Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 737 - 444 Friendly Reminder_2

"We’re here for tourism."

Despite being quite cunning on the basketball court, the skinny old man still honored his bet, buying everyone ice cream—and it was even of pretty good quality.

On the way back, Guo Kun Nan said, "The old guy’s not bad, huh!"

Dan Kaiquan agreed, "He’s quite generous, spending over fifty bucks on the check."

They had thought the old man might try to weasel out of paying.

Yang Sheng remarked, "That guy’s racket is custom-made, not cheap, and he lives in this community."

The implication was that the old man wasn’t short on money.

Tang Fu looked at Xue Yuantong with newfound respect, "You’re that good at basketball?"

Xue Yuantong suppressed his pride and tried to be modest, "Low profile."

...

That evening, everyone had their last dinner together in Tai City, led by the class monitor.

July 13, in the morning.

Tai City East Station was bustling with people.

"Yanan, I’ll see you again after my trip ends," said Dong Qingfeng.

He cherished every single beautiful girl he met, not forgetting about them even when he was with Yang Sheng and Tang Fu, unless they were the ones who dumped him first.

Jiang Yanan said regretfully, "My parents want me back home, otherwise, I would have gone up to Peng City."

On this trip to Peng City, Dong Qingfeng was the leader. He was seen as quite reliable by Jiang Yanan and a few other girls, whether it be buying meals, explaining homework, or consulting on phones and computers—Dong Qingfeng was adept at them all.

He was like a signboard that inspired trust.

Unfortunately, this signboard only "opened" for beautiful girls.

Dan Kaiquan and Guo Kun Nan were returning home by train, opting for the old train station to save money.

Yu Wen was also headed back to Yuzhou, but unwilling to endure the slow train any longer, she decided to spend an extra hundred and take the high-speed rail.

Considering that Yu Wen and Jiang Yanan were females, Huang Zhongfei, after making things clear to Dan Kaiquan and the others, headed to the High-speed Railway Station as well.

And those heading to Peng City took the high-speed rail too.

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, will I get motion sickness on the high-speed rail?" asked Xue Yuantong; she had been on a train before but this would be her first time on a high-speed rail.

"You won’t, the high-speed rail is steadier than a train."

With that, Xue Yuantong was no longer worried.

...

At the train station, in the waiting hall.

Now only Dan Kaiquan and Guo Kun Nan were left—the once lively scene had suddenly turned quiet.

Dan Kaiquan felt quite emotional. They were broke, forced to take a hard seat on a train for five or six hours to get home. Who wouldn’t prefer to take the high-speed rail for just a bit over an hour if they had the money?

A man must be strong!

Dan Kaiquan didn’t complain. Harsh conditions instead roused his fighting spirit while waiting for the train.

He sent a message: "Brother Ma, do you know of any way to make money?"

Ma Shicheng replied quickly, "Have you guys returned from your trip?"

"Yes, I’ve almost emptied my wallet, looking for some opportunities," said Dan Kaiquan.

Knowing he was a decent person, Ma Shicheng asked, "Do you still play LoL?"

"Not much, I don’t have a computer, can only go to the internet cafe in town," Dan Kaiquan admitted candidly, "And my skills are not very good, I’m only at the Gold level."

Ma Shicheng said, "Silver’s enough, I’m planning to train a new hero, and we could make some money boosting accounts."

Ma Shicheng often hung around online forums and noticed there was a lot of demand for account boosting recently. He planned to get Wang Longlong to recruit some ’clients’.

Dan Kaiquan added, "And there’s Brother Nan, he’s about as good as me."

Ma Shicheng said, "Everyone come on over, I’ll set up a five-man team; we’ll take five accounts to boost at a time."

Dan Kaiquan asked, "Brother Ma, give me a ballpark figure, how much can we make in a day?"

"It depends on how many orders we get, but making a hundred or two should be no problem," Ma Shicheng indicated.

After hearing this, Dan Kaiquan felt elated and immediately shared the news with Brother Nan.

Guo Kun Nan was just as excited, "Damn, that’s several thousand a month! We’re gonna be rich!"

Yu Wen had disdainfully mentioned today that she wouldn’t take the train but opt for the high-speed rail instead, which must have embarrassed Guo Kun Nan and his friends.

But now, presented with a chance to earn money, even though they hadn’t started yet, Guo Kun Nan felt he could finally hold his head high.

