The Art of Boasting

Zhang Yuanyuan initially felt a little guilty towards Xiao Fan and the fat guy, after all, the five of them had worked together really well during the exam.

But now, their identities are completely different.

His best friend Chen Xuewei was invited to enter the Genius Zone 1, and he and Zhang Chao also entered the Top Zone 2.

And Xiao Fan? He only went to the worst and most hopeless Zone 18.

Whatever the reason, their future paths are completely different, and there is no possibility of them fighting side by side again, so why should she be so polite?

Before Zhang Yuanyuan could speak, Chen Xuewei, who was standing to the side, saw Xiao Fan, her eyes lit up, and she ran over with a smile.

"Xiao Fan, it's been a long time. How are you?"

Xiao Fan put his hands in his pockets and sneered, "Thanks to your parents, you're doing pretty well."

Chen Xuewei was completely bewildered. What did this have to do with her parents?

"By the way, Yuanyuan, why did you tell me you went to Zone 18? Your grades should have placed you in Zone 2." Chen Xuewei asked, frowning.

When the exams ended, she thought she would enter Zone 2 with Xiao Fan.

Unexpectedly, she received an admission notice from Zone 1.

That's the Zone 1 everyone dreams of!

Chen Xuewei struggled with the decision for a long time, but she didn't even know what she was struggling with.

After all, the moment she received the admission notice from Zone 1, she had no other choice.

"Anyway, we'll only be in the Novice Village for a year at most, and we'll meet up again after Novice Village leave."

Chen Xuewei didn't have Xiao Fan's contact information, and before she had a chance to tell Xiao Fan about these things, her family sent her to the capital to study.

When she returned to Sea City after the game's server maintenance, she learned that Xiao Fan had gone to Zone 18.

Chen Xuewei was clearly unaware of what her parents had done, and Xiao Fan didn't bother with her.

His feud with the Chen Family destined him and Chen Xuewei to be on opposite sides.

"Weiwei, who is this kid?" Shen Jiangyun, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes as he watched Chen Xuewei speak to a stranger.

"It's none of your business," Chen Xuewei replied coldly.

Shen Jiangyun's face instantly turned ugly, and Zhang Chao behind him, seeing this, quickly stepped forward, bowing and scraping.

"Young Master Jiang, this person is called Xiao Fan. He's the one who took the exam with us before, and he's currently a player in the Zone 18 of the Novice Village." Zhang Chao emphasized the words "Zone 18" loudly.

"Oh, so it was him." Shen Jiangyun scrutinized Xiao Fan.

Before he could even speak, the fat man stepped forward, pointed at Zhang Chao's nose, and started cursing.

"You ungrateful bastard! If it weren't for Brother Fan, would you still be alive to speak here? What's wrong with Zone 18? Aren't we better than trash like you who only leveled up in two months?"

"You!" Zhang Chao's face turned red and white as he was scolded.

The fact that he was promoted one level in two months hit him where it hurt.

He originally thought that entering Zone 2 would lead to a promising future, but he never expected that the competition in Zone 2 would be so fierce, with the descendants of powerful and influential families everywhere.

He and Zhang Yuanyuan entered the Zone 2, and thus began to experience the hardships of being a low-level player.

Although they joined a faction, it was a very small one, and the leveling resources they received were limited. They also had to prioritize other players, and only lastly would it be their turn to level Zhang Yuanyuan.

If he and Zhang Yuanyuan hadn't already been level two before entering the game, they probably wouldn't even be able to reach level three now.

This is also why he fawns over Shen Jiangyun. The largest power in the Zone 2 was established by the Shen Family. As long as Shen Jiangyun gives him a call to join the Shen Family's power, he can continue to advance his ranks normally.

But so what! Even if he's having a bad time in Zone 2, it's still better than being in Zone 18.

Entering Zone 18 is practically the same as being rendered useless.

Zhang Chao looked at Xiao Fan and the other person. He had been wondering why the fat man was no longer in Zone 2, but it turned out he had transferred to Zone 18.

Does this idiot even deserve to laugh at him?

LOL, they might not even be as good as me.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chao raised his head. "Heh, since when did the trash from Zone 18 start laughing at us from Zone 2? And even thinks he's better than me? What level are you now?"

Zhang Chao spoke sarcastically, saying that Fatty leaving Zone 2 meant his level was reset to zero, and he didn't believe Fatty could reach level 3 in less than a month.

He admitted that Xiao Fan's skills were impressive, but he was only a Healer Class. The main reason he was able to kill a level 3 boss was because Chen Xuewei's skills were powerful.

How fast can the two of them level up together, with the fat guy by their side?

The fat man's face turned bright red with excitement.

Finally! Finally someone asked him about his level! Heaven knows how long he'd been waiting for this moment!

As a powerful level 5 player, it's really frustrating that nobody asks about his level! He doesn't even have a chance to show off.

Zhang Chao finally did something decent!

The fat man stood tall and puffed out his chest, ready to show off his level, but the scene became noisy.

"What? Fatty went to Zone 18?"

"I remember he was assigned to Zone 2, how come he's in Zone 18?"

When the fat guy was first assigned to Zone 2, he bragged about it to everyone for a long time, but no one knew when he was transferred to another zone. Now, hearing the fat guy speak, everyone realized something was wrong.

"Don't you guys know? Fatty couldn't survive in Zone 2 at all. In the end, he took advantage of returning to reality and slunk away to Zone 18 to find his older brother," Zhang Chao mocked.

"Holy crap, transferring from Zone 2 to Zone 18 to find the big boss? That's practically idiotic even in the world of idiots," Li Li taunted, seizing the opportunity. Surely he wouldn't be the clown this time, would he?

In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Fatty and Xiao Fan changed.

To find his "big brother," he transferred from Zone 2 to Zone 18, from the top-tier Novice Village to Abandoned Novice Village. Is this something a normal person would do?

What a cutie!

The fat man was so angry that his nose almost crooked after he tried to show off and was treated like a fool.

"You guys don't know anything! So what if it's Zone 18? With my Brother Fan, we're better than you guys anywhere!"

Everyone shook their heads; it was hopeless.

"Haha, may I ask how many levels your powerful Brother Fan helped you level up? Why don't you dare to say?" Li Li said sarcastically.

"Who's afraid to speak? I was just interrupted by you guys." The fat man rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"Okay, okay, we won't interrupt. Just tell us your level."

The fat man puffed out his chest and declared, "Listen up, everyone! I transferred to Zone 18 a little over two weeks ago, and I've already reached level five!"

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at the fat man in disbelief.

Just as the fat man thought everyone was shocked by his level, Zhang Yuanyuan burst out laughing.

"Hey Fatty, there's a limit to how much you can lie, right? Level 5? You're really exaggerating!"

"Haha, Level 5? Aren't you overthinking it?"

"As expected, an idiot is an idiot; he can't even make a coherent lie."

Chen Xuewei, this genius from Zone 1, has only reached Level 6. According to Shen Jiangyun, this level is already top-tier in Zone 1.

The fat guy has only been in Zone 18 for less than a month, yet his level is only one level lower than Chen Xuewei's. If he had entered Zone 18 from the beginning, wouldn't his level be higher than Chen Xuewei's now?

Even the geniuses of Zone 1 can't compare to you; you must be hallucinating from eating mushrooms.
