Chapter 19 Prison Break

Silence reigned at the edge of the forest. Water Flower, having finished dealing with the situation, emerged from the trees and waved to Han Family Young Master, signaling that it was over.

Han Family Young Master nodded, then looked at the other three, who were also watching him.

"What are you looking at me for? Go do what you need to do." Han Family Young Master waved his hand dismissively.

The others dispersed. Han Family Young Master felt his pockets, finding several bottles of wine still there. He then sent a message to Oathless Sword as he walked towards the dungeon, "Gather everyone, we're moving on to the next stop right now."

"What's up?" Oathless Sword asked.

"Their boss is going to be in jail for ten hours. If we don't take this opportunity to leave, do you want to keep tangling with them in the forest tomorrow?" Han Family Young Master said.

Oathless Sword's eyes lit up. Capturing the leader was a classic tactic, but in online games, it was less practical because characters couldn't truly die and could communicate with friends at any time. However, throwing the opponent into a dungeon completely cut off communication, making this classic tactic viable again.

"Ten hours is a long time, no rush. Let's wait for the people from White Stone City to arrive!" Oathless Sword said. Some of the mercenary players who had been sacrificed along the way back to White Stone City had decided to quit the mission, but others were determined to continue and were rushing to Linyin City to join everyone.

"It's better to hurry. Don't forget about visitation rights. He still has ways to remotely command, though it will be more troublesome," Han Family Young Master said.

"You're right, but we don't have many people right now, even if they don't have Water Flower..." Oathless Sword still had concerns.

"Both sides are in the same situation. We have people resting and logging off, and so do they. We won't have a big difference in numbers. Seizing the opportunity while Water Flower is out is key. You should hurry, opportunities are fleeting," Han Family Young Master said.

Oathless Sword knew that dithering was the enemy in a battle. The situation was already bad, how much worse could it get? With that thought, Oathless Sword gritted his teeth, determined to seize this opportunity. He immediately called all online guild members and notified the mercenary captains to prepare to gather and set off.

Oathless Sword was a big boss himself, so Han Family Young Master didn't need to teach him everything step by step. After helping him make up his mind to set off immediately, Han Family Young Master was the first to arrive outside the dungeon. After paying a considerable visitation fee, he entered.

There weren't many players who insisted on sitting in jail late at night, and most of them were sleeping, probably trying to make up for real-world sleep in the game and get through the painful jail term. The game officials didn't approve of this method. According to them, although there was sleep in the game, and it did put the brain into a sleeping state, it didn't help with physical fatigue recovery, because the sleeping posture in the game was simulated, and the real posture of the human body depended on reality.

Therefore, waking up from sleep in the game often resulted in backaches, neck pains, and cramps. This feeling wasn't simulated, but rather a signal from the real body. This real body sensation wouldn't be weakened in the slightest during game simulation. The game company didn't want a situation where a fire broke out in a player's home, and the player, weakened by the pain, mistakenly thought they were being attacked by a mage and ended up burning to death in real life.

Regarding sleep, some people asked if they could just connect the device and lie down on the bed to play.

The official response was: This was non-standard use of the game device, and the company wouldn't be responsible for any damage. So all the players preferred backaches and neck pains to risking damaging the game device. This real-world equipment was 100 times better than the most top-notch equipment in the game.

After looking through the cells at these players slumped in various positions, Han Family Young Master finally saw Water Flower in a certain cell. He was alone, lying in the corner of the cell, with his back to the outside.

"Hey, contemplating your sins?" Han Family Young Master said, knocking on the cell door.

Water Flower slowly turned around, his face green. He glared and said, "You bastard, you have the nerve to come here."

Han Family Young Master smiled cheekily, "Why not? You should know I like you best in this state."

Water Flower gritted his teeth, gnashed his teeth, and his knuckles cracked as he clenched his fist, "You wait, I'll make you regret it when I get out."

Han Family Young Master laughed and suddenly threw a bottle of wine into the cell.

The throw was skillful. If Water Flower didn't dodge, it would definitely explode on his head; if he dodged, the bottle would shatter against the wall behind him, splashing him all over, and the flying shards might still explode on his head. So, reluctantly, he could only reach out and catch it.

"Damn, Two-Zero-Zero, you're really rich." Water Flower caught the wine and wanted to throw it away, but couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after seeing it clearly. Even Water Flower might not waste money on such expensive wine in the game. Drinking in the game had absolutely no practical benefit.

Han Family Young Master ignored the outburst and continued, "You'll be out in ten hours. Too bad I don't know where I'll be by then. Speaking of which, your mission is only limited to the Linyin City area, right? Do you know which main city we'll be going to next?"

