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

All that effort went wrong, but all I made was two yuan and fifty cents.

Although Lin Mo had the advantage of abundant supplies and set the price very low, the tank commanders had only just earned their first income and were not well-off. Rather than filling their stomachs, they preferred to use their limited highway currency to repair vehicles, modify them for survival, and improve their combat capabilities.

But looking at the half-full truck of supplies, Lin Mo felt uneasy if he didn't take the opportunity to make a profit.

It wasn't until they discovered that in addition to the vehicle manager, there was an unavailable passenger option in the customer settings of the trading platform.

Lin Mo's mind immediately started working.

Since the bus driver can't earn highway tolls immediately, why not choose to take more passengers?

Compared to train drivers, passengers are the larger consumer group. Moreover, considering the selfishness of human nature, in the early stages of survival when resources are extremely scarce, most train drivers will definitely take advantage of the fact that passengers cannot harm them and that they have the privilege of unilaterally deciding whether to take in passengers to monopolize more resources for their own protection.

Conversely, passengers who only receive a small amount of supplies are left to starve, and may even kill each other for food.

So, compared to some unfortunate train captains who didn't collect much supplies today, or even returned empty-handed, they had to suffer in silence in order to repair and modify their vehicles and ensure they could continue to live tomorrow.

But the passengers didn't have these concerns. They were more concerned about whether they could survive, and since filling their stomachs is the most basic human need, they were naturally more willing to pay money to fill their stomachs first.

If a bus driver wants to open a trade route and allow passengers other than those on the bus to trade across regions, they will need to pay an additional opening fee of 100 highway coins.

It's quite expensive; it hurts to even think about it.

The thought that if he opened a new trading channel, he would only have a pitiful 2 Highway Coins left in his hands made Lin Mo's heart bleed, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, Lin Mo couldn't guarantee that his guess was correct, and whether he could make money was still unknown.

Moreover, there are still nearly 24 hours until the next settlement period. No one can guarantee that they won't encounter danger in the next 24 hours. If they really don't make any money and then have an accident that requires car repairs but they don't have the money to pay for the repairs, then they will really be considered stupid.

Pu Mengnan?

Lin Mo unconsciously raised his head and his gaze fell on the beautiful woman who was still busy cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground. A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Sure enough, Lin Mo, that shameless guy, has his eye on the remaining 80 highway coins in Pu Mengnan's hand again.

Of course, he didn't intend to use the same short-sighted methods he used against the strong man to deal with Pu Mengnan. This time, he planned to borrow, and in a way that would be repaid.

Lin Mo, thick-skinned and not feeling embarrassed about borrowing money, went straight to the point:

"Nannan, I want to talk to you about something."

Nan Nan? ??

Hearing the man suddenly call her by such a cheesy nickname, Pu Mengnan was taken aback, and then her pretty face turned red, revealing a little shyness.

"you say......"

While responding, Pu Mengnan's heart was pounding with excitement and she felt a little nervous.

She wondered what this man meant.

Why did you suddenly change how you address me, and start calling me so mushy?

Could it be...?

Oh my god, no way, no way, does he want to do *that* with me?

Was he finally attracted by my beauty and couldn't resist trying to take advantage of me?

What should I do?

We've only just met, isn't this all too fast? I'm not mentally prepared yet. Should I reject him?

But if I refuse him and anger him, will he get angry and force himself on me in a fit of rage? If I struggle and resist, will I get beaten?

But if I don't resist and immediately agree, will he look down on me and think I'm that kind of promiscuous, shameless, cheap woman?

No, I'm not that kind of woman. I can't let him look down on me, I can't just give myself away so easily. I have to resist. I have to clearly tell him that forced love may quench thirst, but it's not sweet. A melon needs to be ripe to be sweet...

Lin Mo had no idea about Pu Mengnan's complex and conflicted inner thoughts. When he saw Pu Mengnan stop her work and look at him, he immediately told her that he wanted to borrow money.

"No, I'm not a casual woman. Please give me the most basic respect. I'll only give myself to you if you can at least show me that you're a reliable man."

"Well......"

Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded.

"Hey sis, I just want to borrow some money, what are you thinking?"

"Huh? What did you say? Borrow, borrow money?"

Well, Pu Mengnan blushed instantly, so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. It was too humiliating, so incredibly humiliating. All she could think about was Lin Mo asking her for something, and the prepared words just slipped out of her mouth. She hadn't noticed that Lin Mo had asked to borrow highway currency, not to discuss the volume of applause with her.

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Mo rolled his eyes in annoyance, but then a mischievous smile crept onto his lips.

"But what you said does remind me. It really wouldn't be very interesting for us, a lone man and woman, to stay out all night without doing something. As for respect... I think, actions speak louder than words. It takes time for feelings to develop, and the longer it goes on, the more respect there will be. So..."

Before Lin Mo could finish speaking, Pu Mengnan, her face burning red to the roots of her neck, hurriedly interrupted him coquettishly, saying...

"Lend me, lend me any amount, I'll give you all the 80 yuan I have left..."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Mo to ask for it, Pu Mengnan took the initiative to hand over all of her 80 road coins to Lin Mo, and then hid behind the car pretending to be dead.

"..."

After receiving 80 from Pu Mengnan, Lin Mo now had 182 Highway Coins left. Now that he had no more worries, he didn't hesitate and directly chose to spend 100 Highway Coins to enable the player trading option. He put some supplies up for sale and doubled the cheap price he originally gave to the vehicle commander.

"Nannan, go to the passenger world channel and shout that there is food and drinking water for sale in the trading channel. The quantity is limited, so act fast."

"Um......"

Pu Mengnan is feeling very depressed right now.

She didn't know what kind of emotion she was feeling. Embarrassment? Angry? Or disappointed? She didn't know, she just felt suffocated.

She responded irritably to Lin Mo's request for her to promote the product.

Of course, his complicated feelings did not affect Pu Mengnan's thinking. He guessed that Lin Mo wanted to sell the supplies they had collected. Based on the principle of sticking with someone's coattails to the end, and the absolute trust that everything Lin Mo did was for their survival, Pu Mengnan did not compromise on his request, even though he was depressed. He immediately posted the relevant information in the passenger chat channel as Lin Mo instructed.

Sure enough, transaction information kept popping up on the screen. Although most people were complaining in the chat channel that the prices were too high, it did not affect the transaction speed on Lin Mo's side. In less than half an hour, the water and food that Lin Mo had put up were sold out, and his balance soared from 82 road credits to 649 road credits.

Without any hesitation or thought, Lin Mo immediately chose to awaken his superpower.

Although the vehicle is their home, a safe haven, their personal strength determines whether they will live on meager rations or sell half of what they have on the road ahead. At present, most vehicle commanders are still living on the poverty line, going hungry one day and full the next, so naturally no well-equipped vehicle can threaten them. Therefore, Lin Mo chose to take the lead and be the first to try this business before other vehicle commanders started doing it.

Only in this way can he maintain his advantage and remain invincible even if he faces threats from other tank commanders in the future.

I just wonder what kind of superpower he'll awaken...
