A High-Stakes Gamble

The Judge Young Master turned around and walked up to Xiao Fan, looking him up and down with a disdainful tone.

"You say you're a professional dungeon commander?"

"That's right." Xiao Fan put his hands in his pockets, raised an eyebrow, and met the eyes of the Judge Young Master.

"That's hilarious!" Judge Young Master scoffed. "Kid, do you even know the status of a professional dungeon commander among players? Do you think a dungeon commander would come around Recruitment Corner looking for teams? Let me tell you, if a commander dares to make such a claim, countless powerful teams would be willing to woo him. You'd better do your research before trying to fool people."

The Judge Young Master's words brought many people present to their senses.

Yes, what kind of status does a commander have? A professional commander would never lack a team, so how could they possibly Recruitment Corner?

"This kid will lie about anything to get into the team. If we let him in, he'll give random orders in the dungeon, and we might not even clear it, we might lose our lives. Luckily, Judge Young Master reminded us."

The players who had been surrounding Xiao Fan just moments before scattered in an instant.

Xiao Fan cursed inwardly. He had finally found someone to team up with, and this bastard had to come and ruin his plans.

"Professional commanders won't come to Recruitment Corner? According to you, aren't you a fraud yourself? After all, you don't Recruitment Corner anymore, do you?"

"What nonsense are you spouting, brat? Everyone in Frostfire Gathering Point knows my identity Judge Young Master, how could I possibly be a fraud?"

The Judge Young Master was furious, not expecting Xiao Fan to launch a boomerang-like attack.

"I'm talking nonsense? Didn't you say that yourself? Professional commanders don't come to Recruitment Corner. Besides, if a commander that everyone knows has to come to Recruitment Corner to find a team, your problem seems bigger."

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes and said.

Upon hearing this, many regular players in the Frostfire Gathering Point turned their faces away.

The Judge Young Master does have a lot of problems, but they don't have much to do with his position as commander.

"You! Do you know who my master is? Yu Feiyu, the number one commander of the Never Setting Sun Gathering Point! Do you know who my grandmaster is? It's Lord Luo Ye, the number two commander Falling Leaf Pavilion the Shen Sect, recognized throughout the entire Dragon Nation!"

Being able to become Falling Leaf Pavilion -disciple is the proudest thing for the Judge Young Master. He mentions this identity in public every now and then.

"Good heavens, so they're from the enemy's side. No wonder they're so unpleasant to look at."

Xiao Fan's expression darkened.

Wow! The Judge Young Master is actually Falling Leaf Pavilion -disciple! How amazing!

"So you're Yu Feiyu's disciple. Yu Feiyu's command skills are quite strong."

"Of course. Falling Leaf Pavilion is always strict when it comes to accepting disciples, and every one of his disciples is very strong. As a disciple of a disciple, Judge Young Master's command ability should also be quite good."

Although some outside players had never heard of the name "Judge Young Master," they had heard of Lord Falling Leaf Pavilion, the second-largest commander in the country, and Yu Feiyu, the first commander of the medium-to-large-sized settlement, the "Never Setting Sun" settlement.

For a moment, all eyes turned to the Judge Young Master with envy.

The Judge Young Master thoroughly enjoyed the attention he received. He looked at Xiao Fan smugly and noticed that Xiao Fan's expression suddenly turned ugly. He assumed that Xiao Fan was acting this way because he had exposed Xiao Fan's identity, which made him even more smug.

"Young man, may I ask who your master is?" The Judge Young Master looked at Xiao Fan with a mocking expression.

If you're going to humiliate someone, then you must humiliate them to the very end.

This is the only way to highlight his noble status as a commander!

Xiao Fan doesn't have a master at all; all his commands were learned from playing online games in his previous life.

But given the current situation, if he dared to say that, he would only invite more ridicule.

"Let me ask you a question: Who is the undisputed number one commander in the Dragon Nation?"

Xiao Fan suddenly asked a question, and the Judge Young Master was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha, who doesn't know that the undisputed number one commander in our Dragon Nation is His Excellency Zhou He of the Military District? You wouldn't be thinking of saying your master is His Excellency Zhou He, would you? Kid, I advise you to know when to stop lying."

"No, that's not it." Xiao Fan quickly waved his hand.

Seeing this Judge Young Master snorted coldly, "You're lucky you know what's good for you..."

"I should be his master," Xiao Fan continued.

Judge Young Master:...

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

This kid is a real braggart; he's even more daring than him!

He only dared to say that he was the disciple of the disciple of the second commander Falling Leaf Pavilion, but this kid directly said that he was the master of the first commander, Zhou He.

Damn it! I was too conservative!

After a brief silence, the surrounding players burst into laughter upon hearing Xiao Fan's words.

"This is hilarious! Zhou He's master, this little liar has really stopped pretending."

"It's good to have a mouth; you can just say whatever you want. I could even say I'm Zhou He's grandmaster."

"Don't tell me, really don't tell me, this kid has logic. Lord Zhou He never takes on disciples, yet he directly claims to be Lord Zhou He's master. His lying logic is flawless."

"Haha, that's the funniest joke I've heard since I started playing the game! Master Zhou He, you really dare to say that!"

Xiao Fan was speechless; he hadn't lied either.

Ever since he remotely guided Zhou He and his team through the level 80 dungeon, Zhou He has frequently consulted him about dungeons and command strategies. He has been generous with his knowledge, answering every question.

Zhou He asked to become his mentor as a conductor, but he refused.

There's nothing wrong with him saying that, is there?

The Judge Young Master laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up.

"Haha, Lord Zhou He is already the number one commander in the Dragon Nation. You are his master, so wouldn't you be the number one commander in the world?"

Xiao Fan nodded. "If that's how you put it, then there's no problem."

Given the level of gaming on Blue Star, it's not impossible for him to be number one in command.

The Judge Young Master suddenly stopped laughing, "Kid, let me give you a piece of advice: trying to fool people into thinking you're the commander isn't that easy."

"Thanks for the reminder, but unfortunately I'm not a scammer," Xiao Fan said in a deep voice.

"Fine, fine, fine!" The Judge Young Master almost laughed in anger when he saw that Xiao Fan still wouldn't admit he was a liar even after all this.

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Xiao Fan before speaking.

"Since you claim to be a professional commander, how about you make a bet with me?"

"What are we betting on?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

"How about we bet on who gets the first clear of the Death Cliff Secret Realm? Whoever leads the team to the first clear of the Death Cliff Secret Realm wins," said the Judge Young Master.

"Sure, but since we're betting, there has to be a stake. One million Core Power. If you win, I'll give you one million; if you lose, you have to give me one million Core Power. How about that?"

Xiao Fan is currently very poor; he doesn't even have enough Core Power to level up his skill to level 30, so he might as well take this opportunity to make a quick buck.

"One million? Why don't you just rob someone?" the Judge Young Master's voice rose.

"What? Aren't you a professional commander? You don't even have a million? Besides, didn't you say I'm a swindler? Are you afraid you can't beat a swindler like me?"

Provoked by Xiao Fan's words, the Judge Young Master immediately made a decision.

"Fine! One million it is."
