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

"Judging from their conversation, they were confident that after rescuing the people, they could escape with them while being pursued by B-level players. If they hadn't lost their minds... then it proves that they are quite capable."

"Hmm... perhaps they could become reliable partners!"

Thinking of this, the woman with the low ponytail let go of her disguise—a disguise was still a disguise.

She transformed from a sallow-skinned woman in her early twenties into a fair-skinned, ordinary-looking young girl.

This is the appearance she often uses when she's active in the Holy Sword Alliance.

"I am a member of the Holy Sword Alliance."

The girl said to Fan Xiao and Al-chan, "You can call me Al-Sennel."

Chapter 455 Al-chan is a cut above Tina-sensei

Alsenel – Van Chau remembers, that was his junior sister's nickname in the game.

It can now be basically confirmed that the seemingly ordinary girl who suddenly changed her appearance is indeed Junior Sister herself.

Fan Xiao didn't expose her disguise and very tactfully said, "Holy Sword Alliance...? I've never heard of that organization."

"The Holy Sword Alliance is an organization that has only emerged in recent years."

The plain-looking girl reminded them, "You've come back from another district. You must have left Division 019 several years ago, right? It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"Our Holy Sword Alliance's mission is to restore Division 019 to the civilized society it was before the Great Cataclysm."

"For this reason, we have been fighting against various chaotic bases."

At this point, her tone became more bold and confident: "Chaos and order are opposites. Under the oppression of a large amount of evil, true justice will be born."

"Players are also human beings, living in human society. Faced with the sweeping tide of justice, many of them have actively joined in, just like you at this moment, yearning for the arrival of a better society."

"Therefore, our Holy Sword Alliance only took a few years to grow from a small organization to one that can contend with any base."

"The future is in our hands!"

"From what you're saying..." Fan Xiao confirmed, "You want to invite us to join you?"

“That’s a thought we’ve had. There are quite a few members within the Holy Sword Alliance who have returned from other regions and have similar experiences to yours.”

The girl said gently, "However, we will not force anyone to join; it depends on your own willingness."

"..." Fan Xiao sighed softly, "Is your organization... really reliable?"

"Why do you ask that?" the girl asked, frowning.

Fan Xiao then began his counter-strategy of playing hard to get: "This is our first meeting, isn't it? And we bumped into each other on the street."

"Facing strangers like us with unknown identities and backgrounds, without any verification process, you directly reveal your identity and recruit people..."

"If you ran into someone from a rival organization, you'd be finished."

He looked suspicious and asked, "So, are you guys really reliable?"

"Don't worry, I'm very good at judging people."

The girl replied calmly.

Where do you get the confidence to say such a thing... Fan Xiao was speechless.

He only used a little trickery and managed to fool his junior sister... And he has the nerve to say he's good at judging people?

If he didn't know the truth, he would definitely have taken that as his junior sister mocking him.

"I should have recorded it with my phone; it would probably have become great material for mockery later."

Fan Xiao thought to himself.

The girl seemed to understand the hidden meaning in Fan Xiao's expression, but she didn't pay it any mind.

She is very confident in her abilities.

Even if her judgment was flawed and she misjudged the person, she could still forcefully suppress her with her strength.

"So, what is your answer?" the girl asked.

Fan Xiao shook his head slightly: "Your invitation is too casual. If you want us to join the Holy Sword Alliance, you should at least let us meet your person in charge, right? Or... are you one of the people in charge?"

"I am one of the people in charge, and I have the authority to directly invite and approve your membership in the alliance."

The girl nodded slightly: "Of course, just to be on the safe side, I need to take you to meet my teacher, who is the head of the Holy Sword Alliance, equivalent to the leader of the alliance."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao and Al-chan exchanged a glance and remained silent for a while.

Al-chan received Fan Xiao's instructions and reacted accordingly, pretending to be silent and thoughtful.

Fan Xiao... his junior sister's words truly silenced him.

teacher……!?

Good heavens! Who's got the nerve to try and steal Tina's boyfriend?

"Oh, no, that's a bit too domineering. It should be that Tina is going to steal someone else's girlfriend."

"That Tina is shameless; she even steals other people's students."

After silently cursing his "teacher" in his heart, Fan Xiao pretended to compromise and said, "Your sincerity is good. We can go with you to see your teacher. As for whether or not to join the Holy Sword Alliance... we'll have to wait until we meet and talk."

"Okay, there's no rush."

The girl cautioned, "We're about to take action, so please refrain from any rash moves to avoid alerting the B-rank players in this base. By the way, what are your names?"

Van Helsing.

After Fan Xiao honestly stated his name, he pointed to the white-haired girl beside him and said, "As for her... you can call her Alpha."

The artificial intelligence AlphaGo... sounds like an insult, so I had to modify it slightly.

"Alpha..." The junior sister stared at the expressionless white-haired girl for a moment, then asked curiously, "What's your relationship with her? Why is she wearing a maid outfit?"

“This isn’t a maid outfit,” Al-chan replied. “Lord Van Helsing said it’s a modified version of the maid outfit.”

"...Is there a difference?" the junior sister asked.

"Maid outfits are for women who work as servants, but the modified maid outfit is a cute style of dress, a trendy look." Al-chan replied in a very serious tone, "You don't even know this? You're such an outdated idiot."

