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

"No restrictions...that's good."

Lu Baizhi nodded and then asked, "By the way... Fan Xiao, you... you said there was something you needed my help with? What exactly?"

“Same as before,” Fan Xiao laughed, “I may need to hire you for a while longer, which will delay your participation in the dungeon.”

"It's alright, just ask. It won't take any time."

Lu Baizhi looked delighted, patted her dazzling chest, and said, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to level up my player level right now."

"You'd better be a little more eager."

Lu Xining suddenly said, "He levels up very quickly, while your speed is average. If you have the same sense of time as him, you will fall behind sooner or later."

"Once the gap becomes too large, he will abandon you after taking advantage of you."

"Please don't misuse idioms, thank you."

Fan Xiao said calmly.

However, after noticing Lu Baizhi's somewhat flustered eyes, he couldn't calm down.

Seriously... you can believe this?

And your reaction... it's like I've already done something to you?

Uh... it seems we really did do it—we "kissed".

Lu Baizhi is a total homebody who spends all her time surfing the internet, but her thinking seems... rather conservative?

Could she be the type who believes that once you've kissed someone, you have to take responsibility?

While pondering unrelated questions, Fan Xiao ate the rest of his meal.

After lunch, he took the two sisters to explore the remaining three areas of Erin Park.

All three were D-level players, full of energy and vitality. Even after walking for half a day, they did not experience much physical exertion.

5:00 PM.

Vanshaw sent the two sisters to Rice Estate.

With Tina's approval, he now has some control over the manor.

For minor matters like hosting a few friends and letting them stay overnight, he could make his own decisions, and his teacher Tina couldn't be bothered to interfere.

As long as you don't invite anyone who would annoy Tina, it's fine.

After instructing the maid to take the two sisters to their guest rooms, Fan Xiao drove off in one of the manor's cars to his destination.

The car, equipped with advanced autonomous driving technology, proactively planned the best route for him and quickly drove away from the neighborhood where the manor was located.

……

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

On his way to the Ceylon Welfare Home, Fan Xiao took out his phone and searched for information about the welfare home on the public network of Zone 001.

To his surprise, the Ceylon Welfare Home was actually a welfare home built with funds from the Theistic Church, mainly for the care of orphans and disabled children.

While living in the welfare home, these children are exposed to the doctrines and baptisms of the Tianzheng Church. When they reach a certain age, they are arranged to study at religious schools funded by the Tianzheng Church.

Therefore, many of these children become church staff members when they grow up.

Those with good abilities have the opportunity to be elected as priests and become the head of a church.

The church is not necessarily in Roman City.

The Tianzheng Church has a large influence, with roots in multiple megacities in Zone 001, and its churches are located throughout various regions.

However, in Roman City, the "place where it made its fortune," the Church's network of influence is the best managed, and it is showing signs of surpassing the royal family, nobles, and major financial groups.

"The Heavenly Righteous Sect..."

Fan Xiao frowned.

The possible leads being investigated are linked to the church... This doesn't seem like a good sign.

As a young man who grew up under the red flag, he not only had little affection for the royal family, nobles, conglomerates, churches, and other forces in Division 001, but he even wanted to pick up a sickle and hammer and hang them all on streetlights... Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

However, the innate level of favorability is definitely very low.

but……

Because of the great help that Saint Qiu Yue had given them, his goodwill toward the church increased significantly.

There's no way around it; once you become a beneficiary, your interests inevitably become skewed.

If possible, he doesn't want to have any disputes with people in the church.

It would be bad if we accidentally ruined this hard-won... hard-won friendly diplomatic relationship.

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

Fan Xiao temporarily gathered his scattered thoughts.

About half an hour later, the car arrived at Hongcha Street in the West District.

Fan Xiao parked the car at a tollbooth, then summoned his instanced environment, changed his appearance, and walked towards the Ceylon Welfare Home, which was still some distance away.

Chapter 251 explains what sincerity is.

The Ceylon Welfare Home is some distance from the bustling tea street, and is located in what is roughly the suburbs, so there are noticeably fewer pedestrians around.

Its architectural style is quite nostalgic, or rather, it has existed for a long time and its style has not been changed during renovations, thus exuding a rich historical flavor.

"Is this the orphanage? This is the first time I've ever seen one."

Yan Keke curiously looked behind the open gate of the Ceylon Welfare Home.

The buildings inside are not very tall, and the houses have pointed roofs. Between the main entrance and the building, there is a small square that looks like a school playground. It looks very clean, and many places are covered with duckweed.

With his keen hearing, Fan Xiao faintly caught a series of clapping sounds coming from inside.

