A Sincere Approach Was the Ultimate Weapon
Although World's End Gathering Point is not as large Never Setting Sun Gathering Point, it is definitely not small either, at least much larger than Frostfire Gathering Point.
Many forces are entrenched here, with the Shen Sect being the most powerful; otherwise, Shen Long wouldn't have allowed his stepson Shen Tao, to be stationed here.
As evening fell, an ordinary-looking man dressed in black arrived at the East Gate of the gathering place, looking travel-worn.
Two players guarding the gate of the settlement stepped forward and stopped him.
Please show me your access token.
"I'm a player passing through this area and would like to rest here for the night."
The man's voice sounded unusually young, which seemed incongruous with his appearance.
"Entering 5,000 Core Power once, with no time limit."
The man in black seemed very familiar with this rule and readily transferred his Core Power.
"Go in."
The man in black walked towards the gathering place.
By this time, most of the players who went out to hunt in the secret realms have returned.
The gathering place was brightly lit and bustling with people.
The man in black was none other than Xiao Fan.
Red Hare was very fast; what would normally be a two-day journey, Xiao Fan rode Red Hare here in less than a day.
This face is the data he previously stored in Earth Origin Valley.
His own face is so young that it easily attracts attention here.
After all, in this level 60-70 range, a younger face is more indicative of exceptional talent.
Of course, none of the players who made it this far were simple characters.
According to the information gathered by Ye Bugu, Shen Tao's entry and exit times from the settlement were not fixed.
There might be a period of time when they go hunting every day, or there might be a long period of time when they don't go out at all.
Since he's already here, he has no choice but to come out.
As Xiao Fan was pondering this, he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder from behind.
Turning around, I saw an old man dressed in tattered clothes.
Hello, young man.
The old man waved to him; his dark face was almost unrecognizable, and he was wearing a worn-out cotton coat that hadn't been washed in who knows how many years.
Xiao Fan frowned. "Why are there beggars in the game?"
The old man, who had been grinning at Xiao Fan with his big teeth showing, froze on his face upon hearing his words, then flew into a rage.
"Who are you calling a beggar? Young man, can't you speak properly? I thought you had extraordinary potential and was even considering taking you as my apprentice."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan was taken aback, then quickly nodded, looking apologetic.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a scammer."
The old man's expression softened slightly upon hearing Xiao Fan's apology, but he trembled with rage upon hearing what Xiao Fan said next.
"You, you, you!!! You're utterly hopeless! You're hopeless! Do you even know who I am?"
"Who is it?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.
"ID: Know-It-All to his name, there's nothing on this World's End Gathering Point that I don't know!"
Xiao Fan's eyes lit up. "Then I'll ask you a question."
"Ask! Ask anything!" The Know-It-All pointed to the sky.
When will Shen Tao, the number one manager of your community, leave the community?
"Why are you asking this?" The old man suddenly frowned and scrutinized Xiao Fan.
A murderous glint flashed across Xiao Fan's face. "Kill him to avenge my uncle."
The old man rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "Look at you, so capable! A player like you, whose head doesn't even have a glow, wants to kill Shen Tao? If you don't want to talk, then forget it."
Xiao Fan:... What happened to sincerity being the ultimate weapon?
"Shen Tao is currently indulging in a life of pleasure and probably won't leave the gathering place for at least half a month," the old man said with a smug look on his face.
Xiao Fan's expression twisted. "Not a grandpa, but you can do that in a game???"
"Hehe~ It should be fine, otherwise why would Shen Tao bring that mother and daughter back?" The old man grinned lewdly.
"What the heck? Mother and daughter? This person is playing such a dirty trick!" Xiao Fan was shocked.
"He's obviously new here. This is nothing. He has much more sophisticated tricks up his sleeve." The old man winked.
Xiao Fan, his face full of gossip, said, "Tell me more."
Old man. "I haven't had dinner yet, and my energy is only at 60%. I'm a bit weak."
"It's on me!" Xiao Fan waved his hand generously.
The old man led Xiao Fan to a tavern, and as soon as they entered, he found a seat and sat down.
"Boss, two jin of braised beef, and a bottle of good wine."
The shop owner stepped out from behind the counter. "Oh, another sucker?"
Xiao Fan: "Wait!"
Old man. "You want to back out?"
Xiao Fan shook his head. "Give me five catties of beef, five catties of mutton, five catties... never mind, give me five catties of whatever meat you have, and the same goes for the wine."
The boss was shocked!
The old man laughed until his eyes disappeared, "Hahaha, I can't eat that much, I can't eat that much!"
"That might not be enough," Xiao Fan said, pursing his lips.
Just as the meat was served and the old man was about to eat, a bird popped out of Xiao Fan's pocket.
That bird was very unique; its golden wings shimmered with iridescent light, and its species was impossible to discern.
"Wait, can you even raise pets in this game?" the old man wondered.
Zijin, drawn by the aroma of meat, emerged from the table. He glanced at the tabletop, then jumped onto it and plopped down, munching on the meat and wine with astonishing speed.
The old man was greatly shocked. "What kind of bird is this? How can it eat meat and drink alcohol!"
"You just eat your food and ignore her."
During the meal, Xiao Fan heard the old man tell a lot of gossip about Shen Tao.
In summary, this person was not only violent but also extremely lecherous.
Any female player with even a modicum of attractiveness, regardless of her status, if he sets his sights on her, he'll get her whether she wants it or not.
A few days ago, Shen Tao heard that Heavenly Spirit Treasure had appeared in a certain place, so he led a group of people to search for it.
When they returned, they not only obtained Heavenly Spirit Treasure, but also brought back an extremely beautiful mother and daughter who hadn't left the settlement for several days.
Xiao Fan frowned. "Isn't anyone going to take care of this?"
The old man scoffed, "Kid, you're too naive! What kind of family is the Shen Family? Even in the Real World, someone might not be able to handle something like this. Let alone here in the <Cloud Sea>."
Xiao Fan remained silent.
The old man was right.
Who will care?
Back then, his real-life college entrance exam scores were changed. In the game, his uncle had his legs cut off and was left in the wild.
If he didn't have memories of his past life, how good would he be?
Seeing Xiao Fan remain silent, the old man quickly spoke up.
"Kid, it's good that you're young, spirited, and have a sense of justice, but don't try to be a savior in the game. Games are hundreds of times more dangerous than reality."
"I see you're so young to be in this area, you must have some talent for gaming. Why don't you become my apprentice..."
Bang--
Before the old man could finish speaking, the tavern's main door was suddenly flung open.
Several players with green glowing heads barged in and looked around.
"What happened?" The tavern owner rushed out from the kitchen upon hearing the noise.
"Old Xu, have any unfamiliar players come in today?"
Upon hearing this, the tavern owner instinctively looked at Xiao Fan.
Upon seeing this, the two men turned to look at Xiao Fan, then shook their heads.
It wasn't him.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the door, along with shouts.
"There he is! Grab him!"
Inside the tavern, the two players' expressions changed, and they instantly gave chase.
"There's something interesting going on! Let's go see!" The old man grabbed Xiao Fan and chased after them.
