Returning to School

"Where did this message come from? I didn't receive it."

"It was just posted in the class group chat, Brother Fan, didn't you see it?"

Xiao Fan remained silent.

He left the class group chat early.

He once ranked first in the city in a game exam, but the Chen Family secretly changed his Novice Zone to the Zone 18. The school ignored the matter and no one stood up for him.

Xiao Fan was utterly disappointed with the school and left all the school's group chats.

Although his strength didn't matter which Novice Village he was assigned to, he was disgusted by this kind of unfairness.

"I'm not going."

Xiao Fan resolutely refused. He didn't want to see those people's true colors, and he also wanted to do something else.

"No way, Brother Fan, let's go together! I was already level 5 before I logged out of the game, and I reached level 5 in less than two months! Do you know what that means? I'm still waiting to show off at school!"

Xiao Fan:... How would I, a level 10 player, know what level 5 means?

Besides, how could a master of God-Tier Skill possibly understand him showing off to a bunch of newbies who don't even have Heaven-Tier Skill?

Just as Xiao Fan was about to refuse, his cousin Xiao An, who was on the upper bunk, suddenly poked his head out.

"Brother, I saw a notice from the school saying that your year's students will be going back to school tomorrow to talk about games. I'm so looking forward to it." Then Xiao An pursed his lips, a hint of regret in his voice.

"It's a pity you can't tell anyone that you created God-Tier Skill, otherwise I can't even imagine how envious my classmates would be. But even so, you're still the best student in this year's class! I'm going to school with you tomorrow."

Xiao Fan:...

After he graduated this year, his younger cousin and his younger cousin went to Sea City No. 1 High School, and now they are his juniors.

Seeing his cousin Xiao An's hopeful expression, Xiao Fan could only nod and say, "Okay."

The next morning, Xiao Fan had just opened his eyes when he heard his aunt's exclamation.

"What happened? Someone transferred 8 million to me? Did they transfer it to the wrong person? What should I do?"

Then, his uncle's slightly comforting voice rang out.

"Don't panic, we'll go ask the bank when it opens."

"It seems that the person from last night is no ordinary person," Xiao Fan thought as he stood up.

It was too late yesterday, and he thought the person would pay today, so he didn't tell his aunt about it. He didn't expect the person to transfer the money overnight.

"That's true. How could someone who can conquer an level 80 dungeon be simple?"

Most ordinary players' game levels are between 20 and 40, with the better ones reaching 40 to 60. Even Ye Bugu, the leader of the game's number one Mercenary group who created the Earth-Tier Skill on his own, is only level 70. Those who reach level 80 or above are all of simple backgrounds. Xiao Fan pushed open the door and saw his aunt looking flustered while looking at her phone. He went over to explain.

"Auntie, please accept this money. I helped someone out yesterday, and this is my payment."

Upon hearing this, his uncle and aunt looked at him in disbelief.

"So that's how it is. But Xiao Fan, what kind of help did you give them? They gave so much money?" the uncle asked.

Xiao Fan briefly recounted what happened on the forum last night.

"What?! 8 million for answering a question? That's way too much!"

Liu Xiujuan suddenly felt the money in her card was burning hot—eight million! In her mind, she probably wouldn't earn that much money in her entire life. Xiao Fan earned eight million just by answering one question?

Although Xiao Yi didn't understand it very well either, when he heard Xiao Fan mention the level 80 secret realm, he guessed that the other party was not simple, and instead became worried about Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Fan, if they enter the secret realm and find your analysis is wrong, won't they cause you trouble?"

Although Xiao Yi felt that his nephew had the potential to become an emperor, he had only been in the game for a short time. Was it a bit dangerous for him to help someone analyze Level 80 Secret Realm?

"Don't worry, Uncle. They're not stupid. Why would they pay if they think my analysis is wrong? Besides, your nephew is someone who cleared the Zone 18 Trial Secret Realm; he's not just some ordinary player."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately perked up.

That's right. So many people in the country couldn't pass the Trial Secret Realm, but Xiao Fan led his team to pass it in less than two months.

This level of talent makes analyzing an level 80 dungeon perfectly reasonable.

Xiao Yi and his wife were relieved and filled with emotion.

In just two months, they went from Fa Chou about the 30,000 yuan cost of beginner weapons, hospital treatment fees, and their children's tuition and living expenses to having 8 million yuan in savings.

It was all because their nephew, Xiao Fan, entered the game <Cloud Sea>.

This must be what it means to be born with a natural talent for gaming.

"Okay, I'll save this money for you to get married in the future." The aunt smiled, put down her phone, and went into the kitchen to cook.

Xiao Fan:...

"Auntie, don't save this money. This is specially for improving our family's living conditions."

Xiao Yi, standing to the side, grinned. What made him happier than the 8 million was the gaming talent his nephew Xiao Fan displayed. It made him feel that all the hard work and humiliation he had suffered over the years were worth it!

After breakfast, Xiao Fan was pulled by his younger cousins to go to school together.

Sea City No. 1 High School was bustling with activity today.

The idea of inviting the previous year's graduates back to school was a spur-of-the-moment decision by the Principal.

The knowledge about games that can be learned in school is ultimately limited.

During this maintenance update of the Cloud Sea, the Principal wanted graduates who had spent almost two months in the Novice Zone to tell current students about the Novice Village.

The situation in each Novice Village is different, and knowing some information will be very helpful for students to survive in the game later.

This event received support from everyone.

"Brother Fan."

As soon as Xiao Fan arrived at the school gate, he saw the fat boy running towards him.

"Brother, we'll go in first, see you on the playground later." Xiao An and Xiao Le waved and went into the school first.

Looking at the energetic, ruddy-faced fat man, Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow. "Something good happening?"

"Hahaha." The fat man chuckled and leaned closer, speaking mysteriously.

"Yesterday I asked my classmates, and Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuanyuan are only level 3 in the game. Haha, when the five of us took the exam together, we were already level 2 when we entered the game, but in almost two months, they only leveled up once."

"I, Fatty, am already level 5 in the Novice Zone, while those two geniuses from the Zone 2 are only level 3. I was so happy I couldn't sleep all night, and I'm even more energetic today."

The fat man grinned, as if he wanted to laugh out loud.

He entered the Zone 2 with Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuanyuan. The three of them originally agreed to find a team to level up together, but the two of them abandoned him in the blink of an eye.

Up to this point, the fat man could understand the two men, but later they continued to mock and ridicule him, which made him very angry.

He can understand if you're realistic, but if you turn around and criticize him, that's a matter of character.

The fat man had been holding his breath.

He was relieved to learn that the two were not doing well in Zone 2.
