Chapter 2562
"Bright Gentleman?" Xu Huo pushed her face a bit further away.
"A little like, but not quite." The Girl in the painting thought for a moment, "Anyway, it smells nice. I want it."
"Those three probably aren’t the kind of people you can just rob." Xu Huo signaled her to calm down.
But the Girl in the painting retorted, "Why rob? Can’t I just ask her for it directly?"
Xu Huo was taken aback, paused, and said, "If you can get it, sure."
The Girl in the painting originally wanted to act immediately but remembered what he said earlier and sat back with restraint, "I’ll go tomorrow."
Before turning off the lights, Xu Huo planned to return to his room to rest. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to prepare a room for the Girl in the painting; it was when they arrived, there was only one empty room left. The Girl in the painting routinely wanted to squeeze in with him, but in the end, she only got a table. She looked longingly at the bed, feeling very aggrieved.
"Stop pretending." Xu Huo took out a sleeping bag; upon seeing this, the Girl in the painting immediately jumped onto the bed, pushing him off, and deliberately said, "The floor is yours!"
Looking at the "painting" pretending to sleep with closed eyes, Xu Huo could only crawl into the sleeping bag.
The sleep was decent that night. Although the door to the rear carriage was damaged, players from carriage 4 didn’t come out to cause trouble, and the minor commotion in carriage 3 was negligible.
The Girl in the painting woke up early. As soon as the lights came on, she eagerly went to the rear carriage to find that female player. Xu Huo, seeing no one had any intention of fighting, proceeded to have breakfast and began studying how to crack the Water Rubik’s Cube.
Regarding the Super Instruments, the information on Beneath the Dimension was quite unreliable. He spent a bit of money on the reward platform to buy some responses from Artifact Makers, but what they said about spatial-type Super Instruments was not very clear either. The core idea was, to deal with spatial-type instruments, it’s best to use similar forces, like spatial-type Interference Devices. They also provided some feasible plans.
Reaching the level of a Super Instrument is absolutely not something ordinary props can destroy. If the spatial instrument involves a time device, one can use Time Force to destroy the device within to achieve the goal of breaking the instrument. If there is no time device, then one can only seek breakthroughs from the instrument itself. The most familiar with instruments are definitely Artifact Makers, but those who can create Super Instruments are not ordinary Artifact Makers, and many instruments are actually not completely made by Artifact Makers; advanced technology assistance is indispensable in this. Therefore, the best approach is to go to a Rank-A Wormhole Point.
Among companies willing to help, Rank-A Wormhole Points have quite a few capable of assistance if you can afford it.
Xu Huo wasn’t foolish enough to go to Rank-A Wormhole Points to cause trouble. He searched for famous Artifact Makers again, apart from Eye of Platinum and some that are generally unseen by ordinary people on the game leaderboard. The indicator of C9 Wormhole Point is relatively well-known, and coincidentally, this time he was using C9 Wormhole Point tickets, so checking them out along the way was fine.
While searching for information, he noticed that pregnant female player went to the bathroom multiple times, each time returning looking worse.
Players can apply to pause their player identity to leave an instance, but after pausing the player identity, the personal panel will be closed, and characteristics, props, and potions cannot be used; tickets must be reused to reopen. During the pause, players will neither accumulate absences from instances nor need to worry about high-risk randomness afterwards.

A soft one directly collapsed to the ground, and with two claps, the whole person was squashed into minced meat smudged into the carpet.
Two attendants silently came forward with props replacing the carpet, swiftly removing the mixed odors in the air, restoring the restaurant’s fragrant food atmosphere as if nothing had happened.
"Why are you looking at me?" The female player’s gaze suddenly turned towards the Girl in the painting.
The Girl in the painting turned over when she started tapping the glass, lying directly on the back of the chair, staring straight at the opponent, without moving her eyes at all. Hearing the female player’s words, she poked a few times on the Communicator, "I want to wear your clothes too."
The meaning was unclear, and this sentence could even be considered provocative, but the female player laughed, raised her hand, and tossed one at her, "This is apprentice clothes, not everyone can wear it. If you like clocks, this is the same."
Compared to "apprentice clothes," what the female player gave looked very pretty; a simple pullover with clock patterns pieced together from fine gemstones front and back, worlds away from printed designs.
The Girl in the painting performed an on-the-spot outfit change, stroking the gemstones on the clothes with a smile, then pulled out a relatively pretty prop from the backpack — she picked this from Xu Huo’s pile of loot, not knowing its exact effect, as it had been in her bag since the Super Dungeon venue; now it was gifted to the female player in reciprocation.
The female player slightly raised an eyebrow in surprise upon receiving it, "Exchanging a piece of A-Rank prop for a piece of clothing, even people from Rank-A Wormhole Points aren’t as generous as you."
The Girl in the painting didn’t care a bit, waving with a smile, indicating it’s truly a gift for her.
The female player glanced at Xu Huo, seeing his disinterested demeanor, smiled, then got up and walked over to the Girl in the painting, slightly leaned down, softly chuckled as she traced her finger over her cheek, "You are truly beautiful."
After speaking, this woman left the restaurant first, followed by two other men, who winked at the Girl in the painting before leaving.
The Girl in the painting touched the spot the woman had just touched, turned back to ask Xu Huo, "Was she flirting with me?"
"Maybe." Xu Huo replied, "Do you want to hit her?"
The Girl in the painting shook her head, "She smells nice, I want to touch her too."
"Then next time ask if she’s willing." Xu Huo stood up, "Lights-off time is approaching, let’s head back to the carriage first."
The two walked through the carriage towards the front, only to find there was a fight happening in carriage 4 behind them. The previous apprentice clothes trio happened to be in this carriage. Seeing Xu Huo and the Girl stopping in the transition carriage, the male player stood up and clapped, "Stop for a moment, someone wants to pass, don’t block the way."
The few players who were originally confronting each other in the carriage looked at each other and actually put away their props.
Dozens of eyes, overtly and covertly, scrutinized them as if trying to decipher something. As Xu Huo passed, he nodded slightly at the trio, and they all responded to varying degrees. As for the Girl in the painting, happily waved to the female player, who also raised her hand.
Seeing the person walking beside her about to veer off, Xu Huo pressed her shoulder first, "Chat tomorrow if you want."
The Girl in the painting had no choice but to leave with him.
Back in carriage 3, Xu Huo finally asked the Girl in the painting, "Why do you like her so much?"
The Girl mimicked others, looking left and right, then leaned towards his ear... and raised the Communicator, "She has the smell of medal on her."
