64: The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

"Liu Shihhan, I don't get it."

"Your family clearly isn't short on money, and you've already secured a recommendation spot."

"Why are you still thinking about the restricted zone?"

It was night.

Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan arrived at the entrance of Nine Warehouse, and he asked with great confusion.

Earlier, while eating at Lu Xueqing's house, Liu Shihhan had asked Xiao Yun about the knife-running mentality.

However, Xiao Yun didn't explain it to her at the time, thinking it was all insignificant stuff.

Unexpectedly, Miss Liu was exceptionally persistent, insisting that he teach her.

So, after they finished eating, the two of them came to the restricted zone entrance of Nine Warehouse.

Meanwhile, Lu Xueqing was tidying up at home, and hearing that she still had to visit her grandmother at the hospital that night, she didn't come along.

"What are you talking about? I didn't come to the restricted zone just for the recommendation qualification."

Liu Shihhan said.

In the time since he last saw her, she had changed her outfit again.

Black high-waisted wide-leg trousers, a loose, pleated white shirt, paired with slightly curled black long hair, made her look somewhat mature.

The only constant was the large black bow at her collar.

Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh, rich people really have it good, so many beautiful clothes every day.

"You're not here for the recommendation qualification, so is it for passion?"

Xiao Yun asked, puzzled.

His words originally carried a hint of sarcasm.

After all, for the people of this world, entering the restricted zone is truly playing with your life!

Although revival is possible, the pain suffered within the restricted zone is unavoidable.

One careless mistake could leave permanent, incurable psychological trauma.

It's like foreigners coming to Dragon Country, who might have an emergency response just hearing the sound of fireworks, greatly affecting their life and work.

However, what Xiao Yun didn't expect was that Liu Shihhan nodded in agreement.

"You could say that. I do like the feeling of the restricted zone."

"...Alright then."

Xiao Yun didn't dwell on this issue.

From his perspective, this Miss Liu was completely here to seek thrills in the restricted zone.

Xiao Yun didn't find it appropriate to say much about this mindset.

Every registered GTI operative who chooses to enter the restricted zone has their own different reasons.

And Xiao Yun's goal was very simple: to run knives and make money!

"Let's go. It looks like there are a lot of people now. Let's go in and see if the drop rate will increase a bit."

Most operatives work during the day and run knives in the restricted zone as a part-time job at night.

Therefore, even though it was already dark, there were more people in the restricted zone than in the afternoon.

This was good information for Xiao Yun.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

The more people in the restricted zone, the higher the drop rate.

So, after everything was ready, Xiao Yun took Liu Shihhan into the restricted zone.

And not long after the two of them entered.

Li Wenzhe's figure slowly appeared at the entrance of Nine Warehouse.

"Hey, Jiang Kexin, are you sure you can help me extract with five hundred thousand?"

He didn't bring his two escorts this time.

Instead, he brought a young girl dressed in a Western noble school uniform with short, shoulder-length hair.

This girl had an outstanding temperament, especially her beautiful peach blossom eyes, which, paired with a tear mole at the corner of her eye, made her look very distinctive.

The only regret was her height; she looked to be around 1.5 meters tall.

Compared to the 1.8-meter-tall Li Wenzhe next to her, although they were only one year apart in age, Jiang Kexin looked like an elementary school student.

"Don't worry, don't worry. On the Dam No. 0 map, I've extracted with millions by myself in Lighthouse Country."

"Not to mention here in Haibei City, no one is my opponent."

"The reason your two escorts failed is because their playstyle was too aggressive."

Jiang Kexin analyzed eloquently.

"What do you know! You don't know who your brother met today!... Forget it, you go on."

Li Wenzhe sighed.

He originally wanted to tell Jiang Kexin about Xiao Yun, but then he thought there was no need.

If he said he couldn't beat a classmate, wouldn't that make him seem useless?

Moreover, by his reckoning, Li Wenzhe hadn't seen Xiao Yun for half a day.

He estimated that Xiao Yun had already earned enough to extract 500,000 and had retreated early.

