Chapter 512: War of Attrition
Bai Kou was absolutely right. When Xu Huo brought out this dungeon, he never intended to leave empty-handed. With high-level players present, if they didn't want to clear the instance through normal means, he couldn't force them to. And those people most likely wouldn't clear it through the standard channels anyway; the most probable outcome for the dungeon was destruction.
Since it was a one-time use, of course he had to make the most of it.
He glanced at Bai Kou. "Even a horse needs to eat grass to run. The person you mentioned is a B-rank player, right? I've seen his item before, but I still don't know what his characteristics are. I can't go to kill someone with nothing but my bare hands. If I fail, that would be a headache for you too."
Bai Kou didn't say much more. "This is your turf, you figure it out. If you can't even kill a B-rank player, how can you possibly inherit Uncle Fan Xiao's ancient castle?"
"Right, I also think District 011 is too dangerous. The castle is better off with you. I'll just leave," Xu Huo said to her with sincere earnestness.
Bai Kou rolled her eyes. "Hugo's profession is a black-market doctor. He has two powerful characteristics. One allows him to transform objects into scalpels anytime, anywhere, limited to smaller items, living creatures excluded. The second is that his hands carry an infectious disease. Touching a person or object can transmit this illness. Direct contact or touching a contaminated object will quickly lead to infection and severe symptoms."
"Can a protective suit prevent it?" Xu Huo asked.
"Only a B-grade protective suit can block it completely. But if you're in close combat, can you guarantee you won't get injured?" Bai Kou countered.
Xu Huo did have protective suits on hand; much of the equipment he obtained from Jiang Feng was top-notch. But as Bai Kou said, he didn't have the strength to engage a B-rank player in close combat and come out completely unscathed.
