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

Therefore, revealing the information about the "six-hour cooldown time" is not a big deal; on the contrary, it can mislead others.

In this particular instance, lying is taboo, and he doesn't lie, which makes the situation even more misleading.

"Then let's wait six hours."

Li Xian nodded, agreeing to the suggestion.

He had already witnessed Fan Xiao's talent, and as a trump card, he was indeed reassuring.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Xiao and his three companions set off for the outskirts of town.

The townspeople were unwilling to reveal the location of their deceased relatives' graves, so the villagers had no choice but to go out and find them themselves.

Fortunately, the graves scattered around the town were not difficult to find. The four of them found three graves without much effort and dug them up to examine them.

The grave was empty.

……

At 5 p.m., Fan Xiao and his three companions, who had dug up more than 20 graves, packed up and returned to their eldest sister's house.

My older sister is back and is cooking in the kitchen.

Without any reservations, Fan Xiao and the other three began discussing the matter directly in the living room.

"More than twenty of them only contained clothing, with no remains or ashes. It was definitely not that simple."

Mercury looked puzzled: "Spirit Town isn't small for a dungeon, but as a human settlement... it's actually not that big."

"Ultimately, it's classified as a town, but how big can it be? Where in town do you think the remains of the dead would be hidden?"

“We don’t know for now,” Li Xian replied. “However, the fact that the grave is empty confirms our guess—bringing back the remains of the deceased and letting them return to their ancestral home should be the way to achieve the third mission condition.”

"It seems we can only wait until the memorial day."

Lu Baizhi also shared her opinion, saying, "Fan Xiao, you two previously made a guess—on the day of the memorial service, wherever the ghosts return from, that's where the remains of the dead are hidden."

"Now that we've verified there were no remains in the grave, shouldn't that indirectly confirm the correctness of this hypothesis?"

"Well... there is actually another trick to finding the remains. It makes sense in logic, but I'm not sure if it will work in reality."

Fan Xiao thought for a moment and said, "We can try it first, and if it doesn't work, we can wait for the memorial day."

"what way?"

Mercury was the first to react to Van Chau's words.

He glanced at Lu Baizhi subconsciously, then looked away and asked, "Are you letting your little girlfriend find her way by luck again?"

"Xiao Mo is so good with words..." Lu Baizhi thought with delight.

Fan Xiao replied, "This method can also be tried, but the place where the remains are hidden might be in another dimension, and Zhi Zi might not be able to find it. As for luck, you know, it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't. This is not the method I'm talking about."

If he saved up a few days' worth of luck to give Lu Baizhi a brief blessing, and concentrated all his luck on one thing, the little girl would have a pretty good chance of finding the place where the corpses were hidden.

But now he dares not activate his superpowers casually in the dungeon anymore.

Too dangerous.

"What exactly is the method?"

Mercury gave him a urging look that said, "Stop keeping me in suspense."

Fan Xiao had no intention of keeping people in suspense and immediately replied, "We can intimidate the 'liar monster' and scare it away, then follow it and find its lair."

“‘Scammer Monster’ is an extension of the role of scammers in Wa City in the game. After the scammers kill the victims, they usually just find a nearby place to dump the corpses.”

"Based on this, we can infer that the place where the corpses were hidden should be the same place where the 'liar monster' usually stayed."

After explaining the method, he explained the underlying principle: "We now have the identity of law enforcement officers. Based on the logic of this identity setting, it is normal for the 'fraud monsters' to be afraid of us. Fear is logical and has nothing to do with whether they are rational or not. Since their role is defined by this logic, following the logic should be their instinct."

“We’ve never seen them afraid of us before,” Mercury reminded us. “These guys even came and attacked us before.”

“You yourself said it was an attack,” Fan Xiao shrugged. “Hundreds of vicious fraudsters against four policemen, do you think the former would be afraid?”

"..."

Damn! That makes sense!

But are these monsters really that intelligent? Do they even discriminate based on numbers, bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

Mercury felt his thinking was becoming somewhat rigid.

"It should be feasible."

Li Xian then interjected, saying, "'The Scam Monster' is a character extension of a scammer in the game, and its behavior follows the reactions a scammer should have, which is quite reasonable."

"However... this method is only logically sound; whether it will work remains to be verified."

"In that case... let's give it a try. Anyway, we have no other choice but to wait for the day of the spirit offering."

"If you have no objections, let's try it tomorrow morning."

Fan Xiao checked the time on the player panel and said, "There are only two or three hours left until dark. In such a short time, the chances of us encountering a lone scammer monster are very small."

"In that case, why not try another method first and rely on luck to guide us?"

At this point, his gaze fell on Lu Baizhi: "It's up to you, Zhizi."

"Um... I'm not sure I can find it."

Lu Baizhi said without much confidence.

When they were searching for the leader of the Black Serpent organization, they were all in the same town in the same space, so there was a good chance of bumping into each other. Not to mention that she had specifically searched for him by luck... She was confident that she would find him at the time.

but now……

When the "deceitful monster" is not attacking the player, it is most likely staying in another dimension.

The spaces are all different, so she naturally wasn't very confident that she could find it accurately.

What if they can't find it? Will it make Fan Xiao unhappy...?

*Snap*—Fan Xiao's right hand suddenly rested on Lu Baizhi's head, gently stroking the girl's soft hair.

