Chapter 2396: Chapter 2396: An Unconventional Powerhouse

If even cutting off the game channel doesn’t truly separate the game, it means the Super Evolution Power is still controllable by the game, not something completely unreachable by it, just undisturbed under the game’s rules.

This further makes him doubt the effect of the Time Force, wondering if the curved time can really alter the past to a certain extent as Dr. Wu and he expected.

Shi Shuai was obviously not interested in this topic, "Let’s not talk about this. I’m just curious, is your Perfect Potion real?"

"A prospective Super Player, and you can’t recognize it?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "I thought you persistently followed me because you knew the inside story. Or is it that we’re just strangers meeting by chance, and you want to use me to draw out the boss behind the Fish Banquet and get the Four-sided Pyramid? The Prop Fish is yours, and it chased me with the Tentacle Tool for so long."

Shi Shuai let go of him, glanced around, "We’re friends, don’t worry about it so much. When I become a Super Player, I’ll have your back. When you’re in danger, just mention my name, and no one will dare to trouble you!"

"Really, thank you." Xu Huo looked at him steadily, "I wonder if you have any token, or a prop, that allows me to contact you immediately when I’m in danger."

"I’ve locked onto you," Shi Shuai pointed at his own eyes with two fingers and then pointed at him, confidently said: "You don’t need to find me, I can find you anytime, after all, I’m a Super Player."

Xu Huo picked up the Black Blade that had fallen to the ground and said to the Girl in the painting, "This space is about to disappear, and we will soon return to the Fish Banquet Building, be prepared."

"Don’t worry," Shi Shuai beckoned the Space Fish over, "I’ll make sure you two get out safely. Dead fish eyes, grow bigger."

The Space Fish’s dull eyeball moved slightly, then it head-butted towards his nose...with a hint of personal grudge...but it wasn’t successful, being blocked effortlessly by Shi Shuai with one finger.

Xu Huo is a Super Evolver...even if he wasn’t, he could feel the power curled up by the movement of the Space Fish, and Shi Shuai could effortlessly block it; his strength is undoubtedly formidable, but...

The man being beaten by the fish already used both hands to pry open the fish’s mouth, forcibly climbing in, and turned his head to call him over, "Hurry up, we’ll talk somewhere else."

Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting still entered the fish’s belly.

The Space Fish moved through the Fish Banquet Building, dodging the Fish Banquet Player’s searches steadily.

Looking at people occasionally passing by them, Xu Huo asked, "How many more props like the Tentacle Tool are there here?"

"Quite a few," Shi Shuai now added some seriousness, "The Fish Banquet has several bosses, with strong family backgrounds, and several regional Governors are involved. There are many dungeon props seized, with no usual place to use them, they are kept here as entertainment projects."

"Did you take the Tentacle Tool?" Xu Huo then asked, "Aren’t you interested in the other props?"

"What’s the point of having so many props, they’re not very useful." Shi Shuai waved his hand, "You’re interested in the Tentacle because it can run and jump, right? It formed an instance when born, the instance was destroyed but it didn’t disappear, it has thoughts, it’s hard to be collected and used, otherwise it wouldn’t be placed here."

"I thought props would be restricted by the game at birth."

Actually, the Girl in the painting, Mr. Dong, and Little Pink Hat are all intelligent and thoughtful props, subject to minimal game restrictions and can act freely, unlike some naturally born props, including ’Three Seconds of a Lifetime,’ they all have usage restrictions. Does this mean intelligent props are less likely to be restricted by the game?

"Intelligent artifacts are much better than humans." Shi Shuai patted the space inside the fish’s belly, "Look at my fish, not only can it freely enter and exit spaces, but it can also cooperate with me, it’s no longer a common prop...it has become a spirit!"

Originally wanting to hear some in-depth analysis from his mouth, Xu Huo gritted his teeth, "Find a place to drop us off."

"Huh, you’re not planning to leave," Shi Shuai looked at him strangely, "Without the Space Fish, this place is too dangerous for you two."

"No choice," Xu Huo said, "I’m here to find someone, I can’t leave without finding them."

"Who are you looking for, say, I’ll help you." Shi Shuai added, "Do you have any more Perfect Potions, give me two."

Xu Huo forced a smile, "Really? I was thinking of asking you for two since you’re a Super Player, your good stuff must be more than mine."

"Unfortunately, I don’t have any." Shi Shuai laughed heartily, casually said, then added, "You helped me, I should help you once, but I’m in a hurry to seize an instance, can’t delay more time, I’ll give you a prop instead."

He took out an empty frame.

"This is a Spatial Instrument, it can open most spaces. If you are stuck in the Fish Banquet, use it to escape. Its location is in the outside District 001."

This was genuine goodwill. Xu Huo accepted it and thanked him, then said: "Are you sure it’s positioned in District 001, it’s not another space where personal panels can’t be opened, right?"

"How could it be?" Shi Shuai had a look of "rest assured with me" on his face, "But it’s a consumable, can only be used twice, use it sparingly."

"Alright, goodbye, next time you hear my name, it will definitely be on notifications across the platform!" After speaking, he flicked his hand in the air, and Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting were out of the fish belly space, entering a room in the Fish Banquet.

There were no fluctuations of Spatial Power around, it seemed like he had really left.

"His name? What’s his name?" the Girl in the painting raised the Communicator and asked. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Who knows, he didn’t say." Xu Huo said calmly, "Maybe it’s just his name."

"Then his name sounds awful, doesn’t match his looks at all," the Girl in the painting added.

Shi Shuai certainly possesses strength, but his words were vague, and he was unwilling to exchange contact information...of course, this might be a personal habit, but from these clues, it can also be seen that he’s not a very reliable prospective Super Player.

"Isn’t he the person we’re looking for?" The Girl in the painting hadn’t forgotten the purpose of this trip.

Xu Huo also guessed he might be, but the person is gone and didn’t reveal anything, so it doesn’t matter anymore.

"Let’s keep searching, the Gourmet might not really be in the Fish Banquet, if we really can’t find them, we’ll leave first."

He needed to spend some time preparing for the next instance.

"Bang!" At this moment, the room door was slammed open, and an injured player rolled in, followed by two others. Seeing Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting, they made the first move, using props to block their range of movement, and one of them stepped forward to blow a breath at them, turning the moving wind within the blockade into a Wind Blade that could cut through skin!
