Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Tryout Effects of the Props

"This also helps avoid encountering random copies on the road," Wang Xiaohui said with a smile, showing none of the panic she had on the initial examination train.

Xu Huo glanced at the man standing beside her, "He’s the player who escorted you to the Second-Class Seat, right?"

Wang Xiaohui looked a little surprised, "You recognize him?"

Xu Huo knew from Nie Xuan that after the initial examination train ended, there was one surviving player from Third-Class Seat who was badly injured, had been treated in the hospital for two days, and then ran away on his own. He had been poisoned by an alien, and it was unexpected that he was still alive.

"Wei Mang was the first good person I met after entering the game," Wang Xiaohui said, placing her hands gently on her knees, "so I sought him out to try to slow the alien poison in his body. Maybe because of my disability, I got a lot of potions after completing copies, which, although not able to fully remove the toxins, can effectively delay them and let him live like a normal person."

"I lost my mother in a car accident when I was a few years old, my father is paralyzed, and the family business has always been controlled by my uncle. I had no assets to my name, which is why I was in Third-Class Seat when I entered the game."

Yuan Yao next to her already had a face full of pity, but Xu Huo still had the same expression as before, with no change in his demeanor or eyes.

Wang Xiaohui paused, then added, "However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, if I had been in a special seat, I might not have survived."

"Congratulations," Xu Huo scrutinized the woman opposite him, noting that she had now taken control of her family business, adopting the posture of an authoritative businesswoman.

"What do you want from me?" he said, "We can skip talking about the life-saving grace."

Wang Xiaohui smiled, "Alright, then I’ll get straight to the point."

She reached out and rolled up Wei Mang’s sleeve, revealing an arm covered in scars, but the scars weren’t the focus. His skin was riddled with a net of black and purple veins, covering a large area.

"I know you have a way to treat alien poison, so I want to ask you to save Wei Mang," she said earnestly. "Also, I’ve established two research institutes under my name, one specializing in alien poison. If you can provide me with an Antidote Fungus, you can take half of the future research profits."

"If you need an Evolution Potion or other potions, I can provide those as well."

"You can go to the Special Defense Department with this matter," Xu Huo said. "The Special Defense Department should have a new antitoxin available soon."

Wang Xiaohui’s smile faltered slightly, "I’m afraid Wei Mang won’t last until that day."

Yet Xu Huo just smiled, "Although he has been poisoned, his organs are functionally normal, and it hasn’t affected his daily life. It should be a new mutation that occurred during the evolution process, or during treatment. There doesn’t seem to be an immediate risk to his life, is there?"

Apart from the scars, Wei Mang’s physical condition was probably still stronger than that of an average player.

"Even so, I still hope to clear the alien poison from his body first," Wang Xiaohui said, her eyes reddening as she looked at him, "You can name your terms, whether it’s items, potions, or anything else, I will find a way."

Xu Huo did not answer, and after a while, Yuan Yao couldn’t hold back anymore, whispering, "Brother Xu, she... she can really bring a lot of high-level items, we won’t lose out on this deal."

Xu Huo simply looked at Wang Xiaohui, "Does your trait have to do with influencing others’ emotions?"

Wang Xiaohui looked surprised, but quickly adjusted her emotions and admitted frankly, "Appearing weak has almost become an instinct for me."

She seemed to realize that she was unlikely to find a breakthrough with Xu Huo, pausing before saying, "I understand that this is a difficult request, and I’m not too surprised by the outcome. However, I can still take you to Jing City, as travel is not convenient right now."

Xu Huo didn’t take her up on the offer, to Wang Xiaohui’s disappointment. She left her contact information, allowing Wei Mang to take her away.

"Miss Wang is leaving already?" Yuan Yao stood up to see her off, saying reluctantly, "Come and visit again when you’re free."

Wang Xiaohui said, "It’s not very convenient for me to go out, but you can also come to see me."

Yuan Yao nodded happily, "Sure, sure, maybe next time we’ll meet in the same copy."

Wang Xiaohui didn’t say more and left with Wei Mang.

When the helicopter was far away, Yuan Yao turned back to Xu Huo, "Brother Xu, why didn’t you cooperate with Wang Xiaohui? Although we can get items in the game, really good items are hard to come by and expensive to buy. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to have her money and people?"

"I thought you were getting carried away," Xu Huo took out the "Murmur Sphere" again.

Yuan Yao scratched his head, "I did find it a bit strange at first, but gradually I got used to it. She really does seem pitiful, right? I only realized what you meant after you mentioned it... I didn’t expect such traits to exist."

"While traits are linked to the chosen professions of players, they are more often derived from the players’ personalities and experiences. Given her condition, it’s not surprising," Xu Huo stated.

The Shield Trait she had used on the initial examination train was even more peculiar.

The Girl in the painting had finished tidying the room, and Xu Huo stood up, adding, "Sima Xiao’er might be coming later, he’s from the Special Defense Department and has been arranged to help me out. He might have to stay here for the next few days."

Yuan Yao indicated that it was fine.

After entering the room, Xu Huo closed the window and blocked the gap under the door, then activated the "Murmur Sphere."

Voices appeared in the quiet room, as if someone was whispering into his ear, with strange and seductive tones meant to make one unconsciously listen closely to what the voices were saying.

Xu Huo listened for a minute, feeling only a bit annoyed and nothing else. He looked up at the Girl in the painting, who was leaning against the wall playing with her phone, "Did you hear that?"

The Girl in the painting typed quickly and flipped her phone screen to face him, "Something is calling, doesn’t sound pleasant."

After Xu Huo asked in detail about the voice she heard, he found that what the Girl in the painting heard was completely different from what he had heard.

"Call Yuan Yao in for me," he requested.

By this time, Sima Xiao’er had also come up. After hearing from the Girl in the painting that Xu Huo needed help, he eagerly volunteered and came in with Yuan Yao.

Once the two men were in the room, Xu Huo again sealed the window and door and placed the "Murmur Sphere" in front of them.

At first, Sima Xiao’er was curiously leaning over and asking, "What’s this item that can make sounds?"

But after half a minute, both he and Yuan Yao’s expressions changed, and they looked at the sphere in fear. Then they began rubbing their eyes, pinching themselves, and after some struggling, as if giving up, they started shouting and running around the room uncontrollably, even making attacking gestures toward empty spaces.

After a few minutes, the "Murmur Sphere" also changed, with a layer of black smoke emerging around the sphere.

"Can you see it?" he asked the Girl in the painting.

The Girl in the painting shook her head.

Xu Huo paused, then tried to release his psychic power.
