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

He then flew to other buildings.

Rumble, rumble...

The sounds of buildings being destroyed could be heard continuously.

In pursuit of speed, Fan Xiao loosened his restrictions on the little angel, allowing her to fight with abandon.

The little angel enlarged the scythe, and each slash was equivalent to a small-area AOE attack, leaving the buildings riddled with holes.

Inside the fifth building, Nori and her three companions arrived at the hole in the wall that Van Shaw had just created.

Watching the buildings outside being smashed through one after another, and listening to the constant roaring sounds, it took them less than a minute for their expressions to go from shock to numbness.

A short while later, the four of them heard a whooshing sound.

Looking ahead, they saw Fan Xiao flying over at an extremely fast speed and landing in front of the four of them.

The battle is over.

Fan Xiao glanced to the side and saw Fan Qiqi disappear from the spot with a flushed face.

This time she had a good time killing, and her mind and body were greatly satisfied.

Of course, as always, Fan Xiao had to take the blame.

"Is it... over, Earl?"

Nori blinked, breaking the silence first.

Fan Xiao glanced at her.

The next second, the head guard and the head maid stepped forward and shielded Nori behind them.

"..."

Fan Xiao was already used to this kind of reaction.

Ignoring the two guards' reactions, he said, "I've cleared out all the monsters in the lab. There should be some scattered monsters outside searching for players, but they're no longer a threat. We can deal with them when we have time."

"Ahem... Brother Fan, I think... I think you can handle the cleanup by yourself."

Gawain couldn't help but say, "If we join in, we'll only hold you back and reduce your efficiency in clearing monsters."

“This was just a temporary burst of energy,” Fan Xiao laughed. “I don’t have the strength to do it a second time. I still need to rely on you guys.”

"..."

Do you really believe these familiar words...? Gawain really wanted to ask that.

But he was too afraid to actually ask.

"You concealed your player type?" the head maid asked Fan Xiao. "Just now, you used a talent unique to human players, didn't you?"

"No, this is a genetic ability."

Fan Xiao insisted.

Gawain said speechlessly, "Isn't your genetic ability only strong in mental power?"

“Yeah,” Vanshaw shrugged, “so I used my mental powers to crush the monster.”

"..." Gawain: "What about flying?"

“I used my mental power to lift myself up,” Fan Xiao said dismissively. “That’s not flying, that’s called lifting myself up and moving horizontally in the air. That’s a more accurate description.”

At this moment, Nori interjected, asking, "Count, were you using telekinesis just now? Your telekinesis is incredibly powerful!"

"Now is not the time to discuss my abilities."

Fan Xiao smiled, neither confirming nor denying, maintaining a degree of mystery.

He brought up other things: "Let's collect the employee ID badges first; there are some things we need to get done before dark."

Chapter 215: Speculation on the Method to Clear the Level

After finalizing the follow-up work, Fan Xiao did not immediately go to the director's office to check on the situation. Instead, he went with Nori and the other three to other buildings to collect the employee ID badges left behind by the monsters.

Previously, in order to make full use of the little angel's time in the real world, he basically only focused on killing and didn't care about taking anything, so the follow-up work will take some time.

In addition, Fan Xiao also planned to deal with the remaining scattered monsters in the research institute.

It's not that he has a grudge against monsters.

What he really needed were the metal name tags on the monsters.

According to his guess, the employee ID badge is directly related to the conditions for completing the second task.

Fortunately, neither of these tasks is difficult.

Because he had taken on and completed the most difficult tasks all by himself.

While searching for employee ID badges, Nori and her three companions looked at the dismembered monsters scattered all over the floor and the building that had been destroyed beyond recognition. Suddenly, the shock they had suppressed before surged up from the bottom of their hearts again.

Gao Wen felt he could no longer treat Fan Xiao the same way he used to.

Norrie, the head guard, and the head maid, while surprised by Vanshaw's power, did not show much awe.

"Count, are you really a D-rank player who entered through a train ticket? Or were you dragged in?"

As Nori picked up the metal plaque from the blood and body parts, she asked suspiciously, "The talent you displayed earlier must have been at a very high level, unlike what a D-rank player could upgrade. Could it be... that your talent started at a very high level?"

“No,” Van Shaw replied, “it’s genetic ability.”

"Hmph... Fine, don't say if you don't want to."

Nori pouted: "You asked me to protect you before, I suspect you were just kidding me."

"Your Highness is too kind. I am genuinely seeking refuge."

Fan Xiao smiled and said frankly, "Don't be fooled by how powerful I was just now. That was an explosive skill, not sustainable. It can't compare to your permanent skills."

Anyway, no one believes him whenever he tells the truth.

Since that's the case, he's too lazy to bother fabricating false information.

"and."

Fan Xiao continued, "A high starting point for talent is not uncommon, so there's no need to worry about it so much."

