Starry Sky Railway: People on the train, nine to five

[Okay, this is train crew member Walter-Yang]

After getting in touch with the train crew, Zhou Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then simply informed the train crew about his lost phone.

After checking, the train crew also reported the situation of March 7 and others to Zhou Xiao.

"Caught?"

Zhou Xiao frowned slightly and fell into deep thought as he looked at the message from Walter.

The parsed information above said that Sanyueqi and Danheng encountered some trouble in the upper area, were captured by Beloberg's Silver Mane Iron Guards, and are currently on the run.

In the original book, the pioneering team was captured?

He thought about it carefully and found that it seemed not to be the case.

After getting some information from Walter, Zhou Xiao decided not to wait foolishly for the arrival of March 7 and others in the lower area.

There is something to say.

If the mountain doesn't come towards me, I will walk towards the mountain.

He decided to go to the upper area to meet up with Sanyueqi and others.

The main road leading to the upper area is the furnace core in the center, but most of it has been blocked. There are naturally unconventional routes as well. Zhou Xiao found out the route after asking Swarovski.

...

Before leaving, Zhou Xiao planned to go to Scott to withdraw some money.

Recently, the fighting club in the lower area has attracted a large number of audiences by relying on the name Kun Fengzhe. He occasionally goes to the fighting club to fight, which has increased the ticket price of the fighting club a lot.

At this moment.

Inside the fight club.

Scott sat in the boss chair, leisurely counting the coins in his hand. The stink of money clung to his slightly hunched body, making him look like a very unscrupulous businessman.

"Boss... three more died today. Together with the child who died yesterday, a total of sixteen people died this week." One of his men came up and reported to Scott in a low voice.

"Old rules, old rules." Scott didn't take it to heart. He waved his hand and asked his men to handle it.

Money.

It is said to be lucrative, and it really is lucrative.

Scott sat in the boss chair, thinking about his business acumen these days, and couldn't help but want to praise himself as a genius.

Using the gimmick of Kun Fengzhe and the temptation of high bonuses, he launched a "Star Boxer" plan. He first released the news that Kun Fengzhe was the one who stood out from the star boxer plan. In order to create a strong gimmick, he also deliberately let his men spread how miserable Kun Fengzhe was before he participated in the star boxer plan.

When the discussion became heated, he began to use this strong gimmick to recruit students and charge tuition fees, attracting a large number of low-level people who wanted to get rich overnight.

How much money can you get by buying a ticket...

Tuition is king.

In order to cater to the level of consumption, he deliberately set the tuition fees of the Star Plan very low at the beginning, and then the tuition fees increased little by little as the plan progressed, so that students would feel that they had already spent so much and it would be a loss if they quit at this time.

Dear, the course progress has reached 99.8, and only 0.02 is left. You can become the second star boxer who is comparable to Kun Fengzhe.

Dear, the course progress has been completed to 99.99%. As long as you pay a little more, you will be just one step away from becoming rich overnight.

relative...

It was this constant temptation of "cutting one's teeth at a time", coupled with high-interest tuition loans, that allowed Scott to quickly accumulate a large amount of wealth.

As for whether these students can really get rich by going through the Star Plan, Scott can only say... there is a chance. The students who can go through the Star Plan will be thrown into the competition where Zhou Xiao participates.

Defeating Zhou Xiao will win you a big prize, but the second prize is not that impressive. The prize money you get is at least four-fifths less than the money spent on completing the entire star plan.

"These days... only things with selling points can catch people's attention, and things without selling points also need to create hype..."

When Scott was marveling at his brain that was capable of running a business empire, another of his subordinates came hurriedly to report.

"Boss, Kun Feng is here..."

"Kun Feng?"

Hearing this name, Scott became much more energetic. He put away the handfuls of coins, took off the expensive rings on his hands one by one and put them together with the coins, and then ordered people to bring Kun Feng over.

"Boss Shi, I'm here to get the money." Zhou Xiao stated the purpose of his visit straight away. He only came to get his share.

"Brother Kun..."

When Scott heard that Zhou Xiao was here to ask for money, he instantly revealed a bitter expression: "Brother Kun, you also know that your popularity has declined recently, and the number of tickets sold is much less than before."

"So the share of money this time may not be as much as last time..."

Scott ordered his servants to take a share of the money and put it in front of Zhou Xiao, then pointed at the money and said, "That's all..."

Zhou Xiao frowned slightly as he looked at the coin which had shrunk by one-fifth compared to the last time.

He came to Scott's three times in total. His income was pretty good the first time, but it was less than the first the second time. And the third time it was less than the second time.

It would be fine if the benefits were really bad.

Every time Zhou Xiao came up to fight in a ring match, he found that there were more spectators than before.

"Really...is that all?" Zhou Xiao asked, looking at Scott's old face with calm eyes.

"Really...that's all." Scott replied.

"That's really all there is?!"

Zhou Xiao gently grasped the hilt of the knife worn on his left waist with his left hand.

