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

Li Jian overheard their conversation and kindly reminded them, "Mr. Roman is highly respected here. You should be careful with your conversation, or it might upset others."

Upon hearing this, Mieguo glanced at Li Jian, then looked at Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao pointed to his head and explained, "He's a bit stupid here, please don't take it to heart."

"……What's the meaning?"

Li Jian realized something was wrong.

Fan Xiao actually used honorifics twice when addressing a little girl.

At first, he thought the two were acquaintances and that Fan Xiao was teasing the little girl.

But the second time... uh... no way?

Does this little girl have some kind of noble status?

Could it be the aristocracy of Roman City?

Ignoring Li Jian's question and apprehension, Fan Xiao continued to inquire about the destruction of the country: "What kind of being is the god you mentioned?"

"Regarding God, we can only confirm his existence; everything else is a mystery. Perhaps the people in the game company know some of the answers."

The man seemed uninterested in discussing the destruction of the kingdom: "This topic is too far removed from yours."

"Miss, it's almost dinner time."

At this moment, the old butler glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist and gave a reminder.

“Hmm,” said the Destroyer of the Kingdom, “I’m tired of the flowers here. Let’s arrange to go somewhere else tomorrow.”

"Ok."

The old butler bowed slightly.

Mieguo turned to look at Fan Xiao: "You've kept me waiting for a long time."

"I've been busy with so many things," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "I came over as soon as I finished."

"You still don't value it enough."

He commented on the destruction of the country.

However, she did not pursue the matter further.

“Remember who I am now, Tina Christie.”

The destruction of the country... or rather, Tina reminded Fan Xiao, "Don't use those awkward honorifics anymore. I don't like them. You can just call me teacher."

"Don't you...don't you think it sounds even more awkward to call me that?"

Fan Xiao gave a subtle reminder.

If it were a typical little girl who was so disrespectful to him, he would probably have said, "You're so short, don't you feel inferior standing in front of me? I won't call someone who feels inferior 'teacher'."

But the destruction of a nation... oh no, now Miss Tina is no ordinary person, so he has to adopt a strategic attitude of showing weakness to avoid provoking her.

The scene of Miss Tina destroying the dungeon is still deeply etched in his mind.

Fan Xiao had some doubts about her current elegant, calm, and noble demeanor; perhaps it was all an act to save face.

Essentially, she might be a person with an extremely bad temper... Fan Xiao thought to himself with a hint of sarcasm.

Just don't mess with them.

"If you care about appearance, then there's absolutely no need for that."

Tina said, "Age-wise, I'm a few years older than you."

"Players whose evolution rate reaches 100% will have their bodies partially energy-based and can freely decide their own posture."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao subconsciously glanced at Li Jian's side.

Li Jian seemed not to have heard anything, his expression remained unchanged.

It must be that Miss Tina used some kind of ability.

"Semi-energized..."

Fan Xiao noted down this intelligence.

Unexpectedly, such extraordinary changes would occur after the evolution rate reached 100%.

Energy transformation... transcending the mortal body... escaping aging and death?

Longevity and immortality?

He suddenly had a lot of thoughts.

However, now is not the time to delve deeper.

Fan Xiao temporarily suppressed his wandering thoughts and tentatively addressed her, "Teacher Tina?"

"Ah."

Tina's lips curled up slightly, a rare occurrence, as if she thoroughly enjoyed the nickname.

This scene caught Fan Xiao's eye, making him thoughtful.

If Tina's behavior wasn't feigned, then... judging from her reaction, we can deduce her mindset, and from her mindset, we can deduce her age—Ms. Tina is indeed quite young.

Even her Gothic Lolita-style outfits quite reflect her girlish heart.

but……

Do such young super players really exist?

Fan Xiao had some doubts.

"let's go."

Tina reminded Fan Xiao, then walked towards the nearest exit on the observation deck.

The old butler followed beside her, the parasol in his hand not swaying with his steps, showing his experience and competence.

Fan Xiao sensed a deadly threat emanating from this meticulous old man.

While not as exaggerated as Tina, it was still an existence he couldn't handle at the moment.

Could he be an A-level player?

Or... a duplicate life form similar to Yan Keke?

As Fan Xiao was deep in thought, Li Jian suddenly interrupted him, saying, "Brother Fan, I never expected you to know such an amazing person!"

Fan Xiao looked at Li Jian and found that the latter's expression was quite complicated.

There was shock, but also emotion, admiration, and even joy.

