Survival on a Bus: School Beauty Sisters Beg for a Place to Stay

"What the hell? What kind of vest is this? What am I supposed to wear in this sweltering heat?"

Sure enough, although this burly man was broad-shouldered and imposing, he was obviously just naturally strong. His dark skin had nothing to do with fitness. Perhaps it was because of his age or social circle, but he simply did not understand some of the words that women who love beauty often use.

This further proves that the middle-aged man was a real passenger.

But out of curiosity, Lin Mo still turned to Pu Mengnan and asked her a question.

"What question did you ask him?"

Pu Mengnan answered without hesitation:

"Oh, I told him to memorize the periodic table."

"Holy shit..."

Hearing this, Lin Mo was also stunned, his lips twitched, and he had to give the woman a thumbs up.

"You're really ruthless."

Yes, aside from professionals who specialize in chemistry and some students, who among ordinary people could memorize it?

The reason this burly man was so angry was probably related to Pu Mengnan's insistence that he memorize the periodic table of elements.

"Hey, you two have looked and asked, can't you let me get on the bus now?"

Seeing that there were less than three minutes left until midnight, Lin Mo didn't delay any longer, nodded, and went to open the car door.

But as soon as he took a step, Pu Mengnan grabbed his wrist.

"Lin Mo..."

Although she didn't say anything, Lin Mo could tell from her nervous and uneasy eyes that she was afraid and unwilling to take in that troublemaker outside.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lin Mo patted the soft back of her hand and went straight to open the car door.

"Are you two fucking crazy? You're dawdling over opening the door, asking questions, and wanting to do an examination. Do you want me to strip naked and give you a proper check right now?"

Sure enough, this troublemaker was no pushover. He immediately revealed his true colors as soon as he got on the bus, acting all high and mighty and grumbling. He even pulled out a broken razor blade from somewhere and started playing with it in his hand.

"Kid, you're the conductor, right? I don't care about those stupid rules. From now on, you all have to listen to me. I'm the one who calls the shots on this vehicle. And this little chick, tsk tsk tsk... she's got some hot stuff. Didn't you already check me out? Now it's my turn to check you out, hehe..."

Seeing that this guy not only ignored him, but also the gun in his hand, and even set his sights on Pu Mengnan, Lin Mo didn't know whether to say he was brainless or too arrogant.

He didn't bother with any more words and fired a shot.

Bang~~~

With a loud bang, the burly man immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Ah~~~"

Lin Mo certainly wouldn't kill him; at least the burly man couldn't die before the highway currency was settled.

So his shot avoided a vital spot, only hitting the burly man's thigh.

"Who are you trying to scare with that broken knife, you old codger? Didn't your mother teach you to keep a low profile when you're out in public?"

"I was wrong, brother, I really know I was wrong, please spare me, don't kill me... Ah~~~"

The burly man was now filled with deep regret.

The player rules didn't provide much information about the commander, and given that guns are prohibited in China, he never expected Lin Mo to have a real gun; he always thought the kid was just using a toy to scare people.

He couldn't even care less about the pain now. He hurriedly threw away the tattered razor blade in his hand, endured the pain, knelt down in front of Lin Mo, and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Lin Mo, keeping someone like that on the bus is just asking for trouble. Why don't we just kick him off..."

Pu Mengnan was unaware of Lin Mo's intentions. Seeing that he didn't kill the man directly, she assumed that he was trying to earn highway credits and was reluctant to waste them.

But the thought of the disgusting, lewd expression on his face when he looked at her just now made her shudder. She was afraid that this bastard was now pretending to be honest because he was afraid of death, but he would take advantage of their inattention and bully her, or even plot to kill Lin Mo and take his place.

Therefore, even though Pu Mengnan couldn't be so ruthless as to completely eliminate this scumbag, she still rationally hoped that Lin Mo would drive him away so that he wouldn't have to see him anymore.

"Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon."

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, all three, including the burly man, received a system notification.

[Ding! Dear Train Commander, today's settlement statement has been issued. Please check it!]

Lin Mo had been eagerly anticipating the highway currency settlement, so he immediately opened the settlement form without any hesitation.

Settlement Provider: Lin Mo;

Player role: Tank Commander;

Passenger capacity: 2 people;

Reward: 200 Highway Coins;

Additional earnings: 40 highway credits. (Passengers will pay an additional 20% of their personal earnings for the ride.)

Total earnings for today: 240 Highway Coins.

Current Highway Coin balance: 240 Highway Coins.

The settlement statement was simple yet clear.

What surprised Lin Mo the most was the fact that passengers paid 20% of the fare. He had only mentioned it to Pu Mengnan before, but he didn't expect the system to not only deduct it directly, but also deduct the burly man's share. It couldn't be more convenient, and it saved him the trouble of collecting it from each passenger individually.

But the next second, before the burly man could even forget his pain and feel excited because he had just obtained highway coins that could improve his strength, the dark muzzle of a gun was pressed directly against his forehead.

"Big brother, what are you going to do?"

Although the burly man had to bow down and submit because of the truth in Lin Mo's hands, how could someone like him really submit?

He had originally planned to use highway coins to awaken his superpowers and buy weapons. Once he had the strength and the truth, he could take revenge, seize power, and conquer beautiful women.

But before he could even carry it out, a gun was pointed at his own forehead.

Give me all your highway tolls.

Lin Mo had gotten what he wanted, but before executing the strong man, he still needed to verify his guess.

That's right. Before killing the man, Lin Mo didn't want to waste the highway coins in his hand. Compared to the possibility of getting highway coins from killing someone, he would rather try to see if robbery was feasible first.

"Brother, you're not giving me a way to make a living! Thirty, can I give you another thirty?"

Faced with the burly man's expression as if his mother had died, Lin Mo didn't waste any words and directly gave the number.

"three......"

"Fifty, I'm willing to hand over fifty."

"two......"

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay...?"

Sure enough, this guy was just a paper tiger who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Even if he was a thousand or ten thousand times unhappy and hated the ruthless Lin Mo, he had no choice but to admit defeat in the face of the truth.

In the end, the burly man obediently handed over the remaining 80 highway coins.

Bang~~~

The moment the money arrived, another loud crash echoed through the bus, and the burly man, his eyes still bulging with resentment, collapsed to the ground.

It wasn't until Pu Mengnan saw the strong man die that she realized Lin Mo had never intended to take him in from the beginning; everything he did was for the highway currency on the strong man's body.

So how does he treat me?

Is he truly willing to accept me?

Or is it just exploitation?

Once I'm no longer of any use to you, will I end up like this scumbag, physically exorcised?

"Clean up the bloodstains."

It wasn't until Lin Mo spoke again that Pu Mengnan came to her senses and realized that the burly man's body had been kicked off the car. She hurriedly went to get water and rags to clean up the bloodstains...

"Lin Mo, will you kill me?"

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, Pu Mengnan couldn't help but ask what was on her mind.
