Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Chapter 2381: Collapse of the Small Space

Xu Huo’s brows furrowed ever so slightly, but he didn’t resist. Soon, his vision shifted, and he followed as people led him into an opulent room. In each corner of the room stood two players, while in the center, on a large reclining bed, lay a woman who appeared to be in her forties. She was dressed in sheer, seductive clothing and didn’t mind the gazes of those around her. As one man knelt before her, she playfully stepped on his face with her gem-studded toes while accepting fruit pieces from another man’s mouth.None in the room reacted to the scene; their gazes didn’t linger even a second on the nearly naked men in front of the woman. A man in a shark mask merely nodded to the woman and stepped aside.

Nobody paid attention to Xu Huo.

The woman was busy bantering with the two men.

It wasn’t until five minutes later that the woman seemed satisfied, wiped her face smeared with lipstick and juice, and adjusted her posture slightly to look at Xu Huo, "I admire those who are willing to gamble."

Xu Huo silently stared at her.

"I heard you brought out a Perfect Potion, which sent those old fools blushing and heart-thumping, not following the rules and cornering you afterward." The woman chuckled, continuing, "Fish Banquet Building is a place that follows rules. They, and the ones who leaked your information, will be expelled. You can rest assured."

"Are you the boss here?" Xu Huo asked.

The woman’s brow twitched slightly, and the next moment, a powerful force struck at his left cheek... An instantly appeared Defensive Barrier blocked the blow, but the force was so strong that it almost pinned him to the wall. Despite several struggles, he couldn’t break free, and his body pressed tightly against the wall, with the Defensive Barrier completely deformed under the pressure!

The woman watched with admiration, waited for him to drop to the ground, and then said, "I don’t like being interrupted when I speak. Only when I allow you to speak can you do so. You’re quite sensible, but a small punishment might teach you a lesson."

Xu Huo stood up straight without expression, waiting for her to continue.

"I like capable people but not those who are excessively arrogant. You need to change that flaw." The woman smiled, "As I mentioned earlier, I admire you. You can work at the Fish Banquet, earning you five hundred million annually. If you exceed the transaction volume of the VIP rooms each year, you can get a commission of two million White Notes for every hundred million."

"In addition, at each annual settlement, you may choose any dungeon prop from the Fish Banquet Building. These dungeon props are mainly core props from small instances, mostly Special items. Regardless of their quality, you are allowed to choose one after a year of work."

"Now you can speak."

Xu Huo said nothing and walked towards her. The woman used her gaze to stop the players wanting to intervene, watching as he sat across from her.

"You’re not like No. 4." He spoke, changing the topic out of nowhere.

The woman laughed, "Do you have a thing for No. 4? That’s my useless niece. To meet her, you must become a cornerstone of the Fish Banquet."

Xu Huo nodded slightly, his fingers caressing the "Time Ring," and calmly said, "A small place like Fish Banquet can’t retain me. Moreover, there are many ways to get money."

"Such as..." He deliberately paused, activating the "Time Ring" while looking at the woman before him, "catching the person in charge of Fish Banquet Building and extorting a massive amount of White Notes."

The static power of the "Time Ring" enveloped the entire room, but everyone inside, including the two unclothed men, didn’t stop under the influence of the Time Force. The woman even burst out in laughter, "Oh, really? You think with a time-related item you can roam freely in the Fish Banquet?"

As she spoke, her laughter abruptly stopped, and she sternly ordered, "Capture him alive. I want to make him my 2001st Pet Man."

"Really?" Xu Huo replied with equal brevity, then unleashed a torrent of Time Force around him. Those players trying to approach him, along with their props, were frozen in place, with some rapidly aging. Most of the props were immediately rendered useless.

"This is the downside of Advanced items and instruments," Xu Huo stood up, watching the woman opposite him age quickly with an expression of fear, "Many were installed with time-limited tools during production, and these time-limited tools are very sensitive to Time Force. Even if they don’t age quickly like humans, their effects are almost nullified, ultimately ruining the prop."

Located in a special space, Fish Banquet Building seemed capable of restricting players’ access using small spaces that haven’t yet entered the game. Tickets can restrict access, but Time Force permeates any space. Even if the spatial limitations in this place affect a small range of time-related items, they can’t influence time torrents from other spaces.

A sharp force suddenly swept through the room, and Xu Huo quickly retreated to the door. The moment he stepped out, the space within the room rapidly collapsed and sank, taking with it everyone caught by the Time Force, warped into a twisted space, only to be replaced by a new space.

In the blink of an eye, the room took on a completely different appearance.

This opened Xu Huo’s eyes. Besides Static Time, only Dou Shengnan has managed to escape directly under Time Force, likely using near-Super Props or Super Props. Fish Banquet’s ability to relocate an entire space to rid itself of Time Force’s grip is impressive, maximizing the neutralization of time’s advantage. It doesn’t even need to use strong enough Spatial Power to interfere with Time Force.

Yet clearly, it wasn’t a perfect solution. During the swap of old and new rooms, the small space seemed to collapse, leaving the new room incompletely replaced and instead revealing a bottomless black abyss.

This was likely another space.

Those swapped out might not survive the fall, but the pit looked unfriendly. Just a glance filled Xu Huo with chilling dread.

He stepped back a couple of steps, triggering the Water Cube Barrier, and then forcefully busted through the encircling players to flee the floor.

Behind him, one black shadow after another emerged from the pit, twining around players in the corridor and dragging them into the room. Those ensnared didn’t utter a sound, nor did they have time to self-rescue, acting as if wooden marionettes!

Xu Huo descended more than ten floors in one breath, feeling the danger that shadowed him dissipate. Other players were also fleeing downstairs, while Shark-masked guards from Fish Banquet moved upstream.
