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

The freezing process seemed to be accelerated countless times, spreading rapidly and covering the surrounding corridors and classroom floors, resulting in a thick layer of ice.

As the red monster was located in the very center of the area covered and surrounded by the power of ice, it received special attention.

It was instantly encased inside a giant ice ball.

The freezing force was like a series of knives, constantly cutting into its body.

Its flames went out, its movements gradually ceased, and soon it became completely still.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao kicked out and landed on the ice hockey.

A small crack appeared, and the crack quickly spread, causing the huge ice ball to shatter within seconds.

The red monster also shattered.

Its body was torn to pieces, becoming a pile of fragments.

On the other side, Luo Hao finally broke free from the control of the monster covered in food and stopped attacking his teammates.

Mercury seized the opportunity and suddenly raised his right hand.

"Queen Cordwin's tentacles!"

His right hand extended out and transformed into more than a dozen tentacles, capturing the food monster.

Then the tentacles suddenly retracted, and the monster was dragged towards Mercury at an extremely fast speed.

*Thud, thud...* The numerous metal wires filling the air sliced ​​the food monster's body into a pile of fragments.

With Fan Xiao's help, the battle came to an end.

"Thanks, you've been a great help."

After putting away the props, Mercury thanked Fan Xiao.

He then warned, "Be careful of the monsters in this dungeon. They are intelligent and will cooperate to ambush you. Each monster's ability can greatly interfere with the player, and its effect is even more powerful than a D-grade item."

“You’re out of touch,” Van Shaw said. “I’ve already encountered this before.”

“…Alright.” Mercury asked, “Did you come because you heard the noise?”

“Hmm,” Fan Xiao nodded, “This place is only so big. If something happens and causes a big commotion, players in other locations can basically pinpoint the location of the incident immediately. So…”

He asked, "Why didn't you come over when I made a commotion here before?"

"We were held up by those three foreign players."

Mercury sighed softly, "We ran into them as soon as we came in. Those three guys wanted to know what information we had obtained at Green Mountain Academy. In the end, we couldn't reach an agreement and a fight broke out."

"When we were halfway through the fight, with both sides taking damage, four monsters suddenly jumped out and ambushed us."

"correct……"

He pointed in the direction where the three brown-haired male players had left and asked, "Should we chase after them, and then..."

Mercury made a gesture of touching his neck with his finger.

"Let's not cause any more trouble for now," Fan Xiao shook his head. "There are quite a few monsters in this dungeon. The more players we have alive, the less danger we have to share. Killing people now would be a thankless task."

"The monster isn't dead yet!"

At this moment, Luo Hao, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

His gaze was fixed on the fragments of two monster corpses on the ground.

These fragments are gradually coming together.

"Don't be nervous, this is normal."

Fan Xiao responded to Luo Hao's words and repeated his previous speculations about Guan Yao.

"The monsters and the dungeon are bound together; they won't die..."

After a moment's thought, Mercury said, "According to you, that red monster might have been a grumpy delinquent in its previous life."

"That monster covered in food might be someone who often uses their seniority at school to make juniors run errands and pay for their meals... So he's good at controlling others?"

"Pretty much," Fan Xiao nodded. "You can try using this method to guess in advance what kind of monsters there will be, so you can be prepared."

"Can we manage without these two monsters?"

At this moment, Luo Hao asked Fan Xiao a question.

His gaze remained fixed on the remains of the two monsters' corpses.

"The damaged buildings in Green Mountain Prison are being repaired very slowly, and the monsters are probably repairing them at the same speed."

Fan Xiao replied, "Let's wait here for now. There's no danger. We still have someone on our side who hasn't arrived yet."

After reminding Luo Hao, he couldn't help but ask Mercury, "By the way, what happened to those three foreign players who ran away as soon as they saw me?"

Chapter 301 Bob says he's screwed.

Faced with Fan Xiao's question, Mercury pondered for a moment before replying, "Perhaps... they sensed the terrifying killing intent emanating from you?"

"What murderous intent did I emit?" Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "I just got here and haven't even figured out the situation yet."

"You really didn't intend to kill them?" Mercury asked.

"Your question is strange. I have no past grudges or recent feuds with them, so why would I kill them?"

Fan Xiao pouted and said, "Don't try to create a persona for me. If word gets out, it will affect my reputation outside."

Upon hearing this, Mercury wanted to give Van Shaw the middle finger.

They've already called him a "human butcher," so what good reputation do they want?

However, considering that Fan Xiao seemed a bit petty, he generously refrained from making a complaint and replied seriously, "Maybe they have items that can detect the threat level of players. You are so strong, if you take advantage of them being entangled with monsters to attack them, they will be in big trouble."

