Chapter 2533: Can't Believe Anyone Could Do It
During this blank period where Xu Huo was wasting time, Qiu Xiangming thought of many ways to persuade him. For example, if he was willing to stay in District 001, he would definitely be a key training target for the district in the future. Anything he wanted, even a Super Evolution venue, District 001 could find for him, let alone other items and instruments. Moreover, he was also one of the seed candidates likely to inherit a Super Instance... In any district, this would be an absolutely excellent treatment, and aside from Super Players, anyone would be tempted by such conditions.
Even if he wasn't truly willing to stay in District 001, he could completely wait until later to leave. For him, this was a deal with a hundred benefits and no harm.
But these thoughts only flashed by. He didn't actually bring them to the negotiating table. Even though the District Government meant the same thing, he felt this person wasn't so easy to persuade. Besides, with his potential, hadn't other districts tried to win him over like this? And for a proud and unruly genius, some benefits that would eventually come might not be that attractive. Instead, hometown, family, and emotions were more likely to become important factors influencing his choices.
Without thinking, it was clear that Xu Huo probably didn't have a good impression of District 001. Of course, this couldn't be said to be the District Government's fault, because they really had no other choice. They could only seize everything available within a limited time. As for wronging outsiders... they could only apologize. Even if Xu Huo came to retaliate later, it wouldn't reach the point of endangering the entire District 001. The debtor pays the creditor. Anyway, Valen and the District Government had already shouldered the debt. Who else would they pay it back to?
After a long time, Qiu Xiangming spoke again, "You're stalling for time, so you must want something. Whether it works or not, why not say it out and let's discuss it."
Xu Huo had already finished his breakfast. He glanced at the opposite side, "Can you represent the District Government? Or can you represent the Super Instance?"
The District Government side could be discussed, but the Super Instance side was difficult. Although the minor bosses in the instance could, out of consideration for Super Players, take care of District 001's players a little, they weren't truly human after all, and their thoughts differed from humans'. Pushing too far might anger them and bring more trouble.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Xu Huo said, "So, this matter can't be discussed with you. You take care of your own business. There's no use rushing."
Qiu Xiangming originally wanted to say something more, but seeing that Xu Huo had already started training, he swallowed his words, opened his Personal Panel, and contacted the District Government.
In fact, Qiu Xiangming and his companions stranded in Metal City had never cut off contact with the District Government. Indeed, other players were the same. They were only trapped when they were preparing to go out. The Holy Sword Society had prepared thoroughly, setting up a fake trap at the main entrance, which led to a large number of their people being trapped, their fate unknown.
When Xu Huo and the other two entered, their first thought was that they were bait arranged by the Holy Sword Society, aiming to obtain the Super Item. However, various signs indicated they were not. With a try-it-out attitude, Qiu Xiangming had his companion leak the route map. Anyway, none of them could get out. If Xu Huo could do it, that would be great. If not, they would handle the aftermath.
It was only after he truly succeeded in entering the teaching building and quickly coming out that Qiu Xiangming seriously verified the identities of these three with the District Government. Of course, he also learned that Xu Huo had been forcibly sent in due to being suspected of being a Temporal Super Evolver... The place where the Holy Sword Society was holding District 001's players was suspected to contain Time Power, which was why Mr. Valen had forcibly sent them in regardless of the consequences.
Qiu Xiangming didn't think he could handle the aftermath now, but he vaguely felt that Xu Huo wanted to do something, yet couldn't help feeling he was overestimating himself. Even if he deliberately stalled for time, the instance's minor bosses might not necessarily come out to negotiate with him.
The District Government's words were no longer effective. Whether inside the instance or after going out, the chaos in District 001 was already a foregone conclusion. The only variable was the degree of chaos. If the District Government turned the tide, it would be post-disaster reconstruction. If an external district force replaced the District Government, unless the District Government's people died very quickly, a large-scale war would be unavoidable. No matter which side won, the promises made to Xu Huo would be hard to fulfill.
That's why Xu Huo wanted to talk to the instance's minor bosses. If they also hoped he would quickly leave with the things.
Another two days passed. Xu Huo completed the teaching indicators—being able to successfully structure and seal the Space Barrier of the teaching building. Naturally, he was also one step closer to structuring the black channel portal. With nothing else to do, he even combined the Space Bodies into the shape of a flower, stacking them layer by layer. The flower composed of more than a dozen polyhedra actually looked somewhat like the real thing, just with fewer petals, not that beautiful.
So, in the following time, he wasn't in a hurry to go out. Instead, he continued trying to use the polyhedra to form various shapes. Anyway, combining these polyhedra into a "gossamer" polyhedron belt had too few pieces, but using them to play with patterns was still fine.
The flowers or small animals formed by the multi-dimensional Space Bodies were simple, but they had many variations. Qiu Xiangming watched him "play" from the side, gradually shifting from initial shock to numbness. When he controlled the polyhedra, he had to be extremely careful to manage them all; the slightest mistake would cause collapse. But Xu Huo, from initially knowing only a little, had now become proficient in manipulating them. This was no longer something ordinary people could catch up to. Could there really be someone in the world capable of dual Temporal and Spatial Evolution?
Qiu Xiangming was curious and voiced this question.
Xu Huo flashed the "Time Ring" on his hand, "Maybe some unnecessary misunderstanding arose because of the item."
Qiu Xiangming didn't believe it. The District Government had so many elite players guarding it; how could they make a mistake on such a small matter?
"I just can't believe there's really someone in the world who can do it..." He paused and suddenly said, "It's not that no one has done it. I heard that a long time ago, there was a Super Player, Carmen Field, who was like this. It's said he had five Super Evolution abilities: Temporal, Spatial, Mental, Self-Control, and one kind of Gravity."
"That's how he was able to create an item like the Battle Angel. It's said that item also possessed the same Evolution abilities as him, which led to the siege by other wormhole points. One person being too strong made those who weren't so strong unable to sleep at night, so they could only kill him to feel at ease."
"Gravity?" Xu Huo said. "Evolved from a Trait?"
Qiu Xiangming nodded, "Some people can evolve their Traits into power comparable to Super Evolution. As far as I know, some Super Players' powerful killing moves evolved from Traits."
Xu Huo couldn't help but think of the Box Carrier. After the time in District 01, he had looked for battle footage of him and Lawrence Li, as well as some images left behind from his actions in other places. The black energy he used didn't belong to common Super Evolution powers. Could it be Trait Evolution?
