Chapter 563 Tina: Boys are like birds that cannot stay at home once they grow up.
"Don't be so nervous. You're an A-level player, right? The governor of Lach City. Why are you so nervous talking to me?"
Fan Xiao remained silent.
Who do you think is to blame...? Arik remained silent.
Fan Xiao continued, "My clearing of Red and White Village can be considered as resolving a major disaster for your 011 district, right?"
"If we let the Ghost Queen continue to develop, her strength will eventually exceed the limit and reach a level that even top-tier A-level players cannot deal with."
"So...shouldn't you guys give me something in return?"
"...We do have rewards for a perfect clear of the Red and White Villages, but..."
Arik cautioned, "The game government of Division 011 hasn't been established for very long. This reward wasn't set by the game government, but rather by the force that used to rule White City. So... it might not be much."
"What's the reward?" Fan Xiao asked, "Items or game currency?"
“Game currency,” Arik replied. “Twenty million game currency.”
"So little?" Fan Xiao said disdainfully, "The Ghost Queen can be considered an A-level calamity! If her dungeon expands further, it will affect more than just one city."
"This... the bounty was issued a long time ago, back when nobody had much money."
Alec sighed softly, "Twenty million back then was a huge financial drain. After all, it's impossible to throw all that money into solving just one instance."
"At the time, all the major factions were short of fantasy materials, and everyone spent their game currency on building safe zones. As for Red and White Village... a simple blockade was actually less effort."
"After the bounty for defeating the Demon Queen was issued, some players initially went to challenge that dungeon, but later..."
He shook his head: "Later, apart from players from other regions who were unaware of the situation, no one from this region went there anymore."
"Players from other regions are unaware of the bounty system. In order to survive or achieve a high dungeon rating, they will spontaneously attempt to achieve a perfect clear."
"so……"
So after that, no force took control of Red and White Village. Everyone was hoping that a chivalrous hero would pass by from another region to save them from their suffering... Fan Xiao understood.
He gave a thoughtful look: "Twenty million..."
Although he complained, it was a sum of money he found on the spur of the moment, and the amount was quite substantial, so how could he really complain?
They just wanted to use a hostile attitude to extort more benefits.
At this moment, a thought was running through Fan Xiao's mind—solving the phenomenon of "dungeon bosses carving out their own territories and dominating the world" for the world divisions seemed like a very profitable business.
He still owes the Holy Maiden over 100 million, and he originally thought it would take a long time to pay it back... but maybe it won't be long.
Fan Xiao wrote down this money-making path.
Game currency is quite useful to him—mainly because it can be used to purchase fantasy materials, which can then be absorbed by Yan Keke and Fairy Tale Town to expand the scale of the dungeon.
Once the scale reaches a certain level, it will automatically advance to the next level.
There might be some limitations to advancing in this simple and direct way. But at least so far, he hasn't encountered any limitations.
Speaking of fantasy matter... maybe he could learn from Mammon's players and just rob the time train... uh, how did his morality drop so easily?
Fan Xiao quickly suppressed the thought and reminded himself that he possessed a great personality and noble character.
Therefore, innocent people should definitely not be robbed; the target of robbery can be changed to...
"A-level player just happened to offend me. An A-level player... must be quite wealthy, right? It's not unreasonable for me to take a billion from him to buy my life, is it?"
"If you don't have money, use A-grade items to pay it off!"
Fan Xiao silently made a noble decision in his heart to "avenge wrongs and seek revenge".
One should have this kind of chivalrous spirit!
After composing himself, he smiled and continued to ask Arik, "When will the bonus arrive?"
“This… are you in a hurry?” Arik said. “If you are, I can pay you in advance.”
This guy is rich, should I take this opportunity to ask for more... Fan Xiao thought to himself.
He quickly dismissed the thought.
Because there is no legitimate... or rather, no just reason.
Juan's situation, which seemed to be a mess created by Arik Lah's clumsy attempt, was actually... orchestrated by Tina behind the scenes!
Tina is his teacher.
How can students turn around and accuse a teacher of wrongdoing?
Or rather, this trouble was something he brought upon himself.
If he takes the opportunity to extort money from others... that feels like he's a real beast!
With that in mind, Fan Xiao decided to be a good person.
Money is important, but making money requires a flexible approach.
To Fan Xiao's surprise, just as he gave up the idea of extortion, Arik took the initiative to say, "Besides the rewards from the Red and White Village dungeon, this time... cough, this time it was my side that caused you a lot of trouble. If I hadn't been in such a hurry to invite you over, Juan and you wouldn't have met, and that previous battle wouldn't have happened."
At this point, a hint of guilt crept into his voice: "In short, I'm prepared to personally give you another ten million as compensation for this incident... What do you think?"
He's really playing favorites when it comes to people.
He originally thought that with Fan Xiao's abnormal strength, which allowed him to fight on par with A-level players, he probably wasn't short of money.
At least I wouldn't be interested in his money.
The other party is so eager to get a reward... It seems like they're a newcomer who has just improved their skills and hasn't had time to secure their corresponding position yet?
To put it bluntly, they're nouveau riche or country bumpkins.
Of course, even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to actually call him that.
All he wants now is to spend money to smooth over the trouble he caused.
"Only ten million... Hmph, fine, since you had a good attitude, I'll give you face this time and not pursue it."
Fan Xiao "reluctantly" agreed.
Although it wasn't Arik's fault, he couldn't reveal the real reason. Since Arik was willing to take the blame... let him take it.
Not only did he take the blame, but he also had to pay money... What a scoundrel!
