All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Wang Zhifan listened to what the people around him said and talked with them for a while. He realized that it would not be easy for him to find people willing to form a team. His level was too low and it was difficult for him to get others to take risks with him.

But he couldn't give up so easily, so he thought about changing his strategy, such as taking out some chips to see if he could attract some bold players.

However, before he could figure out what chips to take, a gloomy, long-haired young man wearing a blue and white sportswear appeared in front of the teahouse. At the same time, several voices sounded from the teahouse, attracting his attention.

"Brother Neng is here! I told you that Brother Neng would definitely come today!"

A player shouted loudly when he saw the gloomy, long-haired young man in sportswear appear at the door, fearing that others might not notice.

"Brother Neng! How was your dungeon performance today? Did you get any good equipment?"

When another player saw the young man walk into the teahouse, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he quickly asked, but he was interrupted by another person next to him before he could finish his words.

"Stop talking to me! Do you have any sense? Can't you see that Brother Neng is in a bad mood? You are asking questions even though you already know the answer!"

However, this person seemed to be teaching a lesson to the person who had just spoken. If you looked closely, you could see that he also had an irrepressible smile on his face, and it was clear that he was on the same side as the other person.

"Look at what you said! Brother Neng is very generous and won't bother with us about this matter! Besides, Brother Neng can't be unlucky every day, right? Maybe Brother Neng is just pretending to be like this for us, and he has actually exploded three outstanding items in a row..."

Another person followed and joined in teasing the long-haired young man who had just entered the room.

Wang Zhifan listened to the players' slightly mocking words and knew that they did not really have any bad intentions. They were just very familiar with the long-haired young man who just came in and said some teasing words collectively.

"They call him Brother Neng... Could this person be the level 77 player named Huang Neng that someone mentioned before? Is he a famous non-African?"

Wang Zhifan then reacted in his mind. Not long ago, when everyone here was talking to him, they mentioned a person of the highest rank. He must be the one who came in.

When a truly high-level player appeared, he immediately had the urge to go up and talk to him. But before he stood up, the old man sitting next to him called out to the long-haired young man in a sports suit with a gloomy look:
"Aneng! Come over here! There's a big order from a wealthy man waiting for you. It depends on whether you have the courage to accept it!"

The young man called Aneng by the old man with the teapot immediately raised his head slightly after hearing this. His sight first shifted from the floor in front of him to the old man, and then quickly locked onto the unfamiliar face sitting next to the old man, that is, Wang Zhifan.

Wang Zhifan was also observing the existence of this player who was said to be level 77. He found that although this young player looked very gloomy and his clothes were a bit shabby, like a typical frustrated young man, the extraordinary energy in his body was very abundant, which was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary players.

Without waiting for the long-haired young man to approach, Wang Zhifan immediately stood up from the bench, stepped forward, stretched out his hand to the young man with a smile, and said:
"Hello! I'm looking for a high-level player to form a team with. I hope to cooperate with you! The price is negotiable!"

The gloomy-looking long-haired young man seemed a little surprised by Wang Zhifan's enthusiastic attitude. He frowned slightly, hesitated for half a second, shook hands with Wang Zhifan, and then responded:
"Hello, I usually do dungeons alone, and I'm not very good at leading people... But how much are you willing to pay?"

The man seemed to refuse at first, but then suddenly asked about the price. It can be seen that he is not very good at dealing with this kind of situation and is not very good at negotiating the price.

"Five million each time."

After hearing this, Wang Zhifan immediately quoted a price. He had considered this price. It was a huge sum of money for ordinary players, but it was about the same level for high-level players. It was neither too much nor too little, and he could afford it with his current financial resources.

"Five million, the price is acceptable... Your player level should be 60, right? As long as you are 60, I can take it."

The gloomy, long-haired young man nodded slightly and asked again.

Wang Zhifan knew that this question was unavoidable, but he still chose to tell the truth. After all, he had just said it to other people around him, so he responded:
"I'm not level 60 yet, but I'll be able to act on my own after entering the dungeon. I don't need your extra care at all, and I definitely won't be a burden to you..."

