Li Xian first stated his own name, then pointed to the sharp-eyed black-haired man beside him and said, "His name is Cao Shuai."
"Brother, this is Su Tong, my classmate."
Song Qingshan suddenly interrupted, pointing to a girl with short hair and delicate features.
Then he pointed to the long-haired girl next to the short-haired girl and said, "She's Su... By the way, what's your name again?"
"...Su Qian!"
Su Qian was so angry that she really wanted to jump up and kick Song Qingshan's knee to break.
However, upon seeing that massive, mountain-like body, she immediately chickened out.
This guy had verbally abused her before, and he has a strange personality and admires violence, so he probably won't abide by any precepts about not hitting women...
On the other side, the four frivolous men seized the opportunity to introduce themselves and express their gratitude to the Special Affairs Bureau for their rescue.
When it was the college students' turn to introduce themselves, the question was, "Are you... Fan Xiao?"
Suddenly, the college student took a step forward, looked at Fan Xiao, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Long time no see," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "I remember your name is Liu Jin, right?"
"..." College student: "My name is Liu Yuan! We've been through a dungeon together, please remember my name!"
After a loud complaint, the awkward atmosphere of the long-awaited reunion immediately became harmonious.
Liu Yuan continued, "Actually, when you came out just now... or rather, when your illusion came out, I recognized you, but I wasn't sure if it was really you. After all... how long has it been, and you've become so powerful?"
“You develop faster when you’re at a low level,” Fan Xiao said. “A few months is a long time for low-level players.”
"I've worked myself to the bone and I've only just reached Rank D."
Liu Yuan's tone was filled with admiration and envy: "I knew you were extraordinary from the beginning, but I didn't expect your momentum to be so strong!"
"Do you know?"
Du Ruo, who was standing next to her, chimed in with a question.
“I guess so,” Fan Xiao said, “as teammates during dungeon selection.”
"Oh? You two are quite destined to meet."
Du Ruo's tone was somewhat wistful.
I wonder how many of his former teammates are still alive.
"Speaking of which..." Liu Yuan continued to say to Fan Xiao, "Wasn't it a bit underhanded of you to pretend to be gay and scare me, someone you know?"
"Your teammate is dishonest."
Fan Xiao glanced at the frivolous man and laughed, "Wouldn't it be educational to let him experience what it's like to be forcibly approached by someone he doesn't like?"
"..."
Although he felt offended, the frivolous man dared not get angry at all.
The scenes of the previous massacre were still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want to suddenly explode and die a horrible death.
You still have to be timid when necessary.
"To strike up a conversation..."
Liu Yuan suddenly looked at Lu Baizhi and asked curiously, "Could she... be that younger sister from back then?"
"Yes, it's me." Lu Baizhi responded proactively, "Um... I've changed my appearance a little."
"Are you Lu Baizhi?"
Du Ruo, who was standing next to her, suddenly realized what was happening and showed a surprised expression.
No wonder she looked familiar, it turns out she's my younger sister.
But... isn't Fan Xiao's girlfriend Lu Xining?
Lu Xining often asked him for information about Fan Xiao... Could it be that the strategy failed?
Or rather... was Fan Xiao sneaking out to meet his sister-in-law in secret?
Wow, is it that exciting?
Thinking of this, Du Ruo's gaze towards Fan Xiao became playful.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Fan Xiao asked.
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just remembered a saying," Du Ruo said. "Trying to have your cake and eat it too, one wrong move and you're done for."
"and then?"
"Trying to manage ten thousand boats at once, you'll never be able to capsize them all."
"Oh, what are you implying?"
Fan Xiao asked calmly.
"It's nothing," Du Ruo said. "I can only say that those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand won't understand even if I explain."
Just as Fan Xiao was about to retort to this guy's riddle-like attitude, college student Liu Yuan asked, "By the way, where's that lady?"
Needless to say, he was referring to Lu Xining.
“Young man,” Du Ruo suddenly approached Liu Yuan, patted him on the shoulder and said, “I admit that ‘Sister Lu’ is very beautiful and a rich young lady. If you could be chosen by her, you would save yourself from struggling for generations. However… she is already taken. I advise you to give up.”
"That's not what I meant, I was just asking."
Liu Yuan quickly waved his hand, saying something that didn't mean what he meant.
He felt a little disappointed.
Although he knew it was impossible, he was still somewhat hurt by being directly told off.
"My sister was busy and couldn't come."
As Lu Baizhi answered Liu Yuan, she glanced at Du Ruo with a strange look.
She's already taken... How did he know about my sister's situation?
"Stop gossiping," Fan Xiao said to Du Ruo speechlessly. "Don't you see the atmosphere right now? Is this the right time to talk about this kind of thing?"
"Just kidding," Du Ruo said, getting back to the main point. "You really screwed us over by letting those two foreigners escape. Doesn't that expose the fact that our Special Affairs Bureau was on the move?"
"Don't worry, you're just here to rescue your own citizens. Your stance and purpose are impeccable and perfectly reasonable."
Fan Xiao said, "I killed everyone else, so why are you so nervous? In fact, I should thank you for saving my brother."
"Really?" Du Ruo asked suspiciously. "I thought you would be upset that we ruined your plan to establish your authority."
“How could that be?” Fan Xiao shook his head. “Am I the kind of person who repays kindness with ingratitude?”
"Sigh, if I had known you could use such advanced illusion magic, I wouldn't have volunteered to come along."
