All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 402 Banquet
After a while, Wang Zhifan, who had vaguely gained some inspiration for cultivation through conversation with Ying, returned to the real world.

He and Ying had agreed that Ying would temporarily move around the quantum dream portal. While ensuring her safety, she would skillfully control the clone that Wang Zhifan had made for her, and conduct preliminary investigations into the situation in a small area outside.

At other times, she has to return to the quantum dreamland to continue maintenance. When Wang Zhifan has almost figured out this inner world, he will find a way to give her a better carrier for her to explore various parts of the world.

At this time, Wang Zhifan appeared in the western-style building in Dongcheng Villa of Dongjiang City. He found his mobile phone and checked the time. He found that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. The screen also showed missed calls from Chen Ming and Chen Can.

"Damn it, there was some error in time management."

Realizing that he was late for the banquet, Wang Zhifan immediately called Chen Ming and the others back, telling them that he had something urgent to do and would be there soon.

The Chen Ming brothers seemed to understand that he was a busy man who was busy all day long, and immediately said that they would not be a problem since their banquet had just started.

“It’s best to drive there.”

For this kind of social event, even though the target location was not far away, Wang Zhifan did not intend to show off his kung fu and ran directly there. He once again drove out the BMW luxury car that he had not used many times since he bought it from the garage.

About ten minutes later, he drove to the urban area of ​​Dongjiang and came to the Wansheng Restaurant owned by the Chen Group, which he had visited before.

When he parked his car in the parking space, a young man with thick black hair, wearing glasses and a high-end suit came out of the restaurant to greet him. It was Chen Can, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

"I'm sorry, A-Chan! I had planned to come before 2 o'clock, but I was still late!"

After getting out of the BMW luxury car, Wang Zhifan quickly apologized again to the organizer of the banquet in front of him, mainly because he had promised others that he would arrive early, but he did not keep his promise.

"It's okay, Brother Fan! Xiao Ming and I know how busy you are. We're very happy that you can come to the party!"

After hearing this, Chen Can smiled brightly, as if he knew very well that Wang Zhifan was usually very busy.

"I've been a bit busy lately... But let's not talk about that now. What's the theme of your party today? Why are you being so secretive?"

Wang Zhifan closed the car door and followed Chen Can towards the magnificent and luxurious Wansheng Hotel.

This entire hotel, including the land, is owned by Chen Can's family, and it is very likely not even ranked among their family's assets, which is enough to show how strong the Chen Group's financial resources are.

"Brother Fan, you misunderstood. There is no mystery here. Xiao Ming and I just made some friends as gamers, and we invited everyone to a party and dinner. We don't have any special purpose."

Chen Can immediately replied with a smile, his tone quite casual.

"Just a simple gathering? As a manager of a big company, do you have so much free time?"

Wang Zhifan replied with some disbelief. The main reason was that he understood that the young man in front of him belonged to the social elite. He definitely had a variety of high-end business to deal with on a daily basis, and generally speaking, he would not have much free time.

But Chen Can shook his head slightly and responded:

"Brother Fan, times have changed. I used to have very little time to attend banquets like this, but since I became a player, my old man has forced me to reduce the number of projects on hand and asked me to spend more time studying and playing dungeons to improve my strength. It was the old man's idea to invite my player friends to a party today..."

His explanation made Wang Zhifan realize the impact that becoming a player had on the Chen family's decision-making. Many chores in reality were not as important as playing dungeons, even in the eyes of the older generation.

Of course, this is definitely closely related to the fact that playing dungeons is life-threatening, and the older generation hopes that future generations will be well prepared to reduce the possibility of dying in dungeons.

"Your parents really have good intentions..."

With a slight sigh, Wang Zhifan and Chen Can walked into the elevator on the first floor of the hotel and quickly arrived at the eighth floor of Wansheng Hotel.

It was the first time for him to come up to this floor. He saw that the decoration here was magnificent and grand. In the middle was a large living room of at least 500 square meters. Many bright and beautiful waiters and waitresses and guests were coming and going in it. Some were talking eagerly, and some were tasting various delicacies neatly arranged in the living room.

