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

Fan Xiaomo silently put away the note, abandoning the idea of ​​erasing the flight attendant's memory.

Since it's a common phenomenon, there's no need to be so cautious—he meant that in the other person's perception, this is a common phenomenon, so the other person wouldn't suspect him of anything.

Fan Xiao himself... became alert.

"Something's not right... Only players below B-rank are affected, but my mental strength is almost on par with A-rank players, so there's no reason for me to have auditory hallucinations."

"This seems complicated. Is someone using a high concentration of illusory substance... to summon me? What kind of being could do such a thing?"

"Initial partition..."

After pondering for a while, Fan Xiao forcibly suppressed his desire to explore.

He definitely won't go to the initial zone now; not only are there multiple super players there, but also the behemoth that is the game company.

If he gets caught up in the conflicts over there... the difference between him now and cannon fodder is probably that he can struggle a little with his superpowers and the little angel.

After gathering his thoughts, he lowered his head and looked at the train floor, his attention beginning to shift.

They were moved to the tracks below the train.

The node orbit... is it made of a high concentration of fantastical matter?

If it's demolished...

……

"Attention all players, this train is about to arrive at G06 station. Please prepare to disembark."

As the announcement sounded, the time-travel train arrived at the node station named "G06".

Fan Xiao mingled into the crowd of players and got off the bus.

In the end, he gave up the idea of ​​becoming a "railway guerrilla" and did not try to take over the key tracks.

It wasn't that he was afraid of getting lost in the spacetime turbulence after the track collapsed and accidentally kicking the bucket... It was mainly his great personality and noble character that made him hold fast to his bottom line.

Soon, Fan Xiao boarded the dungeon train serving C-level players, departing from station G06 and heading to the dungeon's area.

Because he had spent a lot of time merging dungeons and creating the "Chaoge" organization, he put aside his sightseeing plans this time and did not visit the 001 section of the G06 node. Instead, he went straight to his destination.

His junior brother was waiting for him to pick him up, so he couldn't keep him waiting too long.

Yes, he has already assumed that the "third student" is a junior student.

"I hope to achieve a pure relationship with my fellow disciples and not get involved in any romantic entanglements... just like with Yu Xuezhao, to achieve a pure senior-junior relationship."

Fan Xiao silently prayed.

Hopefully, Teacher Tina won't betray him.

……

"Attention all players, this train is about to arrive at Talbot Station. Players who wish to disembark should prepare in advance."

About five hours later, the time-travel train arrived at the station in section 019.

After Fan Xiao got off the bus with the crowd, he immediately received a notification from the Evolution Game—the instance he was going to was an independent space instance, not connected to reality, and could not be found on his own.

At the same time, the 019 zone is not integrated with the ninth dimension, so it is impossible to travel directly to the real world through this station.

To enter a dungeon, you can only teleport.

“G06 node… doesn’t seem to be developing very well either? Such a high-level partition, yet it hasn’t been integrated with the dimension…”

"No, that's not right. Whether or not it can be integrated with the dimension depends mainly on whether the major forces within the partition can eventually unify. If they fight their own battles, they will never be able to integrate into the dimension. It has little to do with the node itself."

After a moment's thought, Fan Xiao chose to teleport directly.

His swaying vision quickly stabilized, and the feeling of solid ground returned. He looked up and around, finding himself in a room painted white.

The room was very large, with a high ceiling, which I estimated to be over six meters high. It was more like a large hall than a room.

At this moment, besides him, there were seven other players in the hall, five men and two women, who were wary of each other.

A man and a woman were standing in a corner, very close to each other, and they seemed to know each other.

Upon seeing Fan Xiao appear, all seven of them turned their gazes toward him and began to scrutinize him.

Upon seeing this, Fan Xiao subconsciously took a step back, his body tensed, revealing a slight sense of apprehension, his posture quite defensive and cautious.

"Don't be nervous, young man."

At this moment, a burly figure stepped forward and said to Fan Xiao in a friendly manner, "We only arrived a little earlier than you, and we don't know each other... Oh, except for them. I just asked, and they are a couple."

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed to the young couple standing in the corner.

Fan Xiao turned his head to look, somewhat surprised by the two's initiative in revealing their intimate relationship.

However, he quickly realized that not everyone was as cunning as him. When encountering acquaintances in a dungeon, or after running a dungeon with acquaintances, he would pretend not to know them and set traps for them.

It's beneficial to proactively disclose intimate relationships, as it can prevent malicious individuals from being the first to target you.

After all, you should pick the softest persimmon.

"Which division are you from, young man?" The burly man smiled and struck up a conversation in a familiar manner. "Are you a local player from division 019? Are you familiar with this dungeon?"

“I have absolutely no idea. I’m from a newly promoted division.” Fan Xiao shook his head. “We don’t have detailed information on the dungeon roster, and even if we did… I wouldn’t bother to find out.”

As he replied, he checked the time on the player panel.

3 pm.

"Oh?" The burly man chuckled. "You seem quite confident. Looks like your goal is to get a high rating. You don't look very old. Are you in such a hurry to level up?"

"Those with the ability can improve faster, so why be a tortoise?"

