Reunited

Xiao Fan: That's fucking outrageous!

Isn't Auntie a player from Mercury in the story? Why is she now Aunt Liu's distant niece?

The storyline of this secret realm...

Isn't this a bit too messy and illogical?

Xiao Fan's mind was becoming increasingly confused.

It's too chaotic! He has absolutely no idea how to organize the storyline of this secret realm.

Just when he thinks he understands enough, something new and outrageous appears.

For example, right now.

"Snap."

Xiao Fan felt a light pat on his shoulder.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call for your sister."

Looking up, he found his father, Xiao Jing, frowning as he looked at him.

"What's wrong with you, child? You've seemed so preoccupied all day."

Xiao Fan:... I don't know how to say it.

Anyone would be baffled by this.

Liu Xiujuan, sitting opposite Xiao Fan, looked at him with a smile but didn't say anything.

Xiao Fan couldn't help but shiver.

This Liu Xiujuan is so different in personality from his real-life aunt!

They're completely different people!

She couldn't understand why, if the secret realm wanted to imitate his family, they didn't try to imitate them more closely.

Xiao Fan was glad that he wasn't the original owner of this body and didn't have much contact with his family, so he could analyze the situation objectively.

How exactly did she become Aunt Liu's distant niece?

Even after returning home, Xiao Fan still couldn't figure it out.

"How was it? Did that person come today?" Yu Nianzhu asked as soon as the father and son entered.

Xiao Jing shook his head. "He hasn't shown up. I'll wait two more days. If he doesn't come by then, he's probably given up."

At this point, Xiao Jing paused, his expression turning serious.

"Nianzhu, I've thought about it. Xiaofan is still young, and it's really not appropriate to leave him alone at home. How about... you stay in the real world first, and when Xiaofan is a bit older, and I'm stronger in the game, you can join him in the game..."

"No!"

Xiao Jing was interrupted by Yu Nianzhu before he could finish speaking.

"We can support each other, it's too dangerous for you to be alone! As for Xiao Fan..."

Yu Nianzhu hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.

"With game attribute points now materializable, there won't be as many child abductions. As long as we're careful, Xiao Fan should be fine."

Xiao Jing: "Safety aside, Xiao Fan is still young and needs someone to take care of him."

Yu Nianzhu: "No way! I absolutely refuse to let you enter the game alone!"

Xiao Fan:... Stop arguing! Stop arguing! Neither of you would survive in the game!

Seeing that neither of them was willing to compromise, Xiao Fan suddenly thought of a solution.

"Why don't you take me with you into the game?"

"No!" This time, Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu said in unison.

Actually, there is no age limit for the game <Cloud Sea>.

However, the game is too dangerous, and minors entering the game will not have high attribute points. Coupled with other factors, the mortality rate is extremely high.

That's why the government stipulates that players must be 18 years of age or older to enter the game.

For an eight-year-old brat like Xiao Fan to enter the game, what's the difference between that and courting death?

They can't agree to this, since he's their only son!

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes.

Not to boast, but with him, this amazing expert, leading the way, Xiao Jing and his wife still have a glimmer of hope.

Without him, they would all die!

Xiao Fan's suggestion was rejected, and Xiao Jing and his wife did not continue arguing.

The next day, after Xiao Jing secretly slipped out of school again.

He wanted to exchange a way to leave the secret realm with Xiao Yi for some information about the Mercury Game invasion.

Sea City is not small, so finding Xiao Yi and his group will not be easy.

Xiao Fan could only return to the street park where Xiao Yi had appeared yesterday and wait there, but unfortunately he didn't run into them.

Seeing that it was almost time for school to end, Xiao Fan returned to school.

For the next two days, Xiao Fan went to stake out Xiao Yi and his group every day, but he never saw them.

Xiao Fan was getting anxious. Xiao Jing was already planning to enter the game, and there was still no news from Xiao Yi.

He still hasn't triggered the game's completion quest notification.

This is too difficult! It's driving him crazy!

This is the most complex secret realm that Xiao Fan encountered in the Cloud Sea.

"I have to go back to school; I'm afraid I'll get caught if I stay any longer."

Xiao Fan glanced at the park clock before walking out of the park.

As soon as Xiao Fan stepped out of the park, he saw Xiao Jing and his group walking towards him.

"Finally!" Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward.

"Brother Yi, can we wait for that woman in this park?" a player behind Xiao Yi asked.

"Probably, I guess she's probably in this area," Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.

"Are we really going to work for that woman?" the player asked, sounding somewhat displeased.

"We've tried everything these past two days, but we just can't find a way to leave the secret realm. She's our only hope of leaving now," Xiao Yi said helplessly.

He was truly at his wit's end, and the longer he stayed in the secret realm, the more he felt that Liu Xiujuan might not be lying to them.

They will truly belong here forever.

Therefore, they cannot sit idly by and wait to die!

He cannot give up as long as there is even the slightest hope of leaving.

So Xiao Yi returned with his men.

"I can tell you a possible way to leave the secret realm, but I have some questions."

A childish voice suddenly rang out, Xiao Yi came back to his senses to see an unfamiliar little boy of eight or nine years old looking up at him.

I looked around; there was no one else there.

So, the one who just spoke was this little boy in front of us.

In an instant, the way Xiao Yi and his group looked at Xiao Fan changed.

"Little friend, what did you just say?" Xiao Yi asked incredulously.

Xiao Fan, carrying his schoolbag, looked serious.

"You heard me right. I said I know a way that might allow you to leave the secret realm."

Xiao Yi frowned and looked Xiao Fan up and down.

Who are you? How do you know us?

How old is this child? Eight or nine years old? It's impossible for him to enter the game on Mercury, so he can't be a Mercury player. Then who is he? And how does he know about their affairs?

Xiao Fan shook his head and did not answer Xiao Yi's question.

"Never mind who I am, just tell me if you want to know the possible way to leave the secret realm."

Xiao Yi and the other players exchanged glances, their faces filled with surprise.

Who exactly is this child in front of us? How does he know they are players and how to leave the secret realm?

Could it be???

Is he a key figure in this secret realm?

Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

What do you want to know?

Xiao Fan: "Everything about the game <Cloud Sea> invading Mercury."

Xiao Yi was taken aback. "You're asking why we're doing this?"

Why would a character from a game's secret realm want to know about their Real World affairs?

Moreover, he always felt that the child was too old-fashioned.

It's a bit strange.

You just need to answer my questions.

Xiao Yi figured that since the child in front of him already knew who they were as players, it didn't matter if he talked about Mercury.

"Our Mercury Games invasion happened fifteen years ago..."