Lu Baizhi looked up: "Fan Xiao..."

“If we can’t find it, then it’s Xiao Mo’s fault. He was the one who suggested this method just now.” Fan Xiao laughed. “You’ve been worrying about Xiao Mo in advance, and now you’ve failed. How can he bear it? Even if he has a thick skin, he can’t take it.”

Mercury: "..."

If we weren't outmatched...

"Well, let's go then."

Lu Baizhi glanced at Mercury's very displeased expression and smiled slightly, amused.

……

Fan Xiao guessed right; other dimensions aren't so easy to find.

The four spent more than two hours searching the town, led by Lu Baizhi who threw wooden sticks at them.

Other players encountered quite a few, but found no trace of the alternate dimension.

Clearly, the difficulty of this matter exceeded the limits of Lu Baizhi's luck.

Fan Xiao wasn't too surprised by this.

Looking at Lu Baizhi's experience in dungeons, she rarely received high ratings... you could even say she never did. She always played it safe and steady, hovering around C, and she almost never got an A rating.

This also means that her completion rate for tasks in each instance is actually not high.

Of course, corresponding to this somewhat mediocre dungeon rating is that she always clears dungeons with ease, rarely encountering danger, and even when she does, it's only minor and easily handled.

Only when she was with Fan Xiao would she encounter more difficult dungeons and face crises beyond what she had faced before. At these times, with the tall guy in front of her, she didn't need to worry much and remained very safe.

Safety—her luck seems to have always been on her side, protecting her safety.

As for the minor strokes of luck in other events, they are more like occasional ripples of good fortune. Therefore, when actually using her lucky traits, she cannot do as freely as Fan Xiao and have her wishes fulfilled.

Otherwise, given her normal luck level of being able to eliminate Fan Xiao's 12 days of bad luck, finding another dimension should be a very simple matter for her.

Luck seemed to have worked its magic to keep her safe.

This is more like... a blessing.

Fan Xiao noticed this and began to have some guesses.

However, the time and place were not right, so he did not think about or explore the matter in depth.

During their search for another dimension, Fan Xiao made Lu Baizhi wish in her heart to encounter a lone "liar monster," but her wish did not come true.

It's probably very rare for the "Trickster Monster" to act alone in this instance.

Left with no other choice, the four of them rushed back to their eldest sister's house before nightfall.

"We can't find the path to the other dimension, and we haven't encountered any lone monsters. It seems that this third mission condition won't be so easy to achieve."

Mercury sighed softly, "I wonder if we'll be able to meet him tomorrow?"

“It was just a trial anyway, so there’s no need to have too high expectations,” Fan Xiao said. “If this method doesn’t work, we can wait for the Spirit Festival. At that time, the path to the world of the dead will appear as the dead return.”

"The world of the dead must be very dangerous, right?" Lu Baizhi asked Fan Xiao, raising her voice with a question.

"A place teeming with ghosts is bound to be dangerous."

Fan Xiao nodded and guessed, "However, the degree of danger should be linked to the goodwill we accumulate."

"Since the current search methods won't work in the short term, let's try our luck while building up goodwill."

"Hopefully we can find our destination before the Day of Remembrance."

"That's all we can do," Li Xian said. "It's getting late, let's part ways here."

After saying that, he left with Mercury.

He didn't force Fan Xiao to team up with him tonight because he was no longer worried about Fan Xiao's safety.

All four of them had met the requirements for the first dungeon mission and could leave at any time. Moreover, Fan Xiao possessed such a powerful attack talent... If he could still die unexpectedly, the probability of other players surviving would probably be close to zero.

It's just a C-rank dungeon, how could there be so many unknown dangers?

Li Xian is very reassured.

……

After the two left, it quickly got dark.

It was still early before lights out, so Fan Xiao turned on the living room light and looked at Lu Baizhi, who was standing awkwardly to the side, and said in a deep tone, "Zhizhi, we should go to bed."

"...Huh?" Lu Baizhi was taken aback: "Are we...are we going to sleep together?"

Fan Xiao did not answer the question directly, but said meaningfully, "Tonight will surely be a hot yet warm night, which is something to look forward to."

Upon hearing that Fan Xiao was driving on the spot, Lu Baizhi's blushing face showed a hint of hesitation.

She instinctively and pathetically said, "Um... only one person can stay in one room. If... if we break the rules, we might be attacked by the ghost townspeople, and our plans will be ruined."

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

I really want to punch myself!

She actually... refused such a great opportunity!?

“Hmm, you’re right.” Fan Xiao’s lips curled up slightly. “We haven’t verified whether it’s safe to share a room at night. In that case, it’s better to sleep separately, just to be on the safe side.”

"Um……"

Lu Baizhi, oh Lu Baizhi, how could you be so pathetic... The girl thought about her own weak reaction and became angrier and angrier.

But because of her shame, she dared not express her true feelings, and she was extremely conflicted.

Fan Xiao glanced at her, the smile on his lips deepening.

On a whim, I wanted to tease the other person, and I didn't expect it to be so funny.

He just wanted to test just how much thicker the little girl's skin had become.

Previously, when Mercury kept calling her "girlfriend," this girl didn't seem to care about correcting him at all, accepting and taking the title for granted.

The result...is this?
