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

Fan Xiao remained in the manor and waited patiently.

Around noon, the saintess and Sakura were the first to return to the manor.

"How did it go?" Fan Xiao asked.

“They were mostly intercepted and dealt with, but… Sakura and I compared the results from Mammon’s side and found that nine people were not killed. These nine people… must have escaped from the station we were guarding.”

The saintess sighed softly, "Although we've been camping out at the station, the platform is too long, and there are too many players going up and down the dungeon. Some are coming from your 010 zone, some are coming back from other zones, some are coming from other zones to participate in the dungeon, and some are returning to other zones after clearing the dungeon... There are too many people and they're too densely packed, so we can't take care of everything."

"Nine... it's no big deal." Fan Xiao said indifferently, "You've done a great job. To stop everyone, you'd have to restrict all the players in the station, which would not only be too much work but also easily offend people. Let them escape if they want."

He had already killed over a thousand, and the mere nine who escaped were still within his acceptable range.

"I'm sorry, darling, I'll make it up to you in another way," the saintess said softly. "You can start thinking of your wishes now, well, even something a little lewd is fine."

"I will find and deal with those who escaped one by one."

At that moment, a voice with a slightly cold tone rang out.

Yu Xuezhao appeared in front of Fan Xiao and the other two at some point.

"We're going to find them in another district?" Fan Xiao asked, surprised. "Is that possible?"

"We have specialized tracking tools. Within the same node, knowing the name and appearance, finding the person is only a matter of time."

Yu Xuezhao's gaze fell on Fan Xiao's face. After answering the question, she reminded him... or rather, educated him: "Junior brother, when dealing with enemies, you must eliminate them completely and leave no future troubles. Your attitude is wrong and you need to change it."

"..."

As expected of Tina's student!

It seems that my senior sister possesses a very high-level tracking item.

It could be Grade A.

Being hunted down across zones by an A-level player using A-level items... If these nine escaped people knew they would be treated this way, they would probably be able to die with a smile on their faces.

Chapter 397 So you're an assassin too?

After promising to take responsibility for dealing with the nine escaped players, Yu Xuezhao shifted her gaze from Fan Xiao to the Saintess and Sakura.

Since there were no outsiders present, neither of them wore masks for the time being.

The saintess's perfect posture was displayed, and her bewitching allure deeply captivated people's hearts, making them unable to resist indulging in this excitement and infatuation.

An angelic face and a devilish figure—she embodies this description perfectly.

Even Yu Xuezhao subconsciously glanced at it a couple more times.

Of course, my senior sister was not affected at all.

The mental defenses of an A-level player are no joke.

Suddenly, Yu Xuezhao made her move.

A badge bearing the image of the goddess of justice appeared in her hand, and with a flick of her finger, she sent it flying toward the saintess.

Upon seeing this, Sakura's expression changed, and a short blade immediately appeared in her hand. She threw it precisely at the flying badge, trying to knock it down.

After throwing the dagger, she didn't stop. Her shadow flickered, and she disappeared from her spot, appearing beside Yu Xuezhao.

Whoosh—The eight-sided sword gleaming with silver light behind Yu Xuezhao flew out automatically to meet the attack. In a flash, it pierced through space, and the blade pressed against Ying's slender, snow-white neck—that was how it was supposed to be, but Ying suddenly escaped into the shadow space and then appeared behind Yu Xuezhao.

Her talent activated, predicting five seconds into the future, allowing her to dodge the Eight-Sided Sword's suppression in advance.

"Ok?"

Yu Xuezhao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a ripple of emotion stirred in her calm eyes, as if the other party's resistance had aroused her dissatisfaction.

The silver light on the eight-sided sword became even brighter.

*Crack*—The short blade aimed at the badge was instantly shattered into ashes by the silver light.

The saintess was startled and quickly reminded her, "Sakura, don't be impulsive!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the badge of justice passed through the ashes and landed on her fair forehead—she did not resist.

At that moment, Sakura, who had moved behind Yu Xuezhao, stopped moving.

It wasn't that the saintess's reminder had any effect.

Instead, Sakura suppressed her urge to buy more time for the person she was supposed to protect to escape after seeing that the badge offered no resistance.

Yes, she attacked Yu Xuezhao not because she thought she could defeat her, but because she wanted to attract her attention and create an opportunity for the Holy Maiden to leave.

However, the person she was protecting neither ran away nor resisted... What could she do?

Continuing to attack would not only be pointless but would also result in injury, so she made a rational choice—in the five seconds she predicted in the future, she only dodged the sword attack once before it pressed down on her neck, draining all her strength and leaving her severely injured, kneeling on the ground.

This future changed as she stopped moving.

The future predicted by her talent is not a fixed future that will definitely happen.

The future holds infinite possibilities. She can foresee the most likely outcome and take proactive measures to guide the situation in a direction favorable to herself, leading the future down other possible paths.

"Yes, it's acceptable."

Yu Xuezhao ignored Ying's rudeness and took the badge back from the saintess's forehead.

She has received feedback—she is qualified to be a saint.

"Are you an assassin?"

At this moment, Fan Xiao also realized what was happening and cast a rather unexpected glance at the Holy Maiden.

He was genuinely a little surprised.

Game professions aren't assigned based on a player's personality, but rather on their life experiences before becoming an Evolver.

If the saintess is an assassin, then it means she has done assassination-related things in the past.

Ah this...

I never imagined that someone with such delicate features like willow-leaf eyebrows, peach-blossom eyes, and a slender waist would be an assassin... It just goes to show that appearances can be deceiving.