Wang Zhifan emphasized that he only needed to enter the dungeon, and even if the level was low, it would not drag him down, but the others in the teahouse interrupted and said:

“Brother Neng! This rich guy just now claimed that he is level 30! He is almost half your level! You must help him!”

"Five million, Brother Neng! If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again! I believe you can handle level 30 players!"

"Brother Neng! We all believe that you can do it! Maybe this rich man is the lucky star that will turn your luck around!"

……

These players started to make a fuss, seemingly helping Wang Zhifan to make the deal, but in fact, they were all emphasizing that Wang Zhifan was only in his thirties, reminding the long-haired young man to be careful of the huge pit in front of him.

However, unlike what everyone expected, the gloomy long-haired young man did not show any anger or reject Wang Zhifan directly after hearing their words. Instead, he stared at the person in front of him and said in a very affirmative tone:
"You're only level 30? That's impossible... Level 30 doesn't give me this feeling. You must be at least level 60... No, at least level 70!"

Wang Zhifan immediately realized that this person's perception must be very strong, and he noticed that his basic attributes far exceeded those of ordinary players. However, under the blockade of all kinds of equipment on his body, he only saw the tip of the iceberg, so he quickly smiled and replied:

"You said I'm level 70, so I'm level 70. Anyway, as long as you team up with me to enter the dungeon, I will give you 5 million, and you don't need to take extra care of me in the dungeon."

While the two were talking, all the other players who were several meters away were shocked. They first looked at each other in disbelief, and then quickly started a group discussion.

"Brother Neng said this local tyrant is equivalent to level 70? Is he not sleepy?"

"I don't think so. Although Brother Neng doesn't have any good equipment, it is said that he has a special bloodline and a very strong perception, so he can survive to level 70 or 80 with such shabby equipment."

"Does that mean we were deceived by this guy? He is actually higher level than us?"

"You are pretending to be a pig but trying to eat the tiger! How unkind!"

……

Wang Zhifan didn't care about what people were saying. He was just happy that he had found a partner. He quickly pulled the long-haired young man to sit on the bench for further discussion, and sat at the same table with the old man with the teapot.

The old man with the teapot was also somewhat concerned about their previous conversation. As soon as Wang Zhifan sat down, he couldn't help but ask:
"Young man, are you really level 70? Then what did you mean by pretending to be a level 30 player before? Are you kidding us?"

"No, my level is really not high. Didn't I show you the card?"

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan took out his silver card again, indicating that he did not come here through conventional channels.

The long-haired young man was very knowledgeable and recognized it immediately. He asked:
"Silver card? Who recommended you here?"

"Captain Li of the Dongjiang Second Bureau." Wang Zhifan did not hide this. Captain Li had already told him that he could tell his name to everyone he met.

"Captain Li of the Second Dongjiang Bureau... you should tell me his full name!"

"His name is Li Zhenguo."

"What?! It's him! Not many people can get the recommendation of this great master! Show me the card!"

After a brief exchange, the long-haired, gloomy young man suddenly became excited. He quickly took out his mobile phone, opened a special APP, scanned the card, and learned more about Wang Zhifan.

He soon discovered that Wang Zhifan really had an electronic letter of recommendation from Li Zhenguo. Don't underestimate this electronic record. In fact, it is very valuable because it is specially operated by the Xia State Administration. It is incredibly difficult for outsiders to forge or tamper with it, and it has extremely high credibility.

"Since you are someone Mr. Li Zhenguo values, I agree to team up with you! And you don't need to pay. As long as you have a chance, you can thank Mr. Li Zhenguo on my behalf! Just say that I am very grateful for saving his life!"

The long-haired young man then spoke to Wang Zhifan with a slightly excited look, making Wang Zhifan realize that Captain Li’s influence was not limited to the Dongjiang Second Bureau, but was much greater than he thought.

"Well...just let me thank Captain Li on your behalf? Actually, I have his phone number, why don't you call him yourself?"

Wang Zhifan felt a little confused after hearing this, and quickly found Li Zhenguo's phone number on his mobile phone and showed it to the long-haired young man.

