"You want to go to the Upper District? Can't be done. Can't be done."
After taking the Little Train through the city to the Middle District of Hell Mountain, Gu Xi had been asking around for a way to enter the Upper District and meet Liu Quan.
But no matter how he asked, the answer was always the same: it couldn't be done.
Gu Xi found the situation rather speechless.
Seeing the dejected look on Gu Xi's face, a fairly kindhearted player approached him.
"I'm telling you, little brother, forget about the Upper District.
Only the Liu family and Lord Liu's Undead Department can go up there. No other players can enter.
If you have some way to contact Lord Liu, then Lord Liu might come down to meet you. Of course, it's more likely that one of Lord Liu's Contract Undead will come deliver a message, telling you to go back where you came from and stop disturbing him."
"Oh, could you tell me more?"
It was rare for someone to pay him any attention, so Gu Xi quickly held the player back and asked.
"Well..."
"Oh, I happen to be a little hungry. If you don't mind, how about we go to a nearby tavern or restaurant and talk while we eat?"
Gu Xi understood as soon as he saw the player's expression.
"Oh, how could I possibly accept that? You must not know this area well. I'll take you somewhere."
After saying that, the player pointed in a direction. Instead of Gu Xi dragging him along, he was now dragging Gu Xi.
Seeing how anxious the player was, Gu Xi knew that he really was hungry.
"Don't rush, friend. I'm not going anywhere. By the way, what should I call you?"
"My surname is Wu. Wu Zhi.
