Informing About the God-Tier Skill

"Xiaofan, do you have any ideas?" Liu Xiujuan walked urgently to Xiao Fan, grabbing his arm as a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes.

Rationally, she knew Xiao Fan was just a novice Player who had just entered the game, with limited ability. Yet, at this moment, an inexplicable sense of trust welled up in her heart.

"Brother, do you really have a way to save Dad?" Xiao An and Xiao Le stood up together, looking at Xiao Fan with hopeful expressions.

Xiao Fan nodded, looking at the three of them reassuringly: "We can hire Mercenaries to help us find Uncle."

"Mercenaries." The light that had just ignited in Liu Xiujuan's eyes dimmed visibly.

Hiring Mercenaries was a good idea, but the fees for those Mercenaries were exorbitant. The family still owed money to others; where would they find the funds to hire them?

Furthermore, Mercenaries only accepted Core Power, and that was something they couldn't even borrow if they tried.

Liu Xiujuan's grip on Xiao Fan's arm loosened and fell away. At this moment, she seemed to lose all her strength, her lips parting as she struggled to find words.

The desperate embarrassment brought on by poverty left her feeling awkward in front of the three children, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Aunt's pale lips, Xiao Fan guessed her thoughts and immediately spoke up: "You don't need to worry about the money; I will take care of it."

"You..." Hearing this, Liu Xiujuan was stunned for a moment, and after coming to her senses, her feelings were complicated.

Xiao Fan was just a novice Player who had entered the game a month ago; how much Core Power could he possibly have earned?

He must be planning to go to dangerous places to earn Core Power for the sake of his uncle.

He really is...

Thinking back, when Xiao Fan's parents passed away, she had no objections to her husband adopting him.

But over the years, her husband had treated this nephew better than his own children, and Liu Xiujuan had felt some resentment.

The family was poor, and there was only so much to go around; the more Xiao Fan received, the less Xiao An and Xiao Le got. How could a parent's heart ever feel balanced?

Yet, every time she thought about how Xiao Fan had lost his parents at such a young age, she felt a pang of pity for the child.

Today, with her husband in trouble and her children still young, this nephew was willing to risk his life to earn money to save her husband.

Liu Xiujuan felt a warmth in her chest, a touch of emotion she had never felt before; her husband's years of sacrifice had been worth it.

But then again, she absolutely could not let her brother-in-law's only child take such risks.

"Xiaofan, you are still a novice Player; I cannot let you take risks. If something happens to you while trying to save your uncle, even if he comes back, he will never forgive me."

Looking at the worry in Aunt's eyes, Xiao Fan was touched. Although he was not the original owner of this body, at this moment, he truly felt the selfless love of family.

"Don't worry, Aunt. I currently have over 500,000 Core Power; that is enough to hire Mercenaries to find someone," Xiao Fan explained.

"500,000 Core Power!"

Liu Xiujuan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

As a former Player, she knew very well how hard it was to earn Core Power in Cloud Sea. For a novice like Xiao Fan to have earned over 500,000 in just one month was absolutely impossible.

He must be trying to act tough just to put my mind at ease.

This child is too sensible.

Thinking this, the expression with which Liu Xiujuan looked at Xiaofan softened: "Xiaofan, I know you want to save your uncle, but Aunt really cannot let you take risks. Be a good boy, and just help look after your younger brother and sister in the future."

Xiao Fan fell silent.

Does Aunt not believe him?

Thinking of the 100,000 Dragon Nation Currency he had exchanged today, Xiao Fan took out his phone and transferred the money to her.

"Aunt, I really did earn 500,000 in Cloud Sea. When I logged out today, I even exchanged 100,000 to help with household expenses. The money has already been transferred to you."

Hearing this, Liu Xiujuan picked up her phone and, sure enough, saw that Xiao Fan had transferred 100,000 to her.

Xiao Fan thought that seeing the money would make his aunt believe him, but he didn't expect her expression to turn instantly serious.