"..."

The burly man's eye twitched slightly.

He felt like he had been hit by this sweeping generalization.

"Let's get to know each other, my name is Neilong," he said, changing the subject.

Fan Xiao: "Fan Mida."

"Vanmida... a player who is very confident, slightly arrogant, yet cautious," Nelong thought to himself.

Arrogance is good. If you have an arrogant friend, just go along with their temper, coax them a bit, and give them a few compliments. You can easily build a relationship with them.

They'll backstab you then...

"Hehe...I wonder how it tastes?"

Nei Long almost instinctively wanted to lick his lips... He had to hold back.

at the same time.

Fan Xiao put the dagger pendant he was holding back into his storage space.

He had already checked everyone present using the secondary item, the "Assassin Identifier."

There isn't a single assassin class!

Has it not arrived yet?

Or... does this third student have a different profession?

"That shorty Tina didn't even give any specific hints... Doesn't she know either?"

"Perhaps the encounter won't happen in the dungeon, but... in the 019 section of this dungeon? Do I have to actively seek it out after clearing the dungeon?"

Fan Xiao pondered for a few seconds, still unsure which answer was correct.

"If only we could connect to Fairy Tale Town," he thought to himself.

Because he left the G08 node, he can no longer connect to his D-rank instance.

Otherwise, if Yan Keke were by his side, she could use her emotional sense to point at him and divide the people present into "good people" and "bad people" camps.

Members of the Tribunal for Life can all be classified as "good people".

Yes, he is a good person.

Needless to say.

This way, the target range can be narrowed down.

Players who become Tina's third student will definitely be in the "good guys" camp if they enter this instance.

I'm really not used to not having Cocoa Lolita...

After calming himself down a bit, Fan Xiao asked, "Are there only eight of us who have reached the instance? Has anyone left?"

He pointed to the doorway.

"Um... we can't get out of here, we've already tried."

At this moment, a young girl dressed in exquisite court attire answered Fan Xiao's question.

The girl has a pretty face and a petite figure, giving off an impression and vibe like a gentle, sweet girl.

She continued, "That door is impossible to open, and we can't damage the windows or walls. We've even tried using props, but it still doesn't work. This seems to be some kind of 'fixed scene,' which cannot be destroyed."

At this point, the girl in court attire looked slightly nervous: "If we can't get out, we might... starve to death here."

"Um...you guys are all human players, right? I don't see any animalistic features in any of you..."

The underlying meaning of her words was actually asking, "Are there any cannibalistic players among you?"

Everyone understood, but no one responded.

Revealing your player type prematurely before knowing the exact number of humans, demi-humans, and cannibals is very dangerous.

Because you don't know how many people will be eyeing you.

Even Fan Xiao has no intention of "revealing" his identity now—he is waiting for the right opportunity.

A day ago, he temporarily removed the B-grade item "Nana's Suitcase" and equipped himself with a D-grade item that had a disguise function—disguising the player's ID within its function's coverage.

Because the suitcase was removed a day in advance, the cooldown period had long passed by the time it was needed, and the item could be changed directly—essentially equipping an extra item.

This is considered a clever trick, and many players have done it.

As for why the disguise items need to be changed... since we can't connect to our own instance and can't use illusions, this is the only option.

His plan was simple—to see which side people were on.

If the combined number of players with white and gray names far exceeds that of players with black names... then he won't bother pretending anymore, lest he be caught off guard and fail miserably.

If there are only a few more players and the difference isn't significant, then he'll join the cannibalistic player camp.

Many cannibalistic players are affected by various genes in their bodies, resulting in a slight decrease in IQ and a generally reckless personality... Well, they are all good guinea pigs. With a few words of encouragement, they might just go and take the fall for him in dungeons, acting as perfect tools.

"I don't think we need to worry too much about that. We're here to clear the dungeon, what's the point of locking us up?"

Fan Xiao comforted the girl in court attire, saying, "I estimate that once the dungeon opens, the scene restrictions will be lifted, and we'll be able to leave this room."

"Yes, thank you... My name is Jinlian."

The young girl Jinlian nodded to Fan Xiao.

"Your name is pretty cool. It sounds like you're a good woman who's good at taking care of people and skilled at giving medicine..." Fan Xiao thought to himself.

"Speaking of opening the dungeon... eight people have already come in, but there's still no sign of it. I wonder how many more players will have to come before it opens?"

The burly man interjected, sighing slightly, "I hope there aren't too many people. If there are too many people, the dungeon will be big. Putting aside the difficulty, large dungeons usually hide a lot of high-level dangers."

"I hope so."

Fan Xiao echoed this sentiment.

The difficulty and danger of a dungeon are not directly equivalent.

Take his Fairy Tale Town for example. It's only a D-level dungeon, but quite a few B-level players have already perished inside. The danger level is undeniable... Well, the main danger is to him.

As for the difficulty of Fairy Tale Town... what difficulty is there in a dungeon that can be easily cleared by throwing money around?

No sooner had the words left his mouth than five more people entered the instance—three men and two women.

Fan Xiao and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Because the instance is still not open.

Is anyone still missing?

"What's going on!? Random dungeon...!?"
