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

"That place seems more suitable."

Lu Baizhi pointed in a direction.

There stands a two-story house there, with a very outdated architectural style, somewhat similar to a mud house in the countryside.

Fan Xiao walked over and knocked on the door.

A series of light footsteps came from inside the house.

Chirp—the door opened, and a little head peeked out.

She was a little girl, about twelve years old, with slightly dark skin and a sallow complexion, looking somewhat malnourished.

Upon seeing Fan Xiao and his companions, the little girl waved her hand and refused them before they could ask anything, saying, "You're not welcome in our home! Go somewhere else."

Chapter 50 Despicable Foreigner

Upon hearing the little girl's refusal as she peeked out, Lu Xining immediately looked at her younger sister.

Has my sister's luck run out?

Instead of rashly choosing a place to stay, they relied on Lu Baizhi's intuition.

A girl with extraordinary luck will surely be able to help them find the most suitable place to stay.

But what happens now?

Why can't I even get through the door...?

"You brat! What are you doing!"

Suddenly, a harsh shout came from behind the door.

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out, and then the door was suddenly pulled open, revealing a tall, middle-aged man to Fan Xiao and his companions.

The man's clothes were somewhat dirty and disheveled, his face was unshaven and weathered, and his eyes were filled with obvious anger.

However, his anger immediately subsided when his gaze fell upon Fan Xiao and the other two.

The man smiled warmly and said, "So you have a guest. Please come in."

He pulled the little girl aside, making room for Fan Xiao and the other two to enter the house.

As he invited them in, he explained, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, you’re all unfamiliar faces. You must be visitors from outside, right? We’ve had some visitors stay here before, but their attitude and behavior… well, it’s hard to explain. So please don’t mind my daughter’s attitude. She just dislikes people from outside the island because of some experiences, and she’s not targeting you specifically.”

After explaining, he sent his daughter away, saying, "Xiao Yi, go to your room and don't come out and cause trouble!"

"But……"

"Warm hospitality is a divine decree given to us by the gods!" The man said sternly, "Go inside, do you hear me?"

The little girl wanted to say something, but when she met the man's stern gaze, she instinctively shrank back, turned around, and ran into a room.

"I'm sorry you had to see this," the man said with an apologetic smile.

“It’s alright,” Fan Xiao said. “It’s understandable that outsiders have varying qualities.”

Those who come here are either players or ordinary people who have been drawn in.

Needless to say, ordinary people who are unlucky will not give the people on the island a friendly look.

As for the players... players in dungeons are generally suspicious by nature, so it's not surprising that they do anything.

It's perfectly reasonable that they're not welcome.

"But please rest assured."

Fan Xiao continued, "We are all good people and easy to get along with."

“You do look very friendly,” the man said with a smile. “You’re here to stay the night, aren’t you?”

“That’s right, we need to stay here for three nights.” Fan Xiao nodded. “Won’t that be a burden to you?”

"No, no, our warm hospitality is a divine decree, a tradition of our island."

The man ushered the three into the living room, poured three cups of tea, and placed them on the coffee table.

Fan Xiao had no doubts, and naturally picked it up, took a sip, and commented, "The tea has a nice aroma."

Lu Xining frowned and glanced at him, seemingly dissatisfied with his carelessness in daring to drink such things.

At this point, the man chimed in, "This tea is a specialty of our island and has been praised by many visiting guests."

"Oh? You grew them yourselves?"

Fan Xiao then asked, "With so many monsters outside, where do you plant your tea trees?"

“To the north, there is a plain where, besides tea trees, there are many other crops. The people of our entire island depend on that land for sustenance.” The man sighed, “There are too many monsters outside, so we can’t go to the sea to fish. Fortunately, the gods protect us and allow us to have a piece of land to grow something.”

"Um... with so many monsters on the island, haven't you ever thought about leaving?"

Lu Baizhi suddenly asked.

“With the gods around, we don’t need to worry about monsters,” the man explained. “Besides, you may not know, but the world outside the island is very chaotic. Going out there is a risk of not knowing if you’ll live a normal life. We are already very grateful to have such a peaceful place to live. Nobody wants to move out.”

Do gods really exist?

"What kind of question is that! The divine beings have always existed and have always protected us. Do you, a little girl, need to question them?!"

The man's expression changed, and he suddenly became agitated, loudly rebuking Lu Baizhi.

"Sorry, sorry," Fan Xiao stepped in to smooth things over, "She's just a young girl, she's just curious and asking, she didn't mean any harm, please don't mind."

“…Never mind.” The man waved his hand. “But you must remember, on this island, you must respect the gods. Disrespecting the gods will bring divine punishment sooner or later!”

"Yeah, remember."

Fan Xiao changed the subject, saying, "By the way, since you've already agreed to let us stay here, it's a bit unreasonable that we don't even know each other's names. Let me introduce myself. My name is Fan Er."

"..." Lu Xining: "Doll".

Lu Baizhi glanced at her sister and Fan Xiao, suppressing the urge to complain, and imitated them, saying, "Just call me Zhizi."

"You outsiders' names are as strange as ever."