"No, this kind of thing is very rare."

Nori looked up at Vanshaw and said, "The Evolution Game has a certain balance. This balance is evident in the areas of talents and items."

She glanced at the head maid.

The head maid understood immediately and continued, explaining in detail on Nori's behalf: "Your Highness is right. There is a certain degree of game balance in the areas of talents and items."

"First and foremost is talent; the highest starting level I've ever seen is C."

"Although a talent that can be classified as C-level as soon as it is developed has great potential and can usually be upgraded to A-level without any obstacles, it usually takes 3 to 4 upgrades to reach A-level."

"In other words, A-level talents will only appear in a small number of B-level and A-level players."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "When talent levels are low, the differences between them are not too exaggerated, so the strength gap between low-level players is generally not so large that they can be killed instantly upon first meeting."

"What about adding items?" Fan Xiao said, "Players backed by large forces should be able to get high-level items and equipment in advance, right?"

"That's certainly possible, but there are limitations."

The head maid replied, "At most, we can only use items one level higher than us. For example, a D-level player can only use C-level items."

"Even if we equip higher-level items, we can't unleash their full power. This is the balance at the item level, a limitation that evolution games impose on players."

After the head maid finished speaking, Nori looked at Vanshaw and said, "Do you understand, Earl?"

"The strength of players of the same level is generally not too different."

“Everyone’s items were sealed during the day, but you killed four players in the blink of an eye. This is a very rare phenomenon.”

She asked with a curious expression, "Your starting talent level can't be higher than C, right?"

"It seems you've already decided that I'm using my talent."

Fan Xiao sighed softly, "I admit, it is indeed a starting C-level talent. It seems more powerful because of its long cooldown time."

"The cooldown time is long... but it varies, which is reasonable."

Nori nodded, then said enviously, "Starting with a C-rank talent, it'll definitely be upgraded to an A-rank talent once the player's level increases. That's great..."

"Isn't Your Highness's starting point C?" Fan Xiao asked.

"No, my starting point is D, C is very rare."

Nori said, "If you start at C, your talent will be upgraded twice during the D-level player stage, and your level will generally rise to B, giving you a huge advantage over other players."

"Especially in some dungeons, the right to use items is restricted. At this time, the advantage of these players is even greater."

I am really envious.

Even if she has a very noble status in reality, she still doesn't have much of an advantage when it comes to developing her talents.

Because this depends on luck.

Items that can increase luck are very rare, and low-level items don't have much effect.

As for items with high-level luck attributes... even if a low-level player has such an item, its effectiveness is limited due to the player's level.

"The seals are absolutely awful!"

Nori gritted her teeth and complained.

Fan Xiao: "..."

The image of Lu Baizhi appeared in his mind.

Based on Nori's statement, it can be inferred that Lu Baizhi's talent has now been upgraded to level B, but it is unknown what the specific effects will be.

He became a little curious.

……

Because there were five people working together, the work of picking up the employee ID badges was completed very quickly.

Before 5:30 p.m., Fan Xiao and his group of five had collected all the employee ID badges.

Even the few surviving monsters scattered throughout the research institute couldn't escape their clutches; they were all killed and their cards stolen.

In other words, all the humanoid monsters were wiped out.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the research institute is completely safe during the day.

But night was fast approaching.

At this moment, each of the five people was holding a large bunch of metal plaques.

Gao Wen spoke up to remind us, "I reckon these employee ID badges, like the name tags we use at night, will disappear from our possession once the time is up."

“I know,” Fan Xiao nodded, “that’s why I suggested collecting employee ID badges first.”

Leaving the director's office unattended and rushing to pick up the plaques first was certainly not a decision he made on a whim.

If employee ID badges disappear at night, collecting them before dark and using them in advance is essential.

"We will make a judgment based on the intelligence we have gathered."

Nori said, "The employee ID badge is, in a sense, equivalent to a researcher. These badges... could perhaps be used as sacrifices to the test subjects to gain their forgiveness? And thus break the closed space?"

Now, without Fan Xiao's prompting, she could pretty much guess the true purpose of the brand.

The invisible barrier sealing off the Seventh Research Institute may be backed by a psionic monster.

The precursors of psionic monsters were all experimental subjects.

Offering these tokens as sacrifices to please the monster might just make it give up the blockade.

At that time, the second task condition will be naturally met.

This logic is very simple, and it's not difficult to deduce.

The head maid added, "When the dungeon first opened, we threw items outside the research institute, but they were all bounced off and shattered by the invisible barrier."

"Throwing these metal signs out would probably just result in them being smashed to pieces."

“The employee ID badge represents the researcher, and the barrier represents the test subject. Let the test subject crush the researcher with his own hands to complete the revenge... This method of passing the level is reasonable from the perspective of emotional logic.”

After Norrie and the head maid finished speaking, they both looked at Van Shaw.
