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

There should be surveillance cameras inside the house, which is why he was very cautious.

If he encounters anything amiss, he will go back to sleep and pretend to be dead.

As long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, the people in the second campus will at most glare at him, which won't cause any harm.

Fortunately, he happened to be assigned to the same equipment room as the young Fan, which saved him the trouble of looking for each other.

Fan Xiao approached the young Fan and carefully observed his physical condition.

The boy's sleeping face was etched with fatigue, his brows furrowed, as if he were having a nightmare.

Looking at "himself" in this posture, Fan Xiao frowned slightly, a strong sense of doubt arising in his heart.

Without a doubt, in order for the human experiments to proceed smoothly, young Fan was injected with an evolution agent and has become an evolved being.

Fan Xiao remembers clearly that he officially became an Evolver more than two months after the Evolution Game descended upon the G08 node 010 partition.

The time period in this memory world is nine years different from his own... no, if you include the time he has spent since the Evolution Game came along, it has been almost ten years.

Ten years ago... he became an evolved being?

So how did he manage to starve for ten years and survive until the game was released?

"My current memories should be fine. If this instance can easily alter my memories, then I might as well not play it. Since I'm not wrong, then the world is the one that's wrong."

"So... either the world of memories is showing me a false past, or... I did become an evolved being 10 years ago, but eventually turned back into an ordinary person."

Fan Xiao made two guesses.

I've never heard of anyone who, after becoming an evolved being, could turn back, abandon that identity, and return to being an ordinary human.

This isn't child's play!

The evolution rate can only increase; there has never been any sign of it decreasing... Anyway, Fan Xiao has never heard of it or seen it.

Therefore, the first guess is the most likely.

but……

Fan Xiao's intuition leaned towards the second guess being the correct answer—that he had indeed gone back to his old ways and become an ordinary person again.

This might be difficult, even impossible, for other evolved beings, but for him...

The human body is constantly changing, including growth, metabolism, and changes in brain neurons and other tissues during learning.

His ability to successfully use his luck points was based on this "theory of change".

It generally takes a lot of practice over time for an ordinary person to evolve to a certain physical state where they have mastered a skill, such as becoming a fighting master or a coding guru.

He can use up his luck, skip the struggle, and let his body "coincidentally" change to the state it was in when he mastered the relevant skills.

In this way, the skill is learned.

Fan Xiao guessed that he might have been passively protected by this ability, and that he "coincidentally" regressed from an evolved being to a normal human body, eliminating his hunger and the urge to attack other creatures.

Although the rate of evolution involves not only the body but also the mind, the principle is the same.

"That should be it."

Fan Xiao observed the boy for a while longer before returning to his own bed.

For the next period of time, he assumed the identity of "Ye Wenhao" and patiently waited for the change to occur.

Two days later, this change truly arrived.

……

On August 9, 2014, humans observed a solar flare.

Intense solar gas and charged particles surged forth, forming a solar storm traveling at millions of kilometers per hour, sweeping across the entire solar system.

The largest solar storm in history penetrated the atmosphere of Earth, swept through Ancheng, and paralyzed some of the city's electronic equipment.

A major disaster struck.

The "Sunshine Training Academy," located directly below the storm, was the most severely affected. All of its sophisticated electronic equipment was burned, directly impacting human trials, which had to be suspended.

The entire training school was engulfed in a flurry of remedial work.

Dr. Zhuang has temporarily left the school, apparently to receive new equipment.

At the same time, some unfriendly comments targeting Sunshine Training Academy appeared online.

Several parents spoke up, saying that their children had gone to the training school and never came back, and they only suddenly remembered it today.

Many people were terrified and called the police.

The authorities took the incident seriously and dispatched a number of people to the training school to conduct a detailed investigation.

Parents who came to question the situation surged in, and the first campus immediately descended into chaos.

Ultimately, the human trials were exposed.

This caused an uproar, like an earthquake.

The authorities intervened, intending to take control of the school. Then, a mysterious force appeared and began to suppress the intruders with strange power.

The two sides entered into a confrontation.

The bursts of gunfire startled many ordinary people inside the school.

In the chaos, young Fan and many other awakened experimental subjects dragged their weakened bodies and escaped from the training school.

……

8 month 10 day.

Ancheng, Tianhu District.

