"Many, many things can become concerns when making a move."

Tina casually gave an example: "I worry about whether I've gone too far, about the consequences of killing too many powerful people, whether it will be serious enough to affect my own safety and the safety of those around me, and whether my definition of good and bad is too subjective..."

"Admittedly, these are all valid and normal concerns, but too many scattered thoughts indicate a lack of freedom of thought and a lack of a guiding belief."

"Did you hesitate before about whether or not to get rid of those powerful and influential people?"

“There is a big difference between killing only 15 people and killing only 15 people after hesitating.”

"Hmm... just pretend I hesitated."

Fan Xiao did not refute: "So, teacher, what is your standard for determining whether to kill or not?"

"You made a mistake."

Tina corrected, "We are assassins, but we are also guardians."

Guardians? What have you, a demolition genius, protected...? Fan Xiao wanted to complain, but considering the difference in strength, he chose to hold back and continue listening.

"Assassination is merely a means for us to achieve our goals."

Tina said, "The standard for whether to kill or not is not determined by us, but by what we are protecting."

"Then... what are we protecting?"

Fan Xiao asked.

He already had a pretty good idea of ​​the answer in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, the principles of the Court of Life should have some "existentialist" implications.

That is, to be people-centered and to respect people's individuality and freedom.

Beyond that, identity, wealth class, social rules and regulations... even the universe are meaningless.

If meaningless things become obstacles to people's pursuit of self-meaning, then...

Sure enough, Tina said, "The foundation of society—morality, law, faith, etc.—exists in everyone's heart and will change with time and the evolution of ideas."

"Therefore, top-down order is like an illusion and will never be stable forever."

"Order should be generated from the bottom up and is in constant flux."

"The lower realm is the foundation of civilization, but it is fragile, and we should be the guardians of that foundation."

"do you understand?"

"more or less."

Fan Xiao nodded and concluded, "All things are vanity—nobility, royalty, corporations, churches—they are all insignificant in the face of human individuality and freedom."

"All is permitted—when these empty words become a burden, a constraint, an obstacle..."

He made a gesture of reaching out and slitting his throat.

"You are very perceptive."

Tina nodded with satisfaction: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted... Hmm, that's a good summary."

"We are the designers of our own actions, and we should not have too many concerns when we act. We bear all the consequences of our actions."

"Whether it's glory or tragedy."

Hmm, it does have a touch of existentialism, but only a touch, not that extreme... Fan Xiao thought.

Within this framework, he should have no extra scruples when dealing with nobles who exploit others.

Fan Xiao admitted that he had indeed thought about many things last night, which made him feel somewhat constrained and not so free.

However, he did not accept Tina's theory entirely.

He has his own ideas and won't blindly accept other people's ideas.

You can learn from others, but you shouldn't blindly follow them.

"I know what to do, teacher."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "As a reward for a student with such good comprehension, could you give me the book you were looking at earlier?"

"Some things are better left unsaid if you know them too early."

Tina picked up her teacup and, noticing it was somewhat empty, glanced at the old butler and said, "Refill it."

The old butler nodded.

Tina glanced at Fan Xiao again and said, "His doesn't need to be continued."

"..."

Fan Xiao knew that this meant to see the guest out.

Although I miss that book, "The Power of God: A Material History".

But Tina wouldn't listen to reason, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Teacher, please continue with your work," Fan Xiao said with a smile, "I'll be going now."

……

"12 days of luck... hopefully things will improve."

After leaving the garden and returning to his room, Fan Xiao composed himself and prepared to use the luck he had accumulated.

The "Psychic Organization" is a large player organization that can exist across time and space nodes.

Since it has shown traces in the 007 and 010 partitions of the G08 node, there is a high probability that it has an organizational branch on this node.

Fan Xiao did not directly express his intention to find the branch organization.

Such a wish has a very low success rate of being fulfilled.

Even finding his "sister" was something he had tried several times with a month's worth of luck, but each time he came up empty-handed.

That's not how you make a wish.

Of course, this may also be because the 010 partition at that time was not connected to the outside world and was disconnected in time and space. It was impossible to create the causal conditions to realize the wish with just one month of luck.

Now that various worlds are connected by evolutionary games and spacetime orbits, the success rate is likely to be far greater than before.

but……

Fan Xiao still has no intention of trying it directly.

