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

In order not to alert the suspects, Fan Xiao did not take immediate action to eliminate them.

When it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, he took Lu Baizhi and headed to the place he had agreed to meet with "Sister Liu Liu".

The location was in a small square in front of a fast food restaurant near the station, some distance from the area where Song Qingshan was located.

When Fan Xiao arrived, he found that a lot of people had already gathered in the small square.

There were local residents, people who looked like foreigners but were actually Westerners, and people who came from China for various reasons.

Fan Xiao, wearing a sun hat, expensive-looking clothes, a color-blocked backpack, and the latest foldable phone, looked around and quickly spotted the internet celebrity "Liu Liu".

He immediately led Lu Baizhi closer.

At this moment, a number of people had gathered around Liu Liu. A small number of them were local internet celebrities like Liu Liu, while the rest were all from China, numbering more than twenty.

"It seems like everything was arranged all at once... No, maybe not all of them were arranged. They'll probably select a few people to fake an accidental disappearance. Taking action against everyone would have too much of an impact."

Fan Xiao made a judgment in his mind.

After he and Lu Baizhi approached and introduced themselves, Liu Liu chatted with them warmly.

Fan Xiao displayed the appropriate reaction of a loyal fan – excitement, joy, and taking a group photo.

While pretending to agree, he observed the people around him.

Many people showed obvious disappointment in their eyes.

They were tourists lured here by the promise of beautiful scenery and delicious food, but... the place looked very backward, and some areas were obviously dirty and messy. It was not as clean and tidy as some small towns in China.

Is there anything fun to do in this place?

At this moment, Yan Keke, who was next to Fan Xiao, suddenly tugged at his sleeve and reminded him, "Brother Fan, there are four people whose mental strength is much higher than the others. They should be players."

"..."

Fan Xiao was a little surprised and glanced sideways in the direction Yan Keke was pointing.

Ahead, four men stood together, blending into the crowd and chatting naturally with others.

Fan Xiao became alert and carefully observed the micro-expressions of the four people, discovering that there was a high probability that they were acting.

"Am I exposed? Are they after me? Or..."

He quickly realized that one of them looked somewhat familiar.

After comparing his memories, he quickly recognized the other person.

Chapter 326 Caught a Big Fish

“Fan Xiao, look at that person. He looks a bit like the college student we met in the initial selection process.”

Lu Baizhi suddenly tugged at Fan Xiao's right sleeve and spoke up to remind him.

Fan Xiao's illusions can interfere with the five senses to a certain extent, including hearing, so she has no worries when she speaks and is not afraid of being overheard.

"It's indeed him."

Fan Xiao looked away and nodded.

When he first participated in the selection process, there were a total of eight people, including him and the Lu Xining sisters.

Two of them were cannibalistic players, a man and a woman, and they were both killed.

Both are demi-human players; one is a high-ranking male executive with dog ears, and the other is a hooded young man with cat ears.

The remaining four human players were him, the Lu Xining sisters, and a male college student.

That college student even developed feelings for Lu Xining because they had gone through hardships together... or perhaps for Lu Baizhi? Or maybe for both sisters?

Fan Xiao guessed that it was probably a desire to "want them all".

Young men, those who know, know.

Back then, Lu Xining was quite aloof; a single cold glance was enough to scare the college students away.

“Cold…”

Memories of the past surfaced, and Fan Xiao suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

Initially, he wasn't really interested in the Lu sisters.

He'd seen plenty of pretty girls; their looks might impress him, but they didn't really mean anything.

It wasn't until Lu Xining revealed a ruthlessness that didn't match her age and appearance, and Lu Baizhi displayed extraordinary luck, that he began to pay attention to the two, thinking that they might become teammates.

As for their mindset... it's probably that they want to take advantage of them.

As a result, Lu Xining's aloof persona collapsed after only a few dungeons... Oh, no, she was just acting according to her desires, and she still acted aloof towards people she wasn't interested in.

In short, this little girl single-handedly led him astray.

The pure teamwork among everyone was gone forever.

Yes, he was led astray.

He naturally has desires as a man, but they haven't reached the level of being explicit or perverted.

When Lu Xining set himself on fire, he accidentally set him on fire as well.

"Brother Fan, they should all be players from the Order faction. I didn't sense much malice from them."

As Fan Xiao was lost in his memories, Yan Keke tugged at his left sleeve again, reminding him.

“Yes,” Fan Xiao nodded, “I guessed that.”

When Yan Keke encountered a problem, she would tug at his left sleeve, while Lu Baizhi would tug at his right sleeve... He felt as if he had taken two very dependent children out with him.

It's a rather subtle feeling.

After handing over the task of talking to the internet celebrity "Liu Liu" to Yan Keke, Fan Xiao said to Lu Baizhi, "Besides our acquaintance, the three people standing next to him are also players."

"Four players?" Lu Baizhi immediately became alert. "Are they the enemies? Have we been exposed?"

"Don't be nervous, Gardenia."

Fan Xiao comforted him, "Encountering other players is probably just a coincidence."

"Think about where this place is. If a player's friends or family members in China went missing, there's a good chance that the player would follow the clues here."

"Since you know there's danger here, it's natural not to travel alone. It's perfectly normal to call on your fellow players to come along."

"Are you here looking for someone too...?"

Lu Baizhi thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That should be it. Our whereabouts are so well concealed, our routes are entirely determined by luck, there's no pattern to it, and with Fan Xiao, your illusion magic is also covering us up..."

