Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Chapter 2403: Merchant

The Gemstone Earring Man carefully observed Xu Huo’s expression, his face somewhat grim as he said, "Are you joking?""What do you think?" Xu Huo countered.

This time, the Gemstone Earring Man lost his previous composure, but after pondering for a moment, he said, "The spatial state within the castle probably can’t be maintained for long. Even if it could, aren’t there other players here? As long as they’re active in the castle, there’s a chance they could stimulate the space here, possibly causing the door to reappear."

In fact, this spatial body room was constantly shifting, sometimes large, sometimes small, which made them anxious, fearing the spatial body might suddenly contract, squeezing their activity space.

"There’s no better solution now." Xu Huo simply sat down on the ground, using one hand to support the undulating spatial body on the floor, while he observed its structure.

The fluctuations of the spatial power seemed chaotic, but they actually had their own order, which is why the spatial body could exist within a certain range.

The Defensive Barrier on him sparked with colorful halos, seemingly resonating with the spatial body in the room. His constant interaction with the spatial body kept the entire room in a rather unstable state.

The Girl in the painting, feeling bored, played a game on the side, but her skills were not good, resulting in repeated deaths with repetitive sounds, which gradually irritated the Gemstone Earring Man, who was waiting nearby, "Can’t you stop playing?"

The Girl in the painting glanced up, then turned up the volume.

The Gemstone Earring Man looked at Xu Huo with some helplessness, but the latter was still not attending to serious matters, continuing to probe the spatial body, even intensifying by pushing both hands into the ground.

"Can you also stop that?"

Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.

In such a situation, he couldn’t afford to make enemies, so after sitting idly for a while, he stood up and attempted to use a Spatial Instrument to send out his coordinates.

In a space filled with spatial bodies, even if they’re confined within a certain range not affecting the use of the Spatial Instrument, it doesn’t mean the instrument will necessarily work, let alone send out coordinates.

However, this situation was within his expectation. The Gemstone Earring Man didn’t give up but instead took out all potentially useful instruments he carried and hung them on himself, hoping for some luck.

The instruments he carried were rather ornate, almost each embedded with expensive gemstones. Normally, wearing such instruments on clothing would look messy, but his attire was custom-made, so hanging these instruments was not cumbersome, but rather pleasing to the eye, especially when a brooch was pinned, the entire coat emitted a different sheen.

Clearly, this clothing was also a Prop.

After searching in vain for a long time, the Gemstone Earring Man took out some nutrient supplements and shared them with Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting.

In the game, there’s a rumor that long-term consumption of nutrient supplements has adverse effects on players’ bodies, potentially causing degradation or delaying Evolution, but because of the large pitfalls associated with Evolution Potion, players worry about exhibiting degradation symptoms and thus avoid taking nutrient supplements, preferring to carry a few packs of compressed biscuits rather than nutrient supplements.

The Gemstone Earring Man, however, smiled and said, "These are not ordinary nutrient supplements. They’re developed by my family and only replenish the energy the human body needs, with no side effects."

"I’ll taste it." The Girl in the painting, having no such concerns, took it and poured it into her mouth. After drinking it, her eyes brightened, and she reached out for another.

The Gemstone Earring Man demonstrated the variety of flavors, "Sweet-flavored nutrient supplements have the broadest appeal, and our family’s supplements add more flavor elements to that base, making them popular with both adults and children."

"Does your family deal in nutrient supplements?" Xu Huo also took a pack but did not drink it, "Rather than a nutrient supplement, it’s more like a type of concentrate, isn’t it?"

"Better than a concentrate," said the Gemstone Earring Man, "Concentrates are similar to compressed biscuits, merely turning food into liquid. Nutrient supplements can help people quickly recover energy. In this regard, my supplements are the same as those sold on the game platform, except these don’t have any additional elements, hence no side effects."

"In fact, in nature, many juices extracted from evolved plants are sufficient for players in emergencies, there’s no need to add extra functions to nutrient supplements."

"That’s why our family’s supplements have always been popular."

Xu Huo handed the nutrient supplement he was holding to the Girl in the painting as well, "What made you think of coming to a place like the Fish Banquet for experience?"

"Anyone with a bit of insight should know this isn’t a good place."

"Whether it’s good or not should be viewed from multiple perspectives," said the Gemstone Earring Man, "After knives and firearms were invented, some people used them as tools to change life, while others used them as weapons of murder. Tools themselves are neither good nor bad; it’s people who are."

"The Fish Banquet may not be a good place, but from another perspective, it’s attracting some players who enjoy causing trouble. Rather than letting them wreak havoc in districts, at least here they can fight each other and avoid harming ordinary people."

"Players are energetic, and forcibly controlling them easily leads to issues. It’s better to let them vent."

"Is this how player families manage their members?" Xu Huo said lightly, "Are you also planning to create a Fish Banquet Building?"

The Gemstone Earring Man just smiled, "Not on such a large scale, but after some downsizing, it’s feasible. This also alleviates the District Government’s burden."

"Although I’m a player, my primary identity is a businessman. Like many, I also wish for peace in the game world, because in peace, everyone’s life improves."

"High rewards can often attract daredevils."

The young man’s smile looked somewhat profound amidst the light and shadow, "Accommodating and eliminating some unstable factors is beneficial for everyone."

After a pause, he regained his previous demeanor and said with a grin, "I know many players are biased against player families like ours, feeling we don’t care about ordinary players. As you can see, everyone traveling with us respects Uncle Ma greatly. He was our family’s Butler before becoming a player by chance. Our family invested a lot of effort and time in assisting him to achieve what he has today; we’re not in an ordinary employment relationship."

"If I’m missing for three days and can’t be found, or if other companions are, he will leave on his own."

Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "You dare say such things."

The premise for coexistence between the two was that the Ma Family Elder might come to rescue them. Without this hope, killing him would not only relieve a burden but also gain a windfall—this was an alternative plan for the invited players.

The Gemstone Earring Man was not panicked; instead, he said, "I have good judgment, but I trust Uncle Ma won’t leave easily. Even if he can’t find the living, he’ll find the dead before leaving."

"This is a two-way choice."

"Understood," Xu Huo said, "You want to hire me."

The Gemstone Earring Man waved his hand, "A Super Evolver like you wouldn’t easily be employed, especially when your prospects are in the game."

"However, if you’re interested, you might learn about how player families cultivate Super Evolvers. As long as you have the ability, family members like me will make concessions. Just like I did for Uncle Ma."

Xu Huo had already seen it. The Werna Family was the best example, with Super Player Hua Han Werna not even being part of the family.
