Chapter 242: A Thrilling Voyage
Lin Yi took a look, there are many means of transportation to the imperial capital, the cheapest and easiest is the car running on land, but it also consumes the most time, because the road from Xin'an County to the imperial capital is very long, and the mountain road is rugged, nine turns and eighteen turns, plus it is easy to encounter danger on the road, so the car is also the most dangerous way.
In addition to cars, it is also possible to take a boat.
Because the north of the imperial capital is close to the sea, people can go there by boat, but only one boat goes to the imperial capital every day, because the sea is also dangerous.
The monsters of the sea are more ferocious than those on land, and they are very large, they hide in the water, they are very secretive, and they are extremely difficult to detect.
In order to prevent accidents, the Imperial engineers built a steel warship to ensure the safety of passing passengers.
And this steel battleship costs a lot of money, it is said that it cost hundreds of billions!
As a result, the boat ride is the most expensive of all modes of transportation, but it takes a lot less time than a car ride and is safer.
After all, the steel battleship is so strong that ordinary monsters can't break it at all, and it also has a powerful firepower system that can fight back against monsters.
In addition to these two methods, there is also the way to use the teleportation circle constructed by the mages, which should be the fastest and easiest one, and the price is also the cheapest of the three.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the teleportation circle is not stable, because Xin'an County is too far away from the imperial capital, and the farther away the distance, the worse the stability of the circle, which can easily lead to accidents during the teleportation process, and the person being teleported is likely to be in a different place.
In other words, the upper body may have reached the imperial capital, but the lower body is still in the same place, which often happens, the victim died a miserable death, and there is no way to save him, you can only watch him die in pain.
Because of this, teleportation circles are listed as one of the most dangerous modes of transportation.
However, because of its convenience and economy, it has become one of the most commonly used ways for people.
After all, there is only one mistake in a hundred times, and everyone thinks that they will not be the unlucky ghost, and they are more willing to save a lot of money and time to do other things.
"This gentleman, which way are you going to use to get to the imperial capital?"
A staff member handed a form to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi made his own choice.
Looking at the three options on the form, Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to take the steel warship.
He's not short of money right now, so he doesn't want to put himself in danger.
And he was also curious, wanting to see what the steel battleship was like at that time, and what kind of monsters he would encounter in the sea.
"Yes sir, please pay five million for transportation!"
The staff smiled and said to Lin Yi, Lin Yi took out his bank card and asked the other party to swipe the card, he still has seven or eight hundred million in his account, and only five million is not a problem.
"When I get to the imperial capital, I'll contact Store Manager Sun, I still have a lot of things I want to do here, let him help me deal with it."
Lin Yi, who took the ferry ticket, thought to himself.
He got a lot of loot during this time in Sinanjun, some of which he thought were valuable and synthesized, and some of which he felt were worthless, and it was meaningless and a waste of time to synthesize, so he gave up and sold them in the store.
And what he wants to hand over to Store Manager Sun are all high-grade items that have been synthesized by himself, and the lowest level is also A-level.
Now he positions himself as a supplier of high-end items, because only high-end items can be sold at a good price.
Because the steel battleship only travels once a day, everyone is waiting to board the ship, Lin Yi sat in the waiting room, observing the passengers around him, these people are dressed as rich or expensive.
"Sure enough, those who can afford such an expensive ferry ticket are not ordinary people." Lin Yi sighed in his heart.
To put it bluntly, the ticket is so expensive, ordinary people can't afford it at all, and that's what those people should have thought when the ticket price was first designed.
Lin Yi sat in the VIP room, there were entertainment facilities, tea and pastries, almost nothing was missing, and beds for rest were also set up, so the waiting time was not boring, and Lin Yi felt that it would pass quickly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the boat is about to leave, so please board the ship."
The staff began to check the tickets, Lin Yi followed the line, and after checking the tickets, he walked through a long steel corridor, and then entered the interior of the cabin.
It is said that it is a steel battleship, but in fact it can be dived, Lin Yi believes that it is more appropriate to call it a steel submarine.
When he came to his seat, Lin Yi found that he was leaning against the window and could see the scene outside through the glass, which was exactly what he wanted.
An old man sat down next to him, smiled and nodded to Lin Yi, Lin Yi also returned the salute to the other party, and then the two had nothing to do with each other, after all, they didn't know each other.
Lin Yi picked up the album next to him, which gave a detailed description of the situation of this steel battleship and its development history.
In this world, because of the invasion of game monsters, magic and skills have gradually become mainstream, and technology has faded out of people's vision.
So, this steel battleship may seem like a product of technology, but in fact, it's the magical nuclear power that really makes it work.
Lin Yi didn't delve into this, because it didn't have much to do with him, his purpose was to quickly find out the real reason why this world was invaded by the game, and then return to his own world.
As for the rest, that's not the point.
Soon, everyone boarded the ship, and the beautiful flight attendant told the passengers to fasten their seatbelts, and their steel battleship, the Jiaolong, was about to depart.
Lin Yi looked out through the glass window, the entire steel battleship was slowly sailing out of the port, flocks of seabirds flew over the sea from time to time, and occasionally a few fish could be seen jumping out of the sea.
But these creatures are no longer the ordinary creatures that humans know, flying seabirds can spit icicles, and the big fish that leap out of the sea may be bigger than a steel battleship!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please keep quiet while we are driving, because our voices may be heard by monsters in the sea, which will bring unnecessary danger to our journey, so we ask that you do not speak during the whole journey."
The passengers heard the flight attendant's reminder, and some of them nodded naturally, they often took the boat, and they were no longer surprised.
Some people were surprised because they had never heard of such rules, including Lin Yi.
He speculated that some creatures in the sea may have developed hearing and could hear human voices, like radar detectors.