Beneath a slightly old and dirty bridge pier, the young man clutched his stomach, his expression contorted: "So hungry...so hungry..."

The evolutionary instinct to eat began to manifest in him.

He approached the lake and drank the water repeatedly, hoping to alleviate his hunger.

But it had no effect whatsoever.

"Sister...where are you...did you escape that terrible place...?"

Looking at his disheveled reflection in the lake, the boy's eyes became extremely confused.

Why...why did this happen?

Why do supernatural forces exist in this world?

Moreover, it has fallen into the hands of a group of villains!

Is this a joke played by God...?

Young Fan really wanted to go back to the training school to find his sister, but when he thought about the pain he had experienced in the past few days, the courage he had finally mustered was completely shattered.

That place...it's terrifying!

We absolutely cannot go back!

I'll be tortured to death when I get back!

I can't go home either!

Going home will definitely cause trouble for my mother...

"what do I do……?"

Young Fan slammed his fist into the ground, venting his emotions.

However, the more he hit himself, the more lost and desperate he felt.

Soon, his complex emotions were overwhelmed by hunger.

"So hungry...so hungry..."

"Um...bread, would you like some?"

Suddenly, a pleasant, childlike voice reached the ears of the young man.

He looked in surprise toward the sound and saw a little girl who looked to be about eight years old.

The little girl had delicate features, wore pigtails, and had a cute face, though she was a bit chubby and slightly plump.

She held a bag of bread in her hand, and when she looked at the young man, her eyes darted away, as if she wanted to do a good deed but was also a little shy.

"Thank...thank you!"

The young man snatched the bread, tore open the packaging, and wolfed it down without any regard for his image.

Seeing this, the little girl took out another apple from her schoolbag, handed it over, and said, "Um... brother, eat slowly, there's more here."

After a less-than-elegant meal, the young man felt a lingering hunger and a feeling of fullness in his stomach, and fell into a state of contradictory self-doubt.

He's clearly full, so why does he still feel so hungry...?

What the hell is wrong with him?

"Isn't that... enough?"

The little girl's question brought the boy back to his senses.

"Sorry..." the young man asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It's not in my schoolbag anymore. I... I'll go buy you some, brother, wait a minute."

The little girl took out her somewhat deflated but cute purse, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally ran out.

The young man called out to her, "Thank you... What's your name?"

This question made the little girl, who had only run a few steps, stop.

She turned around and politely replied, "Brother, my name is Lu Baizhi."

……

"I see……"

Fan Xiao, who was secretly observing from a distance, understood everything after seeing the little girl appear.

It turns out that this is where he met Lu Baizhi.

Lu Xining once mentioned that her younger sister was a chubby little girl when she was little and was bullied by boys... Well, she was indeed a bit chubby, but she looked quite cute.

"Solar storms, the sudden return of memories to the victims, official intervention... all these things happened too coincidentally. If nothing unexpected happens... it must be the laws of the universe protecting my past self."

"But making such a commotion will probably attract Dr. Zhuang's attention and expose me, right?"

"Unless... these things are just a cause that leads to subsequent developments, and their original intention was not to let me escape."

Fan Xiao fell into deep thought.

This world of memories is undeniably fascinating.

This is where his missing memories manifest, yet it transcends his memories.

At least he couldn't remember what everyone in Ancheng looked like or what their personality was like 10 years ago—he hadn't met them all.

Under the copy rules, this detail was automatically added and presented.

Even things that weren't in his memory were filled in.

This is an exaggerated force!

However, considering that it was an evolution game that made the dungeon rules work, Fan Xiao wasn't too surprised.

Even the slightest dungeon rule is still part of an evolving game, capable of miracles beyond players' imagination and cannot be judged by common sense.

"My sister's fate, Lu Baizhi's extraordinary luck, and my guilt... perhaps the answers can all be found in this world."

With this in mind, Fan Xiao took action.

Chapter 483 The Sister's Awakening, the End of the Past

Fan Xiao could tell that the young Fan was in a state of great confusion.

I dare not go home, nor do I dare return to the training school to check on my sister's condition.

Human experiments involving pain stimulation are no joke. It's already quite remarkable that a child who experienced this kind of pain didn't break down. Running back to check on the situation... that's something only a superhuman with unwavering willpower could do.

I long to go home and find someone to rely on, but I don't dare.
