All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

After waiting for a while, Wang Zhifan and the other two finally arrived with the guide's bulletproof off-road vehicle.

The guide still found it hard to believe that the three of them had solved a high-level gray zone so quickly, but he still took them to the next high-level gray zone location responsibly.

Needless to say, the journey took a long time and no unexpected situations occurred. However, when they finally approached the gray area, they encountered a very serious setback.

At this moment, the local guide drove a bulletproof off-road vehicle carrying three people through the rugged mountain road and came to a huge valley. The guide said:
"We're almost there. The map shows that the gray area is on the other side of the valley ahead."

But before he finished speaking, Wang Zhifan in the car suddenly reminded him loudly:

"Stop the car! There's a huge monster ahead! It's in the valley!"

"Giant monster? Are you sure? The data shows that there is no such monster nearby..."

The guide didn't quite believe it, but to be on the safe side, he still stepped on the brakes to stop the car, and several people got out of the car to check it out for themselves.

As the person who issued the warning, Wang Zhifan naturally walked in the front. He led Chen Ming and Chen Can to run a hundred meters away to the edge of the valley, then raised his hand and pointed into the valley. The two brothers beside him took a look and immediately gasped.

"Oh my god! What the hell is that? It's so fucking huge!"

Chen Ming couldn't help but exclaim, but he didn't dare shout too loudly for fear of attracting the attention of the beings in the valley.

"It seems to have wings? We'd better get out of here quickly! We're doomed if we're discovered by this thing!"

Chen Can was also a little nervous, and immediately retreated to reduce the risk of being discovered by the beings in the valley.

Wang Zhifan was undoubtedly the calmest. He looked at a huge black "bug" that was at least 100 meters long and 30 meters wide, which was staying in the valley and gnawing on something. He looked at the monster's sickle-like forelimbs, dozens of pairs of hairy legs, and the pair of folded long wings on its dark back, and judged that its strength was probably worth a fight.

The guide was the last one to arrive at the edge of the valley to observe, but he also took a look and quickly took a few steps back, his face becoming very ugly.

"This is a new gray domain monster! It is very likely the solidified high-level gray domain that you want to clear out! We are late!"

The guide made his own judgment on the spot, his voice trembling slightly. It was unclear whether he was finding it hard to accept the failure of the Gray Zone cleanup operation, or he was terrified to see with his own eyes a huge unknown monster appear on the land where he lived.

"I can confirm that there is no gray area within a thousand meters on the other side of this valley. Your inference is correct."

Wang Zhifan nodded after listening to this. His terrifyingly high mental power gave him a perception comparable to that of a radar. He could determine many situations without having to go and check in person. For example, the target gray area location mentioned in the information was currently in a desolate mountain and wilderness, and there was no gray fog.

This undoubtedly means that the gray area that once existed here has disappeared or solidified, but the existence of such a huge and terrifying unknown monster in the valley next to it shows that the reality is most likely the second situation.

"Brother Fan, a monster this big should be of a very high level, right? If someone kills it, will it really not drop any rewards?"

At this time, Chen Ming retreated to a position in the valley where the monsters could not see him. He asked Wang Zhifan with a somewhat nervous and curious expression.

"There is no reward for killing monsters related to the Solidified Gray Domain, no matter what type or level the monster is. Moreover, monsters in the Solidified Gray Domain can only be killed by the player. Using hot weapons to kill them will cause the monsters to revive infinitely at the same place. However, even if they are cleared out by the player, they will still refresh after about a week. They are a big trouble that cannot be shaken off."

Wang Zhifan answered immediately after hearing this. As he used to be a professional in cleaning gray areas, he was very familiar with this basic knowledge.

"I heard someone say on the forum that gray areas are a major problem in the world right now, so our country has concentrated a large number of manpower to deal with them in order to prevent this bad situation from accumulating."

As Chen Can spoke, he glanced in the direction of the valley, still feeling frightened by the huge monster he had just seen.

"Alas... our country has also organized similar actions, but after many incidents of players attacking the cleanup team, no one cared about it anymore... now everyone is just living one day at a time."

The local guide spoke of this topic with a sad expression.

