Chapter 465 315: Exchange Conditions, News of the Mysterious Realm
Rat Tail Juice could see that Xu Youran simply wanted them to go to the Xu Family; she had clearly come here with a purpose. While they certainly needed the Transformation Potion, it wasn't absolutely necessary to obtain it from the Xu Family. They could just as well get it from the City Lord's Mansion.
Hearing Rat Tail Juice's words, Xu Youran became visibly anxious and quickly spoke, "Our Xu Family can help you gather Transformation Potions, but we need specific information about the Mysterious Realm."
Just as expected! Her purpose has revealed itself, hasn't it?
Rat Tail Juice glanced at Master Pang and the others, smiled faintly, and said, "Let me tell you the truth. The Mysterious Realm isn't a place you can go to, not even the strongest among you. Entering is certain death."
"Then how come you all are fine?" Xu Youran hurriedly asked. "And you all came out alive, didn't you? The Transformation Potion must be effective in the Mysterious Realm, right?"
Seeing her eager demeanor, Rat Tail Juice just smiled and remained silent. Master Pang and the others also stopped engaging with Xu Youran. This NPC talks way too much. Little Fish is much more obedient. She just does what she's told and isn't overly curious about everything. Even if she is curious, Little Fish wouldn't ask.
Master Pang said happily, "Little Fish, could you help us contact your City Lord? Tell him we need a large amount of voice-changing potions."
"Ah? Oh, sure!" Little Fish was momentarily stunned, but then she nodded in agreement after regaining her senses. However, from the corner of her eye, she still glanced at Xu Youran, her expression slightly complex. She wasn't foolish; she could naturally discern Xu Youran's motives—and by extension, the Xu Family's. Since Master Pang and his team didn't want to deal with the Xu Family, there was no need for her to get involved with them either.
At that moment, Junlin arrived with people from Lingxiao Hall. Seeing Rat Tail Juice and the others gathered at the entrance, he approached, smiling, to greet them. "Guys, why are you all chatting here?" Junlin chuckled. "Run into trouble? Need our help dealing with it? Old Mo is very skilled at handling women." As he spoke, his companions' expressions turned hostile as they stared at Xu Youran. Never mind a Female NPC; they would dare to lay hands even on a female player. This game was different from others, after all. Players here faced no restrictions whatsoever. Old Mo, the Female NPC Killer, was truly fearless. If they provoked a Heavenly Tribulation, they would simply flee, leaving Xu Youran to resign herself to her fate.
Watching the people from Lingxiao Hall surround them, Xu Youran couldn't help but frown slightly, her displeasure subtly evident as she swept her gaze over them. However, she quickly concealed this flicker of annoyance, her expression smoothing over almost immediately.
Rat Tail Juice shook his head and said, "It's nothing. We just found something that might be of use to us, but this Miss Xu doesn't seem keen on letting us get it so easily?"
"Oh? Is she that fierce a woman?" Poisonous Panda grimaced, staring at Xu Youran. "How about I go to her house and poison her whole family? If that doesn't work, we could have Old Mo take her for a 'tour' of her home?"
Hearing their words, Rat Tail Juice and his companions felt a chill run down their spines. That's too brutal! Is it really necessary to be this venomous? Poisoning an entire family is one thing, but actually deploying Old Mo, a 'rules weapon'? If a Heavenly Tribulation truly descended, it wouldn't just be the Xu Family; the entirety of Lin'an City might be destroyed, right?
Xu Youran had no idea what she was about to face. These individuals are acquaintances of Rat Tail Juice and likely also survived the Mysterious Realm. People like this are not someone our Xu Family can afford to provoke. Otherwise, they will definitely bring annihilation upon the Xu Family. Their threat to kill my whole family... it's definitely not a joke. Where on earth do these people Little Fish knows come from? Setting aside their power, just their utter indifference to our Xu Family's status... looking across the entire Human Race, there probably aren't many who could act like that. Thanks to our Patriarch, our Xu Family holds a significant place among the Human Race. Not just anyone would dare to disrespect our Xu Family.
"Forget it, forget it. Don't scare her," Junlin said, then turned and asked, "Rat, what's this potion you're talking about? Can it really help us hold out for a while?"
"It's a Transformation Potion," Rat Tail Juice explained. "It allows one to transform into another race or a creature of another bloodline. I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but it should be somewhat similar to the research findings from the House of Evolution, right?"
Hearing that one could directly transform into another race, Junlin's eyes instantly widened. For Human Race players at the current stage, this was crucial. You know, currently, most high-combat-power players have a Human Race Identity. Although the Fifth Test Players are catching up fast, there's still a gap. There are still too few truly impressive players among the Fifth Test Players.
"Are you serious?" Junlin immediately grew tense.
"It's true," Rat Tail Juice explained. "And after transforming, one can revert to their original race using other potions. This potion has an antidote, meaning we can regain our Human Race Identity in the future. That's very important to us."
Indeed! With the Transformation Potion, we won't have to worry about anything else. It will also enable new progress in exploring the Mysterious Realm!
"Alright, prepare as soon as possible," Junlin said thoughtfully. "Contact us directly if you need anything. I'll contact the others. We'll meet in the Elf Forest and then begin the second expedition."
"Okay!" Rat Tail Juice nodded in agreement.
Once Junlin and his team had left, Rat Tail Juice no longer paid Xu Youran any mind. Instead, he took Little Fish and headed Inside the City. They needed to obtain the Transformation Potion quickly, so a meeting with the City Lord of Lin'an City was essential.
Seeing them leave, Xu Youran snapped back to her senses and hurriedly followed. "Wait a second!" Xu Youran quickly stepped forward and explained, "Our Xu Family can provide you with sufficient Transformation Potions, and even the antidote."
"What's the condition?" Rat Tail Juice sneered coldly. "Information about the Mysterious Realm?"
Xu Youran nodded again.
This time, Rat Tail Juice completely abandoned the thought of cooperating with the Xu Family. In his view, the Xu Family might have some capabilities, but it was definitely a mistake to let Xu Youran handle the negotiations. This woman is brainless.
Master Pang and the others also quickened their pace, unwilling to waste any more time. Their goal was to clear the Mysterious Realm as soon as possible. There was no reason to waste time here.
"Little Fish, let's hurry," Master Pang chuckled from the side. "We need to get to the City Lord's Mansion sooner. That way, your City Lord will remember you. In the future, when you go to the Underground City, you won't have to search everywhere for help. Trust me, your City Lord will know how to handle things."
