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

"Hmph, what a hypocrite."

Lu Xining ignored Fan Xiao's remark and said, "Xiao, let's go out and have fun tonight."

"Your family members were with you..."

"Just don't let them find out."

"..."

"There's a new pose I want to try."

"..."

Fan Xiao almost got sidetracked, but he eventually calmed down and got down to business, saying, "Yesterday I asked Li Xian for the Special Affairs Bureau's information and looked at it. I found that the frequency of random dungeons robbing people is getting higher and higher. You guys should hurry up and move over in the next few days. Once you get into the safe zone, you'll feel more at ease going into dungeons with your home secured."

Of the quota and residence allocated to him by the Special Affairs Bureau, he gave a small portion to Lu Xining.

Lu Xining's family is similar to his; they have very few close relatives... mainly because they had a falling out a few years ago during the "Lu Xining kidnapping incident."

Therefore, they don't need many spots.

After allocating the quotas, he also contacted Li Xian and asked him to arrange for the construction of two houses no more than 50 meters apart for his family and Lu Xining's family to live in.

Although doing so would expose him to Lu Xining's family, these trivial family troubles are nothing compared to his safety.

Yes, safety—he planned to shelter Lu Xining's family under his own copy as well.

You can open the dungeon entrance within the safe zone.

The safe zone, built with fantasy materials, does not possess any defensive capabilities.

The safe zone exempts players from random dungeon raids; this is a privilege granted by the game.

Or rather, it's a kind of marker.

In the marked region, the probability of a random copy being randomly generated there is reduced to zero.

Therefore, people living in the safe zone do not need to worry about being suddenly swallowed up by a randomly appearing dungeon entrance one day and experiencing a life-or-death situation.

In other words, a safe zone can prevent passive defense.

But it's impossible to defend against proactive players like Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao himself is the anchor of Fairy Tale Town. Using himself as a coordinate, he can summon random entrances to the dungeon to his side at any time.

Therefore, wherever he goes, the dungeon entrance can extend there as well.

"After Xiaoyu and the others move here, we will move Fairy Tale Town to this safe zone so that it overlaps with the space above their residence."

"In this way, the entrance and exit can be connected to the residence again, and Coco and the others can come out normally and provide protection when needed."

Fan Xiao mentally checked his safety arrangements.

Once the creatures in Fairy Tale Town leave the instance, the maximum distance they can currently travel is only about fifty meters. This distance limit will continue to increase as the instance level increases.

Once the level is high enough, it might be able to directly cover an entire safe zone.

At that time, there will be no need to worry about family members encountering any danger.

Because many people's entire lives are spent within the confines of a single city.

As long as family members don't wander off, they will continue to be under his protection.

Apart from this, no dungeons will be created inside the safe zone.

Therefore, the phenomenon of a ghost town like Wa City will not occur.

“I’ll make the arrangements as soon as possible.” Lu Xining nodded and asked, “Is there anything else after the move? If not, I’m going to do a dungeon run. Staying at home for too long has slowed down my leveling progress.”

"There's one more thing—merging the dungeons. After the merging is complete, we might need to hold a meeting. In terms of time... it shouldn't be too long, probably in the next few days."

After answering the question, Fan Xiao invited Lu Xining, saying, "Alright, let's take a look around the safe zone and inspect the situation here carefully. After all, this will be our home from now on."

"Ah."

Lu Xining nodded, naturally took Fan Xiao's hand, and walked forward.

As they walked, she went from simply holding hands to interlocking her fingers with Fan Xiao's.

After holding it for a while, she released it, her fingers lightly circling in Fan Xiao's palm, as if teasing him.

"..."

Fan Xiao glanced at Lu Xining and made up his mind to give her a good beating that night.

Take the props from her and then wreak havoc on them!

They tortured her until she was dehydrated and fainted!

at the same time.

Not far from where Fan Xiao and Lu Xining were, a group of five people stopped and watched them walk away.

The five of them breathed a sigh of relief once Fan Xiao's figure was out of sight.

"What a close call! I didn't check the almanac before I went out today, and I actually ran into this jinx!"

The speaker was a pretty girl with a ponytail.

Her ponytail was shaped somewhat like the tail of a swallow.

Beside the girl with the ponytail was a young man with a buzz cut.

He said with lingering fear, "Luckily, he didn't find us. I didn't want to be killed without knowing why."

"Chen Yuan, what you're saying is way too exaggerated," Yan Kening said speechlessly. "Fan Xiao isn't that kind of person."

"Tell those words to the major player organizations that suffered heavy losses!" Chen Yuan's fearful eyes didn't diminish: "More than a thousand players died... most of them were C-level players. This is an incredibly ruthless person! I even dared to threaten to teach him a lesson in front of him... How could I dare?"

“I’m just giving you a friendly reminder,” Yan Kening said, “What you’re doing now is basically talking badly about someone behind their back. After all… publicly, Fan Xiaoke has never admitted that he was behind the massacre.”

