Chapter 2043: Chapter 2043: Buying Mountains

Xu Huo didn’t intervene in Bai Jianzhang’s pursuit, nor did he cause trouble for the Enforcent Departnt. He simply took so ti to question a few inford individuals and then found the brother of the escaped player. The man was still alive but had been severely beaten; his limbs were broken, and his internal organs were injured. However, this wasn’t a major issue, with more dicine the recovery would be evident within days, though the bones would take longer to heal. So, he placed the person in the small laboratory building where Dr. Deng resides daily, instructing him not to wander off.

The rescued person’s na was Sun Su. He was quite clever and managed to sneak into a mbership-based venue using obsolete docunts bought from a second-hand market. It was there that he discovered traces of the cult. After leaving so clues for his brother, he ventured alone, hoping to gather evidence. Unfortunately, before he could capture anything, he was caught red-handed. During interrogation, the cult mbers learned he had a brother who was a player, so they didn’t kill him imdiately, waiting for his brother to walk into their trap.

The subsequent developnts unfolded as the cult mbers anticipated. Sun Su’s elder brother Sun Yong ca looking for him. Initially, dealing with a Level D Player was a small matter, but unexpectedly, after Sun Yong went out, he had been promoted to an Advanced Player, with two lifesaving props in his possession. Hence, he managed to escape from Bai Jianzhang’s encirclent and made his way to Rose Castle.

"Unfortunately, all the evidence was destroyed by them!" Sun Su’s eyes were filled with hatred. "Not only my sister but many innocent people were killed by them! Zone 011 will certainly shield them! My revenge is unattainable!"

Xu Huo didn’t converse directly with Sun Su; he left him behind and departed.

Darkness and light walk together, among those who tread the path, so choose light, while others choose the darkness. This can happen in any district; a few players cannot manage these matters alone. It requires the district governnt and organizations representing the players to publicly declare and take action to truly curb this issue.

Zone 011 was never a district with chaotic order. It has been stable for many years, with sound laws and regulations, indicating that most people within this district agree with and rely on rules under the sun. The players attracted here mostly aspire to this. No one wants to live every second in fear that danger may strike the next. Zone 011 is in a special period now; if the district governnt is smart, they’ll certainly handle this matter with care.

The district governnt’s response was indeed swift, producing results within a day.

All mbers involved in the cult were punished according to the severity of their cris. For murder, life shall pay for life; everything shall be addressed, including Bai Jianzhang’s team led by Bran.

This case was handled by Black Epaulette.

According to rumors from the Collection of Information Terminal, during the last power struggle between Black Epaulette and Bai Jianzhang, Bai Jianzhang fell behind, and after being marginalized, sought to regain political influence by secretly forming ties with the cult. Since Zone 011’s policies towards religion were quite lenient, many Nobles joined at least three or more religions to please higher Nobles, Bai Jianzhang thus served willingly. Unfortunately, before the relationships had ripened, they were exposed. Perhaps it was a misfortune or a fate they weren’t destined for.

The final outco of this incident garnered unanimous praise from all sectors, and Zone 011 publicly disclosed the aid to the victims’ families.

Unless the matter involves district-wide extinction, anything the district governnt wishes to handle will be appropriately managed.

Two days later, Sun Yong returned to take his brother away. He didn’t accept the assistance from Zone 011; instead, he took his brother and left the place of sorrow in search of another haven.

So depart, and others arrive. Perhaps Zone 011 isn’t the most ideal place to live, yet it’s considered decent at the E27 Wormhole Point, which is already good enough for players lacking the energy to search for a more suitable residence.

Xu Huo has been quite busy these two days as well. Through the Collection of Information Terminal, he screened so suitable remote mountain ranges, particularly those occupied by Mutant Plants and barely visited by anyone. He selected a few promising ones, inspected them individually, and ultimately decided on a sealed mountain range two hours from Base City.

Mountain ranges lacking mineral resources and especially rare species hold little value. Many are left as they are, available for purchase or lease.

However, leasing and purchasing entail different usage rights. Leasing demands maximum preservation of vegetation, forbidding destruction of the mountain’s structure, while purchasing offers convenience. Contract terms stipulate that everything within the mountain is owned by the buyer, including any hypothetical mineral deposits beneath it.

Of course, given Zone 011’s current technology level, any mountain with minerals wouldn’t be available to outsiders.

In fact, the most ideal solution was to return to Zone 014, where the Special Defense Departnt provided him with a place. Yet he is currently being monitored by Zone 011, preventing a return for a long ti. Hence, he can only purchase a mountain here to serve as a training ground.

Xu Huo bought three mountains and leased seven nearby connected peaks; it was a big purchase. Thanks to his Noble status, the local governnt not only offered him a discounted price but also volunteered to help by installing warning signs and instrunts around the mountain’s periter, to prevent unknowing tourists from entering private territory.

After completing the paperwork, he cleared an area within the mountain specifically for placing the ’Ti Box’ prop.

As the ’Ti Box’ would gradually expand, Xu Huo ensured the place was broad enough. Yet, unexpectedly, the prop occupied nearly the entire area he had cleared—the ’Ti Box’ was significantly larger than he had seen previously and had undergone other changes.

Last ti, upon entering the ’Ti Box,’ he could not use the tickets, causing him to suspect the courtyard might exist within the seams of ti and space, where spatial perception would falter, making it seem like the courtyard was endlessly vast from the outside, although it appeared not that big.

However, perhaps due to its detachnt from the specific spot, it now presents itself as a clearly bounded square courtyard. Even upon entering, it lacks the previously closed-off feeling. Although repetitive courtyards are nurous, walking through twice easily reveals the entrance and exit.

Apparently, this venue prop rely provides a location imbued with Ti Force, altering accordingly upon sensing variations in Ti Force, assisting the holder in discerning personal progress or any exceptional changes in Temporal Evolution, without imposing any compulsions on the holder.

The ti rays within the courtyard were interconnected, similar to previous encounters. Yet, shortly after entering, he perceived differing density of rays, for instance, one courtyard might have nine or ten rays, while the next might double them. This constrasts with the even distribution in natural space—ti seed to suddenly acquire strength disparities.
