"Oh?" Du Ruo asked, "Judging from your tone... have you found a clue to clear the game?"

"No, I've already met the conditions for clearing the checkpoint, and I can leave at any time now."

Fan Xiao dropped a bombshell.

Du Ruo and the others were so surprised that they were all confused.

Huh... I've already cleared the game?

It's only been a morning, hasn't it?

Isn't this one of the most difficult D-rank dungeons?

Suppressing her surprise, Du Ruo asked, "Are you sure?"

"We found the diary, so we can leave anytime we want."

Lu Xining answered on behalf of Fan Xiao.

Then she looked at Fan Xiao, and after receiving his approval, she began to recount the background information of this instance.

The five members of the Special Affairs Bureau all looked amazed after hearing this.

Du Ruo's expression was complicated: "I didn't expect your guess to be true. A town in a fantasy world, a spiritual world... that's really outrageous!"

"Have the girls of this town always been attached to us...?"

Liu Xue touched her bare chest, her emotions overriding her reason, and said with a hint of reluctance, "I really want to help them, but... their wishes are probably beyond our capabilities."

"Sigh, we're just passing through, don't think about it too much."

Mr. Huang comforted her.

At this moment, Fan Xiao reminded them, "Try touching the diary first. Once you touch it, you've fulfilled the second task requirement and can leave at any time."

He raised his right hand and opened his palm.

Seeing this, the others came over and touched his hand.

Everyone received a game notification the next second.

"What do you need our help with?" Du Ruo asked.

"I plan to try the third task condition. Of course, I can't say whether I will succeed, but I have to give it a try."

Fan Xiao said to the five people, "For this reason, other players are an obstacle for me."

"Kill them all?" Liu Xue asked.

“…Xiaoxue, you’re so violent,” Fan Xiao said.

Liu Xue shrugged: "I'm just offering suggestions based on your habits."

“Killing them is unnecessary,” Fan Xiao said. “I plan to let them touch the diary as well, and then send them all away.”

"Wouldn't that be too easy on them?" Boss Huang reminded him, "You could take this opportunity to rip them off."

"No wonder your nickname is Boss Huang."

Fan Xiao nodded: "That's my plan too, but the players are all unruly. They probably won't trade with me honestly; they'll choose to rob me outright."

"So, I need you guys to back me up."

"The eight of us standing there, along with the ten corpses on the ground, are enough to sober up and cool down the other players."

“Sure,” Du Ruo nodded. “You’ve essentially led us through the game, so this little favor is no trouble at all.”

Liu Xue nodded: "I'm fine with that too."

The other three also agreed.

“By the way,” Fan Xiao asked, “are you interested in the conditions for the third mission?”

“No interest,” Du Ruo shook her head. “I don’t have your ability to kill illusions. Every second I stay here is another second of danger.”

“I’m not interested either,” Liu Xue said.

“Me too,” Mr. Huang followed closely behind.

The remaining two people gave the same answer.

Seeing their unspoken understanding, Fan Xiao suddenly asked, "Are you really not interested, or... are you afraid that if you stay, I will make a move against you?"

"...Haha, Brother Fan, you're overthinking it. We still have that much trust in you." Boss Huang chuckled.

“That’s right, we absolutely did not think that way.”

"Exactly, aren't we teammates? Trust is the foundation."

"Yes, yes, it's wrong to doubt your teammates."

The others chimed in with their agreement.

Their faces were full of sincerity.

The sincerity was almost deliberate.

"..."

Fan Xiao stopped dwelling on the matter and said, "Let's go, let's try to get all the players gone before this afternoon."

He led the group outside and patted Li Jian on the shoulder: "It's your turn. Just like last night, shout a few more times to attract the other players."

Li Jian: "..."

Forget it, once you've lost face the first time, losing it a second time won't be a big deal anymore.

"Cough, cough..."

He coughed a few times to clear his throat, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone come quick! I found the diary! We can all clear the level and leave right away!"

"Everyone……"

He yelled for almost five minutes before he finally stopped.

To ensure the best effect, Fan Xiao used the "Dustless Shield" to fly Li Jian into the air and let him continue shouting for another five minutes.

Li Jian gritted his teeth and went all out.

He's not going to care about saving face today!