"..."

Chen Yuan immediately shut up.

Yes, the five-person team that saw Fan Xiao and Lu Xining off were all members of the Assemblies who had come to the safe zone to check on the situation.

Yan Kening, werewolf Xu Yao, swallowtail girl, Chen Yuan, and... the president of the Ashu Society, a composed middle-aged man.

"President, why didn't you go up and say hello?"

Yan Kening suddenly turned her gaze to the middle-aged man and said, "If you want to get involved in the fantasy matter business, that was a good opportunity to strike up a conversation."

"Yeah, President, why were you just standing there without moving?" Chen Yuan asked. "Aren't you going to go and introduce yourself? You're being too passive. When will you ever be able to make big money in the fantasy material business?"

"President, say something."

The swallowtail girl also said.

Middle-aged man: "..."

Damn it! Don't expose my struggles!

Those bastards...

“You all…it seems you harbor some resentment.” The middle-aged man sighed. “I was only considering the interests of the Assyrian Order back then.”

"One of our vice presidents has been driven to despair by you, President."

Yan Kening reminded him.

"..." The middle-aged man's eye twitched: "Gentlemen, can you stop pinning all the blame on me? That guy was killed because he was caught doing something underhanded. What does that have to do with me?"

At the time, the senior members of their Assemblies were organizing a small meeting.

During the meeting, a B-level player suddenly broke through the wall and tortured a vice president to death right in front of them.

He still remembers that scream to this day.

"Alright, stop getting emotional. I admit my previous proposal had serious flaws, but that's in the past. Why keep bringing it up... Can't we just get back to normal?"

The middle-aged man continued, "Don't forget we're here to scout out the safe zone and buy accommodations. Hurry up, or someone else will snatch them up first."

Fan Xiao is terrifying.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

……

after one day.

On the tallest building in the very center of the safe zone.

Li Xian surveyed the entire Lingjing City while listening to his subordinates' reports.

"The list of family members of the Special Affairs Bureau members has been compiled and notified. The relocation work can begin today."

"Random slots are being distributed continuously, and the city will likely be overcrowded in a few days."

"Representatives have been sent by all the major domestic gaming organizations..."

"Someone from overseas has contacted us, revealing their intention to buy a spot and stay in Lingjing City. Director Li, what should we do?"

"..."

Li Xian shifted his gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window, turned around, and looked at his subordinates: "They all rejected us from abroad. We don't even have enough rooms for our own people, so how can we sell them any spots?"

"In the days since the quotas were distributed, Lingjing City has become a mixed bag, and some trouble is likely to break out."

"Pass the word down that no one should run dungeons for the time being. Stabilize the overall situation. At most, it will be back to normal operation in a month."

"Ok."

After the work report was completed, most people left the office.

Only Li Xian, Mercury, and Cao Shuai remained in the room.

Mercury looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and sighed, "Spirit City...we finally have our own safe zone."

"As the saying goes, one step ahead leads to another. Perhaps... in a few years, we will be able to represent the entire 010 division, establish a game government, gain recognition from game companies, and integrate with the Ninth Dimension..."

Seeing that Li Xian and Cao Shuai were both looking at him in silence, Mercury quickly waved his hand: "It's just a thought, don't worry, I'm not getting carried away."

"You're not getting carried away. With me here, it's only a matter of time."

At this moment, the voice of a fourth person sounded inside the room, causing Li Xian and the other two to subconsciously tense up and become alert.

However, recognizing the familiarity in the voice, they relaxed their guard slightly and looked towards the doorway of the house.

Fan Xiao had already appeared there without anyone noticing.

"Do you know this is a government building? You can't just barge in like this?" Li Xian asked Fan Xiao.

"Don't be so rigid, I need to talk to you."

Fan Xiao pointed to the ceiling and said, "I'll be waiting for you up there."

"May I sit in on the proceedings?" Mercury asked tentatively.

What is Fan Xiao's purpose in suddenly coming to see their deputy director?

He was genuinely curious.

"Are you sure, Xiao Mo?" Fan Xiao laughed. "If you dare to listen, I don't mind if you come along."

"...I thought about it and decided against it."

Mercury pondered for a few seconds and then chose to give up.

Judging from the tone of the other party... it doesn't sound like anything good.

Two minutes later.

The roof of the building.

Li Xian found Fan Xiao standing on the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the street scene of Lingjing City.

He cut to the chase and asked, "What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao withdrew his gaze, turned around, and said in a somewhat serious tone, "I am assembling a team to fight against the enemies from beyond the heavens."

"..."

That sounds familiar... Li Xian said expressionlessly, "If you came here just to joke around... sorry, I have a lot of work to do."

"Don't rush me, let me make a joke to ease the tension and help you relax so I don't scare you later."

Fan Xiao's smile had a slightly mysterious feel to it.
