Returning to Dragon City

Shen Long and Quan Zhong were now filled with deep regret—what difference was there between them capturing Xiao Fan and holding a nuclear bomb?

If I had known this would happen, I would have just let him go. So what if I lost a son?

Now, another one has been lost, and the City of Kings he painstakingly built up over half his life has been destroyed in an instant.

Until the very last moment, Shen Long was unable to wait for the Disconnector's nodes to be destroyed.

The thunder and lightning raged for a full five minutes before finally stopping. To the players in the city, those five minutes felt like an eternity.

The entire City of Kings was cleaved into ruins.

The skill <Feather Descent Heavenly Thunder> consumed too much energy. After using it, Zijin could no longer maintain her human form and turned into a small purple bird the size of a palm, falling from the sky.

Xiao Fan caught the Zijin that fell from the sky and put it into his Contract Space.

"Let's go, leave the City of Kings immediately."

He wasn't sure if Quan Zhong and Shen Long were dead, and he was also wary of the Rocket in Shen Long's possession.

Without the Zijin, Xiao Fan couldn't withstand the bombardment.

Yun Zhongyao and the man in black finally snapped out of their shock at the Zijin bird turning into a cute little bird.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the three ran towards the city wall.

The walls of the City of Kings were cracked everywhere by lightning, and some parts had even collapsed, showing how powerful the lightning had been.

Xiao Fan and his two companions successfully left the city and encountered their waiting party outside.

"You're still alive? That's great! We thought..."

Upon seeing Xiao Fan and his two companions, someone immediately ran over, looking delighted.

"What happened in the city just now? Why was it so...?"

The player who had just spoken paused, unsure how to describe what he had just witnessed.

At first, there was terrifying energy similar to a nuclear explosion, followed by birds and beasts engulfed in lightning that blotted out the sky, and finally, lightning struck the entire city.

They had never seen such a horrific sight in their lives.

They had intended to go into the city to check on the situation, but upon seeing this scene, all they could see was despair.

In their minds, no one could survive under such circumstances; everyone thought Xiao Fan and the other two were dead.

Yun Zhongyao and the man in black exchanged a knowing glance with Xiao Fan.

This is a long story, so I'll leave it at that for now.

Xiao Fan checked the system and found that he could now log out of the game normally outside the city.

He planned to log out of the game, go to the Login Administration Bureau, and change his coordinates to Dragon City. Anyway, he hadn't used up his coordinate change limit for the month, saving himself the trouble of traveling.

Before leaving, Xiao Fan suddenly thought of something and asked the man in black and Yun Zhongyao.

"Such a big thing happened tonight. If Shen Long is dead, that's fine. But if he's not dead and you two are safe and sound, won't he become suspicious?"

Yun Zhongyao removed her mask, revealing an absolutely beautiful face.

She smiled and explained.

"Don't worry, how could we be completely unprepared? After receiving the mission, I told the clan I had something to do and logged off the game, but I actually hid in the city waiting for nightfall. Shen Long didn't see me, so he won't guess what I was up to."

The man in black nodded. "Me too."

"OK."

Hearing what the two said, Xiao Fan felt relieved.

"I'll be going now, see you again sometime."

After saying that, Xiao Fan logged out of the game.

It was late at night in the game before I left, and it was also late at night when I returned to the Real World.

The Login Administration Bureau is open 24 hours a day, but this time when Xiao Fan returned, he found Login Administration Bureau even more desolate.

It's clearly the same as before, yet it gives off the feeling that it's about to be abandoned.

It's unclear whether it's the change in the architecture or the change in Xiao Fan's mindset.

A young, unfamiliar girl was sitting at the counter.

Perhaps the previous incident made the Login Administration Bureau more stringent in its management. When the young girl saw Xiao Fan coming, she was somewhat surprised but still politely inquired. When she learned that Xiao Fan was going to Dragon City, her surprise deepened.

Dragon City is located in the Level 90 Zone. Since the creation of Yanhuang City, few low-level players have chosen to go to Dragon City; it's usually high-level players.

But the boy in front of me looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. Could someone so young really go to Dragon City?

That's amazing!

Wait! The little girl suddenly remembered something, her eyes widening in surprise.

So young, yet so powerful, could it be... Jiu Chen!

The fact that they were from Sea City on the first day of the game had already spread.

Now the entire Sea City is proud of him.

Thinking of this, the young girl said nothing, but became even more enthusiastic and quickly helped Xiao Fan change seats.

After receiving the launcher, Xiao Fan entered the game again without waiting.

As soon as he went online, Xiao Fan was bombarded with messages from Zhou He.

The man in black must have reported the matter of the City of Kings to him.

Xiao Fan replied to Zhou He, telling him that he was online. Less than three minutes later, Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng came to pick him up.

The first thing they did upon meeting was to offer me a city.

Xiao Fan left Yanhuang City after using up his contribution points, and now he's joining.

"Jiu Chen, tell me quickly, what kind of creature is that bird? Is it really your pet?"

Jian Qingfeng couldn't wait to ask.

Xiao Fan pursed his lips, thankful that Zijin had gone to sleep because it was exhausted; otherwise, if Jian Qingfeng had said that, it might have gotten up and given him a lightning strike.

"Her name is Zijin. She's not my pet, but Contract Beast that I've made a pact with. As for Zijin's true identity, I don't know. It's probably a game restriction; the system automatically blocks it whenever Zijin mentions her identity."

Xiao Fan said everything he could.

As for his shared fate with Zijin and his identity Spirit Beast, Xiao Fan chose to conceal them.

This matter concerns his and Zijin's lives, so Xiao Fan won't speak about it lightly.

"A contract? There's such a thing?" Jian Qingfeng's eyes lit up with excitement. "Where did you contract your bird? I want to contract one too..."

Xiao Fan: "The Myriad Phenomena Tower has seven floors."

Jian Qingfeng: "Excuse me!"

With Xiao Fan having such a powerful Contract Beast, Zhou He felt much more at ease, no longer needing to worry about Xiao Fan's safety.

Now, the nation's development in the Cloud Sea is completely inseparable from Xiao Fan.

The three of them went to Zhou He's office.

Xiao Fan told the two how to quickly upgrade the city.

"Monster Region, Flower Valley, Seven-Colored Deer."

Zhou He looked deep in thought.

In fact, the country has been exploring the Monster Region, but because the Magic Beast are too powerful, they are not even in the same league as Fierce Beast, so there has been little progress.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, which server does the Jun Family use? How do they know so much and have such valuable items? It seems like their game server development is much faster than ours in Dragon Nation Server."

Xiao Fan Quan Zhong explaining the use of the Disconnector and the Capture Cage before asking any questions.

Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

After a long silence, Zhou He sighed softly.

"The server where the Jun Family is located is very complex."
