Chapter 1406: Chapter 1407: I’m Waiting for You to Die at the Boss’s Hands
The Gentleman Player considered himself immune to all poisons. Indeed, after his body’s super evolution, he had reached this level. During previous battles, he constantly ca into contact with toxins, yet his body had not shown any issues, thanks to his powerful purification ability gained through secondary evolution. Any toxins that entered his body were expelled automatically before reaching a level that could paralyze his limbs, and this process didn’t even affect his combat power.
He had tested this ability with no less than a hundred types of poison, which was why he dared to subrge himself in toxic gas so boldly, without even wearing protective clothing…
But he did not expect the bacteria in the box to reproduce far faster than his self-purification capabilities. The mont they adhered to his skin, their volu started increasing by hundreds to thousands of tis, and in no ti, they covered half of his arm!
The Gentleman Player was utterly incredulous. He stepped back while shaking his head and quickly bumped into the other side of the Pyramid. There wasn’t much room to move in this space, and wherever his infected hand touched, new reproduction points appeared. Within a few breaths, both his body and the Pyramid space were visibly being rapidly eroded by the bacteria!
“Bang! Bang!” One potion bottle after another smashed on the ground. Even after drinking more than ten bottles of antitoxin, the Gentleman Player only slightly slowed the bacteria’s growth. In shock, he quickly realized he had made a grave mistake this ti, with no chance of redemption!
At this mont, his boiling blood began to cool down. Looking at the two people not far away, his gaze fell on Xu Huo. “Don’t you want to know who the owner of the Bauhinia Restaurant is? I can tell you.”
“Don’t you not know?” Xu Huo countered.
“I simply didn’t want to say before,” the Gentleman Player sat down, strenuously suppressing the bacteria on his body while negotiating, “Give
the antitoxin, and I’ll give you the jamr controlling the New City, and tell you everything about the owner of the Bauhinia Restaurant, including his identity and what he made
do.”
Xu Huo watched him for two seconds before smiling slightly, “I was interested before, but now I’m not that interested anymore.”
The veins on the Gentleman Player’s forehead throbbed violently, “Are you ssing with ? Didn’t you fight
for a long ti just for this?”
“You have a selective mory, forgetting how you set
up at the Bauhinia Restaurant,” Xu Huo said, “I approached you to settle a grudge, nothing more.”
The Gentleman Player gritted his teeth silently, wanting to say sothing to regain the upper hand, but then heard him say, “Besides, you actually aren’t too clear about the owner’s identity of the restaurant either.”
Xu Huo looked at him, “You may have been hired for this, but the restaurant owner’s background should be very deep. This can be seen from the employees working for him. You, like his employees, are essentially on the sa level.”
“As for why he had an outsider handle this matter instead of using his own employees, it’s nothing more than cherishing his feathers, or because it’s not that important.”
“In this case, how could a temp worker like you know his details? Even if you think you do, it could very well be the facade he intentionally presented to you.”
“A desperado,” Xu Huo paused, deliberately sizing him up before saying, “If I were the restaurant owner, I wouldn’t want to be publicly associated with you, so to restaurant employees, you are no different from other players.”
Although the Gentleman Player didn’t want to admit it, he also understood the logic, “Since you’re so clever, then take a guess at what exactly the restaurant owner asked
to do.”
“As I said before, it’s likely related to the experints on living people here,” Xu Huo said, “But I guess the restaurant owner is not a philanthropist. Either he has a grudge with the supporting forces of the New District Governnt, or he’s at odds with the people from District 001, hence his association with this place.”
“As for what you were instructed to do, it’s rely to destroy this city, possibly also to eliminate the clones. There probably weren’t more detailed mission contents given.”
The Gentleman Player listened with a gloomy face and burst into laughter two seconds later, wiping the mixture of blood and bacteria flowing from his mouth while uttering hoarse breaths, “It doesn’t matter how lightly you put it, I understand your type, curiosity outweighs everything. You would never specifically co here to ss with
because I made things difficult in the instance, we just happened to cross paths, we originally t on the way to New District Governnt City.”
“Compared to venting anger, aren’t you more curious about who the restaurant owner is… Haha… Do you want to know?”
Xu Huo remained silent, watching him place a thumb-sized, oval tallic object on the ground, “You’re right, I don’t actually know the restaurant owner’s real identity, but this S-rank jamr could never be easily found on the average black market. The fact that it can be casually pulled out suggests he might be from the Eye of Platinum.”
“Didn’t you really want to know his identity? This item is for you.”
“With this thing, you’ll eventually seek out the owner. I’ll be waiting for the day you die at his hands…”
The Gentleman Player’s voice gradually weakened, struggling to support himself as he sat, with a large pool of blood already spat out before him. As his breathing slowly diminished, his head gradually lowered.
“Be careful of capsizing in a ditch.” The Moth Arts reminded without relaxing the spatial control.
Xu Huo was not worried about the Gentleman Player committing suicide or setting off a final explosion. First, the conditions were not right, and second, he would never be the type to commit suicide. Rather than preventing his props from falling into others’ hands, he wanted those who killed him to one day use the prop to find the restaurant owner and have the owner avenge him.
Naturally, his life was insignificant; the restaurant owner simply needed to know soone ruined his affair.
This seed like a highly unlikely scenario, and with a slightly timid player, it might never happen. But he wasn’t wrong in one aspect, and that was that Xu Huo, once he acquired the item, would inevitably find a way to locate the restaurant owner sooner or later.
[Congratulations Player Passerby A for killing a Black Player. You can obtain the killed player’s props, potions, tickets, and other items. Please prepare to receive the player’s inheritance.]
“Alright.” Xu Huo called out to Moth Arts.
Moth Arts didn’t completely shut the Pyramid space, but released a bubble prop inside. The bubble prop floated next to the Gentleman Player’s body, burrowed under his clothing, and erged again, retrieving a ti bomb.
“Trouble you to handle this.” Xu Huo glanced at it, then picked up the S-rank jamr next to him, examined it, and handed it to Moth Arts as well, “You should go out first and keep an eye on things for . I have to finish dealing with the people in the instance before leaving.”
Moth Arts had no objections, “Let
know if there’s anything you need in advance.”
“Two small tasks,” Xu Huo said, “There should be a lab below the pharmaceutical factory. Find the entrances and exits; I need to bring so kids out.”
“Also, change the attack targets of the city’s chanical Beings to the governnt players and clones.”
