Chapter 2112: Reasons for liking the civilized world

The painted woman happily walked away, leaving Xu Hua still inside the restaurant. The female player said with interest, "I think she's not quite right in the head. Aren't you afraid she'll get scammed?"
"It's just a little money, not a big problem if we get cheated," said Xu Huodao.
The female player shrugged and said no more.
People came in and out of the restaurant. Because it was close to the heritage site, many people would stay to rest after their meal. Xu Huodao was one of those who stayed. Soon, a large group of players streamed into the restaurant again. There weren't enough seats inside, so the owner couldn't ask the already seated customers to leave and had to ask the newcomers to find another place to eat.
```htmlIn general, such situations do not lead to conflict, but it seems that someone was in a bad mood. When the boss's handkerchief accidentally fell on a player's foot, and the boss was about to pick it up, the player directly stepped on the boss's hand. He said, "So many people are sitting here without eating. Why don't you ask them to leave? Instead, you drive away the new guests. Is this how District 011 treats its guests?"```
The boss's face changed, half kneeling on the ground, saying, "It's just that the store is too small, the hospitality is inadequate, the hospitality is inadequate..."
Unfortunately, the boss's meekness did not win over these people. The player kicked him away and sat down near the door at a few tables, saying, "It's okay to squeeze... don't you think so?"
徐获和之前对话的女玩家都坐在靠近门口的位置，也有一起拼桌的玩家，每张桌子上也不过两三个空位，刚好够玩家们不算挤地坐下来，但这帮人一插进来，人挨人立刻就变得拥挤起来。
```htmlNormally, strangers wouldn't casually get this close to each other, especially when there might be physical contact involved. However, these people seem completely oblivious to any hostility from other players. One of the men intentionally sits next to the female player and even reaches out to put his arm around her shoulder, smiling mischievously as he leans in closer.```
女玩家的匕首抵在了自己肩膀的位置，男人装模作样地抬起手，“搭一下肩膀，用不着反应这么大吧，我看你是短发还以为是个男的呢！”
```htmlHe winked and nudged his companions, and exchanged glances with other men at the table, seemingly trying to provoke the female player in this way.
The female player was indeed provoked by him. After a moment, the joking man suddenly stood up, turned over his palm, only to find that his palm had turned black.```
“你敢下毒！”男人一喝，同行的几人立刻将女玩家包围起来。
“柿子挑软的捏，你不会看我是个女人就故意找我的麻烦吧。”女玩家也站起来，朝几人眨了眨眼，“不好意思，你们踢到铁板了！”
A few players exchanged glances, seeming to have intentions of starting a fight, but at this moment the female player shouted outside, "Someone's trying to forcibly enter the ruins!"
维持秩序的本地的玩家下一秒便出现在了饭店里，几个佩戴统一徽章的高级玩家看着那几个企图闹事的人，领头的说：“和城虽然不禁止玩家斗殴，但假借闹事玩花样的伎俩我们也看得多了，要吃饭的话就坐下来吃饭，否则只能请你们离开这里了。”
```htmlA few players exchanged glances, quickly made a decision, and coldly glanced at the female player and the patrolmen before walking out of the restaurant.
The patrolmen then withdrew from the restaurant.```
The female player sat back down in her position and smiled, saying, "This is why I love the civilized world."
In fact, there are still many people like those just now who are trying to cause trouble, but their intentions are unclear, probably all related to the battlefield ruins, just don't know what they specifically want to do.
徐获又坐了会儿才结账离开，一边往自由市场那边走，一边仔细看购买来的和城地图和遗址攻略。
没错，战斗遗址也出了攻略，主要内容是讲述什么位置是公认的力量比较集中的地方，还有曾经二次进化的那几个人的具体位置，另外还有宗教势力的渗入，攻略上还有来自不同宗教宣扬的能够获得好运和成功的信物，外形都倾向可爱，和城内没见过几个大人佩戴，反而小孩子购买的多一些。
```html“Young man, do you want to see something exciting?” An old lady approached him mysteriously and handed him a folded leaflet. “It would be such a pity to come all this way and not give it a try. I guarantee you'll want to try it a second time after just one try!”```
She didn't linger too much and left after speaking. Then Xu Huo opened the promotional flyer, which prominently read "Passionate Battle", "Bloody Queen of the Arena vs. Up-and-coming Meat-eating Tiger", "A heated martial arts competition that stakes reputation and fortune" and other eye-catching phrases, with the betting platform of Jixing Terminal at the bottom.
将宣传单随手放进了路边的垃圾桶里，徐获很快到了自由市场，这里果然有很多玩家在做生意，除了常见的车票、一般道具、普通仪器，还有一些来自不同分区的植物，和经过特殊道具运输来的珍惜昆虫等一些小动物，种类繁多。
```htmlHe stopped in front of a glass cultivation cabinet, examining a cluster of purplish-blue fungi inside, and asked the player next to him, "What kind of mushroom is this?"
"I don't know the scientific name, but it's commonly known as 'Three-Second Knockout'," the player carefully pressed against the glass door of the cultivation cabinet, "This thing is highly poisonous and should not be touched casually. The clusters next to it are also toxic. They need to be cultivated in closed environments daily, and extra caution is required when adding nutrients... Are you interested in this? Can you handle it? If you're not experienced, don't mess with it just because of a momentary interest."```
“怎么卖的？”徐获又问。
“整缸买的话你给五万白钞。”对方道：“我绝不是随口叫价，这些毒菌养起来很费精神，还得非常小心，我都养了两年了，要不是最近缺钱，肯定不会拿出来卖的……”
Seeing that he still seemed to want to continue speaking, Xu Huo interrupted and said, "Beneath the poisonous fungi, there is a miniature grass plant commonly found near the city. After being broken, it often regrows roots at the break and can grow a finger's length in one day. Based on the grass plant in your cabinet, this whole chunk of soil was probably dug out in less than five days."
The player smiled awkwardly and said, "Seems like I've encountered an expert. This is indeed something I dug up from the wild a few days ago, but this kind of poisonous fungus is not something you can find easily. You must know that if you're willing to stop and ask for the price. How about this, you give me twenty thousand in cash, it's not easy for me to risk my life to bring it back."
"Two thousand," Xu Huo bargained, "If not, forget it."
The player's face turned green, "Brother, I've been squatting here for half a day. Two thousand is a bit too much. Can you add a little? My son is still waiting for me to buy some food to take back!"
