Xu Huo had no idea what the city center was really like, but judging from the other Players' descriptions, almost none of the Players who dared to enter had ever come back out. If the One-Third Game's vessel was in the city center, then those people were most likely already dead.

Who would dare enter a place like that recklessly? Not to mention the elusive water Rubik's Cube. Even if someone entered the city center without being killed immediately, the best possible outcome would be getting sucked into the game. The One-Third Game had a second round, too. Who knew whether entering from the city center meant certain death?

"Since you know so much about the One-Third Game, and have someone helping you in the city center, why don't you go in yourselves?" Xu Huo asked.

"The spacetime forces in the city center are unstable." The tattooed woman offered a simple explanation.

The meaning was clear. Neither the scientific lunatic who had obtained the One-Third Game nor the Players from the former city government were Super Evolvers with spacetime abilities. So even if they knew what the city center was like, they had no way to avoid the invisible spacetime forces. They needed someone to lead the way.

"The truth about the One-Third Game alone isn't enough of a bargaining chip." Xu Huo was blunt. "That truth has nothing to do with clearing the game. Whether I know it or not doesn't matter."

The tattooed woman had come prepared as well. She smiled. "It shouldn't be easy for you to clear the game, right?"

"The number of Wanted Criminals a Player needs to clear the game is proportional to the Player's strength. To be honest, I haven't encountered many truly capable Super Evolvers in all the time I've been here.