"Then I'll tell you."

Jiang Kexin pulled out a green lollipop from her pocket, tore open the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.

"You say that people who come to Haibei City to run knives don't bring much money's worth of equipment on them. On average, each person has at most thirty thousand in combat gear."

"You guys start with tier five sets, tier four sets, and the tier three bullets you use won't even cover the cost."

"Let alone wanting to extract with five hundred thousand by killing people. Firstly, the amount of supplies you can bring out is limited. Secondly, killing ten people would at most get you three hundred thousand."

"Searching for high-value supplies and gambling on luck is the correct approach."

Hearing this, Li Wenzhe also fell silent.

If it were anyone else saying this, his rebellious nature would definitely not consider right or wrong at all, and he would open his mouth to refute immediately.

But the person in front of him was his younger sister, Jiang Kexin.

She had been a genius since childhood, learning everything quickly, and her understanding of the restricted zone was extraordinary.

Her family also considered this point, which is why they sent her to study abroad in Lighthouse Country.

After all, in Lighthouse Country, in the capital Los Santos, anyone over 16 years old can enter the restricted zone, which is two years earlier than in Dragon Country.

In some regions, people can even enter the restricted zone at 14 or 12 years old.

And in these two years in Lighthouse Country, Jiang Kexin's rank even reached the Diamond Level, just like the two escorts!

She was even Diamond 3, a bit higher than the two escorts.

Originally, Li Wenzhe's family had been looking forward to the emergence of such a genius in the restricted zone.

Grandpa Li Lei placed his hopes on his descendants, hoping someone could lead the Li family to greater glory.

However.

Even though Jiang Kexin was so excellent, this expectation would not fall upon her.

After all, her surname was Jiang, and she was also a woman.

Although Li Wenzhe's parents didn't think this way, everyone in the family and the group, including the old man, thought so.

"Alright, stop dawdling. Let's enter the map."

Jiang Kexin seemed to sense what Li Wenzhe was thinking, and her expression instantly became a little displeased.

She crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes, and strode towards the restricted zone.

...

"You have entered Dam No. 0!"

"Current Location: Dam No. 0 - Northwest of Substation."

"Current Drop Rate: Normal"

"Current Game End Time: 26 minutes 49 seconds"

"Hint: Please complete extraction before time runs out!"

Entering the restricted zone.

Xiao Yun looked around. It was a good location.

In front was the Administrative District, and behind was the Substation.

Whether going to the Administrative Building or the Substation, this was a prime position.

However.

Since they didn't enter the map immediately this round, it couldn't be ruled out that someone had already entered these two high-resource locations.

"Alright, Xiao Yun, can you tell me now?"

Liu Shihhan asked curiously as soon as they arrived.

It was clear that she was very curious about the knife-running mentality Lu Xueqing had mentioned.

"Alright, then I'll make a long story short."

Xiao Yun slowly walked towards the Substation, speaking as he went.

"The most important ability in the restricted zone is the ability to process information."

"What do you mean?"

"For example... look over there."

Xiao Yun said, pointing to the northwest entrance of the Substation.

There was a guard booth there, and an Asala Soldier was patrolling the area.

"There's a soldier here. What does that mean?"

"It means... let me think."

Liu Shihhan stroked her chin, her delicate brows furrowed in thought.

"What can it mean? Doesn't it just mean there's a soldier here?"

"Wrong!"

Xiao Yun threw a data knife, and the Machine Bro on guard immediately got his lunchbox.

"It means that in this match, no one has entered through this entrance, otherwise, either he would be dead, or this Asala Soldier."

Xiao Yun explained calmly.

"Oh! Now that you say that, I think I understand a little..."

No sooner had Liu Shihhan spoken than Xiao Yun had already put on Machine Bro's tattered equipment, then threw an M870 shotgun to her.

At the same time, gunshots also came from the Administrative Building.

"Okay, then I ask you, gunshots are ringing out in the Administrative Building now. What does that mean?"
