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

At least in this new node G08, no player has emerged with such power.

"Perhaps... it's just the effect of a high-level item? Players have all sorts of items, so it's not incomprehensible that Sakura's ability would be ineffective if it were a high-level or higher, targeted item with a powerful effect."

The saintess reined in her wandering thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

If Fan Xiao knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be able to deduce why the little angel's attack on the country's destruction had failed.

The little angel's attack range is only 10 meters, so it naturally cannot cross the gap between the two worlds and interfere with the destruction of a country.

If she hadn't used the scythe capable of "conceptual killing" at the end, the entire destruction of the kingdom would have been immune to all attacks, and that scratch on her face would never have appeared.

This is what makes a super player who controls an S-level dungeon so terrifying.

"I'm sorry, Holy Maiden, I didn't expect this to happen."

Sakura said with some self-reproach, "Now we've fallen out with Earl Christie, and I've ruined your plans. I'm sorry..."

"Don't blame yourself."

The saintess revealed a gentle expression and said, "In a sense, you actually helped me indirectly."

"Help...me?" Sakura asked, somewhat puzzled.

"In interpersonal interactions, there is no need to worry about causing trouble for the other party."

The saintess reminded them, "It's a society based on human relationships; only through contact can there be social interactions."

"If I trouble you today, I will repay you tomorrow, and that's how a good relationship is established."

"Even if you upset the other person, apologizing afterwards and giving them a gift that will please them is a way to break the ice and build a personal connection."

She sighed softly, "Either way, it's better than being ignored all the time."

"It can still be like this..."

Sakura felt her thinking gradually breaking through its limitations.

"Moreover," the saintess continued, "the other party possesses a means to evade your B-level talent, so he is probably a formidable character. My guess was correct; Earl Christie is indeed no simple man."

"She may not be simple, but does she really have a say in the royal family?"

Sakura cautioned, "If we guess this wrong, we'll waste a lot of resources and time."

"How could it be a waste?"

The saint smiled and said, "It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Besides, I trust my judgment."

She explained, "The conferment of an honorary earldom is not so casual. Miss Christy appeared out of nowhere and had no prior record in Division 001."

"Why would the royal family give her so much face? Sakura, don't you think... this is more like a compromise?"

“I’ve thought about this question too,” Sakura said, “but it’s just speculation.”

"The taller the tree, the more the wind blows. There are many people who dislike Miss Christy, and many believe that she has stolen the position and glory that should have been hers."

The saintess continued, "Over the past month, there have been many people who have secretly tested her with insidious methods. Many of these people are of extraordinary status, but those who dared to make a move all disappeared in the end. And the royal family has not made any response to these disappearances. What do you think is the reason?"

"Either the royal family and Miss Christy are close and helped her suppress it, or... they're playing the coward."

Sakura said, "If it's the latter, it means Miss Christy is a very formidable person. It would be risky for us to approach her rashly."

"If it's the former... even if we establish a relationship with the royal family through this countess, the royal family is currently very weak, and they probably won't interfere in the matter of the pope's succession."

"I have a feeling that the final outcome of this matter will not satisfy us."

“We don’t need their interference,” the saint reminded her. “We just need them not to take the opportunity to cause trouble.”

"Actually, there is another option."

Sakura's tone became more serious: "We can leave here, stop worrying about these things, and there's no need to lower ourselves to beg others anymore."

"Hmm...that sounds pretty cool. But..."

The saintess gently shook her head: "People are all connected in a net, and everyone will be swept along to some extent."

"Sitting in this position, I need to be responsible for many people. It's not something I can just leave casually."

"and……"

She made the sign of the cross on her chest: "Roman City needs the Lord's teachings for redemption and restraint. If the Church falls completely into the hands of those capitalists and nobles, the current situation will be completely destroyed, and the people will only be exploited even more exaggeratedly."

"To avoid this, if there are difficulties, we will solve them."

“Sakura, the Sakura I know isn’t someone who’s afraid of challenges.”

“I don’t care,” Sakura said, “but it’s you, Saintess. Do you really think it’s okay to beg for help like this? You really hate these nobles.”

"Thank you for your concern, my lovely Sakura."

The saint smiled.

"...As guards, this is what we should do."

Sakura's expression was slightly unnatural, but she quickly concealed it and returned to her indifferent state.

"I only dislike a portion of the nobility."

The saint comforted her, saying, "Besides, don't you think it's a very interesting thing to interact with all kinds of people?"

"Don't worry, asking for favors is just a social skill. You're being a bit too stubborn about it."

A playful smile curved her lips: "As long as you don't take it seriously, it's just a performance. Observing the reactions of those actors on my stage and under my script is really... cough, excuse me."

"..."

Sakura looked at the saintess with suspicion.

However, her suspicions were quickly dispelled by the other person's beauty.

The saintess's clear eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, lively, ethereal, and pitiful, as if a single glance could make one unable to move.

Perfect facial features, a gentle smile, and cascading black hair...

The solemn nun's habit she wore, combined with her near-perfect figure, outlined a subtly alluring curve that was both breathtaking and captivating, adding a touch of desire to the sense of holiness.

