The Arrival in City of Kings

Zhou He did not stop Xiao Fan's next move.

In his view, since Xiao Fan dared to go to the City of Kings, he must have been absolutely confident.

"Notify me immediately if you encounter any danger."

Just in case, Zhou He added another sentence.

The official forces have some hidden influence in the City of Kings; they could provide support to Xiao Fan should anything unexpected happen.

Xiao Fan nodded in agreement.

During dinner, Xiao Fan told everyone that he was going to the City of Kings.

"Brother Chen, let's go with you," the fat man said quickly.

Xiao Fan shook his head. "No need. The City of Kings is in the Level 90 Zone. With your current strength, you'll only be a burden to me if you come with me."

Fatty:... No need to be so direct, I was just being polite.

"Jiu Chen, be careful." Qin Muyu thought for a moment and then added, "You can come to me if you encounter any difficulties."

Xiao Fan looked at Qin Muyu with surprise, secretly wondering, "Could she have some hidden power?"

Qin Muyu seemed to see through Xiao Fan's thoughts and explained:

"I grew up in the Qin Family, and now the Qin Family is based in the City of Kings, so I can still help you out."

A look of understanding flashed across Xiao Fan's eyes. "Thanks."

Ye Changge lowered his head. He had also grown up in the Ye Family, so why didn't he have anyone he could use? What exactly was the problem?

Before going to bed that night, Xiao Yi went to Xiao Fan's room.

"Xiao Fan, be careful on your trip to the City of Kings."

Xiao Fan nodded. "Uncle, I understand."

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Xiao Fan, nothing is more important than your safety."

Xiao Fan felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that Xiao Yi was probably afraid that he would fight the Chen Family to the death.

"Don't worry, Uncle, they're not worth it."

He went there for revenge, not to die.

Besides, with his current strength, would the Chen Family really let him risk his life?

Hearing this, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you should get some rest."

"Yes, be careful with your leveling up while I'm gone these days."

Xiao Fan gave instructions.

He had wanted to leave some life-saving items for his uncle, but unfortunately he didn't have any himself. The Golden Skull was also a bound item and couldn't be given to others.

In the end, they can only be careful themselves.

Early the next morning, Xiao Fan left Yanhuang City alone and headed to the City of Kings.

Zhou He had already sent him the coordinates and planned out the route for him.

As the first city established by the Shen Sect, City of Kings enjoys a very advantageous geographical location.

There is a forest in front of the city, which can provide a good leveling environment for players of level 60-80. This is one of the reasons why other players are willing to join City of Kings. The leveling resources here are indeed quite good.

Xiao Fan glanced at the map, summoned his Red Hare Steed, and galloped towards the City of Kings.

Not long after he left, Qin Muyu and his group encountered Bai Qian again on their way out of the city to level up.

Last night, after discussion, the Bai Family sent someone to talk to Shen Long today about the Bai Family Pharmacy opening in City of Kings.

Shen Long is not as easy to talk to as the government. He only charges a shop fee, so cooperating with him will definitely come at a higher price.

Of course, they can sell the Healing Potion for a higher price at the King Base.

After discussing the matter of the City of Kings, Third Master Bai asked Bai Qian and Xiao Fan how their relationship was progressing.

In his view, his niece was beautiful, could pretend to be innocent and kind, and most importantly, had excellent gaming skills and high emotional and intellectual intelligence. Such a beautiful woman, with both inner and outer beauty, should at least make rapid progress, if not completely captivate Xiao Fan.

Bai Qian remained silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.

Developing any feelings whatsoever; her day was filled with either shock or on her way to shock.

Her understanding of games was almost completely shattered, how could she possibly have time to cultivate a relationship?

Her mind was now filled with questions: Why could Jiu Chen heal 5,000 HP with a single sip? Why was Jiu Chen's defense so strong? Why was Jiu Chen's damage so high? Why was Jiu Chen's HP so high?

"Qianqian? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Third Master Bai's words interrupted Bai Qian's train of thought.

She came to her senses and, for some reason, didn't tell Third Master Bai about Xiao Fan.

"Third Uncle, it won't be that fast. Jiu Chen isn't the kind of person who'll fawn over a pretty face. To win him over, you'll need to spend a lot of time with him. To get the entrance to the <Island of Light> secret realm, I'll probably be in his group for a long time to come."

"Wouldn't this be too unfair to you?" asked Third Master Bai.

Bai Qian sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it."

Third Master Bai frowned, feeling that something was amiss. He remembered that Bai Qian had been particularly averse to Jiu Chen just yesterday, and he had to persuade her to agree to seduce Jiu Chen.