"Is that it? So you planned to get me jailed and then use this opportunity to escape..." Water Flower said.

Unexpectedly, Han Family Young Master sighed deeply, "I wish that were the case. That would be a wonderful plan. But unfortunately, this was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. Those guys chasing us weren't my arrangement. But in the process, you were honored to receive PK points, so in an instant, I had this great idea. Come on, let's have one for this idea!"

Water Flower still had a dark face and didn't speak. He could only vent his anger on the wine, raising it and taking a big gulp. His expression and actions clearly conveyed the message to Han Family Young Master: he was just drinking by himself, definitely not toasting with him.

Water Flower's PK points were earned to help Han Family Young Master, everyone knew that. But he wouldn't say it. Saying such things to Han Family Young Master would feel affected to him, and it wouldn't make Han Family Young Master feel guilty. He'd probably be scolded for not distinguishing between public and private, for having unclear positions, and for being a little confused at crucial moments.

Damn it, was this confusion? It was just that his conscience was too good. As soon as he saw someone killing him, he didn't think much and helped him. Who was like this guy, remembering everything at the same time, always being cautious.

Water Flower was conducting a simulated dialogue in his mind, and it was well-reasoned.

"Don't be smug." In fact, Water Flower said, "Even though I'm in jail, my brothers aren't that easy to deal with."

Han Family Young Master smiled, "You should know best how capable your own brothers are."

Water Flower was silent, and involuntarily took another gulp of the wine in his hand. His brothers… if there were any stronger than him, why would he be the boss?

"Alright, that's about it, I'm leaving," Han Family Young Master said.

"I sincerely wish you a quick death and early reincarnation," Water Flower said.

"Impossible, you haven't died, you're just in jail, how could I die?" Han Family Young Master laughed, "How do you feel now?"

"What do you mean, how?"

"Are you dizzy?" Han Family Young Master asked.

"You? You drugged the wine?" After Han Family Young Master said that, Water Flower did feel a little dizzy.

"Just kidding, there's no such drug in the game," Han Family Young Master smiled, "It's just that this wine is the strongest type right now. Using your Two-Zero-Zero naming method, you should call it One-Seven-Zero."

"This isn't Two-Zero-Zero?" Water Flower stared at the wine bottle.

"Who said that wine in a Two-Zero-Zero bottle must also be Two-Zero-Zero? Alright, stop talking nonsense, go to sleep!" Han Family Young Master waved his hand.

"You bastard…" Water Flower mumbled those words, his legs weakened and he fell to the ground. The wine bottle fell from his hand, but didn't break. The wine gurgled out, with about half a bottle left inside.

"You've really improved if you can drink half a bottle." In a daze, Water Flower heard Han Family Young Master tut-tutting at him, then saw him take a bag from his pocket and throw it in, "Let's count all the income from this time as yours, take it, I won't care if it gets taken by someone else."

After saying that, Han Family Young Master strode away. Water Flower vaguely wanted to see what he had thrown in, but his brain, stimulated by the simulated alcohol, was too muddled. Finally, he flopped over and fell asleep.

When Han Family Young Master walked out of the dungeon, he saw several people rushing into the dungeon. He intentionally moved aside and hid his face. The light in the dungeon wasn't good to begin with, and the people were anxious and didn't notice the other visitor. They rushed past in a hurry. As Han Family Young Master left the dungeon, he heard the anxious voices of several people, "Water Flower, don't sleep, wake up, they seem to be leaving!"

But there was no way Water Flower could hear them. These guys couldn't reach him, so they could only take some useless things from their pockets and throw them, but they couldn't wake him up no matter what. Their shouting woke up the other sleeping players.

It was already difficult to fall asleep in the game, and these people wanted to spend their long jail term by closing their eyes and opening them again, but they were awakened by these guys, and they were naturally upset. The cells were filled with curses. Unable to fight, the two sides could only engage in verbal disputes.

Outside the dungeon, the players from Cloud End City were gathering. Oathless Sword was surprised to see Han Family Young Master coming out of the dungeon.

"Let's get going!" Han Family Young Master said.

"Leading people will definitely expose us." Oathless Sword warily looked around, not knowing where Water Flower's eyes were hiding. "Water Flower might already know, and he'll probably make a plan. While he can't spread the word, let's go quickly."

"Hehe, there's no need to be so anxious. For about half an hour, Water Flower won't be able to issue any instructions," Han Family Young Master said.

"How so?" Oathless Sword asked in surprise.

"He's drunk," Han Family Young Master said calmly.
