Server Merge Update

Game Announcement: Dear players, all servers of the Cloud Sea will undergo maintenance in 30 minutes, which is expected to last one day. Please log out of the game before the maintenance begins, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!

The Dragon Nation Server has already undergone two server shutdowns for maintenance, and everyone is well aware of the consequences of not logging off. After seeing the game announcement, they promptly logged out of the game.

"Fortunately, the service was only suspended for one day this time," Xiao Fan said thankfully.

He has 26 days left before entering the Life and Death Contest. During this time, he has many urgent things to do, and a long hiatus would be very disadvantageous for him.

Seeing that the server was about to shut down, Xiao Fan, his uncle, and aunt logged out of the game together.

Ding! Player has temporarily logged out of <Cloud Sea>. Do you wish to materialize attribute points?

"Yes."

Ding! Player has temporarily logged out of <Cloud Sea>. Do you wish to materialize your Contract Beast?

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up instantly.

"The Zijin can be materialized, that's wonderful!"

Xiao Fan was ecstatic. He still had one free manifestation attempt left. He had been debating whether to use it on his Profession or his God King Skill. Now that he saw that the Zijin could be manifested, Xiao Fan knew that he would be irresponsible to himself if he hesitated for even a second.

"Yes."

Ding! Your Contract Beast has been detected as a growth-type Spirit Beast. It requires 999,999,999,999 Core Power to materialize. Do you wish to pay?

Xiao Fan craned his neck, trying hard to count the nines, but his eyes were blurry and he still couldn't count them all.

"Never mind, I wasn't planning on using Core Power anyway."

"Yes."

Ding! We have detected that you have one free manifestation attempt. Would you like to use it to manifest Contract Beast?

"Yes."

We apologize, but your Contract Beast is currently in a special period and cannot be brought to life.

Xiao Fan: I %#￥%0#￥...

"It's absurd to waste so much time here like this."

Xiao Fan's face darkened.

It's obvious that the Zijin cannot manifest because it hasn't undergone the Lightning Tribulation yet.

"Never mind, I'll use it next time."

Xiao Fan clicked exit, and the next second he felt a suffocating sensation.

"Holy crap! Don't push!"

This time, the entire server was shut down for maintenance. With the addition of a bunch of students in the Novice Village, the Login Administration in Sea City was almost overwhelmed. Even the security guards were nowhere to be found.

This is still Fierce Beast is about to invade reality. The Login Administration in Sea City has already demolished two walls, leaving it open on both sides. Otherwise, with so many players logging in Login Administration would have collapsed long ago.

Xiao Fan hurriedly searched for his uncle in the crowd.

Xiao Yi has no legs; he can't possibly squeeze through with so many people.

Soon, Xiao Fan heard shouts coming from not far away.

"Please stop pushing! There's a disabled person here. Don't push and cause a stampede."

"Huh? A disabled person dares to play games? That's a real brave man."

"If all else fails, lift him up and send him out over your head. It's not good for him to be limping around in there like this."

Xiao Fan knew immediately that it was his uncle.

"Luckily, I manifested wings when I exited the game."

With his attribute points activated, Xiao Fan leaped into the air, soaring three meters into the sky.

"Oh no! Someone's jumping on us!"

"Who's this bastard? Playing like this is suicidal!"

The surrounding players gasped in surprise upon seeing this.

There are people piled on top of each other below. If this person jumps that high, they'll probably kill at least seven or eight people when they fall.

This is utterly ridiculous!

Just as everyone was filled with fear, Xiao Fan, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly spread out a pair of golden wings on his back, and his falling body stopped abruptly, standing steadily in the air.

He glanced down and immediately saw Xiao Yi, who was being held high above the crowd.

Xiao Fan gave a speechless twitch at the corner of his mouth.

With a light flap of its wings, it instantly flew to Xiao Yi's side.

Xiao Yi was held up listlessly. He knew everyone meant well, but was this dignified?

Waaah, when will he be able to gather enough Core Power to materialize his precious Profession?

Just then, a hand grabbed his arm, and Xiao Yi's body was pulled into the air.

He turned around and saw his once-in-a-millennium genius nephew.

Looking at the golden wings on Xiao Fan's back, Xiao Yi was so excited he almost cried.

"Xiao Fan, you've manifested wings? That's great! Now I don't have to be carried around like that anymore."

Upon seeing Xiao Fan and his companion, Liu Xiujuan in the crowd immediately raised her hands.

"I'm here."

Xiao Fan flew over with Xiao Yi, then grabbed his aunt Liu Xiujuan with his other hand, flapped his wings and flew away into the distance, leaving the Login Administration in the blink of an eye.

"Waaah~ Bro, couldn't you just give me a hand?"

Xiao An and Xiao Le watched their three loved ones disappear in the blink of an eye, tears streaming down their faces.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone reacted, Xiao Fan and his two companions had already vanished.

"Holy crap! What did I just see? Wings? That guy actually grew wings?"

"Is that a person? Why would a person grow wings? It's unbelievable."

"Ah, I remember now, that person is the Great God Jiu Chen! The Great Jiu Chen has a pair of golden wings like this in the game, he must have materialized his wings this time."

"Who? The Great God Jiu Chen? Really? I actually saw the Great God Jiu Chen?"

"The great god Jiu Chen was standing right next to me just now, we were even touching! I'm so excited. I'll keep this outfit forever."

Since Xiao Fan led the Dragon Nation to victory in the server-wide challenge individual competition, his fame has grown even more, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a national idol.

His appearance excited the players at the Login Administration Bureau for a long time.

Xiao Fan was unaware of all this; at that moment, he had already flown home with his uncle and aunt.

Xiao Fan frowned. He felt like he had missed something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

It wasn't until Xiao An and Xiao Le returned home exhausted and utterly dejected that Xiao Fan realized his younger cousins had also entered the game.

How have you two been lately?

Xiao Yi awkwardly scratched his head and casually started a conversation.

When it comes to life in Zone 18, Xiao An and Xiao Le are finally revived.

The two excitedly recounted their lives in the Zone 18.

With the Heaven-Tier Skill created for them by Xiao Fan, Xiao An and Xiao Le had an incredibly enjoyable time in the game.

The two now have their own dedicated team, and the team is quite strong.

"We've already reached level ten. We heard that the Level 10 Trial Secret Realm is extremely difficult, and we haven't tried it yet. We heard that if it weren't for you leading the team to achieve the first clear of this dungeon, Zone 18 would still be a desolate Novice Village."

"Brother, you're amazing! Tell us about this secret place too!"

Xiao An and Xiao Le sat on either side of Xiao Fan, looking at him with admiration.

Xiao Fan waved his hand. "It's not that amazing. I led a group and we cleared it in one go, it wasn't difficult at all."

Xiao An and Xiao Le's eyes lit up even more; they were too strong.

The first time you clear the secret realm is the hardest; the difficulty decreases with each subsequent clear.

The Level 10 Trial Secret Realm is no longer considered difficult, but Xiao Fan still explained the specific methods to the two of them.

When Xiao Fan returned to his room that evening, he saw that someone had added him as a friend.

"It's her?"
