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

"But they are far from pure angels, who will do anything, good or bad, to achieve their goals."

"They are guilty, and therefore they compare themselves to half an angel, having lost one wing, hence the name 'one-winged angel'."

"The Bird of Hermes, the Angel..."

Fan Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.

It sounds familiar.

The world is divided into many parallel universes, which are similar in some aspects of their knowledge system, and even have some parts of their history that are exactly the same.

It seems quite normal to feel a sense of familiarity.

"Besides that?" Fan Xiao continued, "Besides the concept, does the teacher know any other information about One Wing?"

"This organization is very mysterious, with psychic-type psionicists. It would be too easy for them to block information about us."

Tina said, "Don't count on me, and don't count on Mammon's platform, especially the latter."

"If someone responds to your intelligence bounty, it's probably because you've caught a big fish that you can't handle."

“So,” Fan Xiao said with a smile, “I need you, teacher, to help me put up a reward.”

“Okay,” Tina held up one hand: “Fifty million.”

"..."

"Ten million, I'll risk it all to offer the reward."

Tina explained in detail: "Forty million, you've caught a big fish. I'll take care of it for you."

"I thought about it and decided against it."

Fan Xiao sighed in poverty, "Let's take this slowly."

……

Over the next five days, Fan Xiao followed the latest news through the 001 district's network.

There are news reports of the deaths of certain powerful figures, but the number is very small and completely disproportionate to the number of people he killed.

It seems the government of Division 001 intends to conceal relevant information about the game, and those who died will probably have to wait in line for several years before they can "die" one after another.

It's impossible to obtain intelligence through normal channels.

At this sensitive time, obtaining intelligence through Mammon's platform carries risks.

Fan Xiao simply relaxed and stopped worrying about it, leaving everything to Tina, who had the "Yukoku Yukari attribute".

Anyway, he has no say in the matter of grading.

On the sixth day, someone who surprised Van Shaw visited Rice Estate.

Chapter 283: Do good deeds without worrying about the future

"I didn't expect you to come looking for me on your own initiative... I thought that after what happened last time, you would treat me as a dangerous person and be wary of me."

In the VIP room of the Rice Manor, after welcoming the visiting Saintess and Sakura, Fan Xiao's tone became somewhat sentimental.

The fact that the saintess would take the initiative to find him was indeed a bit of a surprise to him.

From an outsider's perspective, he killed so many people in the dungeon and brutally dismembered them... which makes him look like a serial killer with a perverted fetish.

He even dared to say that his own family would misunderstand him after seeing his behavior, let alone others.

"It seems my performance in the dungeon last time caused you to misunderstand."

The saintess raised her slender white index finger and said, "Let me clarify something: that wasn't running away. I didn't feel any fear of you, Xiao."

“Hehe…” Fan Xiao laughed, “I understand.”

Let me put it this way.

Helpless, the saintess changed her approach: "You already know my secret. Do you think that with my special abilities and such a great advantage in gathering information, I would still have any misunderstandings about you?"

"That depends on what kind of intelligence you foresaw," Fan Xiao asked, seizing the opportunity. "I wonder what information Miss Qiu saw about me?"

"I might tell you later, but for now..."

The saintess shook her head slightly: "The timing is not right yet."

"This is the second time Miss Qiu has avoided this question."

Fan Xiao's interest was piqued: "Could it be... that you saw something you shouldn't have seen?"

As he asked the questions, a sense of unease crept into his mind.

Could it be that his status as an S-class psionic potential user... has been exposed?

Sakura, standing nearby, didn't react to their conversation... Did she also know that the Saintess could see the future?

"The Saintess's behavior at the banquet did not make sense from a safety perspective and seemed too reckless and brainless. By working backward from the anomaly, it is not difficult to guess that she has some special ability that makes her dare to act so recklessly. She has probably already confessed the truth to Sakura, who had some suspicions."

Fan Xiao quickly completed the analysis in his mind.

"You shouldn't have seen that... Xiao, when we're talking about serious matters, you have to be more serious, otherwise the girls will hate you."

The saintess couldn't help but remind her.

"Serious...?" Fan Xiao's expression turned strange: "Is what you saw something indecent?"

"..."

Realizing she had given herself away due to the misunderstanding, the saintess quickly changed the subject, saying, "What could be improper? Let's not talk about that now. I came to see you today because of our previous agreement."

"An agreement..." Fan Xiao asked, "An agreement for the date?"

"You remember so clearly, Xiao." The saintess smiled. "So you value our relationship that much? I'm very touched."

"Are you sure you want to talk to me like that?" Fan Xiao asked. "Are you sure?"

"..."

The saintess felt helpless.

People who aren't affected by her psychic powers are really hard to get along with.

Because she had recently used the prop, she was in a state of tranquility and detachment.

Let alone romantic love between men and women, she doesn't even experience normal emotions like shyness.

Fan Xiao's words didn't actually affect her mindset, but if she continued the conversation, she might unwittingly be taken advantage of by the man in front of her... Thinking rationally, she could only admit defeat.

