Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 120 Tense Buffer Time

Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Tense Buffer Time

"It’s not about giving up on them," Chief Wu said, "They still have three days to consider."

"Three days is too short." Nie Xuan said without hesitation, "Even if we expect the Super Props to attract players from other zones, it wouldn’t happen this quickly."

Chief Wu sighed, "Can today’s world still be treated as the old one?"

"Our Wormhole Point is numbered E27, and there is evidence that other Wormhole Points exist. If, in the future, these Wormhole Points can be traversed, the turmoil brought about by this Super Prop could impact the fate of the entire world."

"Humans don’t view tiger cubs as a threat, but they will put them in cages and slowly tame them, eroding their wild nature. If a tiger cub eats a person while growing up, killing it becomes the inevitable choice."

"We are now like a tiger cub." Chief Wu walked over and patted Nie Xuan on the shoulder, "You need to understand, go and prepare."

Nie Xuan sat silently at the conference table, his face gloomy as he stared at the doorway after watching him leave.

"Captain Nie!" Sima Xiao’er with the red head came hurrying over, "I’ve prepared the announcement you mentioned, it can be posted on the forum now."

"No need now." Nie Xuan stood up and walked quickly out of the conference room and into the elevator.

"Is there a different arrangement from the higher-ups?" Sima Xiao’er followed behind him, "Aren’t we looking for that player anymore?"

"There’s no time left." Nie Xuan pressed the button for the second basement floor, "Don’t bother looking for that player anymore, he is not from Zone 014."

Sima Xiao’er opened his mouth to ask how he knew, but seeing his grim expression, he swallowed his words.

The elevator quickly reached the second basement floor, the place where the research institute stored its props.

After stepping out, Nie Xuan motioned for Sima Xiao’er not to follow and said, "First thing tomorrow, go to the logistics department to get a ticket to enter the game. After you get the Return Ticket, don’t be in a hurry to come back, stay as long as you can."

Sima Xiao’er looked utterly bewildered and had no chance to ask why before he saw him turn and walk away.

The elevator doors closed, and the incandescent lights in the corridor lit up. Nie Xuan stood in front of the recognizer at the door. After confirming his identity, he finally spoke, "Pioneer Player, head of Ting City branch, Nie Xuan, requests the Rank-C Special item ’Murderous Demon Finger Sleeves’."

"It seems we can only hide in the game." Huang Junjie said, "If we get a Return Ticket, players can at least linger in the game until the time limit for the next game instance arrives."

"Even as Level E Players, do we need to hide?" Yuan Yao said, frowning, "The risk of entering the game is high, and there’s no guarantee of getting a Return Ticket. Without a Return Ticket, we won’t be able to come back."

"You have extra tickets; if you really can’t take it, just go straight to the next game instance." Huang Junjie said, "It might be a way to buy some time."

"Can’t we hide in some deep mountains or someplace nobody knows about?" Yuan Yao asked hopefully, "I want to take my parents with me."

"That’s also possible." Xu Huo nodded, "Go hide in a small city with fewer people."

"Then I’ll make a call, go back to my hometown, and just hide." Yuan Yao stood up and went to the balcony.

"Are you really planning to find a remote place to hide?" Huang Junjie looked at Xu Huo, "Players from other zones might come hunting for players from Zone 014; nowhere is safe."

"Players from other zones are limited after all, and there is some buffer time with the ticket and a few days before the next instance. If we can thoroughly solve this issue in a short time, perhaps we can still turn the tide." Xu Huo glanced at the time.

Thoroughly solve the issue?

Unless we hand over the player with the Super Prop to others willingly.

Is that possible?

"Being targeted by players from other zones is only a matter of time; I’ve come to accept it, just do your best to save yourself," Huang Junjie couldn’t help but scratch his crusted face.

Xu Huo looked at him, "Has that layer of white scab on your face fallen off?"

Huang Junjie nodded and then went to the room to get a paper box, "As you said, I didn’t throw away this scab. Do you need it?"

"Everything is a product of the game. It might come in handy someday." Xu Huo took the box.

Huang Junjie seemed thoughtful.

At this moment, Yuan Yao returned to the living room, "Brother Xu, I’ve got to go."

"I don’t have much ability, so I can only hide out there. Brother Xu, with your skills, entering the copy won’t be a problem. What Huang Junjie said makes sense, it’s definitely safer inside the game than outside."

Xu Huo gave him two bottles of P0 Potion, "Be careful."

Yuan Yao accepted them without reserve.

After he left, Huang Junjie also prepared to say goodbye, "Xu Huo, see you next time if we get the chance."

No sooner had the two left than the door lock sounded again.

Yuan Yao and the other guy had left in a hurry, and no one had explained where the Girl in the painting had gone, but since she took the keys, she must have gone shopping, which was her favorite activity at the moment.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Huo turned around and first saw Yu Qingqing’s face.

He frowned slightly, but then heard her say with a smile, "Surprise, I’ve come back."

At that moment, Yuan Yao sent a message, "Brother Xu, I forgot to mention earlier, your cousin has come, and she went shopping with Li Chun. They should be back soon."

Xu Huo put down his phone, turned his head, and glanced at the Girl in the painting behind him, who was holding bags big and small with a look of grievance, then said, "I’ll call your aunt later."

Yu Qingqing pursed her red lips, huffed, and sat down across from him, "I even bought you clothes, and this is how you treat me?"

"Hey, you, if you want to be my cousin-in-law, you’d better hurry up." She then ordered the Girl in the painting around.

The Girl in the painting hastily placed the bags on the sofa, skillfully picked out a set of men’s clothing, and held it up, looking at Xu Huo with a pleasing glance, her bright eyes seemingly asking if it looked good.

Xu Huo barely glanced at it, "A suit and tie in this heat, are you sick in the head?"

"You’re the one who’s sick!" Yu Qingqing snapped back, "Do you have any idea how expensive these two outfits are?"

"I’m not short of clothes, let’s convert it into cash." Xu Huo picked up the box stained with the white scab and headed to his room, "Li Chun, come with me."

Yu Qingqing glared at him angrily, then flung off her shoes and ran to the washroom.

The Girl in the painting entered Xu Huo’s room, looking shyly at him with big eyes blinking and sparkling.

Xu Huo stared at her for a second, "Did you have your face slightly adjusted?"

The Girl in the painting twisted her body unnaturally and typed on her phone, "My old face wasn’t pretty."

"There’s no need to be too pretty." Xu Huo took out two aluminum cases from under the bed, left from the last time the special agency had sent him things.

"Being too pretty draws too much attention."

Not sure what nerve he struck but the Girl in the painting blushed, nodded, then her features made subtle changes again. Overall, they were similar to before, but not as eye-catching as just then.

Seeing Xu Huo wasn’t looking at her, a hint of disappointment appeared on her face. She then leaned against the desk, watching him take things out of the leather case and place them into the aluminum case.

Aside from a vial of POT and one P1A injection, there was also a piece of black metal brought from Fenbei Town, a bottle of soil, a piece of cloth covered in mucus, and a portion of the white scab.

But the black metal was taken out again after being placed inside.
