Chapter 105: Encountering Robbers
The next morning, Shi Lin and the others got up early.
The group met up directly in the restaurant.
Shi An had already ordered breakfast, and it smelled delicious.
Shi Lin and the others sat down in chairs to eat.
"According to our itinerary, we will be camping in the wild tonight. The necessary camping supplies have been prepared, so even if we stay outside, you won't have a bad rest."
"I'll drive myself today, Sister Lin will take the first half of the night shift, and Lao Ao will take the second half. Tomorrow, Lao Ma will drive. That way, we can take turns, which will make things easier. What do you all think?" Shi Lin said to the people in front of him.
Shi An and Lin Yu naturally had no objections; whatever Shi Lin said was right to them.
As for having Ma Hongjun drive and Oscar keep watch, the two not only had no objections, but were actually quite happy about it.
"Great! We can finally drive!" Ma Hongjun said excitedly. He watched Shi An drive so impressively, so he wanted to try it out too.
As for Oscar, he was still a bit insecure, but when he heard that he could contribute to the team, he nodded excitedly.
"Okay, let's hurry up and eat. After we finish eating, we'll set off," Shi Lin said, waving his hand.
The group immediately began to eat.
Before Shi Lin could even take his third bite, the waiter came to his side.
"Young master, everything you requested has been prepared and is located in the backyard of the hotel," the waiter said respectfully and obsequiously to Shi Lin.
After all, it's been years since we've encountered a customer as generous as Shi Lin.
"You guys eat first, I'll go check what I ordered," Shi Lin said to the people in front of him, then stood up and left the restaurant with the waiter.
Soon, the two arrived at the hotel's backyard, where there was a wooden mobile stable that could accommodate five horses, five small wooden huts each with a volume of ten cubic meters, and a dozen bundles of hay.
These stables and wooden huts were all built by these carpenters last night, and judging from their appearance, they probably didn't sleep all night.
"Thank you all for your hard work last night. Here's a reward." Shi Lin took out a dozen or so silver soul coins from his pocket and distributed them to the carpenters.
"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" The carpenters were so excited they couldn't speak. One silver soul coin was enough for them to earn a month's wages.
Last night, after Shi Lin told the waiter to leave, he suddenly felt that since he had already woken up the carpenters, he might as well let them work overtime to do something.
So Shi Lin spent about ten minutes drawing two simple blueprints: one for the stable and one for the wooden house.
Shi Lin's design was relatively simple, so after finding more than a dozen carpenters, the log cabin was built.
Shi Lin arrived at the stable and the cabin and began to inspect them carefully, confirming that the materials used were solid and the craftsmanship was quite good.
These carpenters were able to create these things overnight; that's Shi Lin's money power!
"Alright, everyone go back now. I still need to tidy up the things inside." Shi Lin waved his hand, signaling the waiters and carpenters to leave.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, these people left the hotel's backyard with profuse thanks.
After watching everyone leave, Shi Lin casually waved his hand, and the stable and hay entered his personal space. As for the few small wooden houses, Shi Lin threw them into his soul tool.
After finishing these tasks, Shi Lin clapped his hands and went straight back to the hotel restaurant. Ma Hongjun and the others had already finished eating and were waiting for him.
"Have you finished eating?" Shi Lin asked the people in front of him.
"We're done eating," Ma Hongjun and the others responded loudly.
"Alright, let's go!" Shi Lin waved his hand and then led the group out of the hotel.
Soon the group boarded the carriage, with Shi Lin driving it himself. Before setting off, he checked the direction on a map.
This was also Shi Lin's first time driving, but he had often watched Shi An drive, so he had basically learned how.
And so, after leaving this unknown little town, they sped off towards Tiandou City.
...
Time flew by and it was evening.
As the sun set, Shi Lin slowly brought the carriage to a stop.
"It's getting late, let's rest here tonight. Let's cook a meal and enjoy the fun of camping in the wild," Shi Lin said to the people in the carriage after stopping the carriage.
After Shi Lin brought the carriage to a stop, he glanced at the surroundings and then checked the map to make sure he hadn't led the wrong way.
Then, Shi Lin jumped off the carriage, found a flat spot, took out five small wooden houses, and used them to fence off an open space.
Ma Hongjun and the others jumped down from the carriage. Shi An and Lin Yu immediately began preparing dinner, while Ma Hongjun and Oscar gathered firewood nearby to start a fire later.
As the campfire was lit, Ma Hongjun took out the food he had prepared earlier, heated it up, and then the group sat down at the table to start eating.
The food was all prepared by chefs from Shijiazhuang, and it tasted fantastic.
The group enjoyed a comfortable meal.
"Have you eaten and drunk your fill? Sister Lin Yu will be on duty for the first half of the night, and Old Ao will be on duty for the second half. Everyone else, go back and get some rest," Shi Lin said with a smile to the people in front of him.
"Yes, young master!" Lin Yu nodded and then sat down in the center of the camp.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were a little full, so they rubbed their stomachs, chose a room, and then checked in.
Shi Lin, Shi An, and Lin Yu all tacitly threw out the Gu worms in their hands, scattering them around. If anyone approached, the Gu worms could awaken them immediately.
Although someone is keeping watch at night, the Gu worm's help is still more reliable.
After doing all that, Shi Lin returned to his room and began cultivating.
This is the wilderness after all, so it's unlikely that Shi Lin can sleep peacefully here.
Time passed slowly, and in the early hours of the morning, Shi Lin heard Lin Yu waking Oscar up.
But just as the two were handing over their shifts, the Gu worm in Shi Lin's hand suddenly gave a warning.
Someone is approaching!
Shi Lin immediately exited his cultivation state and then walked out of his room.
At that moment, Shi An also came out of his room. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with caution.
Lin Yu was reminding Oscar, who nervously leaned against the wall. After all, he was just a food-type Soul Master with no combat power whatsoever.
Hearing the noise outside, Ma Hongjun tiptoed out of the room and came to Shi Lin's side.
"Brother Lin, what happened?" Ma Hongjun asked Shi Lin.
"Someone is approaching, probably robbers or bandits," Shi Lin whispered to Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened instantly. He hadn't expected to be robbed on his first trip out.
Although Ma Hongjun didn't know the reason, he tried to make some guesses.
We probably spent too much money today, making people think we're easy targets.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. If it gets too bad, we'll just run away." Shi Lin gently patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder and whispered.
Shi Lin gave Shi An and Lin Yu a hand gesture, and then the three of them together controlled the Gu worms to attack these people.
Shi Lin and Shi An exchanged a glance, then nodded cautiously. The two of them simultaneously controlled the Gu worms to launch an attack.
The next second!
"ah!"
A scream suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a series of screams rang out.
"So fragile? Isn't he a Soul Master?" Shi Lin frowned and asked Shi An.
Shi An frowned, then nodded.
The Gu worms in Shi Lin and Shi An's hands are both first-tier top-grade Gu worms, which can only be effective against Soul Masters below level 20.
Judging from their screams, they were probably ordinary people without any cultivation. If they were Soul Masters, their Soul Rings would be flying everywhere by now.
"Old Ma, light the lamp, shall we go take a look?" Shi Lin immediately put on his armor, took a short knife, and walked out of the room.
Shi An also put on armor and followed closely behind Shi Lin, carefully watching the surrounding environment.
Ma Hongjun, also dressed in armor, followed Shi Lin and Shi An out.
