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

"So you're the ultimate comedian, huh?" Fan Xiao said nonchalantly. "Those who used to find amusement in me are now either the amusement themselves or about to become the amusement, including Xiao Na."

He waved his hand: "Even Xiao Na is no match for her, how could this little Meng possibly turn the tide?"

Youbai: "..."

She didn't dare ask who "Xiao Na" referred to.

This is a question that absolutely cannot be pondered too deeply.

Damn it! How did she already guess who it was...? Youbai immediately gave herself a self-suggestion, making herself forget the relevant thoughts and ideas.

Then, she took out a communication jade slip that looked anything but ordinary and began to fiddle with it.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

“Boss, I’m contacting the Yu family to inquire about Miss’s recent situation.” Youbai replied, “If Miss is at home, we will go to the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty. If Miss went to the Heavenly Sword Sect… we will have to take another teleportation array.”

Chapter 824 Jade Snow Reflection: Just a rebellious, bratty younger brother.

After hearing Youbai's words, Fan Xiao asked curiously, "Why don't you just ask Xiaoyu about this?"

"Boss, the transmission distance of the communication jade slip is limited."

Youbai explained, "Although most of the nodes and partitions of node C are connected, information transmission is actually not that convenient..."

She briefly explained the structure of node C.

Whether it is the mortal realm or the spiritual realm, the divided worlds are all connected.

However, the chaotic spacetime between partitions and nodes was transformed by the rules of immortality into a perilous place full of strangeness and danger.

Some dangerous places are even forbidden zones for life, which cannot be crossed by anyone but those with extremely high cultivation levels. Messages transmitted through the laws of immortality can also be blocked by the special environment of such dangerous places.

Normal cultivators can only pass through such dangerous places via teleportation arrays—as long as it doesn't involve crossing between the mortal realm and the spirit realm, teleportation arrays are open to everyone.

Of course, non-players who want to ride the teleportation array will need to pay an expensive fee to activate it.

The high cost here is not just high cost in the ordinary sense. Therefore, in some less deadly "dangerous places", there are powerful cultivators who run "flying boat businesses". Crossing dangerous places by flying boat is much cheaper than using teleportation arrays.

In the early days, some merchant guilds even deliberately sabotaged the teleportation array in an attempt to expand their flying boat business, but the result was... naturally, they were suppressed by the righteous sects.

Youbai said, "Within our Yu family's territory, there is a large spirit-gathering array. In addition to gathering the surrounding spiritual energy, this array also has the function of amplifying the transmission of immortal laws."

"This jade slip I have can communicate directly with the family across long distances. However, jade slips cannot communicate directly with each other over long distances; they can only passively receive messages from the family."

"This jade slip is essentially for making emergency calls for help..."

“A sense of déjà vu,” Fan Xiao suddenly said.

"What do you mean by déjà vu, boss?" Youbai asked, puzzled.

“Your C node is very similar to the fantasy world I’ve learned about in novels!” Fan Xiao said. “Things like interdimensional teleportation arrays, communication jade slips, dangerous places between worlds, and so on, basically every place can be found in the novel stories.”

After a pause, he guessed, "It seems that the Xianxia world of Node C did not develop naturally, but was created based on the prototype of 'Xianxia stories'."

Materializing history, legends, myths, stories, and so on is one of the powers of "gods".

So... C-node is most likely one of the "gods'" backup plans against the game company, just like the Mysterious Sea.

The reasons for their xenophobia are probably not as simple as the historical account mentioned by Youbai.

It's very likely that it was deliberately misleading them.

"Node C is Mother's backup plan, then... wouldn't that Immortal Emperor be considered my retainer?"

"A mere retainer, yet he doesn't even come to pay his respects when the divine child is present. What an ill-mannered fellow..." Fan Xiao thought arrogantly.

"Why don't you just use the Badge of Justice to contact me?" Fan Xiao asked Youbai. "Before, we were too far apart, so your low-level badge couldn't be used. It should be fine now, right?"

“I tried, but I couldn’t get in touch.” Youbai shook her head: “Miss’s badge should be in the storage space. You probably didn’t notice it.”

"It's also possible that there's something wrong with the badge."

