Joining the Zhanfeng Squad
A bet of one million Core Power is definitely a high-stakes gamble.
It's clear that both of them are very confident about this bet.
Xiao Fan was confident in his command abilities, and so was the Judge Young Master.
"Kid, I can enter the secret realm at the same time as you, so you won't have any excuses if you lose. But... it seems you don't even have a team right now." Judge Young Master had a look of amusement on his face.
He didn't believe that after what had just happened, any team would still be willing to team up with Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan's expression darkened slightly.
His command skills are genuine, but others can't see that. How can he get people to team up with him?
"Hahaha, you kid, you won't even be able to find a team in the end, will you? If all else fails, just give me your Core Power, and I'll give you a 9.9% discount, how about that?" Judge Young Master looked at Xiao Fan with a mocking expression.
The Tiger Roar Squad members behind him also burst into exaggerated laughter.
Just then, a voice came from behind.
"If this guy doesn't mind, he can join our team."
Everyone turned around and discovered that the person who spoke was Zhanfeng.
The Judge Young Master's face instantly darkened. He had just volunteered to join the Zhanfeng Squad, but was refused.
Now Zhanfeng is actively inviting this liar to join the team, which is practically a slap in the face for him!
"Zhanfeng, what do you mean?" Judge Young Master questioned sharply.
"It's nothing special. This guy is a new type of Healer Class player. Although his level and equipment aren't great, given his status as a dungeon commander, it's an honor for us to have him in our team."
"Zhanfeng, you don't actually believe this little liar, do you?" Judge Young Master sneered.
"Whether he's a fraud or not, I have my own judgment; there's no need for Judge Young Master to remind me." Zhanfeng's tone also became impolite.
To be honest, he wasn't sure if Xiao Fan was a fraud, but he believed no one would joke about a million Core Power.
There's at least a 50% chance that Xiao Fan is the commander of the secret realm.
That's enough!
The Zhanfeng Squad and the Tiger Roar Squad have recently been vying for a piece of territory in the settlement. If nothing unexpected happens, the team ranked higher will gain control of that territory.
The team rankings are mainly based on overall strength and the number of dungeons cleared.
The competition between them and the Tiger Roar Squad has now reached a fever pitch. With a secret realm commander like Judge Young Master in charge of the Tiger Roar Squad, they can't afford to fall behind.
Currently, apart from Xiao Fan, there are no other secret realm commanders in the Frostfire Gathering Point.
Zhanfeng had no other choice but to trust Xiao Fan.
If Xiao Fan is the commander of the secret realm, then they can compete with the Tiger Roar Squad for the first clear of the secret realm.
If Xiao Fan wasn't the one in charge, their team wouldn't have suffered much loss. After all, without the secret realm's commander, they couldn't possibly defeat the Tiger Roar Squad. At worst, they could just leave the secret realm and find someone else.
Xiao Fan was gambling, but wasn't he gambling too?
The only difference is that if Xiao Fan loses, it will mean a million Core Power, while if they lose, it will only mean a sliver of hope breaking through their defenses. They are completely fearless.
Besides, for some reason, he had a feeling that Xiao Fan wasn't a liar.
"Captain, how could you invite this swindler..."
Jinmao looked anxious when he saw Zhanfeng inviting Xiao Fan, after all, in his opinion, Xiao Fan was a complete fraud, no doubt about it. But he was interrupted by Zhanfeng halfway through his sentence.
"Shut up. Anyone who has objections can choose not to participate in this dungeon raid."
Zhanfeng, the team leader, is usually very easy to talk to, but this is the first time he has disregarded the feelings of his other teammates.
Seeing this, Northeast Tiger, the leader of the Tiger Roar Squad, sneered inwardly, thinking, "It seems Zhanfeng is really desperate this time; he actually believes such an obvious fraud."
However, some members of the Zhanfeng Squad guessed Zhanfeng's reason for doing so, and no one stood up to refute his decision.
Xiao Fan sighed inwardly.
He's only changed his appearance now; he'll still reveal his ID as soon as he joins the team.
However, Xiao Fan was still grateful that the Zhanfeng Squad invited him to join at a crucial moment, regardless of their thoughts and purposes.
"I'd like to join your team."
"Welcome."
As Xiao Fan walked towards the Zhanfeng Squad, Judge Young Master's face turned frighteningly dark.
"Very well! I'd like to see if your Zhanfeng Squad, under the command of Master Zhou He, can achieve the first clear of the Death Cliff!"
Finally, the Judge Young Master couldn't resist a sarcastic remark before turning and leaving.
"Zhanfeng, I'm rooting for you too, hahaha~"
The Northeast Tiger laughed loudly, then followed the Judge Young Master away.
Zhanfeng glanced at the sky. "It's getting late. Many teams have already set off from the gathering place. Let's hurry up and go too."
The Death Cliff is a level 30 Beast Zone, and any secret realms that appear here will only be level 30 secret realms.
However, for ordinary players who don't have Profession and don't understand teamwork and mechanics, the difficulty of the dungeon is extremely high.
In particular, most players use a hexagonal, inefficient skill point allocation, making it increasingly difficult to conquer dungeons as their level increases.
In the Novice Zone, there's a level 10 level advantage in the dungeon; as long as you're careful, you can clear it.
However, in the official version, the dungeon will be further strengthened, and players with a level 20 advantage will need luck to clear it.
Therefore, although the Death Cliff is a level 30 secret realm, no level 30 player dares to enter and challenge it; only level 40 to 50 players dare to enter and explore it.
Besides the five people Xiao Fan knew before, the remaining two men and two women in the Zhanfeng Squad are also their regular teammates.
The two female players have the IDs Keke and Lele. The two male players have the IDs Camel Xiangzi and Short Circuit Baby.
Along the way, apart from Jinmao and Superman, the other players in the Zhanfeng Squad were also quite friendly towards Xiao Fan.
"You have no idea, that Judge Young Master is a complete scumbag! He was originally the commander of the number one Flying Squad in our settlement, but then he dated all the single female members of the squad for a few days. That's not all, he even set his sights on Captain Sui Yu's wife. Sui Yu is a notorious womanizer; if you dare to touch his wife, whether you're the commander or not, you're fired."
"Later, he joined the second-ranked team in the settlement, Diga Squad. Guess what? He started dating all the female members at the same time, causing the female members to fight each other over him, and the team almost disbanded. Although the captain needs to give orders, what's the point of giving orders if the team is gone? In the end, he was kicked out of the team."
"He switched teams four or five times in a year, and he always had to move around a bit with each team he joined. Now, the better teams in the area don't want to team up with him permanently."
Along the way, Qingbao chattered away, telling Xiao Fan gossip about the Judge Young Master.
Xiao Fan remained silent.
This behavior has gone beyond the realm of "scumbag"; it's pure mischief.
No wonder the regular players in the Frostfire Gathering Point all have a complicated expression when they see him.
"Although the Judge Young Master's character isn't great, his command ability is quite good. He led a team to achieve the first clear of a nearby secret realm before. His team has a low mortality rate and a high success rate. Are you confident that you can beat him?" Lili suddenly asked.
