Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

When the upgrade of the "Life Origin" usage and effects was completed, it wasn’t described in detail, and now the enhanced effects were somewhat beyond Xu Huo’s expectations.

He checked the props he had on him and, confirming there was no damage, reactivated the props. This time, he didn’t directly touch the metal objects but placed his hand on the ground. Instantly, the metal needle that had shot through the Defensive Barrier and was embedded in a tree hundreds of meters away turned to ashes. Along with it, a camper parked further away was rendered unusable, its wheels and shell vanished along with the metal structure inside, causing the bed, kitchenware, and other items inside to crash noisily to the ground.

Xu Huo paused at the sight, and by materializing his Psychic Power, suspended several props and metal utensils at different heights for another test. This time, both the props and utensils remained intact, but the knives in the knife rack of the camper vanished.

The situation was the same as the metal needle on the tree.

After a few more attempts, he roughly understood the situation with the "Life Origin." The props could still destroy formed metal objects, but no direct contact was required. However, the premise for destroying metal objects without direct contact was that they couldn’t be airborne; there had to be an object as a medium of connection from any place.

This means from now on, using this prop won’t require direct touching of metal objects.

"Hey, are you okay?" A player coming from the direction of Lingshui Town stopped at a distance upon noticing him.

Xu Huo, just having raised his hand, placed it back on the ground. The player had no abnormalities on him.

It seems that a person cannot be used as a medium for indirect contact. Although it’s not known whether direct contact with a human body would produce effects similar to a mannequin.

He raised his head, and in the next instant was behind the player, placing his right hand on the player’s shoulder, causing several props to drop.

"What are you doing?" The player backed away while tossing a prop in reverse, but the prop didn’t activate, and Xu Huo, who remained motionless, glanced at the untouched metal utensils in the distant grass:

Life Origin, well named indeed.

Being able to destroy metal or props with metal components was surprising enough, but it could even use a contact object as a source to radiate metal objects within its connection range. Generally, except for the small radius when using a human as a source, the range for other objects is almost as vast as the "Life Core." The longer the prop is activated, the greater the destruction range.

No need to mention the complexity of space and time within a human body, as one of the top Rank-A props, it should be easy to destroy any prop or instrument containing metal components.

Hopefully, the mannequins active in Zone 039 are all made of metal.

"Are you its companion?" Xu Huo eyed the player who seemed ready for a battle.

The man had already noticed the deflated clothes and shoes lying on the ground, and now felt overwhelming heartache, for of the props on him, aside from a few that had turned to powder or dropped, at least half were now unusable. This included one Rank A Prop and one top Rank-B prop, and this was only from a brief encounter with Xu Huo!

"I was just passing by, and seeing you crouched on the ground, thought you were injured and came to ask." He spoke through clenched teeth; misunderstanding or not, the props were definitely gone for good. Seeing no intentions from Xu Huo to attack further, he immediately used a Teleportation Prop to escape.

Xu Huo chuckled, tidied up briefly, and headed straight to Linghe Town.

The environment of Linghe Town was even worse than that of Lingshui Town. Although many people lived in the small town, many destroyed houses hadn’t been rebuilt, and the habitable areas were very crowded.

Players moving through the town inevitably crossed paths, and though Linghe Town wasn’t a significant location, most encountered here had links to Dou Hui, creating mutual wariness.

Xu Huo followed the address given by a young man, unexpectedly meeting the previous unfortunate fellow. The moment he saw Xu Huo, his face fell, and layers of Defensive Barriers instantly covered him.

Xu Huo smiled slightly, pushed open the old courtyard gate, and went in, calling a bigger kid in the yard, handing him a pack of snacks, "Does Mr. Gong Shu live here?"

The child received it, and after politely thanking him, said, "Mr. Gong Shu went to visit relatives, hasn’t returned for days."

"Did someone come to pick him up?" Xu Huo asked further.

"An old grandpa and an aunt," the child replied, "I heard the aunt say they are players from elsewhere, and Mr. Gong Shu left with them, saying to guide them to the town library."

Xu Huo clarified the library’s location, gave some more snacks for the other kids to share, and upon exiting found the unfortunate fellow had long gone.

Not in a hurry, Xu Huo walked along the town’s only main road, gathering information about Mie City and Dou Hui. By the time he reached the town library, the player who had left earlier was already trapped in a large box, covered by a transparent substance, even moving his eyeballs was difficult.

And inside the two-level library, besides the elderly man and woman mentioned by the child, were two other male players, with the whereabouts of the teacher Gong Shu remaining unknown.

The two men immediately blocked Xu Huo’s way back, with the Bald Head grinning and saying, "What luck, been squatting for so many days without anyone coming, and today two in one go."

"Is Gong Shu still alive?" Xu Huo asked.

The female player stood by the second-floor window, "How about worrying if you can survive first?"

Xu Huo nodded, "Makes sense, we can discuss Gong Shu later."

As soon as the words fell, he pressed his hand to the ground. Accompanied by the sound of the library collapsing, all five players present were crushed to the ground.

Xu Huo looked at them, "Now, you should also worry if you can survive."

"Gong Shu is on him!" The Bald Head immediately identified the elder, "I’m just here for the fun, nothing to do with the National Treasure instance!"

"So you’re all players of the National Treasure instance," Xu Huo’s gaze moved among the remaining three.

*

Half of its body being smashed into the ground didn’t hinder it from using instruments, several instruments flew out from various parts of the mannequin’s body, along with several Space Cutting Lines bouncing from its back.

Defensive Barriers were successively breached, Xu Huo flipped and leapt to the side of the mannequin, tilting his head to avoid the metal thin needle spat from its mouth, and in the instant all barriers vanished, he reached and stabbed into its eyeball!

In merely the blink of an eye, the metal mannequin deflated, with the human skin and clothes dropping to the ground, and the props and instruments it wore turning into fine dust.

Since "Life Core" upgraded to "Life Origin," he hadn’t used it yet. Now it appears not only has the speed of destroying metal increased, but even the destruction range has expanded.

Originally, "Life Core" could destroy metal it touched, like with a building; if its internal metal materials had contact points, the entire building’s metal structure could quickly be obliterated, while separate metal objects inside the building wouldn’t be included.

But "Life Origin," besides destroying metal instruments through clothing, also rendered some intact-looking instruments and props worthless.

Only three instruments were usable in the end.
