Chapter 173: Chasing Stars at Public Expense

After seeing Gu Xiuqi off, Zheng Xun closed the door and turned around.

Yiyuan stood behind him, startling him.

It's completely silent when walking.

"Have the guests left?" Yiyuan asked slowly.

"Yes, I just left. By the way, Teacher Xiao Gu also brought a gift, and I left it in the living room."

"Well, I've put them away."

Yiyuan probably deliberately avoided Gu Xiuqi's presence, and appeared immediately after they left.

It was already past one in the afternoon. Yiyuan asked Zheng Xun to have a good rest while he went to prepare lunch.

Zheng Xun originally planned to go back to room 104 and continue to sleep, but then his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Zheng Xun? I am a staff member of the General Association and I am here to send you an invitation letter."

"Okay, please come right in."

"..."

There seemed to be silence for a while, and then Zheng Xun heard him ask.

"Mr. Zheng, could you please come here to pick it up? I'll give you a location."

"..." Zheng Xun suddenly thought of where he lived and rubbed his hair, "Okay, just wait for me for two minutes, I will come right away."

He casually wrapped himself in a down jacket, took the keys, and walked down the mountain.

The security personnel of the Jiuding Guild have evacuated, but the barbed wire fences were left for Zheng Xun.

Zheng Xun looked from a distance and saw some people on the other side of the net, probably reporters. Perhaps due to psychological barriers, I just took some photos from a distance instead of getting closer.

Even so, Gu Xiuqi had already warned him that there would eventually be extreme fans and he had to be careful in everything.

Zheng Xun was more willing to listen to advice on these matters. He decided to discuss with Yiyuan later to strengthen the protection around the mansion.

As for the staff member who called, he was already quite brave. When Zheng Xun saw the person, he was standing in the middle of the slope, walking around anxiously.

Zheng Xun waved to him from a distance, and it was obvious that the other person's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng!"

"Hello."

The staff member hurriedly took two steps to catch up, holding a pure black box in his hand.

"This is what the General Association is going to give you. There is an invitation letter inside. Please keep it safe."

Zheng Xun took the box in his hand and shook it. It was very heavy.

"Okay, I'm done."

"Mr. Zheng, you're welcome. This is my job."

After saying that, the staff suddenly said again——

"Can you sign your autograph for me? I'm your fan!"

"Ah? Ah..."

"This is my personal request. If you feel it is inappropriate, you don't have to..."

"It doesn't matter," Zheng Xun nodded, "I can sign it."

He took the black pen from the other party's hand and signed on the clothes.

No wonder he took the initiative to come to Linxun Mansion even though he was so scared. It turned out that he was chasing stars at public expense.

Mr. Fan is very excited.

"We fans are very much looking forward to your being able to represent the Federation at the All-Star Games this time!"

Zheng Xun scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I will take it seriously and strive to get a ranking."

"No, no," the young man shook his head, "your appearance is of great significance to us. I have always felt that Mr. Zheng should stand on a bigger stage."

Zheng Xun met his fans face to face for the first time. In the past, when those who liked him were fighting online for his reputation, he had little real sense.

This time he had the opportunity to meet face-to-face offline, and he truly felt the fans' joy, satisfaction and expectations.

He looked at the staff member in front of him. He was a bit frail, wearing rimless glasses, and was probably one to two years older than him.

Perhaps he had imagined that he could show off his talents in dungeons like these professional players, but due to various reasons, he could only do clerical work. Even so, he still chose to use other methods to get closer to the dream place in his heart.

Zheng Xun was moved as he thought about it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely respond to everyone's expectations."

"Huh? Ah, Zheng Shen, you don't need to be like this," Mr. Fan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Actually, I just think you are very handsome when you are killing monsters. I just like to sit in the air-conditioned room to work and watch your live broadcast. "

"..."

Zheng Xun took two steps back and walked slowly towards the mountain.

What a waste of emotion.

"Goodbye Mr. Fan, bye bye, hurry up and go."

"Ah? Ah, then Zheng Shen, you must keep the invitation well!"

"I will, I will. Let's go quickly. We won't be able to get a taxi for a while."

Zheng Xun sent the people away and returned to the mansion.

Yiyuan has already prepared lunch.

Zheng Xun returned to the living room and opened the black box. Inside was a dark blue invitation with a few lines of words handwritten with a gold pen.

Dear Mr. Zheng Xun:

Thank you for your continued support of the work of the Association. In order to better interact and communicate between players and guilds, the Federation will hold an All-Star Game. This is a game full of energy, passion and challenge, and we expect star players to shine on this stage. We sincerely invite you to participate in this competition and look forward to your visit.

White Tower Players Association Headquarters

The location and time are listed in the lower right corner of the invitation. In addition to this card, Zheng Xun also found a small one underneath.

——This All-Star Game has customized a set of competition clothes for the invited players. Please wear them completely and come to participate in the game. Thank you again for your participation.

Zheng Xun took the card off and put it on the table.

Now there is only one suit left in the box.

This suit is a light brown vertical stripe style, with a vest of the same color and a light twill shirt, as well as a silk tie, which looks retro and noble.

Yiyuan appeared beside him at some point, with his finger on Schrödinger's chin, looking at the outfit.

"Good aesthetics."

He probably nodded to show his approval.

Zheng Xun thought it was very troublesome.

"The competition should also involve dungeons, right? It's so formal. What if you accidentally move too much and tear your clothes? This outfit looks very restrictive."

Yiyuan took the clothes from him and prepared to hang it up first.

"Of course this kind of competition is different from the usual dungeons. They are used to make money. Of course, the most popular and hottest forms are chosen."

"Yiyuan, you are obviously the boss of the White Tower, and you know a lot."

"Thank you for the compliment. The days without players are boring, and I can only read some books to kill time."

"Where did the books on your bookshelf come from?" Zheng Xun asked casually, "Do you have a publishing house or something like that inside the White Tower?"

"They just appeared when I needed them, that's all."

Yiyuan replied gently, not taking the bait at all.

"..."

Zheng Xun was a little depressed, and then he thought that there was a long time to come, and he would get Yiyuan's words sooner or later.

After putting away the gifts sent by the General Association, Zheng Xun followed Yiyuan upstairs to eat.

The next days were relatively relaxed and boring. He was a guild by himself, and no one urged him to go to the dungeon. As long as he wanted, he could give himself a holiday at any time.

During this period, Yiyuan didn't know what means he used to improve the security equipment around the mansion. Zheng Xun went out for a walk one day and saw a tall wall that had been built on the hillside. The main gate was two heavy alloy doors that opened opposite each other, with a complex password lock on them.

He looked at the wall that almost reached the sky, and his mouth twitched twice.

Well, now it looks more like a survival base for high-risk species.

However, this can isolate all kinds of inquiring eyes from the outside world, and Zheng Xun can toss around in it with peace of mind.

Even if he turned the whole mountain upside down, no one would find him.

Zheng Xun let himself go for a few days, and soon, the day when the All-Star Game officially started came.

Before that, the Internet had been warming up for the event for a long time.