Around the large living room, there are many different activity rooms, including places for people to play cards and mahjong, places for playing billiards and table tennis, and even indoor basketball courts and 4D cinemas.

"Mr. Chen! Brother Fan!"

"Hello, Mr. Chen! Hello, Brother Fan!"

……

When Wang Zhifan and Chen Can walked into the living room together, the security personnel guarding various positions nodded and greeted them one by one. What's interesting is that these people not only called Chen Can "Mr. Chen", but also called him "Brother Fan" when they saw Wang Zhifan come in, as if they all knew him.

"My goodness...am I that famous?"

This unexpected situation made Wang Zhifan feel a little awkward, mainly because it was the first time he met these people, but these people acted like they were very familiar with him, which made him a little uncomfortable.

This embarrassment was greatly intensified in the next second, because another organizer of the banquet, Chen Can's younger brother Chen Ming, also noticed Wang Zhifan's arrival.

The 14-year-old boy was talking with a dozen guests in front of him. When he saw Wang Zhifan, he immediately ran over, ignoring the large number of guests around him, and shouted to Wang Zhifan:

"Brother Fan! You're finally here! I missed you so much!"

"..."

For a moment, Wang Zhifan, who was already feeling a little embarrassed, couldn't help but twitch his lips. It's not like he hasn't seen big battles before. After all, he has been a gangster boss, a continental overlord, etc. in the dungeon, but it's the first time that he has been watched by so many people in reality. "A Ming! Stop making such a fuss all the time!"

Chen Can couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, and immediately scolded his younger brother.

But Chen Ming didn't seem to care. He ran over in a high-profile manner and replied nonchalantly:

"Hey! Brother, it's been a while since I last saw Brother Fan! It's normal to be a little excited!"

When this guy met up with Wang Zhifan and Chen Can, many guests in the living room turned their attention to Wang Zhifan, the center of attention, and many of them began to discuss in a low voice.

"That man is Brother Fan? He really looks extraordinary, and it's obvious that he's an expert!"

"Fuck! Is this the boss that Er Shao often mentions in his videos? This time I see him in person?!"

"He looks really strong! I can sense that his vitality is terrifyingly strong! I wonder what level of boss he is!"

"Uh... Bro, excuse me, is this Brother Fan famous? How come I have never heard of him before?"

"You don't know if you haven't watched the player videos posted by the second young master of the Chen family on Station C. The second young master mentions this person in every video. According to the second young master, his strength is terrifyingly strong. He may be one of the strongest players in our Xia country..."

"Ah? Is it that exaggerated? The strongest players in our country should all be in the Administration! Do the masters of the Administration have time to attend this kind of party? I don't believe it..."

"Haha, brother, you have to believe it. I have some connections in the Administration. It is said that the day before yesterday, the great master of our Dongjiang City Administration went on a business trip. It happened that a very powerful gray domain monster appeared in the suburbs. At that time, the Administration spent a lot of effort but still couldn't take down the monster. In the end, it was a civilian player with super strength who solved the problem. As for who this civilian player is, I believe you understand now without me saying more..."

"Fuck! Even our Dongjiang City Administration Bureau has to ask him for help? It seems like I really met a big shot among the players today!"

……

Although everyone in the living room deliberately lowered their voices when discussing, Wang Zhifan could hear it clearly with his extraordinary five senses. So he soon became very confused. He wondered when he became a celebrity and his name seemed to have appeared in the video?
So when Chen Ming ran up to him, he forced a somewhat ugly smile on his face, gritted his teeth and asked him in a low voice:

"What the hell have you done? Why do so many people seem to know me? Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile?"

Seeing Wang Zhifan's unhappy expression, Chen Ming looked indifferent at this time. He directly confessed:

"Brother Fan, don't worry, I'm very low-key. I only sometimes mention the experiences of playing dungeons with you, Brother Fan, in the player videos I post, but those kids on Station C like to say that I'm bragging and that you, Brother Fan, are a player image I made up. I naturally don't want to be slandered by them, so I often confront them online to let them know that you, Brother Fan, are the real deal..."