"..." Scott stared at the long sword that seemed to be unsheathed, and suddenly his mind recalled the scene of Kun Feng's 17 consecutive victories, and he swallowed silently.

"Actually... the ticket sales are indeed not good, but... since you and I get along well, I will give you a bonus privately..."

Scott chickened out.

Silently replenish the money to the last amount.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiao moved his left hand away from the hilt of the knife.

A black-hearted profiteer.

This is Zhou Xiao’s evaluation of Scott.

He would not like to communicate too much with such people, because he might not be able to resist and kill such profiteers.

Chapter 33 He just wanted to live, what was wrong with him?

After taking his share of the money, Zhou Xiao glanced at Scott and chose to leave. After watching Zhou Xiao leave the club with a smile on his face, Scott's face gradually became gloomy.

"What's the big deal? You're still taking my money..."

Scott snorted coldly and put his hands behind his back. He felt that there was no reason for a vulgar person like Zhou Xiao to pretend to be noble in front of him. He looked as if he didn't want to fight, but he was actually very excited when he received the money.

"I will replace you sooner or later..."

Scott turned and left, his every move being monitored by the Dihuo members outside the club.

...

On the other side, Zhou Xiao got the money and set Jarvis, who was not far away, to follow mode, and then prepared to go to the upper area according to the passage location given by Swarovski.

"Are you serious?" Just as Zhou Xiao passed by the area where the Mole Gang often moved around, he clearly heard Hook's slightly childish voice.

"Let's go and take a look. If it's true... we must avenge Knight Hao of Stone!"

Knight of Stone?

When he heard this title, Zhou Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Isn’t this talking about Xiao Hao?

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have not seen Xiao Hao for two or three days.

"Grim Owl Knight!"

Hook was walking towards them with a group of Mole Party members, and he saw Zhou Xiao at a glance.

"?"

"Either call me Brother Zhou or call me Brother Xiao! Don't call me the Cold Owl Knight!" Zhou Xiao corrected seriously.

"Okay, Knight of the Grim Owl!" Hook's tender little face would show the same serious look.

Zhou Xiao: “…”

It has to be you.

Dark Hook.

"What did you just say about revenge for Xiao Hao?" Zhou Xiao asked.

When Hook, who had a serious face, heard the word "Xiao Hao", he suddenly started to "wooo".

"Grim Owl Knight, they say...Stone Hao Knight is dead."

"?!"

Zhou Xiao's expression was stunned at this moment.

His first reaction was disbelief.

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

He came to see him with candies two days ago, how could he die today?

"Are you sure?"

Listening to Zhou Xiao's question, Hook said tearfully: "It was my Corporal He who said that..."

Upon hearing this, Corporal He repeated what he had seen and heard this morning. Basically, he and another friend went to the mining area last night to explore a small cave. As a result, when they came out of the cave, they saw two adults dragging two corpses towards them in the dark.

They were very scared but didn't say anything. After the two adults left, they mustered up the courage to take a look out of adventurous spirit and saw Xiao Hao's body.

Of course, they thought Xiao Hao might still be alive, so they carried Xiao Hao and hurried to Natasha's clinic, but unfortunately they were still a step too late.

After hearing this story, Zhou Xiao also came to Natasha's clinic under the leadership of the Mole Party.

Looking at the clinic with the eyeball in it, Zhou Xiao felt a little unreal. He pushed the door and walked in. Natasha was still busy treating patients. There was no extra bed in the clinic for Xiao Hao, a child who had already lost his life.

Xiao Hao was simply placed outside the back door.

silence.

Still silent.

The moment they saw Xiao Hao's body, all the children in the Mole Gang burst into tears. They were all sad that they had lost a playmate.

Zhou Xiao was extremely calm, so calm that it made people feel depressed.

In the field of vision, Xiao Hao's pale body had injuries of varying degrees, and bruises scattered on almost every inch of skin.

serene.

So peaceful.

Zhou Xiao had seen Xiao Hao sleeping. This child always slept very lightly and would wake up at the slightest movement. But now... Xiao Hao was lying on a small bed, as if he was dreaming.

"No! We, the Mole Party, must avenge Knight Hao of Stone!" Hook wiped away his tears and spoke to the Mole Party with an angry face.

"Revenge..." Zhou Xiao, who was a little dazed, was a little too calm at this moment: "Revenge? Where to take revenge? Who should I seek revenge on?"

"..."

When this question was asked, all the Mole Party members present were stunned.

Yes.

How can they take revenge?

They didn't even know what the adult carrying Xiao Hao's body looked like.

In an environment like the Lower District, where a certain order is barely maintained amidst chaos and the law of the jungle, who would care about the death of an ordinary child?

What's more... this is a child whose parents have both passed away and who has done anything big to attract other people's attention...

...

"Brother, what do you think the ground looks like?

"The ground is covered with snow. There is basically no life except for the planet Beloberg..."
