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

They don't experience hunger themselves; the hallucinations only stimulate their senses of touch, smell, and taste.

That's a pity.

"OK, just a second."

The flight attendant nodded slightly, took the banknotes, and left.

At this moment, the train started moving and slowly pulled away from the station.

Two players managed to get into the carriage at the last minute.

Fan Xiao looked up and saw that a man and a woman had entered.

The man was tall and wore a hat. He had an ordinary appearance, but his straight back gave him a very dignified air.

The woman had long, smooth, jet-black hair, fair skin, delicate features, and a very high level of attractiveness.

However... she's rather flat-chested, having an airport-like figure at such a young age.

Fan Xiao glanced at it and then looked away, without saying a word.

Although these two people boarded the train at station G08-010-A1, they are not necessarily local players from zone 010.

They could also be players from other regions who have just finished the dungeon and are on their way back.

When the long-haired woman walked to the aisle next to Fan Xiao, she suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at Fan Xiao.

The tall man walking behind stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

The woman didn't reply, she just stared at Fan Xiao.

After watching for a few seconds, the woman sat down opposite Fan Xiao.

Upon seeing this, Fan Xiao didn't react much, but Yan Keke, who was looking out the window, became alert first, her delicate face filled with seriousness.

And they were ready to activate the "Valkyrie's Table" item.

Although its name includes "dining table," the dining table is simply an item that is summoned after activating the item.

Therefore, the props have nothing to do with the dining table; they are two blue hair ribbons tied to Yan Keke's two braids on the left and right.

However, after a moment's thought, Yan Keke abandoned the "Valkyrie's Table" and equipped the "Distance Gloves".

The time train is currently in motion, and the "distance glove" might just prove to be surprisingly effective.

For example, you could simply move the player 100 meters away from the car and leave them to fend for themselves.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao reached out and subtly touched Yan Keke's small hand, comforting the girl who was getting a little nervous.

Then he looked at the long-haired woman sitting opposite him and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"The Special Affairs Bureau will disclose information about certain players that require attention to those holding the rank of captain or above. This information includes a two-inch photo."

The woman smiled and said in a somewhat androgynous voice, "I'm very confident in my memory. You seem somewhat familiar to me. I think I must have seen your information. Handsome, let's get to know each other."

"If you're truly confident in your memory, after looking at my information, you should at least remember my name, right?"

Fan Xiao asked calmly.

"Do you know how many players across the country require the Special Affairs Bureau's attention?"

The woman shook her head and said, "The fact that I can remember you is already considered to have a pretty good memory."

"Let's get to know each other. My name is Wu Boyang, or you can call me by my game nickname, Mercury."

"Luo Hao."

The tall man wearing a hat also came closer and sat down next to the woman, introducing himself as, "Game nickname: Undying One."

"Fan Zui".

Fan Xiao echoed this, introducing his new name.

"...Criminal?" Luo Hao was taken aback. "Which two words?"

"The surname Fan, and the character 'Zui' (醉, meaning drunk)."

"Are you sure this name... wasn't made up on the spot?" Mercury asked.

"Since I'm going to make something up, why don't I make something that sounds good?"

Fan Xiao changed the subject and asked, "Are you all from the Special Affairs Bureau?"

"Yes, from the Beijing Municipal Bureau." Mercury asked curiously, "Where are you from?"

“What a coincidence,” Fan Xiao said, “I’m also from Beijing.”

"Oh, we're from the same hometown..."

Mercury sighed.

At this moment, the flight attendant came over and placed the coffee on the table in front of Fan Xiao.

"Sir, please use it slowly."

After giving a polite smile, the flight attendant was about to leave when Fan Xiao called out to her, "Wait a minute, two more cups of coffee, please."

He handed over the game coins.

"OK, just a second."

The train attendant nodded and left the carriage.

"You're treating me to a meal right after we meet?" Mercury said. "To prevent any misunderstanding, let me remind you in advance that I'm a man, so you don't need to show any gentlemanly manners in front of me."

“It’s just a cup of coffee,” Van Shaw shrugged. “What kind of gentlemanly conduct is that?”

"You... aren't surprised?"

Luo Hao, who was standing next to Fan Xiao, glanced at him unexpectedly.

His colleague has a feminine appearance, with an inconspicuous Adam's apple, and is quite beautiful, the kind that would make a shy young man blush. The probability of him being mistaken for someone else is almost 100%.

This was the first time he had ever met someone who showed no surprise and remained completely calm after learning the truth.

No, I'm surprised.

Fan Xiao took a sip of coffee and said, "I thought I had met a beautiful woman, and I was even ready to ask for her contact information, but it turns out I got the gender wrong... What a pity."

"..."

Hearing this calm tone, Luo Hao was momentarily at a loss for words.

