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

Li Xian explained, "If we were to directly integrate into the Beijing municipal area, the local residents of Beijing would essentially gain residency permits directly, which would be extremely unfair to others."

“In peacetime, such a biased policy might not be a big deal, but the situation is different now. Players and ordinary people are divided into classes based on strength. Now, players are obedient because the Special Affairs Bureau is suppressing and controlling the situation, but…”

"What if a player within the Special Affairs Bureau develops disloyalty due to unfair treatment? The Special Affairs Bureau isn't just in Beijing; it has branches in over 600 cities across the country, with members scattered all over the world."

"Therefore, in the first safe zone, we have decided to leave all the slots open for allocation, with priority given to the families of Special Affairs Bureau members."

"Won't this cause any problems?" Fan Xiao cautioned, "It's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality."

"Currently, the Special Affairs Bureau doesn't have many members. Relocating the families of all members will only take up a small portion of the slots, essentially a priority channel for military families. The remaining slots will be allocated randomly."

Li Xian said, "There are still quite a few problems with doing this, but fortunately the domestic evolution game incident has not been fully exposed yet, so the situation can still be controlled."

"In the time to come, we just need to acquire more fantasy materials and build a larger safe zone."

"In the future... we will most likely imitate the style of the 001 Division, making concentrated use of fantasy material resources to build a super city that can accommodate hundreds of millions of people at the same time."

It's too early to talk about the future.

The situation will definitely become more and more chaotic in the future, and it's hard to say whether it will develop smoothly.

So Li Xian briefly mentioned some future plans and then ended the topic.

He brought up another thing: "We're offering you 100 free spots, 25 homes in the safest central area."

"The company office area has also been prepared for your Uncle Song Jianbai. You can start the moving process soon."

"100 spots?" Fan Xiao confirmed.

“We’ve investigated your network of contacts, and 100 should be enough,” Li Xian replied. “Of course, if you think that’s not enough, just name your number, and we’ll coordinate to redistribute them.”

"100...you're putting me in a difficult position." Fan Xiao sighed softly, "Where am I supposed to find 100 relatives and friends?"

Fan Xiao fell into deep thought. Apart from Song Jianbai's family, it seemed that... he didn't have any other relatives?

My father left 10 years ago—not that he died, but simply got divorced and left. I haven't been in contact with him since.

Nine years ago, when his mother, Wang Zhenzhen, called to demand 1000 yuan a month in child support, she was immediately blocked from all contact methods.

It seems the other person has moved on with their life and wants to completely sever ties with the past.

After seeing through the other person's character, Wang Zhenzhen gave up her hopes and began to give the 14-year-old a "complaining education"—that is, "Your father is a scoundrel, he has no sense of responsibility as a man! No, this kind of bastard does not deserve to be your father"...etc.

Having been influenced by what he saw and heard, Fan Xiao had previously followed his father, who had hated him.

As his thinking matured with many experiences, and he witnessed more darkness and crime, his heart became completely unmoved.

If we're talking about relatives, there's only his mother's side left... Wang Zhenzhen is an only child, and her parents have long since passed away. He's never met his maternal grandparents, and he's lost contact with the rest of his relatives... With a hundred spots available, looking around, Fan Xiao didn't know who to invite for a moment.

A wave of sadness washed over him... cough, he seemed to be overthinking things, Fan Xiao quickly stopped himself.

"or……"

Fan Xiaochao suggested to Li Xian, "I only need a small portion of the quotas, and just a few residential units. How about you convert all the extra quotas and properties into game currency and return them to me?"

"..."

Silence fell between the two.

On the other end of the phone, Li Xian was momentarily at a loss for words...

A strange feeling arose in his heart—it was like he invited a friend to go out to dinner, but the friend not only didn't come, but also asked him to just take out the money needed to treat the friend to dinner and transfer it to him proportionally.

This……

Li Xian asked, "Are you short of game currency?"

“Yeah, I’m really short.” Fan Xiao’s tone became heavy when he talked about this: “Because of something, I owe someone a lot of money. If I can’t pay it back, I might have to use other things to pay off the debt.”

“You don’t seem like the type to honestly pay back your money,” Li Xian said. “I’ve looked at your file. You’ve taken out a lot of money from illegal online lending platforms before, and you never paid it back in the end.”

"...You guys investigated very thoroughly, even digging up such old dirt?" Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "I remember I did it very discreetly."

“My intelligence gathering skills are quite good,” Li Xian said.

“Ahem… Actually, I’m usually quite trustworthy,” Fan Xiao said earnestly. “It’s only when I’m dealing with unorthodox or shady dealings that I become less concerned with chivalry.”

“The Special Affairs Bureau doesn’t have any game currency to give you back right now,” Li Xian said. “You were there when the Special Affairs Bureau was discussing the business of fantasy materials with the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Righteous Church. You should know that we owe the Heavenly Righteous Church a lot of money, right? There’s still a large sum waiting to be repaid. We don’t have any extra money to give you.”

"Even the landlords don't have surplus grain..."

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "I know. The conversion to game currency was just a joke. Don't take it seriously. I didn't really intend to ask you for money."

"Ah."

Li Xian echoed in response.

Although he didn't believe the other party's nonsense at all, that didn't stop him from responding with agreement.

Saying nice things doesn't cost anything, so why bother?

“I will try to arrange the spots first,” Fan Xiao said, “but I definitely won’t use them all. I will return any extra spots to you.”

“Sure,” Li Xian replied, “I’ll call you anytime if there are any problems.”

……

Two days later.

Lu Xining and Lu Baizhi, along with their families, arrived at the safe zone named "Lingjing City" in the southern part of Beijing.

