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

Without hesitation, Fan Xiao and his three companions chose to teleport away immediately.

Players who are directly drawn into the instance will land in the same location they entered after being teleported out.

That is, the fraud base that was converted from an abandoned factory.

"Finally out!" Mercury breathed a sigh of relief. "I never expected this kind of trick to happen at the last minute! These bastards, are they crazy for killing people?"

"Fan Xiao, your evaluation is B?"

Lu Baizhi looked puzzled.

Her own rating was C, which is not hard to understand, and even somewhat exceeded her expectations.

After all, she and Xiao Mo were carried to victory the whole time, only playing in favorable situations and not experiencing any major crises. Getting a C rating is already quite good.

But shouldn't Van Chau have received an A rating?

After all, he had gathered all the intelligence from scratch and completed all the dungeon missions...

and many more!

intelligence……?

"Could it be..."

Lu Baizhi looked surprised.

"It seems you've already thought of that."

Fan Xiao could tell from Lu Baizhi's expression that she had seen through the truth.

He nodded to the girl and said, "We're essentially entering the instance with some built-in intelligence. We know some of the reasons for the formation of 'Utopia' and some of the logic behind it from the beginning, such as information about scammers and victims. Having such a significant intelligence advantage before the instance even starts will definitely affect our final score."

"So... have you leveled up?" Lu Baizhi asked with concern.

“It’s been upgraded,” Fan Xiao nodded. “D-level players probably get a bonus when entering C-level dungeons.”

To upgrade from D to C in 5 runs, you need to get 5 consecutive A ratings.

However, this accumulation mechanism seems...not absolute?

Although he only got a B this time, it allowed him to advance to the next level.

The possible reason is that lower-level players receive a certain bonus after clearing higher-level dungeons.

For example, a B rating can be used as an A rating, accumulating in the number of dungeon runs needed for upgrading.

"Li Xian".

Just then, a crisp and efficient shout rang out.

A tall woman with fair skin and a ponytail walked over with a brisk and decisive manner.

Once she got closer, she took the cigarette out of her mouth, threw it away, stomped it out, and asked, "How is it?"

Behind her followed Du Ruo, Cao Shuai, and Luo Hao.

Behind the three was an unfamiliar face, who was probably also a member of the Special Affairs Bureau.

“It’s resolved,” Li Xian replied. “The traps can be put away now. Let’s head back. Oh, by the way…”

He looked at Fan Xiao: "What happened to the group of people you took in with your spatial items before we entered the instance?"

"They're all fine. I'll let them out once we get to a safe place."

Fan Xiao replied.

Once outside, he was able to reconnect to his instance.

With dozens of loli girls protecting me, my sense of security immediately increased.

"Did you send my muscular buddy back?" Fan Xiao asked Du Ruo.

"Yes, I've been back in Ancheng for two days..."

Du Ruo paused abruptly before she could finish her reply.

Not only him, but everyone else also tensed up, looking around with serious expressions and surprise in their eyes.

Suddenly, unfamiliar figures appeared all around, as if they had jumped out of thin air.

Their faces were blank, and a hint of malice flickered in their eyes as they stared intently at them.

"Zhao Yu?"

Du Ruo looked at one of the strange figures and recognized its identity.

It was Zhao Yu, a member of the Black Snake organization who had been secretly plotting against Fan Xiao. He belonged to the Zhao family of China. When he was first drawn into the instance, Fan Xiao snapped his neck.

I can't believe it actually came back to life!?

It seems that players who die in dungeons really do become ghosts!

At this moment, Zhao Yu was staring at Fan Xiao with a sinister look, a strange smile curving his lips.

"This situation... is really interesting."

Fan Xiao also curled the corners of his mouth and summoned the "Fairy Tale Town" instance.

In an instant, he connected with Yan Keke's A-level psychic energy, the Land of Delusion.

Using his mental power, which was close to that of an A-level player, as his energy source, he spared no effort in expending his power, using his spiritual energy to create illusory flames that enveloped Zhao Yu.

Without the protection of a physical body, Zhao Yu, who only appeared as a spirit to try and scare Fan Xiao, quickly lost his composure and screamed pitifully amidst the raging flames.

In just a few seconds, his spirit collapsed from the burning pain, burned into nothingness, and completely disappeared from this world.

This scene surprised everyone.

The two new members of the Special Affairs Bureau had not been through the "Utopia" instance, but Du Ruo and the others knew how troublesome the spirit monsters in the instance were.

Now that Fan Xiao has just come out and his items have just been unsealed, he can kill these kinds of monsters with ease. It seems that he possesses a mental attack item of a very high level.

"The situation has changed, we should retreat first."

Li Xian glanced at the ghostly figures gathering around him and quickly said, "Let's evacuate Wa City first. This city is no longer safe."

Green numerical symbols appeared in his palm, creating multiple flying skateboards from the abstract to the concrete.

Seeing the skateboard flying towards them, no one refused. After stepping on it to stabilize their bodies, they were carried into the sky and quickly left the urban area of ​​Wa City.

"How could this happen? Did the ghosts in the dungeon escape?"

Mercury frowned as he watched the city's silhouette shrink. "Special life forms in dungeons rely on the dungeon's rules to survive. Logically, they shouldn't be able to move around in the material world. Our real world doesn't allow things like ghosts and monsters to exist!"

