Chapter 397: Chapter 397: A Serious TestAfter reaching this conclusion, Xu Huo unconsciously frowned. In such a vast game world, how difficult it was for two players from different game zones to meet by fate, unless they were subconsciously
"I guessed," Xu Huo hadn’t been certain before; he only knew fragmented pieces of information.
"Your guess is not bad, indeed there is a batch of smuggled weapons to be delivered here," Madame Butterfly said, "And I’m not the only one with an eye on these weapons."
"Weapons will be transported through the station, by damaging some of the stops, if someone wants to steal the weapons, they would act at the remaining stations," Xu Huo said.
Someone inside Rongxin Group had leaked information about the weapons, then players in the Lower City district bribed other players to cause trouble at the base to prevent them from repairing the station, leaving several stops more convenient for ambush.
Madame Butterfly took out a projector and cast a map of the main subdivision of Zone 011 onto the walls of the study, with several decommissioned stops already marked on it.
"The likelihood of taking action at the station is very slim," she said, "Players deliberately damaging the station is a very grave matter, and if they do make a move, they would use other means, not openly wage battle at the station."
Xu Huo thought of the storage room at the dock, "Rongxin has already found out the news has leaked."
She also understood the matter of capturing people in the game.
"Even if the news leaks, the weapons will still be delivered on time," Madame Butterfly said, "Such inter-district transactions are difficult to cancel, especially since they’re not bought through normal channels."
Xu Huo carefully reviewed her annotations on the map, then suddenly said, "Are you planning to steal the weapons by yourself? What about your Cultists?"
"Just kidding, and you believed that." Madame Butterfly approached him and said as she raised her hand, "Don’t move."
Before her hand could get close, Mr. Dong appeared quietly at their side.
Madame Butterfly smiled, retracted her hand, then opened her fan and said to him, "You also know about this, so why don’t you speculate on which station the weapons will come through and come up with a heist plan? If the plan you provide satisfies me, how about I teach you something else?"
Her tone was ambiguous by the end, leaving much to the imagination.
However, Xu Huo caught the scrutinizing coldness in her eyes. He said, "You trust me that much?"
"No choice, you inherited the Rose Castle," Madame Butterfly nonchalantly flicked her fan, "I would also like to have the Rose Castle, but Mr. He Pu was unwilling to give it to me. If you can’t handle this little thing, I believe he wouldn’t be angry if I killed you and then took over the castle."
She then turned to Mr. Dong, "Don’t come disturbing me again next time, or I’ll skin you."
Having said that, she left the study with the map. Xu Huo turned to ask Mr. Dong, "Is she really a friend of Mr. He Pu?"
Mr. Dong nodded, "Before Sir passed away, he used to send her gifts every year."
Xu Huo pondered, then took out the Diamond Key, "Do you know where the lock for this key is?"
"There’s an address on it," Mr. Dong said, "Mr. He Pu used to go store things alone, are you going to go and get it?"
