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

Fan Xiao made a judgment in his mind.

Guessing this seems pointless.

But in reality... it directly concerns one's safety while staying at Aoyama Academy.

As for the connection between the two...

Fan Xiao glanced at his two teammates.

Then you can use them to test your guesses.

"All right."

Fan Xiao suddenly clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention: "Class is about to start, you should all go back now."

"We are students now, so we should do things that are appropriate for our student status, otherwise..."

"You mean violating school rules will attract the attention of the dungeon boss, right?"

Guan Yao asked.

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "It's so much easier to talk to smart people."

……

After everyone left, Fan Xiao did not immediately return to the classroom.

Class is about to start, and there's no one left in the hallway.

Fan Xiao seized the opportunity, took out a fragment of a mirror from his storage space, and then murmured a single word: "Mirror".

The B-rank item, Mirror, has been activated.

His figure disappeared from the spot and entered the mirror world through the mirror.

Then, he began to sense the fragments of the mirror he had left in the courtyard of the surface world.

Yes, he wanted to test whether he could use a teleportation device to overcome the barrier between the inner and outer worlds.

As it turned out... he was overthinking it.

The mirror fragments left in the surface world cannot be sensed at all.

"It wasn't that easy after all..."

Fan Xiao put away the mirror and walked towards the classroom.

After he returned to his seat, Himuro Rui glanced at him.

Seeing that he didn't continue talking to her, the girl seemed a little disappointed.

The second class ended quickly.

Then came the third lesson.

During his free time, Fan Xiao didn't go out to look for anyone. Instead, he lay on the table like a salted fish and chatted lazily with Himuro Rui, making the girl very happy.

When it was lunchtime and there was no break, Guan Yao and the others approached him.

"Something's happened!" Guan Yao said, her face darkening. "Tu Shang has disappeared!"

"One of my subordinates has also disappeared."

The female player with the katana looked grim and said, "What's going on with this school?! Isn't Aoyama Academy the safest place?"

"It is relatively safe, not absolutely safe."

After Fan Xiao finished his reminder, he asked, "Two people disappeared... Did you see exactly how they disappeared?"

"Tu Shang disappeared while searching for someone."

Guan Yao replied, "As for the specifics of how they disappeared... I'm not quite sure, but I guess it's the same way the three people disappeared at the villa in the surface world. By the time they came to their senses, they were already gone. It's very strange."

Chapter 294 Fan Xiao PUAs High School Girl

It's clearly illogical that players would still disappear from what should have been the safest place.

Even if "safest" refers to relative safety, it should still be much better than the villas in the surface world.

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao almost immediately realized one thing—in the villas of the surface world, the disappearance of players was inevitable, but in Qingshan Academy, the disappearance should be conditional.

If you can find this condition and actively avoid it, you should be able to safely survive for four days.

And the condition... if nothing unexpected happens, should be related to "being a kind person".

From this perspective, Aoyama Gakuin is indeed one of the safest places.

If you find the right method, you can get through the four days without getting hurt.

Fan Xiaochao asked Guan Yao, "When Tu Shang disappeared, did you encounter anything unusual?"

"I'm not sure."

Guan Yao shook her head and said, "After the last class, we gathered during our break and went to another teaching building to conduct a search."

"To improve efficiency, we searched for classrooms separately on the same floor."

"After I finished searching the fifth classroom, I noticed that Tu Shang hadn't come to the corridor yet, so I went to look for him, but... I couldn't find him."

"I've searched both floors, but I still can't find him."

"You even split up to do the search?" Mercury scoffed. "Are you that careless?"

"If this is considered splitting up and causing trouble, then wouldn't things have gone wrong long ago when we were always alone in different classrooms?"

Guan Yao said, "Moreover, Tu Shang and I have always stayed on the same floor, so if any accident happens, we can provide support to each other within seconds."

"Qingshan Academy is the safest place, according to the dungeon."

"Who would have thought that even in the safest place, the same phenomenon of players disappearing would occur, just like in the real world?"

She paused for a moment, then added, "Under the 'disappearance' phenomenon, there's no difference between being in a team or alone."

"When we were in the villa in the surface world, we were always in a team. When our teammates disappeared, we didn't notice anything, did we?"

"No one has stipulated that the real world and the world outside must be the same, right?"

The bald man retorted, "If you don't separate, you might be able to see something."

"There's no need for hindsight," Fan Xiao said, trying to smooth things over. "If she really saw something, she might have disappeared along with it. Worrying about whether to team up or be alone is really pointless."

"Are you trying to excuse yourself?"

The female player with the katana questioned, "We're all looking for someone, why aren't you doing anything? Why are you just staying in the classroom?"

