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

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Let's end it here for tonight. Get some sleep, Xi Ning."

"Um……"

Meeting Fan Xiaorou's gentle gaze, and seemingly sensing the care in his eyes, Lu Xining felt a sense of comfort that filled her heart... she meant her soul.

She gave a soft "hmm," made no further requests, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

……

After returning to his room, Yan Keke's voice rang in Fan Xiao's ears: "Sister Lu...so bold, so amazing, so knowledgeable, and so decisive."

She was quite familiar with Lu Xining.

Back in Wangxiang Town, she attached herself to Lu Xining.

Both sides had experienced each other's feelings at the time.

“Coco,” Fan Xiao reminded the little girl, “Next time I open the random entrance, if you see Sister Lu again, go back to Fairy Tale Town first, and don’t follow her bad influences.”

"Back to Fairy Tale Town..."

Yan Keke seemed to be deep in thought.

Is Brother Fan trying to get rid of her?

Probably not?

"that……"

Yan Keke subtly reminded him, "Brother Fan, actually... actually I'm quite old, it's just... it just looks young."

"Why are you bringing this up?" Fan Xiao asked with a smile. "What are you trying to say?"

"Well……"

"See, that's just a child's reaction."

Fan Xiao stroked her hair and said, "You have indeed existed for a long time. If we only consider age, you and the other children are all around twenty years old, not much different from me."

"The form of the spiritual body is influenced to some extent by self-consciousness and is determined by consciousness, which is the so-called appearance arising from the mind."

"Coco, have you ever wondered why you've always maintained the form of a child?"

“This…” Yan Keke shook her head: “I don’t know either, I… I really want to grow up.”

"It's probably because your 'heart' hasn't grown up yet."

Fan Xiao said, "Whether it's you or the other children, you're all living in a completely closed mental world, constantly repeating what has already happened."

“There is an interesting theory that says memory is the carrier of the self, the self… also known as the ‘mind’, and memory is made up of all the big and small things we experience.”

“Although you have all existed for a long time, you have never had contact with the outside world and have been repeating a monotonous cycle. How can you build mature memories and cultivate a mature ‘self’?”

He withdrew his hand from the girl's hair and said with emotion, "You are like blank sheets of paper, your lives have just begun, and you have a long way to go before you grow up."

"So go and experience more. Although you can't directly interact or contact the outside world, players keep coming into Fairy Tale Town, so it can be considered a small society."

"When the Fairy Tale Town becomes more spacious in the future, it might become equivalent to a world, and then there won't be much difference between the instance and the outside world."

"As for now..."

Meeting Yan Keke's gaze, Fan Xiao tapped her on the head: "Don't bring up age when you're just a kid."

"Well……"

Yan Keke was somewhat unconvinced.

But I don't know how to refute it.

Seeing the girl's reaction, Fan Xiao felt slightly relieved... He should have managed to fool her... and convince her, right?

His theory is actually sound.

However, theory is ultimately just theory, and there is a slight difference between it and reality.

Yan Keke and the others are indeed considered lolis, both psychologically and physically.

However, they are somewhat different from true lolis.

The passage of time is not meaningless; they are slightly more "mature" than other children.

This is a major problem that cannot be ignored!

Children don't think about gender issues, but mature children... well, that's another story.

It's not a big deal if Yan Keke goes astray by following Lu Xining; he can handle it.

But if the remaining 35 little girls in Fairy Tale Town all go astray... he figured that someone as upright as himself wouldn't dare to open random portals so easily anymore.

No, that's not right... Yan Keke can't go astray.

And you absolutely must not learn bad habits!

Because she can influence those connected to her...

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao started to "PUA" Yan Keke again, saying, "Okay, stop thinking nonsense. Children can't understand complicated things. Just listen to it."

"Um... I always feel like Brother Fan is looking down on me..."

Yan Keke's tone rarely showed any sign of defiance.

"Not bad," Fan Xiao praised, "You've learned to talk back; it seems you've grown a bit."

"Um... I wasn't talking back, Brother Fan, don't misunderstand..."

Yan Keke began to be cautious.

Is she worried that she's getting too carried away?

“I told you not to overthink it,” Fan Xiao said. “It’s late, go back and rest.”

"that……"

Yan Keke asked hopefully, "Brother Fan, can I...can I stay?"

"..."

Fan Xiao quickly considered the situation in his mind—if I refuse her, will she misunderstand? And if I maintain the attitude of an elder, she should be influenced by this atmosphere and less likely to overthink things, right?

Thinking of this, he nodded very naturally and said in a joking tone, "Coco, it seems you're still a long way from growing up. Only little kids cling to adults and sleep all the time."

"Then... I'll grow up later."

Yan Keke came up with a compromise strategy.