"If this can be exposed, then the enemy's methods are beyond imagination."

"By the way, speaking of illusions..."

She suddenly remembered a question and quickly reminded him, "Fan Xiao, what are the chances that your illusions can be seen through?"

"We are ordinary people now. If it is discovered that we have used superhuman abilities, all our work in hiding our identities will be for nothing."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Fan Xiao glanced at the four players not far away a few more times.

At this stage, only A-level players can see through Yan Keke's illusion.

Or they could be B-level players with special abilities.

Therefore, the chance of being exposed is the same as the chance of a player of grade B or above appearing in section 010, which is extremely low.

With Lu Baizhi by his side and good fortune protecting him, there shouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, this is also a form of reverse fishing.

If he manages to lure in an A-level player, he'll use his "crisis sense" to run away immediately, and there'll be no need to continue the plan.

At that time, he will use the "Key of Mammon" or the "Badge of Justice" to spend money to recruit people and launch a righteous gang attack on any A-level player who dares to come to the new zone!

If you catch a B-grade fish, you don't need to run away. You can ambush it or drag it into Fairy Tale Town and kill it.

"Ah That's good."

Lu Baizhi seemed to trust Fan Xiao unconditionally.

After hearing the reassurance that there was no need to worry, she put aside her concerns and asked about other matters, saying, "Those four people... I wonder if they might interfere with our plans and alert them prematurely?"

"Maybe, maybe... they're an asset delivered to our doorstep, they can help us gather intelligence from the front lines."

Fan Xiao said with high emotional intelligence.

The things that people with low emotional intelligence say... these four people can step on their landmines and pitfalls for them.

Of course, given his great character and noble virtues, he would never intentionally cheat people.

He was just following these four people to find out about the situation behind the fraud gang. Isn't that ethical?

"Then... let's wait and see?" Lu Baizhi suggested.

“Yes,” Fan Xiao said, “we just need to play our roles well.”

He then looked away.

at the same time.

The university students were also having a discussion—using a prop made of connected letters, they achieved telepathic communication.

"Captain, your prop is really useful. I can talk to others with my mouth while simultaneously having a mental chat channel with my teammates. Hey... look at me, don't I look like a penniless guy desperately wanting to make money?"

A young man with dark red hair, an earring, and a slightly frivolous smile silently recited in his mind.

The man referred to as "Captain" was the opposite of the frivolous man; he was a burly middle-aged man with a rather serious expression.

The captain responded to the frivolous man, "Tone down your smile. We're not professional actors; there's no need to overact. Just react normally. Remember, our primary objective is to find and rescue Xiao Ren's brother. Don't arouse their suspicion now!"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

The frivolous man glanced at the taciturn, dark-skinned youth beside him: "Xiao Ren, you should relax. Half of our team came this time. Dealing with these fraudsters should be easy, right? They're just ordinary people."

"Brother Wang, we're here to rescue people, not to fight."

Before the dark-skinned young man, Xiao Ren, could respond, the college student standing next to the captain spoke up first: "And don't underestimate these scammers. Although they are ordinary people, some of them may be armed with firearms. If we're not careful, even if we are players, we can still be caught off guard."

"Xiao Liu is right, don't underestimate this group."

The captain added, "And who can guarantee that no one in the scam group has become a player?"

"After the Evolution Game came along, many rules changed. The former leader of this group may have already been killed and replaced by the players. We should be careful."

"Xiao Ren, don't worry too much about your brother. Now that you've joined us, we'll do our best to help your family if something happens to them."

"Yes, thank you, Captain Qi."

The dark-skinned young man, Xiao Ren, sincerely expressed his gratitude.

At this moment, the frivolous man glanced around and changed the subject, muttering to himself, "There are quite a few people here! Are these scammers really that brazen?"

"They'll probably only target a small number of people and then stage it as a missing persons case," the college student analyzed. "Besides, many of them are illegal immigrants who probably committed crimes in China. Even if these people disappear, it won't cause much of a stir."

"Don't do anything foolish!" the captain warned. "Our primary goal is to save people. We can't control these people. If we alert them now, things will get out of control."

"Don't worry, Captain, I don't have the time to do chivalrous things. I just think it's a bit of a pity."

The frivolous man looked to his right and said, "Among the people who came this time, there are a few girls who are quite pretty, and their clothes are also quite stylish. They probably come from very well-off families."

"Tsk tsk... What a bunch of short-sighted idiots! Coming to this remote, impoverished place for tourism? They're crazy!"

"If they become targets of scammers... they're probably in for a world of trouble."

"These children from wealthy families should be the primary targets," the college student analyzed again. "Kidnapping and extortion are more meaningful when the family is rich. The people you mentioned are indeed very dangerous."

"Do you think if I rescued them in a crucial moment, they would be willing to marry me?"

The frivolous man chuckled and said, "After we return to China, I might be able to marry into a wealthy family."

"Brother Wang, are you reading a novel?"

The college student's gaze was somewhat subtle.

"You're still a virgin, aren't you, kid?" the frivolous man chuckled. "Let me tell you, women are all for this. Of course, there's a prerequisite: you have to be good-looking. Otherwise, they'll have to wait until their next life to get their revenge."

He pointed in the direction of Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi and said, "See that girl? Although her clothes are loose, judging from my observation, her figure is... top-notch!"

"He's good-looking too. It would be such a shame if he were to be insulted by these scammers."
