All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

On the vast world battlefield, there was an uninhabited wasteland. More than ten figures suddenly appeared on the grass at the same time. They were the players from the Xia country group who were collectively teleported away by Gu Xingchen.

"Huh... I finally escaped! I thought I was doomed this time!"

Summoner Lu Guanwen, who had strange black patterns on his body, exclaimed at this moment, and it seemed that he still remembered the scene of being besieged by players from another world.

However, the others ignored his sigh. Most of them looked serious or puzzled. The captain, Li Zhenguo, sheathed his sword and looked around at everyone and said:
"Everyone, judging from the results of the battle just now, we not only successfully escaped the enemy's siege, but almost all of us were unharmed, and we even killed some of the enemies in the end. But can anyone explain how we did it? I feel like I don't understand the context of the battle just now at all. It seems that we won suddenly while fighting."

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the crowd and subconsciously stopped on Wang Zhifan in the team, hoping that this team member he valued most would be kind enough to explain.

After hearing what he said, the deputy captain Gu Xingchen also leaned on his staff with one hand and touched his chin with the other hand and echoed:
"The captain is right. Although the result of the previous battle was very good, it was indeed very strange. We were clearly at a great disadvantage. The players from the other world were numerous and powerful, but we achieved an almost perfect result... There must be a key reason for this."

After saying this, the wizard with a physique like a big bear also kept his eyes on Wang Zhifan intentionally or unintentionally, making it clear that he knew that someone had played a magical role.

Pastor Lin Fengwu was more straightforward. She expressed her opinion after a brief thought:

"I was maintaining my aura skills and not directly participating in the battle. I may have seen it more carefully than you did. I feel that the turning point of the battle was when Mr. Wang used his clone skill. He used his clones to pin down every alien, greatly reducing the pressure on everyone and enabling them to find a way out. Mr. Wang accounted for at least half of the credit."

"That's right! Mr. Wang's clones are very powerful. Without them, I wouldn't be able to stay back and shoot safely! But then again, those aliens had too high a defense. I only injured a few of them from beginning to end. The ones who died had little to do with me. It seems that they were also hacked to death by Mr. Wang's clones."

The tall and thin gunner player Han Yuanhou continued.

"I did kill one during the chaos, but it was just a sneak attack on an already seriously injured alien player."

A young man who was neither tall nor strong and seemed to have no presence at first glance also rarely interrupted. He was He Long, the assassin master in the Xia country team.

As a result, except for a few other players from Cambodia or Laos who defected, everyone in the group spoke up, and everyone turned their puzzled eyes to Wang Zhifan.

Wang Zhifan wanted to say that he should have slipped away earlier, but since things had come to this, he had no choice but to explain:

"The battle just now was indeed very chaotic. The enemy had a clear advantage at the beginning, so I had to use my clone stunt to forcibly hold them back. I originally wanted to use this method to let you take the opportunity to escape, but I didn't expect that all of you chose to stay and fight together. With your combined strength, the pressure on me was reduced a lot, resulting in an extraordinary performance and the victory in the end..."

The meaning of his words was very clear. Although I was the main force in the battle just now, the victory was achieved through everyone's joint efforts, and everyone played an indispensable role.

Otherwise, if he tells the truth and says that the combined contribution of all of you is less than one percent and that I am the only one who can save the situation, the situation will be quite awkward and will easily destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the team.

However, even though Wang Zhifan was laughing at this, there were still people who didn't want him to get away with it. Gu Xingchen, who was leaning on his staff with one hand and touching his chin with the other, shook his head slightly and said:

"Brother Wang, you didn't just use your clone to hold back those aliens. I remember that you broke through their two group skills at the beginning. This was also a very crucial contribution. Don't forget it."

Li Zhenguo, who was standing by, nodded immediately after hearing what he said, and said to Wang Zhifan solemnly:
"Brother Wang, I owe you so much! Even if you don't want to admit it, I think everyone knows who saved the entire team in the battle just now. We all owe you our lives!"

