Chapter 260: An Fat's Plan
Chapter 260: An Fat's Plan
After explaining the situation to An Fat and the two female classmates, they soon passed through the ticket gate and boarded the platform.
Since they had purchased the tickets this morning, Li Dad and Li Mom were not in the same carriage as the group of four.
The high-speed train pulled into the platform, and unlike the previous occasions, this time they were not boarding the Thunderbolt Express but the Thunder Express.
Upon entering the carriage and finding their seats, they had barely settled down when the train started moving. An Fat took out some snacks from his storage equipment and placed them on the small table.
Looking at the snacks piled on the table, Li Qian couldn't help but chuckle, "No wonder you've gained another ring of fat after a summer break. With your eating habits, it's no surprise you're getting fatter."
"Hehe, sitting on the train and not eating something would be boring," An Fat replied nonchalantly to Li Qian's teasing. As he spoke, he handed a bag of potato chips to Li Qian.
Li Qian didn't hesitate to take the chips and started eating.
An Fat followed suit, offering some snacks to Li Lanying, who was sitting next to him.
Strangely enough, An Fat's seat was originally supposed to be Tu Jiaojiao's. However, as soon as they found their seats, before Tu Jiaojiao could say anything, Li Lanying suggested, "Why don't we girls sit together? It'll be more convenient."
Tu Jiaojiao was about to say something, but Li Lanying quickly made the arrangements, "Junjie, why don't you sit with Li Qian?"
An Fat was a little dazed when Li Lanying called him 'Junjie', a name she had never used before. Instinctively, he sat next to Li Qian.
It wasn't until later that he realized he had missed the opportunity to sit with Li Lanying, and he felt a bit vexed inside.
However, since he had already sat down, it would be even more awkward to get up and move again. Despite his inner vexation, he could only accept the change with resignation.
The feeling of vexation didn't last long, and he soon forgot about it as he focused on other thoughts.
After regaining his composure, he began to think and guessed the reason behind Li Lanying's actions.
It was likely that she wanted to prevent Li Qian and Tu Jiaojiao from sitting together, which aligned with his own intentions.
As for Li Lanying, the fact that she had gone to the Pride Sun Cultivation Base during the summer break indicated that she had no interest in him.
Rather than focusing on what he couldn't have, he decided to concentrate on growing up, hoping that with a bit of luck, he might bridge the distance between them.
Li Qian sat in his window seat, lost in his thoughts about the upcoming Beastmaster University life.
He vaguely sensed the rivalry between the two girls but didn't pay much attention to it.
Opening the bag of potato chips, he took one and started eating, dreaming about the exciting times ahead.
Just then, the sound of An Fat crunching on shrimp chips reached his ears.
Li Qian glanced at him and continued to tease, "If you keep expanding like this, no girl will want you."
As he spoke, Li Qian deliberately glanced at the seats where Tu Jiaojiao and Li Lanying were sitting, making his meaning clear.
Hearing this, An Fat shook his head helplessly, "I can't help it. I have a big appetite, and asking me to diet is more painful than killing me."
"Besides, with my physique, I think dieting alone won't be enough.
"An Fat was self-aware when he said, 'I know my limitations.'
Li Qian smirked and teased, 'So you're just giving up?'
'I wouldn't say I'm giving up. I have my own methods,' An Fat replied with a mischievous laugh.
Li Qian was curious and asked, 'What methods?'
His question not only piqued Li Qian's curiosity but also caught the attention of the two girls.
Seeing this, An Fat proudly shared his plan, 'For my second Companion Beast, I'm thinking of contracting a Fighting-type.'
'You mean Fighting Boy, Ninja Frog, Iron Child, those types of Companion Beasts?' Li Qian immediately understood An Fat's intention, 'You want to use the evolution feedback from the Fighting-type to improve your physique?'
Although Li Qian asked, his attitude was already very clear.
'That's right...' An Fat's face lit up with a smile as he admitted openly.
'This is indeed a good idea,' Li Qian thought for a moment and then asked.
The evolution feedback of Companion Beasts is closely related to their inherent traits.
For example, the evolution of the Green Scaled Dragon not only enhances physical qualities comprehensively but also provides longevity benefits.
The reason is simple; Dragon-type Companion Beasts have always been synonymous with longevity.
Contracting an Extreme Swift Flying Eagle, for instance, would grant the Beastmaster the ability to move as light as a swallow.
As for Fighting-type Companion Beasts, they are generally characterized by robust physiques and well-developed muscles. Contracting one could significantly improve the Beastmaster's physique.
This was An Fat's plan, and it was indeed a feasible approach. However, Li Qian was concerned that with An Fat's unrestrained eating habits, even contracting a single Fighting-type Companion Beast might not be sufficient.
Unless he could evolve this Fighting-type Companion Beast to the Imperial Rank.
During the journey, they chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly. By noon, the group arrived in Yunlan City.
They had a quick lunch in Yunlan City and then headed straight for the Teleportation Center.
'By the way, does this card have any discounts?' Li Qian took out the VIP card given by Li Suokuan as they purchased tickets at the Teleportation Center.
'It offers a 20% discount,' the ticket seller replied with a surprised expression upon seeing the VIP card, and their attitude became more respectful.
'Li Qian, what kind of card is this that gives you a 20% discount?' Tu Jiaojiao was equally surprised and couldn't help but ask.
Li Qian casually explained, 'A senior staff member at the Teleportation Center gave it to me. I didn't know its purpose, so I just asked casually, not expecting it to provide a discount.'
He wasn't hiding anything; he genuinely didn't know.
Initially, when Li Suokuan presented the card, he only mentioned that it allowed three free teleportations per month, limited to the cardholder. As for the card's other functions, he didn't elaborate, and Li Qian didn't inquire.
With a 20% discount, they could save a significant amount on two tickets.
'Thank you,' Li Qian said, purchasing two tickets directly.
Meanwhile, at the adjacent counter, Tu Jiaojiao and Li Lanying had also bought their tickets.
Yunlan City did not have a direct teleportation array to Shazhou City, so they had to detour through Nandu City.
Originally, Li Qian had planned to take this route, but now it was no longer an option, and they had to change their plans to go through Zhonghai City.
