The sun has risen, and the towering buildings cannot block its scorching rays, which spill onto the earth, seemingly intent on roasting everything to a crisp.
"Huff... huff..."
Fatty stands in front of the Station Sign, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face. As the temperature rises around him, Fatty feels increasingly uncomfortable; he is extremely sensitive to heat.
It is rush hour, and people are gathered around the station sign, waiting for the Zipline to arrive, forming a dense crowd. Only Fatty stands in a vacuum around him, with no one else but Lin nearby.
Passersby are wary of Fatty collapsing from exhaustion; if he were to fall on someone, it could lead to serious trouble.
These days, when people are out and about, most carry a sense of caution, fearing that someone might be trying to scam them.
Listening to Fatty's labored breathing, Lin sighs. He feels a bit regretful now; if he had taken Yuming's ride, Fatty wouldn't have to suffer like this.
"Hey, do you know what went wrong just now?"
To ease Fatty's discomfort, Lin takes the initiative to speak up and divert Fatty Chen's attention. Perhaps this will help him feel a bit better and not notice the heat as much.
"Huh? Bro, I know; it was my fault earlier..."
When asked this question, Fatty indeed gets distracted. He wipes the sweat off his face, looking quite nervous. He knows how displeased Lin was earlier; it was evident from Lin's behavior.
Fatty categorizes Lin's anger into three stages: displeased, angry, and explosive. Just moments ago, Lin was teetering between anger and an outburst; if he lost his temper, he might slam the door and leave Fatty behind without a second thought.
So now Fatty speaks cautiously, afraid of provoking Lin again.
"Well then..."
Lin saw Fatty's nervous face and felt a bit amused; in fact, he was no longer that angry.
"I know you often say, 'A Common Man Is Innocent, But Possessing a Treasure Is a Crime.' We have a treasure..."
Halfway through, Fatty realized something, lowered his voice, and continued, "We can't let people know about our treasure easily."
"Yes, that's good to know. The reason I can tell you so easily is that you are my brother."
Lin nodded calmly and didn't say more. He knew Fatty was very astute; many things didn't need to be too clear, as Fatty would have his own insights.
"I understand, brother."
Fatty quickly nodded along, looking like a well-behaved child.
With just a little push, Fatty's mind was occupied with other matters. His attention was no longer on the temperature, and it wasn't as hot as before; at least he wasn't breathing heavily.
Seeing that it had an effect, Lin didn't say much more. He continued to maintain a cold expression while waiting for the cable car to arrive.
"Toot toot toot!"
After about five minutes, a vehicle resembling a train approached from afar, suspended in mid-air by alloy cables, like a combination of a train and a cable car.
This was the Zipline. It moved quickly along low tracks, just beneath the low-altitude route of the Flying Car, allowing for smooth travel throughout the city.
With technological advancements today, traffic congestion had been resolved. Public vehicles, private cars, and large flying machines all had designated flight paths that did not interfere with each other, saving a lot of time on transportation.
"Chirp chirp"
The Zipline hovered above the station, making a sound like steel grinding together, then the long carriage descended to the ground. The doors slid open to the left and right, allowing people to board.
A dense crowd surged inside, and even today, they had not changed this bad habit of jostling and pushing each other at such times.
In fact, once inside the cable car, it wasn't too crowded. Most of the time, people had seats, as the number of Zipline cars was sufficient to alleviate the congestion of public transport.
Fatty and Lin Ye boarded the car and sat in a row of seats, waiting for the Zipline to reach its destination.
"Beep beep beep! Dear passengers, the next stop is Pride Street."
A melodious female voice rang out as the Zipline started moving toward the next stop, which was also heading to Lin Ye's anticipated destination, Warrior Exchange.
……
If there was one thing that wasted time on the Zipline, it was its stop duration. It basically stopped every three to five minutes, with each stop lasting another three minutes.
The old street was far from Warrior Exchange, and this ride took over an hour to reach its destination.
"Beep beep beep! Attention passengers, the next stop is Warrior Exchange North Station. Passengers disembarking please prepare to get off and take your personal belongings."
The pleasant female voice sounded again, but in Fatty's ears, it was somewhat annoying. He turned over in his seat, intending to continue his nap.
As he turned over, Fatty felt something soft beside him... Hmm! What a big pillow! Hugging the soft pillow, Fatty dozed off again.
After more than an hour's drive, this guy fell asleep.
"Damn it! Wake up, Fat Master! You've drooled all over me! Ugh, that's disgusting!"
Fat Master hadn't even settled into the soft pillow for three seconds before being violently tossed out.
In his dazed state, Fat Master dreamed that he let out a loud fart, which propelled him into the air, allowing him to experience the sensation of flying once again...
Ah, the feeling of flying is really great! Fat Master smacked his lips, feeling quite pleased with himself...
"Bang!"
But before Fat Master could fully enjoy the freedom of flying, he was jolted awake by a violent impact. He crashed against the wall of the cable car with a loud noise.
"Ouch! Who dares to hit you, Fat Master!"
Fat Master shouted as he suddenly opened his eyes, still hazy with sleep, only to feel a tremendous pain coming from behind him.
The commotion disturbed Lin Ye, who had been sitting nearby reading. He frowned, closed his copy of Basic Internal Skill, and looked over.
He saw that the Fat Master who had just been sitting next to him was gone, leaving only an empty seat and... an enraged Delinquent Girl?
She looked about the same age as Lin Ta and the others but was heavily made up. Her bright red lips looked like they were about to drip blood, her hair dyed in various colors and styled into a high puff that resembled an alien lion—quite bizarre!
He really couldn't understand how someone could consider such an appearance as a standard of beauty.
It's just that the Delinquent Girl has a questionable aesthetic, but anyway, Lin You doesn't plan to have any interaction with her. The real problem is that Fatty has offended her!
That Delinquent Girl has a decent figure; her chest is prominently high, looking like something that can't be grasped with just one hand.
However, on top of those towering "mountains," there is a shiny patch that has formed a lewd shape, soaking through the Delinquent Girl's clothes.
Given the brief conversation earlier, it's not hard for others to imagine that Fatty drooled in his sleep and ended up on her chest!
Well! With such an obvious drool mark, Fatty can't deny it.
Realizing all this, Lin's brows furrowed together, and he sighed inwardly. This Fatty is truly a disaster; all he does is cause trouble.
While sighing internally, Lin couldn't just sit there. He was already preparing to apologize to the girl to diffuse the situation.
Publicly offending a girl on the Zipline is a big deal. If not handled properly, Fatty could end up in detention for some time for re-education. So it’s better to apologize sooner rather than later.
With this thought in mind, Lin looked over at Fatty, who was still dazed and shouting, "Who? Who was it just now? Who hit Fat Master! How dare you hit Fat Master! You're really asking for it! Whoever did it, step forward! Fat Master won't let this go!"
Just as Lin was about to stand up to apologize, he lifted his butt slightly only to sit back down immediately. He smirked and slapped his forehead heavily, thinking, "This is bad! That damn Fatty! His mouth is really too reckless!"
In the next moment, Lin began to contemplate whether he should pretend not to know this Fatty since he really looks like a lunatic...
