What Wang Zhifan didn't expect was that during his free time after the game, he actually received quite a few invitations from strangers.

Some of them found him where he was having dinner and spoke to him in person, while others got his contact information from somewhere and sent him messages, making him realize that he had become a bit famous without realizing it.

At this time, in a cafe, a beautiful woman dressed as an urban beauty sat in front of Wang Zhifan, invited him to accept her as his exclusive agent, and boasted about the company behind her.

"Mr. Wang, you are now at the beginning stage of your summoner career. Every step you take is crucial, so you must consider it carefully!

Our Lan Teng Studio is the largest summoner studio in K City, with a large number of excellent summon upgrade resources. As long as you choose to cooperate with us, coupled with your excellent summoning talent, you will definitely grow into a star summoner in the future..."

After listening to the woman for a while, Wang Zhifan, who was drinking coffee, couldn't help but get a little impatient. He said directly:
"Sorry, I don't have any plans to find an agent at the moment. Please leave your business card and I'll contact you if I need anything."

Anyone could tell that such words were an order to leave. The woman sitting opposite had a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she still showed basic professionalism, stood up and said goodbye to Wang Zhifan, leaving a business card on the table.

When she walked out of the cafe, she finally showed some anger on her face, and thought to herself:
"I never thought there would be a man who would be so disrespectful to me. Did I not put on my makeup well today?"

In the cafe, Wang Zhifan didn't even look at the business card on the table, nor did he care what the woman who had just left thought.

The reason why he doesn't want an agent is because he has Xiaohong.

Xiaohong's ability is not comparable to that of ordinary agents. Which agent has the ability to directly modify information and manipulate data on the Internet?

If Xiaohong finds another agent, it will be difficult for her to carry out her work.

After taking a leisurely sip of coffee, Wang Zhifan heard Xiaohong's voice on his smart watch. It was the same solicitation-type communication he had heard several times today.

"Boss, after your game gained attention online, a powerful large summoner organization has extended an olive branch to you. I have checked their qualifications and they do have considerable influence. If you want to speed up your journey to becoming a star summoner, you can consider joining them..."

Xiaohong said similar things several times in the past hour, but this time she particularly emphasized the other party's strong influence, which shows that she hopes Wang Zhifan will agree to join.

However, Wang Zhifan didn't care about any powerful local forces. All he wanted was to trigger the advanced hidden mission. He suddenly asked Xiaohong:
"Xiaohong, do all the star summoners in this world have the support of powerful forces behind them?"

"It can be considered so. According to the statistics I collected on the Internet, 99.9% of star summoners have their own forces. It is extremely rare to find a completely solo star summoner. The existing ones all became famous at least years ago. In the past years, there has not been a single solo star summoner..."

"Is that so... Then it seems I can't join these so-called summoner forces. My goal is to take an unconventional path. I can just stack this rare attribute, and I think my success rate will be improved to a certain extent..."

Xiaohong in the smartwatch heard this and knew that Wang Zhifan had made a decision, so she responded with a voice:
"Okay, boss. In light of your decision, I will automatically block all invitations from all major forces. I will only report to you when encountering special circumstances."

"Well, that's it. You don't have to worry about those people. Just try to arrange my matches first. I want to reach star level as quickly as possible."

Wang Zhifan nodded in response.

The first day of leisure time passed peacefully. In addition to thinking about cultivation, Wang Zhifan was also thinking about how to make arrangements so that he could discover the advanced hidden tasks.

The next morning, with Xiaohong's efforts, he won the second open tournament as he wished, and the venue was much more magnificent than the old playground yesterday. It was a truly professional summoner competition venue.

This place is called "K City's Seventh Arena". It is located in a relatively central area of ​​K City. Its shape is similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum. It covers an area of ​​300,000 square meters and is very magnificent.

Even before the game started, tens of thousands of spectators had already taken their seats in the surrounding seats, making a lot of noise.

"Old Wang, is there a star summoner coming today? Why are there so many people?"

