America.
The president looked at the messages sent back by the spy and couldn't help but find them amusing.
According to the latest intelligence, Fang Xian has been staying at home except for one long trip.
The number of beautiful women around him is increasing, and he now has a total of nine stunning beauties.
"This kid is really talented, isn't he afraid of his body not being able to handle it?"
Michael Arthur, with a long pipe dangling from his lips, exhaled a long puff of white smoke.
"Hehe, the Dragon Kingdom government also indulges him, letting him become decadent and not making any progress at all."
"However, since the Kusanagi family and the World Guild took action, the Dragon Kingdom has strengthened its defenses, making it extremely difficult to send people in to assassinate them."
The president put down the documents and crossed his arms.
"Yes, assassinating Fang Xian within the Dragon Kingdom is now as difficult as climbing to the sky, and since he doesn't go to the dungeon, there's even less of a chance."
"What I'm worried about now is whether he will participate in the 'Genius Tournament'."
Michael Arthur had a plan to deal with the president's doubts, and he spoke confidently.
"Mr. President, rest assured, we deliberately publicized the rules of the first round of the competition to be based on talent."
"The country that sends the most talented contestant will advance directly to the next round."
"If the Dragon Kingdom really values the 'Dragon Egg,' they have no reason not to send Fang Xian to participate in this free victory."
"Even if we only participate in the first round, we have a chance to kill him."
The president nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"Very good, as expected of Admiral Arthur, truly resourceful."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. President."
"How's the assassination plan against Fang Xian coming along?"
"Mr. President, we have contacted the Kusanagi family, the World Guild, the Mafia Alliance, and the participating countries. They will do their utmost to cooperate with us in killing Fang Xian."
Michael Arthur exhaled white breath, his eyes sharp.
"If the Dragon Kingdom dares to let Fang Xianlai go, he will face a global encirclement and slaughter, and will surely die!"
The president sneered, his face full of cunning.
"Hehehe! I can't wait for the 'Genius Tournament' to begin."
"Fang Xian, you absolutely have to come!"
...
Dragon Kingdom, Cloud View Villa.
"Fang Xian, General Mu, hello."
You Longming stood at the door with a big smile on his face, greeting people inside.
"Mayor You, please come in."
Mu Wanyao smiled sweetly and made room for You Longming to come in.
Fang Xian gestured to Xue Nai to prepare more bowls and chopsticks, and beckoned to You Longming.
"Mayor You, it's so early, come and have breakfast together."
"Oh dear! I feel so bad that I always come here to freeload."
You Longming said he was sorry, but his bottom was already sitting in the chair, and he picked up his bowl and chopsticks to drink the porridge.
"General Mu's cooking skills are getting better and better; it's really fragrant and delicious."
Fang Xian shook his head and smiled wryly. You Longming was not acting like a mayor at all.
"Hehe, Mayor You, you didn't come all this way just for breakfast, did you?"
"Yes, I did come here on business."
You Longming wiped his mouth and took out an invitation from his storage ring.
"Fang Xian, you know about the 'Genius Tournament,' right?"
"Yes, I know."
"The higher-ups want to invite you to participate. If you do, they will send 10 level 98 Awakened Ones to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xian was surprised that the country was making such a big fuss.
Seeing that Fang Xian did not speak, You Longming continued:
"There will also be two level 99 Awakened Ones accompanying you to ensure your safety."
"It seems the country has really invested heavily."
"Fang Xian, everyone knows that the 'Genius Tournament' is a trap. The higher-ups said that if you don't want to participate, you don't have to force yourself. The country will respect your opinion."
Fang Xian agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"I will participate in the 'Genius Tournament'."
The "Genius Competition" is a form of competition to showcase a nation's comprehensive strength and is one of the most watched events in the world.
As long as Fang Xian performs well, his popularity will be self-evident.
Just like the Olympics, as long as athletes from dragon kingdom perform exceptionally well and break records, the entire nation will recognize them.
Fang Xian will not let this opportunity slip by; he must seize this chance to become a national idol.
You Longming was surprised that Fang Xian agreed so readily, so he had to give him a serious reminder.
"Fang Xian, this trip is fraught with danger, you must be careful."
"Mayor You, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I want to make a high-profile move this time."
You Longming was somewhat surprised. Fang Xian had always been low-key and cautious, and he didn't understand why he would suddenly act so out of character.
"Fang Xian, what are your thoughts?"
Fang Xian put down his chopsticks and chuckled.
"I'd like Mayor You to help me apply to higher authorities to widely publicize my SP talent, so that the whole world knows that I have SP talent and that I will participate in the 'Genius Championship'."
"ah?"
You Longming was completely dumbfounded. Fang Xian had been keeping a low profile for so long, so why was he being so high-profile now? What was going on?
He wasn't stupid, and he knew Fang Xian wasn't stupid either.
As You Longming thought about Fang Xian's combat strength, a shocking guess suddenly arose in his mind.
"Fang Xian, what level are you at now?"
"Me?"
Fang Xian kept everyone in suspense and shared his level with You Longming.
You Longming unconsciously swallowed and nervously looked at Fang Xian's sharing.
[Level: LV99 (Overlord)]
"Level 99?"
"Level 99!!!"
"Clang!"
You Longming suddenly stood up, knocking over the bowls and chopsticks.
His eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, his mouth gaped open, and his face was filled with utter disbelief.
"Fang Xian... are you really human?"
"Could it be a monster in human skin?"
Fang Xian was embarrassed. What was all this about? If you can't express shock, don't force yourself to praise.
He pulled You Longming down to sit, somewhat speechless.
"Mayor You, please convey my rank information to your superiors and have it classified as confidential."
You Longming nodded woodenly. A 20-year-old level 99 Awakener definitely had to be classified as confidential.
Twenty years old is the age when one is just awakening. You're saying he's already at the maximum level right after awakening?
Isn't this supposed to be a science fiction movie?
Even if people found out, no one would believe it.
"Mayor You, with my skill level, I should have no problem winning a championship, right?"
You Longming: ...
"Now I'm wondering whether the US is setting a trap for you, or you're the one who's caught them like a turtle in a jar..."
Fang Xian smiled meaningfully and spoke softly.
"Hehe, Mayor You, then I'll trouble you to convey this to the higher-ups and spread the word about my talent so that my fame can be known throughout the world."
"I want the whole world to know that in the Dragon Kingdom there is a genius that everyone looks up to, and that is me."
"—Fang Xian."