Ten million is not a small amount.
The reason the Holy Maiden could afford to support him with 100 million is because the 001 partition of the G08 node has been integrated with the Ninth Dimension for many years and its development is quite advanced. Furthermore, the Holy Maiden is backed by the largest power in Roman City—the Heavenly Righteous Church, and as a high-ranking member of the church, the amount of funds she can control is naturally beyond what Arik can match.
Thank you for your understanding!
Arik said with a smile.
Things are simple after that.
Although Arik has retired and can no longer directly transfer money to Vanshaw through his player ID, he is still the governor of Lach City, so naturally someone will handle his financial affairs for him.
And so, Fan Xiao came over, got into a fight, showed off, and destroyed a lot of buildings. He didn't do a single good deed, making him an utter scoundrel.
But in the end, he walked out of the mansion with 30 million game coins, all smiles.
He was even escorted out by the regent of Lach City with utmost respect.
The consul himself was quite pleased...
Even Fan Xiao, with his thick skin, felt a little embarrassed.
He even wondered if Tina was setting him up or giving him a golden opportunity.
Fate is really wonderful.
After Vanshaw left, Arik Lah and Vicky left the damaged A1 VIP room, walked down the corridor, and returned to their office.
After sitting down at the table, Arik said with a sigh, "It's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. After such a thing happened, it was settled with only ten million... This Mr. Fan doesn't seem to be the type to hold a grudge. Thank goodness, thank goodness!"
“Ten million…” Vicki sighed, “Sir, that’s a lot! We don’t have enough funds.”
"What's ten million to an A-level player?"
Alec waved his hand and said, "Zhuang Bi Fan... uh, this name... Anyway, although this Mr. Fan is not an A-level player, he is able to fight Juan and drive him away. His ferocity is even above that of an A-level player!"
"I was quite surprised that he was willing to let this matter drop and leave for ten million. To be honest, I was just tentatively offering a number and waiting for him to haggle. I was willing to agree as long as his appetite wasn't too big. I didn't expect him to not haggle at all. He was quite... generous."
"Now that our 011 division has merged with the Ninth Dimension, foreign trade is fully open, and we have some game privileges and quotas for fantasy materials... In short, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. Ten million will soon become a small number, even if the reference frame is not a major power, but an individual."
Without a God's-eye view, Arik naturally wouldn't know that Van Chau wasn't unwilling to extort money, but rather too embarrassed to do so.
After saying this, his expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he instructed Vicky, "Pass the word! Tell everyone in the manor to forget what happened today and not to make a sound! If I find anyone daring to go out and talk about it..."
"I see!"
Vicky nodded seriously and solemnly, indicating that she knew the seriousness of the matter.
What happened today is Juan's scandal.
If they dare to spread rumors, Juan will dare to cause them trouble.
When an A-level player gets angry, their killing efficiency is incredibly high!
Perhaps considering the issue of the wanted bounty, Juan might have reservations about such a mad act as massacring the city.
But simply wiping them out won't make anyone stand up for them.
Unfortunately, their efforts were destined to be in vain.
Because the person in question has already revealed this information themselves.
Of course, the news didn't originate from them, so it had nothing to do with them.
……
2:40 PM.
After leaving the governor's residence, Fan Xiao took out the Key of Mammon and logged into the Mammon network on node G02.
With the thought that "I'm disgusted with myself, so it's not too much to extort some money from me," he started posting on the player forum.
The title... he chose a title that would easily attract people to click—
[A-level player Juan appears in Lach City! He offends a mysterious powerful figure and gets brutally beaten! He flees in disarray! Now he's being demanded a massive 10 billion in compensation!]
"As the title says. I'm the one who chased this idiot away!"
“Juan, I know you’re still in Lach City. I’ll pay to pin this post so you’ll definitely see it.”
"I'm giving you half a month to gather 10 billion game coins and transfer them to this account."
"Otherwise... hey, while Mammon members can't kill each other, there are plenty of other ways to kill you!"
“I wouldn’t mind having one more of your A-grade items in my inventory.”
After posting, Fan Xiao found the AI administrator "Da Yue" and spent 100 million game coins to purchase a package that would feature the best advertising spot for a week.
Expensive...it is indeed a bit expensive.
But it doesn't matter, the wool will come from the sheep.
Once Juan's compensation arrives, this advertising fee will be nothing.
If Juan refuses to provide compensation... He currently only has one A-grade item, and who would complain about having too many of these?
The more the better!
He refused to believe that with his two S-class psionic powers, he could hunt down, ambush, and play dirty tricks... and still not kill a mere trash A-class player.
Finally, an A-level player appeared who had a grudge against him, and he didn't have to hold back when they fought... Fan Xiao admitted that he was slightly excited.
As for how he could be so sure that he would inherit an A-grade item after killing someone... he had already estimated it using "quantum immortality." He only needed to accumulate less than half a month's worth of luck to forcibly lock in his future of obtaining the "Golden Courtyard."
Therefore, he set the time limit in the post at half a month.
"I feel like... I both hope he'll honestly give me the money, and I also hope he won't, so I can rob the props... It's a really contradictory feeling."
"Wouldn't it be a bit too much to want them all?"
While pondering how much moral value he would lose by trying to have everything, Fan Xiao checked the status of his posts.
The AI "Big Key" is highly efficient.
In the player forum, there are ten prominent pinned posts, and his post has been moved to the third position.
Seeing this, Fan Xiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Unconsciously, he had grown to the point where he dared to extort A-level players using his real name.