"There are no stars, but there are junior summoners. Do you think that's rare?"

"Junior summoner? How is that possible? Everyone knows that only senior summoners are eligible to compete in such a big arena! Are you kidding me?"

"Haha... you don't know this! Today's match has been hyped up a lot on the Internet!
"The strongest summoning genius", "beginners vs veterans", "newcomer that even star summoners are afraid of", the hype is really overwhelming! It's no surprise that he's so popular!"

"Ah? I was busy taking care of my summon baby these past two days and didn't pay attention to what was online. Is it really that mysterious?"

"Of course, the ticket prices here are not cheap, wouldn't it be bad for our reputation if we cheated them?

I specially watched the competition video of this junior summoner who is known as the strongest newcomer, and found that his summoned creature is indeed extraordinary, it is an evil spirit with spatial ability!

Do you think such a talented summoner is qualified to participate in the level-skipping tournament?"

"Hey~ Rule-based summon?! That's really cool!"

……

There were still ten minutes before the start of the game. Wang Zhifan was arranged in a special waiting room. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, playing with his newly bought mobile phone and watching the promotional video for the game. He did not feel nervous at all about entering the venue.

"Of course, Xiaohong! I didn't expect you to be so good at making things up. You packaged me up as the 'strongest summoning genius in a thousand years'. It's almost making me laugh to death! If people outside knew that I'm not... ahem, I'm the strongest summoning genius!"

Wang Zhifan, who originally wanted to complain that he was not a summoner at all, suddenly said with a proud and serious look on his face, because he understood that there were surveillance cameras here and some things were not suitable to be said.

After a while, a staff member in black uniform knocked on the door and walked in.

Wang Zhifan thought he was going to enter the game, so he stood up from the sofa, but the staff member looked at him and said:

"Mr. Wang, someone asked me to tell you something."

"Who? What words?"

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately revealed a mysterious smile on his face, and spoke word by word:

"Times are changing, and if you win this game, you'll have a chance to join us."

After saying that, the staff member turned around and left without any hesitation, leaving behind a mysterious smile and a back that he thought was extremely handsome.

"..." Little did he know that from Wang Zhifan's point of view, he just felt very embarrassed and speechless. He thought that this was another way of recruiting him, so he didn't take it to heart.

"What the hell... Is it popular to be a riddle teller in this world? Do you think you can arouse my interest by doing this?"

Shaking his head and sitting back on the sofa, Wang Zhifan had no intention of trying to figure out the intentions of the person who had just come, because the other party's behavior seemed very low-level to him.

A few dozen seconds later, another staff member arrived and this time really asked him to enter the venue and emphasized the competition disciplines to him.

"Mr. Wang, please be careful not to involve the audience without reason during the game. If you are found to have such behavior, you will be directly judged as the loser and fined more than one million..."

"Well, don't worry, I'm not that boring."

After giving a simple answer, Wang Zhifan followed the staff member out of the room, passed through a winding underground passage, and walked alone to a gate leading to the ground of the arena.

As he approached the gate, he heard increasingly clear shouts coming from outside, like the stirring echoes in the mountains, making his blood boil.

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

"Master Yin will win!"

……

The so-called Master Yin who was being shouted at from the audience was none other than Wang Zhifan's opponent in this match. He was a senior summoner who was born in K City and was quite popular locally.

Generally speaking, a senior summoner will not accept a challenge from a junior summoner. After all, if he wins, he will lose all his dignity, and if he loses, he will become a laughing stock. There is no benefit at all.

But Wang Zhifan's AI Xiaohong has strong investigative capabilities. She discovered that Master Yin was a person who really liked to ride on the popularity of others, so she created all kinds of online information to let Master Yin know that the "genius" Wang Zhifan was going to challenge a senior summoner, which prompted him to accept the challenge.

The whole process is naturally much more complicated than it sounds, and it is not easy to deal with the competition approval committee. However, with Xiaohong's ability to manipulate the Internet, it finally became a reality, saving Wang Zhifan himself a lot of trouble.

