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

“It is indeed a bit sticky,” Fan Xiao nodded, “on the right corner of the mouth.”

Lu Baizhi touched the side of her face, looking slightly troubled, and said, "Um... I can't see where it is, it's not good... not good to clean up, could you help me wipe it?"

"..."

Fan Xiao noticed the girl's flushed cheeks, but didn't say anything: "Okay, don't move."

He opened the pack of wet wipes on the table and took one out.

At this moment, Lu Baizhi nervously gripped her skirt with both hands, tilted her head slightly towards Fan Xiao, held her breath, closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she wanted to open her eyes to peek, but dared not look.

It was the posture of a shy little girl asking for a kiss.

They look so cute, it's like a piece of honey melting in your heart, making you want to immerse yourself in this sweet atmosphere and kiss those soft, cherry-colored lips.

"..."

Fan Xiao steadied the girl's cheeks and gently wiped the food from the corners of her mouth with a wet wipe.

When touched, Lu Baizhi's body trembled slightly.

At this moment, Lu Xining, who was sitting opposite, suddenly stood up, leaned over, put one hand on the table, and brought the other hand close to Lu Baizhi's cheek, lightly touching her sister's lips with her finger.

Then, she quickly sat back down, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Baizhi's body stiffened instantly, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

"..." Fan Xiao: "Okay, Gardenia."

"Um……"

Lu Baizhi opened her eyes, met Fan Xiao's gaze, and immediately looked away in embarrassment, silently continuing to eat her meal without daring to speak.

Fan Xiaochao glanced at Lu Xining, casting an inquiring look at him.

Lu Xining focused on eating and pretended not to see it.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao had no choice but to give up pursuing the matter for now and decided to discuss it again that evening.

Throughout the meal, Lu Baizhi would steal glances at Fan Xiao every now and then.

Every time she sneaked a glance, she would subconsciously purse her lips, keeping her cheeks rosy throughout.

Fan Xiao... is so proactive.

They actually... directly... directly...

At the same time, Fan Xiao's attention was quickly diverted from this matter.

Because four people sat down at the next table, seemingly two middle-aged couples, and they started discussing a topic that bothered him.

"Sigh, I told you before, never marry a gamer!"

A woman wearing a small soft hat said, "Look, that's old Hayden's eldest daughter. Her husband went to the dungeon last time and hasn't come back. It's been over a month. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be..."

"Alright, stop guessing."

The man sitting next to the woman stopped her, saying, "Maybe she's just delayed by something in another district. She might be back in a few days."

"Do you think that's possible?"

The woman shook her head and said, "It's a pity for their son. He's only 13 years old. His father had an accident, and his mother is bedridden in the hospital. Her illness... I guess she won't last much longer."

"Old Hayden has never liked his grandson, so he probably won't care about this matter. That child...maybe he'll be sent to a nearby orphanage after a while."

"Orphanage...the only orphanage around there is in Ceylon, right?"

Another middle-aged woman frowned slightly and said, "Ceylon seems to be in a bad state... I've only heard about it; there have been rumors of people going missing in Ceylon before."

"Why bother with all this?" the woman's husband replied. "Old Hayden himself doesn't want to care, so why are you making such a fuss?"

"Old Chen! Can't you have some compassion?" the woman said discontentedly. "That child is a classmate of our daughter."

"Alright, alright, why are you arguing?"

The woman wearing a soft hat tried to smooth things over, saying, "We're here to have fun. Arguing will ruin our mood. Let's order quickly. After we finish eating, we can go check out the adventure area. I heard it's the most lively place there."

"Yeah, what's there to argue about?"

The woman in the soft hat's husband chimed in, "We can only talk about it behind her back. We're not related, and we won't actually help her. There's nothing to argue about. Let's order first."

Upon hearing this, another couple stopped arguing.

The four of them changed the subject and started chatting casually.

On the other side, Fan Xiao withdrew his attention, his eyes thoughtful.

It was just an ordinary conversation, but the words "children," "orphanage," and "missing person" caught his attention when put together.

I have a feeling of déjà vu.

"Could this be a clue?"

Fan Xiao felt somewhat uncertain.

However, he still remembered the name "Ceylon Welfare Institute" and planned to go there to investigate it today or tomorrow.

Chapter 250 I really want to hang you all on the streetlights

"what happened?"

The perceptive Lu Xining noticed that Fan Xiao was distracted during the meal and couldn't help but ask him a question.

“The Ceylon Welfare Home,” Van Chau said, “I might have to go there this afternoon.”

"An orphanage?" Lu Xining asked疑惑地问道, "What are you going there for?"

Lu Baizhi, who was standing to the side, also looked over curiously.

Because she had been glancing at Fan Xiao, she had noticed that he had been distracted earlier.

However, she was a little hesitant to ask anything now.

