Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills Chapter 24 – Fee and Bus

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After reading the forum for a while, Zhou Chen opened the trading area and began to search for the mask he had wanted for a long time.

After a round of searching, he realized that there were not many new masks on display. They were not cheap either. He had to buy them with Dragon Country bills or weapons.

“I can use the whip in my hand to exchange for it, I wonder if any sellers are willing.”

He then contacted some sellers and sent a message asking if they could exchange for the whip, but no one replied to him.

“The masks are so expensive, is their drop rate so low?”

Zhou Chen felt a little displeased and began to wonder if there were any substitutes.

“Why don’t I just search for towels or clothes? As long as it can cover the face, it should do.”

After searching in the trading area again, Zhou Chen found something he could afford. It was a cloth. He could exchange any equipment for it, or buy it with ten thousand Dragon Country bills.

“This is it then.”

It was a black cloth. The note said that this cloth was very thin and had good breathability. It was suitable to be used as a mask.

“I should check the forum and see if the cloth can be processed and brought into the dungeon.”

In order to prevent himself from making a fool of himself for not being able to bring it into the dungeon after processing the cloth, he searched for posts related to cloth processing on the forum and checked if this was feasible.

It did not take long for him to confirm that this method was feasible. Someone on the forum had long thought of this. Some people even made clothes into whips.

After understanding the situation, Zhou Chen returned to the trading area and used ten thousand Dragon Country bills for the black cloth.

He had originally planned to use his whip to exchange for it, but when he thought of how his whip would cost more than ten thousand, he chose to use cash.

After obtaining the thin black cloth, he got scissors and other tools to start processing it. According to his needs, he made this black cloth into a half face mask.

In fact, he did not mind making a full mask for himself, but this piece of cloth was not large enough. At most, it could be made into a half face mask.

After spending some time making the simple mask, Zhou Chen put it on and looked in the mirror. He realized that his appearance was very similar to the white-haired teacher from a ninja anime he had seen in his previous life.

“Not bad. Wearing it can hide my appearance, and also doesn’t diminish my handsomeness.”

He was very satisfied with the mask he had made. In the future, when he had to go to a Survival mission, he would wear this mask.

After washing the mask and wringing it dry, Zhou Chen placed it in his inventory and left his rented room.

He was feeling slightly hungry. The food he had eaten when he returned could not endure his current digestion speed.

“I’m tired of eating beef noodles. Let’s eat at a buffet.”

Zhou Chen’s appetite had increased greatly. In order to save money, he thought of eating at a buffet.

He took out his phone and casually searched. He found that there was a restaurant holding a buffet offer a few blocks away. The price was 68 Dragon Country bills for an hour.

He arrived at the nearest bus stop and quickly boarded a bus to go there.

There were not many people on the bus at this time, and it looked rather empty. Looking at the various cars coming and going outside the window, he had the thought of buying a car.

“I should get a car priced around 200,000. It’s just that the money is not enough.”

He suddenly had the urge to sell his whip and the round shield. Perhaps it would be enough for down payment.

“It seems like buying a house might be more useful than that. I don’t have to pay rent and it’s more convenient.”

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard his phone ringing in his pocket.

“Someone’s calling me? Could it be some scam sellers?”

He was curious. In his memory, the original owner was a rather solitary person. He had no friends and was an orphan. Basically, no one would call him.

“Hello?”

Zhou Chen picked up the call and put the phone to his ear.

“Hello, are you Mr. Zhou Chen?”

A young woman’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“Yes.”

Zhou Chen replied.

“Mr. Zhou Chen, I am from the Yang City Orphanage. I called you this time to remind you that there’s a month before the payment deadline of the orphanage fee. Do you wish to repay the two hundred thousand Dragon Country bills at once or in installments?”

“Huh?”

Zhou Chen was stunned.

“Do you have any questions about the fee?”

The female voice on the phone continued.

Zhou Chen did not answer her immediately. Instead, he began to search for information about the orphanage in his head. Soon, he realized that there seemed to be mentions of such a fee in the depths of his mind. The orphanages in this world raised orphans, and the orphans would have to earn money to pay the fee when they grew up.

“I haven’t thought of this yet. I’ll contact you when I’m done thinking. Goodbye.”

Zhou Chen quickly hung up the call.

He planned to think about this after he finished the buffet. He wanted to see if the person who called was really from the Yang City Orphanage and if the fee was really so high.

“Here I was thinking of buying a car and a house, and now I have a huge debt out of nowhere.”

Zhou Chen was a little speechless. He had been glad about the original owner’s identity as an orphan since he did not have to deal with a group of familiar strangers. He did not expect the original owner to leave him such a huge debt.

“Although life in the orphanage is boring in my memory, it was peaceful. The original owner chose to commit suicide because of his mental illness. I should pay this debt, I will just treat it as completing the original owner’s unfinished business.”

Zhou Chen decided that if the fee was true, he would bear the responsibility.

“It’s best to pay it all in one go.”

He began to think about how to quickly get money because he hated debts. In his previous life, he rarely owed anyone money.

Just as he was thinking about ways to earn money while staring outside the window, he suddenly realized that the bus was moving strangely. It actually drove straight to the side of the road and charged towards the pedestrians on the street.

“???”

Feeling puzzled, he immediately turned to look at the driver’s seat, but he realized that it was empty. The middle-aged bus driver, who had been sitting there calmly and driving normally, was nowhere to be seen.

Without hesitation, he sped to the driver’s seat and stepped on the brake.

Due to his rapid reaction, the bus did not hit any pedestrians, but it attracted the cries of several people outside and inside the bus.

“Do you know how to drive? You almost slammed into me! Wait to be reported!”

A pedestrian auntie, who had almost been hit, glared at the driver’s position.

“F*ck! That driver suddenly disappeared!”

A male passenger inside the bus paid attention to a different thing.

“What the hell! How did you get your license? I almost fell to the ground!”

A woman passenger who was playing with her phone stood up and cursed at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen’s expression was calm. After stopping the bus, he quickly opened the door and got off the bus, not planning to wait here to deal with the aftermath.

“I feel like my actions might expose me.”

Thinking of the camera in the car, he felt that the situation was not good..