"This guy is so rude..." The junior sister frowned slightly.

She had no idea that the white-haired girl, being an artificial life form, had no concept of "emotional intelligence" and basically said whatever came to mind.

"Oh, right, here's the supplementary part."

Al-chan continued, "The modified maid outfit is sometimes used in sex games, which can greatly enhance the physical desires of some uniform fetishists."

"..."

The junior sister cast a suspicious glance at Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao met her gaze without any change in expression, and sighed softly, "Miss Alsenel, don't take her seriously. That's just her personality; she's straightforward."

"Sometimes what she says might sound offensive, but she doesn't mean to offend you. She... is just a complete idiot."

Upon hearing this, Al-chan put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Lord Van Helsing is right, I am an idiot."

"..."

Seeing this, the junior sister no longer suspected anything and suppressed her somewhat impolite speculations.

She almost thought this tall man wasn't a decent person...

Fan Xiao continued, "As for our relationship... just consider her my daughter."

"Yes, Alpha is Lord Van Helsing's daughter."

Al nodded emphatically in response.

She seemed to agree with this statement.

Fan Xiao was her creator, and in a sense, he was indeed her father.

They were even closer than her father.

"She seems... not very bright?" the junior sister asked carefully.

"Don't have too many expectations of idiots."

Fan Xiao shook his head and got down to business, saying, "Now that we've introduced ourselves, would you mind telling me what you're planning to do next?"

"From what you just said... it seems you're planning something big at this base?"

"I can't tell you this, you're not considered members of the Holy Sword Alliance yet."

The junior sister didn't budge.

Although she was confident in her abilities and unafraid of being tricked, that was a different matter from revealing her plans.

"Could you tell us about the A9 base?"

Fan Xiao changed his tune and asked, "Alpha and I just arrived here, and our understanding of this base is limited to the basic information we've gathered from the locals."

"You just said... there are 5 B-level players in this base?"

"I heard that this base was created by three B-level players."

"At the beginning, there were indeed only 3 B-level players."

The junior sister nodded and said, "Two of them died in the dungeon later... or perhaps they simply left the 019 section. In any case, after a certain dungeon run, they never returned to the 019 section."

"Of the initial three B-level players, only Charles remained. He is also the strongest player in the A9 base."

"The four new B-level players that appeared later, one of whom came from another region and was named Mi Yan, and the other three grew up in this base."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Of these three, two were trained by the conglomerate at the base's top level. One is named Ralph, and the other is named Beaton."

"The last one, who gradually climbed up from the ranks of low-class citizens, was named Maren. He was the most arrogant and unscrupulous of the five."

"Why is the person who climbed up from the bottom of society the most arrogant?"

Al asked his junior sister, "Shouldn't he be the most cautious one?"

"There are rumors that he used to be quite cautious, but since becoming one of the five strongest people in the base, he has become unscrupulous."

The junior sister showed a look of disgust and said, "The resurgence of slavery in the A9 base is his doing. He is also the one behind the slave trader guild."

"Didn't he climb up from the bottom?" Al-chan continued, "Why is he so cruel to his fellow countrymen at the bottom?"

"Compatriots? You're overthinking it!"

The junior sister scoffed, "In this guy's eyes, lower-class citizens aren't his compatriots."

"Most people who can climb out of the worst environments do so with sheer grit and determination, and naturally don't have any lofty or righteous mentality."

"Once such a guy gains power, all those suppressed desires will be unleashed in a concentrated burst, making him more ferocious than anyone else."

"This is actually quite normal."

While responding, Fan Xiao also lectured his daughter, saying, "Many people don't actually hate the conglomerates, but rather they hate that the conglomerates aren't themselves."

"They haven't done anything wrong yet, not because they are noble, but because they haven't had the opportunity to do anything wrong yet."

"Truly noble people are always a minority. Most people are just followers who are swayed by their environment. Once they have the opportunity to unleash their true nature, they become new financial groups."

He shook his head slightly and got back to the point: "We've gotten a bit off-topic. Charles, Miyen, Ralph, Beaton, Maren... five B-level players, can you handle them?"

“As I just said, the Holy Sword Alliance is no longer the small organization it used to be.” The junior sister reminded her again, “Our ultimate goal is to restore the world to the order of the pre-civilization era, and we will not stop at the small A9 base.”

"Is it……"

Fan Xiao remained noncommittal and continued, "Do you know how the A9 base was established... I mean, where did the fantasy material used to build this safe zone come from?"

"When I left, Zone 019 was still relatively... well, backward. And building a safe zone requires a lot of fantasy materials, which is a huge expense. How did three B-level players manage to scrape together that amount of money?"

Upon hearing this, a rare look of doubt appeared in the junior sister's eyes: "Many people are wondering about this, but they have never been able to find the answer."

"Even how the original A1 base was established remains a mystery to this day."

"When Base A1 appeared, we didn't even have any B-level players in our division, while the fantasy materials from the various fusion divisions were always selling for exorbitant prices..."

"Perhaps only the ruler of Base A1, that A-level player, knows the truth of everything."

She paused, then shook her head and said, "It's too difficult to spy on A-level players. This is a good opportunity though. We can try to capture the ruler of A9 base and interrogate him to find out what's going on."

"I'm really starting to worry now. Was it the right choice to agree to go with you to see your teacher?"

Fan Xiao suddenly sighed.
