Chapter 819: Is it a fake?
Zhu Shen Da Lu, War City.
Xiao Feng hasn't been back for over half a month.
This time I came back mainly to see if the Judgement Guild has disbanded, and also to check how the Bang Country's "Ba Fu Guild" is doing.
"Brothers, is there anything fun happening on the continent lately?" Xiao Feng opened the guild channel and shouted.
The channel immediately filled with lots of meaningless content like "The guild master is back", "The guild master is awesome", "The guild master is the most handsome, seeking a sponsor", etc.
After a little while, the new elder of the Demolition Team stationed in Zhu Shen Da Lu, "Xuan", said: "There's nothing major going on; it's just a few guilds stuck at ascension fighting each other. Our Demolition Team and the old super guilds of the Gods have all fallen to second tier, basically not competing; the Judgement Guild has disbanded, and everyone has moved to Shen Jie."
Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.
The Judgement Guild fleeing is understandable; it's just a pity there's no opponent anymore.
He still hoped someone clueless would come provoke the Demolition Team, so he could find an excuse to tear down their base.
If there's no conflict, he wouldn't feel right just showing up to beat someone.
After all, he's still a Civilization Lord; he can't target his own area's people too much.
"Alright, then everyone just play around; I'll take a stroll and head back to Shen Jie." Xiao Feng said, and casually tossed a few mid-grade divine artifacts taking up his backpack into the warehouse.
Hmm… I'm reluctant to give away the low-grade divine artifacts I'm wearing, because I want to save them for those who need them more!
Xiao Feng opened the friend function and conducted a friend search.
Enter player serial number: 147361521, click confirm, and a player's information popped up.
【Seek Defeat】
Level: 187
Occupation: Setting Sun Swordsman
Guild: Jianghu Wanderers
This is his father Xiao Qin Tian's game account.
Xiao Feng sent a friend request, with verification message: "You rascal, my son!"
Then he searched another serial number: 825503595, clicked confirm.
Immediately another piece of information popped up.
【Peace of Mind】
Level: 122
Occupation: Mage
Guild: Jianghu Wanderers
"What's going on, Mom's level is so much lower than Dad's?"
Xiao Feng felt puzzled.
It's understandable that his parents' levels are a bit low, after all they started the game later than others.
Moreover, they've hardly ever played this kind of game before, so they get the hang of it slowly.
But the two of them play together in the same guild, yet their levels differ so much, which is inevitably confusing.
He sent another friend request with the same verification.
Soon, the verification for "Seek Defeat" passed.
"You little brat, is that really you?" came the voice of his father Xiao Qin Tian.
Xiao Feng immediately replied: "Of course, this game binds the soul; no one else can log into my account. Dad, where are you? I'll come take you to fight bosses and clear dungeons!"
The offline celebration dinner for Old Zhang and Old Li's housewarming is still far off; converting to game time, we can play all day, no need to log off yet.
Xiao Qin Tian hearing that familiar voice relaxed.
He then sighed: "Although I can't log in for you, there are just too many people named Xiao Feng lately—I've run into several, all fakes, and seeing them swagger and scam makes me furious! If I'd known, I'd have given you an obscure name!"
"Hahaha~"
Xiao Feng laughed loudly: "It's not that bad; if I used an obscure character I'd have to cry every time I took an exam!"
"Saying that is one thing, but I'm angry! Those impostors are uglier than each other, nowhere near my superior genes. Mainly, that bunch is so disgusting—they scam young girls' feelings and ordinary folks' coins; if I could beat them, I'd really want to thrash them into grandchildren!" his father said with a tone of deep resentment.
Xiao Feng also felt somewhat helpless.
There are indeed quite a few players in Blue Star 8 War Zone who share his name, basically all compatriots from the Dragon Nation.
Honest people get annoyed by sharing his name and deliberately avoid him.
Meanwhile, those with ill intentions use his fame to swagger and swindle!
On the biggest offline player forum these days, there have been over a hundred reports of being scammed by "Xiao Feng", and someone even made a dedicated post exposing the IDs of those fake Xiao Fengs to prevent more people from being duped.
"I don't have a great solution for those people either; not all same-named players are bad. If we issued a wanted order to capture them, many innocents would get caught up." Xiao Feng sighed, saying this kind of thing can only be dealt with by individually educating or apprehending them.
But there are too many to catch them all.
Moreover, troublemakers aren't just those calling themselves "Xiao Feng"; there are also "Xiao Feng's Father", "Xiao Feng's Grandfather", "Xiao Feng's Alt", and other malicious players that have subsequently appeared.
"Ah, never mind that, it's depressing! I'm currently doing a level 200 dungeon 【Sunken City】 with my guild friends—it's in the northern part of War City; once we finish, I'll come find you." Xiao Qin
said.
"Sunken City?" Xiao Feng searched his memory and found he'd never run this dungeon.
But judging by the location, it should be the place where he and He Er Na first found a fragment of the Civilization Sword.
There, a demigod-level plesiosaur resides—ordinary players still find it tough to handle!
But a plesiosaur is a plesiosaur, a dungeon is a dungeon; you can't lump them together.
"Can you clear the dungeon? Do you need my help?" Xiao Feng asked.
Xiao Qin Tian replied: "No need, there are three level‑250 buddies leading the team; it's fairly easy. If you're free, go find your mom first—she's playing a life profession in War City, doing fashion design, and she never wants to join when we shout for a dungeon run."
"Er, okay, then you go ahead; call me when you're done, and I'll go see Mom." Xiao Feng finally understood why his parents' levels differed so much.
Purely playing a life profession is actually not bad either; one can enjoy the fun of casual gaming.
However, if the level doesn't increase, then in the future there will be no way to ascend to Shen Jie, which will be a bit troublesome.
After hanging up the call with my father, my mother's friends over there have also been added.
"Are you Xiao Feng? You're not an impostor, are you?" Mother Su Yuxia asked cautiously.
It seems she, too, has been given a psychological shadow by a player with the same name.
Xiao Feng felt somewhat helpless, but didn't say more, smiling: "Exactly, your dear son. Mom, where are you? I'm at the central Teleportation Array in War City; come over to find you to play."
Hearing it was him, Mother Su Yuxia immediately laughed: "You little rascal, you've finally come back. Mom is now in the Life Profession District, at the workshop of the Divine-level fashion designer Luoma'er. Hurry over, Mom hasn't seen you in a long time!"
"Okay, I'll be there right away!"
Xiao Feng smiled, opened the map to search the location, and immediately a Wind Riding Technique shot forth, like a bolt of lightning, straight toward the target location.
In less than 15 seconds, he arrived.
NPC Luoma'er Master, the highest-level instructor of the War City fashion designer life profession, generally only requires her guidance after one's skills have been trained to the advanced level.
After that, there are the Master level, Grandmaster level, Mythic level, and Supergod level.
After reaching Supergod level, all professions are uniformly called 'God's XX Master'; professions can no longer be promoted, and whether one can produce high-quality items mainly depends on materials and success rate factors.
As of now, fewer than ten life-profession players in the whole region have reached Supergod level—just imagine how difficult that is!
Xiao Feng's mother being able to reach the advanced level shows her progress is already very fast.
