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

"That's my current situation, because there are only four item slots, and all four are equipped with good items. Now another good one is coming..."

Fan Xiao looked angry: "Isn't this evolution game a bit messed up? Can't you just make people's lives a little more comfortable?"

Gawain: "..."

“Sigh,” Fan Xiao continued, “Sometimes I really envy people like you who can only get a C grade. You don’t have any of the troubles I have. That’s great.”

Damn it, this Versailles... Gawain can't take it anymore!

He questioned, "Aren't you too vengeful?"

"Holding a grudge?" Fan Xiao asked, puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb!" Gao Wen said, "Back at the research institute..."

"Alright, why explain so much? I'm not arguing with you."

Fan Xiao interrupted him, waving his hand dismissively and saying, "If you say you hold a grudge, then so be it. Whatever makes you happy."

Gawain: "..."

He's unhappy!

He is so angry!

He silently clenched his fists.

However, considering the strength Fan Xiao had previously demonstrated...

He silently loosened his fist again.

This guy has a knack for being annoying, so we must never mess with him again—Gao Wen firmly established this belief in his mind.

"Count, what good items have you acquired?"

Nori leaned closer and asked curiously.

“Your Highness, this is a matter of personal privacy.” Fan Xiao remained firm: “Everyone has to keep some cards up their sleeve, doesn’t they?”

After saying that, he took out three bottles of evolution potions and poured them into his mouth.

As his body went through a cycle of fever and then cooling down, his evolution rate began to increase, eventually reaching the limit of a D-level player.

Evolution rate: 49%

Above that is the realm of C-level players.

Speaking of C-level...

Fan Xiao recalled that he had already participated in three D-level dungeons.

Wangxiang Township, Hope Middle School, Seventh Research Institute.

He received an A-level rating in all three dungeons.

For an E-level player, after three consecutive A ratings, their player level should be ready to be upgraded.

However, the Evolution game did not provide any feedback to him.

It seems that upgrading from D-rank to C-rank will be more difficult and will require more runs of dungeons.

Fan Xiaochao asked Nori, "Does Your Highness know how many dungeons a D-rank player needs to go through to level up?"

"If you get good reviews every time, you can usually upgrade after about ten reviews."

The head maid answered on Norrie's behalf.

Fan Xiao then asked, "The evaluation is good... which of the five levels are you referring to specifically?"

"Mr. Fan, the evaluation of the dungeon is not limited to five levels."

The head maid reminded, "Although it's not explicitly stated on the player panel, the conclusion drawn from the data statistics is that the upper and lower limits of each rating are quite large."

"Take our C rating as an example. If we're being strict, we can divide it into C, C+, and C++."

"Therefore, even though they are both C-rank, there are differences in the dungeon rewards."

"The difference lies either in the quantity of potions obtained or in the strength of the items obtained."

After introducing the basic theory, she gave the answer: "From C to B, all four levels of evaluation can be considered as 'good'."

"What about A?" Fan Xiao asked. "I have a friend who always gets A in dungeons. How many runs does it take for someone like him to level up?"

"Always getting an A..."

The head maid almost couldn't hold back and asked, "Is the friend you're talking about yourself?"

She finally suppressed her urge to complain and replied, "This situation is too rare. I don't know the answer either, but... it probably won't be more than 6 times, maybe 5 times."

Chapter 222 A future without a future is not the future I want.

Five times, or six times—Fan Xiao noted down the data, then calmed himself down.

There are many benefits to leveling up as a player.

The most obvious benefit is that you will get a chance to upgrade your talent, and you will be able to obtain higher-level items and potions from the dungeon rewards.

Fan Xiao decided that once he finished what he was doing, he would become an emotionless dungeon-farming machine and try to level up to C-rank in one go.

At this moment, Gawain suddenly extended an invitation: "By the way... are you in a hurry to return to your own division? If not, we can go directly out from this side of the instance. I'll treat you to a meal. There are many places worth visiting in Division 007. It would be a pity to miss them."

"I'll pass, I have other things to take care of."

Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "Seven days have passed in the instance. I wonder how much time has passed in the 001 section."

"I have some things to take care of over there, so I need to go back and check on the situation."

"Next time, definitely next time."

He wasn't lying here.

Mercury and Luo Hao, the two Special Affairs Bureau players who teamed up with him in the previous instance "Hope Middle School", should go to Roman City to find Jinna, get his contact information, and then come to find him.