On the other side, Fan Xiaopiao felt awkward just listening to it.

Fortunately, the broadcast was very effective, and soon a lot of players gathered around Lu Xining's house.

Chapter 133 Don't resist, just enjoy it.

Fan Xiao was very patient. He took Li Jian for a flight over the town and shouted all around.

It took him more than an hour to land on the ground after all the players had been drawn by the shouts, and then he began to introduce his business.

As he had anticipated, as soon as he finished his introduction, some players objected: "Why should we believe you?"

"Exactly! Last night you guys even formed a team and went door-to-door fishing. You guys are so sneaky!"

"The ten players who fell here, were they all killed by you? Who knows if you're up to some kind of trickery again?"

"Not only did he kill, but he also dismembered the body... Disgusting!"

Everyone was talking at once and was very uncooperative.

Fan Xiao, who had anticipated this, was not surprised.

He replied, "Don't put it so harshly. What, do you think all players have to be moral exemplars? What's wrong with playing dirty and killing a few people?"

"Moreover, the fact that we're fishing demonstrates that we have a high moral standard, at least higher than the ten players lying on the ground."

"Otherwise, we would have killed you one by one last night. You can't deny that last night was a great opportunity to strike, can you?"

"That's just your side of the story."

"Exactly, what if you take our money and then try to renege on it?"

"There are many items that can influence people through touch. Who knows if you possess such an item and are trying to trip us up?"

Clearly, players aren't that easy to talk to.

Fan Xiao then issued a well-timed threat: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Since we were able to avoid the old woman with the dried corpse and find you one by one last time last night, we can certainly do it again tonight."

“If you don’t leave now, by tonight… hey, I can’t guarantee I’ll still be as kind as I was last night.”

"..."

The players hesitated.

Fan Xiao continued, "To prove my sincerity, I can have my teammates demonstrate for you first. Watch closely."

After attracting the players' attention, he glanced at Liu Xue, who was standing next to him.

Liu Xue nodded, walked over, and touched his right hand.

In fact, Liu Xue had already touched the diary and met the conditions for passing the level.

This is just a demonstration for others.

After touching hands, Liu Xue chose to complete the dungeon.

The next second, she was teleported away and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, some players immediately took out their devices that could detect the number of players on site and surveyed the surrounding area.

After confirming that the numbers matched exactly, the player nodded and said, "You weren't lying, that woman was indeed moved out of the instance."

"It's also possible that the woman has a teleportation or teleportation item and teleported herself to the other side of the town. It doesn't necessarily mean she left the instance. Don't be careless."

Some players have raised suspicions.

Their vigilance did not wane.

“Impossible,” said the player holding the detection item. “My item is D-grade, with a wide detection range that can basically cover the entire town.”

"See? I have proven my sincerity."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "It's your turn to make a decision."

Upon hearing this, a tall, thin player suddenly shouted, "Everyone! The diary is in his hands, why don't we just go and snatch it ourselves? It'll save us the trouble of spending 20,000 game coins. There are more of us, let's attack together!"

"Hehe, then you take the lead."

Immediately, some players mocked.

Other players didn't seem to react either.

Having reached the D-level player rank, they're certainly not fools; why would they be used as pawns?

Those corpses on the ground were not just for show.

Ten players were killed just like that. Who would believe that the other party didn't have some impressive skills?

Upon seeing this, the tall, thin player's face darkened.

The situation was somewhat unexpected.

At this moment, Fan Xiao's gaze suddenly fell on him, and he grinned: "You're pretty tough, aren't you? Looks like you're very confident in your abilities. In that case, I won't do business with you."

"..."

The tall, thin player's face immediately turned ugly.

"It won't do you any good if I stay here," he said, trying to appear weak.

"Are you sure you can stay?" Fan Xiao chuckled. "Once everyone else leaves, I'll just take care of you, won't I?"

"..."

"but."

Fan Xiao suddenly changed the subject: "I'm a very kind person, and I'm willing to give you another chance—10 game coins, and I'll send you out."

"100,000...!?" the tall, thin player exclaimed. "How did this suddenly increase by so much? That's five times!"

"I just saved your life, you have to pay me."

Fan Xiao said matter-of-factly, "Consider the extra 80,000 as your life-saving money."

When did you ever save me?
