselves and looked at the middle-aged man with respect.

In Chengde County, the Class Rank players were indeed considered high and mighty.

Even Li Feng was satisfied that a Class-Rank expert could be allocated to a bus. Thus, he didn't waste his money.

Clang clang…

The bus started moving. Li Feng sat beside the window. He looked at the familiar scenery outside and sighed slightly. "Goodbye, Chengde County."

Unknowingly, he had already stayed here for 18 years. Now that he was about to leave, he didn't know when he would have the chance to come back again.

He no longer had any relatives here. Meanwhile, his parents' generation of relatives also happened to encounter the arrival and chaos of the global digitization era. During this period, his parents wandered for several years before finally settling down in Chengde County, which was built later. Thus, their connection with each other had long been severed.

"I wonder if I'll have a chance to meet Uncle and the rest again when I go to Da Qian City this time?" Li Feng suddenly remembered that his mother had mentioned to him before she died that two brothers worked hard in cities near Da Qian City.

However, as soon as he was born, he lived with his parents. He didn't even know what his uncle looked like. Thus, it was very likely that it would be difficult for them to meet again. Even if they did meet, they might not be able to recognize him.

As his thoughts wandered, the bus gradually drove out of the suburbs. It would take at least eight hours to get from Chengde County to Da Qian City.

"Friend, hello. My name is Fan Dahai. What's yours?" The fat man beside Li Feng might have gotten bored and started chatting with him.

Li Feng glanced at him. The journey was boring, so it wasn't bad to have someone to pass the time. Thus, he smiled and said, "My name is Li Feng."

"Li Feng, that's a good name. I heard that the champion of Chengde County's college entrance examination is called Li Feng." As Fan Dahai spoke, he suddenly said in surprise, "Don't tell me that you're the top scorer?"

"No, they just have the same name." Li Feng shook his head.

"I knew it. How can it be such a coincidence that I can meet the top scorer in a bus? By the way, why are you going to Da Qian City?"

Fan Dahai was very chatty and immediately changed the topic.

"Let's go to the college."

"To go to an educational institution. I heard that those who can go to an educational institution can become professional experts after graduation. They are much stronger than me, unlike me, who can only do a small business and earn millions of yuan a year," said Fan Dahai humbly.

Li Feng: "…"

He felt a little helpless. He hadn't expected that there would be a day when he would be Versailles.

"You can't say that. You might not be able to earn money at the Class Rank. My nephew just graduated from an educational institute a few years ago. Now, he earns three to four hundred thousand yuan a year. He's far inferior to you."

The person in the next seat heard Li Feng and Li Feng's conversation and suddenly interrupted.

When Fan Dahai heard that, he quickly waved his hand, but he was full of smiles. "No, no. By the way, what college did your nephew graduate from?"

"I think it's called Katou Ying College," replied the young man.

"Oh, it's a third-rate college. However, it's not bad either," said Fan Dahai.

This young man was called Chen Wansan. He seemed to have the intention of currying favor with a businessman like Fan Dahai, so they began to talk about everything.

"…"

Meanwhile, other than studying, Li Feng usually played games. Thus, he naturally didn't know much about the outside world. Gradually, he couldn't interject, so he was neglected by the two of them.

However, he didn't mind and focused on playing the game.

Many people in the bus were also conversing in low voices. However, as time passed, the voices gradually calmed down. Meanwhile, the bus became even quieter. Many people were yawning as they felt sleepy.

Even the guard's eyes were half-closed, as if he could not withstand the sleepiness that rolled over him.