At this moment, when Wang Zhifan walked out of the gate on one side of the arena, Master Yin, who was hundreds of meters away from him, had already appeared in the arena.

He was a middle-aged man in a neat suit, constantly waving to the audience, causing cheers from all around, and he looked like a big shot.

In contrast, few people responded to Wang Zhifan, who quietly emerged from underground, which is in sharp contrast to his high popularity on the Internet.

Of course, this must have something to do with the fact that Wang Zhifan did not greet the audience.

Wang Zhifan was indeed not planning to greet the audience around him.

In the past, according to his "standard moral summoner" personality, he would have to give an entrance speech to increase his popularity with the audience.

But now his personality has changed, becoming cold and arrogant, and he must establish his new personality in the outside world.

He walked silently to the starting point of the arena, and did not utter a word as the gate behind him sank into the ground, turning the arena into a huge and complete circle.

He just raised his head and looked at everything in front of him with a haughty and disdainful look. Even the surrounding cameras could not help but notice his unruly posture and broadcast the real-time images to the big screen on site and on the Internet.

As a professional large-scale summoner competition, there are naturally commentators. At this time, the commentator on the online program noticed this detail, and the male commentator said to the female commentator next to him:
"Xiao Xin, didn't you just say that Mr. Wang Fan was very humble and polite in the primary competition? Doesn't this look wrong? Why does he look like a typical domineering CEO to me?"

The pretty and lovely female commentator looked a little embarrassed when she heard this. According to the information she had collected, the new summoner who challenged the opponent of higher level in the arena was indeed humble, but now the image of the opponent shown on the screen was completely different. He looked like a cold and domineering president, which made her feel quite puzzled.

"Well... I saw that the contestant's game video yesterday was not like this! What happened today? Could it be that this contestant was affected by the aura of genius? Has he awakened a hidden attribute?"

The female commentator called Xiaoxin said with a slightly exaggerated expression of surprise on her face, and a hint of grievance flashed in her big bright eyes.

The male commentator at the side immediately took over the conversation and explained to the audience:

"Well... what Xiaoxin said makes sense. It is normal for young people to change due to external influences... I hope this contestant can live up to everyone's expectations and perform at his best... Okay, the competition has officially begun, and the contestants are entering the on-site summoning phase..."

His sight returned to the huge, flat, circular competition field. Master Yin, a senior summoner dressed in a neat suit, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Blurry, pale shadows quickly emerged in front of him, guarding him from behind. There were about a hundred of them in total.

These illusory shadows are Master Yin’s signature summons, called evil spirit phantoms. In other words, Master Yin is an evil spirit summoner, the same type as Wang Zhifan in the eyes of others.

Wang Zhifan also summoned his signature fighter, the petite and adorable Xiaohong, who floated in the air alone, in stark contrast to the number of enemies.

The battle between the two sides was about to begin, but as a senior, Master Yin did not want to make the first move, so he said to Wang Zhifan, who was several hundred meters ahead, with a mentor-like smile:
"Xiao Wang, you only have this one chance to challenge me. I'll let you make the first move. Remember to use all your strength, otherwise you will regret it in the future."

The sound of his voice was captured and amplified by special loudspeakers placed throughout the venue, and for a moment everyone in the venue could hear it clearly.

"Master Yin!"

"Master Yin!"

……

His fans suddenly became fanatical, making thunderous cheers.

On the other side, behind the little Xiaohong, Wang Zhifan put his hands in his pockets with an arrogant look on his face, and responded rather coldly:

"Mr. Yin, I think you got one thing wrong... Today, you are the challenger, so you have to make the first move."

As soon as he uttered these arrogant words, the entire stadium fell silent for half a second, and the two people in the commentary booth were also slightly stunned.

After a brief pause, the male commentator turned to look at the female commentator next to him and said with a smile:
"Haha, this new guy is so crazy..." (End of this chapter)
