"...This item is actually with you..."
Charlotte was very surprised.
Speaking of which... this prop could actually talk?
She was, after all, a queen, and quickly composed herself, responding to Fan Xiao's question by asking, "May I ask... what are the conditions?"
She was quite convinced by the information provided by the white epaulettes, her trump card.
In other words, the strength of the man in front of her far exceeded her imagination!
She remembered that the other party was only a B-level player not long ago... Thinking about it now, it seems even more terrifying.
"I have destroyed the Twilight Council. From now on, there will be no more underground emperors at the G08 node."
"However... this is my hometown, and I don't want any more trouble to happen here, so... I'll be in charge here from now on. If your Xilun royal family wants to develop, you have to accept my control and abide by the rules I set."
"The liaison with the game company will still be led by your royal family, but the allocation of resources will be decided by me."
"..."
Charlotte forcibly suppressed the urge to furrow her brow, not daring to show her anger.
Nori realized the seriousness of the conversation, so she buryed her head in the sand, hoping her mother wouldn't do anything foolish.
Melissa, on the other hand, observed Van Shaw repeatedly, her gaze slightly cautious.
"Mr. Fan, you destroyed the Twilight Council just to... become the second Jafari Trifle?"
"Don't confuse me with him. I set the rules to make this point better, not to let it continue to deteriorate."
Fan Xiao's face lost some of its smile and gained more of a domineering air: "As long as your Xilun royal family doesn't do anything stupid, given the connection between me and your two daughters, I can give you a chance to become my representative at this juncture and temporarily handle all matters related to the game company on my behalf."
"The royal family of Xilun can also take advantage of this opportunity to reach new heights."
"Of course, my permission for your Xilun royal family to develop under my name is conditional—you all have to abide by my rules. So, you'd better deal with the internal problems of your royal family as soon as possible."
"..."
Charlotte composed herself as she asked, "Mr. Fan, what exactly... rules are you going to establish? And how can you convince me that you were the one who destroyed the Twilight Council?"
"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. In a while, my rules will come into effect as regulations at this point, and then you will understand what I mean by 'rules'."
Fan Xiao said meaningfully, "If you agree to my proposal, then before my rules are implemented, before everything is clear, take a gamble on me and give a clear answer."
"Otherwise... adding flowers to brocade can never compare to providing charcoal in the snow."
"If you want to get close to me, then be prepared to do the right thing."
Having said that, he summoned the random entrance to the "Fairy Tale Kingdom" instance to this place, preparing to leave.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and reminded Queen Charlotte, "Oh, right, in about a month to two months, a powerful figure from a game company will visit node G08. They may or may not make contact with the game government of your 001 division. If they do... have the person in charge of receiving them tell the visitor to come to division 010, where they can see the person they want to see."
After saying this, he disappeared from the spot.
The three women inside the palace breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Nori whispered in admiration, "I never imagined the Earl... had this side to him. He's so handsome."
"..."
Queen Charlotte glanced at her youngest daughter.
Nori shrank her shoulders and quickly explained, "Uh...no, I meant me. I didn't mean to belittle you, Mom. I was just expressing my feelings, really."
“Go back to your own palace.”
Charlotte said in a cold voice.
Nori felt as if she had been granted a pardon and fled the palace as if she were escaping.
She was actually quite interested in the topic of arranged marriage that had just been discussed... but she didn't dare to ask.
After Norrie left, Charlotte returned to her seat and waved to Melissa, saying, "You can go down too."
“Mom, I think you can agree,” Melissa suggested. “Based on my understanding of Van Shaw, his so-called rule-making will definitely be biased in favor of the G08 node. Although it may suppress the royal power of the Western Kingdom, but... if we vote for him first, we can act as his representative in the future, and the gains will definitely outweigh the losses.”
"..."
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then asked, "You and Norrie... what exactly is your relationship with him?"
"No way, Mom, you're still thinking about an arranged marriage?" Melissa pouted. "Didn't you see how he treats me like an elder? If it's really going to be an arranged marriage, instead of letting Nori and me go, you should go yourself, Mom... Uh, I mean, Nori and I aren't a good match."
She realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly stopped talking.
Making jokes about Her Majesty the Queen in this kind of matter... she's probably going to get a beating!
Just as Melissa was worried, to her surprise, Charlotte seemed to have no intention of punishing her. She simply gave her a deep look and then waved for her to leave.
Before leaving, he gave her a final instruction: "Inform the other nobles in my name that Rice Manor belongs to the newly crowned Earl Shaw Van, whose title is hereditary. Also, if you have nothing to do recently, go to Division 010 and find a mentor."
"..."
"Mom has made a decision..." Melissa breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely worried that her proud and arrogant mother might lose her composure and confront Fan Xiao because she couldn't stand his tone.
Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary...
wrong!
Something is wrong!
Why wasn't she punished?
Ah this...
……
Partition 010.
Spirit City.
After returning home through the "Fairy Tale Kingdom," Fan Xiao looked at the familiar living room and felt a sense of déjà vu, as if a long time had passed.
Actually, he wasn't gone for more than a few days.
Perhaps... too many things happened, causing him to have a misperception of time.
Fortunately, it's all finally over.
Now that the Twilight Council has perished and Dr. Zhuang has disappeared, the ambitious Queen Charlotte, who had been harboring resentment, has abandoned her unrealistic ideas after his kind persuasion... Node G08 has finally ushered in a rare period of peace and stability.
To maintain this stability, his dungeon fusion plan needs to be accelerated.
As long as he can fuse with S, protecting his hometown will no longer be just talk—he means protecting his hometown from all dangers.
