Chapter 2560
"... The people from District 001 seem to have a somewhat unstable mental state; some want to kill Xu Huo, others want to protect him, they change faster than the weather..."
...
"... The destruction of the space portal served as a wake-up call for Xu Huo, so he didn’t hesitate to abandon the team rewards and swiftly left District 001. Worried about being tracked, he didn’t even use the Super Prop ’Inversion Ring’ but chose a ticket to another wormhole point instead..."
"Luck breeds misfortune, but he takes great care of his life."
"However, if his memory is good enough, he’d recall that among the Super Evolvers he met over a year of evolution, those with Rank-A Player Level were rare, and the other party wore props suspected to be remnants of the Feld’s Battle Angel fragments."
"... The Feld Family plays a pivotal role in the game; its members becoming the Chief Governor of a wormhole point should wield considerable influence... Perhaps the peaceful resolution in District 001 this time was related to this person..."
"... Although Xu Huo still worries that after learning about his tri-directional evolution, they might investigate his true identity and, following the trail, find Zone 014..."
"Thus, even if he guessed their identity and knew their whereabouts, he wouldn’t easily meet them again... What a timid and pitiful person."
"... Free from the spatial powers restraint at the Super Dungeon venue, the Water Rubik’s Cube showcases its vitality once more, as if it wants to remain with this timid person forevermore, truly a sorrowful device..."
"Upgrading two seldom-used characteristics and yet it’s not your turn, as a characteristic, you’re quite pitiful too." Xu Huo waved his hand, storing all the papers into the luggage compartment.
The most important thing about using characteristics is to fill gaps and avoid leaving any marks after departure. Indeed, there were many traps and hazards in dealing with the players from District 001, but these vanished as he left that area.
The only remaining issue was Kairo Feld.
With the characteristics hinting so explicitly, matching his sightings, blue eyes, and carrying remnants of Feld’s Battle Angel, he could only think of Kairo Feld. If the one destroying the portal was him, then hiding the tri-directional evolution information and smoothing out the aftermath, as well as promoting the peaceful resolution of the area occupation event in District 001, could all have been his doing.
Xu Huo didn’t specifically study the Feld Family’s history, but considering someone like Carmen Feld perished in an encirclement, and yet the Feld Family maintained a significant role in the game, there are only two possibilities: either the Feld Family is one of the forces controlling the game, or they exchanged Carmen Feld’s death for greater benefits.
Unless the Feld Family has more than one person like Carmen Feld, otherwise after Carmen Feld’s death, the family would have undergone drastic changes, and if indeed there are more geniuses yet this event occurred, it is likely there’s an issue within the Feld Family.
Of course, it’s hard to imagine under what circumstances the family would choose to sacrifice someone like Carmen Feld.
But it seems Carmen Feld was originally at odds with the family—rumor has it that he was predicted to bring the family to ruin in the future, hence he wandered outside continually.
With so many truths and falsehoods, Kairo Feld coming to E27 Wormhole Point, far away from the game core and the family, makes it difficult to say whether he was exiled here, and for what reasons... that’s truly hard to guess.
It’s best not to encounter him again anytime soon.
However, it’s quite unfortunate that the Water Rubik’s Cube issue hasn’t been thoroughly resolved; although its barrier is indeed a potent defense, failing to resolve it stalls progress in spatial evolution, and next time he might not find such a great venue as the Super Dungeon.
"I need to think of a way to thoroughly solve this issue..." Xu Huo pondered for a while, then took out the Super Evolution Training Notebook given by District 001 and began to browse.
(Wait for modification)

The playboy gracefully floated backward, smiling, saying, "Sister’s temper is quite..."
Mid-sentence, a soft "apology" drifted from the front, and as if by an unknown force, this person suddenly bent his knees, knelt on the floor, slammed his forehead down hard, and shouted, "I’m sorry!"
The compartment was silent; not only was the playboy and the observing players surprised, but even Xu Huo was taken aback. The prop’s effect was surprisingly strong, and does an apology need kneeling?
Whether others kneel while apologizing is unknown, but the playboy did; when his head hit the floor, he suddenly became clear-minded, and for a moment couldn’t decide whether to vent his rage through violence or escape into a crack, but after a brief pause, he got up and glared at Xu Huo with murderous eyes.
"What?" Xu Huo raised his brows, "Want to apologize again?"
"You win!" The playboy opened the front compartment door and left.
"Brother, your characteristic really pulls aggro." Shi Potian couldn’t help but comment, "An Advanced Player, making him kneel publicly damages his pride. You better be careful; he’ll surely want revenge."
"I just made him apologize; who knew he’d kneel." Xu Huo casually said, "Maybe it’s different customs from place to place."
"I’ll kill him." The Girl in the painting had already retrieved her paper toys.
"Next time." Xu Huo said, "If he comes back causing trouble again, kill him."
He finished speaking, turned, and entered the room, shutting the door to close off all probing eyes.
After layering several protections, Xu Huo finally utilized the characteristic "Home Field View."
Lines of text began to appear on the paper.
The section before about the Cat Whisker Fruit journey has nothing much to say, it’s mostly factual; changes only start from the United Capital.
"... Saying out loud he doesn’t want it, but actually he might greatly desire it; otherwise, why would Xu Huo easily enter the District Government? Maybe, like everyone greedy, upon seeing good things, he wants to claim them as his own..."
...
"... The props in the instance aren’t easy to handle, especially since many spaces here can’t use tickets. This could be a specialty of the Super Dungeon, or perhaps a specialty of the space hosting the dungeon venue... Anyway, during multiple cross-space travels with the District 001 people, one or two times the entered spaces were entirely different from the previous Metal Forest and metal city, seemingly not located within the Super Dungeon venue..."
...
"Chaotic Space-Time Powers might record the entire crime scene; Xu Huo knows this but remains somewhat hopeful."
"Harboring hope doesn’t lead to good fortune; on the contrary, it may result in a variety of early deaths."
