Just as Jiang Fei was still frowning over the Epic tier pet egg in his hands, a loud chime blasted away, and a global announcement popped up in his visual feed. At that moment, a 10-minute countdown timer appeared in all the player's U.I. Jiang Fei jumped to his feet in shock. 10 minutes was too short of a time to immediately decide what to do with the egg!
”WTF! The raid is almost done, but the devs want to carry out an immediate game patch!?”
”Phew. It's just the right time. I'm heading back to town to restock my potions anyway!”
”Yay! New content! I wonder what it is! I think it might be PvP-related, based on the name!”
”PvP! It's about damn time! I'm getting the itch to punch you in the face!”
…
Everyone's reaction to the sudden announcement varied rather widely. Some of them were excited for the new content, while others were annoyed especially when they were in the middle of a dungeon run. Jiang Fei was one of those who had been rudely interrupted. The current game content was hardly any trouble for Jiang Fei to clear. He had the confidence to be in that state of mind, with Isabella to back him up. However, his individual strength was not to be looked down upon. He had already cleared many hard bosses and already found the game to be boring.
As the news was released, Jiang Fei was left feeling frustrated, robbed of the time meant to use the Territory Order and build his land. A setback that spanned over three days would most definitely hinder his progress.
”Sigh…” Jiang Fei now regretted hesitating. There was really nothing he could do then. After storing the eggs in his inventory, Jiang Fei teleported back to the main city and chatted with the rest of the guild members while waiting for the server to forcefully kick them out of the game. 10 minutes passed swiftly, and when Jiang Fei was just about to crack a joke, everyone was forcefully logged out.
”Tsk.” Jiang Fei clicked his tongue. It was only three in the morning, and he could not get back to sleep! In fact, almost everyone who was forcefully logged out of the game had suffered the same fate. Everyone who played the game had already gotten used to having their bodies locked in deep sleep. Since it was a completely different experience from sleeping naturally, everyone had gotten used to waking up fully rested. As a result, no one could get back to sleep.
Since Jiang Fei had a few hours of sleep at the very least, he started to think about matters related to the Zhang family. When Zhang Yangxu had met him face to face, he meant well, even though his methods were slightly unorthodox.
Even though Jiang Fei had been mistaken for a Level 4 Metahuman, he knew very well where his strength was. The Zhangs were not in need for any superpowered metahumans for the moment, but since the world had gotten so advanced, they could not stand idly by, allowing Jiang Fei to pick a side. Jiang Fei wanted so badly, to use the privilege of a Level 4 Metahuman, hence, he could not simply engage with anyone casually. If his real capabilities were exposed, trouble would only come to him and no one else.
Ever since Han Tianyu had believed Jiang Fei to be a powerful Metahuman, he had made contact with all the named families and had informed them about the existence of Jiang Fei. He had already gotten used to how oblivious Jiang Fei was when it came to all these ”upper class” matters.
Via Han Tianyu's introduction, Jiang Fei realized that Zhang and Han were only second-rate names among the other named families. In the eyes of the plebeians of China, they were thought to be the best. However, due to the existence of metahumans, those without the support of the metahumans could only be considered second-rate. The Han family was slightly different. Due to Han Tianyu being a martial art genius, he had been able to creep into the rankings of the so-called ”first class” family. In reality, to be part of the top, he might have to wait for more than ten years to reach the strength of a Level 3 Metahuman.
