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

The saintess didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I can trade you a batch of fantasy materials at a low price, but the church is in some chaos right now and it's not as peaceful as before, so there are difficulties in mobilizing resources. It will take about half a month."

"Looks like I've found the right person," Fan Xiao laughed. "It's only half a month, I can certainly wait. I just don't know..."

He asked, "Miss Qiu, what do you need?"

"Will Mr. Fan provide whatever I need?" the saintess asked.

"Of course I'd love to do that, but..."

Fan Xiao sighed softly, "Miss Qiu probably already knows from Jin Na that I'm just a D-level player, right? D-level players have very limited abilities. If your offer is too high, I'll have to give up."

"A player's level is only one of the criteria for judging overall ability."

The saintess smiled and said, "A player who can make Sakura so wary cannot be defined by a simple level. Mr. Fan, you don't need to underestimate yourself."

"Then... what are Miss Qiu's conditions?"

Fan Xiao repeated the question from before.

"Well... I haven't thought of anything yet. How about..."

The saintess appeared to be deep in thought.

After a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Mr. Fan, could you come out with me for a bit? Just consider that my condition."

She gave a slightly playful smile and said, "It's what you call... a date."

"..."

Hearing such abrupt statement, a normal person would probably develop a strange sense of confidence, wondering if she likes me.

However, Fan Xiao simply smiled and replied naturally, "It would be my honor. Shall we go now?"

"No, the timing isn't good."

The saint pointed out the window, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Look, it's already dark. It's not a good time to go out, unless... Mr. Fan wants to experience something special after the date."

“Hehe,” Fan Xiao said, “I don’t quite understand.”

"Then...would you like me to translate it for you in detail?"

"sure."

"I'm a little embarrassed, let's do it next time."

The saintess said, "I will show you with my actions when we have a specific date next time."

"...Oh, I'm really looking forward to it."

Fan Xiao gave a perfunctory response in his mind.

At this moment, Sakura, dressed in a maid outfit, came over carrying two cups of tea. The French maid outfit was perfectly suited to her tall figure, and her long legs were encased in black stockings, adding a touch of allure that slightly broke through her cold temperament, highlighting a sense of contrast.

She's both a bodyguard and a maid, switching seamlessly... Fan Xiao found it quite interesting.

Sakura handed the tea to the Saintess and Fan Xiao respectively, then stood behind the Saintess, silently carrying out her guard duties.

After taking the teacup, the saintess took a sip and looked at Fan Xiao, saying, "Since Mr. Fan doesn't object, then it's settled."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao stopped cooperating and became more serious: "Miss Qiu, are you... serious?"

"Is Mr. Fan underestimating his own charm?"

The saintess asked in an ambiguous tone.

“No, that’s not it,” Fan Xiao said. “I often fall in love at first sight when I look in the mirror, and I even wake up from my dreams because I’m so handsome.”

Upon hearing this, neither the saintess nor Sakura, who was standing behind her, changed their expressions or made any comments.

This made him seem awkward and out of place... Fan Xiao pretended nothing had happened and continued, "But looks only work on infatuated girls. Besides, free things are always the most expensive. Miss Qiu, your conditions are like a joke. Don't you think it makes people a little uneasy?"

"Well... a capable woman can also be a fangirl."

The saintess glanced at Sakura out of the corner of her eye, then smiled at Fan Xiao: "Mr. Fan, do you understand?"

"...I don't quite understand," Fan Xiao said, feigning ignorance.

"What Mr. Fan wants to hear is simply my attitude towards winning over Countess Christie, isn't it?"

The saintess replied, "Don't worry, you are you, and she is she. I have never regarded you as an appendage of the Countess."

"This deal is between you and me, it has nothing to do with the Countess, does it?"

"understood."

Fan Xiao nodded.

Of course, understanding does not mean agreeing.

The saintess showed that she thought highly of him and wanted to invest in him personally.

However, only the saint herself knows how much of this is exaggerated.

Perhaps their ultimate goal is still Tina, who is behind him.

The fact that the transaction went so smoothly made Fan Xiao wary.

He began to weigh the pros and cons.

"The Church seems to be rife with undercurrents right now, involving a power struggle in Roman City? Tina will only offer me some preferential treatment and assistance after my assessment results satisfy her. Getting her involved in this undercurrent would probably be too much trouble for her, so I have to be careful when dealing with the Saintess to avoid being tricked and dragged into it."

"The debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay. Now that we owe the Holy Maiden a favor, what if she tries to take advantage of us in the future? I can help with small favors, but I'll just ignore anything that's too outrageous."

