The light outside the yard dimmed, and the wind that shuttled through the orchard seemed to have stopped. The trees were swaying, and the sounds of birds and insects disappeared at the same time. The only clear sound in the air was the sound of Zhuang Shanbai chopping vegetables.
"Mr. Zhuang must have his reasons for not letting the dealer's descendants become players, but in my opinion, you are not an ordinary person." Xu Huo said: "Gray player?"
"The banker's people most likely left not because they didn't get along or because they couldn't get used to the life here, but out of self-protection."
"Although Area 001 is relatively safe, even in a few decades, the descendants of the Zhuang family will not really fade away from the Han family's sight. Even if the Han family in the past can maintain friendship with the Zhuang family, it is difficult to say that the people in the future...
?"
"Your family members may have gone to other districts just to avoid attracting attention. You cannot disappear together."
"Is it true that the descendants of the banker can't become players?" Xu Huo brought the topic back, "Or has Mr. Zhuang arranged a better way out for you?"
Zhuang Shanbai stopped chopping vegetables, turned his back to him and said, "Is there any better way out in the game? If so, can you tell me?"
Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't notice the changing environment around him, "I'm not hostile, and I'm not interested in the affairs between your two families. I just want to find a convenient entrance to the mine."
Only then did Zhuang Shanbai come back to his senses. At this time, the light outside the window was dim, as if a heavy rain was coming, and the dull air flowed into the room from the outside. He stood there like a pillar, motionless, and his whole person sank into the shadows.
.
"Then you should go find the Han family." He said solemnly: "My banker has not had direct dealings with the Han family for decades."
"I've been there." Xu Huo said calmly: "As you can see, my player level is not high, so it is a bit difficult to move around in the direct-administered area. However, the entrance to the mine is covered by spiritual power, and it is difficult to enter without the correct key."
"But I don't have to enter the mine."
"Since the entire direct-administered region is under the coverage of spiritual power, I would like to use Mr. Zhuang's power to do something."
"What do you want?" Zhuang Shanbai said and glanced out the window, his eyes suddenly sharp, "You dare!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room began to surge from the wall toward the middle, quickly occupying the volume of the room, trying to lock Xu Huo into a small space!
However, the moment before the room was completely closed, Xu Huo opened the door and moved outside, standing next to the little bald man who was chewing some fruit.
Mental interference hid his traces. The little bald man didn't see him. He only saw his father coming out of the house, and he immediately got up and ran towards him.
The child's carefree smile was in stark contrast to Zhuang Shanbai's suddenly tense expression. He was carefully protecting his child while also guarding Xu Huo. After all, he was not a seasoned dungeon player. His defense seemed a bit stretched, and he was even more cautious.
Worried that my son would be injured, I was afraid to let go.
Xu Huo stood there without moving until the little bald man hugged his father's leg and then said: "If you are so worried about him, why should you let him stay?"
Zhuang Shanbai pulled his son behind him and warned: "No matter what you want to do, it has nothing to do with the banker, and I can't help you. Just leave."
Xu Huo smiled and shook his head.
"Before I came here, I visited the direct-administered area many times and tried to break through the mineral vein portal. However, I always had a problem that I couldn't figure out. Mr. Zhuang is dead. No matter how powerful he was in life, he would not be able to still use his spiritual power after death.
Controlling the mineral vein portal... After seeing you, I understand that what he left behind may not necessarily be his own spiritual power, but it may also be a spiritual copy, like here."
Zhuang Shanbai's eyes turned gloomy and scary for a moment, but Xu Huo didn't take it seriously. He raised his finger and pointed at the little bald head sticking out from behind him, "Mr. Zhuang has created a peaceful life for the descendants of the Zhuang family. Do you want to destroy it in front of the children?"
?”
After saying that, he ignored Zhuang Shanbai and waved to the little bald man.
The little bald man could sense that there was something wrong with the adults' atmosphere, so he looked at his father and did not move.
So Xu Huo took out the excavator 114.
The moment the tall and metallic robot landed, the little bald man's eyes lit up, and he ran out with a "wow" and circled around the robot.
The tense atmosphere seemed to have disappeared. Zhuang Shanbai did not stop the child, but motioned to Xu Huo to come into the room to talk.
Xu Huo authorized the robot to the little bald man and taught him simple operations before returning to the house.
There was no change in the furnishings in the house, and Zhuang Shanbai was no longer in the mood to cook, so he got straight to the point: "What do you want to do?"
"Since you guessed that the person who controls the entrance to the mine is a copy, you should also know that the copy must not be in the hands of the banker. Otherwise, the Han family would have trouble sleeping and eating. How could the banker be allowed to leave Flower City?"
"That's true..." Xu Huo responded lightly, but he believed that it should be an unowned copy site, and because it has been occupied by the senior officials of Flower City, there is no new owner yet.
In addition to the Han family, there are several other companies that jointly control the mining rights of the mineral veins. If the copy rights were in the hands of one of them, it would be impossible to maintain today's situation.
But an unowned copy is not controlled by the Han family or a certain family, which means that the inside of this copy must have been deliberately modified. When the owner dies, some copies may maintain the original rules and become an unowned copy.
The game issues tickets to players, and some may return to a dungeon venue. Whether they are suitable or not suitable for becoming a new dungeon depends on luck.
Mr. Zhuang is a super player and a spiritual super evolver. He must have anticipated the situation after death and made targeted changes to the dungeon. This is why the dungeon venue is now reserved but no tickets are issued to players.
degree.
The banker must know the inside story, and there must be other hidden things in it.
"Is it convenient to see the relics left by your father?" he asked again.
Zhuang Shanbai had already returned to his previous appearance, but his attitude was cold, "Turn left to the first room, it's all in there, you can look around as you like."
After saying this, he was no longer interested in talking, got up and went to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Xu Huo came to Zhuang Shanbai's father's room and opened the boxed materials one by one.
There is a lot of news and other information about Mr. Zhuang, but the important events were basically written down in the book. Later, after he became a high-level player, the information began to be kept secret, and there are only a few words here.
In addition, there is even less information about Mr. Zhuang’s preferences. He only mentioned that he liked to eat a certain home-cooked dish when he was studying. After becoming a player, he rarely ate in public, and the few times he ate with his family
, all the meals were equally exposed to rain and dew, and there was no preference at all.
