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

"How did I offend her? I was just trying to make her happy, it wouldn't cause any trouble at all."

Fan Xiao curled his lip: "The person in question hasn't said anything, and you're going to stop someone from finding happiness just to satisfy your obsession with props? How can you be so selfish?"

"..."

The hooded girl was so confused she didn't know what to do.

Did... she make a mistake?

Can selfishness be understood in this way?

"Nonsense!" The hooded girl's chill deepened. "To deceive a little girl's feelings, you have no shame whatsoever!"

Life is short, so enjoy it while you can.

Fan Xiao glanced at the wooden house and said, "They don't have much time left to live. Letting them be happy before they die is a good deed."

"..."

The hooded girl was silent for a few seconds before asking, "You don't want to save them?"

"Oh? So that's what you're struggling with." Fan Xiao laughed. "That's a rather cute idea."

Realizing the hooded girl was on the verge of going berserk, he quickly stopped teasing her and asked seriously, "What do you think is the most significant danger from the outside world for players?"

"Kay..."

Just as the hooded girl was about to utter the name of the true King Caesar, she suddenly realized that this was only a minor crisis and not the most serious danger.

As long as he doesn't kill ordinary humans, he won't have any dealings with the true King Caesar.

Even if one accidentally exposes their power to ordinary people and is marked as a "demon" who has trespassed into human territory, they will only be captured and imprisoned by Caesar, and their life safety will still be guaranteed.

Therefore, this can only be considered a minor crisis.

But the real crisis...

She thought for a moment and replied, "A battle between two kings?"

"To be precise, it was Caesar the True King who went mad with guilt after the War of the Two Kings."

Fan Xiao added, "He has the potential to destroy the entire outside world. Players will most likely be unable to resist him, and the only way to survive is to flee to hell."

"And hell... if you stay there too long, the result is the same, it's also death."

"Without finding the 'Tomb of Guilt,' we only have two ways to clear the game: one is to kill players from the opposing faction and steal their reincarnation chances."

According to his previous calculations, if he wanted to clear the dungeon by playing dumb, he would have to kill all the opposing faction members during the first cycle and concentrate all the numbers on himself.

Alternatively, you can sit back and watch the other players fight it out, then go and harvest some kills to accumulate more points.

If that's still not enough, then go to hell every now and then and make good use of the 15x time flow to slowly accumulate seven days of survival.

"And the other one?" the hooded girl asked.

“The other one…” Fan Xiao laughed, “Weren’t you struggling with whether or not to do it?”

"You mean interfering with history to save the Demon King's two daughters?"

The hooded girl reacted instantly.

If the Demon King's two daughters can be saved, the war between the two kings will not happen, and the outside world will naturally remain safe.

But... could the dungeons really make life so comfortable for them?

Up until now, this dungeon has been incredibly difficult, so there's no reason for it to suddenly become easier here.

"It seems you have thought of it too."

Fan Xiao saw through the hooded girl's thoughts and nodded, saying, "Guessing the methods the Celestial Race and the Demon Race will use to deal with the Twin Kings isn't actually that difficult. Perhaps other players can't deduce it like I can by directly using 'putting themselves in others' shoes."

"But... if they go to the demon race's territory to capture some prisoners and interrogate them, slowly gathering intelligence, they will probably eventually figure this out."

"At this point, they can come to the conclusion that as long as they save the Demon King's daughter, they can nip the final crisis in the bud."

"Isn't this too easy?"

He concluded directly: "So I guess... history cannot be changed because it is already in the past."

"We can only observe and experience as bystanders, but we cannot change or reshape it."

"Hmm... I don't know how this 'unchangeable' characteristic will manifest itself."

“What if you guess wrong?” the hooded girl asked.

"I wouldn't mind if you rescued them."

Fan Xiao shrugged: "Changing history and causing conflict might lead to new gains."

"With reincarnation as a safety net, we can boldly test the waters."

"But now..."

He sighed softly, "Let's spend some time with them and make them a little happier in their final moments."

The girl was silent.

……

The hooded girl ultimately accepted Fan Xiao's suggestion.

Previously, she was worried that developing too many feelings would affect her actions... Now that this lolicon pervert told her that she could choose to save people or not, she no longer had any concerns.

The four of them stayed in the cabin and cooked a sumptuous fish feast lunch together.

After the meal, Melissa asked the hooded girl to play games with her. This time, the girl did not refuse and even lifted her hood, showing a more serious attitude.

Fan Xiao took the opportunity to observe his junior sister's appearance. She was very pretty, but... her hair color was a little strange.

Mixing black and white together is like trying to dye your hair a "shamate" or "non-mainstream" style... or even a punk style, but the dyeing fails and it becomes a hodgepodge.

It looks pretty funny...

Fan Xiao seized on this and made a suggestive joke, giving the girl the nickname "White Tiger," and slapped his thigh to laugh out loud. As a result... he was glared at fiercely by the girl with murderous eyes.

