Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

"The good news is that I've found... or rather, deduced the location of the time station."

Fan Xiao replied, "Why don't you try to guess too? I've already given you all the information."

"Riddles? I'm not very good at that."

The college student looked troubled: "However, according to the traditional game formula, the clues to clearing a dungeon are usually hidden in the most dangerous places."

"Since the monsters were originally human, the most dangerous place should be the area with the most people in Vibe City, right?"

"For example, schools, large shopping malls, famous tourist attractions, densely populated residential areas, etc."

“Monsters like to hide in dark places,” the executive said. “Maybe in the underground parking lot of a large shopping mall?”

The hooded youth said, "It could also be in the sewers."

"Could it be at the zoo?" Lu Baizhi casually thought of a place.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao glanced at her in surprise.

The answer was very close... He was a little unsure whether his sister had guessed or just made a wild guess.

At this point, Lu Xining gave the answer: "Two places, either a zoo or an aquarium."

Seeing how certain she was, everyone's eyes were on her.

Lu Xining didn't hide anything and explained, "The most dangerous place isn't where there are the most monsters, but rather where the dungeon boss is located."

"The game gives a message that 'the dungeon boss refuses to let any visitors leave,' which can be interpreted as the boss blocking our exit."

"So wherever it blocks the way, that's where the exit door is."

"Then why a zoo? Or an aquarium?" the college student asked.

"I understand what Miss Doll means. The answer is actually surprisingly simple. Our reasoning was wrong."

The executive suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, we shouldn't be concerned about where the most monsters are, but rather how humans turned into monsters."

"That's right, they are evolved beings! These monsters may have originally been evolved beings, but because they ate too many other animals, they mutated excessively in the direction of animals. Since there was no one to eat, they completely lost their minds and became what they are now."

"In a city, the places with the most animals are either zoos or aquariums. These two places are most likely to give birth to powerful dungeon bosses."

"It's more likely to be an aquarium."

Fan Xiao spoke up, drawing everyone's attention.

Chapter 13 discusses the psychological impact Van Shaw had on his teammates.

Facing everyone's gaze, Fan Xiao explained, "There's no food in this city, so the monsters probably have to hunt each other to survive. The four we encountered were able to coexist peacefully, probably because they had just eaten together not long ago."

"Based on this conjecture, Vibe City has been abandoned for so many years, so the dungeon boss should have already devoured all the other monsters."

"This situation may not have occurred because it has restrictions that prevent it from leaving a certain area."

"Restrictions... I see."

Lu Xining pondered for a moment and then replied, "If a dungeon boss is born in an aquarium, it's very likely that it ate too many aquatic creatures, causing its genes to mutate severely and become unable to live without water, which is why other monsters were able to survive. Is that right?"

"Hmm. Unless Vibe City has regular food supplies, like decades ago when prospective players started entering to try their luck and became food, my guess is correct."

Fan Xiao nodded.

"How did the dungeon boss survive?" the college student asked, puzzled. "It can't leave the aquarium, so it can't hunt, right?"

"The monsters in the city are sensitive to sound and have no rationality. If the dungeon boss makes some noise, the monsters that are nearby may be attracted. As long as it can succeed once every now and then, although it will not be able to eat to its heart's content, it will not starve to death."

Fan Xiao smiled and suggested, "We can go to the aquarium first, and if we can't find the station, we can go to the zoo."

"Looks like we're in for a tough fight," the executive sighed. "The dungeon boss... hopefully it won't be ridiculously strong."

"That's ridiculously strong..." The hooded youth glanced at Fan Xiao subconsciously.

The scene of the battle not long ago flashed through his mind, causing his heart to tremble violently.

Fan Xiao casually killed four monsters and a cannibalistic player, creating a bloody scene that he felt he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Too scary!

Perhaps he inherited some of the cat's genes, because he immediately bristled.

Is the evolution game a bit unbalanced?

Is it reasonable for such a powerful talent to appear in a prospective player?

More importantly, this prospective player seems to be mentally unstable, possibly exhibiting antisocial personality disorder and a liking for dismembering people...

"Gulu..."

The hooded youth swallowed hard.

He prayed silently to the gods, hoping that Fan Xiao would maintain his facade of normalcy and spare his life.

At that moment, Fan Xiao suddenly turned his head and met his gaze.

And she smiled at him.

"..." The hooded youth's body tensed instantly.

Fan Xiao asked, "Are you nervous? Are you worried about fighting the dungeon boss?"

"...Yes, yes."

"I'm worried you might suddenly turn on me and kill someone..." the hooded youth thought to himself.

There's really no need to worry about this.

Fan Xiao reminded him, "Based on my deduction, we shouldn't need to directly confront the dungeon boss."

"A monster that has been starving for a long time, if it encounters food that can be eaten directly and food that requires some effort to capture."