The long-haired young man was even more surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that Wang Zhifan even had the phone number of Li Zhenguo, the great master. It seemed that the two had a close relationship.

He glanced at the phone number and wanted to add it to his mobile phone, but then gave up and said:
"Forget it. Mr. Li Zhenguo is definitely very busy. I can't disturb him. You can thank him for me when you have the chance in the future."

"He is indeed very busy, running around all day long, and I don't know when I can see him again."

Wang Zhifan agreed with this. Captain Li was undoubtedly a very busy man in the Dongjiang Second Bureau. Business trips had become a daily routine for him and it was rare to see him on weekdays.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it when you meet me! If we want to form a team, shall we start tomorrow? I've already finished today's copy."

The long-haired young man seemed very happy to meet the person recommended by Li Zhenguo, and then agreed on the details with Wang Zhifan.

"Okay, the price is as we agreed just now, five million per time."

Wang Zhifan nodded after listening to this. He also didn't expect things to suddenly become so smooth. The value of Captain Li's letter of recommendation was beyond his imagination.

"I've already said I won't take your money. Just remember to thank Mr. Li Zhenguo for me! And my name is Huang Neng. You can call me Aneng from now on."

After saying this, the long-haired young man took the initiative to extend his hand to Wang Zhifan, and the two shook hands for the second time.

"My name is Wang Zhifan, you can just call me Afan."

Wang Zhifan saw that the young man looked serious, so he didn't mention the price anymore.

When the two chatted to this point, in addition to the old man with the teapot next to them, many players gathered around. These players listened to their conversation silently, and their expressions were a little surprised.

"Li Zhenguo... I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."

"I remember that he was the one who solved the challenge of a foreign player alone some time ago! He sent a message to the group!"

"Is he the one who beat off four level 90 masters from the American country? He is really awesome!"

"Of course they are awesome, but they are the core elites of the Administration. They have access to resources that we cannot imagine. It is not surprising that they can burst out with extraordinary combat power at critical moments..."

"You're talking as if anyone who enters the Administration can be so powerful. There are many high-level players in the Administration, but not many with his strength..."

……

Listening to the discussions around him, Wang Zhifan further understood that Li Zhenguo was a big celebrity in the circle of high-level players. Even the players who gathered together temporarily in Jinlin City had some impression of him.

However, the topic did not stay on this topic. After a while, it returned to the long-haired young man Huang Neng. A player asked Huang Neng with a strange smile:
"Brother Neng, you haven't told us today's results yet! How many outstanding players did you get?"

Huang Neng looked bitter when he heard this. He shook his head and touched his forehead and replied helplessly:

"Excellent! And it's a rare item! I don't expect to get any. It's rare, so it's rare! When I save enough money, I will exchange it for an excellent item from the Administration!"

"Tsk tsk! Brother Neng, you are definitely being targeted by the Extraordinary Game! How can you only get rare items when playing a high-level dungeon? I heard in the group that someone in China even got an epic item this month, and their level is not as high as yours!"

The man immediately smiled and replied.

"It's because Brother Neng was so unlucky last time that he used up all his luck! So don't think that Brother Neng has bad luck. This is called the law of conservation of rewards, don't you understand?"

The square-faced wizard then interjected, and it was unclear whether he was trying to comfort Huang Neng or laugh at him.

Wang Zhifan was thus certain that Huang Neng in front of him was really a very unlucky person. Apart from the fact that he had once developed some special bloodline, he had never had any good luck since then.

It was probably because of this reason that he mixed with the lower-level players even though he was at a very high level, and did not enter the more core elite player circle.

Li Zhenguo had mentioned this circle to Wang Zhifan before, saying that it contained hundreds of the strongest players in Xia Country. He had originally planned to take Wang Zhifan to see it, but unfortunately either he was not available or Wang Zhifan himself was not available.

Originally, Wang Zhifan had no interest in this kind of interpersonal communication troubles. Because he had special advantages, he did not need to communicate with others. Independent development was enough for him.

But as the extraordinary games targeted him more and more, he had to change his strategy and choose to play with high-level players.

If this strategy proves to be effective, he will definitely enter the elite player circle in the future. (End of this chapter)
