Cross-Regional Challenge

"Damn it, that idiot can actually come through the internet cable to beat me up..."

Nan Feng was stunned. This Primordial World actually had a feature like this.

How were keyboard warriors supposed to survive now?

This was way too unfriendly!

Just then, a new notification suddenly popped up on Nan Feng's panel: "Su Ziran has invited you to join the Handsome Men Group. Accept?"

Uh... how could they form group chats too? When had this become a new feature...?

Nan Feng scratched his head and tapped accept.

Ding! Nan Feng has joined the group chat.

Nan Feng glanced at the group members. They were all the people who had participated in the mine exploration that afternoon.

Huang Yuanming: "@Nan Feng, brother, you finally showed up. I thought you died halfway there."

Nan Feng: "Pah, you're the one who died halfway there."

Huang Yuanming: "You hadn't said a word for ages. You didn't even reply when I sent you private messages."

Nan Feng: "I just got home. I haven't even had time to warm my seat."

Nan Feng: "So what's going on now? Someone fill me in—I'm still a little confused."

Su Ziran: "I'll explain."

Nan Feng wolfed down the roasted meat in his hand and focused seriously on the messages in the group.

Su Ziran: "Do you know that Sakura Kojiro is challenging you?"

Nan Feng: "More or less... But how did you all find out that I insulted him? Don't you need to be Level 5 to enter the Cross-Regional Chat Channel?"

Wu Yuansheng: "You need to be Level 5 to speak, but we can still go in and watch other people chat."

So that was how it worked... Nan Feng suddenly understood.

Su Ziran: "I heard from a Dragon Country native named Cheng Mo in District 68 that every district has a Cross-Region Challenge Token, but it can only drop from Lord-tier ferocious beasts above Level 5."

Su Ziran: "Sakura Kojiro happened to obtain a Cross-Region Challenge Token today. He spent the whole afternoon looking for easy targets. You insulted him just now, so he set his sights on you."

Nan Feng: "Damn, am I really this unlucky?"

Su Ziran: "Actually, insulting him wasn't the main reason. According to Chosen Ones from other districts, whether we provoked him or not, Sakura Kojiro would have challenged the last district today."

Su Ziran: "Because the last district basically represents the weakest strength. It would be easier for him to win the challenge and obtain resources."

Nan Feng understood. Reaching Level 5 before nightfall had happened at a rather unfortunate time.

If he had waited until tomorrow to reach Level 5, Sakura Kojiro would have challenged District 526 tonight.

Xu Ming: "I was lurking in the Cross-Regional Chat Channel just now and found several useful pieces of information: 1. Sakura Kojiro's District 132 entered the cross-regional area yesterday afternoon, more than a day earlier than us."

Xu Ming: "2. Sakura Kojiro himself is already Level 6. His Destined Divine Weapon is a Katana, and he should have a very powerful offensive skill, though no one knows what it is."

Xu Ming: "3. Sakura Kojiro soloed a Level 5 Lord-tier ferocious beast this morning."

Seeing those three pieces of information, Nan Feng immediately frowned.

Sakura Kojiro was pretty strong. He could actually solo a Level 5 Lord-tier ferocious beast!

Nan Feng had never seen a Level 5 Lord-tier ferocious beast, but he had seen a Level 6 Lord-tier ferocious beast—the Cave Spider King!

That thing had 420 Attack Power and 2,800 Health Points. At his current stage, Nan Feng had no chance of defeating it.

Though a Level 5 Lord-tier ferocious beast was weaker than the Cave Spider King, it would not be much weaker.

Compared like that, Nan Feng seemed to have no chance of winning at all.

Taking a deep breath, Nan Feng sent a message: "When is he planning to challenge me?"

Su Ziran: "Cross-Region Challenge Tokens can only be used during the day. He'll probably challenge you first thing tomorrow morning."

Tomorrow morning...

That meant Nan Feng had no time left to improve his strength.

He could only face Sakura Kojiro in his current state.

Su Yihan: "Nan Feng, are you confident?"

