Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Characteristics of the Influence SpaceWithin half an hour, players from the Coin-Guessing Camp had almost all left, going to the random location for the fifth question according to the address Xu Huo had given. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Once most people had gone, Peng Ru and Jin Zhao quickly inquired about the random location, both also wanting to pay for the information, but Xu Huo declined, and directly told them the details. "The answer location will appear the day after tomorrow afternoon. We should have enough time to visit the remaining Game points by then," he said. "But now many people know this, don’t you fear that someone will beat us to the punch?" Peng Ru said, "There’s a time limit for when the random location appears, and if we miss this chance, we don’t know where or when the next one will be. Besides, this information will certainly spread further, which means our chances of getting the cap will be even smaller, right?" Xu Huo lifted a string of small caps. "Even if I get the caps this time, I still can’t clear the level," he said. Peng Ru and Jin Zhao fell silent, with the latter speaking, "No wonder you sold the information." In a situation where it was absolutely impossible to clear the level, it was better to take the initiative to release the information rather than waiting for people to come looking for trouble and make some money in the process. "In that case, we’ll go ahead." Jin Zhao said, "See you later." Xu Huo nodded, watched them leave, then turned around and gave half of the money he made from selling the information to Yan Jiayu. "So much money." The stuffed bear was still by their side, looking at the thick wad of White Notes in their hands. "I’ll buy you some candy later," Xu Huo patted its head. The stuffed bear walked away with a sugar jar. "We should go, too," Yan Jiayu said seriously, "There are quite a few players coming this way." The two left the camp as quickly as possible, and although they did not stop along the way, they were still targeted by someone ten minutes later. Xu Huo frowned, maneuvered the strings to hang the Desert Pinwheel behind a tree, and then made eye contact with Yan Jiayu before changing direction and running the other way. "Jumping Marble!" A voice came from behind. As they were sprinting, both felt a gust of wind behind their heads, and they dodged to the left and right. They heard two "bang" sounds overlapping, and two holes were punched in the tree ahead. Along with a streak of swift light returning, two more holes appeared in the trunk, and two glass marbles shot at them at different angles! "Ding!" "Bang!" The Sword and the Stone Stick simultaneously blocked the marbles, which continued to fly through several trees before returning to the hands of the owner. Meanwhile, six players had already surrounded them. The man using the marbles was a middle-aged man with shoulder-length hair. He twirled the marbles in his hand and looked menacingly at Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu, "How did you extract the information from the stuffed bear’s mouth?" "If we tell you, will you let us go?" Xu Huo glanced at the nearby players on either side. Aside from the marble player, the other five were a pair of twins, a young woman dressed in a flamboyant manner, an old man with white hair, and an ugly dwarf. "You still want to negotiate terms with us?" the dwarf sneered. "Let’s not put it that way." The young woman flicked her hair, "The guy looks quite handsome, and it’d be such a pity if a good-looking person died. The game world is pretty dull; it wouldn’t hurt to keep a few eye candies around." As if struck by a sore spot, the dwarf let out a cold laugh, "I wonder who’s more handsome compared to Brother Tu!" Throwing a flirtatious glance at the middle-aged man, the young woman said, "Of course, no one can surpass Brother Tu, but this guy is smart enough. He’s the only one who managed to get information from the puppet’s mouth. Keeping him might be useful. As for that young lady, just hand her over to the twins." The twins looked strikingly similar; one was slightly taller. Hearing the woman’s words, the taller one said, "She’s so frail, she’ll die after a bit of tossing around. I’m not interested; you guys do as you wish." "Focus on the important things," Brother Tu cut in impatiently, nodding at Xu Huo, "Kid, be smart." "It’s simple. You just have to convince the puppet in the game to set up a simple gambling game." Xu Huo gripped the Crimson Sword, "And then win it." "That’s it?" Brother Tu clearly didn’t believe it. "We’ve been in the game for several days, trying to find a breakthrough with the puppet as well: threats and bribes didn’t work. Convincing the puppet to agree to a bet probably won’t be that easy either." The white-haired old man said to Brother Tu, "Keeping this person could be useful." Brother Tu also considered using Xu Huo to pave the way, gave a look to the twins, and the next second, they appeared on either side of Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu, five meters apart, pushing towards the center simultaneously! The air seemed to have been sliced into a section, peeling away from the gases like a mirror, and immediately pressing towards the two in the center! Xu Huo raised his sword horizontally in an instant to block the two slices of air, but unexpectedly, the seemingly substantial sections passed through the sword as if it was still just air, trapping him on both sides. He struck back with his hand, but his fist solidly hit the transparent section and rebounded back with several times the force! After shaking his numbed hand, he saw Yan Jiayu swing her stick, about to stop her, when her Stone Stick landed heavily on the section, cracking it. Accompanied by the crackling sounds of shattering, one of the sections broke. Seeing the section being shattered, the surrounding players’ eyes lit up, especially the twins, who said immediately, "Good stuff, I’m taking it!" As soon as they finished speaking, the two started running, pulling out translucent sections from the air as they went, surrounding them from all directions. Moreover, these slices could be stacked, and once stacked, they couldn’t be broken by Yan Jiayu’s bare hands. "What kind of item is this?" Yan Jiayu barely managed to hold onto her stick, looking left and right to see that the sections had already caged them in like a prison. She immediately tried to climb over. However, as soon as she poked her head out, Brother Tu’s marble flew over, forcing her to retreat back into the area enclosed by the sections. "This is not an item." The taller twin explained, "It’s an attribute, one in ten thousand, that can affect space. Of course, it’s not an attribute you people can compare with. Other than items containing the element of space, all other item attacks will be ineffective!" "Bullshit!" Yan Jiayu retorted, "If it’s so powerful, why was it shattered by a Stone Stick?" "Are you an idiot?" The tall one retorted, "That’s because your item contains the element of space. Do you think just any stone can be used as an item? Naturally formed items usually have strange powers; it’s a waste having landed in your hands!" It seemed they were determined to get the Stone Stick. Although Yan Jiayu only used the Stone Stick as an ordinary club, she wasn’t about to just hand it over. She turned to look at Xu Huo.
