Chapter 1700: Chapter 1700: Duplicate Tickets

As the two main characters of the arena battle didn’t make a move, the others had to wait within the range of characteristics. Although they already knew this arena hadn’t disappeared, they still couldn’t help but be secretly amazed when they saw it again the next morning.

Perhaps they had never seen such a lasting characteristic; it had been over eight hours already.

“Your characteristic won’t keep going forever, will it?” Skyward Braid tentatively asked the Hat Player.

The Hat Player just smiled without speaking.

Xu Huo at least rested for a while, stretching after waking up, and opened the menu to order food.

“Such a lavish breakfast, with meat and soup.” Skyward Braid said slightly enviously and couldn’t help but add, “Aren’t you afraid someone might tamper with it?”

Xu Huo sat at a table, glanced at him, and said, “Do you think it’s more important to tamper with my food to help your partners or to save your own life?”

Skyward Braid was startled, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Whether you are train robbers and whether you can successfully hijack the train has little to do with me. I only have one request: don’t bother me.” Xu Huo looked at him and then glanced at the Fire-Borrower Female Player in the room, “What do you think?”

This undoubtedly exposed the fact that the two knew each other and were indeed robbers. He then continued, “Where is your dead companion now? If I’m not mistaken, he must have controlled the water to kill that female player and slipped away quietly through the service passage last night. But he didn’t turn on the lights or destroy the carriage when the Different Species Group boarded, proving that your communication is smooth. Please let me know in advance and stop flooding the carriage.”

Skyward Braid and the Fire-Borrower Female Player’s first reaction was, of course, to refute, but for some reason, when they met Xu Huo’s eyes, they suddenly felt as if a frog in their throats stopped them, and the danger sensed by their instincts sent a chill down their spines. Even after realizing this, they couldn’t utter a word.

“So you really are train robbers!” The Broken Finger Player coldly glanced at them, “I wonder how many companions you have on the train, enough to be shared among all of us!”

Given the situation, whether or not they were train robbers, Skyward Braid and the Fire-Borrower Female Player were sure to be excluded by other players. Therefore, they immediately left the carriage without saying a word, and as they stood in the transition compartment, the latter glared at Xu Huo and said, “Since you’re so capable, why pretend to be a grandson!”

Xu Huo ignored her, and the Fire-Borrower Female Player felt awkward. After speaking, she turned to leave, but who would have thought she’d be stopped halfway through the transition compartment. She and Skyward Braid collided with the arena’s barrier, both taking two steps back and reaching out to grasp at the air in front of them.

An invisible wall blocked their way, and of course, they wouldn’t just stand idly by. So, they tried various props, but unfortunately, they still couldn’t open a passage.

After exchanging a glance, they put some distance between each other, making a guarded stance and then looked at the Hat Player in the carriage.

The Hat Player leisurely made himself a cup of tea and said unhurriedly, “I’m only interested in the competition between those two. You happen to be the extras, and since you’re on the black side, you should watch from here. How can you switch camps halfway?”

It was evident that both players were holding back a belly full of curses. Skyward Braid said, “You can’t retract your characteristic, right? How can such a strong characteristic have no limitations? You’ve designated them as the main characters. If they don’t fight, you can only watch!”

“You guessed right.” The Hat Player shrugged, “So I have no choice either, unless you can figure out a way to break this intermission barrier.”

The Fire-Borrower Female Player looked at Xu Huo unconsciously, while Xu Huo was also turning to look at them.

“Spoken too soon,” chuckled the Eyebrow-Scar Player.

What else could the Fire-Borrower Female Player and her companion do? They could only each take up one side of the carriage door, guarding against Xu Huo’s attack.

The mechanical dining car soon delivered the dishes Xu Huo ordered, and he ate while conversing with the Golden-Eyed Player.

Of course, they weren’t talking face-to-face since both sat by the window, not even seeing each other’s silhouettes, but that didn’t hinder their conversation since they could hear each other.

Xu Huo had little doubt about the Golden-Eyed Player being a Bounty Hunter and highly regarded his professional ethics. After all, he offered an equivalent price, and the other party didn’t even hesitate. Even though he might not pay that money, being unmoved by temptation made him a principled person.

Xu Huo was more curious about how he tracked him, “As far as I know, Temporary Passes don’t have a following function. It can’t be a coincidence that both you and I picked the nearest train.”

The Golden-Eyed Player didn’t respond, clearly not wanting to answer this question. Instead, it was the Broken Finger Player, who boarded with them, who said, “I’ve heard about this. In games, there are special rewards. Among them is one similar to tickets, allowing you to copy the nearest player’s tickets within a certain time without having tickets yourself. This reward is said to only appear in the clearance list of players with very high ticket consumption. A bounty hunter fits this condition.”

Xu Huo understood, special rewards, like the Medal of the Radiant Gentleman and the Heart of the Child. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩

“How many times can this reward generally be copied?” he asked.

“It should only be usable once unless he has obtained this reward multiple times,” the Broken Finger Player said.

“Bounty Hunter, do you have more?” Xu Huo asked into the air.

The Golden-Eyed Player ignored his probing, instead saying, “As long as the item is in your hands, I can find you whether I have it or not.”

“A bounty hunter’s mission is not limited by time.”

Xu Huo calmly finished his meal and then began reviewing the instance area he would soon be going to.

He had chosen the tickets in Chaotic Space ahead of time, and while selecting, he had done some preliminary research on the district corresponding to the tickets. Therefore, the district he was about to reach was one with many Advanced Dungeons and also included random instances.

Choosing this ticket was initially to deter the Golden-Eyed Player from showing up when he was heading to the instance district. Unexpectedly, this person still followed him this far, showing a clear intent to enter the district together.

D03-019, Green Sunshine Station.

According to the information gathered from Beneath the Dimension, there are many instances near this station. As for which instance the tickets represent, it would only be revealed after getting off the train and following the prompts.

However, a lot of information about Zone 019 is accessible because this district is the origin place of a very rare gemstone called Emerald. Just relying on gemstone exports allows the entire district’s people to live in abundance, so it’s a technologically developed district.

With enough money, any industry can thrive. Zone 019 is rich in minerals; its terrain and the evolution of plants have somewhat been influenced, thus resulting in some very peculiar landscapes that are enough to promote tourism development. The affluent Zone 019 Government generously satisfies the needed infrastructure for local tourism, rapidly developing transport, accommodation, and corresponding dining and entertainment industries with monetary support.