Upon arriving at the villa area in the central district, Lu Xining glanced at the house number, nodded to her family, and said, "Let's choose this one."

"This building isn't very good, Xi Ning."

Lu Xining's mother is named Gao Jingshu. She is a beautiful woman with a long dress and few signs of aging on her face. Her slightly lowered eyelids give her eyes a sharp and noble look.

Gao Jingshu frowned slightly and pointed to another villa not far away, saying, "This one and that one are too close together. What kind of villa is built like this? What was the designer thinking?"

"Xi Ning, didn't your friend give us the right to use five apartments? There's no need to choose ones so close together, is there?"

Lu Xining's father was tall and had a refined demeanor. Although he was well over forty and had fine wrinkles on his forehead, he still gave off a handsome feeling... It was a mature and steady handsome style, and he could be called a handsome old man.

If Fan Xiao were there and saw it, he probably wouldn't be surprised at how exquisite and beautiful Lu Xining is.

Excellent genes.

Lu Ming... who is Lu Xining's father, smiled and said, "Let Bai Zhi choose. She is our family's lucky star. Maybe she can pick out the best feng shui house for us just by walking around a few steps."

"Dad, why do you still believe in this stuff?" Lu Baizhi shook her head: "Let's listen to my sister and choose this building."

"Is there any reason?"

Gao Jingshu looked at Lu Xining and asked.

The eldest daughter has always been very opinionated and steady in her actions, so she shouldn't make any rash choices.

There used to be only one residential building here, the one on the left.

Lu Xining said, "The other building was built in the last two days with extra effort. I won't explain how it was built; you already know about the evolution game, so just think of it as some kind of superpower."

"In short, the fact that these two houses are so close together is intentional."

“My friend chose the building on the left and set up security measures there. We live closer to his house, so it’s safer.”

"I was wondering why the design was so strange; now I know there was a reason for it."

Since it was for safety reasons, Gao Jingshu naturally didn't object, nodding and saying, "Then let's choose this place. After we've taken care of the other trivial matters, we'll move here, and then..."

Her gaze fell on her eldest daughter: "Xi Ning, why don't you invite your friend over too, have a meal together? It's time for them to meet."

"Mom, Fan Xiao is also my friend, not... not just my sister's."

Lu Baizhi suddenly mustered up her courage and said.

Gao Jingshu: "..."

Beside him, Lu Ming's refined gaze suddenly turned sharp.

This……

what happened?

Could it be...

"You and Bai Zhi go in and look at the house first. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying goodbye to her parents, Lu Xining turned and left quickly.

"Wait," Lu Ming said quickly, "Xi Ning, don't go yet, I have something to ask you."

As if she hadn't heard her father's voice, Lu Xining unleashed her C-level player's physical abilities and disappeared in just a few steps.

Let Lu Baizhi handle the explanation.

She didn't mind her sister embellishing the story, portraying herself as Fan Xiao's "official wife," and getting their parents to accept this identity.

Anyway, she had no intention of becoming the "official wife".

She sees herself as a lover.

"Sister, don't go..."

Lu Baizhi tried to follow, but Lu Ming grabbed her arm.

A strange heaviness appeared in the old father's kind smile: "Bai Zhi, it's been so long since Dad had a heart-to-heart talk with you..."

……

"Xiao, it's all arranged."

After finding Fan Xiao, Lu Xining recounted what had happened.

After listening, Fan Xiao remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "What kind of role did you give me to your own family? Is it really just as you say, a friend?"

"Ah."

"Then why... did you invite me to your house for dinner? It sounds like a dinner to discuss marriage."

"When the family saw their daughter, who has androphobia, suddenly make a proper male friend, they were naturally very happy and wanted to celebrate."

"Really?"

"Well, really."

After Lu Xining finished answering, she paused slightly and then changed the subject, saying, "But things might be different after today. In their eyes, you'll probably become Zhi Zi's boyfriend."

"..." Fan Xiao felt an urge to facepalm and reminded her, "Zhi Zi is still a high school student."

"Hmph, this kid's head is full of lewd thoughts. Lately, he's been pestering me with all sorts of questions, all of them vulgar and offensive."

Lu Xining sold his sister without any hesitation.

“I mean,” Fan Xiao explained, “wouldn’t your parents consider someone who lays a hand on a high school student a psychopath? Is it really okay for you to give me this kind of characterization?”

Chapter 403 Edge

Influenced by his upbringing, Fan Xiao is still quite traditional when it comes to matters of the heart.

For example, he rarely did anything to Lu Baizhi, at most just holding her hand, even though he had already accepted being a scumbag.

It wasn't that he was a particularly upright gentleman, but rather because... Lu Baizhi was a high school girl, and not yet an adult.

“High school students these days have a lot more fun than they used to,” Lu Xining comforted Fan Xiao. “Don’t worry, Zhi Zi isn’t an ordinary person; she’s a player, not one of the typical high school students. My parents will understand.”

"Why can't my role be your boyfriend?" Fan Xiao asked. "Wouldn't that be more reasonable and convenient?"

Lu Xining is a college student, after all. Getting married during college now even earns extra credits.

No one will say much about college students dating.

Her family must be more than happy for her to be like this.

After all, she has androphobia, which makes finding a partner a big problem.

“I don’t care about these empty titles. It doesn’t matter if I give them to Zhi Zi, so that she won’t have bad luck after she throws a tantrum.”

Lu Xining explained, "And this way... it's even more exciting."

"..."

Fan Xiao pretended not to understand.

“Having an affair with Zhi Zi, with whom I have a formal relationship, is very exciting,” Lu Xining said.

“You don’t need to repeat yourself,” Fan Xiao sighed softly. “Ever since I met you, I feel like I’m turning into a freak myself.”
