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

Considering her status as a super gamer, she must have a wide range of knowledge and shouldn't be unaware of this—this is a assumption and may not be accurate.

Fan Xiao first assumed in his mind that this speculation was accurate, and then led to the next question—did Tina know that he was an S-class psychic potential user?

This is a rather intriguing question.

If Tina knew this, she wouldn't have any reservations when talking to her in the future.

If she doesn't know... then you should never mention this topic in front of her again, lest she find out something.

"I think I missed some details?"

Fan Xiao felt a strange sense of unease and quickly sorted out his thoughts.

Soon, he remembered something—Nori had chatted with him in the dungeon before about the difference between S-rank psionic energy and ordinary psionic energy.

Based on his own experience, he gave an answer that might be one of the differences—the scope of influence.

As a superpower that is a precursor to S-class psionic abilities—controlling luck—its influence extends across world zones.

Other psionic abilities, such as Yan Keke's "Delusion Kingdom," even if they reach a level of A, have a very limited range of influence in the early stages after awakening.

If the range really is one of the differences... Tina must have noticed his abnormality long ago based on her experience on "Sacrifice Island".

As a super player, the probability that Tina was unaware of the characteristic that "S-class psionic energy has a wide range of influence" is very small.

In other words, this guy knows it perfectly well!

Even after she saw through his act, she still pretended to be aloof... Just as Nori said, she's quite the actor.

"We really can't be careless at all."

Fan Xiao sighed inwardly.

Of course, his inner complaints did not affect his outward respect.

Upon returning to Roman City, besides dealing with the fantasy matter and the saintess's date, he also had to diligently complete his assassin assessment.

And another very important thing—investigating intelligence about the organization behind Dr. Zhuang.

It's about gathering intelligence, not directly making a wish to find "the older sister".

He had made a wish through luck a long time ago, but it came to nothing.

Either this "sister" is already dead.

Or... she's too far away from him, and finding her would be beyond the reach of a month's worth of luck.

Since the Evolution Game came along, accumulating luck has become much more difficult for him than before.

A month's worth of luck is no longer like it used to be, where you could accumulate it by experiencing a few criminal cases.

Now, if you're trying to accumulate good luck, you'll either encounter ruthless players, get caught up in large-scale events caused by players, or be directly dragged into dangerous random dungeons.

The risk level has increased dramatically.

In short, it's not easy to accumulate a lot of luck.

If you take it and make a wish to find "the older sister" but don't get the result, it will be a waste of time and energy.

The best approach is to treat this as a phased task and break it down into several steps to complete.

The first step is to find clues about the "organization" and then slowly follow the trail.

"Finding clues can rely on luck, but I only have eight days of luck right now, which may not be enough. Just to be on the safe side, I need to accumulate a little more."

"While accumulating good luck, use the unlucky attribute to find events suitable for the assassin assessment, killing two birds with one stone."

Fan Xiao gradually finalized the plan.

At this moment, the flight attendant brought over the cold drinks and desserts they had ordered.

Nori ordered the dessert.

The little girl picked up a spoon and took a bite. Stimulated by the taste, an innocent and adorable expression appeared on her face.

After Fan Xiao waited for her to finish enjoying the dessert as if on a pilgrimage, he asked with a smile, "Would Your Highness like another serving? It's on me."

“Okay!” Nori said brightly. “This time I want to try something different.”

Fan Xiao pressed the button to call the flight attendant, who ordered another meal for her. Then he asked, "Speaking of which, what is Your Highness's identity in reality?"

Chapter 223 Don’t be lustful

"My identity in real life..."

Perhaps out of a sense of obligation to those who have taken advantage of her, Nori hesitated for a moment before revealing, "I am a member of the Campbell family."

Upon hearing this, the head maid and the head guard both glanced at Nori, but neither of them stepped forward to stop her.

His Highness's identity is currently confidential and cannot be revealed to the general public to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

But Fan Xiao is no ordinary person.

He has both ability and background, making him a very worthwhile person to befriend.

There was nothing wrong with revealing my identity to him.

The head maid silently took out a soundproofing item, activated it, and created a soundproof barrier to prevent other players in the carriage from hearing their conversation.

Players of high status will certainly have plenty of good items—this is a basic understanding.

Private duels are not prohibited on the Time Train, but if a greedy player gets the wrong idea, things will get very troublesome.

Although they are not afraid of trouble, they will not actively seek it out.

It's always good to be cautious.

Fan Xiao noticed the head maid's movements.

However, he didn't pay much attention and continued to ask Nori, "The Campbell family? A noble family from Division 001?"

"...Count, you don't know?"

Nori exclaimed in surprise, "That's common knowledge in Division 001."

“I haven’t been in Roman City long,” Fan Xiao said with a smile. “Your Highness can think of me as a naive newcomer. Is the Campbell family very famous?”

At this moment, the head maid spoke on behalf of Norley: "The Campbell family is the royal family of Division 001."

