Wang Pengfei Seeks Help

The event went by very quickly.

These past few days, Xiao Fan has been leading his team to explore and level up. With the help of I Kick Your Lung, they have reaped many valuable rewards.

Xiao Fan's level is approaching level ninety.

If it were a normal leveling-up, he should be over level 90 by now. However, because he's in a team and can't fight high-level monsters, his experience gain has been reduced, which is why he's leveling up a bit slower.

However, he was still quite satisfied with what he received.

The event ends tomorrow, and on the last night, Xiao Fan led his team to play until very late before finally finding a temporary gathering place for players.

After Xiao Fan brought out the house, the team began to form groups and start fighting on the battlefield.

These days, as their battlefield level increases and their win rate reaches 100%, the opponents they are matched with are getting stronger and stronger, and others are finding it very difficult to compete.

Soon, the five games ended, marking another hard-fought five-game winning streak.

Thinking about going to the Monster Region tomorrow, Xiao Fan gave everyone some instructions with some apprehension.

"I'm going to the Monster Region tomorrow, so be careful when you're leveling up in the wild, especially watch out for those with Cannon."

"Although Heavenly Fire, there were so many people gathered there at the time. Sooner or later, Cannon will find out that we were the ones who did it."

"He'll definitely try to retaliate then, but I gave them false information, which should hold them off for a while. Anyway, you all need to be careful."

"If all else fails, you can level up at the training grounds near the city. If you need anything, you can also Lord Xu for help; he can get there in time. Before you leave, I'll have him look after you."

Xiao Fan was very worried, but he was also genuinely angry at what he saw.

Dragon Nation players were humiliated and even allowed to post in the world chat that Dragon Nation players are trash.

As a member of the Dragon Nation, how could Xiao Fan tolerate this?

He didn't regret killing the Cannon's son; what he regretted was letting those around him see his family and comrades.

"I should have gone in alone."

Anyway, now that he's changed his expression, the Cannon definitely won't be able to find him.

However, it's too late to say all this now. Xiao Fan only hopes that the false information from the City of Kings can delay the Cannon for a while longer until he returns.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, we're not newbies. We're already quite strong. That Cannon might not be a match for us."

The fat man patted his chest, looking very confident.

He's not bragging, but the era of Cannon is long gone.

It's just Heaven-Tier Skill; their team has quite a few Heaven-Tier Skill now. They're just a bit lower level, but they have teamwork and tactics, so they might not be much worse than Cannon.

"Don't worry, Xiao Fan, we'll be careful. It will definitely be dangerous for you when you enter the Monster Region, so you must be careful too."

Xiao Yi looked at his nephew and sighed inwardly.

He knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't protect his younger generation like a normal parent.

All he could do was to keep Xiao Fan from worrying and let him focus on his own business.

Xiao Fan nodded and said nothing more.

There are less than two weeks left until the Life and Death Contest.

Xiao Fan didn't know just how dangerous this Life and Death Contest was, but in order to win, he had to work hard to strengthen himself.

"Huh?"

Just as Xiao Fan finished speaking and was about to go to sleep, the fat man suddenly made a questioning sound.

Everyone turned around and found him staring at thin air with a frown.

This is clearly someone looking at their friend's information.

"What's up, Fatty? Who messaged you?"

The Zai Zai stepped forward, put his arm around the fat man's shoulder, and asked.

The fat man shook his head.

"They weren't looking for me, they were looking for Brother Chen, but they couldn't add Brother Chen as a friend, so they added me instead."

"Looking for me?"

Xiao Fan turned around with a puzzled look.

After becoming famous, he set his friends list to be unavailable.

But who wants to find him?

"Yes, it's someone named Wang Tengfei. Do you know him, Brother Chen?"

The fat man nodded and asked.

"Wang Pengfei?"

Xiao Fan frowned. Even after he had sorted through all the memories in his mind, he still couldn't find anyone named Wang Pengfei.

"I don't know him."

Xiao Fan affirmed.

Since he became famous, too many players want to add him as a friend.

Players who see he has friend restrictions will give up, but players who directly contact his friends must have something important to say.

"Ask them how they found you," Xiao Fan said.

"Good."

The fat man quickly replied, a moment later.

"Brother Chen, he said he asked a teacher at his school. He's also a student at Sea City No. 1 High School. By the way, he's only in Zone 18 right now, so he probably hasn't left the Novice Zone yet."

