Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 323 Sunflower Squad

Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Sunflower Squad

This reminded Xu Huo of the scene where people lined up to jump off the Hai City Building; compared to other artifacts, those involving mental suggestion were incredibly difficult to guard against.

"You’re asking so many details, you couldn’t have evolved as well, could you?" Brother Tu’s abstract face struggled to express surprise.

Xu Huo glanced at him lightly, and Brother Tu subconsciously rolled his eyeballs in another direction.

He picked up the picture frame and flopped onto the bed, his thoughts bouncing between the S-type Evolutionary Agent and the intermediary artifact. S-type artifacts were hard to come by, but the corresponding artifacts should not be so rare, perhaps they could be purchased in the game world.

Seeing him with his eyes closed, the Girl in the painting unpacked the blanket next to him and covered him from feet to head.

Xu Huo lifted his hand to pull off the blanket, "Go back to sleep."

The Girl in the painting hesitated, unwilling to leave. She touched the edge of his blanket with a look of wanting to sleep there.

"If you can’t sleep, go clean up." Xu Huo turned off the bedside lamp.

The Girl in the painting lingered for a while before climbing back onto the wall, turning into a painting affixed above the bed, her eyes staring straight at the bed.

Xu Huo reached into the drawer for an eye mask.

After a good night’s sleep, when Yan Jiayu opened the door, she saw the Girl in the painting coming out of Xu Huo’s room. She asked bluntly, "Are you Xu Huo’s girlfriend?"

The Girl in the painting shyly smiled, pointed to the apron she was wearing, and indicated that she was going out to buy breakfast, even asking Yan Jiayu if she wanted anything.

"I like eating steamed buns with porridge in the morning." Yan Jiayu said with a smile, "They haven’t gotten up yet, so I’ll go with you to buy them."

The Girl in the painting hooked arms with her, and the two left the house closely bonded.

Just as the two of them left, Xu Huo got up. When he finished his morning routine and came out, he saw Yan Jiayu setting up bowls and chopsticks at the dining table, beckoning him to have breakfast.

His gaze moved from her bedraggled hair to the Patchwork Clothes and finally to the cloth shoes on her feet; he asked, "Where did Yan Jiayu go? Haven’t I told you not to casually transform into someone else?"

The person by the dining table pouted and changed back to her original form, then took out her phone, "She’s gone to get a haircut."

Xu Huo nodded, and soon Yuan Yao and others came over from the opposite door, having breakfast and chatting together.

Liu Jia and Shen Xin were not from Ting City, but since they had no urgent matters to attend for the next couple of days, they planned to stay for a while.

"Last time you said you’d treat me to a meal, so I brazenly decided to stay." Liu Jia smiled embarrassedly.

"Then let’s all go together." Yuan Yao proposed excitedly, "We haven’t gone out for a meal together in ages. After we eat, we can find some activities and play until it gets dark before heading back!"

"Don’t you have to find a place to live?" Zhou Ning asked.

"Do I need to do that kind of thing myself?" Yuan Yao waved his hand grandly, "That’s what agents are for."

"Do you guys have things to do?" Xu Huo looked at Zhou Ning and Hu Wenhao.

Zhou Ning shook her head, "I just think it might be dangerous to run around during such a sensitive period."

"It shouldn’t be a problem to be around the Special Defense Department," Liu Jia said. "The Special Defense Department’s security setup is very solid, with 24-hour surveillance everywhere, no blind spots, and plenty of patrol teams. That’s why the nearby housing prices are so high. If it wasn’t for my joining the Special Defense Department, I couldn’t afford to live there."

Shen Xin looked toward Yuan Yao, "Can we still find a place to rent there?"

"If we can’t rent, I’ll buy. I have money," Yuan Yao patted his chest confidently.

Seeing him speak so confidently, no one else continued the topic, and not long after, Yan Jiayu came back with her messy hair tidied up, looking much fresher.

"You look much better like this." Liu Jia took her hand, "You should also change out of those clothes. Now that you’ve returned to lay life, it’s not good to wear Patchwork Clothes anymore. Girls should dress up pretty."

Yan Jiayu laughed and said, "I’ve gotten used to this, plus I don’t have money to buy clothes and shoes."

The others found it hard to believe. In fact, players weren’t that poor. Although Evolution Potions were scarce, many players were willing to exchange some less useful items for them. There were also potions no one wanted to trade, but those potions were very popular in the regular market since ordinary people could use them. So now, even Zhou Ning and the rest weren’t short of money.

"All my money went to others," Yan Jiayu said. "My master always says to do good deeds, that’s how you get good luck."

Once she said that, even Liu Jia didn’t know how to respond.

"Li Chun has plenty of clothes, and you’re about the same height. You could wear hers," Xu Huo said. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

"You make a good point," Yan Jiayu nodded, smiling at Girl in the painting, "Li Chun, could I borrow a set of clothes?"

Girl in the painting took her into the room, and when Yan Jiayu came out, she was in a long dress with a coat, and a sunflower hair clip was pinned to her hair.

She shyly pulled at the hem of her skirt, "Does it look good?"

"Gorgeous, gorgeous!" Yuan Yao instantly played up to her, giving a thumbs up, "Sister Jiayu is both sweet and cool, you look beautiful in a dress!"

Yan Jiayu was also very pleased and touched the hair clip on her head, "I want to take a photo to remember this."

"Why don’t we all take one together?" Zhou Ning suggested. "We’re friends who have been through life and death together, let’s have a photo to commemorate that."

"I’ll go get the camera," Yuan Yao immediately ran out.

Soon the camera was set up, and Xu Huo and a few others were gathered around the sofa, some sitting and some standing, keeping a certain distance but in harmony.

"Sister Jiayu, move a little more to the center... There," Yuan Yao adjusted the camera and quickly stepped to his reserved spot behind the sofa.

With a "click," the camera captured and forever preserved that moment.

After the photo was taken, everyone gathered around to look at it. Yuan Yao said, "Other players have established their organizations. How about we do the same?"

The others instinctively looked at Xu Huo, who was fiddling with his phone. Xu Huo looked up, "I have no objections."

Hu Wenhao was the first to respond, "I’ve wanted to do this for a while. I even thought of a name. How about Fierce Tiger Team?"

"That’s too tacky, lacks depth," Yuan Yao grimaced. "Might as well call it Speed, it’s got more prestige."

"That’s not fun," Shen Xin glanced at the hair clip on Yan Jiayu’s head and said, "How about Sunflower Squad?"

"Sunflowers always face the sun. We also hope that we, our families, and our country have a bright future."

"That’s good," Yan Jiayu nodded seriously. "Plus, the seeds are edible."

As she spoke, she took out a bag of sunflower seeds, handed them around to everyone, and said, "Should we have a secret code? We might not recognize each other in the game."

"Bald eagle covers the tiger!" Yuan Yao reacted on impulse.

"That code is too obvious. It’s better to set a secret code that’s not easy to detect in daily life," Shen Xin said.

"I have an idea!" Liu Jia said, "How about using flowers?"

"If we meet and it’s inconvenient to recognize each other, we can use flowers as a code. But having just one or two flowers is too common. Let’s do this, we’ll use the number three as our code. Three petals, three flowers, thirty flowers, they all count as a code."

"Does that work?" Hu Wenhao asked. "What if there are no flowers in the instance?"

"If there’s no flowers, use something else, whatever is handy," Yuan Yao said. "As long as it’s three, it’s fine."