"Xiao Fan, Cloud Sea is far more dangerous than you imagine. If you want to survive in Cloud Sea in the future, keep your Core Power to improve your strength. If you just want to make money, then leave the game and find a proper job; you can support yourself that way."

Xiao Fan: "I really have 500,000."

"A novice earning 500,000 Core Power in a month—did you hunt a dragon?" Liu Xiujuan said with some disappointment. Sometimes, when people are too stubborn, they appear arrogant, and she didn't want Xiao Fan to be that kind of person.

Xiao Fan: "...I didn't hunt a dragon."

"Alright, Xiaofan, you've worked hard this month; get some good rest at home for two days. I..." Before Liu Xiujuan could finish, she heard Xiao Fan's calm, unhurried voice.

"I created a God-Tier Skill, and the game system rewarded me with 550,000 Core Power." Xiao Fan confessed truthfully; he was afraid that if he didn't explain the source of the money, his aunt wouldn't believe him.

"Huh?" Liu Xiujuan was completely bewildered.

Seven days had passed, and because the owner of the God-Tier Skill had not been found, the news of a God-Tier Skill appearing in the game had not yet spread widely among ordinary people.

"Xiaofan, what are you talking about? What God-Tier Skill? Stop joking around. What kind of skill would the system reward with 550,000 Core Power?"

In Liu Xiujuan's understanding, the most powerful skills were Heaven Rank. She didn't even know what the God-Tier Skill Xiao Fan mentioned was.

Beside them, Xiao An and Xiao Le had clearly heard about the God-Tier Skill, and both of them widened their eyes in shock.

"Brother, that God-Tier Skill was created by you?"

"Brother, you are the owner of the God-Tier Skill?"

Xiao An and Xiao Le gasped, looking at Xiao Fan in disbelief, their eyes as if they were seeing him for the first time.

Xiao Fan nodded indifferently: "That's right, the only God-Tier Skill in Cloud Sea was created by me."

Xiao Fan and Xiao Le: (´⊙ω⊙)!!!!

Liu Xiujuan, standing to the side, was completely bewildered: "Xiao Fan, Xiao An, Xiao Le, what are you all talking about? What God-Tier Skill?"

After the shock subsided, Xiao Le took his mother Liu Xiujuan's hand and slowly explained: "I heard it from my teacher too. Seven days ago, someone in Cloud Sea created a new skill grade, which is the God-Tier Skill."

"It is speculated that God-Tier is a grade higher than Heaven-Tier. It's just a pity that after searching for seven days, no country in the world has been able to find the owner of this God-Tier Skill."

As Xiao Le spoke, his eyes turned toward Xiao Fan with pleasant surprise: "I never expected the owner of the God-Tier Skill to be my brother!"

Xiao An was also spinning around excitedly on the side, but then, seemingly recalling something, she let out a cold snort and said: "The White Race Nation even released news two days ago claiming that the one who created the God-Tier Skill was their nation's top powerhouse, Cannon Fire."

"Oh? There's such a thing?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

"You bet there is." Xiao Le also spoke indignantly: "It is said that Cannon Fire happened to reach level 95 seven days ago and created his nineteenth ring skill, right before the system announcement for the God-Tier Skill appeared. That's why many people believe he is the owner of the God-Tier Skill."

"However, I believe in you, brother." Xiao Le looked up, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Oh? Why is that?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

Xiao Le pouted: "With how arrogant and conceited Cannon Fire is, if he really were the owner of a God-Tier Skill, how could he possibly choose to remain anonymous in the announcement?"

Because of the unique nature of Cloud Sea, Players are as much in the spotlight as celebrities on Earth. Especially for powerful Players, everything from interviews and television shows to books and forums compiles their life stories and broadcasts them repeatedly.

Ordinary people have a certain level of understanding of them.

At this moment, Liu Xiujuan finally understood.

Her nephew, Xiao Fan, had created a God-Tier Skill in the game that was a grade higher than Heaven-Tier skills, and furthermore, it was the first and only God-Tier Skill in the game.

Liu Xiujuan: !!!!
