Ye Bugu

"You... what did you just say?" The Black-Clad Girl looked at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

If she hadn't misheard, Xiao Fan just said he would help someone create a Heaven-Tier Skill?

!!!!!

Does he even hear what he's saying!

What does he think a Heaven-Tier Skill is? A head of cabbage?

Ten years since the game descended, there are only four Heaven-Tier Skills globally, and every owner of one is the number one powerhouse of their respective nation!

This person actually said he wants to help someone create a Heaven-Tier Skill!

This... this is simply...

Absurd!

Her good upbringing kept the Black-Clad Girl from uttering mocking words, but the way she looked at Xiao Fan was as if she were looking at a fool.

"Just deliver my message; you don't need to worry about the rest."

Xiao Fan's mind was currently entirely focused on saving people, and for that, he was willing to reveal a sliver of his strength.

The Black-Clad Girl fell silent.

She suddenly realized that the person in front of her was not an ordinary Player; he was very likely a genius who had created two Heaven-Tier Skills.

The Black-Clad Girl remained calm on the surface, but inside, she was roaring.

"Ahhh! I want a Heaven-Tier Skill too! If only I could be the one to help him find someone!"

Seeing that the Black-Clad Girl hadn't moved, Xiao Fan frowned, suppressing his inner impatience: "Can you help me ask?"

In truth, Xiao Fan would have preferred to get Ye Bugu's contact information to speak with him personally, but he feared his friend request would be rejected, so for now, he had to rely on the Black-Clad Girl to pass the message.

"Fine."

The Black-Clad Girl gave Xiao Fan a deep look and opened her game interface to operate it.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan finally let out a sigh of relief.

In the Cloud Sea, once you leave the Novice Zone, danger is everywhere.

Over the years, various nations have attempted to build game Safe Zones outside the Novice Zone, sparing no expense in resources to do so.

However, every time, before the Safe Zone could be completed, it would be destroyed by Fierce Beasts, often resulting in significant casualties.

As time passed, the nations abandoned this plan, replacing it with various Player gathering spots.

These Player gathering spots only had simple walls and escape gates on all four sides; once a Fierce Beast invaded, the Players would immediately abandon the site.

At this moment, in the central area of one such Player gathering spot, a dozen tents occupied the space—this was the temporary base of the Night Blade Mercenary Group.

Inside a tent, a man in his late twenties looked at his friend chat box with a serious expression; he was the leader of the Night Blade Mercenary Group.

"A rookie who hasn't even left the Novice Zone claims he can help me create a Heaven-Tier Skill? What a big mouth!"

The man sneered. If it weren't for the fact that the person messaging him was Qin Muyu, a genius from the Qin Family, one of the Four Great Families of the Dragon Nation, he would have blocked the person long ago.

The difficulty of creating a Heaven-Tier Skill is akin to ascending to heaven; this can be seen from the fact that there are only four such skills globally.

No, wait! Including the two Heaven-Tier Skills that appeared a month ago, there should be six now.

Over the past ten years, how many brilliant talents have appeared in the game? Their ultimate goal has always been to create a Heaven-Tier Skill.

But over these years, how many have actually succeeded?

A rookie, what right does he have to say such things?

Ye Bugu sneered and typed out a rejection, but the moment he went to click confirm, he hesitated.

"What if... what if it's true?"

That is a Heaven-Tier Skill, after all!!!

Setting aside the God-Tier Skill that appeared a few days ago, possessing a Heaven-Tier Skill is the dream of almost every Player.

Even if there were only a sliver of a chance, he didn't want to give it up.

Furthermore, when he reached level 60, the trait he rolled was very special.

He had racked his brain for a long time but couldn't come up with a good skill; he even suspended the mercenary group's operations to focus on creating a skill, yet until now, he hadn't had a single clue.

Now, someone had appeared, claiming they could help him create a Heaven-Tier Skill. Even knowing the possibility was low, Ye Bugu still felt a spark of hope he shouldn't have.

"What am I even struggling with? It's just a waste of time anyway; if he can't create it, I won't lose anything, right?"

Ye Bugu gave a self-deprecating laugh. He had become so cautious over the years that he had forgotten that what was placed before him was an extremely unfair trade.

Well, extremely unfair to the other party.

Taking a step back, if he felt the skill the other party created wasn't good, he could choose not to use it, and there would be no loss.

Thinking of this, Ye Bugu couldn't wait to delete the rejection message and typed only one sentence.

"Send me his game ID."

Zone 18.

Qin Muyu's eyes widened as she saw the message sent by Ye Bugu.

"He actually agreed?"

Qin Muyu found it hard to believe. Given Ye Bugu's cautious nature, she never expected him to trust Xiao Fan's words, especially since he didn't know that Xiao Fan possessed two Heaven-Tier Skills.

"Did he agree?" Xiao Fan asked anxiously, noticing the change in Qin Muyu's expression.

"Yeah." Qin Muyu nodded. "He asked me for your contact information; it looks like he wants to talk to you directly."

Xiao Fan quickly recited his game ID.

Looking at the level five account ID Qin Muyu had sent, Ye Bugu fell into doubt once again. Had this person even been in the game for three months?

"I must be insane to actually trust a level five novice."

Ye Bugu shook his head and sent a friend request.

A moment later, Xiao Fan received two friend requests.

One was level zero with the ID Soul Piercer, and the other was level 60 with the ID Shadow.

Xiao Fan looked up at Qin Muyu; if he wasn't mistaken, Soul Piercer was her.

"We're going to be teammates, so let's add each other," Qin Muyu explained when she saw Xiao Fan looking at her.

"Right." Xiao Fan acknowledged and accepted both friend requests.

On the other end, seeing that Xiao Fan had accepted the request, Ye Bugu couldn't wait to send a message.

"Can you really help me create a Heaven-Tier Skill?"

Xiao Fan replied, "Of course, but you have to agree to help me find someone."

Ye Bugu: "As long as you can help me create a Heaven-Tier Skill, never mind finding someone, I'd even call you 'daddy' if I had to."

Xiao Fan: ...Why is this guy so eager to take advantage of others?

"No problem. I need to know your stats and traits." Xiao Fan thought for a moment and added, "If possible, tell me about the weapon you use and the Skill Chain you've created so far."

Ten minutes passed after Xiao Fan sent the message, but he didn't receive a reply from Ye Bugu.

"Why isn't he replying?" Xiao Fan frowned.

On the other side, Ye Bugu remained silent for a long time.

Sending his stats, traits, and weapon to Xiao Fan was fine. But apart from the four-ring chain from the Novice Zone, the rest of his Skill Chain had been created by his own hand, and the final ring was even a priceless Earth-Tier Skill!

If he sent that over, he feared the other party might learn it or leak it to others.

Especially the latter; having his skills exposed was far too dangerous for someone with as many enemies as he had!

Just as Ye Bugu was struggling with what to do, Xiao Fan sent another message.

"It's fine if you don't want to send your skills or weapon. I only wanted to create a more suitable skill based on your Skill Chain; please don't misunderstand."

Seeing Xiao Fan say this, Ye Bugu breathed a sigh of relief.

"My apologies. My weapons and skills are my private business and I'd rather not share them with others, but I will send you my stats and traits right now."
