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

Lu Baizhi went into a state of alert, and the way she looked at Yin changed.

The saintess sitting opposite her had a slight upturn at the corner of her mouth.

However, just as she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Lu Xining out of the corner of her eye and subconsciously held back.

Yu Xuezhao sat in the farthest seat, watching the play attentively.

……

The question about silver was ultimately left unanswered.

Lu Baizhi wanted to answer first that his girlfriend was him, but he didn't wipe his face.

Lu Xining defined himself as a lover and said he wouldn't try to steal the position of girlfriend.

The Holy Maiden tried to stir up trouble, but her nemesis, Lu Xining, was present and suppressed her completely.

This girl is a weirdo; she can't beat her.

A crisis miraculously ended peacefully—Fan Xiao stepped forward and answered his junior sister, saying it was his personal privacy and not to pry.

The junior sister silently swallowed her anger.

After this battle, Fan Xiao truly experienced the power of a chaotic battlefield.

It hasn't erupted yet.

Once it breaks out, it'll probably be quite a "spectacle".

Therefore, you shouldn't accumulate too many emotional debts!

After much painful reflection, Fan Xiao decided to be more careful and cautious in the future.

Speaking of which... the eldest sister quite enjoys watching the drama unfold.

After composing himself, Fan Xiao, under the pretext of going to the restroom, and Lu Xining, who was also taking the opportunity to leave, engaged in a farewell that was inappropriate for children, indescribable, thrilling and exciting in a secluded corner.

After that, he bid farewell to the others and, together with Lu Baizhi and the others, followed Yu Xuezhao on the node train to another time-space node.

Fairy Tale Town, which has been upgraded to a C-level dungeon, also has the ability to connect to nearby numbered nodes and open doors.

However, the randomness is too great, so it's hard to say whether it will succeed.

It's possible that only a few out of 100 attempts will succeed.

There is also a risk of connecting to the 019 partition.

Therefore, taking the node train is the safest option.

Yu Xue Zhao holds a large number of low-level and high-level tickets for external nodes, so there is absolutely no need to worry about resources.

Fan Xiao calmed himself down and silently gathered his thoughts.

After a half-day journey, they arrived at node G03 and transferred to a regular train, traveling through different times and spaces.

Time passed slowly, and his luck-accumulating period exceeded seven days. The "misfortune container" was full, and Lu Baizhi's good fortune began to offset his bad luck.

Fan Xiao then attempted to transfer the newly accumulated seven days of misfortune to Dr. Zhuang by using adjacent time and space nodes... and succeeded.

……

"Cough...cough...!"

Dr. Zhuang put down his coffee cup, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth and nose, and used the prop to instantly relieve the discomfort in his throat and nasal cavity.

Looking at the coffee stains on his light-colored clothes, he remained silent for a long time before finally sighing.

An S-class player almost choked on his coffee and cried because he was drinking it—given the physical abilities of an S-class player, what are the odds of such a ridiculous thing happening?

Damn it... Dr. Zhuang couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He's been having a run of bad luck for almost half a month now.

During this period, he often encountered some minor problems with eating and drinking.

He either choked, got burned by the spiciness, or found someone had spat into his food after he finished eating... So he simply stopped eating altogether, only occasionally sipping black tea or drinking coffee.

Problems still arose.

He often slips while walking, and some falling objects from high altitudes will happen to land on him, such as bird droppings, flower pots... So he simply stopped walking and used props to help him fly close to the ground, and added a protective shield that was always in operation for him.

As a result, he encountered other misfortunes and troubles... Even though his thinking was almost purely rational, this inexplicable bad luck ruined his mentality.

These past few days, he hasn't even dared to go out casually.

When he needs to go out, he will use props to activate multiple layers of protection such as invisibility, protection, reduced presence, and the ability to be penetrated, so as to avoid contact with everyone.

Otherwise, he doesn't know what man-made disaster might suddenly befall him.

Street thugs dislike him, he's being targeted by gay men, and he's getting caught up in player conflicts... Recently, even Shash Sen seems to have taken notice of his existence.

This absolutely cannot be explained by simply bad luck.

who is it!

Who on earth is cursing him...?

Chapter 501 Siblings

Dr. Zhuang calculated the time, adding the number of days he waited before the bad luck struck, and he had been in the 019 section for a little over 20 days.

Shash Sen had already prepared a trap at Base A1, waiting for the target to approach.

He himself also made some arrangements.

So... are Cassandra and Van Helsing never coming back?

Dr. Zhuang fell into deep thought.

Perhaps we should change our original plans.

"Hasn't the person come out yet?"

Gu Hange's voice suddenly rang out.

Dr. Zhuang turned his head to look at the window of the room and saw a gentle woman dressed in a long dress, wearing a headband, and dressed elegantly and appropriately, sitting on the open windowsill.

"Perhaps my guess is wrong, they should have already left the 019 section."

Dr. Zhuang replied, "My bad luck these past few days is either a continuous attack they cast before they left, or... it's a continuous attack they've been launching against me after they left this partition, or even this node."

"The former is very unlikely. With my current protective gear, plus the S-level range of protective strength, even if I were attacked by an A-level item like a curse of misfortune, it shouldn't last this long."

"So, it's more likely the latter; I'm under continuous attack."

"Do you think that's possible? The latter... cross-partition attacks, or even cross-node attacks, are the domain of S-class items." Gu Hange looked doubtful and said, "The number of S-class items is limited. There are only so many available, and I haven't heard of any new S-class items being created recently."

"It could also be S-class psionic energy."

Dr. Zhuang said half-jokingly.