Why is it going to be a long-term commitment now?

What's wrong??

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Bai Qian is a member of the Bai Family; she must be doing this for the sake of the family."

A hint of admiration flashed in Third Master Bai's eyes. "Qianqian, you've worked hard. Don't worry, once you get the location of the secret realm's entrance, I don't think I'll let this get out and ruin your reputation."

Bai Qian had timed it perfectly and came out specifically to wait for Xiao Fan.

Upon seeing the fat man and his group, she adjusted her smile and immediately rushed over.

"Little Medical Flower!" The fat man's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward. "It's great that you can come! Brother Chen has been away these past few days, and we've been missing a Doctor."

Bai Qian's smile froze on her face.

Jiu Chen isn't here, then what is she doing here?

Bai Qian forced a smile, "Why hasn't Jiu Chen been around these past few days?"

After asking, Bai Qian realized that her question seemed too pointed, so she quickly changed her answer.

"I saw Jiu Chen's treatment yesterday and it was amazing. I was thinking of learning from him today, but I didn't expect him to be here."

"I see." The fat man nodded, then said, "You don't need to ask Brother Chen anymore. He can't be judged by ordinary standards. If you want to imitate him, you'll have to wait until your next life."

Bai Qian:... You fatso, shut up!

"Brother Chen has important business to attend to, and we don't know when he'll arrive. You're the only Doctor on our team right now."

With Xiao Fan absent, Bai Qian didn't want to team up with this group of low-level players.

But then again, her leaving like that, wasn't her purpose rather obvious?

Xiao Fan is not easy to approach. Infiltrating his team might be the best way to get close to him, not to mention that Jiu Chen's family members are also in the team.

Bai Qian took a deep breath.

"Alright, let's go outside the city and level up."

Xiao Fan's journey to the City of Kings was not peaceful. Relying on his high-attribute mental power, he was able to avoid large groups of creatures, and he would kill any lone ones he could find, since it was during an event.

Especially at night, it is extremely dangerous, which is why his journey is very slow.

However, the route Zhou He gave him is one that many players frequently take.

Xiao Fan sometimes teams up with other teams to get a little rest at night, but he doesn't dare to sleep too soundly.

Today he was lucky enough to encounter a Mercenary squad. The captain was a very generous man named Si Ming. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a broad back and thick waist. When he stood in front of people, he looked like half an iron tower.

He had a dark, square face and a thick, unruly beard that ran from his temples to his chin, giving him an impression of being careless and unconcerned about appearances.

After learning that Xiao Fan was alone, he took the initiative to invite Xiao Fan to join the team.

After a day's journey, the Mercenary set up camp, and the fifty-odd men quickly erected tents.

Xiao Fan, Captain Si Ming, and many Mercenary sat around the campfire, preparing to have dinner.

"Brother Huang Quan, where are you going alone?" Si Ming asked curiously.

In the game, it takes immense courage to travel alone, Si Ming greatly admires such people.

Xiao Fan's current face is that of a player he met on the road; he stole a lot of player data along the way to replace it.

His own face looked too young, Shen Long recognized him, so to avoid trouble, he changed his face to that of the player named Huang Quan.

Xiao Fan smiled and said truthfully, "Brother Si Ming, I just got separated from the team. Our team originally planned to go to City of Kings, but we encountered a level 90 Wild Boss and ended up getting separated."

"I see."

Si Ming understood.

He didn't hold a different opinion of Xiao Fan because of this. Mercenary travel all over the country and often encounter danger and trouble, so most Mercenary like to make friends. Helping others is also helping their future selves.

While not every player will remember the favor, having one or two is a huge gain for them.

"Brother Huang Quan, where are you going?"

Xiao Fan noticed that the Mercenary group was carrying two large boxes, presumably on their way to deliver goods.

He was curious. Now that the game had Trading House, although the fees were a bit high, it was safe and fast. Why bother hiring Mercenary to go through the trouble of delivering goods? Wouldn't the hiring fee be even higher?

The main reason was that the game "Cloud Sea" had a limited supply of items, and he was very curious about what Si Ming and his Mercenary group had given them.

However, this involved the Mercenary group's privacy, so Xiao Fan didn't ask directly. Instead, he inquired about their destination.

"We're also heading to the City of Kings. You can come with us on the way; it'll be good to have someone to look after you."

"Then thank you very much, Brother Si Ming."

Hearing from Si Ming that the goods were being delivered to the City of Kings, Xiao Fan became even more curious about what they were.

If it's something valuable, he might be able to steal it.

