CHAPTER 204: CHAPTER 102 NEW WORLD [LEGENDARY GUARDIAN] AND OLD ACQUAINTANCE (5.6)_3

People sitting on the train have only heard others giving directions like this, but haven’t tried it themselves.

Since I’m here now, the terms are related to trains.

I might as well treat this life’s journey as being the ’freight truck driver’ in the world of reincarnation.

If there’s nothing special about this world, then I’ll organize my knowledge and take a leisurely ride on the train.

Just when Zhang Feng finished checking the train, he glanced out the window and saw Boss Long greeting a very peculiar person on the platform.

The reason he’s peculiar is that he’s wearing a shabby cotton-padded jacket in autumn and a fisherman’s hat on his head.

His face is wrapped in a ragged scarf, looking quite erratic.

But this outfit oddly resembles that of a wandering hero.

However, he doesn’t carry any martial arts skills, he’s just walking heavily and is quite strong.

Zhang Feng took a few glances and saw Boss Long joyfully embrace this person upon seeing him.

The person, however, disdainfully pushed him away.

Afterward, being at a distance and with the train station noisy, Zhang Feng couldn’t hear what they were saying, but based on lip reading, he gathered ’let’s talk on the train later.’

Zhang Feng, familiar with human mechanics and having police experience, could understand lip movements.

Meanwhile.

"Zhang Feng."

A few colleagues approached, "Want to get off for two or three minutes? Stretch a bit?"

The train was set to leave in 10 minutes.

Seven minutes had already passed.

A brief stroll of two or three minutes it was indeed.

"Okay." Zhang Feng nodded, not joining them in getting off, instead heading in the other direction.

Over there, Boss Long and the peculiar person were just about to board when they saw Zhang Feng preparing to disembark.

"Getting off, young master?" Boss Long asked cheerfully, offering a cigarette.

"Yeah, stretching my legs." Zhang Feng was ready to accept the cigarette as he was getting off.

The peculiar person suddenly removed his hat and scarf, then looked at Zhang Feng in surprise,

"You look strong, yet why are your steps so light?"

He said, looking suspiciously.

When Zhang Feng saw this person’s appearance, his pupils suddenly shook.

’Is he a VIP passenger?’

Zhang Feng didn’t expect to encounter him, especially in his prime!

Although the timing didn’t match, different worlds inherently operate on different timelines.

Except for [Prequel]

’What’s with that train attendant staring at me?’ The VIP passenger noticed Zhang Feng’s scrutiny, feeling puzzled.

Upon careful recollection, he confirmed he indeed didn’t know the train attendant.

"If not for this young master, I wouldn’t have caught you." Boss Long chuckled, introducing Zhang Feng, "This is my good buddy, Zhen Cunliang."

"Master Zhen, pleasure to meet you." Zhang Feng extended his hand, naturally introducing himself, "Zhang Feng."

"Cheers." The VIP passenger shook hands with Zhang Feng, feeling even more puzzled.

Clearly, he didn’t know this Zhang Feng, yet why did he seem familiar?

’So many peculiar people these days.’ The VIP passenger thought, ’Maybe I should retreat to the mountains, avoiding worldly troubles.’

’Does he possess Power?’ Shaking hands, Zhang Feng sensed martial prowess within the person.

But not of any known type of Power.

’Indeed impressive.’ Zhang Feng internally admired, ’Even in different worlds, different people can still grasp new things.’

Reflecting.

Zhang Feng then withdrew, "The train’s about to leave, don’t block the door, come aboard for a chat."

Upon boarding the train.

Not long after, passengers returned one after another.

"Hurry hurry, the train’s leaving!" A few staff members shouted at the door.

Zhang Feng, as a safety officer, could do similarly.

Yet now, the person before him is the VIP passenger.

Zhang Feng’s thoughts were focused more on him.

"Have you practiced martial arts?" The VIP passenger seemed to have a different mental process, asking Zhang Feng while pulling out a notebook used by elementary students,

"I’ve been pondering a set of martial arts, are you interested in having a look?"

’A manual?’ Zhang Feng noticed his casualness, accepting it.

"Let’s talk first." The VIP passenger handed over the manual, then joined Boss Long for a discussion.

Seeing his casual departure, Zhang Feng paused, then looked at the notebook.

