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

But they themselves have already reached that age.

Their relatives... have probably long since turned to dust.

The little girls' wish, fundamentally, was not to resurrect their parents.

Parents are merely objects of their psychological dependence.

This object can be replaced or replaced by others.

So their wish is probably to have someone like their real parents, someone who will always be there for them, care for them, and love them.

Neither of these two wishes can be fulfilled by the player.

Only D-rank players can enter this instance. Who has such great ability?

Isn't this making things difficult for people?

"The game... probably won't release missions that players can't complete; there's no point in doing so."

Fan Xiao began to think.

Is there a way to do both of these things at the same time?

He thought he would think about it for a long time.

As a result, in less than ten seconds, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with the answer.

The answer is actually surprisingly simple.

The instance itself already provides players with hints.

Wangxiang Town is a vast illusion.

Illusions can be terrible.

It can also be beautiful.

Which side it leans towards depends on the person who created the illusion.

"Other little girls can use Yan Keke's imagination ability after they connect to her mental world."

"Then, can I do it too?"

"Can elderly women do it too?"

"Wishes that cannot be fulfilled in the real world can be fulfilled in the virtual world."

"This should be the way to pass the level."

"However... the problem has returned to the beginning. To access Yan Keke's mental world, we first need to... win her over."

After figuring it out, Fan Xiao's gaze fell on Lu Xining.

Lu Xining felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze and subconsciously asked, "What?"

"Do me a favor."

Fan Xiao smiled.

"..." Lu Xining: "Don't tell me you're going to try and win over Yan Keke."

“That’s really smart,” Fan Xiao praised. “I like talking to smart people; it saves me a lot of trouble.”

Lu Xining fell silent.

Fan Xiao didn't press her for the moment, but turned to Li Jian and said, "Are you interested in fulfilling the conditions for the third task?"

"No."

Li Jian honestly shook his head: "Staying in this instance for even a second longer is dangerous, and I wish I could leave right now. Of course, I will completely follow your arrangements, Brother Fan. If you ask me to stay, I will definitely stay."

"you can go now."

"……what?"

“I said,” Van Shaw repeated, “you can leave now.”

"Uh...don't you need me to stay and help?" Li Jian asked.

"There's no point in increasing the number of players in this dungeon, since the attacks are all mental interference, and most players can only withstand them and can't fight back."

Fan Xiao said, "If you stay, you will not only not be an asset, but you will also be an obstacle."

"Not only you, but other players are also obstacles."

"Because players have to tell a scary story and create a monster every night, this will continuously increase the danger level of the dungeon."

He not only wanted to persuade Li Jian to quit.

At the same time, I also want to discourage all players except Lu Xining.

After all, his talent can only be used once every six hours.

It can only last for two minutes at a time.

The monsters in Wangxiang Town can respawn after being killed.

If the number of monsters continues to increase, it will be very dangerous even for someone with his abilities.

Even if a monster with bizarre abilities appears and Fan Qiqi can't summon it, he might fail if he tries to escape using only the "Dustless Shield"... Well, at worst, he can just give up the third mission condition and clear the game directly; failing is out of the question.

"Perfect timing, I have Yan Keke's notebook, so I can send all the players away."

"This dungeon is so dangerous, I bet the other players have wanted to run away a long time ago, but they just can't escape because they can't meet the other quest requirements."

"I saw them off, which suited them perfectly, so... I can't just give them away for free, I have to charge them!"

"I'm short of money right now, so it's time to fleece some newbies by charging 20,000 game coins per person."

Fan Xiao quickly came up with a business that was guaranteed to make money.

Chapter 132 On the Issue of Trust Among Teammates

Half past twelve noon.

Du Ruo, along with her four colleagues, headed towards Fan Xiao's "home" to meet up with him and exchange intelligence.

"Alas, we've gone in the wrong direction with our investigation; there's no school in this town at all."

Liu Xue sighed softly, "Not only did we waste several hours fighting other players, but we also used up a lot of our potions... It's such a loss."

"Fighting players is nothing compared to dealing with monsters. The real challenge lies with those monsters."

Mr. Huang seemed to recall a bad memory, his eyes twitching as he said, "Damn it... which scoundrel told the story of 'the beggar in the toilet'? I was just going to the toilet, and it almost scared me to death!"

"Why would you need to use the toilet in a dungeon? You deserve it!" Liu Xue complained.