There is no way. No one wants to live in a world full of gray monsters, but many things cannot be decided by one or two people. It will only be effective if enough people unite as one.

As they talked, they quickly returned to the bulletproof SUV, and the guide continued to drive them around to the next high-level gray area location.

During this period, no one suggested to clean up the huge monster that had just been seen in the valley. After all, only a fool would do something that is dangerous and useless.

Fortunately, the huge monster did not fly out of the valley to attack them during this period, which reflects the common regional activity characteristics of solidified gray domain monsters.

But Wang Zhifan knew that the activity characteristics of this area were not static. The Dongjiang Second Bureau alone had encountered many cases of solidified gray domain monsters running around, so the huge monster in the valley in the future would definitely be a terrible hidden danger.

The unexpected incident made everyone in the car feel a little heavy-hearted. Seeing such a horrible thing appear in the real world instead of in the gray area was too shocking, and made people worry about the future of mankind.

About an hour later, the local guide arrived near the third advanced gray area in a bulletproof SUV.

"My dear guests, I can only take you here. There are nearly ten dangerous solidified gray areas within a kilometer ahead. You need to find a way to get through them. The high-level gray area is surrounded by the solidified gray area and covers a large area. You will definitely not miss it."

After stopping the car, the guide said this to the three people in the car, telling them how to identify the target gray area and reminding them to pay attention to safety on the road ahead.

"If possible, I hope you can wait for us here for a while, not too long, half an hour at most will be enough, so that it will be convenient for us to clean up the gray area and then get out and take the car."

Wang Zhifan used his radar-like perception to confirm that the target gray area was still there, and then he made this special request to the guide.

After hearing this, the guide first observed the surrounding environment, and then replied carefully:

"I can wait for you for half an hour, but not here. We must retreat to the safer area over there first. And I can't guarantee that I will be there in half an hour. If I encounter a gray monster on the way, I will definitely evacuate."

Perhaps because he had seen the huge and terrifying monster an hour ago, the guide had become more cautious now. "No problem, everyone, safety is the most important thing."

After listening to this, Wang Zhifan nodded and led Chen Ming and Chen Can on a new journey.

In the following time, the three of them encountered many attacks from gray domain monsters along the way, just as the guide had said, and they had to fight while traveling.

But their speed of advancement was actually quite fast, because except for the beginning when Wang Zhifan asked Chen Ming and Chen Can to practice and warm up, he later mobilized the source power of ice to push forward directly, and arrived at the high-level gray domain without any surprises.

This shows that different strengths will bring different experiences.

In the eyes of the locals, this densely populated area of ​​solidified gray is quite dangerous and they would hardly take the risk to set foot in it.

But for Wang Zhifan, he had not encountered a decent monster along the way. Things that were very dangerous in the eyes of others were just some insignificant monsters in his eyes.

"This gray area is larger than a football field. It looks unusual... Let's start working now!"

After arriving at the destination, Wang Zhifan, Chen Ming and Chen Can took a short rest and then went straight inside, bursting with enthusiasm to fight monsters and get equipment.

But reality is often unexpected. Just seven minutes later, the three of them emerged from the shrinking and fading gray area, with a look of speechlessness and disappointment on Wang Zhifan's face.

"Damn, I just don't understand! The area inside and outside this gray area is not small, and the location is also unusual, so how come it is just an intermediate gray area in the end? The fishman boss at the end looked very intimidating, but he was killed in one blow! The rewards given are also very lame!"

You can't blame Wang Zhifan for being so excited. He entered this gray area with great expectations, and after entering, he found that it was a vast ocean, which increased his expectations. However, in the end, he didn't even get the excellent reward.

Specifically, the three of them rode on the old inventory Little Whale that Wang Zhifan took out, and after destroying many strong monsters with fish heads and human bodies that surrounded them from the sea, a giant ten-meter-tall fishman emerged from the bottom of the sea.

This fishman was big, fierce, and had the temperament of a high-level BOSS. Wang Zhifan asked the two brothers to retreat away and went forward alone to fight him.

But the battle ended just as it began. The giant fishman turned out to be just a useless showpiece. Wang Zhifan chopped it into a dead fish with its belly up and floating on the sea, triggering the reward list on the spot.

