Chapter 495: No Need to Compete [7 More]

The three chairmen Zhulong, Zhantian, and Chaoge also sent inquiries, and their purpose was roughly the same as Shen Di's.

Xiao Feng responded to each one, and before he knew it, a few minutes had passed.

He lay on the bed, enjoying the service of two NPC beauties.

Dai Ni Si's strength had indeed increased a lot; she was no longer a soft, powerless little friend, and her kneading, press by press, had just the right force, making the experience quite good.

Although Mi Nie Ya had no task, she also joined in, displaying her strong charm, with her small hands specifically attacking vital spots.

Xiao Feng's attention remained on the chat, not distracted, letting them do as they pleased.

Jianzhan Cangsheng also sent him a message.

This guy knew he had returned from Shen Jie, so as soon as he came up he asked: "How was the experience in Shen Jie? Are there many players now? Can your strength sweep over there, and have you encountered any cultivators?"

His face showed four questions, all related to strength.

Xiao Feng replied: "I haven't met any players; in Yuan Su Shen Yu, aside from me, the player count won't exceed five. But looking at the rankings, players from other factions are very strong, the highest level is 350+, and there are many above 280. As for strength…… I'd still say I'm relatively strong."

Jianzhan Cangsheng heard that and replied: "Even level 350 has appeared…… that's really outrageous. I thought I was already strong, but now I see I'm just an ordinary person."

His tone was filled with intense loss and unwillingness.

As the sole person in the zone who inherited a cultivator-type profession, when he first entered the game he was full of vigor, planning to take first place in the war zone, then sweep through the heavens, and trample all civilizations underfoot.

The result was, just after leaving the novice village, he opened the rankings and saw that a person named Xiao Feng completely outclassed him in level.

Although he worked hard constantly hunting bosses, his level could never catch up.

Later, when he actually fought Xiao Feng, each time the gap widened by a bit.

By now, he couldn't even see Xiao Feng's taillights.

The once-arrogant attitude and harsh reality dealt him a heavy blow, and his confidence has been severely shaken.

Out of courtesy, Xiao Feng comforted: "Actually, it's not so bad; in the All Heavens Tower I've met many of the strongest from other civilizations, most of whom have just passed level 200, and many can't beat you. Moreover, the game has an enormous number of players; among aliens, some have deep backgrounds and bring their own cheats, so it's normal that we can't catch up."

Upon hearing the first sentence, Jianzhan Cangsheng didn't take it to heart, knowing Xiao Feng was just comforting him.

In his view, either don't compete, or if you compete, aim for the strongest; becoming just an ordinary expert is meaningless.

But the latter sentence made him frown deeply, and he couldn't help asking: "What background do aliens have? Bring-your-own cheat…… what does that mean?"

Xiao Feng replied: "Alien civilizations are very complex; some are planet lords, some are even more formidable with advanced technology, capable of interstellar duels in reality. Such people have huge influence, can mobilize connections to scavenge various treasures to boost themselves, so their strength is naturally strong. Moreover, there is a most special planet, the hometown of the game developers, which entered the game half a month earlier than us. Half a month is 150 days; you can imagine their level."

After hearing this, Jianzhan Cangsheng fell silent directly.

No matter how arrogant or conceited he became, he was still just an ordinary person.

Blue Star is just that small, with a population of only a few billion.

Even on Blue Star he couldn't stay firmly in first place; after various international competitions in games, he had won only two world championships in total.

Compared to the countless top players and elite second-generation heirs of civilizations across the vast universe, he basically amounts to nothing.

Xiao Feng advised: "Brother, don't be overambitious; just focus on improving your own strength. This world is worth delving into; if you let go of your obsession, you might even have a chance to become a regional big shot. Otherwise, it will only increase your psychological pressure, eventually causing your mindset to collapse and your progress to stall."

This was his well-intentioned advice.

Although Xiao Feng himself earlier also placed too much emphasis on strength, wanting to compete in the All Heavens Tower rankings and level rankings.

But now he has let go of many things.

Anyway, he's already that strong; there's no need to truly insist on being first.

If a person's mind contains only the two words "first," they will live a very tired life.

And playing games is inherently about relaxation and entertainment.

If playing makes you that tired, you might as well not play.

"I understand, thank you."

Jianzhan Cangsheng replied with a sentence, then cut off the chat.

After chatting a few sentences with Xiao Feng, he had many feelings, and his mindset underwent some changes.

Recently his strength has also been rapidly increasing; perhaps soon he can ascend to Shen Jie before Li Li and the others.

As for how far his future can go, that remains unknown.

After all, the game is full of the unknown; no one can be certain what tomorrow will bring.

After Xiao Feng hung up the chat, he finally had the leisure to focus his mind on Dai Ni Si and Mi Nie Ya.

After enjoying several minutes of service from the two, his body had completely relaxed, feeling so comfortable he wanted to sleep.

Dai Ni Si worked hard, even her forehead showed a faint sheen of sweat.

Mi Nie Ya also worked hard, her hands were sore.

Dai Ni Si said: "Mi Nie Ya sis, you can't play with that; Mother Goddess said you mustn't touch that thing, or something will happen!"

Mi Nie Ya replied: "Yeah, your Mother Goddess is right; that thing is dangerous, you must heed her words and absolutely not touch it! Don't fight with your sister over it!"

Yet she herself was playing it with great delight.

Xiao Feng discovered his situation and couldn't help but blush.

"That's about enough; I'm going offline." He said.

Saying that, he ended Dai Ni Si's task, allocated 100 million gold coins from his own funds, and gave them to Dai Ni Si.

"Don't rush, stay a bit longer~"

Mi Nie Ya said with a seductive expression.

……

After one hour of game time, Xiao Feng logged out of the game.

In the real world, it is now morning.

Just as he opened his eyes, Xiao Feng's stomach growled with hunger.

"This game is literally life‑draining; I always lose track of time."

He got up from the bed, feeling his hands and feet weak from hunger.

He urgently went to the bathroom, then quickly washed up, and hurried downstairs.

Maid sister Su Ni was just preparing breakfast; seeing him come downstairs, she greeted: "Boss, you've been offline for almost 14 hours—you must be starving!"

"Yeah, I feel a bit awful. Next time if I stay offline too long, remember to wake me up." Xiao Feng said weakly.

After several hours without moving, just holding his urine was enough to make him suffer.

Now his whole body feels like he's just recovered from a serious illness, extremely weak.

Su Ni poured him a cup of warm freshly squeezed soy milk and replied: "Okay, boss, I'll call you every six hours or so—don't blame me for interrupting your game and firing you in anger."

"Mm, just give me a push; if I'm not offline, it means something important came up, and I'll come down later myself." Xiao Feng replied, then began to wolf down his food.

Su Ni added: "By the way, boss, the bodyguards at home have all been withdrawn; they say a big boss hired you stronger ones, so they don't need to stay at home all day."

Xiao Feng blinked slightly, then realized it was a brand‑new security package arranged for him by Shen Di.

Without being surrounded by many bodyguards at home, his privacy would feel better.

But with everyone around being other people, he would still feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Xiao Feng was used to being powerful in the game, but in reality he felt very weak, and the gap was quite large.

While eating breakfast, he secretly thought: "If I could bring the abilities from the game into reality, that would be great—not just willpower…"