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan immediately waved his hand and replied:

"Captain Li, what you said is unfair! You could have teleported away just now, but you chose to stay and face the enemy's siege with me. This life is earned by everyone's own ability. There is no such thing as someone owing anyone anything!"

While the Xia team was discussing the reasons for their victory and the extent of their contribution, in a cave several hundred miles away, two white men were gathered together looking at a bronze mirror placed on the ground.

The bronze mirror was playing in a loop the image of players from another world besieging the Xia team and then being killed by the Xia team. The results shown in the mirror were hard to believe even after watching them several times.

"Why? Why were the Xia people able to win? They were fewer in number and weaker than us, yet in the end no one died! They even killed ten aliens! But we didn't kill any aliens, and instead lost fourteen companions in vain! This doesn't make sense!"

The one who made an unhappy voice at this time was Hercules, the captain of the American team. As one of the top players and leaders in the American country, he couldn't understand why his team's performance was far inferior to that of the Xia team when facing the same enemy. It was even worse than the Xia team, which he thought was weaker than his own. This made him very puzzled.

The wizard who was the deputy captain of the U.S. team and the master of magic who led the Xia team to be besieged was much calmer. He looked at the image in the mirror several times in silence and gave his own conclusion:

"The new man in their group is the key factor. His strength is beyond my expectations. He alone has thrown the alien players into chaos... But I have never heard of this man before. What is his origin?"

The wizard, who was known for his cunning, wisdom and ability to use intelligence, doubted his own intelligence gathering ability for the first time.

He thought he knew all the top players on Earth, and he had even counted many of them for easy use. But now a new monster-like face suddenly appeared in the Xia country group, which made him very confused. He couldn't understand why he had never met such an extraordinary player before.

In fact, from his perspective, this matter is really strange, because the top players are a very small group in terms of absolute numbers. As long as the top players play dungeons, they will inevitably match each other. After a few interactions, they will naturally get to know each other. It is difficult to say that there is a top player who is completely unknown to other top players. This violates the principle of probability. "You are right! I have never seen this man before. It's as if he appeared out of thin air! Maybe he is a special player secretly cultivated by the Xia Country's Administration!"

Hercules, who had a physique like a giant, looked at the image of Wang Zhifan in the mirror at his feet and nodded in response. He was also confused about Wang Zhifan's identity.

If Wang Zhifan saw this scene, he would definitely be in tears and laughter. The reason was very simple. The reason why he was very unfamiliar in the eyes of top players was not because he did it deliberately, or the management bureau used any special means to cultivate him. It was purely because he was banned by Super Game!
Just imagine, how can top players meet someone who was marked as "surpassed" by the Extraordinary Game when he was less than level 45, making him unable to enter regular copies?

Generally speaking, the top players are all level 70 and above. Before Wang Zhifan reaches level 50, he would not be matched with them in the same dungeon. By the time Wang Zhifan reached level 50, he had already been banned from the Extraordinary Game and could only play special dungeons. Therefore, he was isolated from other top players from beginning to end.

As for Li Zhenguo knowing him, it was just that they happened to be in the same place and had various interpersonal relationships connecting them, otherwise Li Zhenguo would not have noticed his existence.

Just when the captain and deputy captain of the American country were puzzled by someone who appeared out of nowhere, a team member in the cave who they had not paid much attention to suddenly walked over, seemingly attracted by their discussion.

This is a white female team member with ordinary looks, dull eyes and many freckles on her face. She is a combat member recently recruited by the American team. She is quite capable but taciturn and rarely communicates with others. Hercules and the wizard have the impression that she is a "powerful newcomer."

The white female player who had survived the siege by players from another world came quietly to the bronze mirror and stared silently at a conspicuous guy in the bronze mirror, without moving or saying a word.

