Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 880 - 415: Coleman Workshop, the Lawful Good Apostle_2

[It took the "Teleportation Trap Device" from your hand and examined it closely, nodded to you, and told you that this type of Refined Copper device was quite expensive, with various functions. You could go to the counter to order the device you wanted.]

[Following the direction pointed by the receptionist, you looked towards the end of the spacious hall where there were seven or eight counters, with long lines queued up in front of each...]

[Those in line were interacting with the service personnel behind the counter while filling out some forms.]

[You noticed a few scholars of extraordinary ability who, unlike the high-ranking nobility, did not queue up but were led by the service personnel into a separate room.]

[Hanging on the door was a Refined Copper signboard that read ’VIP Room’.]

[Looking at the long queue, you inquired with the receptionist about how long it would take and were told that the wait would be at least two hours.]

[In a hurry and with no patience to waste time in line, you walked towards the separate ’VIP Room’.]

[Just as you approached the entrance of the ’VIP Room’, you were stopped by a security staff member.]

[Noting that your attire was neither that of a scholar nor a noble but rather that of a crude swordsman, they told you to go queue at the counter as the VIP Room was not open to common swordsmen.]

[Will you go queue at the counter, or will you insist on entering the VIP Room?]

[You frowned and immediately switched to the ’Shell of the President of the Direct View Association’, revealing your noble scholar identity.]

[The security staff looked up and, contrary to your expectations, did not respectfully lead you into the VIP Room but politely told you that you still had to queue at the counter.]

[However, due to your status, you could receive a fast pass ticket.]

[You looked again in the direction the security staff was pointing and saw that the so-called fast pass lane had slightly fewer people, but judging by the number, you estimated it would still take at least an hour.]

[Pointing at your own face, you said loudly to the security staff, "Please open your eyes wide and see clearly that I am the President of the Direct View Association! Why should I still need to queue and cannot enter the VIP Room?"]

[The expression of the security staff remained unchanged as they continued, "This is the Second Capital near Saint Etienne, not some rural small town. Giving you a fast pass ticket is already an excessive honor."]

[As they spoke, the security staff turned their head away, no longer paying attention to you, even taking back the ’fast pass ticket’ they had initially offered to you and putting it back into their pocket.]

Lin Xun: "..."

"Damn, so you mean I’m just a town leader from some backwater village?"

"What an outrage, not treating a village chief like an official!"

Lin Xun thought about whether to switch to the ’Shell of the Star Spirit Apostle’ to open the eyes of this security staff member.

But taking into account the many scholars in the hall, he decided to give up on that idea for the moment. If he switched to the heretical shell of the Polar Star Association here, he’d probably be mobbed by justice-seeking fists.

[Seeing the ’fast pass ticket’ being taken back, you had no choice but to join the ordinary queue that would take two hours...]

[Suddenly, someone tugged at your sleeve from behind. When you turned around, you saw a sly-looking boy.]

[No, not a boy, but a grown man with dwarfism, which at first glance made you mistake him for a child.]

[The dwarf gestured that you should not fuss over this matter here and that if you didn’t want to queue, you should follow him!]

[Bewildered, you followed the dwarf to a corner of the hall, only to see him pull out three paper tickets from his pocket.]

[Upon closer inspection...]

[’Ordinary Queue Skipping Ticket’: With this ticket, you can unconditionally cut in front of five people in the ordinary counter queue. Spirituality value: 10,000 points]

[’Fast Pass Ticket’: With this ticket, you can queue up in the fast pass lane and enjoy the speedier service that comes with being ahead of the rest. Spirituality value: 50,000 points]

[’VIP Room Experience Ticket’: With this ticket, you can transcend your class status and enter the ’VIP Room’ reserved for the powerful scholars and the esteemed nobility, indulging in the ultimate service for the elites. Spirituality value: 100,000 points] 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

[The dwarf quietly asked which of the three tickets you wanted, noting that you were a new face and offering you a 20% discount for your first visit.]

Lin Xun was stunned and then twitched the corners of his mouth, his face full of dark lines.

He never expected to encounter scalpers even in the Underworld Game.

"This is absolutely ridiculous. It’s outrageous!"

"No, I can’t condone the unscrupulous behavior of scalpers. If everyone buys tickets from them, wouldn’t it disrupt the market order?"

As a paragon of virtue and justice, Lin Xun decided to take firm action against this evil practice.

The Underworld Game didn’t provide any sneaky options, but that didn’t stop him from using the ’Flesh Authority’ to forcibly operate the shell for some sneaky actions.

[You nodded at the dwarf and said you wanted all three tickets!]

[The dwarf was overjoyed, not expecting you, supposedly the ’President’ from some rural small town, to have such substantial funds.]

[But upon further thought, something seemed off. The dwarf had observed you for a long time and approached asking you since you were alone... If you were by yourself, why would you need so many queue tickets?]

[While the dwarf looked at you with confusion, you snatched the three ’queue tickets’ from his hand and stuffed them into your pocket.]

[You coolly told the dwarf you were taking all three tickets and since it seemed like his first offense, you would not pursue the matter further. However, if you saw him reoffend, you would make sure he ascended to meet the great ’Almighty True Knowledge’.]

[The dwarf watched, dumbfounded, as you turned and walked towards the ’VIP Room’. It wasn’t until you reached the door of the VIP Room and pulled out the ’VIP Room Experience Ticket’ that the dwarf snapped back to reality.]