Of course, he would only take action after Si Ming and his team delivered and inspected the goods.

After all, Si Ming is a decent person; Xiao Fan wouldn't be so heartless as to harm them.

After dinner, Si Ming looked at Xiao Fan, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Brother Si Ming, please speak frankly," Xiao Fan said.

Upon hearing this, Si Ming finally spoke, "Brother Huang Quan, are you planning to join the City of Kings? Let me say a few more words, please don't find it annoying."

"You say it," Xiao Fan said.

"Although City of Kings is currently the only Level 5 City in the game, it's really not a good place. You've probably heard the rumors about City of Sin. I've been to King Base twice before for missions, and it's really chaotic here. Unless you're extremely strong, you simply can't establish yourself in the city."

Moreover, there isn't a single decent Profession in the City of Kings, so you might as well try to join the official city.

The official city seems to have reached an agreement with the Class Maniac Jiu Chen; Profession Jiu Chen creates will be available to them. Although the number of slots is currently limited, we can take a long-term view. It's better than letting things rot in City of Kings."

Si Ming's words were truly heartfelt.

He mainly thought Xiao Fan wasn't the kind of vicious person, which is why he was willing to give him a heads-up.

"Thank you for your Si Ming, Brother Siming. I will consider it," Xiao Fan said earnestly.

Since they were all strangers, Si Ming only touched on the subject briefly. Seeing Xiao Fan's response, he didn't say anything more.

The Mercenary group moved quickly along the way, as Si Ming put it, the sooner they finished the mission, the sooner they could go back to level up.

They hadn't planned to take the job, but the other party offered a price they couldn't refuse.

After traveling for two days with Si Ming's Mercenary group, Xiao Fan finally arrived at the forest in front of the City of Kings.

"Beyond this forest lies the City of Kings."

Si Ming pointed to the forest and said.

Looking at the forest before him, Xiao Fan sneered inwardly, "His revenge against the Chen Family is finally coming."

The chaos in the City of Kings can be seen even in the forest.

This forest is the largest leveling area in the City of Kings, and players can be seen everywhere there.

Along the way, Xiao Fan has gained a lot of experience.

Murder and robbery are commonplace. As Si Ming said, unless you are very strong, you will become everyone's meal.

The fact that Si Ming dared to run to the City of Kings means he must have some strength.

A level 89 player, fully equipped with red gear and purple weapons, along with a team of 50, is enough to intimidate other players.

After a morning's journey, the group finally traversed the forest and saw the gates of the City of Kings.

"This King Base looks amazing after the upgrade!"

A Mercenary stared in shock at the city wall before him, his face filled with astonishment.

Not to mention him, even Xiao Fan was shocked by the city before him.

Just looking at the outside, it was at least ten times larger than Yanhuang City. The continuous city walls were like an ancient dragon lying on the horizon, with no end in sight. It was so magnificent and spectacular!

Thinking of the Level 5 City Building Token he had obtained earlier, Xiao Fan felt a pang of regret.

Needless to say, Zhou He has definitely materialized it into the Real World.

After entering the city, Xiao Fan parted ways with Si Ming.

Before leaving, Si Ming said to Xiao Fan.

"After we finish our delivery, we should rest in City of Kings for two days. During this time, if you regret your decision and want to leave City of Kings, you can find me at the Kaiyuan Hotel. Our Mercenary group usually stays there."

"Okay, Brother Ming, thank you for taking care of me along the way."

Watching the procession of the Si Ming Master walk away, Xiao Fan didn't have time to look at the surrounding scenery. He slipped into a corner, concealed himself, and immediately followed.

He also wanted to see where those two large boxes had been delivered.

For the past two days, he has refrained from touching those two boxes, fearing that there might be some restrictions inside, and if he did, Si Ming and the others would be unable to explain themselves.

Once the goods are delivered, he can find an opportunity to take action.

"My god, Captain, this King Base is huge after the upgrade! How much longer are we going to walk?"

One of the Mercenary couldn't help but complain.

Si Ming's attention wasn't on this; he was probably looking at the Game System page.

"Almost there. According to the coordinates they sent, it should be about a fifteen-minute walk away," Si Ming said.

"This City of Kings is getting more and more outrageous. I feel like there are plenty of people eyeing our goods as we walk down the street." A Mercenary cautiously looked around.

Si Ming's tone turned serious. "Everyone be careful, this is the last stretch of the road. After this mission, we won't be accepting any more missions from the City of Kings."

Xiao Fan followed for a while longer, and finally they arrived in front of a magnificent building.

The City Lord Mansion.

"Coordinates are displayed; this is the location."