He wisely refrained from further mockery, took out a deck of cards, invited Lina to join him, and they played a card game around the table.

He chatted with the twin sisters while playing cards.

His humorous and witty conversation, along with his seemingly endless stories, immersed the two sisters in a joyful atmosphere, making them happy for the entire afternoon.

It wasn't until 4:20 PM that the time came.

……

The sound of armor clashing softly rang out. Fan Xiao and the hooded girl, who were gathered around the dining table, simultaneously stopped their game, got up, and went outside the wooden house to look downstream along the river.

The C-level evolution rate granted them superhuman vision, allowing their eyes to penetrate the gaps in the trees and spot the faint shadows of an approaching army.

The hooded girl's expression changed, and she quickly said to Lina and Melissa inside the house, "You..."

"You all need to get out of here"—before she could finish her sentence, she was forced to stop.

My body... I can't move.

She can't even move a finger, let alone speak.

Fan Xiao, standing to the side, was the same; he couldn't even frown, his gaze fixed on the direction of the woods, only able to watch the army gradually approach.

He noticed that many soldiers' standard weapons were stained with fresh blood, and judging from the direction they came from... something had most likely happened in Longxi Village.

Dungeon rules!

The dungeon rules restricted them, and the mental pressure felt as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on them.

Not only were they unable to move, but their spirits also weakened to the extreme, rendering them unable to function and even losing the strength to support the activation of their talents.

Is this... a forced storyline to enter the game?

Chapter 435 I curse this world!

Fan Xiao felt the suppression brought by the dungeon rules and secretly assessed the situation in his mind.

To use one's talents or psionic abilities normally under these restrictions, one would conservatively need a mental strength of A-level.

Even someone as close to A-level mental strength as him felt it was incredibly difficult.

To activate his talent... unless the little angel disregards his current extremely weak state and jumps out on his own initiative.

"I've encountered this situation before in the D-rank dungeon, Wangxiang Town, but this time the suppression is much stronger. Not only are there no items available, but even my talents are suppressed."

Fan Xiao wanted to frown, but couldn't.

Only thought can move.

Both he and the hooded girl fell silent.

Strangely, Lina and Melissa, who were inside the house, did not seem surprised by this.

They didn't even pay attention to this side, as if they had entered some kind of forced plot and forgotten the illogical parts of the story.

It wasn't until the army approached and the clanging of armor outside became loud enough for ordinary people to hear that they realized what was happening and ran out in a panic to check the situation.

When they saw an army of over a hundred men surrounding the cabin, they were startled and stood frozen in place.

The fresh bloodstains on the soldiers' weapons sent a chill down their spines.

"Two little girls...this..."

Some soldiers hesitated upon seeing the target.

They all deliberately ignored Fan Xiao and the hooded girl standing at the door.

At this moment, the leading knight gave the order: "Didn't we kill enough children just now? Let's finish this quickly! Clear this place out before Obsidian City can react."

"Soldiers, do not hesitate! It was the people of Obsidian City who first destroyed our villages and slaughtered our people."

"We're just retaliating, getting back at them in kind!"

"Stop your pity! This is war!"

Hearing this impassioned speech, Lina and Melissa were already pale with fright, but they finally came to their senses.

"Run!"

Lina pulled Melissa along the river toward the back of the cabin, trying to enter the nearby jungle and use the complex terrain to escape.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers at the forefront roared, dispelling their hesitation with their shouts, and drew their swords to give chase.

A moment later, a sharp, agonizing scream came from behind the wooden house.

The pursuing soldiers quickly returned to their unit.

The leading knight entered the cabin and inspected it inside and out.

After finding no one else hiding inside, he ignored Fan Xiao and the hooded girl at the door, walked out of the wooden house, and gave the order: "This area is cleared. Let's move on! Head to the next location."

Soon, he led a group of a hundred people away from the riverside wooden house.

Even now, Fan Xiao and the hooded girl are still bound by the rules.

The hooded girl was shocked and angry, but she couldn't show the corresponding expression. Her body remained in the same posture she had when she went out to investigate the situation.

About ten minutes later.

A tall figure moved with lightning speed through the woods and arrived at the riverside cabin.

It's Carmen the Demon King.

The Demon King's face showed anxiety. His nose twitched slightly as he smelled blood. His expression changed drastically as he looked towards the jungle behind the wooden house.

He immediately moved closer to that direction, but after taking a few steps, he stopped and hesitated.

After a good ten seconds, he suppressed his fear, swallowed hard, and mustered his courage to walk toward the jungle.

Every step felt incredibly heavy.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao and the hooded girl both guessed what would happen next.

Just as they expected, "Ah—!!!"

A furious roar filled with despair suddenly rang out, its force shaking the air and vibrating the mountains and forests, the shockwaves of which blasted nearby trees away by the roots.

The riverside wooden house was not spared either, collapsing amidst the furious roar and turning into ruins within seconds.

Fan Xiao and the hooded girl were also hit by the shockwave, blown away, and crashed onto the riverbank.
