A long whistle sounded, and black smoke billowed from the locomotive's chimney.
The ghost train is about to depart!
"call--"
"Thank goodness, I made it in time."
Jiang Qiao rushed onto the train a second before the doors closed.
After scavenging money from three beggars in the passageway, he also broke their limbs.
He then quickly went to the ticket window and spent a large sum of money to buy a VIP seat ticket.
Even with his amazing stamina, the round trip took him six or seven minutes.
I almost missed boarding the train.
You know, when I bought the ticket, that deadpan guy said that train tickets are invalid if they expire!
In other words, if the ticket he buys now is not used for this trip, it becomes useless, and he must buy a new one next time.
Refunds and rebooking are not supported.
"Oh right, I think I forgot to mention that flight attendant's name, what was it, Yanli?"
Jiang Qiao suddenly remembered.
The train attendant who also worked part-time as a scalper selling train tickets mentioned his name when I asked him to buy the ticket.
However, in his haste, Jiang Qiao forgot about it.
"Forget it, even if I give you my name, I won't get a discount."
"That bastard, he's obviously trying to make money off of this debt."
He shook his head, dismissing the thought, and began to examine the so-called VIP carriage.
Strictly speaking, he is currently in the connecting carriage leading to the VIP carriage.
Compared to the regular carriages, this place felt less oppressive and more lively.
Various oil paintings hung on the surrounding walls, and exquisite vases were placed under the windowsill. Even the lighting looked warm and bright, without a trace of gloom.
Jiang Qiao walked briskly forward on the soft carpet.
"You really get what you pay for. High-end shopping areas are different; art shines everywhere."
He glanced at the pattern on the carpet, which had a somewhat poignant feel reminiscent of Japanese adult films, and there was no mosaic over the crucial parts.
Thumbs up!
As Jiang Qiao sighed, he walked to the door and lightly swiped the glittering card in his hand on the door.
"Ding-dong!"
"Welcome, Mr. Jiang, to the VIP lounge. Your presence makes this train journey even more special."
As the sweet voice rang out, the surrounding scenery began to change.
The original cramped carriage was gone, replaced by two huge crystal doors, sparkling and exuding an air of nobility.
Two paper figures dressed in formal attire and wearing bow ties slowly opened the door and gestured for the door to open.
"Fourth tier!"
Jiang Qiao's gaze sharpened immediately upon seeing the two ghosts dressed as servants.
Holy crap!
"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was deeply shocked.
These fourth-tier vengeful ghosts, who once dominated the area, are only fit to be waiters here?
How can you expect those humans who consider themselves superior to be worthy of respect?
"Hello, sir, please come in."
The two attendants said respectfully.
However, as they smiled, some white powder began to fall from their faces.
And those two blushes looked even more vibrant.
Jiang Qiao nodded calmly, trying to appear worldly-wise, and stepped inside.
...
Although the VIP carriage is called a carriage, it is actually a ghost town.
This place is vast, covering thousands of square meters, and looks like an indoor plaza!
On both sides of the square are luxuriously decorated shops with flashing neon lights.
Among them are restaurants filled with the aroma of food, as well as boutique shops selling local specialties.
There was also a massage parlor called "Big Player Bath Center" with flashing red advertising lights.
Continuing along the store, every so often there is a frosted glass door with the words "VIP Lounge" written on it.

Its magnificent and resplendent appearance almost blinded Jiang Qiao.
"Holy crap."
"So there's a wealth gap even in the supernatural world!"
Jiang Qiao exclaimed in surprise.
Think back to the ordinary train carriage I was in before, where a bunch of beggars were crammed together, and the smell alone could kill you!
Originally, Mr. Jiang thought he was a seasoned veteran.
I have seen many rotting corpses and smelled all sorts of strange and pungent stench.
Putting everything else aside, the smell of the morgues in Gujing Village made him question the meaning of life!
However, compared to beggars, he knew what it meant to be out of reach, out of the worst, and out to be even worse than the worst!
"From now on, you must buy a VIP ticket to take the train."
Jiang Qiao nodded in satisfaction.
After surveying the surrounding scenery, he decided not to go to the VIP lounge for the time being, but instead to wander around.
Soon, his gaze was drawn to several scantily clad, hourglass-shaped female ghosts.
"That 'Millionaire Private Spa' looks pretty good; the young lady at the entrance looks very professional in her clothes and appearance."
"That 'Golden Brilliant Dongguan-Style Massage' sounds very unique just from its name..."
Finally, Jiang Qiao turned a corner and entered a store called "Cat and Dog Fresh Food".
...
Welcome to Cat & Dog Fresh Food!
The female ghost at the door bowed politely and gave a kind smile.
If her mouth didn't split to her ears, she would actually be quite pretty.
"This looks like a place that sells food and drinks."
Jiang Qiao examined the items on the shelves, sensing the eerie atmosphere emanating from them, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
I picked up a beautifully packaged box at random, and inside was a bright red heart.
Even more so, Jiangqiao could still see that it was still pulsating slightly.
I glanced at the product label, and the ingredient list read:
"Third-Tier Awakener's Heart" has a shelf life of 24 hours. Expired or unsold products should be placed in the recycling area.
"It's actually the heart of an Awakened One!"
"And it's at the third tier."
Jiang Qiao's eyes narrowed as he looked at the words above.
In many human villages, a third-tier unit is already considered a core force.
For example, in the area where the No. 404 beginner village is located, the other villages combined only have one fourth-tier player, and most of the village leaders are only at the peak of the third tier.
However, such talent can only be reduced to food in this restaurant!
He continued walking forward.
Grilled pig brain, salted human liver, sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, and wife cakes gradually appeared on the shelves...
Without a doubt, these are all genuine products.
In particular, he saw a dish called "Eighteen Turns of Large Intestines," whose ingredient list actually stated "Selected fresh large intestines from fourth-grade humans"!
He was utterly shocked!
"Even fourth-tier humans have become food!"
He stared intently at the bright red, juicy intestines, a chill running through him.
The owner of this large intestine was probably once a dominant force in the human world, respected and worshipped by countless people.
However, now... it's placed on the shelf.
"Hello sir, how can I help you?"
Just as Jiang Qiao felt a pang of sympathy for his comrades dying, a polite greeting came from beside him.
He turned around and saw a young man in work clothes looking at him with concern.
Are all these ingredients genuine?
Although he already had the answer in his heart, Jiang Qiao still asked the question.
The waiter smiled slightly and said confidently:
"Rest assured, our food is made with the finest ingredients. We guarantee to compensate tenfold for any counterfeit product!"
"For example, this dish of eighteen-turn large intestines that you've taken a liking to."
"We used a raw extraction method to remove the large intestine. When this dish was served, the human was not even dead yet."
"Our fresh cat and dog products are a guarantee of quality!"
After saying that, the ghostly waiter puffed out his chest and showed a proud expression.
