If the other party had only said so verbally, he would have thought it was just a prank. But the other party not only placed the order, but also paid the full amount promptly and cleanly, which showed their utmost sincerity.

Of course, if he wanted to confirm receiving the money, he had to deliver the goods to the other party in person.

If it were by courier, the fat guy would have agreed without hesitation, but the other party’s request was for him to deliver it personally.

That was one of the conditions for the deal.

Although they had communicated on the chat app, and the other party explained that the reason for this was that he wanted to ask Little Tom in person about knitting techniques.

At first glance, it sounded reasonable, but the fat guy still felt uneasy in his heart.

He didn’t dare go alone.

He was reluctant to give up, so in this situation, his only choice was to find someone to go with him and take the risk together.

Having more people would give him courage.

And his roommate became the first choice.

After all, living in the same dormitory and spending every day together, their relationship was definitely the closest.

Among the four in the dorm, the other two had recently become obsessed with a game, pulling all-nighters every day, gaming like crazy, and were rarely even seen. Counting on them to come along was unreliable, so Henry Clark became the only option.

“Ah Hao, will you come with me? It won’t be for nothing—since we’re brothers, let’s keep things clear. The reward is fifty thousand, I’ll give you twenty thousand, how about that?”

“That much? You’re willing?”

“Not really, but it’s what you deserve. The sweater itself is worth ten thousand, and as for the rest, we’re both taking the same risk, so the reward should be split evenly.”

Henry Clark was tempted. Although he also felt this matter was a bit strange, he couldn’t help it—he was short on money lately, and twenty thousand could buy a lot of rice.

Besides, even though he hadn’t learned any spells yet, he was at least a first-level body cultivator, with physical abilities far beyond ordinary people.

Strength, reflexes, agility—all top-notch. Maybe not enough to take on a hundred people at once, but if just a few tried to mess with him, they’d have to be out of their minds.

What’s that saying? The more skilled you are, the bolder you get. Since that’s the case, what’s there to be afraid of!

“Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Henry Clark made his decision, then added, “Is it far from here? Don’t forget, we have class tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry, it’s not far, just in the neighboring city D. The high-speed train takes two hours.” The fat guy had checked everything thoroughly. Although the price offered made him reluctant, if it were too far, he really wouldn’t have dared to accept.

Once the time was set, the fat guy booked the tickets online. The train ride was two hours, and the departure time was just right—2 p.m.

The two met at the agreed location and boarded the train.

They didn’t have much luggage—just the fat guy carrying a package, which contained the sweater worth fifty thousand. Henry Clark even took it out to have a look, but honestly, he didn’t see what was so special about it… Besides someone like Tom Harris, could you really expect an engineering nerd to have much appreciation for a hand-knitted sweater?

On the train, the fat guy was clearly a bit nervous, while Henry Clark couldn’t help but recall all sorts of web novels.

Whether it was xianxia or the recently popular urban novels, when the protagonist encountered this kind of strange commission, it usually meant it was time to start a new quest.

Along the way, all sorts of brainless little mobs would pop up to give the protagonist experience, and in the end, he’d instantly defeat the boss, often scoring some priceless equipment or treasure. Maybe there’d even be a chance to play the hero and save a beauty…

Henry Clark was looking forward to it.

Not because he thought he had protagonist’s luck, but because it had been so hard to finally set foot on the path of cultivation, he couldn’t help feeling a bit restless. It was like suddenly winning five million in the lottery—if you went out for noodles, you’d have to order two bowls and throw one away just to show off your wealth.

Simply put, he just wanted to have some fun. Even though “no zuo no die,” he couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Unfortunately, novels are fiction after all. In reality, there’s no such thing as a quest, no little mobs popping up for Henry Clark to farm experience and level up. In the end, he could only turn his disappointment into appetite, using the excuse of going to the restroom to actually head to the dining car alone and order enough rice for ten people.

He ate while cultivating.

But with the lesson from last time, this time Henry Clark kept his guard up while cultivating and didn’t let himself slip into a trance.

He ate a bit less, but the effect was still pretty good. As a first-level body cultivator, Henry Clark now felt the power of his qi and blood increase a little more.

Not much, but enough to strengthen his stamina and all five senses once again.

Henry Clark’s face was full of lingering satisfaction. If he could, he’d eat ten times as much, but binge-eating like that in public would really draw too much attention.

There weren’t many people in the dining car, but several attendants were already glancing over repeatedly. Henry Clark didn’t plan to shock the world—there would be plenty of chances in the future—so he returned to his seat.

The two-hour journey was uneventful.

Henry Clark sighed. Reality really didn’t have any quests.

With nothing happening along the way, he could only buy a big bag of snacks. On the surface, it was to pass the time, but in fact, eating snacks could also help with cultivation. Eating to cultivate—even wild vegetables and fruits could help temper the body, let alone snacks with much higher calories and sugar content.

Two birds with one stone, though the fat guy was a bit resentful.