He grandly waved his hand, deciding to treat his good brother to a meal.

Then, staring at the train station’s cheapest meal for 18 yuan, Guo Kun Nan fell into deep thought.

The two of them awkwardly bought some bread to make do and stave off their hunger.

Guo Kunnan was in the dark but looked towards the light. He took a swig of Ice Dew purified water, "Brother Quan, wait until I make some money, I’ll treat you to that buffet-style pork bone feast in the city."

"I’ve passed by it many times and even searched for reviews online. Everyone says it’s delicious," Guo Kunnan dreamed aloud.

Previously, he couldn’t afford barbeque, and it was Dan Kaiquan who had taken the initiative to lend him money. If he had money now, he certainly couldn’t forget the kindness shown to him.

Dan Kaiquan: "Okay, I’ll bask in your reflected glory."

The waiting room was packed with people, with no seats available, so the two of them leaned against the wall sitting, guarding their backpacks, taking a sip of water, a bite of bread, and dreaming of a better future.

...

The bullet train slowly came to a halt.

Xue Yuantong boarded and observed that the high-speed train’s environment was much better than a regular train’s.

Dong Qingfeng and the others were on the same train as Jiang Ning; they had all bought tickets at the same time.

After boarding, they started looking for their respective seats.

Jiang Ning chose a spot next to the window, with Xue Yuantong sitting next to him.

When it was Dong Qingfeng’s turn, there was a mix-up. He stood in front of his assigned seat, facing a barefooted man who was leaning back in the seat, eyes closed and resting.

After double-checking, Dong Qingfeng confirmed that, indeed, this was his seat. He called out:

"Excuse me, this is my seat. Could you please move?"

When away from home, Dong Qingfeng was always polite; his upbringing was impeccable.

He said it twice, but no one paid attention.

Yang Sheng and Tang Fu had already taken their seats, so Dong Qingfeng first helped them stow their luggage, then came back and called out again.

Still, no response.

Dong Qingfeng felt compelled to nudge the man: "Excuse me, this is my seat."

He showed his ticket. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The barefooted man was roused from sleep and turned around, looking annoyed: "What the hell do you want, can’t you see I’m sleeping?"

He spoke quite loudly, causing the surrounding passengers to look over.

Tang Fu said to Yang Sheng, "There won’t be trouble, right?"

Although they had heard of such seat-snatching incidents, it was everyone’s first time experiencing it firsthand.

Dong Qingfeng repeated himself: "Uncle, you’ve taken my seat."

He placed the ticket in front of the other man: "This is my seat. You’re in the wrong one. Please make way."

If the other party had been a pregnant woman and had been polite, Dong Qingfeng might have been willing to give up his seat, but facing this rude man, absolutely not.

"I’m not sitting in the wrong seat; it’s mine," the uncle leaned back again.

"May I see your ticket, please?" Dong Qingfeng asked.

"No need to look, don’t bother me."

Dong Qingfeng became angry: "Fine, be that way."

As a youth of the new era, Dong Qingfeng turned to find the conductor.

The uncle took out his ticket and grumbled, "There’s nothing wrong, damn it!"

Xue Yuantong overheard clearly and asked Jiang Ning, "Who is wrong here?"

"Dong Qingfeng isn’t," Jiang Ning replied. His Divine Sense had already scanned both tickets.

However, Jiang Ning rarely meddled in such affairs; it was best for the conductor to handle it.

The train doors closed, and the train started moving, the scenery outside moving backward.

At the same time, Dong Qingfeng brought the conductor over to address the issue.

The male conductor, holding the ticket, called out to the uncle, "Please show me your ticket."

The uncle tossed it at him, "Look, look, isn’t that seat 16? Where did I go wrong?"

After checking the ticket, the conductor said, "Sir, you are indeed not in the wrong seat; you’re simply on the wrong train."

"The ticket you’ve bought is for the train across the platform."

The uncle got up, shocked: "Are you kidding me?"

The male conductor replied: "You’ve really made a mistake, and now that the train has started, I suggest you get off at the next station."

The barefooted uncle roared in fury, went mad, and punched the seat in front of him.

Yang Sheng in the row ahead was shaken and, having been unfairly implicated, stood up and said kindly:

"Excuse me, getting angry is bad for your health. Just to remind you, since you haven’t bought a ticket for this train, you’ll need to buy a supplemental ticket from the conductor."
