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

"Let's change places."

The punk girl looked around and warned, "The commotion was a bit loud; it's only a matter of time before the people with white epaulets arrive."

"Well, although we don't need to be afraid of those bastards, they're still a nuisance."

The punk guy nodded and said, "Come with me... Oh, right, after talking for so long, I completely forgot to give my name and ask for it!"

He looked at Fan Xiao and said, "Wu Tongnian, that's my name."

Then he pointed to the punk girl and said, "Wu Tongyue, my sister, you should be able to tell. Brother, what's your name?"

Fan Xiao: "Fan Chun".

The three left the park, which was in a state of disrepair.

For safety reasons, Fan Xiao deliberately spread the illusion of invisibility, including the "siblings born in the same year and month".

The brother and sister seemed to have completely let down their guard against him and were no longer afraid to approach him... or rather, they believed in Mammon and that no player would dare to go against the entire Mammon.

About five minutes later, the whooshing sound of aircraft flying through the air rang out, and a group of people with white epaulets jumped down. Looking at the devastated Anli Park, they all showed serious expressions and stood ready for battle.

"Players have fought here! Judging from the scale of the traces left behind... they should be players of C rank or higher."

"Another troublemaker in Roman City... Damn it! Why do these reckless bastards always manage to sneak in! They're good at causing damage, but in the end, we have to pay for all the repairs... Damn it!"

"When did we ever contribute any money?"

"Think more creatively. Where do you think your taxes went?"

"Stop gossiping! Team A, go check the surveillance footage; Team B, gather intelligence from the scene; Team C, request the deployment of the Mechanical Guard. Let's try to catch them tonight!"

……

Twenty minutes later.

Fan Xiao and the punk siblings drove through a block and found a relatively upscale European-style restaurant, choosing a secluded spot to sit down.

After ordering and receiving their food, Fan Xiao asked the question that hadn't been answered before: "Who was the employer who hired you to rob the goods last time?"

Before the two could answer, he continued, "I suspect it's Division 001... or even someone from Roman City, embezzling from within?"

“It really is someone from Roman City, Brother Fan, you're... pretty smart.” Wu Tongnian asked curiously, “How did you guess?”

"A simple deduction."

Fan Xiao replied, "The simplest way for you to find me is to first find the train conductor of the previous train and then ask him for some information about me."

"As the 'hero' who saved the train at the time, it's normal for the train conductor to thank me and try to win me over."

"As long as you remember the train number and find the train conductor, you can learn some information about me... In the end, you came here, and the answer is self-evident."

In fact, he had thought about this problem beforehand and was prepared to give the train conductor some misleading false information.

As it turned out... the train conductor was very enthusiastic at first, but his enthusiasm soon faded, and he didn't have any in-depth conversation with him or ask for more detailed personal information.

"It seems that this guy recognized Nori's identity back then and was afraid of being held accountable for leaving the carriage after returning to Roman City, so... he pretended to be arrogant, angry, and unapproachable, thus preemptively blocking any possibility of communication."

"Heh... He's quite a shrewd person. I wonder if he's dead or not."

Fan Xiao glanced at the punk siblings, guessing that the guy was probably in grave danger.

He didn't mean to meddle, after all, the train conductor had twice left the carriage and almost caused their deaths.

"The fact that you could think of this proves that you were able to leave behind false information to mislead us."

Wu Tongnian said, "But you didn't. We got the information that you were in Roman City from that trash... Hey, it seems you, Brother Fan, are also very eager for us to find you?"

"That's it."

Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Fan Xiao let them fill in the blanks without offering any explanation.

He continued, "Could you tell me the employer's specific identity?"

"Well... this intelligence is worth three million! But you've been very kind to me tonight, joining without making things difficult for me. Hehe, I've decided to tell you for free."

Wu Tongnian said, "You know the Heavenly Righteous Church, right? There's an idiot in there named Allen Roman, the fourth head of the Roman family, one of the candidates for pope. He's the one who hired us."

“Alan Roman…”

Fan Xiao was quite surprised to hear the name again.

Isn't this... a bit too much of a coincidence?

He had just learned that Alan Roman was involved in the orphan disappearances.

"coincide……"

"Wait, could there be any connection between the orphan's disappearance and the theft of fantasy substances?"

Fan Xiao took it seriously, but remained outwardly calm, saying, "Was that previous batch of goods purchased from the church by forces in other districts?"

"That's right, that idiot leaked the information to us, telling us to go and steal the goods."

"It really is a case of embezzlement by the person in charge..."

Fan Xiao asked curiously, "Someone of his status shouldn't be short of money, right? Going to support a group of fantasy materials could cause a lot of trouble if exposed. It's not worth it."

"Of course he's not short of money, but money and material fantasies are two different things."

Wu Tongnian said, "This idiot is trying to use fantasy matter to win over the people of Xingyi City. You should know Xingyi City, right? It's in Division 004."

“I know,” Fan Xiao nodded. “Why are we trying to win over Xingyi City?”

"I don't know that."

Wu Tongnian shrugged: "You swallowed the last shipment. Their deal fell through, and their purpose wasn't revealed."

"Let's see what happens next. Once the goods are delivered, this idiot's purpose will become clear."

"but……"

He cautioned, "I can tell you any further information I gather, but you'll have to pay extra."

"Money is not a problem. I'm just curious about this. Spending a little money is nothing."