Beside Fan Xiao, Yan Keke had already covered her mouth with her hand, looking surprised.

This beautiful woman is actually a man...

The shock was so great that her sense of vigilance was greatly diminished.

A short while later, two new cups of coffee were brought over by the flight attendant.

"Which section are you going to?" Fan Xiao asked.

“Division 001,” Mercury said, “and you?”

"What a coincidence, me too," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "It seems we're quite destined for each other."

As expected, the Special Affairs Bureau sent a lot of players to Zone 001. You can run into two of them every time you go out... It seems that the threat of random dungeons in Zone 010 has reached a critical point.

Ancheng is currently relatively stable.

But in other cities, things are probably already in turmoil.

Fan Xiao made some simple deductions about the intelligence.

"Narcissus Street Station - Hope Middle School, this is the dungeon we're going to."

Luo Hao suddenly revealed the train ticket information to Fan Xiao and asked, "Which one are you going to?"

"What a coincidence, me too..."

"Wait a minute!" Mercury asked suspiciously, "How many 'coincidences' have you had already? Are you sure the instance you're going to is the same as ours?"

“What’s the point of lying about something like this?” Fan Xiao pulled out his ticket and waved it: “As you can see, I’m also from ‘Hope Middle School’.”

The swaying train ticket surprised both Mercury and Luo Hao.

They met a player on the train who was participating in the same instance, and the player was even from their hometown... It has to be said that the three of them were quite destined to meet.

With this coincidental beginning, the three of them immediately started talking non-stop.

On the other side, Yan Keke, sitting next to Fan Xiao, subtly sensed the emotions of the two people opposite her.

After realizing that none of them were hiding any negative emotions, she nodded to Fan Xiao, which also relieved her own nervousness.

That would be best if we didn't have to fight.

Three hours later, the announcement that the train was about to arrive at the station came on, and all three of them felt the train carriage begin to slow down.

Looking out the car window, Fan Xiao saw a bustling corner of the city come into view.

It was unlike any station he had ever been to before.

The stations in zone 001 are on the same spatiotemporal level as the zone itself.

The station connects directly to a corner of the city, as if it were embedded there.

At a glance, people come and go in the steel jungle, and skyscrapers rise one after another.

This is a highly developed world division.

Chapter 158 The Strange Hope Middle School

The time-travel train arrived at its destination soon.

Fan Xiao and the other two left the train carriage and arrived at the platform of Shuixian Street Station.

A large number of people were gathered on the platform. Fan Xiao looked ahead and saw that there were a lot of mechanical guards at the station exit, which was surrounded by metal pillars. The pillars were connected by light strips that emitted blue light, but he didn't know what their purpose was.

"Judging from this situation, you'll need to register your identity to leave the station."

Mercury took a step forward and came to Fan Xiao's side, saying, "Those robots look almost exactly like the train guards I've seen before, and they're very powerful."

"The train guards are robots?" Fan Xiao asked in surprise.

"Looks like you've never encountered a player riot on a train."

Mercury sighed softly, "I was unlucky last time. Some players got into a fight and accidentally injured a train attendant. Then some robots came over, grabbed the troublemakers, and threw them out of the train. They're probably dead by now."

"It doesn't necessarily mean they're dead. There are many spatial vortexes outside the train. Maybe the players who are thrown out will fall into some world partition."

Fan Xiao guessed.

His guess wasn't entirely unfounded.

The train carriage that fell into Wangxiang Town was clearly from the Time Train.

It's highly likely that something went wrong and the train separated from the front carriage while it was moving.

If train carriages can fall into world zones, why can't players?

At this moment, Luo Hao, who had been silent until now, spoke up and asked, "Do we go over there to register and enter the city, then find the instance ourselves, or do we teleport directly to the instance?"

"Let's register. This is a good opportunity to learn about the situation here. Anyway, registration will probably just be registering a title and player category, giving us a temporary identity, which won't have much impact on us."

Mercury said, "Even cannibalistic players aren't directly excluded from Zone 001. We're identified as human and demi-human players, so entering the city shouldn't be a problem."

"A demi-human player, huh..."

Fan Xiao glanced at Luo Hao's hat and joked, "Did you grow animal ears?"

“He’s not that cute,” Mercury debunked. “This guy has tentacles, and he looks kind of disgusting.”

“It seems you were feeding on insect genes back then,” Fan Xiao asked Luo Hao curiously. “What kind of insects did you eat?”

He was just asking casually, not expecting an answer.

After all, issues involving one's own unique genes are secrets. Revealing them would be tantamount to exposing one's abilities and making one vulnerable to being targeted.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows they should keep it a secret.

Even when facing fellow villagers.

However, Fan Xiao made a mistake in his judgment this time.

Luo Hao replied, "Planetarian, water bear, cockroach."