Which one do you think it will choose?

Lu Xining seemed thoughtful: "Is this your reason for having us bring the body back?"

"Hmm. Let's try it with corpses first. If that doesn't work, then we'll fight."

Fan Xiao glanced at the time on the game panel.

It's 1:00 PM.

He said, "Let's explore the aquarium again tomorrow."

"It's 1:00 PM now, there's still plenty of time." The executive asked, "Why wait until tomorrow?"

"I'm tired and want to rest," Fan Xiao replied. "I won't stop you if you want to go, but I'll only go tomorrow anyway."

He wouldn't dare to touch the dungeon boss before the "Angel of Slaughter" cooldown was over.

After all, everything about the dungeon boss was based on his guesses.

What if something happens if I don't get insurance?

Moreover, he was genuinely tired and mentally exhausted.

Hearing Fan Xiao's words, those who wanted to explore the aquarium immediately had to suppress their desires.

It's not worth getting into a conflict with Fan Xiao over such a trivial matter.

Lu Xining stared at Fan Xiao's face for a while, as if she had thought of something.

She then said to the crowd, "My sister and I are going out to see if we can find food, drinking water, and other weapons."

"Huh? We have to go out again?" Lu Baizhi's cute little face turned bitter: "Sister, I'm so tired."

"Who told you to insist on carrying the corpses just now?" Lu Xining instructed, "When you get back, you need to train hard! Develop all your evolved human physical abilities, don't stay at home and rust."

"You and I are different..."

Lu Baizhi glanced at Lu Xining's chest discreetly, her voice very soft: "Sister, your legs are longer than mine, and you're lighter, so it's very convenient for you to move around. I... well, I'm more tired than you."

"..."

For some reason, an inexplicable anger rose in Lu Xining's heart.

She immediately and firmly grabbed her sister's hand and said, "Let's walk slower, you can rest as you go, be good!"

"Hmm... okay." The younger sister became obedient.

Lu Xining mainly wanted to see if she could find any doll toys.

As a "puppet master," her talent allows her to manipulate puppets.

Although the puppet can only exert 80% of her power, she can fly freely in the air within a 10-meter range without any restrictions on the angle of attack, and just like wielding a stick, the puppet's movement speed is much faster than her own.

The difference in combat power is obvious between those with puppets and those without.

With her younger sister by her side, she'd have a better chance of finding the item.

My sister is very lucky.

"I'll go with you."

A college student stepped forward and suggested, "It's not safe for the two of you girls to go out alone."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xining turned her head and looked coldly at the college student.

His eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone.

The college student felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Don't misunderstand, I'm genuinely worried about you guys, unlike that man-eating player."

"No need, just mind your own business."

Lu Xining gave a brief reply and then led her younger sister toward the door.

As Lu Baizhi was being led away, she turned back to the college student apologetically and said, "Um... I'm sorry, we just encountered danger, and my sister is in a bad mood. Please don't mind."

"It's alright, just take care of yourselves."

The college student awkwardly scratched his head.

He sighed only after the two sisters had completely left.

The male executive walked over, patted the college student on the shoulder, and asked, "Interested?"

"Uh," the college student said a little embarrassedly, "I'm just... just worried about their safety. Seriously, are all girls these days so opinionated?"

"Don't hide it. Young people are like that. It's normal to have feelings for a pretty girl who's been through thick and thin with you."

The executive chuckled, "It just so happens that you're all around the same age, which I understand, but..."

"But what?" the college student asked.

"That girl is unusually wary and quite aggressive. Let's calm down and avoid causing any conflicts within the team at the last minute. We can discuss our thoughts after we leave the dungeon."

Although the possibility was slim, the executive still gave the other party that reminder.

"I suggest you don't go out and do anything reckless even after you leave the dungeon," the hooded youth suddenly said.

The college student was taken aback: "Are you courting death? What do you mean?"

"That doll-like girl, although she looks like she probably didn't even graduate high school, but..."

The hooded youth recalled his previous battle with the muscular woman.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl picks up a knife and ruthlessly stabs someone in the heart, without even flinching when her own hand is broken and she's covered in injuries... It would be a miracle if that were normal!

“In short,” the hooded youth warned, “you’d better stay away from those sisters.”

After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Fan Xiao, who was resting against the wall, out of the corner of his eye.

The most dangerous Dismemberment Demon is here!

But he dared not say anything, dared not ask anything.

Chapter 14 The Door Connecting the Time-Space Station

Shortly after Lu Xining and her sister left the safe house, the three male executives also teamed up to explore.

The main task was to collect food and weapons.

None of the three of them rashly went to the aquarium to check on the situation.

After all, that place is very likely to be inhabited by a dungeon boss, and if something unexpected happens, the combat power of only three people will probably be difficult to deal with.

Around 5:40 PM.
