Curiosity

After the foreign players left in a panic, the once bustling temporary gathering place instantly became deserted.

In the vast arena, only a few dozen players from the Dragon Nation remained.

Having just experienced the provocation, humiliation, and life-or-death conflict caused by foreign players, all the Dragon Nation players present felt a sense of mutual respect and camaraderie.

In the face of danger, it was the fellow countrymen of the Dragon Nation who stood together and helped each other. This pure friendship moved everyone deeply.

"Everyone, get some rest tonight. We'll take care of the night watch and patrols!"

The speakers were several Dragon Nation players who had been harassed by the white youth earlier.

Xiao Fan offended a powerful enemy like the Cannon for their sake. Although he said he didn't care, they still felt a lot of guilt and unease.

They volunteer to patrol because they want to contribute something; otherwise, they'd feel guilty.

Nighttime is the most dangerous time in the wild, and with the current sparse population in the area, it is still very dangerous if no one is on duty or patrolling at night.

When someone is willing to take on this hard work, others naturally agree without hesitation.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Fan didn't stand on ceremony and readily agreed.

He still has to lead his troops to fight on the battlefield, so he really doesn't have time to manage the settlement.

After everyone else had left, Xiao Fan found a spacious and flat open space in the gathering area.

With a thought, Xiao Fan raised his hand and activated his storage ring, taking out the house from within.

The slight thud as the house landed instantly drew the attention of other players nearby.

Wow, they even need to buy a 7-house for a temporary gathering place.

The other players around them were filled with envy as they looked at the suddenly appearing house.

These people were unaware that Xiao Fan possessed a magical Space Ring; they simply assumed he had used his Core Power to temporarily purchase a house within the Construction System.

"That's too extravagant, too extravagant, incredibly luxurious!"

Looking at the large temporary building, everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although building materials are now very cheap in the Trading House, many players still exchange for houses in temporary gathering places in order to make their rest more comfortable.

This was the first time anyone had ever seen someone like Xiao Fan directly exchange for such a large temporary house.

This is an extremely extravagant and ostentatious display.

Ignoring the stares of those around him, Xiao Fan led his team into the house to rest.

Before long, Ye Bugu and Qin Muyu pushed open the door and entered.

"Are you two alright?" Xiao Fan asked, looking at the two of them.

"Okay." The two nodded, and then Qin Muyu said, "We've taken care of that group."

Ye Bugu chuckled, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "When we got there, those foreigners were huddled together discussing their story, trying to pin all the blame on us and exonerate themselves by asking the Cannon for credit."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "It doesn't seem to matter whose responsibility it is. Anyway, the Cannon will definitely avenge his son. We've made an enemy of him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan pursed his lips.

With his strength, he naturally had nothing to fear from Cannon.

Ye Bugu's ability to escape was honed through practice, so there's nothing to worry about.

However, Qin Muyu, his uncle, and the rest of the team are still in their development stage, and their strength has not yet fully matured.

If they were to be retaliated against by Cannon in the wild in the future, they would inevitably be in great danger.

But he really doesn't have a better solution right now.

Being fearful will only embolden the enemy.

When the time is right, you have to act.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan looked up at everyone and said in a deep voice, "From now on, when you go out of the city to level up, do quests, or explore secret realms, please be extra careful and try not to act alone."

The fat man was taken aback and blurted out, "Huh? Brother Chen, aren't you going to team up with us to level up from now on?"

"Hmm," Xiao Fan responded softly, speaking frankly.

"After this event concludes, I have several important matters to attend to, requiring me to travel to the Monster Region for training. I will likely be away for about two weeks."

With more than half a month to go before the Life and Death Contest competition begins, and given the gravity of the matter and the unknown dangers, Xiao Fan has no immediate plans to inform his teammates to avoid causing them worry.

Hearing his words, no one had any doubts or dissatisfaction; they simply nodded in understanding.

They knew in their hearts that Xiao Fan's strength far surpassed that of everyone else at the same level, and his vision and pursuits were completely different from theirs.

What he's about to do is something they can't help him with at their current level; in fact, they might even hinder him.

However, this is not because they are progressing too slowly.

In fact, among all players in the same group, their team's leveling speed and strength improvement progress have already far surpassed the vast majority of people, making them a top-tier team.

It can only be said that Xiao Fan's growth rate is too heaven-defying, progressing by leaps and bounds in an instant, far beyond the reach of ordinary people, and no one can keep up with his pace.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Fan did not continue the topic.

"Alright, let's put those aside for now and focus on finishing today's battle."

After saying that, Xiao Fan created a team, pulled everyone in, and immediately opened the battlefield matchmaking channel.

This time, it was the same familiar instant login speed, incredibly efficient.

It's clear that everyone really enjoys playing battlegrounds.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and today's five battles came to an end.

Xiao Fan Team once again achieved a clean and decisive five-game winning streak, a remarkable achievement.

However, he clearly noticed that the opponents he was matched with tonight were significantly stronger than those he had been yesterday.

Whether it's equipment attributes, tactical coordination, or level and combat power, they are all significantly stronger.

"It seems that the matchmaking system in the battlefield doesn't just consider players' battlefield level; the team's win rate is also a factor. If the win rate is too high, the team will be matched with players of higher skill levels."

Xiao Fan pondered to himself, and he roughly figured out the core rules of battlefield matchmaking.

"Even if our opponents become stronger, it still won't put any pressure on us."

Xiao Fan gave a wicked smile; that's how confident he was.

Two hours was his teammate's limit, but not his.

Today on the battlefield, he's still playing the role of healer, helping the team coordinate; otherwise, it could have been faster.

At the same time, Xiao Fan also noticed a detail.

Since the team started using "I Kick Your Lung," the quality and quantity of rewards they receive, whether in dungeon raids or battlefield battles, have increased significantly compared to before.

It has to be said that the other party's luck is simply incredible; they are indeed a chosen one who can obtain Colorful Supreme reward.

This incredible stroke of luck genuinely boosted the team's overall profits.

Putting everything else aside, they've already lost three precious City Building Token in just one day.

One of them is Level 5 City Building Token.

This is something even Xiao Fan, this Lucky One, wouldn't dare to dream of.

He suddenly became curious about the characteristics of "I Kick Your Lung".

Thinking of this, the vendor looked at "I Kick Your Lung."

"Sister Lung, what are your special characteristics?"