"Perhaps the rules of 'Utopia' have spread to the entire Wa City."

Fan Xiao speculated, "Before the copy was formed, there were all sorts of ghostly figures appearing in Wa City, so the current situation is not that surprising."

"I estimate that these ghostly things can only operate in Wa City, since only this place is associated with the birth of the 'Utopia' copy."

"Moreover, before the copy was created, we did not hear of any ghost stories in other cities."

The spirit life form that is clearly bound to the instance can move around the entire Wa City - this range is very abnormal!

The group of lolis and those illusory creatures in his "Fairy Tale Town" can also leave the instance and go out to play, but the maximum distance they can go is no more than 100 meters. This is only the data after his instance was upgraded.

The ghost townspeople of "Utopia" have such a huge range of activities!

Perhaps... it's related to the fact that Wa City is the place where the duplicate was formed?

"What do we do now? Will the ghost townspeople who have rushed out go on a killing spree?" Lu Baizhi asked. "Should we go and rescue them?"

"It shouldn't come to the point of indiscriminate killing of innocent people."

Li Xian speculated: "The Ghost Town residents kill people to prolong their time in the Sacrifice Spirit Town. Presumably, this delay rule will only take effect when the dungeon is open; otherwise, the direct conflict between the Ghost Town residents and us players will be gone."

"It would be pointless for them to rush to Wa City and kill people indiscriminately now, so their purpose in going out is likely revenge, and they will probably choose fraudsters as their targets."

"We were just at the fraud base, and we were probably mistaken for someone else, which is why we were being targeted."

There isn't much basis for this speculation.

What he really meant was—mind your own business.

With so many ghost townspeople pouring out, rescuing people would be extremely risky; if surrounded, one could be torn to pieces on the spot.

It makes sense to go to the rescue if something happens to someone on your side.

It's unnecessary to risk your life for a stranger.

"The day of the spirit worship has passed more than halfway, and these ghostly things only have 7 hours of activity time."

Fan Xiao then said, "After this, all the Ghost Town residents whose delays failed will be dragged back to the world of the dead, so the chaos will probably only last for a short while. However..."

He looked thoughtful and said, "The Spirit Festival is said to be once a year, but the actual time should be based on the time when the instance opens."

"In other words, this situation will happen many times within a year."

“Even if it’s not the day of the spirit worship ceremony, there are ghosts in the spirit worship town at other times, and they will come out.”

"This place will probably become a ghost town in the future, attracting visitors from all over the world."

"The rules of the instance have affected the real world... That's an interesting phenomenon."

"The phenomenon of copies affecting reality is not uncommon, but it is only the first time it has appeared in our 010 section."

Li Xian frowned slightly, his expression unusually serious.

“A ghost town…” Mercury asked Vanshaw, “If this place really becomes a ghost town, are you sure anyone would still come to such a horrible place?”

Yes, literally a "ghost place".

Ghostly townspeople are appearing everywhere.

"You saw Zhao Yu's figure just now. He died in the dungeon, but his spirit remained."

Fan Xiao replied, "The current Wa City is shrouded in the influence of the 'Utopia's' copy rules, and it may also follow these rules."

"The spirits of those who die on this land may merge into the instance and become one of the instance's creatures. This alone is enough to attract countless people from all over the world who want immortality."

At this point, he shook his head slightly and said, "Unfortunately, this can hardly be considered a blessing. Although you have gained a different kind of immortality, you have become a slave to the dungeon and will suffer in the world of the dead. You might even be killed by some player in the future."

“There should be a limit to the number,” Li Xian speculated. “Otherwise, the number of Ghost Town residents would expand indefinitely, and the instance wouldn’t have enough space to accommodate them.”

"Maybe."

Fan Xiao did not refute.

His "Fairy Tale Town" has a limit on the number of mythical creatures, and the upper limit is related to the level of the instance.

"Zhao Yu... this guy shouldn't be considered a victim, right?" Mercury raised a new question: "Why did his spirit also merge into the instance?"

"Maybe the dungeons aren't picky about what they eat, but I can't really guess the exact reason."

Fan Xiao said, "All I know is that if things continue like this, once the number of these 'non-deceived ghosts' increases, the rules of this instance will definitely change."

"Perhaps even the background of the dungeon will change. The only thing that will remain unchanged is probably the supernatural style."

The flying skateboard carried everyone to the outskirts of Wa City, away from the danger zone.

Looking down at the distant city from their vantage point, everyone felt a sense of awe, as if the world was about to change.

The city is ruined.

Of course, this place may also become more prosperous due to its special dungeon rules.

The premise is that the people who come here are not afraid of ghosts, nor are they afraid of dying at the hands of ghosts.

This is the biggest instance disaster that has ever occurred in the 010 section since the advent of the Evolution game, and it will surely be recorded in history.

After today, countries around the world will surely realize the importance of establishing safe zones.

Without safe zones, a single instance going berserk could potentially destroy an entire city.

No country can afford such harm.

Fan Xiao frowned, feeling that he had suddenly become a hot commodity in other people's eyes again.

After this incident, the prestige he established by killing people will probably no longer be able to deter the wolves around him who are eager to devour him.

We have to be ruthless and take drastic measures!

If that's the case, then let's kill everyone in the world who was involved in this scheme.
