Automatic rifle, check. Hand grenade, check. Molotov cocktail, check. Fast-acting anesthetic, check. Bulletproof vest, check...
Li Ang, who had just gotten home from school, was in the living room tallying up his gear and stuffing it into his backpack. He threw on a duckbill cap and stepped out of the residential complex, entering a public restroom situated in a surveillance blind spot. Inside a stall, he donned a trench coat to complete his disguise. Carrying a briefcase containing Fire Rat Fur, he exited the restroom with the demeanor of an ordinary office worker and hailed a taxi to the park.
In the park, Liu Wu Dai, clad head to toe, had been waiting for quite some time. Upon receiving a message from Li Ang, he quietly placed the briefcase full of cash under a streetlight and, pretending as if nothing had happened, walked straight towards the fountain.
Li Ang, observing from afar with binoculars, sent a message through their friend link, "The Fire Rat Fur is in the weeds at the southwest corner of the lake."
Liu Wu Dai naturally stood up and walked towards the south side of the park. After confirming no one nearby was paying attention, Li Ang adjusted the collar of his trench coat, pulled his mask tight, and went to retrieve the briefcase.
The trade was thereby completed. Without a word, Liu Wu Dai transferred the remaining Game Coin to Li Ang after confirming receipt of the goods.
Trading between players was just that troublesome; buying and selling an item was as elaborate as arms dealers meeting up.
In any event, the absence of complications was the best outcome. Upon leaving the park, Li Ang weighed the briefcase to make sure there were no tracking devices inside. He then took a taxi and switched between several subway and bus lines, only removing his disguise once he was safely home.