"Sea City No. 1 High School, Novice Zone! Zone 18!"

"Could it be Xiao An and Xiao Le?"

Xiao Fan's first thought was of his younger cousins.

"I hope nothing bad has happened to them."

Xiao Fan was startled.

Liu Xiujuan, who was standing to the side, seemed to have guessed Xiao Fan's worries and quickly spoke up.

"It shouldn't be Xiao An and Xiao Le. They just let me know they're safe and sound, and said they'll be leaving the Novice Zone soon."

Hearing his aunt say that, Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

After upgrading without purchasing with Core Power, new players will no longer be able to get stuck at a certain level.

Adding to the recent events, it seems Xiao An and Xiao Le are indeed close to leaving the Novice Zone.

"If it wasn't them who had the accident, then why is this person contacting me?"

Xiao Fan was puzzled and turned to the fat man.

Give me his ID.

Xiao Fan didn't think it was important; this person wouldn't add him through the fat man.

Xiao Fan added this newbie player named Wang Pengfei based on the ID sent by the fat guy.

The other party seemed to be in a hurry and got straight to the point.

"Greetings, Great God Jiu Chen. I am Xiao An and Xiao Le's classmate. I'm calling you today because I'm desperate. Someone has approached me, forcing me to kill Xiao An and Xiao Le. I had no other choice but to come to you."

"What? Someone wants to harm Xiao An and Xiao Le?"

Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and an intense killing intent instantly surfaced in his eyes, making his aura instantly turn cold and terrifying.

Everyone else present noticed the change in Xiao Fan's aura.

Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan, the couple, felt a pang of anxiety and rushed forward, their voices filled with concern. "What's wrong, Xiao Fan? Has something happened to Xiao An and Xiao Le?"

Knowing how much the two men cared for their two children, Xiao Fan didn't hide anything and told them everything Wang Pengfei had told him.

"What? Someone is actually plotting to harm Xiao An and Xiao Le?"

After hearing the whole story, Liu Xiujuan felt dizzy and swayed slightly, almost losing her balance.

Xiao Yi reacted quickly, reaching out to support his wife and gently comforting her.

"Don't panic, relax. The two children are fine right now, nothing's happened. The person who wanted to harm Xiao An and Xiao Le chose to have someone else do it, which means they themselves can't enter the Novice Zone."

Xiao Yi calmed himself down and analyzed the situation rationally.

"Currently, most of the personnel stationed in Zone 18 are government officials. That person knows he can't take matters into his own hands, so he's resorting to coercion and bribery towards their classmates, trying to use others to harm Xiao An and Xiao Le. As long as An'an and Lele don't leave the Novice Zone for the time being, the other party won't have any opportunity to take advantage of them, and nothing will happen."

After listening to her husband's reasonable analysis, Liu Xiujuan's tense nerves relaxed slightly, her panicked emotions calmed down a lot, and she realized that things had not yet reached the worst point.

Seeing that the two looked a little more relaxed, Xiao Fan quickly reassured them, "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry too much. Let me explain the situation first, and then we'll make a plan."

"Um."

The couple nodded.

On the Zone 18 side, Wang Pengfei was already feeling anxious and uneasy. Before Xiao Fan could even ask any questions, he hurriedly recounted the whole story.

According to him, when he and his group of students were preparing to enter the game world, a man approached him.

The other party promised that as long as he was willing to help him, he would let Wang Pengfei enter the Zone 18 smoothly.

Everyone knows that Zone 18 is currently the best of all the Novice Zone in terms of resources, environment, and security. Every student dreams of entering this Novice Zone.

Faced with such a temptation, Wang Pengfei agreed without hesitation.

He then hurriedly tried to explain himself.

"Great God Jiu Chen, I truly had no idea at the time. I never imagined that their purpose was to have me personally kill Xiao An and Xiao Le."

"A few days ago, that person suddenly contacted me again, asking me to buy a bottle of potion from the Trading House. They said I should find an opportunity to spray the potion on Xiao An and Xiao Le."

"Although I don't know what the potion is, I have a feeling it's not a good thing."

"Although I didn't get along well with Xiao An and Xiao Le before, and we had occasional friction, I never thought of killing them."

At this moment, Wang Pengfei's face showed fear, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

He actually knew why the man had come to him, but when it came time to actually take action, Wang Pengfei was afraid.

Although he was jealous of Xiao An and Xiao Le, he never intended to kill them.

