Chapter 2536: Did Eating Bird Droppings Make You Grow So Tall?
Xu Huo only said one sentence and then fell silent, leaving Qiu Xiangming and the others unable to continue negotiating. Seeing that he truly didn’t care about Bubble Bean’s life or death, the players behind shifted their attention to the Girl in the painting.
They wanted to capture Xu Huo and force him to comply, but unfortunately, the other party was a Time-Directed Super Evolver. Once they made a wrong move, they would inevitably lose personnel, which would be very disadvantageous for them.
Xu Huo, of course, saw through this, and his expression turned cold. "I don’t know if there are Super Players over at the Holy Sword Society, but I think the game certainly has more than one Super Player in District 001. Do you think that fighting with the Holy Sword Society is the final showdown, or do you believe the entire District 001 will be buried with you this time?"
Qiu Xiangming understood his implication but could only say, "The fire is at our eyebrows; we can’t worry about others right now."
He slightly raised his finger, and players several kilometers away took action. A semi-transparent black barrier suddenly rose from the ground, instantly covering nearly a third of a city, including the city center. There was no doubt that this was another restrictive prop. Unless the prop holder was killed, this thing probably wouldn’t be lifted anytime soon.
Xu Huo was out of patience; he looked at Qiu Xiangming, "If you were smart enough, you would understand that you shouldn’t get too close to me."
Before he could finish his words, Qiu Xiangming’s face suddenly changed, but he had no time to react. A force of time suddenly descended, instantly enveloping the building he was in. The good building visibly crumbled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, a big hole appeared, and it collapsed!
The skyward dust accompanied by the loud noise of the building’s collapse blocked the view of both sides. Xu Huo stood still, his gaze fixed ahead through the dust as he looked at the child who suddenly appeared there and took Qiu Xiangming and the middle-aged man away before the Time Force descended.
It was an odd-looking Big Head Doll, not quite like a real person. The oversized head and somewhat eerie facial features resembled a scary toy, but the expression was very lively; blinking, breathing, and expressions changing without differences from a real person.
The Big Head Doll didn’t speak after saving them; the Girl in the painting was quick to reveal the communicator, "You’re really ugly!"
"You’re really ugly!"
"You’re really ugly!"
The sentence played on repeat, and the Big Head Doll across raised its eyebrows high, then gave a thumbs down with a hard flip, and then spat out a bubble. The bubble had his face and expression printed on it, and it burst with the sound, "You can’t even talk!"
How could the Girl in the painting hold this in? Her hands started tapping on the communicator with beeping sounds, and Big Head Doll didn’t back down either, spewing bubbles from his mouth, and the two began to insult each other using their tools.
"You’re mute too!"
"You don’t even have a voice!"
"You’re ugly and can’t speak! You’re a freak!"
"I can do without a communicator, but you can’t!"
"So what? You’re ugly, unpleasant to look at, and I wouldn’t even want you to clean my floors!"
"What about your long arms and legs? I could beat you to death here; could you do it?"
"Come on, I’ll shave you into a Big Head Doll drawing and stick it on the floor!"
"You’re a mute, I have to wait for you to speak, I’ll roll you into a ball and use you to polish my shoes!"
...
Both arguing didn’t stop them from taking action; this was the Big Head Doll’s stage, so all the surrounding metal fragments moved, sealing off the area, even targeting the few players from District 001. The Girl in the painting was slightly inferior, as she could only control paper in a small range, confining herself and the Big Head Doll.
The metal fragments were menacingly poised, and the Big Head Doll didn’t seem to have a normal person’s thinking. Qiu Xiangming and the others didn’t dare to breathe and could only stand there watching them argue.
The Big Head Doll and the Girl in the painting obviously had a different mindset from them. If they fought without care, it could only spell trouble for others.
"Alright." Xu Huo interrupted them, "Let’s talk business."
He looked at the Big Head Doll, "Since you’ve shown up, we can talk."
The Big Head Doll angrily spat out a bubble, "I warned you, don’t tear down my house, or I’ll beat you to death!"
Xu Huo laughed lightly, pointing at those next to Qiu Xiangming, "When I plan to kill, I don’t consider reconciliation. You don’t have the intention to negotiate; I won’t waste time."
"Whether it’s the players of District 001 or you, you don’t really think that hiding in the Super Dungeon venue will make everything alright, do you? Besides the Holy Sword Society, I believe many want the Super Dungeon; normal players can’t find the place, but Super Players can."
Qiu Xiangming’s group didn’t respond. The Big Head Doll, with a big head but a small brain, was instantly fooled and nervously asked, "You know other Super Players?"
Xu Huo chuckled meaningfully, the unsaid words leaving space for infinite imagination.
Of course, he wasn’t bluffing; at least the Suitcase Man was "at call," if not today, then tomorrow.
"Then hurry up and leave." The Big Head Doll didn’t yell about beating him to death anymore, "Go to the space point and take the Inversion Ring, bring them out together."
Xu Huo tilted his head slightly, "No. I didn’t want to take it before, and I want it even less now."
The Big Head Doll’s big face twisted together, feeling troubled, while Qiu Xiangming and the others behind were almost vomiting blood. The Inversion Ring, from the name, was clearly the original version of the Small Inversion Ring, and yet he’s acting all aloof and refusing a Super Prop?!
Ignoring their gazes, Xu Huo continued, "You could let me take the Inversion Ring, but you need to pay a service fee."
"Don’t you have any shame!" the middle-aged man shouted in exasperation.
Xu Huo glanced at him coldly, "Super Props can also be stopped by Time Force."
The Big Head Doll might save them once, but what about the second, third, or fourth times? They wouldn’t always be so lucky.
After a pause, he relaxed his expression, calmly saying, "Speaking of having shame, I didn’t plan to come in the first place, but I was invited warmly. How could I not set some terms?"
"Please convey to Valen, when I leave, I want to see the Wan Family alive."
"Or else?" mocked the player sealing the venue, "On the territory of District 001, could a Rank-B player like you really overturn the heavens?"
"Overturning the heavens is an exaggeration, but making District 001 pay a heart-wrenching price is possible," Xu Huo said humbly, nodding at the Big Head Doll, "What do you say?"
"Don’t agree with him!" The middle-aged man shouted, "How can we be coerced and controlled by him?"
"How dare you say that!" The Big Head Doll turned angrily, spitting bubble after bubble, "If you weren’t so useless, how could my house have been torn down so much? Hundreds of people can’t take a single prop; you must be eating bird poop to grow so tall!"
"I don’t care, quickly get rid of him, and come back to fix my house later. If it’s not repaired properly, next time I’ll bash every one of you that comes!"
