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

"By the way, everyone, Xiaorou didn't make it in the end. She turned into a monster and sealed off the entire research institute. The way the surviving researchers panicked and fled at the end was really funny. They may never understand that a kind child like Xiaorou, if we apologized to her, admitted our mistakes, and gave her a proper burial, we might have been able to get her released."

"Unfortunately, they are all demons; how could they possibly understand?"

"I really should have filmed them looking so pathetic, so you could all see."

"It's a pity you can't see it anymore, so I've decided to let it go."

"I'm leaving, and I'm not coming back."

"Let the director's death be the end of everything."

"By the way, that devil director even tried to sow discord, saying that Teacher Zhuang had been lying to me all along, and that he would take me back to my parents if I let him go."

"He's so stupid. I'm an orphan, where would I get parents?"

"I didn't want to listen to this disgusting idiot anymore, so I just killed him without torturing him. He should really thank me, hehe."

I'll stop here.

"Goodbye, everyone."

—To my dear compatriots.

——October 25, 2068.

Chapter 217 Van Shaw's Revenge Plan

"So this is what happened to the eight missing test subjects...?"

After reading the letter, Nori frowned slightly: "I feel like they've all been deceived by that Teacher Zhuang."

"Professor Zhuang should be the Dr. Zhuang mentioned in the memory fragment of the name tag. It's surprising that he's not affiliated with the research institute."

The head maid said, "He must have used the Seventh Research Institute to have seven psionicists created for him."

"This guy reaped the benefits from behind the scenes and then shifted the blame onto others. He's really insidious and shameless."

"It's just dogs fighting."

Gao Wen commented, "Neither Dr. Zhuang nor the research institute are any good people!"

"It's not necessarily a dog-eat-dog situation."

The head maid reminded her, "Judging from the contents of the letter, Dr. Zhuang should also be a psychic, capable of manipulating other people's memories."

"The person who wrote this letter has most likely had their memories rewritten and become an 'orphan'."

"Since he can rewrite the memories of experimental subjects, the cruelty displayed by the researchers in the Seventh Research Institute may also be due to his behind-the-scenes influence."

"Of course, it's also possible that I'm overthinking it. Perhaps the researchers here are morally bankrupt."

She looked up at Gao Wen and said, "Didn't you have memory problems before? This should have been done by Dr. Zhuang as well."

"In order to ensure that the logic in reality would be consistent and that there would be no loopholes, he not only altered the memories of the test subjects, but he also did not spare their relatives."

"He stripped these children of any trace in other people's memories, making them truly 'disappear'."

"...I have no recollection of Dr. Zhuang, but judging from the contents of the letter, it is highly likely to be him. You are right."

Gao Wen did not refute, but sighed softly, "I wonder what happened to those seven kids who left Division 007 with Dr. Zhuang."

"That depends on Dr. Zhuang's purpose."

Nori analyzed, "The letter mentions that there may be an organization behind Dr. Zhuang, and the person who wrote the letter is qualified to join this organization because they have awakened psychic abilities."

"If Dr. Zhuang is not lying about this, then all seven children should still be alive."

"They are all evolved beings, and they will definitely be selected as prospective players to join the evolution game. Whether they live or die in the dungeons will depend on their own abilities."

When she said that, she didn't realize that she was actually a young child herself.

It feels awkward for one child to call another child.

However, she still managed to create a very convincing impression when she tried to appear mature, and no one complained about it.

Nori continued, "An organization composed of psychic psionicists... not only that, they may also control a group of psionicists with other ability types. This organization... seems quite powerful."

“I haven’t heard similar information at node G08. If I’m not mistaken, Dr. Zhuang must have come from another time-space node.”

"Manipulating people's minds and memories... it doesn't feel like a positive organization."

Gao Wen frowned and said.

If he could, he would still very much like to avenge his sister.

But now Dr. Zhuang is not in Division 007, so finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even if he found it, he would be completely powerless against an organization composed of mind manipulators.

The helplessness of reality made Gao Wen sigh inwardly.

To suppress his frustration, he forced himself to shift his attention and asked about other things, saying, "By the way, the person who left this letter has awakened a B-level mental ability."

"His psionic energy has reached B-level, which is quite formidable."

"Under these circumstances, even the letter's owner could be controlled by Dr. Zhuang... Could Dr. Zhuang possess A-level psychic abilities?"

“You can’t calculate it that way,” Nori said. “The rarity of A-level psionics is beyond imagination! Sometimes, several world zones in a row may not produce a single A-level psionicist.”

"You seem to know a lot about this?" Gao Wen asked curiously.

“Of course,” Nori said, puffing out her chest and raising her head, “that’s the difference in our understanding between us mortals and you.”

Gawain: "..."

“Your Highness is right. Grade A psionic energy is extremely rare; we’ve never seen it before.”

"As for A-level talent, we were fortunate enough to witness it in an A-level player."

"I estimate that psychic abilities and talents have similar properties. How effective they can be depends on the user's basic qualities and the degree to which their psychic abilities are developed."

The head maid spoke on behalf of her young master: "Take myself as an example. When I was an E-level player, I was obviously not as strong as I am now when I used my talents."

