Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Xu Huo returned to the Rose Castle very late. After the previously extinguished lights came back on, Mr. Dong walked out from the door, still holding a small lamp in his hand, "Sir, you’re back. Would you like me to prepare dinner?"

"No need." Xu Huo handed him the coat he had taken off, and added, "This is Mr. Hua Han Werna’s clothing. After cleaning it, find a separate place to store it."

Mr. Dong nodded, and then mentioned Qi Cong’s matter, "He went to rest in his room after dinner, but left shortly after going in."

He didn’t seem like someone who would heed advice. After returning to the study, Xu Huo informed Yan Jiayu of this matter through the Beneath the Dimension. Qi Cong wouldn’t leave until the next day; he must be waiting for her to disembark from the train and enter the game district to determine the location.

After Yan Jiayu replied, he put the matter aside.

Sitting in the study, he began to ponder the perception form of the Time Force that Hua Han Werna had mentioned.

The Time Force cannot change form or alter its flow rate. A Super Evolver merely borrows the Time Force and can do much less with it than with Spatial Power. If one cannot learn to capture the Time Force from the surrounding space and introduce it to their own space, then Temporal Evolution will play a very small role.

Although he successfully began Temporal Evolution, if the direction is wrong, he might indeed take the wrong path.

Many people have undergone Super Evolution in the game, especially in terms of physical evolution, which he encountered way back when he was a Level D Player. However, physical evolution is much more varied compared to spatiotemporal evolution. People like Yan Jiayu are considered among the excellent ones; some Evolvers might just enhance their bodily strength, even just a hand or a foot counts. For such Evolvers, there might not be any big progress even in a year or two. Those who can undergo Secondary Evolution must have some special talents, but so many people make no headway or have minimal achievements, proving the importance of choosing the right direction.

Xu Huo believes that in this vast game world, there must be other Super Evolvers with a Time-directed focus, yet few are renowned for Time-directed Evolution. Super Players are rare, but not uncommon, but those who can consolidate several districts into one are probably few, which signifies that Hua Han Werna surely has his unique qualities.

That’s right, he believes Hua Han Werna is the Super Player of Zone 011.

If Hua Han Werna is confirmed as a player of Zone 011, then some previous small doubts can be explained.

Given that Time-directed Super Evolution of a Super Player is so unique, why doesn’t Zone 011 expand outward as it once did, starting a New Year visiting tradition more than twenty years ago for no apparent reason, with Hua Han Werna personally visiting, despite the Werna Family having a Super Player but not becoming the top family in the district... It’s because Hua Han Werna, this Super Player from Zone 011, doesn’t have much time left, and he hasn’t inherited the bloodline of the Werna Family.

The core members of the Werna Family seen at the New Year’s party were almost all blonde; Hua Han Werna not only has a different hair color but also hasn’t inherited some obvious Werna Family physical traits. Even if he is a distant relative of the Werna Family, the bloodline should be very far removed. A Super Player doesn’t favor the Werna Family just because of a surname; either there’s a rift between them, or Hua Han Werna has his set of principles.

As for the habit suddenly increased from twenty years ago, it’s probably because Hua Han Werna’s life is nearing its end, and he wants to scout a potential Time-directed Super Evolver to become the next Super Player for Zone 011.

Few might know about this, as many Nobles in Zone 011 don’t even know who the Super Player is, but it’s clear the young generation preparing to take over the Werna Family is aware, which is why there’s an emotional reaction when they see Xu Huo obtaining the Black Key.

This is akin to an investment. Since no suitable person has emerged among the local Nobles of Zone 011, they can only look outward, and the quickest way to turn outsiders into insiders is through marriage, thus jointly nurturing a new generation. That’s why the girl from the Werna Family appeared before him that night.

Of course, the investment may fail, and Hua Han Werna isn’t dying tomorrow, so Zone 011 still has time. As one of the chosen targets, Xu Huo is merely an object of observation. Though he has started Temporal Evolution, his strength is far from sufficient.

A family like the Werna Family, which knows a bit about the inside story, certainly won’t trouble him—one, it would be embarrassing; two, if their investment does hit the mark, they might reap unexpected rewards in the future. Instead, it’s some young Nobles outside of them who, not understanding the significance of Xu Huo, a newcomer who seemingly gained a title out of nowhere, appearing at the Werna Family banquet, filled with envy, they seek to make things difficult for him. They don’t genuinely wish to become enemies but wish to tarnish Xu Huo’s reputation a little, to make things difficult for him.

The future and dynamics of Zone 011 are not something Xu Huo alone can influence, nor does he plan on staying long in Zone 011, let alone endeavor for Zone 011’s sake. What he cares about is Temporal Evolution.

The concept of the spatial ray, he heard most from Bai Kou, who taught him the earliest concept of Spatial Evolution. Subsequent evolution proved that this understanding, "Spatial Ray," about the Spatial Power, was correct. Of course, it does not rule out other players having different understandings during evolution, but his Spatial Evolution clearly still leaves room for improvement, indicating the direction he chose wasn’t wrong.

The same goes for Temporal Evolution. He understood the concept of the Time Ray and successfully started evolving. In his perception, the Time Ray is a line with slight fluctuations but generally appears as a straight line. They are not as unregulated as the Spatial Rays but are fixedly crisscrossed to encompass everything in space.

Hua Han Werna hinted at him to overturn his past understanding and reinterpret it. Since one’s thinking is often fixed, it’s hard to break away without external interference, so he told him to make a choice in spatiotemporal evolution. This choice is about deciding whether to get closer to Zone 011 because if he decides to abandon Spatial Evolution, it means accepting Zone 011’s goodwill, and Hua Han Werna would naturally share a new understanding of the Time Force with him, even offering a more navigable path from his experience. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Conversely, it represents his rejection of Zone 011’s goodwill.

Abandoning the already acquired power is very unwise. This is the result of Xu Huo’s talent combined with opportunity, not something others can replicate. Besides, the foundation of Spatial Evolution is very solid. Completely overturning and abandoning it means doubting one’s cognitive abilities. A more suitable approach is to learn from others’ experiences to modify one’s method instead of blindly copying and abandoning personal thinking.