Gu Hange didn't answer, appearing to have no interest in such a trivial topic.

Of course, that's not what she really thought.

She knew that Van Sau was very likely... to actually possess S-class psionic energy in its unawakened state.

This matter must not be known to Dr. Zhuang.

Then, she put on a serious expression and suggested a possibility: "You said Van Helsing is related to the destruction of nations, so... could it be that the destruction of nations left him some kind of trans-temporal attack method? Misfortune... weaving fate... the wheel of destiny... it seems to match up?"

“It’s quite possible that this matches up. Perhaps the destruction of his country provided Van Helsing with a blessing in disguise,” Dr. Zhuang added. “For example, once someone becomes hostile towards him, misfortune will follow.”

"Is this even possible?"

Gu Hange expressed his doubts.

This suspicion wasn't feigned; she didn't believe that destroying a country could be such an extreme feat.

Dr. Zhuang smiled and said, "We only know that the S-rank item Wheel of Fate is related to destiny. As for what it can do, we can only guess roughly and have no way of getting to the details."

"What I said earlier might have been an exaggeration, but to put it a little less dramatic, for example... the destruction of the country left Van Helsing with a secondary item made from an S-class item, which could be used to lock onto a person and subject them to the curse of the Wheel of Fate. That level of capability is still achievable."

"The misfortunes I've encountered these past few days have mostly been minor and far from fatal."

"The S-rank item has crossed so many different dimensions and affected me. The effect will definitely weaken layer by layer. It can't be considered a formal attack... Hmm, all the details match up perfectly. That should be it."

At this point, he sighed slightly and said, "It seems that Cassandra and Van Helsing have indeed left Division 019. We need to change our plans."

Unaware that the Miss Destroying the Nation was still far off, she had been caught in the crossfire once again, taking the blame for her students for the second time.

If she finds out, she'll probably go and annoy Fan Xiao again.

“It does need to be changed,” Gu Hange said without arguing. “I’m getting impatient too.”

"Two options."

Dr. Zhuang outlined his plan: "First, I've collected some tickets for the 'Mone Tower' dungeon."

"Next, I will arrange for some players to enter the instance with tickets and force Cassandra to come back."

"If she ignores it three times, she will lose her copy privileges."

"In that case... it should pose a certain threat. After all, access to a B-level instance is extremely rare, and not many people would be willing to give it up."

Cassandra has gained access to the "Mone Tower" instance and become its new instance boss—this information was deduced by him based on Echo's purpose and the current situation.

Gu Hange was a smart man and could easily figure this out, so he didn't explain anything about it.

"but."

Dr. Zhuang continued, "Cassandra might give up the temptation of copy access for her own safety... That's a possibility, so this plan alone won't work, we need to develop a second plan."

"The remaining methods are nothing more than proactive pursuit," Gu Hange asked. "Cross-node and partition tracking is not a simple matter. Do you have a solution?"

"That's it."

Dr. Zhuang opened his palm, and a ticket for the "Mone Tower" instance appeared in his hand: "Cassandra is the instance BOSS, and there is a causal relationship between the ticket and her."

"This relationship has no physical form in the material world, but it is a completely different story at the conceptual level."

"I happen to possess an item that can trace this causal relationship."

It's not actually a prop, but a kind of psionic energy.

Gu Hange was an unstable individual, so naturally he wouldn't reveal all the information to the other party.

"The item... it's not even an S-rank item, at most it can only be used for pursuit within one zone, right?" Gu Hange asked, "How do you plan to cross zones? Through the spacetime track?"

“That’s right, through the spacetime track. The spacetime track runs through the entire node, and by activating the item based on it, although we can’t get the exact location of the target, we can get the general direction. With the direction, we can slowly search. I admit that this is a bit clumsy, but it will definitely be effective.”

Dr. Zhuang said, "They shouldn't be too far away from us. If nothing unexpected happens, they are within the radius of the random entrance to the 'Mone Tower' instance, so the causal relationship represented by the tickets is valid."

"As long as we are willing to spend time gradually pinpointing their location, finding them should not be a problem."

"You've explained it to me in such detail..." Gu Hange asked, "Do you want me to come along?"

“I do intend to invite your help,” Dr. Zhuang said with a smile. “Your ability is very special. Once the target is found, you will be able to more quickly block their escape routes.”

"Then why should I help you?"

Although Gu Hange had originally planned to go together, in order not to give herself away, she said, "My interest in Van Helsing isn't as great as your interest in Cassandra. I have my own things to do."

"Is that so..." Dr. Zhuang shook his head: "I don't think so, do I?"

"……What's the meaning?"

Gu Hange lowered her eyes.

Dr. Zhuang put away the train ticket in his hand and said, "I discovered that among the surviving members of the Holy Sword Alliance, there is a white-haired girl in their memories named Alpha. I used a tool to locate her position and found that... she ultimately landed on you."

"You've done a pretty thorough investigation."

Gu Hange did not deny it, and continued to say with a faint smile, "Since you can't pinpoint Van Helsing's location, I naturally have to investigate it myself."

"Alpha is indeed in my hands, but... Van Helsing is my prey, and I'm not going to hand Alpha over to you to deal with."

Dr. Zhuang's probing was exactly what she had expected.

Therefore, she did not kill the surviving members of the Holy Sword Alliance to block Alpha's identity information.

Dr. Zhuang was unaware of Van Helsing's true identity, which was Van Xiao. Given this, it's normal that she didn't intentionally kill him.

If she were to directly eliminate the members of the Holy Sword Alliance or alter their memories... that would create loopholes and alert Dr. Zhuang.

After all, she is not someone who would indiscriminately kill innocent people.
