Jun Family

In the Monster Region, there are quests that reward you with Upgrade Token, which can be used to upgrade your city.

"Task."

This was the first time Xiao Fan had heard this term in the game "Cloud Sea".

"That's right."

Once the mission was introduced, Cloud Sea truly felt like a game.

"It seems that it's not that there are no quests in <Cloud Sea>, but rather that quests only generate in the Monster Region."

Xiao Fan frowned as he thought about it.

"How would the Jun Family know that there are quests in the Monster Region that reward them with tokens to upgrade their cities?"

It's important to know that the Monster Region was a new area that opened up after Jian Qingfeng reached level 100. Because the Magic Beast extremely powerful, even nations haven't explored them on a large scale, so how could the Jun Family know so much about them?

"Could it be...?"

"Are the Jun Family, like Luo Yi, alien players stranded on Blue Star?"

But upon closer reflection, it seems impossible.

Players stranded on an alien planet lose their original game data and memories. Luo Yi regained her memories because she gained a special ability. Could it be that the Jun Family also gained the special ability to regain memories?

"Impossible! What a coincidence! There must be something I don't know."

At that moment, Shen Beiwen frowned and asked the question that was on Xiao Fan's mind.

"Dad, how do the Jun Family know how to quickly upgrade a city? Why don't they cooperate with the country and instead target our City of Kings?"

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up; this kid knew how to ask questions.

Shen Long glanced in the direction of Xiao Fan and frowned.

"What? You can tell I'm next to you just by the air movement?" Xiao Fan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Shen Beiwu asked, seeing his father's condition.

Shen Long sighed and looked away. "It's nothing, it's just that I keep feeling like there's a pair of eyes watching us."

Upon hearing this, the two Shen Family brothers looked around but found nothing unusual.

Indeed, this is the City of Kings, the City Lord Mansion, Shen Long's residence. What audacious person would dare to trespass here?

"Dad, could it be because of my brother that you're so upset? Don't worry, we will definitely avenge him!"

Shen Beiwen assured him once again, and Shen Beiwu quickly chimed in as well.

"If I ever see that Jiu Chen, I will grind him to dust and avenge my brother."

Xiao Fan sneered, "Good kid, I'll remember you."

Shen Long was relieved to see his two sons so united.

"Maybe."

Although his youngest son wasn't particularly bright or talented, he was still his own son.

He had dinner with him one minute and was killed the next, right on his own turf. It was hard for Shen Long to ignore.

To make matters worse, his private vault was stolen, and his painstakingly cultivated team of level 99 players disappeared on their way to explore the Monster Region.

These issues were giving Shen Long a major headache.

He thought that by upgrading the City of Kings to Level 5 City and creating Profession with levels, he was about to turn the tide.

But in the blink of an eye, he was back to being overwhelmed with problems.

Shen Long pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind.

"Agree to their request."

"Dad!"

Shen Beiwen and Shen Beiwu spoke at the same time.

"You worked so hard to build this City of Kings, why should it be given to the Jun Family? Besides..."

Shen Beiwen was about to say something when Shen Long raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Enough said. My mind is made up. Only when the City of Kings grows stronger can our Shen Family go further."

Shen Long's tone was firm.

"Dad, is there really no way for us to find out how the Jun Family can upgrade their city? Are we just supposed to submit to them?" Shen Beiwen asked unwillingly.

Shen Long shook his head, his gaze deep as he looked ahead. "Even if we knew, there's nothing we can do."

"Why?" the two Shen Family brothers asked, puzzled.

Shen Long didn't explain. He waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest. Tomorrow you'll go to the Jun Family... Never mind, I'll go myself tomorrow."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan knew there was no more to come.

The conversation between the three men left Xiao Fan increasingly bewildered.

However, it is known that the quick methods for upgrading the city and creating Profession were likely told to Shen Long by the Jun Family.

As for why the Jun Family knew these things...

Xiao Fan took a deep breath.

If you set aside all the impossibilities, what remains, however improbable, is the truth.

The Jun Family might be beta testers, or someone from their group might be on another server.

When the Black Fog invaded Blue Star, all three major nations of Blue Star — the Dragon Nation, the White Nation, and the Black Nation— could enter the <Cloud Sea>.

However, the three countries are not in the same region, meaning they are not on the same game server.

Aside from system announcements which can be seen on all three servers, other chat functions are not interconnected.

As more players entered the game, the Black Fog in the Real World gradually stabilized.

Real World interactions between players from the three countries have gradually increased.

Neither of them would give in.

Before Xiao Fan entered the game, the Dragon Nation was the strongest, but the gap between it and the White Nation and the Black Nation was not significant.

With Xiao Fan joining, the Dragon Nation Server is now unparalleled, and the version has been updated ahead of schedule.

"I wonder if, after the Fierce Beast invades reality, it will only attack the Dragon Nation or attack everyone on Blue Star equally."

Xiao Fan was somewhat curious.

He felt that attacking only the Dragon Nation was a bit unrealistic, but the White Nation and Black Nation versions hadn't been updated yet, and he wondered if the sudden appearance of the Fierce Beast would startle them.

Xiao Fan shook his head, quickly putting these unimportant matters out of his mind.

Judging from Shen Long's words, the Jun Family should be a very large family, but Xiao Fan had never heard of this family before, which could only mean one thing.

The members of this family are not on the Dragon Nation Server, or rather, most of them are not on the Dragon Nation Server.

This is quite normal; some well-established families will move to different servers for development purposes.

Everything is explained now.

"I wonder which country's server discovered the method for upgrading cities."

Seeing that the Shen Family brothers were about to leave, Xiao Fan thought for a moment and followed them out of the room.

We can't get any more information from Shen Long, so we can only wait until tomorrow to go to the Jun Family with him and see if we can get any more information.

Now, he plans to go to the Kaiyuan Hotel to see what's going on with Si Ming.

Xiao Fan sent a message to Si Ming, asking for the coordinates of the Kaiyuan Hotel.

Just then, he happened to pass by the Shen Family warehouse, so Xiao Fan went inside and took all the supplies.

Looking at the supplies crammed into his Space Ring, Xiao Fan nodded in satisfaction.

After glancing at the message and finding that Si Ming hadn't replied yet, Xiao Fan had a bad feeling.

"I hope nothing bad has happened."

Xiao Fan hurriedly ran out of the City Lord Mansion.

It was late at night, but there were patrol teams all around, searching for him.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, Xiao Fan found a corner to deactivate his invisibility, then disguised himself as Huang Quan before emerging.