Nan Feng: "Huh? You're here too, healer? Isn't this the Handsome Men Group? What are you doing here?"

Su Yihan: "Don't call me healer."

Nan Feng: "Then... healer dad?"

Su Yihan: "Get lost."

Nan Feng did not directly answer Su Yihan's question and merely traded a few jabs with her.

Nan Feng had some confidence, but not much.

In tomorrow's battle against Sakura Kojiro, Nan Feng's only advantage was the Desert Eagle.

The Desert Eagle's exceptionally long attack range would be the key to whether Nan Feng could win!

"The first shot is crucial. It has to hit!"

After thinking over tomorrow's battle plan, Nan Feng had a clear idea of what to do.

In the Handsome Men Group:

Nan Feng: "Don't worry, bros. I'll do my best tomorrow."

Wu Li: "Go for it. Fuck them up."

Wu Yuansheng: "That's right, smash that little Sakura's dog head."

Su Yihan: "Good luck."

Everyone in the group encouraged Nan Feng. No one blamed him over this matter.

Because they all knew it wasn't Nan Feng's fault. If anyone had reached Level 5 today, they would have been challenged by Sakura Kojiro.

Rather than complain, it was better to support him.

Nan Feng closed the Handsome Men Group and checked the Chat Channel.

The place was in a fierce argument. Some supported Nan Feng, while others cursed him.

Most of them blamed Nan Feng, believing that his personal actions had caused things to turn out this way.

After all, there were only a few people who could see through appearances to the true nature of things.

Nan Feng ignored them, closed the Chat Channel, and went through all his private messages.

Among them, Xiao Luo had sent Nan Feng five portions of Fragrant Roasted Meat, along with a message.

Xiao Luo: "They're for you."

Nan Feng accepted the roasted meat and replied, "Thanks."

Besides that, You Ran had sent him one Greater Might Herb.

You Ran: "I'll trade you one Greater Might Herb for ten mana potions. You can owe me for now."

You Ran: "If you don't pay me back, you're a puppy."

This was fucking forced buying and selling...

What a thug.

Nan Feng chuckled and shook his head, accepting the Greater Might Herb You Ran had sent.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Feng still replied, "Watch your big brother knock that guy's head crooked tomorrow."

You Ran replied instantly, "Good luck!"

She was a girl who liked using emoticons. Cute.

After replying to all his other friends, Nan Feng decisively closed the panel and took out the Greater Might Herb he had just obtained.

Greater Might Herb: After consumption, increases a Chosen One's Strength by +4. (Note: Each Chosen One may consume a maximum of two. Consuming more has no effect.)

Well damn, this was the daddy of the Might Herb.

Nan Feng directly ate the Greater Might Herb raw, gaining another 4 points of Strength.

After thinking about it, Nan Feng also put all 5 free attribute points he had received for reaching Level 5 into Strength.

What he wanted was explosive damage!

After checking his Attributes, Nan Feng's Strength had already reached 77, and his Attack Power was 385—almost enough to catch up to the Cave Spider King.

As long as Nan Feng landed one or two shots first, it wouldn't matter even if Sakura Kojiro was Level 6. He would still lose.

This sky-high Attack Power gave Nan Feng several more points of confidence.

"Awwooo!"

"Roar!"

Just like the previous two nights, the roars of ferocious beasts outside the Wooden Cabin arrived right on schedule.

Nan Feng walked to the window and carefully observed for a while.

Shadows wandered everywhere outside, moving as fast as ghosts. Nan Feng couldn't make out what kind of ferocious beasts they were.

Pulling his head back, Nan Feng didn't dare watch for too long, afraid of drawing the hatred of the beasts outside.

The Wooden Cabin was not invincible. It had health too.

Nan Feng had no doubt that the ferocious beasts outside were capable of tearing down his Wooden Cabin.

After closing the window, Nan Feng poured the two large barrels of fresh water Huang Yuanming had sent into the purification device and let it purify them slowly.

Late at night, Nan Feng fell into a deep sleep amid the roars outside.

Tomorrow, a fierce battle awaited him.
