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

"Hehe, I was planning to kill you just now, but I've changed my mind. Does that mean I let you go? In other words, it's like I saved your life?"

Fan Xiao lowered his voice and said, "I advise you not to be ungrateful."

“…I don’t have that many game coins,” the tall, thin player said.

“That’s none of my business,” Fan Xiao shrugged. “You can throw your items to the game for recycling; I’m just here to collect the money.”

The tall, thin player fell silent.

Judging from his attitude of not immediately fleeing the place, he must have compromised.

Seeing this, the other players dared not voice any further dissent.

If you object, the price will increase by 80,000.

Who can refute that?

Soon, a bold female player stepped forward and completed the transaction with Fan Xiao, disappearing into the town.

With the first, there is the second, the third...

In less than five minutes, all the players were sent out by Fan Xiao.

Du Ruo said to Fan Xiao, "We've finished helping out, so we have to go. Take care of yourself... Oh, right, I almost forgot something."

He quickly told Fan Xiao about all the monsters he and his colleagues had encountered.

This way, Fan Xiao won't be caught off guard when he encounters these monsters later.

"See you later."

After saying goodbye, Du Ruo and several colleagues disappeared from the spot.

"Brother Fan, I have to go now." Li Jian said to Fan Xiao, "When you get to District 001, I'll treat you to a meal and show you around. Goodbye."

After saying that, he disappeared.

Of all the players remaining in the entire Wangxiang Town, only Fan Xiao and Lu Xining are still alive.

Fan Xiao then turned around, his gaze falling on Lu Xining, and said, "Xi Ning, what's your decision?"

Since there were no outsiders in the instance, he called out the girl's real name.

"Nothing to think about."

Lu Xining said, "You're the one who helped me get through this. Without you, I would have been stuck here for seven days and might not have survived. So I have to repay your favor. By the way..."

After a pause, she asked, "What exactly do you plan to do?"

"Just do whatever makes kids like you."

Fan Xiao shrugged and said, "You don't need to feel any pressure. There's only one thing you need to do in cooperation with me."

"Which one?" Lu Xining asked curiously.

"Don't resist, just enjoy it."

"..."

Suddenly, footsteps echoed inside the brick house.

Fan Xiao and Lu Xining both turned their heads to look.

The parents and younger brother who had disappeared before reappeared in the living room.

Lu Xining frowned and said, "They also refresh, which is a bit troublesome."

"It's not really a problem."

Fan Xiao said, "After they are killed, there is a gap of about four hours between when they are respawned."

"The only trouble our parents caused us players was the afternoon ritual where they would bleed us and whip us."

"If we kill them before this time, we should be able to avoid the sacrificial ceremony."

After Fan Xiao finished speaking, he walked towards the front door of the brick house, quickly entered the living room, and glanced at the roof beam.

There was no sound at all.

Since the parents and younger brother have both respawned, the big-faced monster on the roof beam must have respawned as well.

But the monster didn't jump out and attack him...

"It seems the hatred from before won't carry over to the present..."

"That's true, since it's not the same one as before."

This is actually a good thing for him.

After all, to "win over" Yan Keke, one must confront her parents.

If you argue with your parents, the big-faced monster will take action.

With Fan Qiqi around, he naturally wasn't afraid.

But if Fan Qiqi kills a monster, the monster that respawns will hold a grudge and attack her every time it respawns... that would be a bit troublesome.

Because the monster's respawn time is shorter than Fan Qiqi's cooldown time.

"You are... Xiao Cui from Old Chen's family? What are you doing here again?"

When the mother saw Fan Xiao walk into her house without any hesitation, her face immediately darkened, and she said, "Get out! Why are you always running to other people's houses? You're a spoiled brat! Get out!"

Fan Xiao ignored the woman's curses.

Seeing that there was no movement on the roof beam, he turned around and walked out of the living room.

Lu Xining was standing not far away outside.

"How was it?" the girl asked.

"It's good news that respawned monsters don't hold grudges."

After replying, Fan Xiao got down to business, saying, "Before last night, as far as we know, four players died. And the total number of players who entered the instance this time, including us, is 36."

"In other words, apart from the old woman with the dried corpse and the big-faced monster, there are likely around 30 other monsters roaming around in this instance."

"Even if they are killed, they will respawn, and their range of movement seems to be unrestricted. We... are in danger."

After reiterating the dangers, he offered a solution: "Therefore, you must stay with me like a shadow, so that I can help you escape if anything goes wrong."

“This is okay during the day, but not at night, right?” Lu Xining asked.

