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

While neither of these two props is as practical as the "mirror," they are exactly what he needs and can make up for some of his shortcomings.

It has to be said that Teacher Tina is really helpful; the teleportation item she gave him is no ordinary item.

Previously, Fan Xiao hadn't felt anything special, but after this instance, he discovered that the "Mirror's" greatest function wasn't teleportation, but defense—defense through spatial disruption.

As long as the enemy's attacks cannot affect space, they cannot interfere with him hiding in the mirror world.

The "Mirror" proved to be of great help to him in this instance; he used it to delay time in Hell twice.

If it weren't for the restriction of "not staying for long", this item... would probably be rated as A-grade.

"Fighting against an army of monsters using a mirror is somewhat similar to Obito facing Konan's 6000 billion explosive tags..."

Fan Xiao's thoughts started to wander.

He quickly composed himself and started thinking about serious matters: "A 100-meter prison, a space-sealing device... Although it can only seal off 100 meters, as long as I seize the opportunity when the enemy can't teleport, I can activate my talent and basically kill the enemy in one fell swoop... I just don't know if I can still teleport using the mirror after activating this device?"

"The travel camera solves my shortcoming of lacking long-distance spatial teleportation, and it can also take people with it to move positions... It probably won't have many opportunities to be used in actual combat, but... it can be used to escape."

"Although using dungeons to escape is the best option, dungeons are currently unavailable, and the landing point is relatively fixed, which is not very flexible... Hmm, this item is not bad. It would be even better if the restriction on not being able to transfer between different zones could be removed."

Fan Xiao quickly analyzed in his mind how useful the two props would be to him.

The conclusion is that there's no need to replace it for now; it can be used as a backup item and played a crucial role at a critical moment.

Originally, it would have been better to replace "Nana's Suitcase".

But now he has developed a new item combo skill that combines "Blood Duke" with the suitcase - by storing more fresh blood, he can unleash a powerful attack with a large area of ​​destruction when needed.

With this factor in mind, he naturally didn't want to replace the suitcase.

There are still too few item slots...

Fan Xiao turned his gaze away from the player panel and met the intensely curious eyes of his junior sister and the others.

He didn't hold back on the information, saying directly, "An S-rank dungeon rating will grant you an extra item."

"...That's it?" the hooded girl asked, frowning.

“Of course not,” Fan Xiao said. “In addition, the reward for the potion has been at least tripled—I mean based on an A-grade rating. At the same time, they also gave a million game coins. They’re quite generous with the money this time.”

While answering, he took out all 10 evolution potions he had won as a game reward and began to consume them one by one.

After consuming 10 bottles in a row, his evolution rate finally slowly increased to the limit of the C-level evolution rate range—69%.

Above that is the area where you can transform—of course, human players can't transform.

However, he could use the "Flesh Progenitor" psychic power to pretend to be a second form of a cannibalistic and demi-human player.

"From now on, pretending to be a cannibal will no longer be just for show. After all, if I want to, I can transform into a burly, muscular man anytime, and my strength will be genuine, even far exceeding that."

Fan Xiao thought to himself with a deep sense of emotion.

In the future, there will be no need to use items to disguise player IDs; the "Flesh and Blood Progenitor" can achieve this completely.

When he encounters a dungeon that seals the right to use items... he can deceive others even more easily.

"It doesn't seem like much?" the handsome young man asked suspiciously. "Compared to an S-rank rating that I've never even seen before, these rewards... aren't much, are they?"

"Perhaps you're overestimating the S-level rating?" Fan Xiao shrugged. "After all, it's only one level higher than the A-level rating, not some SSS-level."

"Uh... now that you mention it, it does make sense."

The handsome young man subconsciously felt that this statement made sense.

The rating is only one level higher, but the reward is more than three times higher, and I even got two items... That's more than enough.

"Perhaps you are lying," the hooded girl said coldly.

"What's the point of lying about something like this? Do you think I'm afraid you'll steal my things? Anyone who lies is a dog!"

After making a harsh statement, Fan Xiao looked at his junior sister and continued, "If you don't believe me, you can try challenging an S-rank yourself, and then you'll know I wasn't lying."

“An S-rank rating can probably only be obtained by running a Nightmare difficulty dungeon,” the woman with the low ponytail shook her head like a rattle drum. “I hope I never encounter a dungeon like that in my life.”

"Is that so... I do hope we can come more often."

Fan Xiao said earnestly.

The talent enhancement opportunities provided by the S-level rating are actually quite important.

As players progress into the later stages of the game, they develop a second talent and will inevitably need to continue improving it. However, by this time, the player's level has essentially reached its limit. If they don't find other ways to obtain opportunities to improve their talents, they may never be able to complete their talent fragments into psionic energy.

Killing Angels – Fan Xiao could intuitively sense that this talent was incomplete and flawed.

It has the strongest attack but no strongest defense. The master of the talent is easily targeted. Once the master dies, even if the Killing Angel has the most powerful attack, it will be useless.

Fan Xiao guessed that he might be... missing another little angel—a guardian angel.

"...This is probably the difference between us and the pros." The handsome young man sighed, "I also hope I never encounter a nightmare-difficulty dungeon. This one has already scared me!"

"Well... now that the dungeon is over, we'll be leaving."

At this moment, the woman with the low ponytail bid farewell to everyone, saying, "I hope we can meet again in other instances in the future. Farewell, goodbye."

She waved and then disappeared with her male companion.

They were all ticket players, and they must have been teleported to the station and started their return journey.

"Brother Fan, and this... Miss Hooded, I'll be taking my leave now. Hope we meet again someday."