"Aside from the boost from the talent level increase, another major reason is that the increased evolution rate has made my mental strength stronger. At the same time, I used my talent more often, so my proficiency naturally improved, and I developed different uses for it."

"The same level of talent can have vastly different upper and lower limits depending on who uses it!"

"Moreover, the upper and lower limits of talents of the same level are also very large. A weak D-level talent may be about the same level as an E-level talent in the face of a strong D-level talent."

"These characteristics must also exist in psionic energy."

"Indeed."

Fan Xiao suddenly interjected, agreeing with the head maid's statement.

He himself fits this pattern perfectly.

His talent doesn't concern itself with proficiency or development, because his talent is a living being with self-awareness, capable of making judgments about its surroundings and flexibly responding to all situations, leaving no room for his intervention.

Simply put, it means you've already developed a mature talent; you need to learn to find your own enemies and attack on your own...

He only needs to issue precise commands.

However, while proficiency and development cannot be enhanced, the power of talent can be increased.

As his mental strength increased, the little angel's destructive power became significantly stronger.

If he were to return to the pre-player stage with his current mental strength, he would definitely be able to achieve even greater offensive power using his talents.

Just by having the little angel carry him while he flies, he can fly several times faster than before.

Moreover, after using his talent, he will no longer fall into a state of mental fatigue and can still maintain his energy and mental activity.

Spirit influences the upper limit of talent output.

As for the level...

"Angels of Death," one of the Three Deadly Sins, is rated A.

Even today, "Angels of Death," one of the Five Deadly Sins, is still rated A.

It must be said that the upper and lower limits of talent are indeed very high.

Talent is a fragment of psionic energy.

These characteristics should also be present in psionic energy.

Based on this, even though both Dr. Zhuang and the Master of the Letter possess B-level mental energy, the former would still completely outclass the latter in terms of strength.

Of course, Fan Xiao would not underestimate his enemy.

He began to mentally treat Dr. Zhuang as an "A-level psychic enemy".

Yes, he labeled Dr. Zhuang as an enemy.

Nine years have passed, and unexpectedly, he finally managed to find some clues about his "older sister" in the dungeon.

He is now basically certain that his memory problems are definitely related to the "psychic organization" behind Dr. Zhuang!

His "sister" was either dead or had joined this organization.

Because his memories are so hazy, he is not like Gawain, who can truly feel the presence of family affection.

Therefore, his mindset at this moment is not radical or angry.

If my "sister" dies, I'll take care of her revenge someday.

If "Sister" is still alive, then find her and take revenge while you're at it.

"In addition to that, there is... S-rank psionic energy."

"My superpowers fit the description of an S-class psionic potential user. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be one of those potential users."

"It seems that Lu Baizhi also has this kind of abnormality? However, her abnormality is too similar to mine. Perhaps there is a causal connection between it and the memory that was modified in me. For now, I will retain the view that she is also a potential individual."

"I need to... find that organization. Finding out what happened to my sister is one thing, but another is that I might find a way to awaken S-class psionic power within that organization."

"My superpowers are probably just a manifestation of S-class psionic energy. I wonder what form they will evolve into after my psionic energy is fully awakened?"

While sorting out his thoughts, Fan Xiao felt a strong sense of curiosity.

Of course, he knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.

Planning now is completely pointless.

His strength is still somewhat weak, and he doesn't have a reliable backer.

Fortunately, both of these aspects are improving.

Fan Xiao suppressed his slightly agitated emotions and allowed his mind to return to calm and rationality.

He said to his four teammates, "Let's not investigate Dr. Zhuang's purpose in taking those seven psionicists away for now; it's pointless for us."

He then turned his gaze to Nori, smiled, and asked, "Does Your Highness know what a 'spacetime convergence point' is? How is it different from a spacetime node?"

"You want to know how rare S-rank psionic potential users are, right?"

Norrie countered with a question.

This is what the letter mentioned—even if you expand the search to a spacetime convergence point, you might not be able to find more than a few S-class psionic potential users.

Moreover, potential individuals are just potential individuals; their psychic abilities have not yet awakened, and truly awakening them is not so easy.

Based on this, it can be inferred that there are probably very few people in the Evolution Game who possess S-level psionic abilities.

Nori explained, "A spacetime convergence point is a collection of spacetime nodes, and spacetime nodes are collections of world partitions. Earl, do you understand now?"

“I understand,” Fan Xiao nodded. “Our current node, G08, is a convergence point in spacetime G—right?”

“As expected of the Earl,” Nori nodded with satisfaction. “Those who can keep up with my train of thought are extremely rare.”

"As expected of His Highness, in terms of cognition, he is indeed unmatched by ordinary people."

Fan Xiao nodded appreciatively.

Gawain couldn't stand their mutual flattery anymore.

"cough……!"

He coughed lightly and said, "The truth about the background of this research institute is now basically clear..."

Chapter 218 From this day forward, I shall stand at the top.

Dr. Zhuang, a player from another region, arrived in Division 007 and provided the Seventh Research Institute with the theory and plan for the "artificial psychic experiment".
