Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 980: Team Reward Distribution Plan

Chapter 980: Chapter 980: Team Reward Distribution Plan

"Games usually assign clearance rewards based on the players’ performance in the instance and the characteristics of their profession. Compared to individual rewards, the quantity of clearance rewards isn’t much, but each one is top-notch.

At the scene, everyone was a Rank-C Player, and the most they could get from an instance were Rank-C Items. Rank-B props were already rare, let alone Rank A Props. After seeing this, even Kuang Wenjun and Pan Qiao showed a bit of regret.

"You all don’t want to speak up, so I’ll play the villain," Zhu Feiyun asked Xu Huo directly, "How do you want to divide them?"

"The Rank A Prop and the main characteristic upgrades are mine, the rest you can divide," Xu Huo said.

To Shangguan Xi and the others, this didn’t seem excessive. After all, he had been the main force behind this clearance. Zhu Feiyun and three others had left partway and then rejoined. During the process, identifying the truth, triggering the side mission, discovering Bird Tower, and arranging the Antitoxin had all been accomplished mainly by him.

"Brother Xu, you’re being too polite," Shangguan Xi said with a grin, "Why don’t you take another item? The rest will be hard for us to divide."

Three props and two cubic luggage bay spaces were certainly not easy to divide. Whoever took the luggage bay space would feel shortchanged.

"I’ve already said it, Pan Qiao and I won’t take the team reward," Kuang Wenjun stated again, "A promise made must be kept. Our share goes to Brother Xu. You two don’t have any objections, right?"

She didn’t ask Xu Huo but directly named Shangguan Xi and Zhu Feiyun. Her willingness to give up the rewards was solely because of Xu Huo; of course, she didn’t want any benefits going to these two.

"I don’t mind," Shangguan Xi shrugged, "I’ll be happy with my share."

Zhu Feiyun actually wanted to argue, but noticing Xu Huo glance at him, he swallowed his words—forget about four against one; he wasn’t sure he could win even one on one. He didn’t want to end up having to forfeit and leave without getting any props.

In the end, he took "Still Approach," Shangguan Xi chose "Face Plant," and the remaining Special item "Lifelike Wax Figure" along with the two cubic luggage bay spaces went to Xu Huo.

The remaining Tickets, Potions, and discount coupons were divided among the three, while White Notes were all given to Kuang Wenjun and Pan Qiao. After looking over the Special item description, Xu Huo even gave them an additional five hundred thousand White Notes each.

"Brother Xu, you really don’t have to do this; our individual rewards this time are quite generous," Pan Qiao demurred.

Xu Huo simply laughed and said, "The Special item you gave up is very nice. I think it’s worth more than my Rank A Prop. Not having you take something back doesn’t sit right with me."

His forthright admission surprised everyone, but upon reflection, they realized no one present dared to cross him, and they understood.

"Special items are like opening blind boxes; if you’re unlucky, what you get is nearly useless. You just got lucky," Zhu Feiyun remarked sourly.

"Can’t you stand it?" Shangguan Xi slapped his thigh and hopped up onto his chair, pointing at him and asked, "Guess what use my ’Face Plant’ has!"

Zhu Feiyun didn’t want to take this bait and stood to walk toward the bar, but after two steps, he stepped on a bottle on the floor and went sprawling, his face firmly planted on the ground!

"Shangguan Xi!" he spat out, teeth clenched, as he got up.

Shangguan Xi hopped behind Xu Huo, guffawing, "This prop can limit flying. In other words, next time I see someone flying high and showing off, I can ensure they face-plant immediately!"

Zhu Feiyun’s face twisted in anger, ready to lash out, when Xu Huo timely interrupted them, "We’ve cleared the game; when are you leaving?"

"We’re on our way out," Kuang Wenjun said. "Base City probably has a lot of people looking for us by now. It’s better to leave earlier to avoid complications."

A touch of a smile appeared on her pale face. "This instance has been quite enlightening; I hope there’s a chance to work together again in the future."

"If Brother Xu needs someone to clear with, you can find us Beneath the Dimension," Pan Qiao added.

Xu Huo nodded in response, "Safe travels."

After the farewells, the two disappeared from their seats.

Xu Huo turned around; Zhu Feiyun had left, leaving only Shangguan Xi, who hesitated before saying, "Brother Xu, are you planning to find Doctor Zhang?"

"I saw how badly Luo Changren was duped, that doctor isn’t much of a doctor, and finding Dr. Wu through him might be difficult."

Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "What are you trying to say?"

"I actually know a place, where someone might have a lead on Dr. Wu," Shangguan Xi said, hesitantly offering a business card, "At this place, show the card and someone will come to meet you."

Xu Huo glanced at the business card, which only had specific Wormhole Points, a zone, and an address, with neither a name nor contact information.

"E20-002, what a coincidence, it’s in the same zone as Doctor Zhang."

"It’s quite a coincidence, but I’m definitely more reliable than some doctor," Shangguan Xi boasted confidently, thumping his chest, "You’ll see when you get there... Brother Xu, don’t worry. I still hope you’ll take me for a clearance when you’re free. I wouldn’t harm you!"

Xu Huo casually acknowledged, "I’ll keep the card. Thanks."

"No need for thanks." Shangguan Xi looked outside the door, "Brother Xu, I’ll be going now."

As he left, only Luo Changren remained. Realizing that the Law Enforcement Team had found the place, he let out a wry smile, "I hadn’t yet managed to buy the non-Player Tickets."

Xu Huo placed a ticket on the table, "I bought it random; you can take it if you need it."

Luo Changren hesitated, looking at him and once again suspecting his intentions, "I’ve already told you everything valuable I know."

Xu Huo poured another drink and took a sip before replying, "Can’t it be because I’m in a good mood?"

Luo Changren hadn’t really seen it but, not wanting to miss the opportunity, he picked up the ticket and said, "That’s harder to believe than you saying you’re a good person."

Xu Huo genuinely laughed, "I am in a good mood indeed; Gao Xiaoyan is about to arrive. Aren’t you going?"

Luo Changren gripped the ticket tightly, nodded slightly at Xu Huo, and left.

Now Xu Huo was alone in the bar, and the shopkeeper, having come to, advised him in a low voice, "You should leave now."

"No rush, bring me a clean cup."

The shopkeeper did as requested.

As Xu Huo poured the drink, Gao Xiaoyan entered.

She sat down next to Xu Huo, downed the drink in one go, and wiped her mouth, "I’ve lived for thirty years, and I’ve never seen someone who pokes their nose into others’ business as much as you!"

Xu Huo refilled her cup, "Mind your image, Mayor Gao."

Gao Xiaoyan gave a light scoff, "You expect a woman in power to be a prim and proper lady? That’s as fanciful as expecting a man not to lust."

"Having saved so many people, the instance rating mustn’t be low, right? Isn’t it time to honor our agreement?"
