Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

"Yes, I still will."

"That settles it then."

Lin Si shrugged.

"Since I'll get beaten no matter what I wear, why don't I dress more comfortably?"

Seele opened her mouth, only to find that she couldn't refute it.

Lin Si continued:

"And we're not there to beat people up, we're there to deliver gifts."

Seele raised an eyebrow.

"A gift? What can you give as a gift?"

Lin Si's lips curled up slightly.

"A hope."

Chapter 24 Pan Yan Town, Encounter with Sangbo Again

The group rested in the mining area for a while.

With Lin Si and the people from Di Huo taking turns keeping watch at night, things proceeded peacefully.

After resting, Seele led Lin Si and the other two towards the core area of ​​the lower district.

Along the way, Pera would occasionally remind Lin Si that it was time to go back.

"Lady Bronya, we've been out for so long..."

Lin Si didn't turn her head.

"Let's wait and talk about it after the birthday party."

"But...."

"hold on."

Ling Ke, on the other hand, seemed quite interested.

She looked around at the underground buildings she had never seen before, at the warm yellow ore, and at the residents of the lower-class area who were dressed simply but had smiles on their faces.

"Wai Bi Ba Bo".

She muttered something under her breath.

Pera stumbled.

"Lingbao!"

Ling Ke glanced at her expressionlessly.

"What's up?"

Pera covered her face, not wanting to speak.

After walking for about half an hour, the scenery suddenly opened up before us.

A town of considerable size came into view.

The houses are scattered in a pleasing manner, and people come and go on the streets. There are vendors calling out their wares, children chasing each other, and a few elderly people sitting in front of their doors basking in the sun, even though there is no sun here.

"arrive."

Seele stopped in her tracks.

"Panyan Township, the largest settlement in the lower district."

Lin Si looked around.

It's definitely much better than the shacks in the mining area I've seen before.

Several miners were squatting by the roadside, munching on hardened black bread and arguing about something.

"I told you! That's how you drive a mine cart!"

"If you keep driving like that, you're bound to crash sooner or later! Listen to me!"

"Listen to you? Last time I listened to you, the mine cart fell straight into the ditch!"

In a slightly more open area, a group of people were gathered around a wooden board with a few words scrawled crookedly on it:

[Boxing Tournament - Tonight - Place your bets now!]

A burly man with his shirt off was shouting there:

"Bet on Lao Luo and you'll win!"

Someone nearby objected:

"Buy Iron Arm! Iron Arm can kill a Rift Monster with one punch!"

Lin Si stared in disbelief.

Pera looked around curiously.

Ling Ke's eyes lit up as she scanned the various ore piles and mechanical devices, looking like she really wanted to study them.

Seele noticed their reaction and casually remarked:

"What? You've never seen life in the lower-class areas?"

Lin Si nodded.

"I have never seen it before."

Xi'er snorted.

“People from the upper class probably will never come to a place like this in their entire lives.”

Lin Si did not refute.

He was simply silently processing the information he had just seen in his mind.

These events unfolded in ways that differed somewhat from his expectations.

The locked-down lower-class areas are resource-scarce and have harsh environments, but the people there have not been crushed. They are still laughing, making noise, and striving for a living.

The leader who can create such a "thriving" atmosphere in a pile of ruins is indeed quite something.

This also made him even more certain that the leader was the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Our birthday party for our boss is still a while away. Would you like to explore on your own, or come help with the decorations?"

Lin thought for a moment.

Wandering around by myself? Dressed like this, it's definitely not appropriate.

Moreover, what he needs is to get to the core of this "earth fire," not just to take a cursory look at the scenery.

"We're not going to shop anymore."

He smiled.

"Let's go with you to decorate your boss's birthday party."

Seele paused for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Okay, follow me."

She turned and walked deeper into the town.

Lin Si followed.

Pera and Ling exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

The three followed Seele through several alleys and arrived at a building that looked somewhat decent.

Seele pushed open the door and entered.

"I'm back!"

A cheer immediately erupted from inside.

"The butterflies are back!"

"I heard you went to clean up the mining area?"

"How's it going? How many monsters did you take down?"

Lin Si followed Xi'er into the room and saw a room full of people.

There were shirtless burly men, old men smoking pipes, women holding children, and a group of children running around.

All eyes were on them.

To be precise, it fell on the three of them.

The room suddenly fell silent.

The old man, who was smoking a pipe, almost dropped it.

The shirtless man rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

The children don't care about any of that.

Several little ones immediately surrounded them, their eyes shining.

Wow! A duck!

"And penguins!"

"Is that a rabbit? It's so cute!"

A little girl reached out to touch Lingke's bunny ears.

Ling took a step back expressionlessly.

The little girl missed her target, but she wasn't annoyed; instead, she became even more excited.

"It can even move! That's amazing! Miss Rabbit, would you like to join the Mole Party?"

Lin Si: "......"

Are the people in this lower-class area so tough? Are even the kids building up power?

Pera's face turned red again.

Lingke remained expressionless, but her rabbit ears swayed slightly in the wind.

Seele watched this scene from the side, and her lips twitched.

She coughed lightly.

"Ahem! These are all... friends. I met them at the mine just now, they were a great help."

The people inside the room looked at each other.

A friend wearing pajamas?

Did you help me a lot?

The shirtless, burly man scratched his head.

"Butterfly, where did you find this?"

Xi'er glared at him.

"What do you mean 'found'? They're here to help with the boss's birthday party!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar voice came from the doorway.

"Wow! It's so lively today?"

Lin Si turned her head.

Then he saw a familiar figure.

Blue hair, red clothes, exposed waist, and a smug smile on his face.

Sambo.

He was carrying a package and peering curiously into the house.
