Beng Tie: What does it mean to broaden one's four destinies in one sentence?

"It still will."

"That settles it then."

Lin Si shrugged.

"Since I'll get beaten up no matter what I wear, why don't I dress more comfortably?"

Seele opened her mouth, only to find that she couldn't refute it.

Lin Si continued:

"And we're not there to beat people up, we're there to deliver gifts."

Seele raised an eyebrow.

"A gift? What can you give as a gift?"

Lin Si's lips curled up slightly.

"A hope."

Chapter 24 Rocky Town, Encounter with Sangbo Again

The group rested in the mining area for a while.

With Lin Si and the people from Di Huo taking turns keeping watch at night, things proceeded peacefully.

After resting, Seele led Lin Si and the other two towards the core area of ​​the lower district.

Along the way, Pera would occasionally remind Lin Si that it was time to go back.

"Lady Bronya, we've been out for so long..."

Lin Si didn't turn her head.

"Let's wait and talk about it after the birthday party."

"But...."

"hold on."

Ling Ke, on the other hand, seemed quite interested.

She looked around at the underground buildings she had never seen before, at the warm yellow minerals, and at the residents of the lower district who were dressed simply but had smiles on their faces.

"Wai Bi Ba Bo".

She muttered something under her breath.

Pera stumbled.

"Lingbao!"

Ling Ke glanced at her expressionlessly.

"what happened?"

Pera covered her face, not wanting to speak.

After walking for about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up before us.

A sizable town came into view.

The houses are scattered in a pleasing manner, and people come and go on the streets. There are vendors hawking their wares, children chasing each other, and a few elderly people sitting in their doorways basking in the sun, even though there is no sun at all.

"arrive."

Seele stopped in her tracks.

"Panyan Town, the largest settlement in the lower district."

Lin Si looked around.

It's definitely much better than those mining shacks I've seen before.

Several miners squatted by the roadside, munching on hardened black bread while arguing about something.

"I said! This is how the mine carts are driven!"

"If you keep driving like that, you're bound to crash sooner or later! Listen to me!"

"Listen to you? Last time I listened to you, the mine cart fell straight into a ditch!"

In a slightly open area, a group of people were gathered around a wooden board with a few words scrawled on it:

[Boxing Tournament - Tonight - Place your bets now!]

A burly, shirtless man was shouting there:

"Bet on Lao Luo to win!"

Someone nearby retorted:

"Buy Iron Arm! Iron Arm can kill a Rift Monster with one punch!"

Lin Si stared in disbelief.

Pera looked around curiously.

Ling Ke's eyes lit up as she scanned the various ore piles and machinery, looking like she really wanted to study them.

Seele noticed their reaction and casually remarked:

"What? You've never seen life in the lower tiers?"

Lin Si nodded.

"I really haven't seen it."

Seele snorted.

"People from your upper class probably will never come to a place like this in their entire lives."

Lin Si did not refute.

He was simply silently processing the information he had just seen in his mind.

These scenes were somewhat different from what he had expected.

The lower-level areas, under lockdown, are resource-scarce and have harsh environments, but the people there have not been crushed. They still laugh, they still joke, and they still strive for a living.

The leader who could create such a "thriving" atmosphere on a pile of ruins was truly something.

This further convinced him that the leader was the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Our birthday party for our eldest son is still a while away. Would you like to explore on your own, or come help with the setup?"

Lin thought for a moment.

Wandering around by yourself? Dressed like this, it's really not appropriate.

Moreover, what he needs is to get to the core of this "earth fire," not just to take a cursory look at the scenery.

"We won't go shopping anymore."

He smiled.

"Let's go with you to set up your boss's birthday party."

Seele paused for a moment, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Okay, come with me."

She turned and walked deeper into the town.

Lin Si followed.

Pera and Ling exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

The three followed Seele through several alleys and arrived at a building that looked somewhat decent.

Seele pushed open the door and entered.

"I am back!"

A cheer immediately erupted from inside.

"The butterflies are back!"

"I heard you went to clean up the mining area?"

"How was it? How many monsters did you take down?"

Lin Si followed Xi'er into the room, and then he saw a room full of people.

There were burly men with bare chests, old men smoking pipes, women holding children, and a group of children running around.

All eyes were on them.

To be precise, it fell on the three of them.

The room suddenly fell silent.

The old man, who was smoking a pipe, almost dropped it.

The shirtless man rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