Du Ruo sighed softly, "The traps those foreigners set were not easy to deal with; we almost fell into them."
"Now that you mention it, I'm quite curious," Fan Xiao asked. "What did you encounter in the East District? And how did you deal with it?"
His statement was actually a veiled attempt to find out information about Li Xian.
Whether it's Du Ruo, Mercury, or Luo Hao, their attitudes and stances all subtly favor Li Xian.
In other words, the latter is very likely the team leader.
He knew the strength of Mercury and his two companions. Breaking the trap set by those foreigners would be very difficult, and even if they succeeded, they would likely suffer heavy casualties.
The fact that they were able to rescue Song Qingshan and the other two without injury is most likely due to Li Xian playing an important... or rather, a major role.
Perhaps the Special Affairs Bureau has sent the country's top players.
As one of the major powers, the top players in the country are basically equivalent to the top-tier players in the entire 010 world division.
He was genuinely curious about the skill level of players at this level.
Unfortunately, Li Xian interrupted the conversation, saying, "There's no need to dwell on the past now. It's about you..."
He pointed at Zhao Yu, who was still spinning around, and asked, "You left him here to lure out the higher-ups of the 'Black Serpent' organization?"
“That’s right,” Fan Xiao said with a smile, “How about we collaborate?”
"With your capabilities, I think you shouldn't need to cooperate with us."
Li Xian said, "'Black Snake' is an organization controlled and established by players from other regions, but there is no B-level dungeon in the 010 division yet, so B-level players from other regions cannot come over, and as for C-level players... with your illusion ability, no matter how many come, it won't make a difference."
“That’s not necessarily true,” Fan Xiao said. “The fact that B-level players can’t come over is based on common sense among players. Our understanding of evolution games isn’t that deep.”
The traces left on Earth by members of the "One-Winged" organization can be traced back nine years.
At that time, Earth had absolutely nothing to do with evolution games.
In such a situation, the other side has the means to come over, not to mention that the evolution game has now arrived, and the spacetime orbit connecting the ninth dimension has been laid outside Earth.
Ordinary players may not be able to get through, but players with special skills are unlikely to be restricted.
Take himself as an example. If he were a high-level player from another region, he could first take a low-level train to station G08-010-A1, then jump directly into the chaotic spacetime outside the station, and then, guided by luck, land safely in zone 010.
Although taking the lower-level train will result in game penalties and jumping into the time-space turbulence is extremely risky, the risks are worthwhile compared to the potential benefits.
"Hmm...that possibility certainly exists."
Li Xian nodded: "Our mission is to protect you, and I can agree to cooperate with your plan. However, we need to send them back first."
He pointed to Song Qingshan and the other two.
“Just send Su Tong and the others back,” Song Qingshan said. “Don’t worry about me, I’ll stay with my brother.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xian looked at Fan Xiao.
Fan Xiao nodded.
It's good to let Song Qingshan broaden his horizons, so that he doesn't get too arrogant.
If a powerful figure arrives, his sense of crisis will respond.
When the time comes, we can use the "Fairy Tale Town" as a cover to slip away in advance; there's basically no danger.
“I’ll take care of them for now,” Fan Xiao said. “If you send them back now, it’ll be too late by the time you get back.”
After saying that, without waiting for Li Xian to respond, he suddenly clapped his hands together.
*Snap*—A ripple spread through the air.
Li Xian and the others subconsciously looked at Su Tong and Su Qian, only to find that they had disappeared from the spot.
"Not bad, did you acquire a new item?" Mercury said. "Your methods are getting more and more bizarre."
“As mentioned earlier, it’s a spatial storage item,” Fan Xiao replied. “I obtained it in Zone 001. It has good functions, but it’s only effective for ordinary people when storing life, which is a bit of a pity.”
"Hehe, do you think I believe it or not?"
Mercury rolled his eyes.
Why would Fan Xiao so directly state the function of his props?
How funny!
“Sigh,” Fan Xiao sighed, “Nobody believes the truth these days.”
The only spatial item he possessed was "Nana's Suitcase." The disappearances of Su Tong and Su Qian were unrelated to this item; they were pulled into "Fairy Tale Town."
As for the meaning of his clapping gesture just now... it would be more convincing if he just pretended.
To avoid revealing his secret, Fan Xiao changed the subject, saying, "If we really manage to lure in some high-level players later, you guys just need to assist me from the side. Use more items that restrict movement and thought, and leave the rest to me."
"The strength of advanced players should not be underestimated."
Li Xian did not agree immediately, saying, "I will assess the level of risk myself. When I feel that we are outmatched, you must cooperate with us to escape from here immediately and not linger in the fight."
"no problem."
Fan Xiao smiled.
At this moment, a college student suddenly raised his hand and said, "Um... we're too weak, so we won't get involved."
"Although we really want to help, Liu Yuan is right, we are too weak and probably can't be of much help." Captain Qi said, seizing the opportunity, "Just in time, there is someone waiting for us to rescue, the situation is a bit urgent... Sorry, we have to leave here first."
In their team of four, the taciturn Ren Fu had only recently become an E-level player, Liu Yuan and Wang Cheng had just been upgraded to D-level, and he himself could only be considered a veteran D-level player.
With such limited strength, rashly intervening in Fan Xiao's battlefield would not only fail to help, but could also become hostages and hinder Fan Xiao.
Since that's the case, it's better to leave sooner rather than later.