"Xiaoxue, we were all suddenly pulled into this dungeon without any preparation. Everyone needs to use the restroom sometimes, we can't just keep holding it in, can we?"

Mr. Huang said, "Who can hold it in for six or seven days straight?"

"Exercise your sphincter muscles more, and you can say no."

"Zhou Jie..." Brother Jie suddenly said.

"Can't you guys talk about something serious?" Du Ruo said speechlessly, "We're in a dungeon right now."

"Old Du, what do you think we should do next?"

Boss Huang asked, "Should we continue looking for clues, or give up on the second and third task conditions? Focusing on the latter two conditions is tantamount to actively increasing the difficulty. We don't have many potions left. If we keep running around like this, we'll encounter even more monsters. We can't keep going like this."

"If we don't waste time now, the monsters will increase in number after tonight, and it will be even more dangerous then."

Liu Xue suggested, "Let's do it in two steps. On one hand, we'll look for clues and try to find the diary to clear the game as soon as possible, and on the other hand, we'll reduce the number of other players."

"Now is not the time to consider morality and ethics. For our own safety, if we encounter unfamiliar players in the future, I suggest we kill them without hesitation!"

"Don't be so radical."

Du Ruo suddenly said, "Since our investigation is going in the wrong direction, Fan Xiao's side might be right."

"A morning has passed. With his abilities, he should already have some relevant clues. Let's go and meet up with him to exchange information."

“Speaking of which…” Liu Xue said, “Do we really have any intelligence to exchange? Didn’t we just waste the whole morning?”

"Who said there is no more?"

Du Ruo retorted, "At least we ruled out the possibility that the diary was at school, didn't we?"

"The school isn't even in the instance, isn't that obvious?"

Liu Xue rolled her eyes.

The five people traveled in silence and soon arrived at the door of Fan Xiao's "home".

“Brother Fan isn’t here,” Boss Huang said.

"He must have gone to Lu Xi... Lu Renjia's place."

Du Ruo analyzed, "Lu Renjia's identity is Yan Keke. They might have actually found some clues. Let's go and meet up."

The five set off again, quickly heading towards Lu Xining's "home".

Upon arriving at their destination, the first thing they saw was a ground littered with corpses.

The blood had long since congealed, leaving large red stains on the ground.

Intestines and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

The bloody scene was extremely nauseating to look at.

Du Ruo's eyes twitched, and she explained to her colleagues, "I told you before that last night Fan Xiao, Lu Renjia, and I did some fishing. These players should be the ones who were fished out. Fan Xiao himself is not a bloodthirsty person."

"Old Du, actually it would be better if you didn't explain."

Liu Xue reminded her.

The members of the Special Affairs Bureau, including her, had all resurfaced the fear that they had previously suppressed.

Mr. Huang asked, "Old Du, are you really sure... Brother Fan is mentally sound?"

"Could Fan Xiao have some kind of psychotic disorder? "Like, getting more excited the more he kills?" Brother Jie asked. "Could it be that Fan Xiao gets more excited the more he kills?"

"Did he really work in advertising design before?" Liu Xue asked. "Are you sure he didn't have a side job like being a 'hitman'?"

“Even a killer wouldn’t dismember a body. I think he must have worked in a slaughterhouse.”

"..."

Du Ruo said speechlessly, "How come you're getting more and more outrageous? Talking behind people's backs is not a good habit."

"It's definitely not a good habit; the person involved will hear it."

Fan Xiao's voice suddenly rang out in front of them.

Everyone was shocked.

They looked ahead and saw that Fan Xiao had appeared at the gate at some point, standing there staring at them.

Liu Xue and the others felt somewhat embarrassed.

Did they hear what you just said?

"Come in and talk."

Fan Xiao waved to them.

The five people exchanged glances and walked towards the living room.

“This must be Lu Renjia’s home,” Du Ruo asked. “Where are her parents and younger brother?”

Fan Xiao replied, "Kill him."

“…Okay.” Du Ruo’s lips twitched.

"You killed the townspeople, but the big-faced monster didn't attack you?" Liu Xue asked curiously.

Fan Xiao replied, "They attacked, and they were killed."

"..."

Liu Xue then asked, "How did you kill it? Weren't we unable to attack the monster?"

"This is personal privacy information, so I won't say more."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "You've come at the right time. I need your cooperation to do something for me."