It looks like a pie chart.

"You know her?" Fan Xiao asked.

"That's it."

Li Jian nodded: "A little over a month ago, the royal family conferred the title of Earl Christie, who lives in our Roman City."

“This Miss Tina’s surname is Christie, and considering her demeanor and your attitude… if I’m not mistaken, she is either Earl Christie’s daughter, or… she is Earl Christie himself.”

"Personally, I'm more inclined to believe the former. After all, she looks very young, maybe only 14 years old? A girl that young couldn't possibly make a contribution that would warrant being granted the title of earl, could she?"

He said with an envious tone, "But the count's daughter, that's quite an impressive status. No wonder you use such a respectful term for her."

"count……"

This must be the identity that Mieguo is currently using, Fan Xiao guessed.

Tina Christie is probably a pseudonym.

I just don't know what the purpose is of using this pseudonym after the country was destroyed.

Given her status as a "super player," there shouldn't be anything in Zone 001 that could attract her.

Moreover, she doesn't need to resort to such troublesome methods if she wants something.

Whether it's trading or directly seizing, it's undoubtedly more efficient.

"Speaking of which, does the 001 district actually have an aristocracy?"

Fan Xiao was surprised.

However, he didn't think too much about it for the time being. He called out to Li Jian and caught up with Tina and the old housekeeper.

The four left the observation deck and came to a long, luxurious limousine that looked very expensive.

The old butler opened the left rear door, and after Tina got in, he opened the right door and gestured for Fan Xiao to enter.

Li Jian wanted to follow, but the old butler stopped him: "Sir, please sit in the passenger seat."

"..."

Li Jian felt he was being treated differently, but the difference in their social status prevented him from complaining in the slightest.

After all three got into the car, the old butler went to the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and drove eastward along the wide road.

In the car, Fan Xiao turned his head to look at the white-haired girl and started a conversation, saying, "To join the 'Living Tribunal,' you need to complete the assessment first. That's what you told me before, and it's also the reason you asked me to come to Roman City. Before the assessment, I have a question for you."

Tina turned her head and met Fan Xiao's gaze.

She didn't reply, just quietly looked at Fan Xiao.

"..." Fan Xiao reorganized his words: "I have a question for Teacher Tina."

"Okay." Tina nodded. "Go ahead and ask."

"Wouldn't this count as being forcibly conscripted?" Fan Xiao asked. "Can I refuse?"

“We don’t force people to join,” Tina said, “but you’re different.”

"what is the difference?"

"What goes around comes around."

Tina said meaningfully.

Just as Fan Xiao began to ponder the meaning behind those words, Tina gave the answer directly: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. I solved that island for you, but the fees charged by super players are very high. You can't afford them, so you have to work for me and pay me back slowly."

"...You were swept into that island on your own, weren't you?" Fan Xiao reminded him.

Your probing stems from ignorance.

Tina's voice still carried a languid atmosphere.

"..."

Fan Xiao had no choice but to abandon his initial probing.

At the same time, one thing was confirmed—it seems that Tina had already figured out that he had used some methods on the Sacrifice Island to get her, a super player, involved.

and……

The other party seemed very certain about this, showing not a trace of doubt.

Did she sense something?

Chapter 185 Assassin's Code

Tina seemed to have guessed Fan Xiao's thoughts and suddenly said, "The train ticket I gave you on the train, which corresponds to that D-rank dungeon, might be very helpful for your understanding of psionic energy. You should go and take a look while you're still a D-rank player."

"You suspect that I used psychic powers back then, which dragged you into this?"

Fan Xiao remained vigilant, his words still ambiguous: "Let's assume for now that this view is correct, and also assume that I possess psychic abilities. Based on this, if you know anything about psychic abilities, why not just tell me directly? Why go through all this trouble to investigate in the instance?"

"I don't have a deep understanding of psionics, so I can only answer general questions."

Tina said, "And your question is definitely not ordinary."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao was now certain that the other party had indeed sensed something from him... no, perhaps not his problem, but rather their own problem, and then deduced his abnormality based on their own situation.

As for why the other party attributed his abnormality to psionic abilities rather than gaming talent, that remains unknown.

"Even if I possess psychic powers, I probably wouldn't be valued by a super player, would I?"

"While it is extremely rare for ordinary people to naturally awaken psionic abilities after becoming evolved, if we broaden the scope to the entire evolution game, the number of psionic users is quite considerable and should not be considered too rare, unless they awaken A-level psionic abilities."

"So... why?"
