Return to Reality

Xiao Fan roughly understood the price of the materialized form.

It should be within 100, one attribute point equals 1000 Core Power; if it exceeds 100, one attribute point equals 10000 Core Power.

As for whether the price will rise again after 200 attribute points, Xiao Fan didn't know.

However, given Cloud Sea's track record, he thought it was quite possible.

No wonder attribute points aren't expensive, yet not many players are buying them.

<Cloud Sea> has its own "special" way of achieving balance.

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

"Yes."

Please select the skill to manifest.

Without hesitation, Xiao Fan chose his only damage skill, "<The Sun and Moon Rotation>".

Ding! <Sun and Moon Rotation> has been detected as a Heaven-Tier Skill. Manifestation requires ten million Core Power. Do you wish to pay?

"Yes."

Sorry, your balance is insufficient; skill realization failed.

Xiao Fan:...

Haha, ten million Core Power! Why don't you just rob someone?

It turns out that people can actually laugh when they're speechless.

Xiao Fan angrily quit the game.

Due to the game's server shutdown for maintenance, the <Cloud Sea> Login Administration was packed with people, with barely any room to stand.

"Don't push! People in front, get out of there!"

"We're all players, have some manners. Don't drag other players into this."

"Get out of here immediately, don't linger and chat in the lobby."

Several staff members, their faces flushed, shouted as they tried to maintain order.

Xiao Fan had originally planned to exchange some Dragon Nation Currency before going home, but seeing this scene, he had no choice but to give up and follow the crowd outwards.

Having finally squeezed his way out of the login lobby, Xiao Fan let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the streets outside the management hall, which were full of people, Xiao Fan realized for the first time just how huge the player base of the game <Cloud Sea> was.

Think about the Novice Village, Zone 18, there are only a few dozen people, it really lacks a good game atmosphere.

Feeling the changes in his body after the attribute points materialized, Xiao Fan's face showed a hint of surprise.

It must be said that even after attributes are strengthened, there is still a significant difference between the gaming experience and the real-life experience.

The feeling of reality is more direct and wonderful.

The game's time is synchronized with real time, and it's already evening. Xiao Fan dragged his strong body toward home.

*

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief when Xiao Yi was able to return alive.

Compared to losing a life, losing both legs isn't so unacceptable.

However, Yu Family Xiao Yi, who was once the pillar of his family, losing both legs was a huge blow.

He was filled with rage, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, that's the Shen Family, one of the Four Great Families of the Dragon Nation, and the stepson of Heaven-Tier Skill holder!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will never be able to take revenge in this lifetime, and he even worries that his attackers will find out he is still alive and retaliate against his family.

This pain was almost suffocating Xiao Yi, until his wife told him.

His nephew, Xiao Fan, is the only user of a God-Tier Skill in the Cloud Sea!

That's a God-tier Heaven-Tier Skill God-Tier Skill! The strongest skill in the entire game!

The emergence of the God-Tier Skill shocked the world, and everyone was speculating about which powerful figure from which faction created it.

Xiao Yi never expected that the person would actually be his eighteen-year-old nephew, who had only been in the game for a little over a month.

He had no doubt that Xiao Fan was lying; after all, the kid had been smart since he was little, otherwise he wouldn't have passed the exam...

The only reason he was assigned to the Zone 18 in the college entrance exam was because they didn't have the money to buy him a beginner's weapon.

Even in the worst Novice Zone, Xiao Fan still created the game's only God-Tier Skill!

As expected of the Xiao Family!

After hearing the news, Xiao Yi was no longer depressed or in so much pain; the world didn't seem so unfair anymore.

Everything is getting better, except for that damned Shen Family!

"Never let it be revealed that Xiao Fan possesses God-Tier Skill."

Xiao Yi gave instructions to his wife and children.

Xiao Fan's level is still low. If this matter is exposed, it may arouse the jealousy of those with ulterior motives, and someone may take action against him.

They couldn't protect Xiao Fan, so they could only keep this secret until Xiao Fan truly grew up.

"Dad, Mom, we're back."

Xiao Yi was lost in thought when the door was pushed open, and his two sons walked in one after the other.

"School's out so early today?" Xiao Yi pulled himself together, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

Hearing the sound, Liu Xiujuan poked her head out of the kitchen, still holding a spatula in her hand. "You're back. Go wash your hands first, dinner will be ready in a little while."

"Okay, Mom." Xiao Le put down her schoolbag and walked towards the bathroom.

Xiao An took off his schoolbag and threw it on the sofa, then plopped down next to Xiao Yi, his voice urgent. "Dad, something terrible has happened!"

"What's the big deal?" Xiao Yi turned to look at his son.

"It's said that <Cloud Sea> is suddenly going to shut down for maintenance, so all players have logged out of the game. The school didn't organize any physical training today and let us out early."

"Service shutdown for updates?" Xiao Yi frowned. "What's that?"

Such unfamiliar terms. Ten years after the "game invasion," this was the first time Xiao Yi had ever heard of a game needing to shut down for updates.

"I don't know either. Apparently, the game is going to update with new content, and all players will be unable to log in for seven days," Xiao An said, sharing what he had heard.

"If all players can't log in to the game, does that mean Xiao Fan is coming back?" Liu Xiujuan poked her head out from the kitchen.

"My brother is definitely coming back. All the players have logged out of the game. There were so many people on the street when I came back just now."

"Then I'll have to cook a few more dishes." Liu Xiujuan pulled her head back and went back to her work.

The whole family was overjoyed to know that Xiao Fan was coming back.

Especially Xiao Yi, he no longer simply sees Xiao Fan as a junior; he has grown to the point where he can be a pillar of support for this family.

They are still the hope for the future of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Fan originally thought that his uncle's loss of his legs was a major blow to the family, and everyone was in great pain.

But when he got home, he found his family all happily waiting for him to eat, in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Knowing you were coming back, I've been waiting for you." My uncle's smile stretched almost to the back of his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan's worries completely vanished.

At the dinner table, the family was so shocked when they heard that Xiao Fan had reached level ten and led the original players to clear the Level 10 Trial Secret Realm. They were speechless.

As a once-popular new server, the Zone 18 of the Novice Village was known to everyone.

It is said that the country abandoned Zone 18 for two reasons: first, it was more dangerous than other Novice Village; second, the Level 10 Trial Secret Realm was too difficult and could not be cleared.

If they stayed there, they would likely be stuck at level 10 forever, so even if it meant starting over, players would leave without hesitation.

But now, Xiao Fan tells them that he has led his team to clear the Level 10 Trial Secret Realm!

Even the nation was helpless in this secret realm, but Xiao Fan cleared it in just over a month after entering the game!

"Hahaha~ My nephew has the bearing of an emperor!" Xiao Yi danced with joy!

Xiao An and Xiao Le looked at Xiao Fan with eyes full of admiration.

Their idol has changed from Jian Qingfeng, the strongest man in the Dragon Nation, to their own cousin.

As for whether Xiao Fan was lying to them, not a single person doubted it.

After all, Xiao Fan had only been in the game for a month when he managed to rescue Xiao Yi, who was almost killed. What ordinary kid could do that?

Xiao Fan never boasts!