After Chen Ming's explanation, Wang Zhifan finally understood what was going on. It could be traced back to the first time he and Chen Ming were matched in a dungeon. At that time, Chen Ming posted a record video after completing the dungeon. Later, he happened to meet and get to know Wang Zhifan again in a transaction, and they played the dungeon together again. Chen Ming recorded part of it on the Internet, which attracted the attention of his video fans.

Later, as a result of some coincidences, the player master "Brother Fan" created by Chen Ming gained some popularity in the small circle, which led to Wang Zhifan becoming a little famous on the Internet without his knowledge.

At this banquet, many guests were fans of Chen Ming's videos and were invited by him to show his support. Therefore, as soon as they heard Chen Ming shout "Brother Fan", they understood everything and couldn't help but talk about it.

"Haha, kid, you really know how to mess things up..."

Wang Zhifan was completely speechless when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Chen Ming, a rich young man, had the habit of posting videos online.

The only good news is that Chen Ming is just a relatively unknown broadcaster, and currently his videos have a very narrow publicity effect on Wang Zhifan, so Wang Zhifan doesn’t have to worry too much about becoming a public figure.

Chen Ming's elder brother Chen Can, who was standing by, also felt helpless when he saw this scene. He warned his younger brother on the spot to be more restrained in the future and not to push Wang Zhifan into the fire pit again.

"A Ming, you know Brother Fan's personality. He's not the type to be high-profile. Don't do such stupid things in your videos in the future. It's best to delete all the previous related videos to avoid affecting Brother Fan's daily life..."

After hearing this, Wang Zhifan waved his hand and forcibly interrupted the topic.

"Come on, it doesn't matter whether it's deleted or not. Mingzi, just remember to be low-key in the future. Most of the players are not honest people. Being too ostentatious will easily lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble. Now let's get back to the banquet. There are so many guests waiting."

After this little episode which did not cause much trouble, the banquet hosted by Chen Ming and his brother continued. Wang Zhifan began to eat, drink and chat with them in the living room. From time to time, guests would come to greet him or even talk to him, and he would politely respond to them one by one.

It has to be said that the banquet sponsored by the Chen family was quite rich in content, and the food and drinks were delicious and high-end. Wang Zhifan was communicating with others while solving his own stomach problems. He tried everything from Guxia Banquet, Buddha Jumping Building, to 82 Lafite. He was relatively restrained during the process and tried his best not to expose his poor nature.

Of course, Wang Zhifan is definitely not poor in terms of wealth now. He was just born a commoner in both of his lives, and has essentially been marked by a class. However, he does not think there is anything wrong with this. Since he was born a commoner, there is no need to pretend to be a rich man. The most important thing is to maintain his original heart.

After a period of eating, drinking and having fun, the banquet entered the next stage, which was the player equipment trade fair that Chen Ming had mentioned on the phone.

But unlike what Wang Zhifan had speculated before, this trade fair was not as small as he thought. It was prepared by the Chen brothers for him to earn gold coins. In fact, this equipment trade fair was quite well prepared. The Chen brothers used their own financial resources to purchase a batch of excellent starting equipment through social channels, and planned to sell them to the guests present at a preferential price below cost. This was a core attraction to attract players to the fair.

On the other hand, if players have equipment they want to sell, for example, a gunner player has equipment for a mage profession, but the equipment is not very advanced and cannot be sold at a high price on the forum, they can negotiate the sale with others here, or simply sell it to the Chen family.

Wang Zhifan asked the Chen Ming brothers why they were organizing this kind of activity. The Chen family had money and there was no reason to waste it. Chen Can then said that they were planning to set up a player guild. Many of the people who came to the banquet were members of their guild who were on probation, so it was normal to give some benefits to the members.

"Brother Fan, if you are willing to join, we two brothers will definitely let you be the guild leader, so that our guild will not have to restrict low-level players from joining."

Seeing Wang Zhifan asked this, Chen Can half-jokingly suggested to him.
