The Frostfire Gathering Point
Lone Brave: A lone warrior who survives through battle. Wearing this title grants an additional 20% bonus upon defeating a target.
"Not bad, 20% is quite a lot."
Xiao Fan decisively chose to wear it.
The fact that the first kill in Magic Beast can activate the Title System is a pleasant surprise.
Just as Jinmao had guessed, Xiao Fan had no intention of returning to rejoin the Zhanfeng Squad after his identity was exposed.
But he still needs to go to the Frostfire Gathering Point. He now has Space Ring that can replenish his supplies for more than half a month at a time, enough for him to reach the Never Setting Sun Gathering Point.
Xiao Fan activated his skill <Thousand-Faced One>, and his body changed, instantly transforming into an ordinary-looking man in his twenties.
This is the Imitation Value he collected from that pile of limbs and remains; it's only about 30%, and can only change appearance, which is perfect for him.
"Jiu Chen, how did you become so ugly?" The large Zijin- gold wings pointed at Xiao Fan, and he said incredulously.
Xiao Fan: "My mother taught me from a young age not to judge a book by its cover."
Zijin: "Aren't you an orphan?"
Xiao Fan:...
This bird is no good; it's stealing his lines!
He was just about to say that he hoped you had a mother too.
It turns out he was the one without a mother!
I can't take it anymore~
Finally, Xiao Fan had Zijin turn back into a little bird and crawl into his pocket, telling her not to come out unless necessary.
After doing all this, Xiao Fan mounted his horse and headed towards the Frostfire Gathering Point.
He had already inquired about the location of the Frostfire Gathering Point with Zhanfeng and his group, so he could go there by himself without any problem.
The sun slowly sank, and a faint, pale light appeared on the snow-covered horizon.
Putting aside the dangers, the twilight in the world of <Cloud Sea> is so beautiful it's breathtaking.
Frostfire Gathering Point is the largest player gathering area in this region, roughly the size of an average village.
The settlement was surrounded by a three-meter-high stone wall, with four exits in the east, west, south, and north directions, allowing everyone to scatter and escape when the horde of Fierce Beast attacked the settlement.
Previously, conditions in human Gathering Point were very rudimentary, consisting mainly of tents and thatched huts. Since the Construction System was implemented, conditions in settlements have improved significantly.
As materials in the Trading House become cheaper, many players don't mind spending some money to create a more comfortable resting environment for themselves.
Now, houses are everywhere in the settlement, and some players have even built shops to sell things.
This type of transaction can save players from the high transaction fees Trading House, and players prefer to trade this way if the distance is short.
Of course, such transactions carry certain risks.
The administrators of the Frostfire Gathering Point also built several main roads here, and the settlement now has a bit of a village feel to it.
"It's getting dark, time to close."
At the East Gate of Frostfire Gathering Point, two players were just about to close the East Gate when a voice came from not far away.
"Brother, wait a moment."
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man running through the snow towards the gathering place in the darkness.
"Let's wait for him."
We've reached this point, missed the Frostfire Gathering Point, and there's no safe zone nearby. It's extremely dangerous to be out in the wild.
To avoid attracting attention, Xiao Fan put Red Hare into his spatial storage a hundred meters away and ran to the Frostfire Gathering Point.
Seeing that the two players had been waiting for him, Xiao Fan gratefully cupped his hands in greeting to them.
"Thank you both, brothers."
"You're welcome, please come in."
The gate to the gathering place closed, and the two players turned to look at Xiao Fan and asked him a question.
"Hey bro, you look a bit unfamiliar. You're not a player from around here, are you?"
Xiao Fan was taken aback. The person he had transformed into wasn't a player from the vicinity either?
What a coincidence!
But that's perfect, at least I don't have to worry about running into acquaintances.
Xiao Fan nodded. "Yeah, I had something to do and just happened to be passing by."
A knowing look flashed in the eyes of the two players, followed by a knowing expression on their faces.
"Brother, you came for that secret realm, right? Don't hide it, everyone knows! The inn at the gathering place is full today; most players are here for that secret realm."
Xiao Fan was taken aback, but after a moment's thought, he understood what had happened.
A secret realm has been discovered near the Frostfire Gathering Point, attracting many players. These two thought they were also there to explore the area.
"What a coincidence? Then I won't explain." Xiao Fan thought to himself, smiling at the two of them.
"Yes, I heard that the secret realm is special, so I wanted to come and see what's going on."
After Xiao Fan finished speaking, the two players showed expressions of "I knew it."
"Why did you come alone? Don't you have a team?" one of the players asked curiously.
Xiao Fan: "Hehe~ Lone wolf player."
"I see."
These two players were both very helpful, and seeing that Xiao Fan was alone, they pointed in a direction behind them and spoke.
"That's the group-up corner in the community. Every morning, Freelance Player gather there to form groups. If you want to explore new areas, you can go there to find teammates."
"Thank you both so much." Xiao Fan said gratefully.
Everyone says the relationships between players on the official server are tense, but it seems that's not the case at all. These two seem to be getting along quite well.
Finally, the two told Xiao Fan that there was no place to stay in the settlement, then sold him a tent for 100 Core Power and told him where there was a place to pitch a tent in the settlement.
"A swindler! A real swindler!"
One tent costs 100 Core Power, equivalent to 100,000 Dragon Nation Currency.
This isn't just a high price, this is an astronomical price!
"As expected, even the best people succumb to the power of the Renminbi."
No wonder the relationships between players are so bad!
Fortunately, this tent isn't a park tent; it's of very good quality. Now that he has Space Ring, he can take it with him, so he won't need to buy one when he goes to the gathering place again.
Only.
I'm out of money, I'm really out of money.
Xiao Fan could only pray that the prices in the settlement wouldn't be too outrageous.
In fact, Xiao Fan's thinking was too simplistic.
"Fifty Core Power in one night?" Xiao Fan's voice rose.
He then discovered that there was an extra charge for pitching a tent!
"Brother, I'm not trying to rip you off. We brothers earn our money through hard work. While you guys are sleeping soundly tonight, we have to stay up all night on duty. Fifty Core Power isn't expensive at all; a hotel room costs 200 Core Power a day."
The man in front of me looked at me with an expression that said, "You don't understand the hardships of life."
Xiao Fan took a deep breath.
No wonder players don't have enough Core Power, the cost of living is just too high!
He'll only stay one night; he'll leave this bloodsucking place tomorrow!
In the end, Xiao Fan still paid the money; fortunately, the service at 50 Core Power was acceptable.
Those people helped him set up his tent and kindly told him where to buy supplies, which made Xiao Fan feel a little better.
The Frostfire Gathering Point was brightly lit and crowded with people; even the tent areas were packed with people.
Xiao Fan thought for a moment and realized that many people here must have come for the secret realm that the two men had mentioned.
Xiao Fan wasn't sure if Zijin could follow him into the secret realm. Without teammates, he decided to abandon the secret realm, buy some supplies, and head to the Never Setting Sun Gathering Point.
