Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 1259 - 1260: Card City Entertainment

Chapter 1259: Chapter 1260: Card City Entertainment

In fact, this is somewhat similar to the current situation in District 001, where the district government keeps ordinary people merely because they can provide new players or become pets.

When this division becomes increasingly apparent, the mere balance of basic necessities can no longer cover it up; it’s a gulf caused by human nature.

Perhaps to most government personnel, those mediocre and idle people, living just to consume government supplies, are a nuisance. They can be ignored as nonexistent, but when one inadvertently remembers them, they seem like dust that must be wiped away—people would not place dust at the same level as themselves.

Even if those ordinary people did not exist, those holding resources would not be willing to distribute them, so this division will never disappear; it seems more like a crueler hunting ground.

After closing the Collection of Information Terminal, a communication came from the hotel saying that he had friends visiting.

Confirming it’s Jiang Zifeng and Ye Bingxin, Xu Huo asked someone to bring them up.

"The whole floor is yours alone, this is too lavish!" As soon as he entered, Jiang Zifeng couldn’t wait to dive onto the cloud-shaped soft chair nearby and bounced twice before saying, "Is it really free? Staying a night here must cost at least several ten thousand White Notes!"

Xu Huo smiled and asked what they wanted to drink.

"I’ll have some drinks first." Lying there, Jiang Zifeng gestured at the menu for a while, and then had the automatic bar send up all the cocktails on the single list.

The bar is visible but silent; it starts mixing drinks quickly without disturbing their conversation.

"A wealthy life is indeed different." Ye Bingxin walked to the window, "I heard from the front desk that they have performances here?"

"You can invite performers privately, it doesn’t cost you anything." Xu Huo said, "If you want to watch, you can tell the hotel."

"Of course we want to see it!" Jiang Zifeng jumped up immediately, carefully inspecting the performance team list, "Select the most popular ones and have them perform right in front of the hotel!"

Ye Bingxin felt he was embarrassing and asked Xu Huo again if it’s really free, because you can’t dodge Eternal Star Hotel’s bills, don’t get into debt over this.

"That’s what the hotel people said." Xu Huo motioned them to go ahead.

"But how did you get the free coupons?" Jiang Zifeng curiously asked, "Outside they are all fifty percent off coupons."

"One of the instance rewards," Xu Huo smiled, "Only valid for seven days."

Listening to him say so, Jiang Zifeng instead felt it’s a loss, after all, it’s just entertainment consumption, and only for seven days; a spatial artifact would be more worthwhile.

"If you spend all on your own, then you truly lose out," he patted Xu Huo’s shoulder, smiling, "Never missing out on a district government bargain."

Then he picked all the entertainment arrangements the hotel could offer in a set, including but not limited to aerial performances, flying ship tours, extreme trampolines, and requested a smart camera to record their upcoming joyous times.

"Arranging so much, can you even enjoy it? Don’t need to sleep?" Ye Bingxin pressed his head.

"Naturally, it’s a night of revelry, who needs sleep." Jiang Zifeng burst into laughter.

Speaking of money, they’re definitely not lacking it, but they usually spend a lot and wouldn’t waste it on these; it’s rare to encounter a free opportunity, so of course, they would relax properly.

Jiang Zifeng is a person who can thoroughly enjoy himself alone; all the projects he scheduled he wants to attend, and both Xu Huo and Ye Bingxin each picked two or three to tramp along.

Late at night, both wanted to catch up on sleep.

The three had an early dinner together, then began the first of the entertainment activities, catching a flying ship tour to overlook the entire Card City from the sky before dark.

The route would pass the Game Government Base and District Government, as well as several subsidiaries of Hengxing Company.

When the flying ship passed these places’ outskirts, the buildings themselves would release an energy wall to ward off interference; of course, this wall was also a barrier, making it impossible for the flying ship to enter.

Almost all essential facilities have devices for protection; once inside, first spatial artifacts would be interfered with, then measures targeting certain props would follow.

"If you were to step through the door, you’d have to deal with machines first before meeting the people," Jiang Zifeng looked at the scenery below, saying lightly, "To say this Game Government is cunning enough, the interference devices sold have range and level limits, and also limit quantity, while the props aren’t so comprehensive—simply put, it’s like a few swords against a 360-degree all-encompassing protective shield, one side riddled with flaws, the other impenetrable."

"Otherwise, the Game Government would’ve been overthrown by Super Players long ago?" Ye Bingxin said, "Even though Super Players aren’t plentiful, finding time every day to attack one would be more than enough to trouble the Game Government."

"Don’t think it’s so easy; who knows if Super Players have suffered from evolution syndrome." Jiang Zifeng said, "At that level, regular props don’t even hold allure."

Evolution syndrome, it’s also a cloud hanging over every player’s head.

"I’ve also visited several government bases and Hengxing subsidiaries... seems no solution to this problem in the game thus far." Jiang Zifeng laughed again, "Though no one can escape, the good thing is everyone faces it alike."

"That’s one way to say it, but you should still seek advanced evolution potions as early use allows higher evolution levels, delaying syndrome onset—this is Hengxing Company’s public report." Ye Bingxin said.

"I suspect they’re just aiming to sell drugs." Jiang Zifeng sneered, "Ordinary and advanced evolution potions are merely different in evolution intensity."

"We have no alternative but to trust..." Ye Bingxin said, turning to Xu Huo, "Brother Xu, what’s your evolution rate?"

"Forty-plus." Xu Huo said, "I heard evolution potions should be taken progressively, larger doses, and higher frequency increase the risk of regression."

"That’s true, consuming evolution potions heavily for quick physical gain is uneconomical." Ye Bingxin nodded, "I’m with Jiang Zifeng similar to you, both just over fifty."

That genuinely surprised Xu Huo, as many Rank-C Players he met already have an evolution rate over 60%.

"Look here." Suddenly, Jiang Zifeng pointed below.

Xu Huo lowered his head, noticing several aircraft parked on the plaza of Hengxing Mechanical Subsidiary. As hatches opened, automatic transporters delivered boxes of instruments into the warehouse, received and sorted by machines too.

"See that black box?" Jiang Zifeng said, "Hengxing Mechanical Subsidiary uses box colors to grade instruments; a black box is at least Rank-B, truly good stuff."

Ye Bingxin pointed at the recording machine, "Keep in mind the setting."

"Can’t even take a look?" Jiang Zifeng turned back to Xu Huo, winking mischievously, seemingly encouraging.

Unfortunately, Xu Huo wasn’t interested, "Maybe next time."