"In the evening, you wait at home for a few hours. After I kill the mummified old woman at 11 o'clock, I will come to find you."

Fan Xiao said, "I'll take you to the sky for refuge then. Many monsters can't teleport and can't go up to the sky."

"Once the old woman with the dried corpse respawns, we'll land here, and then I'll come back to find you at daybreak. We can repeat this process to minimize the danger."

Chapter 134 Lu Xining's Dramatic Experiences

Lu Xining thought about Fan Xiao's plan carefully and felt that it was feasible.

Although there are many monsters in this dungeon, apart from the old woman with the dried corpse and the weasel that appeared earlier, they have not yet encountered any other monsters that can teleport to the sky.

Staying in the air can indeed avoid a lot of trouble.

The only time she would face great danger is between 8 pm and 11 pm.

During those three hours, because of the mummified old woman, she and Fan Xiao had to separate and stay in their own homes.

Unlike Fan Xiao, she had neither the means to attack monsters nor the tools to quickly evade them.

What if a large wave of monsters attacks her during this time...

"I've made it clear beforehand that I'm willing to help, but if I encounter any danger that I can't handle during the three hours we're apart at night, I'll just leave through customs."

Lu Xining told Fan Xiao her bottom line.

Hearing the girl's words, Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "You don't actually think I value achieving the conditions for the third mission more than your life, do you?"

"If I encounter a danger that I can't handle, of course I should leave immediately. Do I really need to be reminded of that?"

"Are you now in the character-building phase?" Lu Xining asked.

"No, it was just normal conversation."

Fan Xiao said, "I've noticed that your egoistic tendencies are getting a bit too strong, and they're affecting your judgment of other people."

“Take me for example. I’m such a normal person, but in your eyes, I’ve become a typical egoist.”

"I was just expressing my concern for my teammates, but you took it as an act... You're sick, you need to get treatment."

"Are you a normal person?" Lu Xining sneered. "Heh."

"Don't laugh yet, I'm much more normal than you."

Fan Xiao said, "Do you remember when we first met? How could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl like you be so ruthless when you got into a fight?"

"You either stab someone in the eye socket or in the heart, without the slightest hesitation. Do you think any normal girl would act like that?"

"If your sister hadn't been there and acted normally, I would have really suspected that you were trained as an assassin by some foreign organization."

"You both killed and dismembered the body."

Lu Xining retorted, "You call that more normal than me?"

“I admit to killing people,” Fan Xiao said. “Dismembering people has nothing to do with me. It’s my innate fixed attack pattern. Killing someone will cause dismemberment, but it has nothing to do with me.”

"Stop shifting the blame. From what I've seen, every enemy or monster that dies at your hands has a new and interesting way of dying. Where exactly is your attack pattern fixed?"

"..."

"Don't worry, I've already accepted that you have a fetish for dismembering corpses. Even if you don't explain anything now, I won't despise or look down on you."

"..."

Fan Xiao sighed inwardly.

In the end, he shouldered it all alone.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.

A chill ran through me.

The familiar stiffness has returned.

"..."

Fan Xiao turned his neck and said to Lu Xining, "Squat down and look up at me, and help me see if there's a female ghost on my neck."

"A monster attack?"

Lu Xining's expression turned serious. She squatted down, looked up, and examined Fan Xiao's neck.

Then she saw a disheveled female ghost.

Because she had prepared herself mentally, Lu Xining was not frightened. Instead, she curiously observed the female ghost's state.

Then she stood up and said, "It's true that a woman was riding on your shoulders. Does that have a big impact on you?"

"So this guy is back again..."

Fan Xiao shook his head: "It won't have a big impact. It's just a decrease in physical flexibility and an increased feeling of cold. We don't need to worry about her for now."

This female ghost doesn't have a significant impact on non-melee players.

Of course, it's also possible that the negative buff she created will continue to increase over time.

It's only in the initial stage now, and the effects are still very weak.

"He actually had the nerve to come back after cheating on me..." Fan Xiao thought to himself, muttering to himself.

"It seems that the other players have all left, which is also a disadvantage for us." Lu Xining sighed softly, "The chances of us being targeted by monsters are much greater now."

"Since the ground is dangerous, let's go up to the sky first."

Fan Xiao manipulated the "Dustless Shield" to lift himself and Lu Xining into the sky.

He only stopped after flying to the location of the spatial barrier that separated the instance from the outside world.

Looking down, the town appears quite small.

At this distance, you can basically avoid attacks from most monsters.

Fan Xiao generated a fixed repulsive barrier beneath his feet, and the repulsive force was just enough to support the weight of the two of them, just like the real ground.