"With this kind of threat, if it were me, I would also actively avoid you."

"If such a convenient tool existed, they would have used it as soon as the dungeon opened."

Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "Do you remember how that black guy Bob behaved at the villa in the world of appearances? That guy was playing double standards with me."

"That brown-haired guy was also very rude to me, and he disagreed with me a few times."

"If they knew I posed a great threat, they should have held back. Otherwise...aren't they afraid I'll kill them?"

Mercury: "..."

He was really impressed!

And this is how you dare to claim you had no intention of killing?

They're just using double standards, going against your wishes, and you're going to kill them...

"What kind of look is that?"

Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "I'm just giving you an example to illustrate the logic behind it."

"Do you understand giving examples? It's not like I'm really going to do it. Do you take me for some kind of psychopathic killer?"

"I didn't say you were, why are you in such a hurry to explain?"

Mercury shrugged and said, "Why are you getting so worked up? You're not losing your temper, are you?"

"Hehe, you learn pretty fast."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Sarcastic remarks are indeed very useful, but... is it really okay for you to provoke me like this?"

"Your file contains records of my regular psychotherapy sessions, right?"

"Aren't you afraid... that doing this might suddenly trigger my mental health issues?"

"..." Mercury: "Who are you trying to scare?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao suddenly raised his hand, assuming a stance as if to attack.

Mercury suddenly took several steps back, adopting an extremely serious posture.

As a result... Fan Xiao simply reached behind his head, scratched his head, and said, "My scalp is a little itchy."

"..."

Mercury tried his best to keep his face expressionless and not show any anger or other emotions.

If you reveal it, you've already lost!

He was genuinely afraid that Fan Xiao might suddenly go berserk and attack.

After all, this guy... his reputation precedes him; the nickname "human butcher" wasn't given lightly.

"You're such a coward. I just raised my hand, and you backed away this far."

Fan Xiao said in a pitying tone, "Even he just quietly mocked you."

He pointed at Luo Hao and said with great certainty, "Although he smiled very subtly, I saw it."

Just to be on the safe side, he didn't call Luo Hao by name when he spoke.

However, he conveyed his meaning very well.

Mercury looked at Luo Hao, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Luo Hao: "..."

Perhaps not expecting to be caught in the crossfire, Luo Hao was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

In this situation, even a denial wouldn't be very credible... He actually laughed.

But his smile was very slight. How come Fan Xiao has such sharp eyes?

"Alright, stop bullying an honest man," Mercury said. "I believe him."

"These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth..."

Fan Xiao sighed softly.

After moving on from that topic, he got down to business, saying, "Your guess just now, as I said, had a logical flaw. It's unlikely that those three foreign players would have the tools to detect the level of threat."

If such an item existed, it would definitely be used as soon as the dungeon opened to mark the threats in advance, so as to avoid offending powerful figures through ignorant actions.

Just like how he had Yan Keke point out who the good guys and bad guys were before the dungeon opened.

Of course, his purpose was not to mark threats.

"However, there's one thing you said that you're probably right."

Fan Xiao continued, "The reason they're avoiding me must be because they sense I pose a threat."

"The perception wasn't achieved through props, but rather..."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Did you see those two cannibal players? No, there should be three."

"Your words remind me of something I almost forgot to tell you."

Mercury's tone became more serious: "Before the conflict with those three foreign players, we had already encountered a monster once."

"But that monster was different from the two lying on the ground now; it wasn't very intelligent... According to you, we should have been in the period before school ended."

"Of course, that's not the point. Do you know who that monster looks like?"

"The cannibalistic player who disappeared at the very beginning?" Fan Xiao asked.

He brought up the topic of cannibalistic players, and the answer to Mercury's question is self-evident.

As for why it was the first one to disappear... there were three cannibalistic players in total: the bald man, the tattooed man, and the young male player.

Of the three, the young male player is the weakest and the first to disappear, making him the most likely to meet with misfortune.

"Yes! That's him!"

Mercury nodded and said, "That monster has completely deviated from the behavior of a normal human. We determined its original identity by its tattered clothes."

“Players staying in Green Mountain Prison may turn into monsters, and we must be careful about this.”

"The monsters in the dungeon are all transformed from the earliest perpetrators who went to hell. That's my guess."

Fan Xiao said, "Based on this conjecture, since others will turn into monsters, we players will naturally be no exception."

"So you already knew that...?"

Mercury asked, "What do you think is the reason players turn into monsters? Is it simply the length of time they spend in Green Mountain Prison, or... only the dead become part of this instance?"

"The latter, right? If it were the former, that would be terrible!"
