The Scam

"You think I'd back out for a mere ten million Core Power? Who do you think you are? Don't you know who my father is?"

Ling Xiao craned his neck and roared, as if afraid that others hadn't heard him.

Who is your father?

Xiao Fan really didn't know.

"His father's name is Ling Feiyun, and he is the leader of the number one ranked gang, 'Lingyun Ambition'."

Qian Juduo leaned close to Xiao Fan and whispered his introduction.

"Gang rankings? Is there such a ranking on the Leaderboard?"

Xiao Fan frowned; he didn't recall having that.

"On the gang page."

Xiao Fan quickly brought up the game page, opened the guild system, and sure enough, saw a guild ranking.

Click to open.

At the top of the list is the gang <Lingyun Ambition>.

Ling Xiao noticed their actions and sneered as he spoke.

"A player who doesn't even know the guild rankings is talking about class change slots—that's really ridiculous!"

"Have you changed jobs?" Xiao Fan suddenly asked.

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"He'll never get a job change! Even his dad didn't get a job change, so how could it be his turn?"

In reality, no city has ranked Profession; all citizens can switch. However, for players with some ambition, who would want to switch to a Profession without ranks?

His dad is Leaderboard player; his future looks very promising!

You should never change Profession casually.

"You haven't even changed jobs yourself, yet you're claiming to give others the qualifications to do so? I think you're just lying."

Xiao Fan is now certain that Ling Xiao used the reputation of the number one guild to swindle the female player out of the Millennium Ginseng Fruit.

By interrupting the deal, he inadvertently did a good deed.

Ling Xiao's face flushed red with anger; he had indeed intended to deceive people.

But he didn't intend to make a big deal out of it. He figured that after obtaining the Millennium Ginseng Fruit, he would find an excuse to give the buyer a sum of Core Power, and that would be the end of it.

Now that Xiao Fan has brought this up, he's lost face, and he absolutely cannot admit it.

"I haven't changed Profession because there aren't any I like in Dragon City. My dad is the leader of the number one guild in the Cloud Sea, do you think I'd lack a job change slot?"

Ling Xiao stubbornly insisted.

Seeing this, Qian Juduo leaned closer to Xiao Fan and whispered something.

"<Lingyun Ambition> had always been ranked second, but a couple of days ago, the City of Kings was attacked by Magic Beast, Shen Sect, which was ranked first, lost many players and its strength dropped significantly. That's why <Lingyun Ambition> has now become number one."

Xiao Fan:...

Well, kid, your dad's gang got to take off thanks to me!

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm just asking if you dare to bet?" Xiao Fan pointed at Ling Xiao.

Since we're going to give out job change slots anyway, we might as well scam ten million Core Power while we're at it.

"I'm not afraid of you! Let's gamble!" Ling Xiao was completely enraged, pointing at the surrounding players.

"All the players here can be my witnesses; I, Ling Xiao, don't lack that little bit of Core Power."

Players who love a good show started to chime in after hearing what Ling Xiao said.

"That's right, I can be a witness for Young Master Ling."

"Me too!"

"We can all testify for Young Master Ling!"

Xiao Fan: Okay, then I'm relieved.

Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction at the reactions of those around him, and smugly gestured for Xiao Fan to proceed.

"Now, please begin your performance."

He wanted to see how a newbie could come up with two job change slots!

The others also looked on with expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

Xiao Fan smirked. "Then open your dog eyes and take a good look."

"You!" Ling Xiao said angrily.

"Can you really give me two job change slots?"

The hand that was about to Crush Your Bird was trembling with excitement. Seeing that Xiao Fan didn't seem to be lying, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

Xiao Fan nodded. "Two job change slots. Just apply to join Dragon City, then tell me your game ID. I'll have someone approve it and then give you the job change slots."

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes.

Do you really think you're someone important just because you need someone to approve your application?

Good! Good! Good! He wanted to see how long this loser could keep up the act!

"My name is Crush Your Bird!"

Xiao Fan:????

What a terrible name!

The important point is that he actually has birds.

"And the other one?" Xiao Fan took a deep breath and asked again.

I Kick Your Lung.

Xiao Fan:...

Is this game ID really respectable?

Xiao Fan sent the two IDs to Zhou He with a blank expression.

"So, did his people agree to let you join?"

Ling Xiao couldn't wait to ask the Crush Your Bird, and when he said "his people," he deliberately emphasized the words with a sarcastic tone.

Crush Your Bird Ling Xiao, she cautiously chose to join Dragon City.

"Application submitted to join Dragon City, awaiting review..."

Crush Your Bird makes you tense.

Was this person really not lying to me? Could she really join Dragon City?

I thought I would have to wait a long time, but the system notification appeared the next second.

Congratulations on becoming Dragon City Citizen!

Crush Your Bird's eyes will instantly make them widen in surprise.

This... they agreed just like that? Not even a second had passed?

Oh no! She's probably really met someone amazing!

Crush Your Bird and it will jump three feet high, trembling with excitement.

"I agree! I really agree! I've joined Dragon City!"

Swish--

As the sound of "Crush Your Bird" rang out, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

As a first-level safe city, Dragon City has a total of only 50,000 official citizen slots.

This number of slots is so large that even the officials themselves cannot fill them, let alone give them to outside players. Unless one makes a significant contribution, the country would absolutely not grant citizen slots at this stage.

But the man in front of her could make the seller a Dragon City Citizen.

Where did this amazing person come from? Is he really going to give this seller a job transfer opportunity?

It's like a tonic! Why did you have to become Profession god for no reason?!

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Ling Xiao lost his composure and shouted.

His father didn't even have a formal citizenship in Dragon City, so why should this poor loser just casually give it to someone else?

Is this reasonable?

Ling Xiao looked back and forth between Xiao Fan and the Crush Your Bird. Suddenly, he paused, as if he understood something.

"I see!"

Ling Xiao suddenly shouted at the crowd.

"Don't believe them, it's a scam!"

Upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, the surrounding players immediately inquired.

"Young Master Ling, what exactly is going on?"

Ling Xiao, looking as if he understood everything, pointed at Xiao Fan and the other person and sneered.

"These two are completely in cahoots! One of them is playing the seller, using the gimmick of bartering with the Millennium Ginseng Fruit to attract attention."

"Once someone falls for it, this man will reappear, interrupt the transaction, and boast that he can provide a city quota, then bet ten million Core Power with the buyer."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this seller will say she already has a job transfer slot. Anyway, we can't see her information, so we can just let her say whatever she wants."

Their real goal is to deceive Core Power!

Xiao Fan slammed his fist on the table in admiration.

This bastard is really working hard for ten million.
