Wind Snow Traveler Leaves

Xiao Fan waited a long time before Zhou He finally accepted his friend request, which was disguised as data.

"I am the only possessor of God-Tier Skill <Cloud Sea>, and I desperately want the clue to the Resurrection Art Spell. What are your conditions?"

Xiao Fan spoke with a mixture of caution and prudence, befitting a novice player who had created God-Tier Skill but kept his ID hidden.

Zhou He watched as a level six novice claimed to possess God-Tier Skill, a chill flashing in his eyes.

"These people would go to such lengths as to have a level six newbie scammer just for Resurrection Art; they really will stop at nothing."

If a level 6 player can create God-Tier Skill, then what does all their years of hard work in the game amount to?

Zhou He slammed his fist on the table, his face grim.

These days, his patience is almost exhausted.

"If I don't resort to some tricks, those players will really think they can cheat me without consequences."

Suddenly, Zhou He sensed something was wrong and his gaze fell on the Level 6 Novice Taichu character on the game interface.

How did this person add me?

There are designated people responsible for contacting those who provide clues about Resurrection Art spells; not everyone can directly reach them.

How did this Taichu know his game ID?

Furthermore, level 6 players should still be in the Novice Village.

Since the Novice Village doesn't show the <Cloud Sea> World Channel, how did this Taichu know they were searching for a God-Tier Skill user?

Zhou He felt something was amiss. After looking at the message from Taichu and thinking for a moment, he replied.

How did you know we were looking for users of God-Tier Skill? And how did you know my game ID?

Upon seeing Zhou He's reply, Xiao Fan slapped his forehead. "I was careless!"

Given Zhou He's status, how could he possibly be the direct contact person in this matter? He was too hasty and didn't consider things carefully.

I've already added everything I could...

Xiao Fan knew that explaining to someone as shrewd as Zhou He would only reveal more, so he simply adopted a fearless demeanor.

"I have my own communication channels, there's no need for me to tell you. Besides, I'm here to negotiate, not to explain anything. I am a master of God-Tier Skill, believe it or not."

"This guy definitely has someone backing him," Zhou He sneered.

How skilled can a novice player be?...

Zhou He paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of someone: Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was also a novice, but apart from his low level, his abilities in all aspects far surpassed those of veteran players.

If this game can have one top genius, why can't it have a second?

Who says that new players are necessarily worse than experienced players?

The secret realm they had struggled to understand for so long was completely analyzed by Xiao Fan simply by listening to his explanation.

This is the talent of top players; you can't argue with that.

After careful calculation, the timing of the appearance of God-Tier Skill is exactly about one month after new players enter the game.

"I've fallen into a fixed mindset again." Zhou He sat back in his chair and looked at the game interface.

Upon closer reflection, even if a novice player Taichu had some powerful backing, how could he dare to deceive me?

"Who exactly is Taichu?" Zhou He tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

A moment later, he sent a message to his subordinates, instructing them to investigate Taichu's information and the forces behind him.

Upon reviewing Taichu's message again, Zhou He became much more serious this time; he intended to negotiate with the other party as if they were possessors of God-Tier Skill.

"We need ten Heaven-Tier Skill books. I can give you the clue to the Resurrection Art."

Xiao Fan almost laughed in anger, "Ten Heaven-Tier Skill books? Why don't you just rob them?"

"There's no way to get here faster than by robbing. Besides, we wouldn't be able to get any anyway," Zhou He said calmly.

Xiao Fan:... What he said makes a lot of sense!

How come he never noticed how ruthless Zhou He was before?

"Three books".

"Eight books".

Five books.

"Yes, but on the condition that the skill book cannot have any usage requirements other than those for weapons."

"OK."

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and agreed.

Trading five Heaven-Tier Skill books for clues to the Resurrection Art wasn't a bad deal, nor was it a bad profit; it was just within his acceptable range.

The two then discussed some details of the transaction.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan mention that the transaction would take place at the Triangle Auction House, Zhou He immediately nodded in agreement.

After agreeing on a time with Zhou He, Xiao Fan hurried off. His time to disguise himself was up.

Two hours later, Xiao Fan automatically switched back to the original information.

With more than two weeks until he returns to reality, he needs to complete the creation of the five Heaven-Tier Skill books for Zhou He within this time.

Fortunately, Zhou He didn't make any other requests besides the usage requirements, so Xiao Fan had plenty of time.

It was already past midnight when he finished all this. Exhausted from the day, Xiao Fan went straight to sleep.

The next morning, Xiao Fan was awakened by a commotion.

He sat up in bed and rubbed his hair.

Hearing faint sobbing sounds coming from outside, Xiao Fan suddenly came to his senses.

"What happened?"

As Xiao Fan stepped out of the room, he saw Wind Snow Traveler standing outside his door, carrying his large axe, with other players from the Novice Village behind him.

Many players had tears in their eyes and looked reluctant to part with the game.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Fan asked, puzzled.

Seeing Xiao Fan come out, Wind Snow Traveler strode over. "Jiu Chen, you're awake. I happen to have something to discuss with you."

Wind Snow Traveler smiled broadly, but Xiao Fan felt that something was off.

What's the matter that warrants such a large-scale battle?

Xiao Fan glanced at Wind Snow Traveler, then at the other players behind him.

What were these people hiding from him?

"Brother Chen, the Village Chief is leaving Zone 18," the fat man said with a droopy face.

"What?" Xiao Fan was shocked and turned to look at Wind Snow Traveler in disbelief.

A slight smile played on Wind Snow Traveler's lips as he patted Xiao Fan's shoulder, "I didn't want to leave the Novice Village so early, but I have no choice. I have important matters to attend to, so I have to go this time."

After saying these words, Wind Snow Traveler felt very bad.

He had endured four years of hardship in Zone 18, and seeing how things were improving, he could have stayed longer, but now he had no choice but to leave.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan remained silent.

The fact that Wind Snow Traveler said this proves that he has to leave, and there's no point in trying to persuade him to stay.

Why.

Xiao Fan sighed inwardly. Wind Snow Traveler was the first person he met in the game, and now that they had to part ways, he felt a little reluctant.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wind Snow Traveler smiled and shook his head, "No need, I can handle it, I just need to leave Zone 18."

"If you ever need any help in the future, feel free to contact me as a friend," Xiao Fan said.

Having spent so much time together, and with Wind Snow Traveler having helped him a lot, the two had developed a certain level of friendship.

"Okay, you're the number one genius in our Zone 18, I'll definitely come to you if I need anything."

Wind Snow Traveler said in a relaxed tone, "Please bear with Zone 18."

Xiao Fan nodded. "Don't worry, I'm from Zone 18 too."

"Village Chief."

The players, including Blade Shadow, who had spent more time with Wind Snow Traveler, all had red eyes at this moment.

"What are you all crying about? It's a good thing I'm leaving the Novice Zone. Do you all want me to stay Novice Zone forever? You'll all be leaving eventually."

What Wind Snow Traveler said is true. Which player wants to stay in the Novice Zone forever? Leaving is inevitable. It's just that because of the special circumstances of the Zone 18, players stay here longer.

"It's getting late, I have to go."

"I hope we'll meet again someday."

Once a player reaches level 20, they will be automatically excluded from the Novice Zone.

Everyone watched as Wind Snow Traveler's figure disappeared beneath the newly built city wall.
