# Chapter 2760: Prison Break Order
Xu Huo opened another identity document. The other party checked it, looked at his face again, then waved his hand. "You're clear."
Xu Huo blended into the street crowd without any visible reaction.
The manhunt lasted three hours before it subsided. He spent two hours touring the scenic spots, ate nearby, and only after the scattered enforcement team members conducting inspections had withdrawn did he change his watch terminal. He posted the video of the enforcement team's investigation he had recorded earlier to his travel log, sincerely praising how Zone 022's management of outer zone players maximized the travel safety of local residents.
After posting, he also took photos of nearby landmark attractions and added them to the log.
Of course, no sooner had he left than players silently surrounded the area. However, the watch terminal had already been thrown into the luggage compartment, making real-time tracking impossible. The arriving players could only give up.
He found a hotel to stay in, took a good shower, then sat down to search for clues about this scenic spot's souvenir.
Compared to the previous randomly triggered or clearly targeted souvenirs, this one was rather abstract—it required "The Bride's Tears."
The Bride's Tears. This souvenir didn't originate with him. Someone had posted on the Message Collection Terminal claiming to have The Bride's Tears and offering to trade.
Xu Huo sent a message asking what they wanted in exchange. The other party quickly replied, "The most expensive plant in this city."
"Most expensive"—literally speaking, it should simply refer to monetary value. But there were countless plants in the game world, and this city had so many people. The most expensive plant could be anywhere, in anyone's hands.
Xu Huo didn't reply to that message. He had the hotel deliver a meal, slept well after eating, and the next morning, shouldered his backpack to visit the city's famous Marriage Stone.
In Zone 022, marriage registration no longer required two people to go to the government office together. By logging into a dedicated terminal address and completing identity verification, registration could be done—even if the two weren't together.
This was also because the concept of eugenics had become deeply ingrained, and technology had greatly reduced the cost of childbirth. So marriage required very little consideration. Coupled with comprehensive laws, the threshold for marriage among district citizens wasn't high, and people were happy to have a relaxed, joyful ceremony.
Therefore, even though the marriage registration office barely saw anyone, scenic spots in the city were never short of wedding photography.
With no life burdens and long lifespans, marriage was hard to bind for life. Divorce and remarriage were common and simple. Truly, not many people would shed tears over marriage.
On the lawn, newlyweds in formal attire laughed joyfully. Automated aircraft followed and recorded from every angle without blind spots—from their happy running, to the aircraft picking them up for the wedding venue, all the way to friends and family taking their seats, the bride and groom walking up to the flower platform, and a simple vow ceremony.
Honestly, in such a relaxed atmosphere, it was hard for anyone to cry.
Xu Huo waited through five couples without a single bride crying tears of joy. Everyone gathered here because of happiness and joy.
By the sixth couple, Xu Huo spent a high price to find a channel to purchase two B-level citizen identity permissions, giving them as wedding gifts to the new couple.
When the flower child delivered the gifts, the couple first trembled with excitement, then screamed loudly, and finally cried tears of joy. By the time Xu Huo successfully obtained "The Bride's Tears," the groom was loudly proclaiming, "Thank you to this stranger attending our wedding for the gift! We will be happy, and we wish you happiness too!"
While collecting the tears, Xu Huo noticed other players also picking up leftovers. This guy, having gotten a bargain, didn't leave quickly but instead proactively approached him. "If you ask me, just grab her and slap her—you'd get the tears too. Why spend so much money? B-level citizen permissions aren't cheap."
Looking at the other's smug face from a distance, Xu Huo rubbed his chin. "You have a point."
The moment the words left his mouth, he was already standing beside that player, pressing down on his shoulder with a friendly smile.
Two minutes later, Xu Huo had not only recouped the money spent on purchasing the citizen permissions but also received a generous "thank you fee."
"Don't look so glum. You gave the gift, and you received the couple's blessing. This trip wasn't a waste." Xu Huo said with a smile.
The man forced a smile. "Brother, you've taken the money too. Can you stop mocking me?"
Xu Huo submitted the souvenir and, as usual, pulled him for a photo. Just as he was about to let him go, the man suddenly said, "Brother, I can see you're pretty strong. Want to go for something big?"
"I'm not short on money." Xu Huo didn't even look up.
"Don't bring up something as vulgar as money." The man lowered his voice. "I know some news. A local is looking for outer zone players to enter the Prison Punishment City. The reward is generous—you might get some good props and instruments."
"Prison break?" Xu Huo turned to look at him.
"It's not exactly a prison break." The man said vaguely. "Just find someone to go in and attract attention, so some imprisoned criminals have a chance to escape."
"That's not a prison break?" Xu Huo turned and walked away.
"Don't go! Just go in for a spin and you'll get a few props for free. Judging by your look, I know you spend big on instances. No matter how much money you have, it'll get spent. Why not earn some extra cash on the side?" The man followed.
"The Prison Punishment City holds so many players. Zone 022 doesn't have that many slots for players to shed their identities. Inside, they either have game channels blocked or are specialized instance venues to restrict players, plus local zone players guarding them. Do you think going in will end well?" Xu Huo said.
Seeing that Xu Huo hadn't completely shut him down, the man quickly added, "Zone 022 has so many Prison Punishment Cities. Not every one can be equipped with such good instruments and instances, right? How rich would Zone 022 have to be to spend that much money on prisons?"
"Besides, I've checked. The management staff at the Prison Punishment City isn't that many. We don't need to fight them to the death. Make a feint to the east and attack in the west, then run. Even if we don't get props, it's no loss. Killing Zone 022's prestige isn't bad either! They've been ruthless enough to outer zone players."
Xu Huo hesitated. "How many people have you contacted?"
The man's face lit up. "As far as I know, there are already eleven. With you, that's twelve."
"All outer zone players?" Xu Huo asked.
"Yes." The man knew his concerns and said, "The employer will also arrange people. We're only responsible for drawing fire. The employer's people will handle the real business. If something's wrong, just run."
Xu Huo nodded. "Do you know any other players? Finding more people would be safer."
"Leave it to me." The man immediately said.
After that, Xu Huo rested near the hotel while the man was responsible for contacting personnel. When they regrouped, he had brought a total of fifteen people. Among them, an unremarkable short woman caught Xu Huo's attention.
"This is the employer's contact, Redstone. She's going with us."