"I always thought the date was just a joke."

After "reprimanding" the Holy Maiden, Fan Xiao continued, "Ever since I learned about Miss Qiu's abilities, I have understood Miss Qiu's general purpose in approaching me."

"Following the future is good for the present... Miss Qiu's reason for approaching me was not Countess Christie, and she was not lying to me about that."

"But dating... Now that our interests are clear, why bother with such an excuse?"

He smiled and said, "It was very pleasant to work with Ms. Qiu. Although our goals were different, the cooperation process did not conflict, and we both achieved the results we wanted."

"If there are new collaborations, I will definitely cooperate. There's no need to use dating as an excuse anymore."

After the banquet incident, the saintess could be said to have won big.

It's almost a certainty that her faction will seize the papacy.

Of course, he didn't lose out either.

The increased power of the saintess is of great benefit to him... or rather to his district.

In addition, he also obtained a lot of props and, through this killing spree, passed the Tribunal of Life's test... He has already been pre-selected to pass.

This is a win-win cooperation.

"That's a very direct way of putting it, Xiao. It's really harsh to hear."

The saintess revealed a slightly resentful expression and said, "Is our relationship merely a cold, calculating one of self-interest?"

"Of course not."

Fan Xiao said, "We've already established initial trust, haven't we? After trust is established, becoming friends will be a natural progression; it's just a matter of time."

The saintess subconsciously wanted to tease her with, "Can we only be friends?"

But considering Fan Xiao's current "aggressiveness"... what if Fan Xiao goes along with it and says "more than friends is fine," and then makes a tentative request to hold hands or kiss... should she accept or not?

The saint wisely swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"Do not worry."

She smiled at Fan Xiao and said, "I didn't come to see you this time to set any traps, it has nothing to do with the director's future."

"I just wanted to show you some things, and also... say thank you."

"thank?"

Fan Xiao shook his head: "I was just going with the flow. Since we're partners, there's no need to be so polite."

"Moreover, it would also be very beneficial for me if Miss Qiu's candidate team could win."

“No, that’s not what I meant,” the saintess denied. “I want you to see something else.”

"What?" Fan Xiao asked curiously.

"You can come with me."

The saintess revealed a slightly mysterious smile: "Let's treat today as a date. I'm in charge, you... just enjoy it."

"Is that so... then let's go."

Fan Xiao gave the saintess face and didn't retaliate at this moment by refuting her ambiguous words.

He was also curious about what the saintess was going to take him to see.

……

Partition 004.

Glorious City.

This is one of the three safe zones created by the player organization "Radiant Society" on the Eastern Continent.

It was also the first safe zone to be created, and it was directly named after the organization "Radiance".

At this moment, outside the gates of Satellite City No. 7, the president of the Radiant Society, after accepting the fantasy substance, watched as the siblings, born in the same year and month, disappeared from the spot using their train tickets.

The president has long, black hair that reaches her waist. She has a quiet and sweet appearance, deep eyes, a beautiful figure, and an intellectual charm.

A large number of players from the Radiant Guild surrounded her, their expressions still conveying a sense of seriousness, and a slight tension permeated the air, as if a battle had almost taken place not long ago.

A handsome, middle-aged man with a frivolous smile approached the chairman and asked, "Should we chase after them to the station, catch them, and interrogate them thoroughly?"

"Be more generous; this is not how you treat guests."

The chairman rejected the suggestion: "Besides, Mammon's people are not to be trifled with. Since they're here to deliver goods, let's not cause any unnecessary trouble."

"The goods we ordered were stolen by Mammon's men during transit."

The middle-aged man said, "Now Mammon's men are delivering goods to us again... The goods they gave us were originally ours, and now we're indebted to them... This is pure provocation and humiliation."

“The delivery route we purchased is very safe. Mammon would follow us by the smell of blood onto the train. I guess there’s a mole in the church.”

The chairman speculated, "There must be other things we don't know about behind Mammon's robbery of goods this time."

"Something happened in Division 001. A few days ago, over a hundred ordinary teenagers suddenly appeared here, all from the breeding farm in Star Memory City..."

"These events happened too close together, so there must be some connection between them."

After a pause, she gave her conclusion: "It's possible that someone from Division 001 commissioned Mammon to steal our goods and deliver them to Star Memory City in order to establish some kind of cooperation."

"But something unexpected happened. Someone thwarted the plan, stole the goods, and then commissioned Mammon's people to deliver them to us."

"Those boys and girls must have been rescued by the person who commissioned the delivery."

"After your analysis, Chairman, things are indeed much clearer..."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before saying, "Fantasy materials are a rare commodity. The person you're talking about, Chairman... no, it might not be a person, it could be an organization."

"After this organization seized the goods, they didn't pocket them; instead, they returned them to us... Could they have ulterior motives?"

"Insufficient information; there's no need to speculate in the darker directions for now."

The president shook his head and said, "I think this is just someone doing a good deed."
