After another ten hour trek back to the city, they managed to arrive just before the gates were about to close.

Along the way, Xing Ye collected some smelly pieces of broken copper parts and put them at the top of his sack. When it was time for the sack to be inspected, the city official just gave it a glance and let him through, knowing he only ever collected scraps.

One piece worth of primary ore was around the size of half a fist. Xing Ye's sack was enough to store almost a hundred and it was much purer than other primary ore. One piece was almost worth ten normal pieces, so they only needed 5-6 pieces to clear their debts. The rest was all theirs!

After entering the city, Randy wanted to continue following them but Xing Ye interrupted him, "We have to go to Old Nect's to pay him back, it's not convenient to take you."

They clearly showed they wanted to draw a line with Randy. Randy didn't have any excuse to continue following them and left.

When they've finally thrown him off, Xing Ye's group let out a collective sigh of relief.

They didn't immediately go back to Old Nect's place. Instead, they went to Xing Ye's little warehouse to hold a meeting.

Right now, it was already dark and all the shops in the city had already closed their doors. They had to wait until tomorrow if they wanted to spend money.

"Something has to be wrong with that Randy!" Guan Ling said anxiously, "He's a high level player, so he has to have plenty of points and QR codes. Why didn't he use anything in the mines? If he did, he could've taken that heart, but why did he insist on going with us instead?"

"Not taking the heart was the right choice." Xing Ye said, "This isn't like the campus search mission, we can't just take whatever we see. Right now, we know nothing about the plot so acting rashly might bring about an unfavourable result. The most important thing we need to find is the truth speaking puppet. Since that heart doesn't seem to have anything to do with them, we shouldn't add another whole new mystery to our troubles."

Randy's decisiveness in choosing to give up on the heart after a few attempts showed he was a cautious and careful player.

"What do we do next?" Guan Ling asked, "I don't know why, but I feel like the city lord's son didn't just lose the game. I'm kind of scared of Randy- what exactly is his aim?"

"Just do what you should be doing." Xing Ye said, "Focus on investigating the plot, finding the truth speaking puppet, their relationship with Benedict, understand his true final wish, and help him achieve it. We'll probably run into Randy countless times in this world, so just remember to be wary and avoid promising him anything like the city lord's son."

This whole time, there was something the mirror wanted to say but he endured, staring at Xing Ye anxiously. When Randy was brought up, the mirror could no longer stand it and quietly kicked Xing Ye.

A clang sounded, drawing Guan Ling and Cao Qian's attention. It wasn't quiet at all.

Xing Ye wanted to protect the mirror, but one lie would need countless others to maintain. Their first lie had already been poked through. Guan Ling and Cao Qian weren't idiots, so how could they not be suspicious?

"Go ahead and speak." Xing Ye said, "Don't ask me about the copper mirror puppet's identity, I won't say anything. Just remember he's a teammate. Even if I die, he mustn't. That's all."

They just had to get through this world. The next one, the mirror should go back to being a good, quiet cosmetic mirror!

After getting approval, the mirror impatiently started to speak. "I think Randy's a reincarnated player, not a high level player that was sent back!"