Both of them treated him as an unofficial member of the Special Affairs Bureau, and if they needed help with obtaining fantasy materials, they probably wouldn't be polite to him.

After all, they are all "colleagues" who are carrying out the same task.

Of course, Fan Xiao does not reject this point.

Establishing a safe zone in your own world partition as early as possible is a good thing that can benefit your family, so it's very important.

Coincidentally, the beautiful saintess of the Heavenly Righteous Cult promised to sell him a batch of fantasy materials at a low price.

He had to inform the Special Affairs Bureau about this as soon as possible, lest they go elsewhere and waste money, suffering serious financial losses.

In addition, he had to wait in Roman City for the saint's "summons for a rendezvous".

A date—that was the condition the saint offered in the deal.

Although it sounded like a joke, he couldn't take it as a joke.

Regardless of the saintess's motives, if she looks for him and he remains unavailable for a long time... there's a possibility she might change her mind.

Both of these things urged him to return to Roman City as soon as possible.

"If something comes up, then let's just forget about it."

Gao Wenchao and Fan Xiao nodded.

He actually wanted to get revenge on Fan Xiao for his previous annoyance, so he said directly, "I didn't invite you, why are you refusing? Don't be so presumptuous."

but……

If he really said that, Fan Xiao, who is petty and vengeful, would probably go after him and make him so disgusted that he would become withdrawn... It's better not to mess with someone with such a high IQ.

Gawain turned his head to look at Nori and the other two, and asked, "What about you?"

"As a mortal, you are quite polite, which is commendable."

Nori started off with her characteristic childishness, first offering a critique before politely declining, "But you still haven't truly understood yourself, mortal."

"As a member of the noble Dark Alliance, there are too many things in this world waiting for me to accomplish. How precious is my time?"

"Playing? I've long since moved beyond such low-level interests."

"Mortal, I appreciate your kindness."

Gawain: "..."

Well, he shouldn't have asked this girl who seems to have something wrong with her head.

"Since we both have things to do, let's part ways here."

Gao Wen pointed in the direction of the mountains and forests: "I won't go to the station. I'll leave from here. Hope we meet again someday."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the mountains and forests, leaving decisively.

Although the instance is closed, the monster blockade still blocks the Seventh Research Institute, and no one can get in.

Even if you get inside, you can't take away the memory badge, which is an exclusive item for the instance.

Gao Wen was well aware of this, so he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​taking his sister's name tag and burying her elsewhere.

Burial is a way of remembering the deceased; the key lies in the intention behind it.

What is used to bury the sister is not important.

If a separate funeral is to be held, even if the name tag cannot be taken with him, he can use the recovered memory fragments as a blueprint to have someone draw a portrait of his sister or sculpt a statue as a symbol for her burial.

Let the name tag that carries my sister's painful memories remain in this research institute forever.

Only by leaving the pain in the past can we move forward more effectively.

Gao Wen did not turn around.

His figure gradually disappeared from the four people's sight.

"Let's go too."

After Gao Wen left, Fan Xiao took out the time-travel ticket.

In casual conversations over the past few days, he had already given Gao Wen his contact information for sections 001 and 010.

They have similar experiences and may become comrades-in-arms in the future to fight against the organization behind Dr. Zhuang.

Of course, such things depend on fate, and Fan Xiao did not force it.

After activating the return ticket, he disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Nori and the other two also took out their time travel tickets and used them.

Soon, their figures also disappeared.

The area in front of the Seventh Research Institute instantly fell silent.

A desolate atmosphere enveloped the place once again.

Inside the research institute, the psionic monsters quietly awaited the arrival of the next batch of players, awaiting a new cycle.

They are remnants of history.

They will repeat the past here, again and again.

Scientific research lacking ethical support is like a sharp weapon, cutting off the path forward for the Seventh Research Institute.

There is only the past here, no future.

……

For the return trip of the time-travel ticket, there are two options.

You can choose to return directly to your home partition, or you can choose to return to the partition where you started before entering the instance.

Very convenient.

Because he had business to attend to in Roman City, Van Shaw chose the latter option.

Now is not the time to return to the 010 partition.

After boarding the time-travel train, he and the other two found a corner to sit in.

They pressed the call button to summon a flight attendant, and all four of them ordered cold drinks.

While waiting, Fan Xiao looked out the window and began to think about things related to S-level psionic energy.

Tina...do you know about S-class psionic abilities?
