Chapter 1417: Chapter 1418

(Wait a moment, edit later) "Da Mao, go!" Yan Jiayu called to the Stone Lion to attack, then took out a muscle doll sticker and slapped it on her face. Instantly, her speed surged, as fast as an uncapturable cannonball, crashing toward the person by the wall!

The player clearly didn’t take her reckless fighting style seriously. With a pat on his shoulder, a blue arc of light immediately formed in front of him. With the light arc as protection, he didn’t even spare Yan Jiayu another glance, instead focusing on the Stone Lion trotting in circles nearby.

However, just when he was about to free his hands to deal with the Stone Lion, Yan Jiayu, like a live bomb, crashed into him—no one knew if she had some invisible defense prop, but as she hit the light arc, she directly forced him through the wall, causing cracks to burst on the arc!

"What!" The opponent couldn’t hide his surprise; then he was propelled to the outermost wall of the building, bounced back by a barrier on the wall surface.

Yet, Yan Jiayu, who was the one exerting force, wasn’t as embarrassed as him, landing steadily in the middle of the room, wielding the Demon-Subduing Pestle as she rushed forward, attacking fiercely!

"Bang, bang, bang" - within a few strikes, a shield prop showed cracks, and the player hurriedly dodged, using characteristics to momentarily restrict Yan Jiayu’s speed before heading towards Xu Huo’s side!

His real target was the government player who hadn’t escaped yet, but before he got halfway, a cold light swiped from the side!

The pursuing player quickly sidestepped, and when he raised his hand, dozens of Cowhair Needles shot out from his sleeve.

With the air barrier temporarily unusable, Xu Huo simply placed and retrieved the Shelter 101 in front of him, and simultaneously used "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" during the attack.

The player immediately felt the effects of props applied to him. Pressing the cuff, the clothes on his body stood like scales, then closed up. With the colors of his clothes changing once, he returned to normal, and there was no trace of fatigue on his face!

Yan Jiayu and the Stone Lion caught up, and the lazy Da Mao got whacked on the butt, instantly unleashing all its fury on the pursuing player, who retreated step by step under the onslaught.

"The purpose of the vase!" The pursuing player threw a mat on the floor, causing Da Mao’s scrambling feet to slip and step onto it, pinning a paw to the ground.

But it was of no consequence; the violence-driven Stone Lion simply dug a hole in the ground. It didn’t matter if it couldn’t get off the mat, as it could carry the floor slab with it.

Da Mao was hard to deal with, and Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were relentless as well. Yan Jiayu engaged in close combat, and Xu Huo occasionally struck unexpectedly while assisting with props. After three minutes of skirmishing, both sides had sustained losses.

He looked up, glanced upward, and Xu Huo began ascending the stairs. When he reached the third floor, he sensed someone rapidly descending the middle of the building. In a second, he switched to the office floor level and positioned the Shelter 101 directly below!

The fleeing player was originally using props to move between floors, but unexpectedly stepped onto the Shelter 101—a metallic prop from the game that he couldn’t breach. Seeing Xu Huo nearby, he picked up a crossbow arrow and aimed it at him!

The crossbow arrow fired wasn’t a real arrow but a kind of semi-transparent ice, which melted swiftly after piercing the wall!

"I’m not the one you’re looking for," Xu Huo stated his stance. Yet due to this momentary delay, the pursuing player had already descended from the building. However, just as his feet appeared, a strange force knocked him away, carving a deep trench on the ceiling until it stopped at the wall.

The next second, two people and a Stone Lion descended to the floor where Xu Huo and his partner were standing.

"Da Mao, go!" Yan Jiayu called to the Stone Lion to attack, then took out a muscle doll sticker and slapped it on her face. Instantly, her speed surged, as fast as an uncapturable cannonball, crashing toward the person by the wall!

The player clearly didn’t take her reckless fighting style seriously. With a pat on his shoulder, a blue arc of light immediately formed in front of him. With the light arc as protection, he didn’t even spare Yan Jiayu another glance, instead focusing on the Stone Lion trotting in circles nearby.

"There’s no need to use this to negotiate terms with me." She stood up, walked around the soft couch, picked up a crystal glass and drank the floral dew inside in one gulp.

Xu Huo watched her, "It’s not about bargaining, but you probably won’t need the things he left behind."

Bai Kou turned around, her expression slightly different from her appearance in Zone 011, slightly amused. "Valuable and useless to me? Do you know what you’re talking about?"

Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, his gaze clear.

After a few seconds of staring at him steadily, Bai Kou finally averted her gaze. "If it’s as you say, it’s indeed something I don’t need. But those who want it are abundant. If you’re smart enough, you should find a place to hide, not flaunt yourself at the Eye of Platinum."

"The main purpose of coming here is to commission a custom prop. Do you have a reliable contact to recommend?" Xu Huo didn’t mind revealing his secret.

Bai Kou seemed mildly infuriated, yet she handed him a business card, "Here’s a person with a quirky temperament. If you have enough good materials, go find him."

"Thanks." Xu Huo stowed the card and prepared to leave, but Bai Kou said, "Are those two people outside the fortress stealing things your friends?"

Xu Huo paused, "One of them is a face-painter?"

Bai Kou frowned slightly, "Let them go."

After speaking, she waved her hand to open a door in the sea of flowers, conveniently sending Xu Huo out as well.

Outside the door was the Mechanical Castle’s limited-time exhibition hall. After exiting, Xu Huo immediately grabbed Tu Xiaoxiao’s hand as she tried to take a weapon from the exhibition platform, "It’s fine to look, don’t take."

Tu Xiaoxiao reflexively tried to shake him off, but unexpectedly, a passage appeared beneath them out of thin air. As they fell, Xu Huo quickly pulled up Yan Jiayu, who was crouching a short distance away looking at blueprints, transferring all three of them outside the Mechanical Castle.

Passing vehicles and pedestrians showed little reaction to people suddenly appearing nearby. Tu Xiaoxiao angrily opened Xu Huo’s hand, "What are you doing!"

"That’s what I want to ask you." Xu Huo looked at her coldly.

"Don’t misunderstand," Yan Jiayu quickly said, "Xiaoxiao wasn’t trying to steal something, she just wanted to break that weapon."

"As for the reason..." She looked at Tu Xiaoxiao, "Do you want to say?"

"You can say it, to avoid someone mistaking me for a thief!" Tu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, turning her face to the side.

Yan Jiayu then explained the reason—it turns out the newly exhibited weapon was made by one of Tu Xiaoxiao’s relatives. However, the Eye of Platinum had regulations that any mechanical item must be registered with the government after being created to obtain exclusive invention ownership. After registration, using or purchasing the mechanical item required paying the registrant a fee, including