Since there is such a requirement, all passengers will naturally comply with it for their own safety, and even if someone forgets it, they will be reminded by the flight attendant.
"So, I'd better sleep on this journey."
Lin Yi put his seat down so that it could be used as a bed, and he covered himself with a quilt and prepared to rest.
The journey took about thirty or forty hours, so he could have rested for a few hours and then got up to observe the situation outside.
There are not a few people who have the same idea as Lin Yi, and many people also put their seats down and cover them with quilts to sleep.
While others, some read, some eat, and some listen to music with headphones on.
Feeling the sea water pushing the steel battleship, swaying, like a cradle, Lin Yi quickly fell asleep.
When he awoke again, he found that the cabin was very quiet, and everyone was almost asleep, and he sat up and looked out the window to see that the steel battleship was sailing in the deep sea.
Because the lights were not turned on, and the light in the sea was very dim, he could hardly see anything, and after looking at it for a while, Lin Yi felt bored, so he withdrew his gaze.
Suddenly, a light flashed outside the window, and Lin Yi immediately turned his head to look, only to see that there was something like a searchlight in the distance, sweeping over the steel battleship, and the light he saw just now was emitted by this thing.
But because the distance was too far, Lin Yi didn't know what this thing looked like, so he stared at it with wide eyes and looked closely, and then found that it was a round creature, floating up and down in the sea.
Its body is surrounded by eye-like organs, and then it shoots out golden rays in turns, probing its surroundings.
"What is this?"
Lin Yi was very surprised, in his memory, the school had never talked about the creatures under the sea, not because the school was lazy, but because humans knew too little about the monsters under the sea.
They are not like land creatures that can be easily seen, these creatures hidden in the deep sea are always covered with a veil of mystery, and they rarely show their faces, so everything about them is unknown to humans.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our battleship has been locked by this monster, we need to speed up immediately and get out of its domain, please sit tight and hold on, we need to speed up!"
A deep man's voice suddenly came from overhead, Lin Yi guessed that this might be the captain, and then, he clearly felt that the entire ship was accelerating, and the speed was very fast, at least three times faster than when he was driving before!
"It seems that this monster is dangerous, otherwise the captain would not be so desperate."
Lin Yi thought to himself, he turned his head to look out of the window, and sure enough, that huge thing was rampage towards the steel battleship!
Before, he looked at the size of this round monster as if it was the size of a football, but as he got closer and closer, Lin Yi's cognition of its volume kept refreshing.
In the end, he found out that it was a behemoth!
Although it is impossible to judge the exact size, however, it is completely no problem to easily swallow the battleship in your mouth.
"The monsters in the sea are indeed much bigger than those on land."
Lin Yi sighed in his heart, but he was not nervous, because the captain drove the boat very fast and steady, and he was obviously an experienced captain.
After a while, the big monster was left far behind, unable to catch up again.
The captain's voice came from above again: "I'm sorry for the stressful experience for all passengers, but now that the monster has been dumped by us, everyone can rest assured." ”
The old man next to Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, he glanced at Lin Yi, and said in a low voice: "Young man, you are very bold, you were not afraid of that situation just now, I admire you very much!" ”
Lin Yi smiled and didn't speak, in fact, he was a little nervous in the situation just now, but it was useless to be nervous, after all, in this deep sea, if you want to escape, you can't escape, you can only resign yourself to fate.
After another long journey, the steel battleship finally arrived at the port of the imperial capital, and when the steel battleship surfaced, the captain's farewell voice was heard overhead, and the trip finally came to an end.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, packed his luggage and walked off the ship, glanced back at the steel battleship, and thought to himself: "This is the last time I will ride this thing, it is simply a steel coffin, if you are eaten by that kind of monster halfway, there is really no place to escape if you want to!" ”
Because of the skill of [Location Lock], Lin Yi will no longer have to run such a long way when he comes to the imperial capital in the future, and he only needs to use the skill to teleport over instantly, which is very convenient.
The security measures in the imperial capital are much stricter than those in Xin'an County, all kinds of documents have been checked, and they are also required to take photos and videos, and transmit them to the system of the empire's defense and general affairs, keep files, and if there is any problem in the future, you can directly arrest people.
Lin Yi finished these as required, and then entered the imperial capital.
Standing at the exit of the customs, Lin Yi looked at the entire imperial capital, and sighed in his heart: "This is really a prosperous metropolis!" It is more prosperous than Xin'an County, and Sucheng is a rural area compared to it! ”
In this unrivalled metropolis, millions of high-rise buildings have sprung up like mushrooms from the ground, forming a vast urban forest. The glass windows of these skyscrapers reflect a dazzling glow in the sunlight, like stars falling on the ground, making it dizzying.
On both sides of the street, there are a variety of shops and all kinds of top brands can be seen on the street.
Lin Yi walked on this bustling street, as if he was in a huge magnetic field, feeling the impact of fashion and trends.
The imperial capital is busy with traffic, and there is a constant flow of vehicles. The city's lifeblood, the highway, winds its way through the metropolis like a dragon. Underground, the subway weaves through the darkness, and its whistling sound is like the breath of the city.
The metropolis is a melting pot of diversity, with energy and excitement around every corner.
There's a wide variety of cultural, arts, and entertainment to keep you entertained. Whether it's world-class concerts, plays, art exhibitions, small music performances in the streets and alleys, and authentic snacks, people can feel the warmth and charm of the city.
The population of the imperial capital is said to be more than 10 million, and Lin Yi feels that what he said is true, because everywhere he goes, there are people everywhere.
People were in a hurry, and they were all busy with their own things, which made Lin Yi feel as if he had returned to his original world.
It's a fast-paced metropolis.
