Chapter 172 Group Tickets



The 'Hamburger Card' was listed in the mall, and immediately information on cards of the same level for sale appeared. They were basically all useless cards. Even Liu Juan, who wasn't picky, couldn't choose the one she wanted. Anyway, as long as the item was listed, it was acceptable. Whether or not a transaction was made wasn't that important.

After meeting the requirements, a new section appeared in the mall – the Maintainers' Forum.

It was called a communication area, but it was actually a resource exchange area. You could only post about buying or selling. Sun Han flipped through several pages before finding someone who had written a long paragraph in the product description that wasn't entirely product details. The other person had cleverly written a few sentences of details and a few other things, but unfortunately, the content in the description turned into gibberish, and no one could decipher what he was trying to say.

Moreover, posts cannot be posted casually. Each time the Gate of Reincarnation opens, only two posts can be posted, and duplicate posts are not allowed.

After consulting with everyone, they agreed to exchange blue pills for white pills and posted a barter offer without specifying the price.

This can attract buyers to the highest bidder.

Although they haven't used Blue Pills much, it doesn't mean others can't use them either. After all, Blue Pills are quite convenient, unlike ordinary food, which requires time to eat. Of course, the main reason is that many maintainers' rest stations don't have food.

Du Jun and his two companions encountered two groups of maintainers at 'Starry Sky'. One of these groups had previously cooperated with them and inadvertently revealed information about their rest stop, which was supposedly a bus stop...

Therefore, the number of Blueballs acquired in the discussion thread is not low.

Not receiving a reply anytime soon, Cheng Shuang took out the acquired goods and began to sort them, while Liu Juan helped her calculate the accounts.

In the end, the little girl received 25 points for medicine, 20 points for clothes, and 10 points for a charger.

She currently has 500 points plus 125 points for a nutritional drink, totaling 625. Running socks and milk tablets are mandatory purchases, so after deducting those, she has 600 points left.

It would be worth 60,000 in cash.

For a child who receives at most two thousand yuan in New Year's money, sixty thousand yuan is a huge sum of money.

Seeing her beaming from ear to ear, the others couldn't help but offer some words of advice, fearing the young girl might develop a habit of spending money recklessly. Points might seem useless at first glance, but when needed, the more you have, the more confident you'll feel.

If things really turn out as we considered before, then 600 points for a special item that can regenerate severed limbs isn't really that much.

Cheng Shuang understood, of course, that she was just having a good time with the huge sum of money.

They say contentment brings happiness! Life is tough, so it's good to embrace simple joys!

Du Lanshan and Du Lushui communicated well and quickly returned to the team. Du Lushui took out a red pill and handed it to Liu Juan, expressing her sincere gratitude.

However, Pinkie Pie and the others really needed it. After discussing it privately for a long time, they gritted their teeth and took out a card as an exchange.

Cheng Shuang refused, and the little girl said seriously, "I'll decide whether to give you the card now after the ticket for the next Gate of Reincarnation appears."

Considering the realities of the situation, the Du brothers found it difficult to refuse.

The two suffered great losses this time, even expending a lot of Blue Pills. The 'Dream Amusement Park' was truly like a dream, and the food inside had no effect on satiety. With the added effect of the dream, they felt as if they had been inside for more than a month.

It's a miracle that we escaped alive.

Hearing this, the little girl got goosebumps all over. She couldn't stand it for even a few days, let alone for more than a month...

The group rested for four days, exercising and communicating every day. In their spare time, they would listen to music and watch horror movies to broaden their experience.

Since they already had charging equipment, they weren't worried about their electronic devices running out of power. The only downside was the lack of internet access. The songs and movies were all downloaded by the group beforehand, and the few available films weren't anything new.

Cheng Shuang: ...Doing practice problems makes me happy!

The fifth day arrived leisurely. The electronic notification sound echoed throughout the convenience store. A few people who were prepared were guarding the checkout counter. Cheng Shuang skillfully tore off the ticket from the ticket dispenser with a click-clack sound—"Choice number C-BLD1, Station Master Cheng Shuang, please keep the group ticket for [Abyss City] safe. Have a good time."

The remaining five tickets are all group tickets for [City of the Abyss].

Each ticket still has a note: it cannot be transferred or sold. If maintainers holding the same group ticket get separated in [Abyss City], they can be found by using their tickets.

"That's good, just in case we get separated." Sun Han smiled as he retrieved the ticket.

Liu Juan first breathed a sigh of relief, but then her expression became somewhat tense. "Won't it be even more difficult to get group tickets?"

Du Jun shook his head, "Not necessarily. The cruise ships that Shuangshuang and I went on were quite challenging."

Du Lanshan and Du Lushui surrounded Cheng Shuang, took out the card, and Du Lanshan said with a smile: "Since it is a team competition, the card is still for you. There will always be someone to look out for you among your teammates. It won't be more difficult than when there are only one or two people."

Cheng Shuang didn't refuse. She could tell that the two uncles from the Du family didn't like owing favors.

The gates of reincarnation are about to open; the group shouldered their backpacks and stood ready.

A burst of light stung their eyes, and their vision blurred as the six of them suddenly appeared before a tall, ancient gate.

As soon as the door opened, Cheng Shuang, who was about to roll up her sleeves and climb over the door, was dragged and carried up.

The little girl rolled skillfully on the thick door frame, and when she opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness.

She waited quietly in the darkness for a while, her eyes adjusting to the dimness. Looking around, she saw the eerie blackness stretching to the boundless distance, but she didn't see Du Jun and the others, nor did she see any other maintainers or natives.

It seems that even group tickets cannot guarantee that they will meet at the same location.

Cheng Shuang calmly took out the teddy bear and handed it the crank flashlight. Since it was still uncertain what type of city the Abyss City was, it was better to conserve the phone battery.

The flashlight emitted a faint light as it was cranked. After a while, the range of the light expanded. When the bear cub stretched the flashlight into the distance, Cheng Shuang summarized two pieces of information: good and bad.

The good news is that there seem to be no other creatures or obstacles here; the bad news is that this place is so vast and boundless that you can't see any other objects or things.

So where should she go?

The little girl scratched her head, pulled out the ticket, and the teddy bear turned the flashlight around and shone it on her.

There was a red dot on the back of the receipt. She touched it, puzzled, but nothing seemed amiss. She shook it, but nothing changed.

Puzzled, she took a step forward, ready to choose any direction at random, when a straight red line appeared on the receipt, the end of which pointed directly to the red dot.

Cheng Shuang tried taking two steps in the opposite direction, and the red line disappeared.

She suddenly realized, "Oh, it's GPS!"

Now there's no need to hesitate any longer; just follow the straight line and you can meet up with everyone!

The little girl set off excitedly, but she was too naive. When a brand new hamburger fell into the space, Cheng Shuang, exhausted from walking, collapsed to the ground. Looking at the darkness all around, she lay down dejectedly, no longer wanting to go any further.

The most terrifying thing is that walking in the dark for so long brought indescribable pressure to her mind...