Upon opening, he saw written prompts.

[You’ve encountered a fortuitous encounter]

[Elementary Manual: Green Mountain Cloud Technique]

[You’ve unlocked the Eight Extraordinary Meridians talent]

[Note: The talent of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians is limited by physique and martial arts]

Seeing the text, Zhang Feng then looked at his own attributes.

[Physique: 8.1]

[Martial Arts: 7.9]

[Eight Extraordinary Meridians: ≈8]

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians is the average of physique and martial arts.

Moreover, behind the Eight Extraordinary Meridians was a ’hidden option.’

Thinking it over, Zhang Feng decided to choose it for a cleaner view.

After all, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians consist of physique and martial arts, so it’s easy to remember.

’Now, besides Blood Qi and Powerful Qi, is there also Inner Strength?’

Zhang Feng pondered,

’If Inner Strength, Transformation Power, and Blood Qi could be integrated,

Wouldn’t it be possible to cultivate a "Three Points Returning to One Qi"?’

This is a substantial topic.

As Zhang Feng contemplated, he observed the VIP passenger.

The VIP passenger and Boss Long were discussing hunting in the mountains.

From their dialogue about ’being old friends for many years’ and ’no need for outside talk,’

Zhang Feng learned that Boss Long, in his youth, was a hunting enthusiast.

The VIP passenger lived in a mountain village.

They became friends in their youth, being companions for over twenty years.

As he listened,

Boss Long’s large phone rang.

"Let’s pause our conversation, I need to take a call." Boss Long stood up from his seat, moving to the area between carriages.

Woo woo~

The train departed.

Zhang Feng noticed the lonesome VIP passenger sitting there; he actually had many things he wanted to discuss, but the VIP passenger wasn’t like the one he knew.

After much thought.

Zhang Feng stepped forward a few paces, asking, "Have you eaten yet?"

...

"Thank you, young master!"

In the dining car, the VIP passenger ate heartily.

He consumed two boxes filled with rice and dishes.

Zhang Feng’s appetite was also sizable due to enhanced attributes, similar to his.

Those biscuits provided energy, yet didn’t affect meal quantity.

"Is it enough?" Zhang Feng relaxedly leaned into his seat after finishing his meal.

"More than enough." The VIP passenger rubbed his belly, then looked at Zhang Feng, finally smiling and saying, "Seeing your appetite, I knew you’re a natural talent!

I didn’t give my manual to the wrong person!"

"Perhaps." Zhang Feng yawned, "I also have some martial arts insights; I’ll find some paper and write them down for you."

"No need!" the VIP passenger waved his hand, "I’m just getting started with my manual; let me mull it over, practice it to Minor Achievement.

Wait a few years, perhaps three or four, or seven or eight, and we’ll meet again and discuss whatever then."

"Sounds good." Zhang Feng nodded.

After saying this, Zhang Feng looked towards the kitchen car.

A chubby chef in his thirties appeared, calling out to Zhang Feng, "Brother Zhang, was it enough for you? Want some more?"

"No, Brother Fatty." Zhang Feng recalled calling him Brother Fatty.

"Alright! If you need more, call me!" Brother Fatty shouted once more, then returned back.

"Sitting sleepy, I’ll head towards the back for some fresh air." The VIP passenger, now full and satisfied, stood up and headed towards the rear.

With nothing else to do, Zhang Feng followed him for a stroll.

Upon reaching the outside at the train’s rear.

Not even a couple seconds of wind.

The VIP passenger clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, Master Zhang, I’ll be leaving now."

Zhang Feng hadn’t responded yet.

The VIP passenger gracefully jumped onto the tracks.

"Oh..."

He stumbled a bit, nearly falling.

But then he smoothly turned around to bid farewell to Zhang Feng, who was getting further away, "The road of the rivers and lakes is long! Farewell!"

"..." Zhang Feng didn’t catch up to his sudden thought until half a second later, clasping his hands and shouting, "VIP passenger! Farewell!"

It was a completely instinctual shout from Zhang Feng.

"VIP passenger?" He heard the term, paused on the railway, pondered over it, and found the name quite fitting.

He then lifted his head, shouting towards the barely visible Zhang Feng, "Great name! Can you give it to me?"

Woo woo~

The train drove away.