"The royal family..."

Fan Xiao was slightly surprised.

Since the arrival of the Evolution Game, the political structure of Division 001 has undergone a change.

The current royal family has only a symbolic role and no longer possesses the real power to rule as it did in the past.

However, the power wielded by the royal family should not be underestimated.

This was information he had heard from Li Jian.

"So the title 'Your Highness' is genuine after all."

Fan Xiao quickly composed himself, looked at Nori, and smiled, "I didn't expect you to actually be a princess."

“Count, worldly status is meaningless to beings like us.”

Nori said nonchalantly, "As a fellow member of the Dark Alliance, Earl, you shouldn't be unaware of your true identity."

"Yes, Your Highness is right."

Fan Xiao nodded and said seriously, "How can a mere princess compare to the Evil King's True Eye?"

"To focus on the former and neglect our true identity by abandoning the essential and pursuing the trivial... I have been impolite."

“Yes, yes,” Nori nodded emphatically, “You understand me best, Earl.”

"Of course, we are allies. And allies aren't just called that for nothing."

After coaxing Nolly for a while, Fan Xiao turned to the head maid and asked, "Aren't you worried about being exposed by addressing her as 'Your Highness' so often?"

"Players entering the dungeon come from different zones. Since everyone is so far apart, they will basically not have any interaction. Even if they guess it, it doesn't matter."

The head maid didn't dwell on Fan Xiao's awkward remarks, and responded normally: "Besides, Princess Nori's personality... well, most people wouldn't suspect anything if they heard us call her that."

"Maid, what do you mean?"

Nori looked displeased: "What's wrong with my personality?"

"Very individualistic, very unconventional, not on the same level or in the same realm as ordinary people."

The head maid blatantly lied, saying, "So even if we address you as Your Highness, it won't seem out of place at all, and it won't reveal your true identity."

"Hmm, looks like you're pretty good at it."

Nori nodded, then reminded her, "Watch your words next time, or I'll make you wear one of those maid outfits that's been trending online lately."

"Please don't do that, Your Highness!"

The maid suddenly said in a very serious tone and expression, "That kind of thing doesn't deserve to be called a maid outfit at all! It's called erotic clothing, used to seduce men, and it's a disgrace to the sacred profession of maid."

"Uh...is the maid profession sacred?"

Nori was somewhat overwhelmed by the head maid's imposing manner.

“Of course,” the head maid said, “It seems His Highness still lacks knowledge in this area. When we return, we will…”

"Stop, halt! I don't want to hear it."

Nori quickly waved her hand and tried to threaten, "If you keep giving me a long-winded explanation of science, I'm really going to punish you."

"...As you wish."

The head maid wisely kept quiet.

Across from her, Fan Xiao took a sip of his cold drink and posed another question to Nori: "Your Highness is familiar with the Heavenly Righteous Church, isn't she?"

"The Heavenly Righteous Sect? That sounds familiar. I grew up listening to the myths and fables in their scriptures."

Nori raised her hand and made the sign of the cross on her chest: "How about it, Earl, do I look like a believer?"

"Your Highness is not religious?"

“Count, you’ve asked a rather unwise question.”

Norrie wore a slightly proud expression and said, "We, the Dark Alliance, are enemies of the gods, and have been at war with each other for thousands of years. As one of the leaders of the alliance, how could I possibly contribute my faith to the enemy... Wait! Earl, you wouldn't happen to be a believer, would you?"

"Do you think I look like it?" Fan Xiao asked rhetorically.

“It doesn’t seem like it,” Nori said. “So, is it or isn’t it?”

She started to take things seriously in strange places.

“No,” Fan Xiao said with a smile, “I mentioned the Celestial Church just to ask about the current situation of the church. A friend of mine told me… that the church seems to be in a bit of trouble lately?”

“I haven’t really looked into it,” Nori said suspiciously. “Is there?”

"Your Highness, there is indeed some chaos within the church at present."

The head maid said, "I heard that several candidates for pope are vying for power and resources, and many nobles have been dragged into it... No, they can't really be considered dragged into it; they basically entered the fray on their own initiative, hoping to get a share of the spoils."

"Pope, the candidate..."

Fan Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.

The head maid's words corresponded with the information the saintess had previously given him.

This proves that the saintess did not lie to him.

"Is the Saintess also a candidate?" Fan Xiao asked.

"...So that's what Mr. Fan cares about. No wonder he suddenly mentioned the church."

The head maid gave her an "I understand" look.

“Countess,” Nori frowned, “being obsessed with beauty is a big no-no. Don’t be like those mortals and go astray.”

Fan Xiao: "..."

"The saintess is indeed one of the candidates, but she is in a relatively disadvantageous position."

The head maid said, "The other candidate is from the main branch of the Roman family, so his identity is more legitimate and he has more supporters."

"Of course, who will become pope in the end is still unknown until the result is announced."

The saintess is in a vulnerable position... no wonder she wants to win over Tina.