After saying that, she took off her shoes and socks, snuggled up next to Fan Xiao, hugged Fan Xiao's arm, and fell asleep peacefully.

……

the next morning.

After breakfast, Fan Xiao took Lu Xining and Lu Baizhi in a welcome car from Rice Manor to the flower sea, where they admired the vast expanse of pansies that seemed to connect with the starry sky.

Both sisters were somewhat overwhelmed by the scenery that combined beauty and grandeur.

The three found a spot to take commemorative photos, stood in the sea of ​​flowers, and had someone else mark their visit.

Lu Xining took a couple photo with Fan Xiao, and then took a couple photo with her younger sister, doing it flawlessly.

Seeing this, Lu Baizhi looked at Fan Xiao, hesitating whether or not to speak.

Fan Xiao noticed the girl's shyness and took the initiative to take a photo with her, leaving no regrets.

It was already 11 a.m. when we left the sea of ​​flowers.

“We have to go,” Lu Xining said to Fan Xiao. “We can’t really enter the dungeon at the exact moment, as it’s easy for unexpected things to happen and cause delays. We need to allow enough compatibility time. Now is the perfect time to leave.”

“Okay,” Fan Xiao nodded, reminding him, “Finish your makeup before you leave, and keep a low profile on the street. Especially you…”

He stared at Lu Xining's legs and black stockings and said, "Don't dress so seductively."

“Mm.” Lu Xining nodded.

Is Fan Xiao jealous...? She wondered uncertainly.

"Fan Xiao, we're leaving first," Lu Baizhi said. "After we come out of the dungeon, we'll... uh, this seems like a flag?"

She quickly stopped talking.

"It's true that we need to be auspicious before setting off; we can't make any rash promises. However..."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Bai Zhi, there's nothing to be ashamed of about what you say. I trust you the most."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Being trusted so much... Lu Baizhi felt a little embarrassed.

After reapplying their makeup and changing their clothes to make themselves look inconspicuous, the two sisters temporarily bid farewell to Fan Xiao and used their tickets to head to the station in Roman City.

As long as the time-travel ticket is not invalidated, it can be used normally. Even if you miss your stop on the "outbound" journey, you can still use the ticket to get back.

Soon, the time-travel train arrived at its destination.

After boarding the train and finding a seat, take your seat.

Lu Baizhi called over a flight attendant and ordered a hot drink for herself and her sister.

Before the hot drinks were served, she asked her sister, "Sister, what did Fan Xiao do in your room last night?"

"..." Lu Xining: "How did you know?"

The guest rooms at the Rice Manor are equipped with private bathrooms, and the walls are very soundproof—she tested it and couldn't hear anything from the next room.

Even if my sister gets up to use the bathroom at night, she shouldn't find anything.

Even if you're lucky... you still have to follow the basic law, right?

“Yesterday afternoon when we were touring the manor, a small accessory on my hair fell off, and I didn’t notice it until the evening.”

Lu Baizhi explained, "Then I tossed a coin to test where the trinkets had landed. When it was the garden's turn, the coin landed heads, so I went out to look for them."

"After we found it, just as we were about to go back, I saw Fan Xiao through the window from a distance... Fan Xiao went into your room, sister, and then came out again a little while later."

...This is acceptable?

Lu Xining felt a sense of admiration and asked, "Is it really necessary to be so concerned about a small hair accessory?"

“That hair accessory was a birthday present you gave me, sister!” Lu Baizhi said earnestly, “I can’t lose it, I must find it if I lose it.”

She paused, then asked again, "Um... what were you doing last night?"

She was simply curious and didn't think much of it.

After all, Fan Xiao's time inside was very short.

She had seen... she had seen some study materials about... things that are indescribable.

It takes a long time; it can't be that short.

So it's definitely not.

"Given Fan Xiao's trust in you, there's nothing wrong with revealing this to you. Just don't tell anyone else."

Lu Xining replied, "We did an experiment last night, testing Fan Xiao's new ability."

She recounted the first half of her experience last night.

"So it's experimental ability..." Lu Baizhi said, "I can also cooperate in experiments. Fan Xiao... seems to be too polite to me?"

In her mind, she, who had "lived with" Fan Xiao the longest, should be the first one to seek help from him.

How come it seems that Fan Xiao and her sister's relationship has gotten better and better without them even realizing it?

She felt a little envious.

After staring at her sister for a few seconds, Lu Xining suddenly said, "Because you are too polite, that's why he is polite to you too."

"……Have it?"

Lu Baizhi asked suspiciously.

“Many people are polite to strangers, but can be short-tempered and irritable with their family.” Lu Xining asked, “Do you think there’s something wrong with these kinds of people?”

"It sounds... a bit like that. But I don't think it's true."

Lu Baizhi said uncertainly.
