# Chapter 2560: Timid People and Pitiful Instruments

"...The people in Area 001 all seem to have somewhat unstable mental states. Some of them want to kill Xu Huo, some want to protect him—the weather changes faster than their moods..."

...

"...The destruction of the space passage gave Xu Huo a warning, so he didn't hesitate to abandon the team reward and left Area 001 without any delay. Worried about being followed, he didn't even use the super item Reversal Ring, but instead chose a ticket to another wormhole point..."

"Luck makes people unfortunate, but he cherishes his own life."

"However, if his memory is good enough, he should remember that in the more than a year of evolution, among the Super Evolvers he's encountered, there aren't many with Player Level A, and that person was wearing an item that appeared to be a remnant fragment of the Field Battle Angel."

"...The Field Clan holds a pivotal position in the entire game. For one of their family members to become the Grand Archon of a wormhole point, they should have considerable influence... Perhaps the peaceful resolution of this Area 001 incident is related to this person..."

"...It's just that Xu Huo is still worried that the other party, upon learning about his triple evolution, will investigate his true identity and follow the trail to find Area 014..."

"So even though he guessed the other party's identity and knows their whereabouts, he won't easily meet with them again... What a timid and pitiful person."

"...The Water Cube, freed from the spatial constraints of the super instance site, has once again displayed its due vitality, as if it wants to be with this timid person until the end of time. Truly a pitiful instrument..."

"You didn't get upgraded either, even though I upgraded two traits I rarely use. As a trait, you're pretty pitiful too." Xu Huo waved his hand and stored all the papers into the luggage compartment.

The most important thing when using traits is to check for omissions, to ensure no marks remain on you after leaving. In the process of dealing with the Area 001 players, there were indeed many traps and hidden dangers, but all of these disappeared as he left Area 001.

The only remaining issue was Carol Field.

The trait's implication was so obvious—someone he had met, with blue eyes, and possessing remnants of the Field Battle Angel. The only person he could think of was Carol Field. If he was the one who destroyed the passage, then he might also be the one who concealed the news of Xu Huo's triple evolution, cleaned up the aftermath, and facilitated the peaceful resolution of the Area 001 occupation incident.

Xu Huo had never specifically studied the history of the Field Clan, but he imagined that a figure like Carmen Field would have died fighting under siege, yet the Field Clan still maintained an important position in the game. There were only two possibilities: either the Field Clan itself was one of the forces controlling the game, or Carmen Field's death was used to exchange for greater benefits.

Unless the Field Clan had more than one figure like Carmen Field, otherwise, after Carmen Field's death, the Field Clan would surely undergo drastic changes. And if the clan indeed had more than one genius but this still happened, it was most likely due to some internal problems within the Field Clan.

Of course, for a figure like Carmen Field, he really couldn't imagine under what circumstances the clan would choose to sacrifice him.

But Carmen Field seemed to have had some estrangement from the clan originally—rumors said he was predicted to bring catastrophic disaster to the clan in the future, so he had been wandering outside.

With so many true and false rumors, Carol Field had run to the E27 wormhole point, far from both the game's core and the clan. It was hard to say he wasn't exiled there. As for the reason... that was truly difficult to guess.

It would be best not to run into him again for a while.

However, it was regrettable that the Water Cube problem hadn't been completely resolved. Although the Water Cube Barrier was a very powerful defense, without solving it, he would find it difficult to make progress in space evolution. Next time, he might not encounter such a good place as a super instance site.

"I need to find a way to thoroughly solve this problem..." Xu Huo pondered for a moment, then took out the super evolution training notes given by Area 001 and started flipping through them.

After reading the notes for a while, he lay down to rest and didn't get up until train time 6:00.

Opening the door, he saw the Painting Woman occupying an entire sofa by herself, and this sofa was blocking his room door.

He patted her on the head. "Move the sofa."

The Painting Woman reluctantly dragged the sofa back to its original position and asked him, "Can you only see the baby after it's born? Can't you take it out of the belly to look at it directly?"

"No." Faced with such a horrifying question, Xu Huo's expression didn't even flicker as he answered succinctly.

"Why not?" The Painting Woman was a bit unconvinced. "I can take out the food I eat from my stomach to look at it!"

Xu Huo paused his steps and turned back to look at her. "You did that?"

Probably sensing something off in his tone, the Painting Woman's arrogance diminished a little, but only a little. "They didn't want to look."

"Them" referred to the other players in the carriage.

"No one wants to see your vomit." Xu Huo pushed her face away and instead asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Not at all!" the Painting Woman said angrily.

"I'm going to the restaurant to eat." Xu Huo turned and left.

The Painting Woman lingered in place for a while. Seeing the door of the carriage behind open and close, she stealthily glanced at the back of Xu Huo's head, only to find that he had no intention of stopping or looking back. Her anger vanished like a change of expression, and she trotted after him.

Arriving at the restaurant, she sat down opposite Xu Huo and hurriedly typed: "The TV shows aren't realistic at all. I got angry and you didn't come to comfort me."

"Watch fewer of those shows." Xu Huo looked at the menu. "Order whatever you want to eat."

"Did we earn money?" The Painting Woman's eyes lit up. "How much did we earn?"

"Enough for a good meal." Xu Huo selected a few dishes that looked decent.

Food on the train had always been expensive, and on a B-level train, it was even more costly. There were also some "rare" dishes that were ridiculously expensive, enough to make one's wallet shrink. A single meal could cost as much as buying an item, so generally, few people spent money on this.

The Painting Woman obviously didn't care about such things. She ordered all the limited-edition dishes and even familiarly called over the flight attendant, asking if there was any food on the train that wasn't on the menu.

"The train does not provide any food products made from humans," the flight attendant replied politely.

A player with money was already eye-catching, but a Cannibal Player with so much money was even more conspicuous.

"I don't want to eat humans anyway, why would I want food products made from humans?" The Painting Woman looked at the other party strangely. "Do you secretly make food yourselves? Can you give me some to eat?"

The flight attendant remained expressionless. "The train does not provide passengers with any food outside the menu."

After a pause, she added, "Nor does it provide food processing services."