Fan Xiao said.

As he spoke, he asked Xiao Zhen in his mind.

Xiao Zhen immediately provided the answer—Yu Xue Zhao's badge had been destroyed, and she was currently at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

In fact, Xiao Zhen had already collected this information long ago—she listed Fan Xiao and his female confidantes as targets from whom she could passively obtain relevant information. All the big and small things these people experienced would be updated to her in real time.

The reason she didn't speak up on her own initiative, but instead waited for Fan Xiao to ask, was because she had seen through one thing—her master, Fan Xiao, wanted the world he saw to always remain fresh and new.

This is probably why Fan Xiao entrusted her with the intelligence function, rather than awakening information-related psionic abilities for himself.

Our main focus is on providing a great user experience!

If you know everything in advance and do things step by step... at first you might feel the comfort of having a god's-eye view, but after repeating it a few times, all that's left is boredom.

Of course, she would only adopt this negative attitude under normal circumstances.

If an abnormal situation were to occur, such as Yu Xue Zhao being in a predicament, she would definitely report it without hesitation.

A prop that takes such meticulous care of its owner is truly rare in the world!

The Kunlun Mirror is nothing compared to this girl with no background, no skills, and no personality!

Sooner or later...

“No need to contact her anymore, let’s go straight to the Heavenly Sword Sect.” Fan Xiao said to Youbai, “Xiaoyu’s badge was destroyed, so you can’t contact her.”

"Destroyed?" Young White asked in surprise.

"Yes, things...are getting interesting."

As Fan Xiao said this, his eyes became intrigued: "Perhaps we can take this opportunity to... punish the wicked and promote the good."

Youbai: "..."

She was quite worried at first.

Now... she is also worried, but she is worried that Fan Xiao will make things worse.

If Fan Xiao replicates the D05 node operation again, the overwhelming popularity... I wonder if the Yu family can handle it.

"Let's go, let's not take the teleportation array. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can see the show and help Xiaoyu solve her problem."

Fan Xiao said to Youbai.

"..." Youbai assumed he was hallucinating.

The boss really doesn't even bother to pretend anymore.

Otherwise, how could he have let it slip?

On the other hand, Fan Xiao wasn't worried about Yu Xuezhao's safety—Xiao Zhen would remind him if anything happened.

However, considering that he might miss out on a lot of fun if he arrived late, he decided to use psionic energy to travel.

Before activating his psionic powers, he asked the little girl in his mind, "Little Zhen, how's the investigation going?"

The truth he's asking about is the truth behind C-node's independence movement, and what connection Tina's mention of "sub-gods" has with this incident.

Xiao Zhen replied, "Master, we can only investigate this matter so far. It is related to the 'God Replacement Plan' that Xiao Zhuang mentioned to you before. A group of people created a 'sub-god' at node C."

"The top deities from the game company and the A-node kingdom organization have all entered the arena in their true forms. They attach great importance to this matter. As soon as they arrived at the C-node, they went to the Immortal Realm and clashed with the Immortal Emperor. Now the Immortal Realm instance has been opened, and the connection between the Immortal Realm, the Spirit Realm, and the Mortal Realm has been severed."

"As for the whereabouts of the 'secondary god' and who was involved in this plan, this information has been heavily blocked. To break through the blockade and dig it out... that will take a long time, Master. Please give Xiao Zhen some time. Xiao Zhen will definitely dig out all the information!"

"It's alright, there's no rush." ​​Fan Xiao asked, "What's the situation regarding the independence of node C?"

"Independence was a decision made jointly by the nine major sects of the Spirit Realm and some high-level players, with some immortals from the Immortal Realm also involved."

Xiao Zhen replied, "Although their reasons for advocating independence are very logical, this matter is too abrupt. It's like a small conflict suddenly turning into a super conflict, without any development process in between."

"Therefore, Xiao Zhen speculates that there must be a 'mastermind' behind this."

"This 'driving force' either comes from the Celestial Emperor, or from the 'sub-gods,' or from the group that created the 'sub-gods.'"

"Master, there's no need to worry about these things. Give Xiao Zhen some more time, and the truth will come out!"

Her current actions are quite in line with the name "Truth Overcomes All".