“Yes,” the saintess smiled slightly, “don’t you think that with my appearance, I’m quite suitable for carrying out a seduction-based assassination operation?”

"What did you do for a living before you became an evolved being?" Fan Xiao asked curiously.

“I’m so happy that you’re finally interested in my past.” The saintess kept smiling. “However… it’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it in private.”

"She wasn't the only assassin."

Yu Xue Zhao suddenly reminded Fan Xiao of something.

She turned around, looked at Sakura behind her, and flicked the badge with her finger again, sending it flying towards Sakura's forehead.

Sakura frowned but did not resist.

Fan Xiao's senior sister is very tough when it comes to doing things. If she resists, she will likely face strong suppression from the other party.

Since we can't beat the opponent and the badge isn't in danger... let's just give up on unnecessary actions and avoid a future where we'll be humiliated and beaten to a pulp.

The testing of the badge of justice was completed quickly.

Yu Xue Zhao nodded: "Okay, you've passed too."

"What's this badge for?" Sakura asked instinctively.

Yu Xuezhao did not answer, but looked at Fan Xiao: "Junior brother, explain to them afterwards and confirm their wishes."

Fan Xiao nodded.

Sakura was an assassin, which didn't surprise him much.

After all, that cold demeanor looks just like...

He asked Yu Xue Zhao, "Senior Sister, can you tell if other players are assassins?"

"Huh? Wasn't that badge used to identify assassins?" the saintess asked in surprise.

I'll explain it to you later.

After reminding her, Fan Xiao continued to look at Yu Xuezhao.

Yu Xuezhao nodded slightly: "There are special auxiliary tools for the assessment of assassin professions. I brought one for you this time as well. My teacher asked me to give it to you."

"We don't have many of these kinds of items in stock. The teacher didn't bring any extras when he came to node G08 last time, so we didn't give them to you."

After saying that, she handed Fan Xiao a delicate, small dagger-shaped pendant.

After Fan Xiao received the notification, he immediately received a game notification.

[Secondary Item: Assassin Identifier]

In order to recruit members more efficiently, the Living Tribunal used its authority to apply to the Evolution Game for the targeted creation of secondary items for assassin class identification.

[Note: After activating this item, it will lock onto one player as the target. If that player's class is Assassin, you will receive a notification from the item. If the player's class is another class, there will be no response.]

"This tool... is quite convenient for helping with recruitment."

The name is simple and straightforward enough...

Fan Xiao fiddled with the dagger pendant, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The Life Tribunal, the authority, the ability to request the creation of secondary items in the game... these words seem to conceal some very interesting information.

and also……

Since both Saintess and Sakura are assassins, why didn't Teacher Tina recruit them into the Court of Life when she was in Roman City?

"Wait, the effect of this item needs to be actively triggered, not passively triggered. If Tina isn't interested in the Saintess and Sakura, she naturally won't use the item to actively test them. Back when she was a count, she always refused to see the Saintess whenever she came to visit because she found it troublesome..."

"Or... she actually detected it, but didn't really care. Not every assassin is worth her personal recruitment."

Fan Xiao recalled the scene when he first met Tina on the train... Tina suddenly appeared in the seat opposite him, and her first words were - not every assassin is worth her personally coming to her door.

I guess Tina is only interested in special people.

Actually, he felt that the saintess's abilities were quite special... Perhaps it was because he was a man that he thought so?

Fan Xiao composed himself, prepared the props, and put them away.

The secondary items don't take up an item slot, which is quite convenient.

However, similarly, secondary items generally do not have any combat effect and are used in some special places.

At that moment, the air in the courtyard trembled slightly.

Fan Xiao and the others looked in the direction of the noise and saw Yu Xuezhao's little follower suddenly appear in the courtyard—that is, the girl with the gentle and lovely temperament.

"Senior sister, aren't you going to introduce her?"

Fan Xiao glanced at his senior sister, then looked at the cute girl.

The young woman took a step forward and said to Fan Xiao with a slight smile, "Young master, you can just call me Youbai. I am the young lady's maid."

“Young master… young lady… maid… truly has a style that is… well, nostalgic.”

Fan Xiao's tone was slightly wistful.

“Miss and I both come from node C04,” the maid Youbai revealed. “Compared to your history and culture, node C04 is roughly equivalent to your ancient society.”

"Rather than ancient times, it's more like... a fantasy/martial arts genre, isn't it?"

The saintess then joined the conversation: "I've heard that most world partitions over at node C04 are in this style; that's the main theme there."

"Even the items that players over there obtain are basically in line with the Xianxia style in terms of appearance, function, and background description. Players using flying sword items can be seen everywhere."

"Perhaps... the creation of the props is related to the history, legends, and so on of the nodes, so all the props over there are in the corresponding style."

“Indeed,” Youbai nodded slightly and said, “Miss Qiu is indeed very knowledgeable.”

"Oh? You know me?" the saintess asked in surprise.

These days everyone has been busy with assassinations and has hardly communicated with each other. Moreover, Yu Xuezhao only arrived here four days ago and hastily organized and launched the operation, skipping the self-introduction process.

If Fan Xiao hadn't told her, she probably still wouldn't know this senior's name.

“I mentioned you guys when I contacted my senior sister before.”

Fan Xiao, on behalf of Youbai, explained the sentence to the saintess.

Then, he turned his gaze to Yu Xuezhao and asked, "Senior Sister, do you know how props are created?"

“The props originate from history, stories passed down through generations, and various legends,” Yu Xuezhao replied. “Their creation process is related to ‘gods’.”
