Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Cooperation with the Government Office

"Others aren’t fools either," Xu Huo said without thinking, "If the people from the government office follow us, will they appear?"

"On the contrary, if we let the other side know we are running errands for the government office, would they let us go?"

"Why not just make sure they don’t find out?" Sun Jirou said, "We’ll take the Access Card with us and quietly place a positioning device where they are hiding."

"The Sunflower Courtyard can change its location, but even with the help of props, their range of activity is within Fairy Tale City. As long as the positioning device is there, they can’t escape!"

"It’s not certain they won’t leave Fairy Tale City," Xu Huo said.

"Others don’t lack legs; if people from the government office can enter, of course, they can leave," Tao Chengxin said, rolling her eyes, "And do you think they would believe that we could get an Access Card all by ourselves?"

"That’s true," Wang Qiao also said, "If we really take the Access Card over, we might end up being mistaken for someone from the government office."

"I have an idea," Yang Sheng said, "How about we tell them we’ve found a clue to the Access Card and let them get it themselves?"

"This way, whether or not they are actually looking for the Access Card, we’ll be safe."

"Does the Access Card have a tracking feature?" Gao Baimei asked the old lady, "If it does, we could take the opportunity to bring the Access Card inside."

"It does, but in that case, you won’t be able to complete the task," the old lady hesitated.

"Our task is to find the Tooth, and if we find the residence of the female guide and her people, doesn’t that mean we’ve found the Tooth? The task didn’t require us to return the Tooth to the storyteller," Sun Jirou said.

Xu Huo looked up at her, "You’re exploiting loopholes in the game here."

"What if it doesn’t work out..."

"If we can’t complete the task, we’ll just use the tickets to go to the next stop," Sun Jirou interrupted him, "Isn’t that what you said?"

"If we don’t do it, none of us can complete the task, but if we do it my way, there may still be a chance to clear the level."

"I have another question." After a few seconds of silence, Xu Huo turned to the old lady, "Do you know the owners of the Building Blocks MoMo Shop or Bear’s Paw Restaurant?"

The old lady shook her head, "Players from the government office might not know each other, but sometimes there are players with unknown origins who stay in the shops."

"I’m sure the Building Blocks MoMo Shop is their stronghold. That female guide is half genuine, half fake. First, to kill us, the outsiders, and second, to deceive us and the people from the government office into fighting!" Sun Jirou gritted her teeth, "We thought the owners of these shops were the Cannibal Players, but the players in these shops thought we were with the female guide!"

This made sense.

A few players looked at one another, not deciding immediately.

"Regardless of whether you go or not, I must seek revenge for Shen Tai!" Sun Jirou said hatefully, "All Cannibal Players deserve to die!"

Tang Yuan’s eyelids drooped next to her, and then he lifted his head to look at her, "I also want to try if I can clear the level, and if I encounter danger, I still have a ticket here that can take me to the next stop."

Sun Jirou looked at him with gratitude.

Then Yang Sheng slapped his thigh and said, "What’s the point of playing if we’re afraid of this or that? Even just for the reward for clearing the level, it’s worth a shot!"

Regardless of anything else, the potion in the clear-level rewards was essential, so they had to take the risk and give it a try.

"How about you?" Wang Qiao asked Xu Huo and Tao Chengxin.

Tao Chengxin glanced at Xu Huo and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I’ll join too."

Xu Huo scanned the crowd and after a moment turned to the elderly lady, "You see, we have contributed to the government hall. Can you support us with some props and potions?"

The old lady’s expression became momentarily stiff, but quickly softened. She stretched out her wrinkled hand and patted Xu Huo’s shoulder, "Good child, what prop do you want?"

"Something for self-defense," Xu Huo said. "What if we go in and can’t come out again?"

The old lady seemed somewhat distressed, "I don’t have any good props..."

"But you are a player from the government hall. Even though your legs are disabled and you can only hide here making sausages, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. There should be something," Xu Huo cut her off and said with a smile, "The government hall is dealing with the Cannibal Player. You can’t be lacking in courage, can you?"

Sun Jirou had contempt for his brazenness in asking for props, but the other few people were very enthusiastic, staring eagerly at the old lady.

Without beating around the bush, the old lady said, "All right then, I can give you two props. It’s up to you to decide how to use them."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed her wheelchair inside to bring out a box, and Gao Baimei immediately went up to help, "Let me assist you."

Tao Chengxin stepped forward to block her, "Easy does it; hot tofu can’t be eaten in a hurry. You’d better sit down."

Seeing the displeased looks of the other few people, Gao Baimei glared at her and sat back down in her original place.

The old lady took out a folding umbrella and a black ring from the box.

"Underneath the umbrella, within a three-foot radius, it can withstand three attacks from high-level players within twenty-four hours. Before the protection uses up, anyone standing under the umbrella is absolutely safe."

"The Hypnosis Ring, the smoke that it sprays can produce a hypnotic effect. Within three minutes, anyone who inhales the smoke will see any object before them as three."

"This umbrella is pretty good," Xu Huo said without hesitation, reaching for it, but he was blocked by Yang Sheng standing beside him, "Why should it go to you?"

"Because I was the first to find the female tour guide. You could come here because of my clues, right?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows.

"We paid money!" Gao Baimei said coldly.

Even the most genteel Tang Yuan stared at him guardedly, forcing Xu Huo to let go, "I can’t offend everyone; fine, you discuss it and let me know the outcome."

The old lady observed them with a smiling gaze.

A few minutes later, several people came out with the two props and the Access Card.

While discussing how to use the props, Xu Huo reached out and took the Access Card from Tang Yuan’s hand and turned his back to the sunlight to examine it, "This thing can really locate, but it looks like just an ordinary piece of metal."

"Each alternate world develops its technology differently. Your world being behind doesn’t mean other worlds are the same," Sun Jirou glanced at him.

Xu Huo twirled the Access Card then tossed it back to Tang Yuan, "What’s the use of advanced technology? It still can’t protect against players."

"Have you decided how to use the props?"

"The umbrella can be used three times. For now, I’ll hold onto it," Sun Jirou said. "The prop doesn’t specify that it can only protect one person at a time. We will act according to circumstances. Whoever faces danger first gets to use it. Before that, we won’t add it to the props column."

"Anyone can use the Hypnosis Ring, but the person who ends up with the ring has to cover for the retreat."

"That’s not fair. How much can this ring do against high-level players?" Tao Chengxin said. "The person who gets the ring is at too much of a disadvantage."