When she has something to rely on, she believes "truth transcends everything." What Immortal Emperor or top-tier Godhood? They're all bullshit. Don't try to stop her burning heart from seeking the truth.

When you have nothing to rely on... the truth? What is that thing? Can you eat it?

It's fair to say they're acting like dogs relying on their master's power.

Fan Xiao ended his conversation with Xiao Zhen.

The next second, his thoughts were reflected in the "Chronicle of Heaven and Earth," appearing in written form—Fan Xiao and You Bai would be transferred to the vicinity of Yu Xue Zhao in the next instant.

If the partitions are separated by time and space, this transfer may not be able to be completed in one go.

And now...

The next instant, Fan Xiao felt his mental strength drop.

In the blink of an eye, the environment in which he and Youbai were located changed.

When Youbai opened her eyes, she found herself in a familiar courtyard.

The surrounding buildings are cleverly integrated with the natural landscape such as trees, rocks, and pools. The lines that the eye can capture are smooth and mixed with a refined atmosphere. The buildings are in harmony with the mountains and waters, and in coordination with the environment, complementing each other. It is as if they have become one with the scenery itself, interpreting nature.

This is a tranquil retreat nestled amidst mountains and waters, where the architectural style is a unique blend of classical and natural elements, creating a breathtaking aesthetic.

Fan Xiao's "Eye of Truth" peered through and discovered that this mountain and water pavilion was built on a high peak. The water flowing in the pool was spiritual spring water, which was constantly emitting spiritual energy, keeping the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire pavilion within a certain range.

Inside the small building, he felt... as if he could become stronger with just one breath.

This training environment is absolutely top-notch!

Beyond this mountain peak, there are other peaks, floating islands, and floating palace complexes. At the center stands a majestic main peak. The combined area of ​​these peaks is vast beyond imagination... It truly feels like a fantasy world.

Fan Xiao looked away.

At this moment, Youbai had already moved closer to her young mistress.

Yu Xuezhao, dressed in a white fairy dress, was sitting cross-legged in front of an exquisite low table. Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes covered her face. Even with her eyes closed, she looked exceptionally beautiful.

She immediately noticed the fluctuation in the air in the room and opened her eyes to look.

When she saw Youbai approaching and Fan Xiao standing not far away, a look of surprise and astonishment appeared in her eyes.

The "Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent" granted her the vision to see through concepts. She could see that Fan Xiao and You Bai were not disguises of others, and that what was happening now was not an illusion... unless there was an old monster specifically targeting her.

Fan Xiaochao smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, it's been a long time."

Yu Xuezhao: "..."

It seems this isn't some old monster's illusion.

She had heard about Fan Xiao's character from her teacher long ago.

Sure enough, as her strength grew, she gradually revealed her unbridled arrogance... She was mentally prepared for this.

Just consider it as my younger brother going through a rebellious phase, liking to talk back and like to show off.

"How did you manage to bypass the sect's protective formation and get in?"

Yu Xue Zhao didn't engage in any long-winded reminiscing or pleasantries; she went straight to the question.

Upon hearing this, Youbai looked at Fan Xiao.

The boss's methods are becoming increasingly bizarre, and she naturally can't understand them. The boss needs to explain this himself.

“A-level spiritual energy is roughly the same level as your ‘Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent’.”

Fan Xiao walked to the other side of the low table, sat down cross-legged, and looked at Yu Xuezhao, asking, "Haven't you heard about the news from Node D? If you knew, you wouldn't be wondering about such trivial details."

"During this period, I was under house arrest and had little access to outside information."

Yu Xuezhao's voice sounded cold and aloof, yet it was mixed with a tenderness unique to her junior brother: "I guessed that the early end of the S-rank item competition was related to you, junior brother."

"Xiaoyu, shouldn't you call me senior brother now?" Fan Xiao reminded her.

Youbai: "..."

Oh no! Will a fight break out?

If a fight really breaks out, the young lady will definitely suffer!

Youbai started to feel a little anxious.

However, Yu Xuezhao did not show any anger as she had expected. Instead, she looked at Fan Xiao as if he were a rebellious younger brother and said, "Junior brother, seniority is not determined by strength."
