Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Detected Player has Entered a High-risk Instance

"You have the Perfect Evolution Potion?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrow.

Guan Shu let out a sigh of amusement, "Even if the real Holy Sword Society isn’t as numerous and powerful as the Fake Holy Sword Society, we haven’t come away empty-handed. We’ve managed to uncover Dr. Wu’s connections with Hengxing Group, so naturally, we could also find a dose or two of the Perfect Evolution Potion."

During the previous conversation, both parties held back, and they didn’t even directly mention the model or name of the Perfect Evolution Potion. In addition to concealing information, they were also testing each other’s depth; the result was that both sides felt that the other knew more than they had anticipated.

"However, the potion is not with me right now; it will need to be delivered through the reward platform." Guan Shu said, "But I can reveal Dr. Wu’s information to you."

"I want both the information and the potion," Xu Huo stated. "If you have extra potions, you can name your additional price."

Guan Shu sized him up, "You should know that the Perfect Evolution Potion is ineffective for those who have already taken other versions of Evolution Potions."

"Of course, I know," Xu Huo took out an Antitoxin and placed it in front of him, "but in the game, there are always capable people. You never know when this might come in handy."

"I used to think so too," Guan Shu held the bargaining chip — clearly not undermining his value, "One piece of information about Dr. Wu, one Perfect Evolution Potion, in exchange for twenty Antitoxins."

"I’ll give you a maximum of five Antitoxins, but in return, I want three pieces of information and one Perfect Evolution Potion," Xu Huo bargained, "Compared to the potion, Dr. Wu’s information is more important, and my Antitoxin is effective against various toxins, so you’re not at a loss."

The two negotiated back and forth, finally agreeing on seven Antitoxins for three pieces of information and one Evolution Potion.

"First, Dr. Wu is indeed a single individual, only one person. The Holy Sword Society once intercepted an encrypted file from a Grey Player who was investigating him. Dr. Wu has changed many faces, but the Game Government believes he is the same person."

"Second, Dr. Wu might be a Perfect Evolver. Whether it is from the Game Government or the Holy Sword Society’s own findings, Dr. Wu is at least two hundred and twenty years old. So far, no publicly disclosed player records have exceeded this age."

"Third, Dr. Wu might have certain game privileges."

Xu Huo had guessed the first two points to some extent, but the third was genuinely surprising.

"So you believe that Dr. Wu is one of the game’s founders?"

"Exactly," Guan Shu stroked his severed arm, "He’s been able to evade the Game Government’s pursuit successfully, time after time. If not someone familiar with the game and possessing certain privileges, who else could manage that?"

"Even a Super Player couldn’t manage such flawlessness."

"Got any solid evidence?" Xu Huo pondered and asked.

Guan Shu fell silent, neither confirming nor denying.

That meant there was some substantial basis, not merely speculative.

This implied that the Game Government might indeed possess the formula for the Perfect Evolution Potion, but chose not to mass-produce it to limit the players. The pursuit of Dr. Wu might also involve other secrets.

This means Dr. Wu likely understands the entire operation of the game...

Xu Huo furrowed his brows, then handed the Antitoxins to Guan Shu.

Once Guan Shu confirmed receipt of the potion, he added, "Really not considering joining the Holy Sword Society? In the game, going solo means taking many detours, but information within the Holy Sword Society is shared."

"That’s quite the bait." Xu Huo didn’t finalize his decision, "I’ll think about it."

Guan Shu chuckled, preparing to enter the storage when suddenly his expression changed dramatically, kicking the door in front of him and pulling out two injured members. The moment they left the storage, a huge explosion occurred inside the room, engulfing it in bright flames!

Xu Huo also retreated, however, the apartment building was already surrounded by the Game Government’s players, with aircraft covering the sky and ground, entangling the entire building like a net.

By the time Chi Minghong and members of the Holy Sword Society arrived, a battered and semi-conscious person was suddenly thrown down from the command vehicle in front.

"It’s one of ours," Ruan Qiyuan yelled sharply.

The player who threw down the person sneered, "I thought all the Holy Sword Society members were tough."

The Holy Sword Society members looked uneasy, but at this point, their only option was to figure out a way to escape.

Though they had two injured members, entering the station together shouldn’t be a problem.

"Get ready to leave," Guan Shu directed from the front.

Under the current circumstances, fighting their way out against the Game Government’s players would be difficult, especially since their strongest fighter had lost an arm, reducing his combat effectiveness.

"Sorry about this," Guan Shu turned back and apologized to Xu Huo.

Xu Huo didn’t even look at him; instead, he kept an eye on the activities of the Game Government’s players. When he emerged, he realized something was wrong with the place. Initially, he thought it was an attack prop set up by the Game Government. Seeing that all the players maintained a hundred meters distance from them without making a move, he understood that this wave from District 002 probably intended to use advanced weapons against them.

He quickly said to Chi Minghong, "Give him a ticket, give me an address, after leaving here I’ll come to find you."

Chi Minghong immediately understood he was referring to a non-player ticket. With the situation being critical, she quickly took out two non-player tickets and handed them to the nearby boy and woman. At the same time, she pulled out three business cards, about to distribute them when suddenly a massive circle, at least fifty meters in diameter, appeared in front of them. Thick, almost solid-like dark clouds rolled above it, accompanied by roaming lightning and flashing lights, a strong suction erupted from it, instantly sucking away the boy and woman standing behind Xu Huo!

Without hesitation, Xu Huo reached out and grabbed the child, but the woman, along with her screams, disappeared into the dark clouds!

A spatial portal!

Realizing something was wrong, Xu Huo immediately went for the ticket, and the boy he was holding also tightly gripped the non-player ticket—now was the time to prioritize survival, whether they could meet again depended on fate!

However, just as the two of them, along with Chi Minghong and the members of the Holy Sword Society, planned to use their tickets to escape, another strange force enveloped them, freezing everyone in mid-air for what seemed like less than half a second.

In the next instant... Boom!

The building behind them was ripped apart from the middle and rapidly crumbled. Large chunks of debris were drawn toward the portal by gravitational force. Just before that happened, Xu Huo and others, who had been barely resisting the suction but were delayed, had already vanished into the portal!

The tickets did not activate in time, and the game notification followed:

[Detected that players have entered a Rank-B High-Risk Random Instance. There is no background introduction or mission requirements for this instance; players can proceed as they wish. Ticket portal will reopen in fourteen days. Good luck to all players.]