Hercules immediately felt something was interesting. As the captain, he had not invited this team member to view the intelligence, but the other party showed up uninvited without fear of his reputation. She was a new female member of the American team. So the tall Hercules immediately recalled the name of the new member, then lowered his head and asked the female team member:

"Alice, what are you looking at? Do you know the person in the mirror?"

The female player named Alice nodded immediately after hearing his question, but still did not speak.

The wizard who was frowning beside her suddenly brightened up when he saw this, and turned to her and said:

"Alice, I remember that you lost your ability to speak normally due to your alienated route, but you still have the ability to communicate with your mind. Now I will materialize your voice, please feel free to tell me everything you know about this Xia country man!"

From what the wizard said, we can know that this female player is not an ordinary person. She cannot speak like normal people but can communicate telepathically. However, telepathic communication is an offensive behavior to top players, so he chose to use his own power to transform his voice into normal sound.

So, after the wizard casually cast a spell, the white female player who was standing silently beside him pursed her lips and made a sound, expressing her inner voice:
"I once saw this Xia countryman in a dungeon half a year ago. It was an extremely difficult dungeon. There was a war between two powerful worlds, and we had to help one side drive out the other. At that time, I found that my teammates were very weak, and I thought we couldn't pass the level smoothly. As a result, this man appeared in the mirror. He was so powerful as a player that it was hard to describe. He achieved a brilliant record in that war that no one could match. Even the strong people in the dungeon world could not compare to him. The rest of us players were completely led by him to pass the level..."

As the female player spoke her mind, Hercules and the wizard beside her listened carefully. Then the wizard realized something and asked the female player:

"Alice, do you remember what level you were at that time?"

"Over seventy levels."

"No, you must have remembered it wrong! If you were level 70 or above at the time, the level of this Xia player must be about the same as yours. After half a year, his level must be even higher. There is no way I don't know such a high-level and powerful player."

The wizard instantly deduced that there was something wrong with Alice's answer and gave her a suspicious look.

However, the giant Hercules next to him shook his head and said to the wizard:
"My partner, you have overlooked a possibility. Maybe this Xia countryman was at the lower limit of the dungeon level at that time, but his combat power was at the upper limit of the players, just like we were in the low-level dungeon before."

"Oh? Are you saying that this Xia countryman is less than level 50, but his strength is many times stronger than Alice who is level 70? Alice is a special player who takes the different route, and her combat power is stronger than ordinary players in their 70s! If there is such a possibility in theory, then he had very powerful equipment at a very early stage, such as epic and legendary equipment...even equipment above legendary! But why didn't we see him later? This still doesn't make sense!"

The wizard thought about what Hercules said and retorted.

The giant Hercules touched his broad chin and thought about it again:

"This is easy. Maybe it's because he has special dungeon items? For example, items that can lock a single-player dungeon so that it won't be interfered with by outsiders. I've seen similar disposable items on the market. There must be advanced versions."

"It's still not right. Even if there is such a single-player copy item, why does he keep using it? What's his purpose? Is it to protect his personal secrets? If it's for his personal secrets, why did he participate in this world war? This is self-contradictory."

After discussing for a while, the two of them determined that there were many suspicious points about Wang Zhifan. No matter how they assumed, it was difficult to make the logic consistent. As a result, their curiosity about Wang Zhifan became stronger and stronger, and they suspected that he was carrying a huge secret.

As for the female player Alice who provided them with information, she quickly withdrew from their discussion and had some personal thoughts.

In fact, this female player was the strange white woman that Wang Zhifan had seen in the Disaster Realm copy. At that time, this person was almost eliminated as a demon by the Disaster Realm monks because of her strange behavior in all aspects. It was Wang Zhifan's strong support that enabled her to persist smoothly until she passed the level, and she was lucky enough to get an epic reward when she passed the level.

Therefore, this player with a special development path was particularly impressed by Wang Zhifan. She understood the value of Wang Zhifan. (End of this chapter)
