Chapter 2273: Chapter 2273: Betting on the Future
"No ga carriers?" Zhu Xiaojin was a bit surprised, "I thought they were aimlessly heading to the city center to take control of Bu Liu City with the ga carriers."
"Even if the carriers exist, they might be hidden in different spaces. Since one-third of the gas have existed for so many years, it ans these things can’t be easily obtained by players."
"But this ga is indeed strange, masked within an instance to conceal its true form, with no information leaked; this already far exceeds the scope of a typical instance."
"Its appearance in Bu Liu City might be coincidental, or there might be deeper reasons. Surviving is already good enough, claiming ownership? I’m afraid they won’t have enough lives."
"Then what exactly are they trying to do?" Zhu Xiaojin still couldn’t understand, "The city center is so dangerous, what benefit do they get from going in?"
"In hindsight, I should have used so thods to force a confession earlier. Even if nothing useful was obtained, killing them would have prevented future troubles."
"It’s unclear whether they truly made contact with the people in the city center as they claid. To be safe, it’s best not to make things too ugly," Xu Huo said.
Killing those people is easy, but losing the Municipal Governnt channel in the process wouldn’t be worth it.
As for their goal, these people probably won’t give up easily, let’s watch and see.
"So there’s no choice," Zhu Xiaojin shrugged.
The three of them returned to their lodging place where the prop is set, and Tang Yu ca out to greet them, saying to Xu Huo and the others first, "That Temporary Enforcent Officer called Old Cai is here."
Just then, a burly man stepped out, enthusiastically approaching Xu Huo for a handshake, "You must be Brother Xu, so young and promising! I’m older, so let
call you ’little brother’ for now. You’re not convenient to co to District 6, so I ca to see you. I hope you don’t mind my forwardness!"
"You’re already here," Xu Huo said with a smile, inviting him inside to sit.
Once seated, Old Cai explained his purpose. He proposed eting with Xu Huo to obtain more practical information. He had heard about Zhu Xiaojin’s successful completion, following the steps from the Municipal Governnt shouldn’t be a problem, but he was more curious about the one-third ga.
"Is the one-third ga venue really a place filled with space-ti power?"
Xu Huo glanced at him with a faint smile, "Do you think I can rember?"
Old Cai waved his hand, "That’s not what I ant. I an, you’re a Super Evolver, and having co out from such a place, you should feel sothing, right?"
"To be honest, I’ve spent quite a bit of ti in the ga, whether the Player Level increases or not, it mainly depends on strength."
"All these years, I’ve worked hard to find a suitable place, hoping to see if I have the chance for Super Evolution while I’m still not too old... Rank-B and Rank-A Players aren’t really much, the truly carefree adventurers in the ga are all Super Evolvers."
"I’d rather gamble on my future than rely clearing an instance."
After seriously listening to him, Xu Huo finally said, "As for feelings, you should know better in the city center, aren’t you brave enough to try it?"
Old Cai had a look of "Are you kidding ?" "I just want to improve, not die; I can distinguish between seizing an opportunity and receiving a free gift."
"Just kidding," Xu Huo relaxed his expression, "but I indeed can’t be of much help in this matter. People who ca out have no mory of being in the ga; rather than gambling on an unknown chance, you’d better find ready-made venues in other divisions, since those places aren’t too dangerous."
"You think I haven’t tried?" Old Cai waved his hand, seemingly not keen to talk about past experiences, "I’ve visited many places for Super Evolution, but unfortunately, I’ve gained nothing."
"I may sound harsh, but is it possible it’s a lack of talent, and you might be better off not wasting your ti," Zhu Xiaojin chid in, while stuffing grapes into his mouth, comnted on their sweetness and turned to ask Tang Yu where they ca from.
Tang Yu glanced at the Girl in the painting, "Soone living nearby sent them over, saying... Younger Sister Li Chun likes them."
It seed her throat quivered a bit when she said "Younger Sister Li Chun," and Zhu Xiaojin raised his thumb, "Aweso, everyone’s busy, and you still find ti to socialize!"
"They said their ho produce is too much to eat alone and insisted I help," the Girl in the painting rested her chin on her hands, absent-mindedly plucking a grape and offering it to Xu Huo’s mouth.
"Eat it yourself." He pushed her hand away and turned to Old Cai, "Logically speaking, the city center should be a suitable place."
"You’ll know once you see the place; it’s impossible to make any move, truly unapproachable." Old Cai looked solemn as if he was still uneasy.
Xu Huo didn’t say much, instead remarked, "The ga should adhere to so rules, wanting to try isn’t impossible, it’s safer than the city center."
Old Cai seed uncertain, suddenly asking if Xu Huo knew where his unlocked region boundary was.
Xu Huo had killed many people but was unsure if those killed in the one-third ga counted toward the unlocked region. He could only estimate his operational boundary based on the smallest number.
"Still can’t reach the city center."
The location he entered in the instance was originally on the city’s edge, with a small initial area, and each ti the unlocked range was small, there’s no need to gamble for this matter.
"What’s so hard about that!" Old Cai suggested catching so prisoners for him, if he could offer so guidance.
"Brother, the number of prisoners I need isn’t small," Xu Huo said.
"How many can there be?" Old Cai smiled, "Compared to the whole city, no number is too many. I can give you all the dozens of people I have on hand. How many do you need?"
Xu Huo raised a finger.
"A hundred?" Old Cai offered the largest number he could think of; seeing Xu Huo unmoved, his brows twitched, "Surely not a thousand!"
"Precisely a thousand," Xu Huo said, "to be exact, it’s over a thousand short. But as long as the Municipal Governnt that side usually operates, achieving this number isn’t difficult."
Old Cai frowned, "Even quickly, it would take at least ten days, and I don’t have much ti left."
"So this ti it’s having the will but not the power." Xu Huo was quite welcoming to his visit, even planning to host him for dinner, "Now it’s already dark outside, it’s not safe to go out."
Old Cai thanked him for the kind offer but stated he had already found a hotel nearby, only a few steps away.
He declined the dinner invitation and left quickly.
"Are there really people who disregard their lives for Super Evolution?" Tang Yu comnted once Old Cai’s silhouette disappeared, "In the ga, there are quite a few who’ve undergone Super Evolution, but not all are incredibly strong. It might be worth studying the Traits and Props more."
"Everyone has different thoughts; it’s hard to judge," Zhu Xiaojin turned to Xu Huo, "But I sense this old fellow doesn’t co with good intent; might he be in league with that Municipal Governnt crowd?"
Xu Huo chuckled, "Let’s hope he brings good news."