If you're not lucky, it's better to be conservative and make a vague, ambiguous wish first.

Just like before on the train, I made a promise to "let things develop in a way that is in my favor".

Because the boundaries of the wish are set in a very vague way, the range of difficulty in realizing the wish can be automatically adjusted by cause and effect.

This undoubtedly allows us to make the most efficient use of our luck.

Metaphorically speaking...

It's roughly the difference between "I want an apple" and "I want a meal".

Moreover, partition 001 is considered the central hub of node G08, so making a wish here would likely have a better effect as the cause and effect would radiate outwards.

After taking all factors into consideration, Fan Xiao took a deep breath and silently made a wish: "In the time to come, I will be able to obtain the clues I crave most."

The time is not fixed.

The content of the clues is not fixed.

The importance of clues is not fixed.

Everything is left to the 12 days of luck to measure automatically.

If he still doesn't find anything, then he'll have to temporarily stop exploring and focus his energy on the assassin assessment.

A short while later, Fan Xiao noticed that his "001 partition version phone" was vibrating.

Upon opening the caller ID, I saw it was from Lu Baizhi.

"It worked so quickly...?"

Fan Xiao was a little surprised.

As expected, Lu Baizhi and Lu Xining should have returned from the instance.

What a coincidence.

When Lu Baizhi was by his side, his success rate in doing things was undoubtedly higher.

"Bai Zhi, you're back from the dungeon?"

After answering the phone, Fan Xiao didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Yes, I just left the station and am taking a taxi to Rice Manor."

Lu Baizhi's soft voice was filled with obvious joy: "Fan Xiao, wait a moment, my sister and I will be there soon. Um, I..."

She paused slightly, then said in a somewhat hesitant tone, "I...I miss you."

"..."

Fan Xiao was a little surprised.

When did Lu Baizhi become so bold?

If his sister had said that, he would have thought it was too childish.

But my sister...

"Is your sister giving you advice?"

"What new trick is she planning this time?"

As Fan Xiao was thinking, Lu Baizhi's voice continued through the phone: "I want to go out and play later, um... Fan Xiao, can you come with me?"

“Of course,” Fan Xiao said, “I also have something to do and need to take a walk outside.”

It seems that luck is really at work... he couldn't help but think.

To obtain clues, one cannot stay at Rice Manor indefinitely, thus actively reducing the probability of one's wishes being fulfilled.

He definitely needs to go out and expand his activity range.

Before he could even bring it up, Lu Baizhi had already taken the initiative.

The gears of luck, called coincidence, are gradually meshing together.

"Oh? What a coincidence!" Lu Baizhi was a little delighted. "Then let's meet outside, Fan Xiao."

"Okay, let's go here..."

Fan Xiao reported an address.

After chatting for a few minutes, he hung up the phone and walked outside.

The fact that luck worked so quickly also proves one thing—this wish has a chance!

Fan Xiao's mood became somewhat unsettled.

However, he did not make any adjustments, letting it remain active while maintaining a considerable sense of anticipation.

Chapter 249 Fan Xiao: This business is great, it'll be mine in the next second.

As a famous tourist city, a single sea of ​​flowers is not enough to support the reputation that Roman City enjoys today.

Numerous attractions worth visiting are like jewels adorning Roman City, making it even more dazzling.

Vanshaw arrived at Erin Park, one of the iconic landmarks, by car.

This is a theme park suitable for all ages, created by combining various folk legends and artistic fables from Zone 001. It has a fairy tale style, covers an area of ​​200 hectares, and is located next to the Red Tea Street in the West District. Its magnificence can be regarded as the "window to Zone 001".

When Fan Xiao arrived at the park entrance, he looked inside and saw a dreamlike fairytale world.

The entrance has a towering roof, and a simple map not far away divides the area into four zones: Wonderland, Adventure, Journey, and Alternative.

Fan Xiao memorized this fantastical architectural style.

Picasso once said, "Good artists imitate, great artists plagiarize."

To make his "Fairy Tale Town" even more dreamlike, Fan Xiao made a last-minute decision to become a "genius artist" who transcends "excellent" and "great".

Because genius artists are smarter, they naturally skip the time-consuming and laborious process of learning, imitating, integrating, and surpassing—yes, they plan to directly copy and paste.
