Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Some Kind of Super Evolution (Reward Extra)

The little girl clutched her doll tightly, "You must be trying to trick me into giving you the doll."

Xu Huo’s smile remained unchanged as he took back his sugar, "It’s just for passing through."

The child’s eyes widened with resolve, and after some hesitation, she finally compromised, "Fine, but you have to promise to buy me sugar every month."

"No problem," Xu Huo agreed cheerfully.

The little girl took off a small hat from her head and gave it to him, gazing at him expectantly.

Xu Huo gave her all the sugar and accepted the small hat, "Where are the children you brought in?"

"They’ve all gone home," the child said while unwrapping a candy. "It’s only natural for kids to go home before it gets dark when they’re visiting someone else’s place."

Xu Huo didn’t say much and prepared to leave, but the child looked at him and added, "Once you’re outside, you can take the doll with you. Just knock when you call for me, don’t poke my eyes."

Xu Huo patted her head, "Okay."

"But uncle," the child cocked her head, "you can’t get in if I don’t open the instance, so don’t think about doing anything bad, okay?"

"I wouldn’t wander into random instances for no reason," Xu Huo paused before suddenly asking, "Did you really dislike the female player who was with me before?"

Fiercely insisting on being held while she had dirty pants and deliberately pulling her hair.

"Because she’s bad, she hits children and even pinched me," the little girl frowned deeply. "Such adults deserve to die."

"She has already been punished," rendered deaf and unable to find a way out of the instance, her fate from staying too long in the instance was foreseeable.

Xu Huo left the lighthouse and once again could not hear any sounds, but it didn’t matter. After leaving Heifeng Valley, he estimated where Yan Jiayu and Tang Xiao should be by now and went to meet up with them.

On the way, he ran into Jin Zhao and Peng Ru, who had regrouped. Peng Ru didn’t give him a warm welcome, while Jin Zhao came over to chat with him politely for a moment before parting ways just as courteously.

Before leaving, Xu Huo asked him, "Have you and Miss Peng known each other for a long time?"

Jin Zhao nodded, "We are friends."

Xu Huo bid them farewell.

After he left, Peng Ru complained, "Why did you bother with him? It’s all his fault I ended up like this, and I had to hold that stinky child, now I smell all over!"

But Jin Zhao seemed thoughtful, "How could a child appear out of nowhere in the game? Even if she came from outside the instance, there shouldn’t be just one. That child might be the key. Let’s go back and take another look."

Seeing she couldn’t stop him, Peng Ru had no choice but to follow.

Elsewhere, Xu Huo found Yan Jiayu and Tang Xiao, and the three of them managed to use up the remaining game points and successfully cleared the instance with ten hats collected.

When they received the notification, Tang Xiao couldn’t believe it, "Is that it? We cleared it just like that?"

"The game notification wouldn’t lie," Yan Jiayu said.

"No, I mean, that was quick," he acknowledged the struggle. "I’ve been in the game for a long time, and if I didn’t get out soon, I might miss the next instance."

"Didn’t we catch it just in time?" Xu Huo said. In truth, the difficulty of this instance laid in the misleading information, leading players to make incorrect judgments on top of arranging fake game points. Moreover, there were random locations that would only appear after a considerable amount of time. Even if players noticed contradictions between the instance’s requirements and the playing guide, after realizing passing all ten game points did not clear the instance, it was still easy for their thoughts to circle back to the old path.

"I really appreciate you guys," Tang Xiao said gratefully.

"Don’t mention it," Yan Jiayu smiled and replied, "Helping others is helping yourself."

"By the way," Xu Huo seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Under what circumstances would a non-Cannibal Player’s physical strength double, and their skin also undergo some changes?"

"Potion?" Tang Xiao rubbed his head, "Can you describe it in more detail?"

Xu Huo roughly described the changes to his hands when he fought Brother Tu, "It doesn’t seem like it’s an animal trait."

"That should be Super Evolution," Tang Xiao realized right away, "Usually players evolve by drinking potions, and some stamina potions can temporarily increase physical strength, but the side effects are significant, leaving the body weak for a long time after the effects wear off. If the player you mentioned doesn’t have this symptom, it’s very likely to be Super Evolution."

"All players are evolving, but Super Evolution is a different kind specialized process, more like a species mutation."

"Like what you described, some researchers say that after Super Evolution, people can independently control parts of their bodies, achieving localized enhancement, different from traits. Normally it has no special restrictions; it all depends on personal strength."

Xu Huo fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything else apart from physical strength?"

"I’ve heard there’s a lot, some even can directly control objects," Tang Xiao explained vaguely as he wasn’t too clear on the details himself.

"Telekinesis?" Yan Jiayu showed interest, "How can one undergo Super Evolution?"

Tang Xiao gave a wry smile and shook his head, "If I knew, I would’ve tried it already. I guess it might have to do with each person’s talent. Some people undergo Super Evolution, some don’t."

"But telekinesis is amazing," Yan Jiayu said, "you wouldn’t need any tools, it would be much more convenient in a fight."

"Players evolve with a variety of traits; some players’ traits can directly affect the air, Super Evolution might be similar," Xu Huo added, "It’s just not known if it requires potions."

"Have you bought information about this?" he asked further.

Tang Xiao felt awkward, "I’m kind of poor."

"But if you guys have money, you can go to a specialized information agency in the game world and buy information. Everything the game’s backend provides comes from official sources, you know."

Xu Huo nodded slightly, ready to leave the replica.

Tang Xiao hesitated and then said, "That, could you tell me how you cleared the game? I have a few teammates who have been stuck in the replica for a long time... I can trade you some items in exchange!"

Yan Jiayu praised him, saying "Good man," and then said to Xu Huo, "If he doesn’t have enough, I can add to it."

Tang Xiao was immensely touched and grabbed her hand, shaking it vigorously, "I really can’t thank you enough, Sister Jiayu. If you ever come to my place, I will make sure to treat you well. Here’s my business card."

"Hundred Yuan Item Store? Oh, you’re a boss too," Yan Jiayu glanced at it.

"Just a small business," Tang Xiao also handed one to Xu Huo, "Selling some daily-use props, pick anything for a hundred White Notes."

"Item store, do you know an Artifact Maker?" Xu Huo kept the business card.

"I deal with some Artifact Makers, but not those who can make particularly powerful items," Tang Xiao explained.

After symbolically accepting some White Notes from him, Xu Huo revealed the location of the tenth game point and added, "You’d better clear it soon, or the amusement park might change the location of the game."

Tang Xiao promised repeatedly, and with that, the three of them parted ways, with Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu exiting the replica.
