Jiu Chen?
Early the next morning, Xiao Fan planned to bring his uncle and aunt into the game and make them official citizens of Yanhuang City.
He himself will first join Yanhuang City and open up the Profession he created to the city.
After leaving the Novice Zone, players are responsible for the cost of each time they exit the game.
This amount of money was nothing to Xiao Fan.
"Will you wait here? I'll bring you into Yanhuang City later."
Xiao Fan had previously led his team to obtain a number of official citizen slots by winning the City Building Token, so he could bring his team into Yanhuang City first.
Even without a quota, given the Profession he created, mentoring a few people would be no problem at all.
After explaining, Xiao Fan logged out of the game.
This time, the entire Login Administration was deserted, with only one security guard and one salesperson, and Xiao Fan noticed that many places seemed to be under construction.
I asked the security guard and learned that the country was building Safety Fortress, and all available resources had been dismantled and sent there.
On his way home, Xiao Fan noticed that the entire Sea City was quite deserted, with hardly anyone on the streets.
Since the government announced the invasion of Fierce Beast three months later, coupled with Upper Stream events, almost everyone in the Dragon Nation who can access the game has now entered the game.
Xiao Fan returned home quickly.
"Xiao Fan, why are you back?" Uncle Xiao Yi was quite surprised to see him.
The aunt, who was tidying up inside, looked up at the sound and said, "I heard there's an event in the game that gives players a huge boost. Why are you back at this time?"
Xiao Fan got straight to the point.
"I came back this time to bring you into the game and help you improve your strength during the event period."
"What? You're taking us into the game?"
The uncle and aunt exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Fan nodded. "Auntie, pack some necessities, we'll leave right away."
"Xiao Fan, didn't we agree last time that your aunt would go with you? I won't go," Xiao Yi said after thinking for a moment.
He hadn't planned to enter the game before, and now that the game event is in progress, it's precisely the time for Xiao Fan to improve, so there's even less reason for him to enter the game and hold him back.
Xiao Fan knew his uncle's concerns and told him about the Class Card.
"Profession? Mechanical Legs? Full mobility? Xiao Fan, is what you're saying true?"
Upon hearing this, the aunt was even more excited than the uncle.
She stayed by her husband's side every day and knew best the pain he had suffered from losing his legs.
If it weren't for their two children and her nephew's promising future, she had no doubt that her husband would have taken his own life.
Xiao Yi had no reason to refuse. The Real World was about to face an invasion of alien beasts, and if he could protect himself, Xiao Fan would have no worries.
"Okay, let's enter the game."
The aunt packed a few things quickly and sent a message to her two children, informing them that she and her husband had entered the game with Xiao Fan.
Now that the family is financially secure, Liu Xiujuan transferred more living expenses to her children so they could stay at school. She then retrieved the couple's long-forgotten Login Device.
Let's go.
They need to go to the Login Administration first to change Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan's login location to Yanhuang City.
This service wasn't available before, but after the establishment of safe cities, players can choose to log in from a safe city.
The salesperson was the same young girl who had first quit the game when Xiao Fan did so.
She frowned and glanced at Xiao Yi, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
The two trouser legs were empty, clearly indicating that there were no legs.
"Shouldn't you reconsider? Although the country is encouraging everyone to participate in the game, this person's situation is still very dangerous in the game."
Since breaking his leg, Xiao Yi has become even more self-conscious, and he rarely interacts with other people except for communicating with them online.
He felt extremely embarrassed when he met the young woman's strange gaze, even though he knew the saleswoman meant well.
Xiao Fan's expression darkened, and he felt somewhat dissatisfied, but he still patiently spoke.
"We've already thought it through, you just need to process our paperwork."
The salesperson became unhappy when the other party was so ungrateful for his well-intentioned reminder.
"Sir, although safe cities have been established in the game and are open to all Dragon Nation, our Dragon Nation has a large population, and two safe cities simply cannot accommodate so many people. Your elders are already in this state; letting them enter the game would only occupy resources. What you are doing is too selfish."
Although Xiao Yi knew of Xiao Fan's abilities, he had never truly experienced how formidable Xiao Fan was. The inferiority complex stemming from losing both legs made him extremely sensitive, and hearing the salesperson say this only intensified his embarrassment, making him instinctively want to escape.
"Xiao Fan, maybe I shouldn't log into the game yet."
"You little girl, do you even know how to talk? Whether or not we enter the game is our freedom. The government hasn't said anything, so what gives you the right to say that?"
After finishing her words, the aunt looked at her husband with concern, afraid that his words would hurt him.
