Say Less, Do More

The Dwarf player, who had tried to disguise himself as a child, saw that he couldn't get away and hurriedly begged for mercy. "I mean no harm. There's a group of players blocking the stairs downstairs, and I couldn't get down, so I thought I'd hitch a ride. I swear I mean you no harm!"

His build was no different from a child's, but his voice was that of an adult. His face was rather ugly, though, and when he lifted his head, he startled the child in Xu Huo's arms into leaning backward.

Xu Huo raised a hand. Thinking he was about to kill him, the Dwarf player dropped to his knees and kowtowed. "Don't kill me! I really don't want to hurt anyone! I have plenty of money—I'll give it all to you, just don't kill me! I can even get you items and Potions through underground channels. Whatever you want!"

"I don't have anywhere to stay right now," Xu Huo said.

"I have houses!" the Dwarf player said excitedly. "I have lots of them. You can stay wherever you want!"

"Do you have one in Galaxy Community?" Xu Huo asked.

"Galaxy Community..." The Dwarf player looked a little reluctant, but quickly gritted his teeth. "Yes! But can you give me two hours to take care of the paperwork?"

Xu Huo checked the time. "Two hours from now?"

The Dwarf player got up from the ground. "I'll make the call right now. Right now..."

Xu Huo led the two of them downstairs. After going down several more floors, they finally found the group of muggers the Dwarf player had mentioned. Judging by their known items, they weren't very high-level players. They were probably hoping to take advantage of the chaos and make a quick score.

It wasn't convenient