"When faced with a difficult dilemma, the worst thing you can do is abandon this identity and just run away. Although escaping is shameful, it is very useful."

Fan Xiao quickly figured out his escape route.

As long as he lacks morality, even a saint cannot morally blackmail him.

After thinking it through, he smiled and extended his right hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."

The saintess reached out and shook his hand: "I will inform Mr. Fan once the resources are allocated."

Fan Xiao felt a gentle tickle on his palm.

"..."

He ignored the other person's seemingly flirtatious behavior and naturally gave out his contact information.

He then withdrew his right hand and asked about other things: "The church has been uneasy lately. Has something happened?"

"The previous pope returned to the Lord's embrace a year ago."

The saint first made a prayer sign with the sign of the cross, and then continued: "There are currently several candidates for the papacy, vying for the position of pope."

"Miss Qiu is also one of the candidates, right?" Fan Xiao asked.

"I...I guess so."

The saint smiled and said, "The Church controls a portion of the distribution of fantasy matter in Zone 001, and the Pope has the authority to allocate these fantasy matter at will."

"What I have at my disposal is only enough to establish a small safe zone. To create a large safe city like Roman City, a massive amount of fantasy material would be needed."

"Mr. Fan, I imagine you need quite a lot of fantasy materials, right? We'll probably have a lot of cooperation going on in the future."

So that's what it was all about...

First, offer some incentives to lure people in; the real deal will follow.

Fan Xiao understood immediately.

The saintess suddenly asked, "Does what I said make you feel a lot more at ease?"

"..."

"That's just one of the reasons."

The saintess curled her lips slightly: "Mr. Fan, don't forget about the date. That's the real reason."

"Don't clergy need to avoid these things?" Fan Xiao reminded him, "especially nuns."

“The nuns and saints of the Celestial Church must indeed maintain their purity.”

The saintess smiled and said, "However... neither nuns nor saintesses have lifetime appointments. Mr. Fan, do you understand what I mean?"

"..." Fan Xiao asked, "Miss Qiu is quite skilled at this. You don't often say these kinds of things to others, do you?"

"Mr. Fan, you are the first man to enter my home."

The saintess tilted her head slightly, glancing seemingly unintentionally at the dutiful guards behind her: "Otherwise, someone wouldn't have shown such strong hostility. Right, Sakura?"

"..."

Sakura did not respond to that statement.

This attitude is like a tacit agreement.

"Then I'd be honored."

Fan Xiao smiled and asked, "May I ask Miss Qiu why she made an exception for me?"

"Well..." The saintess reached up and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, "Guess?"

……

After Fan Xiao left.

Sakura's gaze fell on the saintess, and she said in a rather serious tone, "Miss, this man is dangerous. You should minimize contact with him."

"How so?" the saintess asked curiously.

“During our previous encounter, he suddenly posed a very deadly threat to me.”

"A deadly threat... Is this feedback from your hyperintuition talent?"

"Ah."

Sakura nodded: "This proves that he has the ability to kill me. I am not confident of victory in a fight against him."

"That's a really high compliment," the saintess said with a smile.

"Saintess, why did you invite him to your home?" Sakura asked. "The Countess may have some value worth cultivating, and there's evidence to support that. I also trust your judgment, but he... I admit he's quite capable, but he shouldn't be strong enough for you to... to..."

"Selling one's body?"

The saintess got up from the sofa, stretched, and her graceful figure relaxed.

Sakura glanced at it a few times, then looked away.

The saintess approached her and gently tidied her hair, which had become somewhat disheveled from their previous encounter: "Don't overthink things."

"Um……"

Sakura's eyes became somewhat unfocused.

The saintess smiled and said, "It's late. We have a lot to do tomorrow. Go to sleep."

After she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand, and one of the silver rings on her hand was illuminated by the moonlight streaming in from the window.

The saintess glanced at the ring and gently stroked it.

The moonlight illuminated her thoughtful face.

"Fan Zui... Fan Xiao..."

She murmured softly.

Chapter 193 Boys must protect themselves when they are out.

After leaving the Saintess's house, Fan Xiao used invisibility and walked a distance before revealing his figure.

As I said before, the saintess has a lot of sycophants, so we need to be careful.

A short while later, he returned to where the shuttle car was parked, opened the door, and got in.

"Back to Rice Estate."

Fan Xiao gave instructions to the driver.

Yan Keke sat down next to him and reminded him, "Brother Fan, that sister is dangerous."

"Oh?" Fan Xiao asked, "She showed me hostility?"

"No."