Xiao Fan finally reached his breaking point.
He can't obtain all the safe city building orders in the game, and everyone is hoping he will open up Profession in the city. He only wants to bring his own people into the game and not affect anyone else, so why are they saying this?
Xiao Fan himself wouldn't get this angry even if someone said a few words to him, but he couldn't stand it when it was directed at his family.
Through the window, Xiao Fan slammed his fist on the table, the force of which shattered the table in front of the salesperson.
"Ah!"
The salesman screamed and collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale.
Since she started working at the Administration Bureau, no one has ever dared to cause trouble here.
"What's up?"
Hearing the commotion, the security guard at the entrance rushed over.
Seeing the mess at the scene, the security guard couldn't help but frown.
Only one player came to the Administration Bureau today. He remembered Xiao Fan; he was a very friendly young man. What happened?
The salesperson finally realized what was happening, his face flushed with anger, and he pointed at Xiao Fan, shouting loudly.
"Brother Wang, he dared to make a move at the Login Administration Bureau. Arrest him immediately!"
Security guard Brother Wang didn't act immediately. He looked at Xiao Fan and asked, "Young man, what's going on?"
"Brother Wang, why are you asking him? National regulations state that any player who dares to cause trouble at the Login Administration will not only have their Login Device confiscated but will also go to jail. He did cause trouble; you need to arrest him immediately."
Many players, after realizing their game attributes, became arrogant and repeatedly retaliated against the Login Administration Bureau. As a result, the government introduced this punitive regulation, which is quite severe for players.
Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan, who were standing nearby, turned pale with fright when they heard about the serious consequences of taking action.
Although they knew Xiao Fan was powerful, they were still afraid because he had done illegal and disorderly things.
Liu Xiujuan quickly apologized to the salesperson and pleaded, "Isn't that right! I'm sorry! Xiao Fan didn't do it on purpose. We won't go into the game, please don't arrest him."
Xiao Yi regretted his restless heart for wanting to enter the game with his nephew at this time.
"We're not going into the game anymore, we're leaving now, please don't arrest him."
Xiao Yi grabbed Xiao Fan's arm. "Xiao Fan, let's go quickly."
"Leave? Why should we leave?"
Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan and comforted them.
"Uncle and Aunt, don't be afraid. We did nothing wrong. Even if we were, they have to bear with it."
With his Profession at his disposal, Xiao Fan had this confidence.
"Oh!"
The salesman stood up and gave a cold laugh.
She initially thought that since there was a disabled person in the family, she could just punish them and that would be the end of it. But she didn't expect that Xiao Fan would still dare to be so stubborn at this point.
The security guard then roughly understood what had happened.
Xiao Fan's actions weren't out of genuine intent to cause trouble; given the current circumstances, there was no need to escalate the situation.
"Young man, why don't you apologize, and we'll let this matter drop?"
Xiao Fan knew the security guard meant well, but an apology was out of the question.
They came to do business, but the salesperson not only refused to process their application, but also made sarcastic remarks. He was already being lenient by not hitting them. An apology? Forget about it!
What happened?
A dignified voice came from the doorway, followed by a middle-aged man with a somewhat haggard face walking in.
"Hello, Director Zheng," the security guard and the salesperson greeted him hurriedly.
The man is Zheng Jinggong, the director of the Login Administration Bureau.
Zheng Jinggong looked at the mess in the window, turned to look at Xiao Fan, and finally glanced at Xiao Yi's legs before asking with a stern face.
What's going on?
Upon hearing the security guard's address, Xiao Yi and his wife realized that the middle-aged man in front of them was the director of the Landing Bureau, and their lips turned white with fright.
"Director Zheng, these three people came to apply for the service to log in and locate Yanhuang City. I noticed that this uncle has a leg disability, Game Association, so I kindly advised them to think it over. Who knew that this person would just smash up the service counter."
The salesperson was furious and, seeing this, immediately pointed at Xiao Fan and complained.
"How could you lie, young lady? We came to apply for a location tracking service, and you made sarcastic remarks, saying we were wasting national resources. My nephew, young and hot-blooded, couldn't hold back and accidentally knocked over the service counter."
Xiao Yi knew that apologizing at this point would be tantamount to admitting Xiao Fan's mistake, which was unacceptable.
Even if there was a mistake, it was the other party who made the mistake first.
Besides, how old is Xiao Fan? What's wrong with a young person making a mistake by accident?
"That's right! The government hasn't complained about us using up resources, so what gives you the right to say that about us?"
Liu Xiujuan pulled Xiao Fan behind her, looking at the three from the Landing Bureau with a protective expression.