Inside the welfare home, it appears that some kind of event is taking place.

He shifted his gaze slightly to the left side of the small square, where the sound was coming from.

However, it was blocked by a wall, and you couldn't see it directly from outside the gate; you had to go inside to get a full view.

At this moment, Fan Xiao had changed his image and transformed into a middle-aged man with blond hair and an arrogant appearance.

This wasn't the effect of the props; he was simply creating an illusion for himself.

Doing so would naturally be safer than physically altering one's body shape and appearance, since illusions can be seen through.

He inherited a device that could alter his body from another D-rank player.

He had used this tool during the assassination attempt at the underground boxing ring.

But this time... is different.

The situation is more dangerous... no, much more dangerous.

To ensure his combat effectiveness is at its peak, he is currently equipped with the same items he uses when entering dungeons.

They even shed the title of "Lost Kingdom" and donned the title of "Child of the Abyss."

By reducing attack power, the ability to survive is increased.

This perfectly embodies the word "cowardly".

“Let’s go in,” Fan Xiao patted Yan Keke’s head. “Keke, you can adjust the illusion for me according to the specific situation.”

"Okay. Leave it to me, Brother Fan."

Yan Keke nodded very seriously.

The situation is special now, and she needs to contribute more, so she naturally has no choice but to do so.

Moreover, even when Brother Fan is in a situation where he doesn't need to conserve his energy or strength, she will still take the initiative to help him adjust the illusion.

After all, when outsiders use her abilities through her "connection," the rate at which they consume mental energy is many times faster than it is for her personally.

Ten parts of effort might only yield one part of the result.

We can't let Brother Fan get tired.

The two walked towards the entrance of the welfare home.

Yan Keke created the illusion of invisibility for both herself and Fan Xiao.

"Dustless Shield" activated.

Fan Xiao flew over the gate and landed in the small square.

Yan Keke, acting as a "ghost," floated directly through the door.

She looked up and around, asking, "Brother Fan, what should we do next...wait, is that...Saintess Sister?"

She suddenly pointed in a certain direction.

Fan Xiao's gaze also turned to that direction—the left side of the small square.

The applause he heard outside the door came from that side.

A group of young children sat neatly together, and in their midst, a beautiful woman with an angelic face, dressed in a dark nun's habit, was giving an encouraging speech.

The gentle, melodious sound, like that of a moon lute, created an atmosphere as if music were playing, and all the children showed expressions of rapture.

If you don't listen carefully to what the other person is saying, the scene looks like a cult indoctrination session.

"What a coincidence," Yan Keke said, "Should we go over and say hello?"

“Let’s pretend we didn’t see anything,” Fan Xiao said. “Let’s go straight to the dean’s office and look for clues.”

"Um...would you just leave such an important clue lying around in the office?"

Yan Keke looked suspicious.

Fan Xiao did not hide his purpose from her, after all, the two were "bound" together, and there was no point in keeping it a secret, which was different from the Lu sisters.

"No, generally speaking."

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "But now... maybe, maybe not."

"Don't worry, even if there are no clues in the office, we can take a walk around the orphanage and we should be able to find what we want."

"How amazing!" Yan Keke asked curiously, "Is this Brother Fan's ability?"

“It’s a secret,” Van Shaw said. “Even if Coco wants to know, she’ll have to trade her own secret for it.”

“But,” Yan Keke said, “I have no secrets.”

Fan Xiao shrugged: "Then there's no replacement."

"..."

Yan Keke thought for a moment, then blushed a little and said, "Um... I... can I trade my measurements? Brother Fan."

"Why are you blushing?" Fan Xiao asked.

"Really? Really?"

Yan Keke quickly touched her cheek.

Seeing that her attention had been diverted, Fan Xiao naturally changed the subject, saying, "Let's go, it's time to get down to business."

After saying that, he walked towards the spire.

Yan Keke didn't care whether her cheeks were red or not, and quickly followed after him.

At this moment, the saint had just finished the final stage of her lecture.

After greeting the children, who were beaming with delight, with a smile, she said to the approaching director of the orphanage, "I'm going to take a walk around here. You can take care of things here for now."

The dean was a middle-aged woman with slight wrinkles on her face.

Upon hearing the saint's words, she quickly replied, "Leave this to the nun; I'll lead the way for you."

"No need, I want to walk alone now."

After giving a casual reply, the saintess walked out through the gap left by the children who had formed a circle around her.

Everyone looked up at her, their faces filled with reluctance.

The saint smiled at them and said, "Study hard here, and maybe we'll work in the same church someday."