Sakura knew that nuns' habit in the church was made of thick, comfortable fabric, so they didn't wear anything underneath...

"cherry."

The saintess called out softly to her guards.

Sakura snapped out of her daze and shook her head slightly: "Sorry."

“It’s alright,” the saintess reminded her, “Don’t stare at me like that next time; your mental resistance is still a bit weak.”

"Um……"

Sakura changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Saintess, you just said that we can establish a relationship with Earl Christie by apologizing. I've actually found a breakthrough in that regard."

The saintess asked curiously, "Tell me about it."

"My observation just now, though brief, was not without its merits. Miss Christy personally received a young man, something that has never happened before."

Sakura said, "Even when the princess visited half a month ago, this countess only gave her a perfunctory response. It seems that the man is more important to her than the princess of the royal family."

"Male..." The saintess's lips curled up slightly: "Indeed, it's a very good breakthrough point."

Hearing the saintess's tone, Ying frowned and said, "Saintess, you...you're not planning to sell your body, are you?"

"Well..."

Looking at Sakura's expression, the saintess deliberately smiled and said, "Perhaps."

cherry:"……"

Just as she was about to say something, the saint suddenly got up from her seat, stood up and stretched.

Beneath her towering breasts, her slender waist seemed so delicate it could be grasped in one hand, and her pert, heart-shaped buttocks made one's mouth dry—the graceful curves of her body, outlined by her dark nun's habit, were perfectly displayed in the stretch of her languid yawn.

Sakura's gaze became somewhat unnatural.

The saintess's words brought her back to her senses: "Judging by the time, the people who want to drive us away should be here soon. Let's cooperate with them."

A short while after she finished speaking, the door to the reception room opened.

The old butler, with his sharp features and composed demeanor, walked in.

His gaze was no longer peaceful, but sharp as a hawk's: "Gentlemen, the young lady strongly disapproves of crossing the line. You should go back."

"I apologize. I failed to properly restrain my guard, which led to her rude behavior. I will punish her accordingly when I return."

The saintess's face was full of apology: "I will formally apologize in person another day. I hope the countess can forgive our mistake this time."

She bowed her head and showed great courtesy and humility, making it difficult to criticize her.

Seeing this, the old butler softened his sharp gaze slightly: "You may leave."

"The church will be hosting a mass the day after tomorrow. I wonder if the Countess will have time?"

The saintess did not back down despite the rejection, and took the initiative to ask.

“I will convey this to Miss,” the old butler said in a calm tone, “It all depends on Miss’s wishes.”

……

at the same time.

Inside the restaurant, bathed in warm-toned lighting, long dining tables are set up.

Fan Xiao and Miss Tina sat facing each other a few meters apart, the atmosphere somewhat formal due to the surroundings.

He was unaware that someone was targeting him, and was currently focused on dealing with the "nuclear bomb teacher" in front of him.

The maids pushed a food cart, placed the sterilized silver cutlery in front of Fan Xiao, and set up a candlestick in the middle of the long table, dimming the lights in the room to make the flickering candlelight stand out more.

Tonight's dinner is similar to Western food, but it's not about the food, it's about the atmosphere.

Even eating a meal has to be this pretentious...

Fan Xiao suspects that "Teacher Tina" may have been born into a noble family.

Perhaps he's some kind of assassination noble?

As a young lady, her sense of ceremony is much more elaborate than that of an ordinary person like him.

However, this was just a minor incident, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

After picking up his knife and fork, Fan Xiao said while preparing the food, "Teacher Tina, you shouldn't be concerned about etiquette like not talking while eating, right?"

"Are you planning to ask me questions during mealtime?"

Tina continued processing the food without stopping: "Your mindset is a bit restless. An assassin needs patience, and patience needs to be trained by integrating it into daily life."

You're an impatient guy who blows up the map as soon as you enter the dungeon, and you're telling me to be patient... Fan Xiao really wanted to complain, but he held back.

“It’s less about restlessness and more about curiosity,” he said. “Or perhaps… worry?”

“No need to worry,” Tina replied. “I’ve said before that you have great talent, and completing the assessment won’t be difficult. The challenge is how to make me more satisfied.”

"Since you've already allowed me to call you teacher, what's the point of the assessment?"

"Assessment is the rule of the court of life; an organization cannot function without rules."

Does the Tribunal for Life have a headquarters? If so, where is it?

Seeing that Miss Tina answered every question, Fan Xiao took the opportunity to throw out several more questions: "What are the obligations of joining? What are the benefits? An organization that only gives without giving back can't last long."

Upon hearing this, Tina put down her knife and fork and quietly looked at Fan Xiao for a while.

Only after Fan Xiao felt the pressure did she say, "Go at my pace."

"of course."

Fan Xiao smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Tina volunteered, "The Tribunal of Life's test is very simple; just direct an assassination."

"director?"

Fan Xiao grasped the key words immediately.

Since the Tribunal for Life is an assassin organization, it naturally wouldn't be doing anything unethical.

What else can you do with recruiting assassin players besides assassination?

Based on his speculation, Tina would likely use a challenging assassination mission as his test for joining the organization.

Successfully completing the assassination means passing the test.