"How did you know I hadn't been able to...?"

Halfway through his sentence, Fan Xiao glanced at the bald man and the tattooed man, and then understood: "Sigh, trust between people..."

"Brother, everyone is busy, and it's really not right for you to be the only one not taking any action."

The bald man shrugged.

There was no embarrassment on his face, which suggests he has a very thick skin.

The tattooed man chimed in, "The intelligence we've gathered is shared, so naturally everyone has to put in the effort."

The search was conducted in separate teams.

Fan Xiao belonged to the cannibalistic group, and the bald man and the tattooed man naturally knew that he hadn't taken any action.

I never expected these two guys to tell everyone... It's not poverty that's the problem, but inequality. I guess these two are the type who feel worse seeing their friends make money than when they lose money themselves.

"Hehe... Don't worry, whether others know that I didn't take any action or not is irrelevant to me."

Fan Xiao first comforted his "teammate," making it clear that he didn't care.

He then explained, "I'm not taking any action because I'm lazy, but because I believe in my own deduction that the four people who disappeared in the surface world are definitely not at Qingshan Academy."

"Where are they?" the bald man asked.

"How would I know?" Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "It might be in some other dimension."

He looked at the female player with the katana and continued the previous topic: "In short, this is the reason why I'm not taking action. This matter is not important."

"But what about you... what caused your missing subordinate to separate from you?"

The reason for asking this question is that he had just given a guess—if an accident occurs when forming a team, it is very likely that everyone will disappear, rather than only one person disappearing and the others being able to stay and report the situation.

Judging from the security warnings regarding the dungeon, the villa in the surface world and the Green Mountain Academy in the inner world are definitely different.

The disappearance of players at Qingshan Academy must be subject to some kind of condition, rather than being a random disappearance—it was based on this conclusion that he made this conjecture.

If it were a villa in the real world, it would be normal for only one person to disappear when they were acting together.

"We didn't separate voluntarily; we were forced to separate after class ended."

The female player with the katana said, "I guess he disappeared on his way back to class, or maybe he disappeared in class."

"It seems that Qingshan Academy isn't safe either!"

Mercury sighed, "Let's put the search on hold for now. We can't afford to check information on other players right now."

He glanced at Fan Xiao and continued, "He's stayed in the classroom the whole time and nothing's happened. Maybe that's the safest thing to do. You can search if you want; I'm not getting involved."

"I'm quitting too."

Luo Hao followed up.

The female player with the katana frowned.

Having entered with a reconnaissance mission, she naturally didn't want the other players to take a passive approach to the dungeon.

Even if she has money and wants to buy information, no one can sell it to her.

However, given the current situation... she can't really criticize anyone.

"Everyone, take care of yourselves. We're leaving now."

After Mercury finished speaking, he and Luo Hao left along the corridor.

Guan Yao and the female player with the katana, along with others, followed closely behind and left.

Upon seeing this, the bald man and the tattooed man turned and walked towards their respective classrooms.

"and many more."

Fan Xiao suddenly called out to the two of them.

The bald man turned around and said, "Brother, it's your own problem that you've been slacking off. No wonder we told others."

"Don't worry," Fan Xiao said with a smile, "I already said that I don't care about this matter."

"Then why did you stop us?"

"I asked the tattooed man."

After entering the inner world, the threat of "other players uniting to deal with the cannibal players" is gone, and now two more people have disappeared. The ratio of cannibal players to human and demi-human players has reached 3:5.

With such a close comparison, internal strife is unlikely to occur.

In other words, the threat from other players has been minimized.

Therefore, players who cannibalize each other no longer need to be so polite to one another.

“I have some information I want to share with you,” Fan Xiao said. “I don’t trust human players and demi-human players, so I’m not going to tell them.”

"Oh?" the tattooed man asked excitedly, "What information?"

“Walls have ears,” Fan Xiao cautioned. “We need to talk discreetly.”

"Yes, you've thought it through very well."

The bald man nodded, activated his defensive gadgets, and created a soundproof area: "Alright, you can talk now."

"When you came to find me just now, did you check the condition of my classroom?"

Fan Xiao began by asking a question.

"The situation in the classroom..." The bald man thought for a moment and replied, "By the way, the girl you were talking to earlier... seems to be missing? We're not far from each other, and we came to find you right after class. Logically, she should still be in the classroom... Wait! You wouldn't...!?"

“You guessed right,” Fan Xiao grinned, “Her taste…tsk tsk, it’s absolutely amazing!”

This is of course a lie.

After befriending Himuro Rui, he relentlessly pursued her until the somewhat timid girl agreed to one request—to skip class and spend an entire afternoon in the restroom, where she couldn't come out.
