Chapter 1458: Chapter 1459: The Most Vindictive Super Player in History
The traps in the passage are targeted at players, but most aren’t highly destructive. After all, this is a passage under the mountain; if there’s severe damage, the whole mountain could collapse.
Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu reached the heart of the mine quickly, with many damaged puppets and mannequins’ corpses scattered inside, but a small amount of blood trails moved deeper from the battle site.
"The mannequins have a white gemstone; produce it, and I’ll let you go." Xu Huo said.
Two weren’t enough for mining; Xu Huo deployed housekeeping and combat robots for help, the former cleaning bodies and fighting marks inside and outside, including puppet remains and damaged props.
The two exchanged glances, ready to approach the passage when suddenly, gray fog surged out, covering their view, and a figure darted forth from within!
"Because mass-producing such puppets results from the game’s historically most vengeful, relentless avenging Super Player—Suitcase Man." The sourc𝗲 of this content is
"We didn’t leave many traces in the battle; no need to dig it out again, right?" Yan Jiayu said casually.
Before finishing, the black blade slashed across his throat.
Nearby was a simple room, presumably for mannequins’ rest, indicating more than the encountered mannequins guarding the mine, with some temporarily gone.
"None." Xu Huo already inspected Duan Cheng’s belongings, "Time was tight; he didn’t even take much black ore."
It was needless to consider who had emerged; Xu Huo promptly sealed the passage with a spatial barrier while Da Mao, deliberately left behind, ignored the interference from the dust fog, swooping down from above to pin the person to the ground, followed by a crisp crack of bone, sending the person flying back the next second.
Deleting the post and closing Beneath the Dimension, Xu Huo’s eyes darkened.
Excavator 114 began working, but it was impossible to load all ore into the luggage compartment, and on-site sale was too rushed, prompting Yan Jiayu to deal black ore through the reward platform to Tu Xiaoxiao, asking her to store them for sorting, "We’ll divide later upon exit."
"Of course one must take risks for benefits; isn’t that common sense?" Duan Cheng felt nothing wrong with his actions, "Besides, I offered information channels."
Each bore a digit sequence, puppets mainly inside the abdomen, mannequins on the arm, their codes revealing indeed players, including all three classifications.
"Sounds nice," Yan Jiayu exposed him, "You didn’t know how deep the waters were here and wanted us to be the vanguard, didn’t you?"
"Then hurry and search," Yan Jiayu turned toward the forward passage, "He helped save us some time."
Unable to leave the instance and being in such confined space, Duan Cheng had no escape, raising his hands in surrender immediately, "Let’s talk this out."
Yan Jiayu picked up the overturned lamp, deliberately placing it before his face, "It was you, huh."
He had some tango with Suitcase Man before.
The miscalculation was not knowing the discrepancy in the number of mannequins here from expectations, at least half fewer, possibly having left with ores.
Looking at mannequins on the ground, Xu Huo had a vague unease, capturing and sending a puppet abdomen’s code middle section to Beneath the Dimension. Soon he got an anonymous feedback.
"Better safe than sorry," Xu Huo aimed to destroy mannequins and mannequins alike.
"Lingering here is pointless," Duan Cheng said, "Soon more mannequins will return, leading to another fierce battle. Getting any ore is profit, so why not come back next time?"
While speaking, Xu Huo, using the vertical pupil, had surveyed several opened mine shafts deeper in the passage, with numerous black ores inside, but didn’t see The Most Beautiful Gemstone.
"Did you arrange to work with us for the mine?" Xu Huo suddenly asked.
"It’s rumored he once retaliated years later just because someone looked at him oddly, willing to slaughter clans for broken mannequins. Poster beware."
Even the previous passage blockage needed clearing.
Xu Huo had no objection, focusing primarily on finding the most beautiful ore.
Duan Cheng’s eyes shifted, but his tone remained calm, "I haven’t seen a white gemstone; you can search inside..."
After a while, Yan Jiayu asked, "Any Most Beautiful Gemstone?"
Meaning to advise them to take the gains and leave.
"Quick advice is to destroy mannequins and flee since they might possess video memory or tracking capabilities. Though anyone could use such a font, generally avoided, especially on puppets."
Duan Cheng, flying toward Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu, forcibly altered his direction while airborne, but he had sustained injuries in battles with the mannequins and had his arm broken by a stone lion. These hits slowed him considerably, the fog proving less effective than anticipated when he landed unsteadily, only to find a black blade against his throat.
Excavator 114 stopped ore mining, prioritizing clearing the recently collapsed passage, while Xu Huo carefully examined the recovered mannequins and mannequin bodies.
Duan Cheng’s face darkened, "Since you followed me and Li Kun here, we’re all aware, so why play dumb? This is a mine, full of ores. I can’t take it all by myself; you don’t need to focus on me."
Duan Cheng surprised by his perception, straightforwardly replied, "Indeed, I knew beforehand it’s a props raw material mine, though occupied already. I sought you to share the risk and the loot. Though selfish, it’s forgivable. I can’t possibly haul it all away at once; you’d gain too."
Inside the mine shafts, many black ore piles lay haphazardly in boxes and on the ground, some sorted for obvious better quality, besides those not fully excavated yet, with considerable quantity.
In Building Block Fairy Tale City Station, he used smiling puppets to draw Suitcase Man resolving Advanced Players tracking him from Zone 014.
"If the poster photographed inside a certain puppet, congratulations on a potential close encounter with a Super Player."
The second encounter was at Sifang Palace City Station, where Suitcase Man supplied Mechanical Beings within Sifang Palace City, conjecturing interactions with Sifang Palace City’s boss. Departing, he left Paper Servant Master’s Positioning Paper Plane inside the instance, leading to a later brawl.
