Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 49 - 49 49 Younger Brother

49: Chapter 49 Younger Brother 49: Chapter 49 Younger Brother “When visiting, you should always greet the host properly,” said Skinning Artisan, probing.

“Mr.

Wang, were you previously working at the tax bureau?”

Xu Huo didn’t answer his question but instead looked at him with disdain.

“You think you’re fit to greet my brother-in-law?”

Without waiting for him to respond, he continued, “It’s no use asking so many questions, how long can you even stay here?

Do you think you can make up for lost time at the last moment?”

“That’s true,” Skinning Artisan, who was burly and simple-minded, relaxed his expression and laughed goofily, “Migrating from one site to another like us, we definitely can’t compare with the super players who stay at a site permanently.”

Xu Huo paused for a moment, then intoned, “People need to have ambitions.”

Skinning Artisan laughed loudly, “Once I return from the E27 Wormhole Point, there’s a chance for me to level up my instance again, and then my butchery can transform into a large processing plant.

My skill in making canned meat is unparalleled; it’s such a waste that no one is ordering all that pork.”

Speaking of food,” Xu Huo turned to him after hearing this and asked, “When do we eat?”

Skinning Artisan was full of enthusiasm, “Just today I slaughtered a few pigs, the meat is still fresh!”

Xu Huo, repulsed, said, “How can I eat something that’s dirty and stinks?

I just saw some live fish, we can kill and eat them fresh.”

Skinning Artisan, a little disappointed at not being able to show off his knife skills and cooking, called over a player with a loud voice.

It was Tang Pei.

Skinning Artisan gave her a glance, looked back at Xu Huo, and seeing that he just glanced at the woman’s chest with little interest before averting his gaze, he couldn’t help but cheer up again and ordered, “Get the fish ready.”

After giving the instruction, he didn’t bother with Tang Pei anymore and instead invited Xu Huo to taste his hidden stock of liquor.

Tang Pei dawdled, hoping to get some hints from Xu Huo, but he didn’t so much as glance her way, so she had no choice but to do as Skinning Artisan had asked.

By the time the fried fish was served, Xu Huo and Skinning Artisan had already finished a bottle of strong liquor, and they were in the middle of a conversation about women.

“…

the women from E27 are no good, they lack a certain touch,” Skinning Artisan said, making a grabbing gesture with his fingers.

Xu Huo’s collar was loosened, and his face seemed a bit red from drinking.

He leaned against the couch, sipping his drink and said, “Why go for outsiders when the ones you raise yourself are the best?

Use top-quality potions and food from the start, and make her look however you want.”

Skinning Artisan, lost in thought, tipped back his head and guzzled a great gulp of liquor, wiping his messy beard.

He grabbed the fried fish and chewed it, bones and all, before swallowing, “I’ve heard before of people raising them for eating, but this is the first I’ve heard of raising them for using.

The taste must be exceptional.”

Xu Huo just gave a knowing smile.

Skinning Artisan’s boisterous laughter echoed from the meeting room turned temporary dining hall.

Three players came in and out of the bedroom in quick succession.

Including Tang Pei, who kept watch, all of them returned to the workshop with beads of sweat on their backs.

“Still nothing,” Qin An said with frustration.

“We don’t have any mechanical or luck-enhancing items, relying solely on manpower is just a wasted effort on the time we’ve bought.”

“Maybe opening the secret room itself requires a special item,” Tang Pei speculated.

“That’s why we can’t find it.”

“What do we do then?” Xian Dazhi looked at them helplessly, “I’m not smart and I’m uneducated.

I can help with fighting, but I’m not good with thinking.”

Zou Weichang, seeing him so exasperated, said, “If all else fails, let’s just try not to anger Skinning Artisan for these fifteen days, and when the game time is up, we’ll use the tickets to leave.”

Qin An also entertained the thought, but Tang Pei bit her lip and said, “I don’t have any tickets left, can anyone sell me one?”

They fell silent for a moment, just then Skinning Artisan’s voice grew from distant to near, “Younger Brother Wang, I didn’t expect you to enjoy fishing too.

I’ve collected quite a few fishing items, you’ll definitely be interested.”

“The thing about interests is that they should be natural to be fun, anyone can catch fish with gear, but it’s the skill and eye that make a master,” Xu Huo’s voice was a bit floaty, obviously drunk.

“You’re right!” Skinning Artisan’s fan-sized palm thundered onto his shoulder, “Younger Brother Wang, we share the same passion; you must stay a few more days!”

Xu Huo likewise patted his back, with an “all bros together” kind of look, “No problem, next time you come, I’ll call you for fishing!”

The two walked arm in arm into the bedroom, where Xu Huo, who looked two sizes smaller than Skinning Artisan from the back, actually did not seem at all weaker in presence.

Did he just walk into Skinning Artisan’s bedroom like that?

From the sound of it, Skinning Artisan wanted to show him his collectibles.

There were no items in the bedroom, so he could enter the secret room openly and above board?

Several players held their breaths, only daring to communicate with their eyes, afraid that speaking up would let Xu Huo give away any hints.

Once the door between the skins had closed, they all exhaled in relief and at the same time, hope arose in their hearts.

Perhaps Xu Huo could directly steal the collectibles out?

On the other side, Xu Huo who entered the room full of skins was startled by the various animal skins hung vertically in the room.

It was already dark outside, and dozens or hundreds of shadows dangled under the barbed hooks, at first glance looking like dozens of humans hung there.

“These…” He slowed his speech as he started to ask, Skinning Artisan, obviously in high spirits, cut him off, “What’s so interesting about these?

They’re either fur or human skin.

The stuff I collect, now that’s really something good!”

Human skin?

Xu Huo quickly scanned the room with the skins, his gaze slightly darkened before he pretended as if nothing was amiss and followed Skinning Artisan into the bedroom.

Upon entering, Skinning Artisan first shook his arms, then placed both palms against the wall beside the bed and, using brute force, shifted the entire wall horizontally by more than a meter, opening two passages wide enough for a person.

Xu Huo went in first and after Skinning Artisan entered, he took a quick glance around the hidden chamber.

The space of the secret room was slightly larger than the bedroom outside.

Two single sofas faced each other with a table between them, on which were fishing hooks and knives, as well as unfinished drinks and glasses.

There were shelves on three walls of the room, each filled with seemingly ordinary and inconspicuous items, such as matches, fishing rods, bottle openers, and over a dozen other items each placed within its own box, making it unclear if they were items.

Stacks of cigarettes, White Notes, and erotic magazines were scattered in corners of the room, among which were also moldy fruit pits.

On another wall was a fireplace, oddly with a log burning inside, but the flame had no heat.

Above the fireplace hung a painting of a woman with a large bust and hips.

When Xu Huo looked over, the woman in the painting threw him a flirty look.

With a clap from Skinning Artisan, the woman, naked, jumped out from the painting and began to kiss him passionately.

She had a human form, but no human thinking.

While fondling her, Skinning Artisan said to Xu Huo, “How about that, Younger Brother Wang?

She’s at your call, give her a photo and she can turn into any woman, able to play out any fantasy.

You don’t have something like this, do you?”

“Indeed, I don’t,” Xu Huo said slowly, staring at the woman.
