Chapter 143: Wutong High School 2
“Miss, going by car? Direct to Wutong Station, leaving immediately.”
“It’s very cheap, only half the price of the subway.”
“We are all legitimate ride-hailing cars, with all the necessary paperwork, so there’s no need to worry about problems…”
The woman chattered incessantly around Chu Yian, extending her thin, dark fingers, eagerly trying to solicit her. Her high-cheekboned face was covered in red streaks, like extremely poor quality blush, and her eyes were fixed on Chu Yian, reaching out as if to grab her.
Chu Yian’s steps were quick, and she rushed forward without looking sideways.
Game rule number one: If you encounter people offering other modes of transportation, ignore them and do not speak to them. This was not difficult; she swiftly rushed onto the subway heading to Wutong Station.
The second thing to do after getting on the subway was to sit in an empty seat.
At this moment, the subway car was still empty, with only a few people, so she directly sat in the seat by the door. On the large screen inside the subway car, the upcoming direction of the subway was displayed. From Changning Station to Wutong Station, there were only six or seven stops in between, which should be very quick under normal circumstances.
But it was also very strange inside.
The dim carriage emitted a faint musty smell. Besides the benches being green, the subtle corners of the carriage were also painted green, as if to conceal something.
There were no monkeys in the carriage as mentioned in the rules, only five people.
An old man in a floral shirt, a middle-aged couple sitting expressionlessly, a young person wearing headphones and listening to music with their head down, and a gaunt middle-aged man.
Among them, the gaunt middle-aged man was the only one not sitting.
His palm was tightly gripping the rusty handrail inside the car, and Chu Yian suddenly noticed that his right hand was also holding a chain. This chain… looked exactly like one used to restrain a monkey.
Just as Chu Yian wanted to look again, she suddenly heard voices from outside the carriage.
“Damn it, I just said it wouldn’t be us, and then we came in. This is too unlucky! The world is so big, and I still get chosen. Who is the super high potential player nearby? Dare to come out? I’ll thank him in person!”
When this person spoke, his molars were clenched tight.
Chu Yian paused, then, like the other young person in the carriage, she put on her headphones, pretending to listen to music.
“Alright, let’s think about how to clear this stage.”
There was a reason for this person’s arrogant speech; behind him were two companions as burly as him. “Have you memorized all the rules on the paper?”
Among the three, the one with the buzz cut seemed the most composed, and he inquired about the other two’s situation.
But the other two did not answer, or rather, they stopped speaking after entering the carriage. The three of them surveyed their surroundings, then looked at each other, communicating entirely with their eyes, and then separated, forming a triangle shape and sitting on different sides. They also began to imitate the other people on the train.
However, their imitation was useless.
Since the three of them came in, no one else had boarded this carriage.
As the vehicle started, the carriage began to screech like a broken accordion.
Everyone waited, annoyed yet patiently, for the subway to quickly reach Wutong Station.
However, what should have been a less than half-hour journey felt extremely long to them. It was as if three hours had become three hundred years, and the subway had already circled the Earth twenty times. This made the impatient ones gradually unable to bear it; the man who had wanted to seek revenge on the super potential player earlier could no longer stand it. He threw his backpack in frustration, “How much longer until we get there?!”
