1006: Chapter 1006: Little Tunnel
The female player Zeng An glanced at the content Xu Huo was reading and smiled, “Is Mr.
Xu interested in these strange geological phenona?”
For players, it’s quite normal for people to not live in a rental house for more than three years.
They can die at any ti, in any random way, which has nothing to do with the supernatural or curses imagined by ordinary people.
Regarding incidents like this, players are mostly concerned about the special magnetic fields ntioned earlier.
“Natural magnets are present beneath this forest, hence electronic devices can’t be used,” explained Zeng An.
“It’s not surprising, places like this in District 002 are quite common.
The governnt has sent people to check it out, and the final result pointed to magnetite mines.
However, since it’s private land, it remains undeveloped to this day.”
“The heir is already dead, right?” Xu Huo said.
“Snow City is very peaceful, it’s normal to have many relatives,” Zeng An said with a smile: “If Mr.
Xu is interested, you could go take a look.
The scenery there is quite nice.”
Xu Huo declined.
Before long, the diator player accompanying them received a phone call and invited Xu Huo to the Dong Family estate formally.
The Dong Family’s residence encompassed a sprawling manor, divided into several areas.
The core mbers and direct relatives of the Dong Family lived in different places, and the house Xu Huo was visiting belonged to Dong Jingxuan, a six-story manor.
This wasn’t the largest estate in the area, but in terms of size, it was at least ten tis the size of Rose Castle.
The manor consisted of primary and secondary buildings, with the main building in the center and annexes on either side at a small distance from each other.
Zeng An led Xu Huo and Xiao Dou to the secondary building on the right, where Dong Jingxuan was already waiting for them in the living room, with so popular gaming props from Snow City prepared in advance.
“Let’s go hunting,” Dong Jingxuan said cheerfully, knowing Xu Huo had little interest.
“I’ve had them release a Mutant Tiger in the area.
The leg at of the Mutant Tigers from District 002 is the tenderest, delicious no matter how it’s cooked.
It’s even more satisfying to do it yourself.”
However, Xu Huo noticed a building covered in climbing vines, which was a bit further away.
“What’s that place?”
“A botanical garden,” Dong Jingxuan answered.
“Nothing spectacular, just so flowers and plants.
There’s no access restriction; you can visit anyti if you want.”
“Hunting is more fun – you’ve probably never played like this before!”
“Young Master Xuan, Mr.
Xu is a player,” Zeng An reminded, as for mutant beasts, what player hasn’t killed a few?
Seeing the disappointed look on Dong Jingxuan’s face, Xu Huo said, “It’s also fine to play along.”
“Great, I’ll go change!” Dong Jingxuan left excitedly, exuding a clear signal of happiness.
“He didn’t get a scolding?” Xu Huo turned to ask the man with the square face.
The square-faced man replied expressionlessly, “How could the young master be wrong?
If soone needs to be scolded, it would be us.”
Xu Huo nodded sympathetically and then said, “Indeed, you have been quite negligent.”
The square-faced man’s expression twisted, but Xu Huo raised his hand to calm him, “Think about it, if Dong Jingxuan had died or been kidnapped, being scolded now and getting off lightly would be nothing.”
Unable to control himself, the square-faced man clenched his fists so tightly they made a ‘crackling’ sound, after struggling to retain composure, he finally said, “If you’re more skilled than us, then say what you like.”
Xu Huo acknowledged his response.
The square-faced man, fuming with anger, turned around and left, “I’ll be waiting outside!”
“Why make it so unpleasant?
Mr.
Xu isn’t planning to stay long with the Dong Family anyway,” Zeng An said.
“It is precisely because I won’t stay long,” Xu Huo said with a laugh instead.
Zeng An seed to catch a hint of what was going on and closed his mouth, saying no more.
In a short while, Dong Jingxuan ca out fully ard, specially made armor from head to toe, but it looked very light and did not hinder movent.
He said to Xu Huo, “Hunting is very dangerous for ordinary people, so I always wear protective armor.”
“Let the kid stay here and let him play with anything he likes.”
Xu Huo had no objections, so he left Xiao Dou behind and followed him and the square-faced man to the hunting site.
Crossing a river, they arrived at the Dong Family’s special hunting ground.
The hunting ground was separated from the estate by a river and surrounded by a protective net with no designated entry and exit.
Access was via a special aircraft descending from the sky.
After they entered, they ran into other mbers of the Dong Family.
A few player-looking bodyguards were protecting a young girl, who was excitedly clapping at the live stream of a young man swiftly moving through the woods on a personal flyer, “Brother Feng is aweso!”
Dong Jingxuan imdiately curled his lips.
The girl saw them too and turned her head to give Dong Jingxuan a smiley face, “I heard Uncle Three scolded you just now.
Did you cause a ss outside again and had to let the family clean it up for you?”
Dong Jingxuan snorted coldly.
“You’ll be disappointed, I’m doing just fine.
Not only did I not get scolded, I also got so extra pocket money.”
The girl looked at him skeptically, “Cousin, don’t pretend to be sothing you’re not.
Uncle Three was still asking my dad for money to circulate the day before yesterday, how could he possibly give you pocket money?”
“What do you an asking Second Uncle for money?
That’s operating capital; everyone in the family can get it.” Dong Jingxuan gave her an up and down look, “You don’t think just because your dad manages the money it’s his, do you, Dong Yanqiong?”
Dong Yanqiong didn’t pick up on that remark, and arrogantly turned her head towards the holographic projection, “Brother Feng, did you hear that?
He started bullying
as soon as he got back.
You must teach him a lesson!”
Dong Jingxuan went straight over, “Dong Qifeng, if you’re man enough, let’s have a brotherly competition!”
Dong Qifeng, who had just killed his prey, turned around and with the help of the players returned to the resting place.
While taking a sip from the water handed to him by a player, he said, “Your skin itchy again lately?
Didn’t you say you were going to travel around the district?
Why are you back after only a few days?”
Dong Jingxuan, whose cover was blown as soon as they t, didn’t blush or breathe heavily.
He pulled Xu Huo over and said, “I t a good friend outside this ti and couldn’t wait to bring him back to introduce to my dad.
My friend here is very impressive.
How about it?
I’ll just take him, do you dare to compete with ?
We all can’t use props, you bring one person, let’s see who can hunt a Mutant Tiger first!”
Dong Qifeng finally glanced sideways at Xu Huo.
Xu Huo gave a slight smile and nodded to the siblings Dong Ting and Dong Yu standing behind him.
Dong Yu imdiately announced his identity to Dong Qifeng.
Knowing that Xu Huo was a Rank-C player who ca to District 002 on a Rank-C train, Dong Qifeng looked at Dong Jingxuan with amusent, “Alright, if you lose, give
all the savings in your account and don’t co ho for the second half of the year to study.”
Dong Jingxuan hesitated for a mont but agreed, “If I win you have to give
the Little Tunnel that grandfather gave you!”
“That little money for my Little Tunnel?” Dong Qifeng laughed, but still agreed, casually selecting a Rank-B player who was following him.
“The Little Tunnel is a Spatial Artifact that allows a single person to move freely through space,” Dong Jingxuan whispered to Xu Huo.
“The gene code that those hijackers wanted is used with this prop.”