The dangers here include not only hardcore gamers but also game companies.
By then, he will have a base of his own.
Whale Fall will take root and grow in this base, providing him with the immense divinity needed to embark on the path to godhood once he has acquired the three essential items for becoming a super player... Regardless of whether he chooses this path in the future, it's always good to prepare in advance.
Even if you don't need it yourself, you can give it to someone close to you.
On the other hand, there's the "rules"—the rules he mentioned to Queen Charlotte.
The rules here refer to the philosophy that Whale Fall wants to uphold, as well as some of the rules of the S-level dungeons he will create in the future.
Once a dungeon becomes powerful enough, its rules can spread and permeate an entire node.
There are precedents for this.
For example, the "King in Yellow" of node E02.
Fan Xiao doesn't expect to reach this level of dungeon in one step; this is his future vision.
What he's going to establish are definitely rules that guide people towards goodness... or rather, copy rules.
Once implemented, following the rules will no longer be just lip service.
Because those who don't follow the rules will actually be punished.
Although he didn't possess the obsessive, almost twisted, dedication of Fan Xiaoxiao from the "Four Worlds' Dream" instance, he wasn't as pathetic as Fan Xiaoxiao portrayed him to be; he wasn't so incapable of even having the courage to change the world.
His experience with the game over the past year—the madness of players, the suffering of ordinary people, the tragic world after the collapse of order—was far from unmoved.
Once he has the ability to handle these troublesome matters easily, he doesn't mind taking action.
Of course, this is not entirely out of a spirit of dedication.
Although he possesses a great personality and noble character, he is also a human being, and humans have selfish desires—the emergence of the punishment rules can indirectly accelerate the incubation of the Whale Fall Organization's ideology at the G08 node.
At that time, the speed at which he gathers divinity will definitely increase significantly.
……
"Darling, my copy seems to have reached partition 004, which is much faster than I expected... Is this normal?"
Vanshaw received a badge message from Lucia.
Lucia isn't the only one asking this question.
His junior sister and Lu Xining had asked him similar questions not long ago.
Fan Xiao responded to Lucia with the Badge of Justice: "I'm using luck to assist in the traction, don't worry about it, it's normal."
"With Darling's help, the drift direction of the dungeon shouldn't be wrong, so does that mean people don't need to keep an eye on it anymore?" Lucia then asked.
Fan Xiao replied, "Just say you want to come."
Lucia: "Hehe."
Fan Xiao: "But I have people all here, so even if you come over, I won't have any time to spend alone with you."
Lucia was silent for a while.
Then a new message came: "Then I brought Sakura along. It's rare for everyone to be here, so it's a good opportunity to get together."
Fan Xiao cautioned, "You should use the Justice Badge less often to send these kinds of messages in the future. After all, the badge is a creation of the court, and our information may be on record and can be accessed, or even monitored in real time."
Lucia wanted to reply, "Is your darling shy?", but remembering what Fan Xiao had said, she suppressed the thought.
Although she didn't mind being affectionate with Fan Xiao in public, the fact that such private information was being accessed by unrelated people... made her feel uncomfortable, no matter how good-tempered she was.
Hmm... We really can't use badges to send these kinds of messages anymore.
We can only hope that Darling's copy will be merged as soon as possible.
Soon, Lucia, with Sakura in tow, arrived at Division 010 through the "Fairy Tale Kingdom" and at the living room of the Fan Xiao family.
As was customary, Fan Xiao first introduced Lucia and Sakura to his parents.
This can also be considered as giving them "family certification".
The living room of Fan Xiao's house is directly connected to the official entrance and exit of the "Fairy Tale Kingdom". Yan Keke's power thus covers an area of several hundred to several thousand meters around, including the entire house. This can be considered as the current dungeon rule of the "Fairy Tale Kingdom", the area that can be affected after spreading out through the entrance and exit.
Within this area, the passive effects of Lucia's A-level psionic energy were completely suppressed by Yan Keke's power.
As long as Lucia doesn't actively increase her psionic output, she can live a normal life here... Well, it's just that her mental charm has disappeared, but her physical perfection is still enough to amaze people at first glance.
Anyway, Fan Xiao's parents and younger sister Xiao Yu were all amazed.
Only Song Qingshan, with his erratic thought process, was unaffected by the physical good looks. He pursed his lips and muttered "pretty face" before running away from home. The house had become increasingly eerie lately, and Lu Xining, Lu Baizhi, and Yin were secretly beating him under the guise of "training him," seemingly harboring a deep grudge against him for no apparent reason. He, a grown man, couldn't even beat a skinny stick, a fat guy, and a little potato... He was too ashamed to stay at home any longer and had to move out for a while.
Brother, how long have you been neglecting your physical training?
Once he's strong enough, he'll definitely correct his elder brother's decadent mindset!
……
“Oh, right,” Fan Xiao said to his parents, “Lucia and I are in that kind of relationship too.”
"..."
Song Jianbai and Wang Zhenzhen both fell silent for a moment.
Fan Xiao... doesn't even bother to pretend anymore.
The two used to worry about Fan Xiao's marital problems, and now... the worry is still there, but the things they're worried about have changed.
Song Jianbai glanced to the side at his daughter, Song Yu, and sighed softly in his heart—Little Yu, it's not that your father doesn't want to help you, but... your opponents are all gods!
Wang Zhenzhen sighed inwardly.
She felt she could no longer expect Fan Xiao to have a normal marriage.
So many female confidantes… As a mother, she was happy for her child. But as a woman… she felt a strong urge to give Fan Xiao a good beating.
