Mo Shuwan nodded, noted down the name of the manual, and returned to the previous page. Just as she was about to pick out one of the items about the zombie virus that she had just glanced at, she suddenly paused, turned her head to look at Wen Zuo sitting next to her, and said, "You can still talk? An hour has passed, which is a long time."
Wen Zuo also realized what was happening and tentatively spoke again, "It was indeed too much."
Wen Zuo was somewhat surprised to find that he could still speak. After thinking about it carefully, he hesitated and guessed, "I didn't talk much when we were looking at the manual's introduction. The fact that I can still speak now means that it's not calculated based on the normal one-hour flow rate, but rather that the time I spend speaking each time accumulates to one hour."
"Possibly, but how come they didn't mention something as important as the voice-restoring medicine?"
Mo Shuwan said this hoping that the bus would take the initiative to explain, but the bus did not respond at all. She asked again, but the bus still did not respond, so she had to give up asking. Anyway, the time for the voice-restoring drug was not calculated according to the normal flow rate, which was a good thing for Wen Zuo.
There were indeed items that could allow the two of them to control the zombie virus, but each one was incredibly expensive. Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, who had just recently thought that their points would be more than enough to get them through the next world, both let out a long sigh.
"It can instantly bring back the mind of a completely zombified person... It costs 2,000 points, and it only costs 5,000 points to completely remove the zombie virus." Mo Shuwan stared at the items on the exchange panel with a worried expression, feeling extremely conflicted.
The zombie virus did help Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, and they were both reluctant to completely remove it, but a talisman that could bring them back to their senses was just too expensive!
"No rush. Let's exchange for the secret manual that can improve our physical condition first. Based on this experience, as long as we are careful, we can still suppress the zombie virus."
Mo Shuwan nodded. Making oneself stronger is the most important thing. There is a world of difference between becoming stronger in essence and becoming stronger in a short time due to the zombie virus infection. Anyone would know which choice to make.
Since the room belongs to Mo Shuwan, Wen Zuo cannot exchange items here. Although Mo Shuwan would not mind letting him exchange items together, Wen Zuo is unwilling, so this matter is temporarily put aside.
"Although it seems that being the team captain is more beneficial than harmful at the moment, I have a feeling that this matter is not that simple." Mo Shuwan opened her phone. "I have five apps on my phone: Contacts, Messages, Time Bus Exchange Forum, Team Captain Exchange Forum, and Time Bus Trading Forum. Only Contacts and Messages are clickable; the others are grayed out."
Wen Zuo also opened his phone, and there were five apps on the screen as well. "Mine is the same, but my fourth app is the team member communication forum. Apart from the contacts and messages, the others are grayed out and can't be clicked. But from these apps, it can be seen that there is more than one such time bus."
Mo Shuwan nodded. Yes, since there are several forums, there must be other Time Buses as well.
Moreover, it seems there are quite a few of these time-travel buses, so there must be a lot of passengers. Among these passengers, could there be people who have traveled through countless mission worlds? How much do they know about time-travel buses?
Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo exchanged a silent glance, seeing a burning hope in each other's eyes. "As long as we can get into the forum, we can find other passengers, and perhaps we can find information on how to leave the bus and return to our world!"
Wen Zuo nodded silently.
It's been almost two months since they boarded the train, and they've been facing life and death every day. Although Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo have both appeared very strong, they still secretly hope to leave and return to their familiar, peaceful world. Now that they've finally pieced together the information, how could they not be happy?
However, all three apps that could provide information were currently grayed out, so even if they were happy, they had to put their hopes aside for the time being. The bus hadn't appeared for several hours, and their questions remained unanswered. Since they didn't know when the next mission world would open, Wen Zuo finished discussing what needed to be discussed and prepared to leave.
Sitting on the single sofa, Wen Zuo suddenly remembered that he hadn't told Mo Shuwan about the hidden mission to eliminate passengers, so he quickly removed his hand from the red button. "Eliminate passengers—"
Mo Shuwan looked at Wen Zuo, who was clearly speaking but no sound came out, and knew that the voice-restoring drug had failed.
Wen Zuo also realized what was happening, and with a wry smile, he took out the pen and paper he always carried with him from his pocket and wrote: Killing a passenger will reward you with 1,000 points. Because it is a hidden mission, other passengers will not be able to see the reward when it is calculated.
Mo Shuwan was startled. "Saving a passenger costs a thousand points. What exactly is the bus company trying to do?"
Killing someone is obviously easier than saving someone, and if other passengers find out about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wen Zuo shook his head: Other passengers can't see our hidden mission, and we can't see other passengers' hidden missions, so it's not certain whether any passengers have also triggered this side mission. We need to be careful in the world to come.
"Okay, I understand." Mo Shuwan nodded.
After confirming that nothing had been missed, Wen Zuo pressed the red button to leave.
Mo Shuwan sat on the single sofa, opened the "I am the secret manual that can improve physical condition" manual, and reluctantly clicked to redeem it. The moment the manual appeared in her hand, her points also decreased from the original amount to a full six thousand points!
"Phew... It's alright. The fact that it's expensive means this manual really works. As long as I become stronger, my chances of surviving in the mission world will increase. Six thousand points—it's worth it."
Mo Shuwan silently comforted herself, and finally, when she felt a little better, she opened the secret manual in her hand.
[Improving Physical Fitness - Volume 1]
Required materials: Marrow Cleansing Potion, Vitality Potion, Meridian Expanding Potion, Qingyang Fruit, Hundred Flower Fruit, Luo Tao Fruit...
Looking at the densely packed list, Mo Shuwan felt a bad premonition. She quickly opened the exchange board and entered "[Marrow Cleansing Potion]" in the search bar. Six potions popped up. Mo Shuwan numbly looked at the prices marked below the potions. She didn't even want to count how many zeros were after the most expensive one, but the cheapest one still cost 1,000 points.
Her forehead trembled violently as she searched for Vitality Potions again. She immediately looked at the price, which was her biggest concern, and saw that the cheapest Vitality Potion cost five thousand points. She almost cried.
So, the 6,000 points spent on exchanging for the manual was just the beginning? This is only the first volume...
Mo Shuwan, who was staring intently at the exchange board, suddenly had a jolt and immediately opened her phone to send a message to Wen Zuo, who replied quickly.
Wen Zuo: What's wrong? I've already redeemed the secret manual. [Laughing]
Mo Shuwan: ...Search for the materials needed to improve physical condition.
Wen Zuo: [Not knowing whether to laugh or cry]
Mo Shuwan was surprised that Wen Zuo sent such an adorable emoji, and she was both amused and exasperated. She sighed helplessly and quickly typed: It seems we'll have to work harder to earn points in the future.
Wen Zuo: Yes, it's like going back to square one.