The handsome young man followed closely behind the couple of players, bid farewell to Fan Xiao and the hooded girl, and quickly disappeared from sight.

In the vast dungeon world, only the two of them remained.

Fan Xiao looked at the hooded girl and smiled slightly, "Alsenel... what a strange game nickname."

"Much more normal than your 'seal'!"

The hooded girl said coldly, "Enough with the nonsense, you should keep your promise."

In the second cycle, this pervert saw through her game profession and some of her personality traits, which is very abnormal!

This guy said he would tell her the reason after the dungeon ended, so she decided that it wouldn't be too late to teach him a lesson after she heard it.

"What promise?" Fan Xiao asked.

“Don’t play dumb,” the hooded girl said. “Game profession.”

“Oh, you still remember… You have quite a keen curiosity.” Fan Xiao said, “There’s a reason I could tell your game class. Simply put, I was asked by my teacher to come to node G06 to find a player who plays the assassin class.”

"...What do you mean?" The hooded girl frowned.

“Literally, I’m looking for an assassin, and you’ve appeared who fits the bill,” Fan Xiao replied. “If nothing unexpected happens, you should be the person I’m looking for.”

At this point, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "I assumed you were the assassin, and then I tricked you... and it turns out you really are. That's why."

"You're looking for someone, but you don't even know what they look like or what their features are?" The hooded girl clearly didn't believe her. "With such obvious logical flaws, you don't think you can fool me, do you?"

"Okay, saying 'looking for someone' was a slip of the tongue on my part."

Fan Xiao corrected, "To be more precise, I came here to encounter an assassin player based on the guidance of my teacher, and then took him back."

"This assassin will become the teacher's third student. By the way, I am the second."

"My teacher gave me the ticket to this instance, and then I met you in the instance, who meets all the criteria. So, you are the person I've been looking for, there's no mistake."

"baffling!"

Although the hooded girl didn't believe it, she became wary.

Finding someone based on destiny's guidance... that sounds like a scam.

If this pervert really wanted to lie, he wouldn't have used such a clumsy lie.

So... these words are all true?

No, that's not right... It's also possible that the other party is playing a counter-strategy.

What a cunning fellow! He completely confuses her with what's real and what's fake.

The hooded girl remained vigilant, temporarily suppressing her suspicions, and continued to inquire, "And you still haven't told me why you can see through someone's personality?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao smiled and said, "The students that the teacher recruits, although they have very different personalities, all have one thing in common - they can pass the qualification verification of a certain auxiliary prop."

"Your student status has already been locked in advance, and you will definitely pass the qualification verification process. Therefore, you must possess the corresponding personality traits."

"So, you passed too?" the hooded girl asked.

Fan Xiao nodded: "Of course."

"...This is an insult to me!" the hooded girl said coldly. "Who would share personality traits with a pervert like you!"

“The only thing I have more of than you is lust,” Fan Xiao shrugged. “Lust and perversion are just personal preferences. They don’t affect my ability to be a good person… well, a good person.”

"shameless!"

The hooded girl gave up asking any more questions.

Whether this pervert was telling the truth or lying, she understood his purpose—to take her back.

It's already certain this guy is an enemy, and she's also harboring a lot of anger...

"Oh? Looks like you're planning to make a move." Fan Xiao grinned. "Fine, I don't think you're the type to obediently come with me..."

At this point, he was already preparing to take action.

To suddenly take action before one has even finished speaking—that is a commendable quality.

Fan Xiao directly activated the combination skill of "Blood Duke" and "Tailor Master", connecting it to the hooded girl's body, attempting to manipulate the blood in her body and make her faint.

He had to admit that his junior sister's abilities gave her a significant first-mover advantage.

But as long as the junior sister can't use it, even the most bizarre abilities are useless.

The next moment, the whole world fell silent.

The hooded girl's psychic energy was triggered by the external attack and began to operate on its own.

Under the strain of mental exhaustion, an extra period of time, not belonging to the normal timeline, was forcibly inserted into the current point in time.

During this extra time, the only person who can move around is the hooded girl herself.

The others continue to follow the original timeline, remaining frozen at their current point in time—because time has not yet moved forward.

The hooded girl gained her own quiet world.

This extra time does not participate in the main timeline and is essentially fictitious.

But her actions, once this period ends, can overwrite reality and become a real event—provided she is willing to pay the price.

The price was her lifespan.

This is her psychic power.

"You tried to ambush me... Shameless bastard!"

The hooded girl looked at the motionless Fan Xiao, a slight look of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Her psychic powers can be activated actively or triggered passively—which allows her to always maintain the initiative when facing unexpected attacks.

She immediately gripped the short sword and moved closer to Fan Xiao.

Her "fake time" is not infinite; how many seconds she can insert at the current point in time depends mainly on how much mental energy she has consumed.

Her goal was simply to teach Fan Xiao a lesson, so she didn't use her full strength—she probably only penetrated for about 9 seconds and needed to hurry up and act.

"This abnormal recovery item is very powerful. We should go all out this time, since it's impossible to kill it anyway."

The hooded girl made up her mind.

However, just as she was about 10 meters away from Van Shaw, her psychic powers once again sensed danger and activated on their own for the second time, extending the false time of insertion by a few seconds.

Feeling the drain on her spirit, the hooded girl frowned, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.

Danger...!?

Chapter 449 I'm not chickening out, I'm just making a strategic retreat

How could there be any danger?

The hooded girl felt mentally drained and fell into deep confusion.

How could danger arise during a false period of time when only she is able to move?

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