The man's eye twitched, and he replied, "My name is Li Wendong."

"Have you hosted many visitors?" Fan Xiao asked.

"Yes, every now and then, a group of people arrive."

"Will many outsiders die on this island?"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this question, Li Wendong snorted heavily and said, "They brought this upon themselves! If they had simply followed the rules set by the gods, nothing would have happened, but they insisted on doing many things that violated the rules and disrespected the gods. They were simply asking for death, so who can they blame?"

At this point, he couldn't help but remind you, "The three of you had better be careful not to violate the rules of the gods, otherwise even I can't save you."

“Is that so…” Fan Xiao asked, “What rules have the gods set? We only know that we must find lodging.”

"You don't know the other rules?"

Li Wendong was taken aback for a moment, then explained, "It's actually very simple."

First, we must find a place to stay for the night;

"Secondly, each household can only host a maximum of three guests at a time;"

Third, do not attack the island's inhabitants;

"Fourth, you must go to the central shrine at 10 p.m. to worship and pray to the gods for a peaceful night."

"As long as you follow these four rules, there won't be any problems. You must remember them clearly."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao, Lu Xining, and Lu Baizhi exchanged glances, all showing signs of doubt.

Four rules... There's one more rule than the game hints: "worship and prayer."

Game hints are unlikely to be wrong or incomplete.

Therefore, either Li Wendong is lying;

Alternatively, this rule could be learned from the islanders, serving as part of the dungeon's challenges.

Which one is it?

Lu Xining frowned, somewhat unsure of what to expect.

Fan Xiao then asked, "Among the previous outsiders, were there any people with special abilities?"

"You mean players, right? There are indeed people like that mixed in with the outsiders, treating our island like some kind of dungeon, saying they're here to clear it, and even saying that the gods are some kind of dungeon boss... Ha, what a bunch of lunatics."

At this point, Li Wendong asked, "You guys aren't those kinds of players, are you?"

Chapter 51 He's getting anxious, he's getting anxious.

"of course not."

Fan Xiao denied it, saying, "We were suddenly transferred here, and then we encountered some people with special abilities. They even threatened us, saying they would kidnap my two younger sisters and play with them cruelly. Fortunately, someone came to our rescue in the end. So those people with special abilities were players... What a strange name."

"..."

Lu Xining glanced at Fan Xiao but said nothing.

Lu Baizhi's face was slightly flushed.

"By the way, Uncle Li," Fan Xiao asked, "do you know what happened that led to our sudden relocation?"

"Many outsiders have asked this question, and I don't know the specific reason."

Li Wendong shook his head: "The thoughts of the gods are beyond our mortal comprehension. You don't need to think so much. Just follow the rules here, stay for three days, and you can go back."

"Are you the original inhabitants of this place?" Fan Xiao then asked.

Li Wendong did not answer, but instead asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"I was wondering if you were like us, suddenly transferred here, unable to go back, and thus settled down."

"of course not!"

Li Wendong said, "Young man, you're worrying too much. I've already said that as long as you follow the rules set by the gods, you can go back after three days. Don't worry, it's very simple."

"This is not simple, is it? I've heard from others that there are many dangers on this island?"

"What danger could there be? These are just rumors made up by some ungodly people. As long as you have reverence for the gods, there will be no danger. Look at me, I'm alive and well, what danger could I possibly be in?"

Li Wendong waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao glanced discreetly at the interior environment.

This two-story house is quite large, almost like a villa. Apart from the living room, there are four rooms on the first floor alone, and there must be even more on the second floor. If only a father and daughter are staying here... the number of rooms is a bit excessive.

Even including the three guests who stayed overnight, the same applies.

Fan Xiao glanced at Lu Xining and gave her a look.

Lu Xining understood and immediately picked up the conversation, asking, "I've heard there are sacrificial ceremonies on this island. I'm a little curious, can I participate?"

"What sacrificial ceremony?!" Li Wendong's expression changed. "Who told you that?"

Lu Xining blurted out, "People outside are saying it."

"Nonsense!"

Li Wendong's fiery temper flared up immediately: "What kind of bullshit sacrifice is this? The gods help us for free, so what kind of sacrifice is this?"

“I never said that sacrifices were bad,” Lu Xining said sarcastically. “Why are you in such a hurry? Are you admitting it?”

"Bastard! You're insulting us? Insulting the gods?"

Li Wendong jumped to his feet: "You are blaspheming the gods! Get out of here..."

"Uncle Li, don't get excited, don't get excited."

Fan Xiao quickly stood up, stopped him, and played the good cop, saying, "My sister has some hearing and brain problems. She often talks nonsense. Not to mention you, even I, as her older brother, am often driven half to death by her. She probably misheard. What kind of sacrificial ceremony is this? I've never heard of it. You're a magnanimous person, just ignore her and let it go."

Lu Xining: "..."

For the sake of intelligence, she endured it!

"Hmph, since she's got something wrong with her head, then you'd better keep her in check!"

Li Wendong warned, "On this island, speaking ill of the gods is a serious matter! Don't blame me if something goes wrong; I warned you."