Then Wang Zhifan discovered that the highest level in the reward list of this BOSS was only rare, and there was not even the excellent level that he already looked down upon. This made him so angry that he wanted to laugh, and he cried out that he had been cheated, so he just randomly picked a few rare items and left it at that.

"Brother Fan, rare-level rewards aren't bad. Who can guarantee excellent-level rewards every time? I heard that some people even finished the Gray Domain and got nothing..."

Chen Ming found out that Wang Zhifan was not satisfied with the reward this time and tried to comfort him.

In his opinion, they were just unlucky this time. The fishman BOSS should have the potential to drop an excellent level monster, but the probability was low and Wang Zhifan didn't encounter it.

"Yes, Brother Fan, the previous explosion of the Excellent grade was actually a result of exceptional luck, but this time it was normal luck to get the Rare grade. The Murloc Staff and Murloc Wristguards inside have pretty good attributes, so I can replace some of my old equipment..."

Chen Can didn't quite understand why Wang Zhifan was so unhappy, and tried his best to comfort him.

Wang Zhifan couldn’t help but realize that he was different from other players after all, and there was a huge gap in his expectations for rewards. He quickly calmed himself down and seriously “played” the role of a normal player.

When they returned to the starting point and boarded the local guide's car, the guide was very surprised that they came back so soon, but he did not ask too many questions and abided by his duty of taking money to do the job and not interfering.

However, there was some disagreement about where to go next. The reason was that they only prepared these three targets that were suspected to be in the high-level gray area. As a result, these three places were dealt with in a very short time, and the solidified one could be regarded as a kind of cold treatment.

"Brother Fan, we've been out for a few hours today. How about we take a break, find a place to relax and eat some special food?"

Chen Ming was young and playful, so he immediately wanted to go on strike and play.

His elder brother Chen Can was more focused on his career. After a little thought, he proposed to Wang Zhifan:
"Brother Fan, how about this? You go and rest. My brother and I will find some local helpers and go into the gray area to explore. Once we find a high-level gray area, we will call on you, Brother Fan, to take action..."

Chen Can's proposal clearly showed that he understood Wang Zhifan's thoughts. He was too lazy to even take a look at anything other than the high-level gray domain.

Well, if the intelligence is not accurate enough, it would be appropriate for the two brothers to investigate personally.

They couldn't let Wang Zhifan do all the big and small jobs by himself. If they did that, the two brothers would be too complacent and rely on Wang Zhifan for everything.

"Go into the Gray Region to investigate personally? This kind of thing is quite dangerous, and generally speaking it is more suitable for assassin players to do it... I suggest you hire someone to help."

Wang Zhifan had made his attitude clear at this time. As a senior fighter, he naturally could not waste time doing chores. It was almost inevitable for him to leave temporarily.

There was no other way. There were a huge number of gray areas visible to the naked eye in this place. He could personally check and clean up all the gray areas he saw one by one. But why should he waste time doing such a thing?

Just for the rare or even excellent rewards produced by most of the Gray Region? This is completely impossible for him who doesn't even care about the excellent level.

If he had enough time, he would rather practice or explore various other worlds. The knowledge of laws he had accidentally acquired in the Purgatory World was enough to prove that the value of other worlds was far higher than that of most gray areas.

Thus, Wang Zhifan’s first phase of the foreign gray area plan came to a temporary end.

He talked with the two brothers Chen Ming and Chen Can on the way. When he returned to the town and found that there was no one else around, he reminded them to pay attention to their personal safety and told them clearly that someone was targeting them. Then he said goodbye to them and temporarily left the country. He returned to Dongjiang City in Xia Country by madly activating the teleportation ability of the Infinite Shoes and increased the bonus of the Infinite Power.

The first thing he learned after he came back was that his two maids, Yilin and Yali, told him that a man who called himself Li Zhenguo had come to the villa not long ago and said he had something to discuss with him.

"Captain Li is looking for me? Could it be that the Administration has run into some trouble again and needs my help to solve it?"

Wang Zhifan immediately thought that he would be busy again, but when he called Captain Li to ask in person, he found that it was not the case. (End of this chapter)