In her heart, no matter how capable Xiao Fan was, he was still a junior, and in crucial moments, the elders should stand in front.
Zheng Jinggong knew what had happened as soon as he heard it.
Apologize to them.
Zheng Chenggong looked at the salesman.
"Director..." The young saleswoman bit her lip, her face full of resistance.
"I said I apologized!"
Zheng Chenggong's tone became more stern.
The salesperson walked up to Xiao Fan and his two companions and reluctantly apologized.
"This was indeed her fault. Will you accept her apology?"
Seeing Zheng Jinggong, the salesman, so decisively apologize to them, Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan felt a little embarrassed.
"No... it's okay, we accept."
But the next second...
"Now we can talk about what he did at the Login Administration Bureau."
Zheng Jinggong's sharp eyes turned to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan then realized what was happening and quickly offered an explanation.
"Director Zheng, my nephew is still young, he's only 18. It's understandable that he lost his temper when he was mocked; he didn't mean it."
Zheng Jinggong gestured for Xiao Yi to stop talking.
"Still young? In Dragon Nation, the law clearly states that no one can take action against the Login Administration Bureau. Since you're already eighteen, you should bear the corresponding responsibility."
"Take them to the police station," Zheng Jinggong said to the security guard beside him.
Although the security guard felt that Xiao Fan's behavior was not particularly egregious, he dared not disobey since the bureau chief had given his orders.
"Oh."
Xiao Fan sneered. This director of the Login Administration Bureau appeared selfless on the surface, but in reality, he was extremely biased.
When one's own people make a mistake, they are treated leniently, and a perfunctory apology is all that's needed.
They made others bear the consequences of their mistakes.
"The State Login Administration Bureau was established to provide services for Dragon Nation players logging into the game. We were humiliated while conducting our normal business; is this the attitude of your Login Administration Bureau?"
"So what? We've already apologized, and you've accepted it," Zheng Jinggong said coldly.
Upon hearing Zheng Jinggong's words, Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan instantly regretted their actions.
Without a word, Zheng Jinggong, a bureau chief, had his men apologize to them. They had just thought he was a decent person, so why would they refuse to apologize?
But now... how could he do this?
"Xiao Fan... I..."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Fan helplessly.
"It's alright," Xiao Fan said reassuringly to his uncle.
Of course, he wouldn't blame his family; it was all someone else's fault.
My uncle and aunt haven't seen much of the world, so they are easily misled.
"So what? How do you plan to punish me?" Xiao Fan crossed his arms and looked at Zheng Jinggong with a cold smile.
"Tell him the consequences of taking action at the Login Administration Bureau," Zheng Jinggong said to the salesman.
The salesman stood tall and proud, a hint of smugness on his face, like a victorious rooster.
Article 128 of the "Dragon Nation Law" stipulates: If a player takes action against the Login Administration Bureau and the circumstances are serious, their login device will be confiscated for three years, and they will be sentenced to five to ten years of labor reform in the game.
The labor reform here is essentially helping the government make money.
The reason the official organization has so much Core Power is because they have fixed gold farming spots; criminal players are sent here to farm gold.
"Your behavior warrants at least three years of labor reform and two years of confiscated login devices," the salesman said, looking at Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan could have simply left.
However, his offline location was Yanhuang City, while his uncle and aunt did not change their location; they logged back in from where they last logged off.
The game is too dangerous now, and given his uncle's leg injury, Xiao Fan didn't dare gamble and let them enter the game directly.
"Punishment, is that it? Fine! You'll regret it."
Xiao Fan tossed the game launcher in his hand to Zheng Jinggong's feet.
Let me remind you, it's easy to invite a god in, but difficult to send him away!
Zheng Jinggong almost laughed in anger.
Who gave him the courage to say such a thing?
Players of this age wouldn't dare make such boastful claims, even if the descendants of the Four Great Families came.
"Alright! I'd like to see just how difficult it is to send off this god."
After Zheng Jinggong finished speaking, he turned to the security guard and said...
"Send him to the police station, and once the verdict is handed down, send him straight to a labor camp. I want to see how stubborn he really is!"
"Xiao Fan."
Xiao Yi saw that Zheng Jinggong was really going to arrest Xiao Fan, he panicked instantly.
"You can't arrest my nephew! My nephew... he's Jiu Chen, and the Profession he created is incredibly powerful!"
Xiao Yi originally wanted to say that Xiao Fan had created God King Rank Skill, but he suddenly realized that this was a secret, so he could only say that Xiao Fan had created Profession.
"Jiu Chen?"
