Chapter 2343: Chapter 2343: Huahan Werna’s Visit

But now it’s almost time, Xu Huo cannot spend too much time, next he has to go to Zone 011, and then he can look for the Gourmet.

Others certainly understand, they know the recent actions of the Special Defense Department, to avoid being ambushed, leaving Zone 014 as soon as possible is the right choice.

Ordinary players are no match for him, but if they use some instances to delay his time, it would be very troublesome.

Before leaving, Xu Huo had a video call with his family and also opened a closed little garden alone at his residence, planting some mushrooms inside, after some consideration, he finally did not leave the seed pinched out from the Super Prop by the Goddess, but found a flower pot and buried the Nüwa Stone and it together inside, then put it into the luggage compartment.

After finishing these, he used Tickets to head to Zone 011.

Once the children and adults left the castle, it became much quieter. Mr. Dong was undoubtedly happy to see him and the Girl in the painting return, his usually expressionless face showed a bit of a smile, and upon entering, he urged the kitchen to prepare drinks and fruits for them.

"Is Dr. Deng not home?" Xu Huo noticed there was no one at the lab building.

"Dr. Deng went out to visit friends," Mr. Dong replied, "Dr. Deng has recently met some like-minded friends."

Xu Huo nodded upon hearing this, Dr. Deng is so shrewd, he should not suffer any losses.

The news in Zone 011 is very well-informed, he arrived at the castle less than an hour ago, and messages of condolences had already been sent, roughly congratulating him for safely returning from the instance once again, if he had free time maybe meet for a meal.

An hour, it was probably deliberately spaced out for politeness.

But Xu Huo doesn’t have time for socializing now, he handed all the messages to Mr. Dong to deal with, while he wrote a letter and sent it to the Werna Family.

Indeed, he still decided to meet Huahan Werna.

Last time they met, Huahan Werna extended a hand of friendship to him, although there was no strong intention to recruit, if he wants to cooperate with him, he must compromise with the Werna Family and Zone 011, but this meeting is not for Evolution, not sure if Huahan Werna’s knowledge is sufficient to know the origin and elimination method of the Water Rubik’s Cube.

That night, a reply came from the Werna Family, stating that Mr. Hua Han has gone out, return date uncertain, but they had already conveyed the message, if Mr. Hua Han wants to see him, he’ll reply within three days.

Three days, Xu Huo decided to wait for three more days.

However, without waiting for a reply from the Werna Family, Huahan Werna arrived at the Rose Castle first.

He arrived quietly in the evening of the next day, appeared in the castle hall, looked upstairs from afar, and smiled meaningfully.

Xu Huo also came to the hall soon after, when they met face to face, they both got a general idea of each other’s state.

Huahan Werna noticed he was in a predicament, but showed no intention of mocking.

And Xu Huo merely held an attitude of giving it a shot, not insisting on having the Werna Family solve the problem.

They sat down, Xu Huo poured tea for Huahan Werna and started, "Sorry to trouble you making a trip, I thought you wouldn’t come back on short notice."

Huahan took a sip of tea, "The family doesn’t know my whereabouts, I’d actually been staying here all along..."

He smiled at Xu Huo, "This way avoids a lot of troublesome affairs."

Xu Huo also smiled, from last meeting he knew Huahan Werna’s relationship with the Werna Family isn’t very close, while the Werna Family is eager to find someone to take his place, Huahan himself has this intention but with a casual approach.

"You’ve made great progress." Huahan examined him, "Returning to the right path in such a short time and progressing rapidly, you’re the most talented Evolver I’ve ever seen."

He said while placing a small flower on the table, "Give it a try."

Xu Huo activated the Time Force and projected it onto the fresh flower; the effect of Time Force wasn’t quick, yet the change in the little flower was still noticeable.

"Not bad, not bad." Huahan nodded, "This sufficiently proves not only did you find the right direction, but also mastered certain skills."

"In front of you, I won’t be modest," Xu Huo said, "It’s just that the range of controlling Time Force has expanded, the time forces controlled are random, moreover before invoking Time Force, it’s hard to judge the difference it has with the space I’m in."

He learned about the issues of time flow in Pumpkin City and the city’s central area controlled by Water Rubik’s Cube, yet those were results from highly concentrated Time Force, making the change in time flow more apparent, estimating quickly during use is quite challenging.

"It’s not a problem difficult to overcome," Huahan said, "Once your Evolution Rate increases more, such minor problems can be easily resolved, right now you just lack sensitivity."

He said this with another smile, "Your Evolution Rate is quite interesting."

Generally, Advanced Players would slow down their evolution speed as the effect of Evolution Potion weakens, possibly drinking heaps of Evolution Potion might only evolve 1% or 2%, and the difference may not be observable in a short period, but Xu Huo’s Evolution Rate already exceeded 50%, further leap growth scenario is unlikely, if it happens, that would be abnormal.

Xu Huo’s expression slightly changed, to prevent outsiders from discerning his Evolution Rate clues, he always wears custom prop costumes, originally to cover up the Evolution Rate, yet Huahan Werna still saw through it in one glance.

"Don’t be nervous." Huahan raised a hand, signaling him to relax, "You young folks are full of thoughts, if I wanted to kill you, would it be for such a trivial reason like Evolution Rate?"

"Let’s get back to your issue," he fixed his gaze on the position of Xu Huo’s chest then slightly flicked his thumb and forefinger in the air, a ripple of Time Force emanated from him covering the entire castle, the powerful force seemed to distort the air, while Xu Huo within it seemed to twist as well, he was impacted and involuntarily bent over, trapped in an indescribable blankness, his brain buzzed.

Then, he saw a thumb-sized transparent small cube emerging from his chest, pulsing like water away from his body, simultaneously, a Water Rubik’s Cube Barrier appeared around his body, unlike previous attacks from props, the barrier rolled like waves at high speed, yet it merely rolled without being disrupted.

Furthermore, in the next second, the water cube ejected returned again into his body!

Xu Huo was supported by a force to sit back on the sofa, and Huahan told him, "This thing now is better than any Defense Prop for you."