Fan Xiao nodded and continued, "Why don't the people of Star Memory City buy fantasy substances through legitimate channels? Why do they have to use this troublesome and unsafe method?"

"This batch of goods doesn't cost any money. Who would complain about something that can be obtained for free?"

Wu Tongnian said, "Besides that, there is another reason."

"Those guys in Xingyi City are really troublesome. They often imitate our behavior and steal things everywhere. Damn it... I should really ask them for copyright fees!"

"Let's pay the copyright fees with their lives, what do you think, bro?"

Wu Tongyue suddenly interjected at this moment.

The mere mention of Star Memory City reminded her of the cannibalistic players.

The mere mention of cannibalistic players makes her feel extremely uncomfortable and triggers her illness.

"You're just dreaming!"

Wu Tongnian waved his hand and continued to say to Fan Xiao, "In short, because the trash in Xingyi City is disgusting everywhere and often embezzles goods without paying, the 001 District has cut off trade relations with them."

“Selling fantasy materials to Star Memory City has become politically incorrect. No one dares to break the rules openly, otherwise it would be bad if someone caught us doing something wrong.”

"If you want to establish diplomatic relations and cooperation with Xingyi City, you have to do it in secret and use some underhanded methods."

"I see……"

Fan Xiao understood.

First, the church cannot accept orders for fantasy materials from Star Memory City.

Secondly, the Church's resources are not Alan Roman's personal resources—he is merely one of the pope candidates and cannot arbitrarily mobilize the Church's strategic resources.

Unless he becomes pope.

Under the influence of these two factors, if he wanted to secretly cooperate with Xingyi City, he would have to resort to some underhanded means to send over the fantasy substances that Xingyi City wanted.

The method is to leak inside information, let Mammon grab the goods, and then deliver them to your door.

"The orphan who was taken away, Alan Roman, Star Memory City, the psychic organization..."

Fan Xiao strung together the clues in his mind and felt more and more that these seemingly unrelated events could be merged into the same vortex.

The key figure pointed to was Alan Roman.

What is this person's purpose?

Fan Xiao felt that as long as he knew the other party's purpose, he would probably be able to get what he wanted.

"It seems that meeting Mammon's people this time was indeed my luck."

"The wish I made last time worked very well; things did indeed develop in a direction that was favorable to me."

It has to be said that the omnipotence of luck is truly astounding.

What allowed him to leap from a state of bewilderment, where he was at a loss for what to do, to his current state, where only the last piece of the puzzle remains.

Fan Xiao asked, "Approximately when will you deliver the goods to Xingyi City?"

"What? Brother Fan, you want to get involved too?" Wu Tongnian asked.

“That’s the idea,” Fan Xiao said with a smile. “It’s a good opportunity to experience the fun of being a member of Mammon. It just depends on whether you give me the chance.”

"I can give you the opportunity, but..."

Wu Tongnian then changed the subject, saying, "You joined halfway through, so don't even think about getting a share of the money."

"It's okay, it's my first time. I'll just treat it as a formality and get familiar with the business beforehand."

Fan Xiao shrugged and said, "We'll talk about making money next time."

"Hehe, I love people like you who are both straightforward and pragmatic!"

Wu Tongnian gave a compliment.

Fan Xiao asked, "Approximately when will it begin?"

"I don't know, we'll have to wait for that idiot Alan Roman to let us know."

Wu Tongnian said, "Judging from the previous timeline, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will probably be another month or so."

"After all, it's a robbery. If we do it too frequently, it's easy to be suspected of having a mole."

“A little over a month… okay.” Fan Xiao nodded: “Let me know when it’s time.”

There's still over a month left, which suits him perfectly.

First of all, the goods purchased from the saintess will begin to be delivered in the next few days.

Mammon's people won't make a move for a month, and with the double guarantee of "safe train" and "hired players," there's basically no chance of delivery failure.

He had been thinking that since he had already joined Mammon, he might as well spend some money to hire the brother and sister in front of him to help escort the goods throughout the process.

They are powerful and all work for Mammon, which gives them a "deterrence bonus." If they escort the goods, there will basically be no problems.

After all, Mammon has already said he would protect a batch of goods, so who would deliberately provoke these lunatics?

Given the current situation, he no longer needs to implement this plan.

Secondly, he needs time to accumulate good fortune.

That organization must be quite difficult to deal with. He needs to accumulate more than a month's worth of luck as a safety net before he can delve deeper into this matter.

Otherwise, he risks causing a crash.

After all, he is likely to be facing high-level players.

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao then asked the Punk siblings, "By the way, I don't know if you've ever heard of a player organization that consists of a group of psychic psionicists, and they should also control many other types of psionicists."

"An organization for psychic-type psionicists..."

Wu Tongnian thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of them at this point. What, you want to join them?"

“I have some ideas,” Fan Xiao nodded. “I’ve only heard people mention it occasionally. There’s such an organization that even you guys don’t know about. I guess it will be hard to find at this point in time.”

"A player organization composed of mentalists..."

Wu Tongyue, who was eating idly nearby, suddenly looked up and said, "This looks interesting. If you find it, let me know so I can sneak in and take a look too."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "No problem."

"By the way, Fan Chun, let's run a dungeon together," Wu Tongyue invited. "If our art were combined, we could fill the dungeon with amazing works. All the other players would be our creative material. How about it? Sounds tempting, right?"

"I'm busy right now, I have other things to take care of."