Every time her lips moved, she would recall the sensation on her lips, her attention completely focused on savoring it, and a feeling of shame would surge within her.

Lu Baizhi, why did you close your eyes just now... Lu Baizhi scolded herself in her heart.

I wish I could have seen that scene with my own eyes.

“I’m investigating something,” Van Shaw said. “It’s a personal matter of mine.”

"Personal matters..."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Xining did not press the matter further.

Since they've emphasized that it's a private matter, it proves that Fan Xiao has no intention of revealing it for the time being.

She simply suggested, "If the investigation is difficult, you can have Zhi Zi accompany you; you might get some unexpected results."

"elder sister……"

Lu Baizhi was a little touched.

My older sister was so nice to her today, she gave her so much support...

“You know that Zhi Zi isn’t very bright,” Lu Xining continued, “With your intelligence, as long as you don’t want to reveal it, even if you let her go through the whole process with you, you probably won’t expose your purpose to her.”

"..." Lu Baizhi: "Sister!"

"Don't say that."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Zhi Zi is very smart. The difference between her and you is that you have different values ​​and perspectives, so you will consider problems from different angles."

"Are you saying I have warped values?" Lu Xining asked.

“We’re pretty much the same,” Fan Xiao shrugged. “Why would I criticize myself for having warped values?”

"that……"

Lu Baizhi said a little shyly, "I feel... I feel like you guys are praising me?"

“You heard me right,” Fan Xiao laughed, “I’m praising you.”

A person's intelligence depends on the degree of brain development.

Even if Lu Baizhi was a fool before, starting from the age of 9 when she received good luck, her brain will definitely be affected by this exaggerated luck and grow to the brain state corresponding to intelligence.

Luck that exceeds limits and is visible to the naked eye is just that unreasonable.

but……

Being intelligent and having great wisdom are two different things.

The most relatable example, in Fan Xiao's opinion, is probably Superman from American comics.

Superman, who possesses a "super brain," is often outmaneuvered and seems to be perpetually outwitted in terms of intelligence. He can't shake off the label of being brave but reckless, which is completely unworthy of the "super brain" setting.

Why does a superhuman with unparalleled learning and calculation abilities perform so poorly?

From a rational perspective, it can only be because he was too kind-hearted and therefore had no awareness of the need for scheming and plotting.

This isn't a matter of intelligence, but rather a matter of personality; he simply wouldn't actively think about these things in the first place.

Once he starts thinking about it, he's no longer Superman.

Lu Baizhi was probably in this state.

Due to their personality, they don't actively consider unfriendly things.

For example, when going out with him, pay attention to him, observe what he does, and deduce his purpose from the details—this is something a young girl can do, but she won't think to do.

This personality type is not suitable for evolution games.

Because it was very easy to send.

But that doesn't mean this personality is bad; what's bad is the evolution game itself.

Fortunately, Lu Baizhi was incredibly lucky, to an extent beyond reason.

In this situation, she doesn't need to learn any tricks or schemes to force herself to "grow up".

Simple people are always the happiest.

Fan Xiao felt that it was better for Lu Baizhi to maintain the status quo.

You mustn't follow your sister's bad habits.

"Thank you," Lu Baizhi smiled and said, "I will do my best to help."

“I do need your help with something, but… forget about the Ceylon Welfare Home, I’ll have to go there myself.”

Fan Xiao shook his head slightly, indicating his refusal.

Seeing this, Lu Xining asked on behalf of her sister, "Is there any danger?"

“You’re quite perceptive,” Van Shaw said. “It may be, or it may not.”

It's still unclear whether the Ceylon welfare home is related to that organization.

Even if it is related, it doesn't necessarily mean there is danger.

Given how sophisticated the 001 district is, he doesn't believe that any organization would dare to conduct such an experiment so openly in the city.

Overall, the risk is still very small.

However... he still couldn't take Lu Baizhi with him on the adventure.

The level of that organization is different, and Lu Baizhi's luck has its limits. If she runs into a high-level player, it might not be effective.

"Then you go by yourself, we won't get involved."

Lu Xining nodded.

It wasn't that she was afraid.

Fan Xiao was aware of their strength and ability. Under these circumstances, his unwillingness to bring "Fuxinglu Baizhi" along meant either that he wanted to completely conceal the incident he was investigating and not reveal any information, or that... this matter was so dangerous that he was only confident in protecting himself and had no energy left to take care of his teammates.

"No rush, let's not talk about that now," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "We still have plenty of time, let's finish exploring Eileen Park first, we can't let the ticket money go to waste."

"Won't this bother you, Fan Xiao?" Lu Baizhi said considerately. "Eileen Park seems quite large, and you have to go to the orphanage this afternoon."

"If we can't go this afternoon, we'll go tomorrow."

Fan Xiao said casually, "There are no restrictions in this regard. I have plenty of time, so don't worry."

We've already waited nine years, so what's a little more time?
