Upon entering the Secret Realm, a Misty Forest as mysterious and eerie as a primeval forest appeared before everyone.
Besides Fatty and Qin Muyu, who were seeing it for the first time, the other five members of Xiao Fan Team were already accustomed to it.
Fatty suddenly felt a bit nervous and wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Fan gesture for silence, he immediately shut his mouth, hunched his head, and carefully hid behind the team.
Qin Muyu stood beside Xiao Fan; on the surface, she seemed better than Fatty, but her tense body still betrayed her nervousness.
Having cleared the Secret Realm so many times, Xiao Fan Team already knew the aggro range of the monsters like the back of their hands.
The five of them began to lure and kill monsters with the same tacit coordination as before.
Qin Muyu had been observing the team's operations from the side, and as they hunted more and more mobs, she finally understood why Xiao Fan Team dared to enter the Misty Forest with only five people.
It was because they had mastered Profession coordination!
Qin Muyu was deeply shocked. One had to know that Profession coordination was a strategy only researched in recent years, primarily involving assigning different roles in battle based on the teammates' varying weapons and skills.
At this stage, Profession coordination was only used by top-tier families and high-end teams. Average mid-to-high-level Players never even got to touch it.
This was because Profession coordination involved an even more high-end profession.
That was the Game Commander!
A Game Commander not only needed an extremely high understanding of the game but also had to know the Players' weapons and various skills. Furthermore, they had to adapt to the situation in real-time.
A capable and experienced commander was extremely rare.
Nowadays, the number of commanders in the entire Dragon Nation could be counted on one's fingers.
Qin Muyu looked at Xiao Fan's back in shock; given the level of coordination displayed by Xiao Fan Team, their group must have a very formidable commander.
She didn't even need to think to know that this commander was Xiao Fan.
At level five, he possessed two Heaven-Tier Skills, could create Heaven-Tier Skills on the fly based on other Players' attributes and traits, and could also serve as the team's commander.
"Jiu Chen, who exactly is he?"
More importantly, why would such a nearly perfect Player be assigned to Zone 18, a half-abandoned Novice Village?
Qin Muyu couldn't figure this out. She could only conclude that she was truly a chosen daughter of heaven!
From being a top genius of the Qin Family to being abandoned by her family and arriving at the worst Zone 18, she still managed to meet such an awesome Player as Xiao Fan and join his team.
Isn't this just the heavens chasing after her to feed her?
Qin Muyu suddenly had a premonition that as long as she followed Xiao Fan, she would definitely be able to walk a more glorious path in Cloud Sea.
No one would have guessed that beneath Qin Muyu's cold exterior lay such a confident soul.
As the team hunted more mobs, Qin Muyu gradually noticed a pattern. She pulled out a white dagger, and whenever she saw an opportunity, she would step up to deal some damage.
Xiao Fan saw this scene. He sighed silently in his heart.
"Sure enough, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse."
After Fatty transferred zones, he was penniless, yet Qin Muyu could still produce a weapon.
It went without saying that she had used her "money power."
Soon, the team arrived before the first Boss of the Secret Realm, the Dark Spider.
Fatty and Qin Muyu felt a bit of fear upon seeing the massive Dark Spider.
"You don't need to be afraid. Once the fight starts, you don't need to worry about damage; you just need to listen to my commands and dodge the skills."
"Got it, Brother Chen." Fatty nodded quickly, though his complexion still looked nervous; after all, at his current level, getting hit by a skill would basically mean he was done for.
Qin Muyu also nodded with a serious expression.
"Alright, start the fight."
Zai Zai took the lead, and the Boss's aggro instantly locked onto him.
Under Xiao Fan's skill Gift of the Saint, the four of them took turns drawing aggro to slowly chip away at its health.
This was the first time Qin Muyu had seen such a fighting style, and her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"So a Boss can be fought like this! This idea is... it's just too genius!"
Fatty had fought alongside Xiao Fan before and had experienced this kind of combat, so he wasn't as shocked as Qin Muyu!
Under Xiao Fan's reminders, the team faced no mishaps and easily defeated the first Boss.
However, the second Boss of the Secret Realm, the Forget-Me-Not Orchid, was a bit more difficult.
After all, this Boss was very dependent on Player attributes; if a Player's attributes were too low, they would be directly bewitched by the Boss.
If not for the skill Flower Grafting, Xiao Fan would never have dared to bring Fatty and the girl to the Secret Realm.
Xiao Fan swapped the Boss's attributes with the attributes of Fatty and the girl.
The level five Boss instantly took on the attributes of a zero-tier Player.
Garfield Without Garfield fired just one arrow, and before the effect of the Flower Grafting skill could even end, the Boss was already dead.
Xiao Fan sighed.
A God-Tier Skill is truly a God-Tier Skill!
It's just too damn powerful!
It's a pity that this skill can only be used once a day.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how strong he could become.
Among the group, everyone except Fatty had seen Xiao Fan use this skill during the Beast Tide, but seeing it again, they were still too shocked to speak.
They really wanted to crack open Xiao Fan's brain to see how on earth he came up with such... bizarre and unfathomable skills.
Fatty was completely dumbfounded; his mind was currently filled with questions like: Who am I? Where am I? What happened to my health bar?
Although that health bar had only appeared for a few seconds, it made him truly feel the strength of his body.
"Alright, let's go."
For the third Wild Boss, Xiao Fan was still responsible for drawing away the Entangle, and with his current agility, he basically wouldn't make any mistakes.
The only thing that needed attention was the randomly appearing Sapling.
The Sapling would randomly choose one Player to pursue, which meant there was a chance that Fatty and Qin Muyu could be targeted.
The damage wasn't considered high for Xiao Fan and the others, but for the Level 0 Fatty and Qin Muyu, it was enough to drain more than half of their health.
Therefore, for the third Wild Boss, Gift of the Saint could not be used recklessly.
If the two of them took damage while Xiao Fan's skill was on cooldown, it would be extremely dangerous.
"If you are pursued by a Sapling, you must stay calm and move away from the crowd."
After Xiao Fan instructed the two, he chose to engage the monster directly.
"Congratulations to your team for clearing the Level 5 Secret Realm Mist Forest, each person is rewarded with 1000 Core Power points."
Ten minutes later, as the system voice rang out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Fatty; when the Boss's health dropped below ten percent, a Sapling had targeted him. Under the level suppression, his health bar was almost wiped out, but fortunately, Xiao Fan activated his skill in time, and his health was restored.
However, seeing the 1000 Core Power already credited to his account, Fatty grinned.
"I didn't even earn a single point of Core Power in Zone 2 for a whole month, but I gained 1000 on my first day in Zone 18. Coming to Zone 18 with Brother Fan was definitely the right choice!"
Qin Muyu's beautiful eyes rested on Xiao Fan, shining with an intense light.
He really led us to clear a Level 5 Secret Realm.
Too strong! Too strong!
After exiting the Secret Realm, seeing that it was still early, the team hunted Fierce Beasts for a while longer and took down a Wild Boss before returning to the Novice Village.
When the moon rose, Xiao Fan began his one hour of moon-gazing.
Beep, beep, a message notification suddenly rang out.
Xiao Fan hurriedly opened the game interface, and sure enough, it was Ye Bugu.