Given Jiu Chen's current prestige in the Dragon Nation, Wang Pengfei was certain that if he dared to make a move, Jiu Chen would definitely not let him off.

But if he didn't take action, that man wouldn't let him go.

After much deliberation, Wang Tengfei finally chose to seek protection from Xiao Fan.

Thinking of this, Wang Pengfei continued speaking.

"That man has connections everywhere; he can even control things like dividing the Novice Zone. The power behind him must be unfathomable. I dare not disobey his orders, for fear that he will secretly eliminate me the moment I leave the Novice Zone."

"But I don't want to hurt Xiao An and Xiao Le..."

"On one hand, I am threatened with death; on the other hand, I am tormented by my conscience, Great God Jiu Chen! I have been driven to the brink of desperation, which is why I have mustered the courage to come to you for help."

After listening to Wang Pengfei's explanation, Xiao Fan immediately guessed who was behind the plot to harm Xiao An and Xiao Le.

The Bai Family.

"It's definitely them!"

The Bai Family, being a family of Doctor, had previously developed Healing Potion.

They are absolutely right to harm people with drugs.

Previously, Xiao Fan used the remaining Water of Life and the official research team to develop a more effective Healing Potion, which he then sold to other players at a lower price.

This situation forced the Bai Family to close their shops in Yanhuang City, resulting in heavy losses.

Xiao Fan understood perfectly that they hated themselves.

But what they shouldn't have done was lay a hand on their own family members.

They're still my younger brothers and sisters in the Novice Zone.

That's so vicious!

"A family renowned for medicine, yet they use their drugs to harm innocent people. The Bai Family, truly despicable."

Xiao Fan's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.

However, Wang Pengfei is definitely not as innocent as he claims; he may have known all along why the Bai Family was looking for him.

Fortunately, he stopped in the end, didn't actually harm his younger siblings, and even told me about it.

"Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to deal with the Bai Family lately."

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan replied to Wang Pengfei.

"You did a great job. I've been very busy lately and might not be able to look after you all. How about this, you and An'a Lele shouldn't leave the Novice Zone yet. Wait until I let you out before you come out."

"Don't worry, I'll compensate you double for the rewards and experience you missed after you leave the Novice Zone."

This was the best solution Xiao Fan could think of.

Since the Novice Zone is the safest, let them stay there for now.

Moreover, he is currently facing the ticking time bomb of Cannon, and has no time to protect the younger players in the Novice Zone.

Wang Pengfei replied instantly after the message was sent.

"Understood, great one. You go ahead with your business. I'm perfectly fine here. You'll need to talk to Xiao An and Xiao Le."

"Okay, I understand."

After Xiao Fan turned off the message, he told Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan everything.

"Xiao Fan's idea is good. We are currently facing the threat of Cannon, and Xiao An and Xiao Le are indeed safer staying in the Novice Zone. I'll talk to them right away."

Liu Xiujuan couldn't wait to open her friends list and send a message.

Xiao Yi sighed.

"Lele told me today that they'd almost reached level 20 and could reunite with us, but I never expected something like this to happen."

Xiao Yi merely sighed, without complaining.

The safety of children is far more important than family reunion.

Xiao An and Xiao Le were somewhat disappointed after receiving the news.

After all, they've been looking forward to the Novice Zone since level 15, but now they have to wait a long time.

However, the two obediently agreed.

After the matter was resolved, everyone dispersed.

At this moment, inside the largest temporary gathering place in the White Nation.

A tall, burly white man exuded a menacing aura. His eyes were wide open, his face full of anger, and his sharp gaze swept over his subordinates standing in a row below. The powerful pressure made everyone afraid to even breathe.

This man is none other than Cannon!

At this moment, his fists were clenched, his chest heaving violently, and his suppressed anger was about to break through his reason.

"Speak! How exactly did the young master die!"

As the strongest player in the White Nation, after the servers merged, he followed the nation to find the location where they built their city and the Gem Mine that remained after the merge.

That belongs to their White Nation; they can't leave it to players from other countries.

In their haste to find the two Gem Mine, they even missed the event's opening hours.

As a result, on this trip, not only did the Cannon fail to find Gem Mine, but when he checked his friend list, he found that his son had also gone offline.

That was his only son!

Although he can still have children now, these are the result of long-term cultivation!

This infuriated the Cannon, which ignored the others' attempts to stop it and charged back.
