Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Talk Less, Do More

The dwarven player trying to disguise himself as a child, realizing he couldn’t escape, begged for mercy urgently, "I mean no harm; a group of players have blocked the staircase downstairs, and I couldn’t get through, so I thought I could hitch a ride with you. I swear I have no ill intentions towards you!"

His stature was indistinguishable from a child’s, but his voice was adult-like. However, his face was somewhat ugly, and when he looked up, he frightened the child in Xu Huo’s arms into leaning back away from him.

Xu Huo raised his hand, and the dwarven player thought he was going to kill him, so he immediately fell to his knees and began knocking his head on the ground, "Don’t kill me, I really have no intention to harm anyone! I have a lot of money, I can give it all to you, just so long as you don’t kill me! I can also help you get props and potions from the underground channels, whatever you want!"

"I currently don’t have a place to live," said Xu Huo.

"I have houses!" the dwarven player said excitedly, "I have lots of houses, you can live wherever you want!"

"Do you have one in Galaxy District?" Xu Huo asked.

"Galaxy District..." the dwarven player hesitated, his expression showing reluctance, but he soon gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! But, can you give me two hours to handle the procedures?"

Xu Huo checked the time, "Starting now, two hours from now?"

The dwarven player got up from the ground, "I’ll make the call right now, right this second..."

Xu Huo led the two of them downstairs and only after descending several floors did they encounter the group of players the dwarven player had mentioned, who were robbing others on the way. Judging by the known equipment they carried, these players weren’t high-level, probably hoping to take advantage of the chaos to gain something.

It was inconvenient to act with a child in tow, so he randomly chose a room in the hotel and went in, planning to exit through the window.

"Big, big bro, I can’t get down from so high up!" the dwarven player exclaimed upon seeing Xu Huo’s movements.

"You see that line on your body?" Xu Huo nodded with his chin, "I’ll jump first and land, you follow and jump, I assure you nothing will happen."

No sooner had he spoken than, without giving him a chance to bargain, he covered the boy’s eyes and jumped directly out of the window, using a string to decelerate and landing steadily a few seconds later.

A rescue team made of players and regular people was providing support nearby the hotel. Seeing Xu Huo jump from such a height, they cautiously avoided getting too close, until the boy shouted "Mommy" toward a spot in the crowd.

Xu Huo returned the child to his mother, then turned back to wave at the player looking out from the window, signaling him to jump down.

No one knew whether he was genuinely foolish or had a backup plan, but he actually took the leap, his scream briefly overshadowing the nearby rescue alarms.

Xu Huo tightened the kite string to capture the lightly drifting figure, and a few meters above the ground, steps appeared under the dwarven player’s feet. He sharply changed direction, landing on them and safely leaping to the ground.

Only after his feet touched the ground did he take a long breath of relief, "I must be blessed with a large fortune to survive this!"

"Do you have a car?" Xu Huo pulled him back to reality, unable to empathize with the relief.

"Yes, yes," the other party quickly led him to a nearby garage, explaining, "The banquet today attracted many people, and the hotel parking wasn’t sufficient, so we had to park the cars in the vicinity... Fortunately, that meant being safe, as the outside players don’t usually pick areas where players are concentrated to cause trouble, but who knew today a tough nut would show up."

"You’re from another zone, aren’t you? Did you just come out of an instance, or didn’t you manage to get into an instance yet? Let me tell you, you’ve got to get into an instance early; many players have already acquired props from there, it’s like picking them up for free!"

"By the way, what’s your esteemed name, big brother? My name is Bian Yongyi."

Bian Yongyi was driving a red convertible, and Xu Huo only remarked after getting in, "Don’t you think the car is too conspicuous?"

Bian Yongyi let out a dry laugh, "I had no choice; ordinary folks can’t get into that hotel, and regular cars won’t be let anywhere near it. Although I have some money, in today’s world, power is the true currency; you have to meet the right people to grease the palms..."

In other words, he was there to network.

Xu Huo searched for related news about Galaxy District. It was secure, but also expensive, and that was also because many players resided in the district, and to protect the families of these players, most of the staff members were also players.

However, considering the recent attack on the hotel, he didn’t feel that the place would be very safe; instead, it seemed like a big target.

But Bian Yongyi was insufficient even to enter the hotel; getting a house in such a district would be hard.

"That thing is, houses in Galaxy District are really in short supply. It’s not that I don’t want to get you one; I just couldn’t, but you don’t have to worry, big brother. I have a friend who lives in Galaxy District, and he’s currently out of town. I’ve called and arranged for you to stay at his place temporarily..." Bian Yongyi said and then glanced at him cautiously, "You’re not planning to stay here long term, are you?"

"It depends on the situation."

Bian Yongyi hesitated before saying, "Actually, I also have a house not far from Galaxy District. That house in Galaxy District, I really can’t make any decisions about it..."

Xu Huo didn’t pay attention to what he said next, focusing instead on the news.

The incident at the hotel had been settled. The player organization took action, and while it might not be possible to keep the outsiders in Zone 009, driving them out was not difficult. Live updates confirmed five intruders, two dead, and the other three, injured, had left Zone 009. Of course, they failed to grab the props they wanted.

In addition, several battles had started over item acquisition, and the player organization had publicly announced it would take charge immediately, determined not to let players from other zones steal props that belonged to Zone 009.

But according to insider information online, the items these people were after were just Rank-B props; it was just that they were obtained too easily, which fueled the players’ desire to compete.

"...Big brother, are you a Rank-B player?" Bian Yongyi suddenly said, "If not, then at least a Rank-C Player, right? Actually, I saw you rescue the artist Jiang Jiang. Thanks to your intervention, we got out of there much faster..."

"Less talk, more work," Xu Huo glanced at him.

Bian Yongyi immediately clamped his mouth shut, and half an hour later, they arrived at Galaxy District.

This area was a villa district, rife with surveillance cameras. Their images, including the car and its occupants, were sent to the monitoring station before they even approached the gate. As Bian Yongyi had given prior notice, they were let through by checkpoints manned with heavy weapons, and players even came to verify their identities along the way.

After some difficulty, they finally entered, and Bian Yongyi’s car was confiscated. They had to walk to the villa on foot.

The villa district was expansive; each building set apart by a certain distance. From the entrance to the villa Bian Yongyi borrowed, they would need to walk at least twenty minutes.

Xu Huo looked at Bian Yongyi, who returned the awkward gaze.

The two had no choice but to hoof it, but after not even two minutes, the gate opened again, and three cars roared into the villa compound, passing by them with enigmatic laughter.
