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

"Wouldn't you call this setting a flag?" Lu Xining reminded him.

"I've set way too many goals for myself."

Fan Xiao shrugged.

The three people are waiting for the train at station G08-010-A1.

The instance we were going to was "Crazy Zoo," which we had agreed to visit before.

A moment later, clang, clang...

The time-traveling train approaching from afar gradually slowed down and stopped at station A1.

Fan Xiao, Lu Xining, and Lu Baizhi entered the carriage one after another with their tickets, and sat together after choosing empty seats.

There were other players in the carriage, and they all glanced at them upon seeing this.

After discovering that it was a three-person team, some players with ulterior motives gave up their plans.

Lu Xining and Lu Baizhi dressed simply, making them look a bit rustic.

Aside from Lu Baizhi's alluring figure, which was impossible to completely hide, the two sisters were no longer as eye-catching.

Being too good-looking can be a bad thing when you're stuck in a crowd of players, especially when entering a dungeon.

As for the reason... those who know, know.

At that moment, the train's announcement system came on, broadcasting three rules for boarding.

Then came the broadcast of bounties for "destroying a country".

After completing the basic procedures after boarding, Fan Xiao pressed the call button.

A flight attendant came over shortly after.

"Three cups of coffee, please."

As Fan Xiao spoke, he took out two hundred game coins and handed them to the flight attendant.

Game currency can be used as virtual currency to transfer to other players, or it can be withdrawn and used as real money, thus being compatible with different payment environments.

This was the first time the Lu sisters had ridden the time-travel train. As the train started moving, Lu Baizhi looked out the window with a bit of excitement, like a curious child.

"A super player is an S-level player?"

Lu Xining asked Fan Xiao.

She had been paying attention ever since she heard the previous broadcast.

"That's right. But you can't say that the other way around."

Fan Xiao explained: "When an S-level player meets three conditions—an evolution rate of 100%, an S-level item, and an S-level dungeon—they will be recognized as a super player by the evolution game."

"Are S-rank items hard to obtain?"

Lu Xining immediately grasped the key point.

"That seems to be the case, but I don't know the specifics," Fan Xiao replied.

At that moment, the flight attendant brought over three cups of coffee.

"Please enjoy."

After the flight attendant left, Fan Xiao picked up a cup of coffee, just about to drink it...

"Is there a super civilization behind the evolution game?"

Lu Xining then posed the next question to him.

“I’ve made the same inference, but whether it’s true remains to be verified,” Fan Xiao replied. “Perhaps the answer lies in section A01-001.”

Based on the numbering rules of "spacetime node - world partition", the earliest game partition should be partition A01-001.

Even if it's not the headquarters of the game company "Ninth Dimension Alliance", as the earliest region to be involved in the game, it must have developed into a very, very mature place.

Perhaps many secrets there are common knowledge.

Fan Xiao brought the coffee to his lips...

"Could we bribe the flight attendants to get some information?" Lu Xining continued to ask.

"...Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions? Can I have a sip of coffee first?"

Fan Xiao said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xining picked up her coffee, took a sip, and said, "Please go ahead."

"..."

Fan Xiao was no longer in the mood to enjoy his drink elegantly. He gulped down the entire cup of coffee in two gulps and said, "The flight attendants can be bribed, but whether they answer your questions depends on their mood."

"Also, whether you say it or not, the money will not be refunded."

"Finally, do you have any questions? Please say them all at once."

"temporarily unavailable."

Lu Xining replied.

Lu Baizhi remained absorbed in the changing scenery outside the window.

Lu Xining followed her sister's gaze and looked outside.

Each time you travel through time and space, you will experience a completely different change in scenery and style.

If you simply view this as a train journey, it's quite breathtaking.

"By the way," Lu Xining asked, "it seems like private duels between players aren't prohibited on the train? Have you ever encountered one?"

Fan Xiao: "..."

……

"Attention all players, this train is about to arrive at Star Memory Corridor Station. Players who wish to disembark should prepare in advance."

About four hours later, the train's announcement came on again, causing Fan Xiao, who was resting with his eyes closed, to open them.

"It looks like we're almost there," Lu Baizhi said.

Fan Xiao reminded them, "Get ready, we'll be getting off in two minutes at most. Since we're not D-level players, we'll be directly teleported to the corresponding instance after entering the station."

"Can a D-level player go by themselves?" Lu Xining asked.

“I asked Du Ruo, and he said it’s a choice you can make,” Fan Xiao replied. “Either you’re teleported there, or you find your way there yourself.”

Upon hearing this, both sisters checked their equipment.

Items that can be carried directly with you should be carried with you, eliminating the need to retrieve them from your inventory and allowing you to activate them immediately.

A short while later, the train arrived at the station.

Fan Xiao and the other two left the carriage and entered the Starry Memory Corridor Station.

Looking left and right, you can see other players in both directions.

The next second, the game's teleportation activated, and their figures disappeared into the station.

Once his vision stabilized, Fan Xiao quickly looked around and found himself in a small square.

There were many players around, roughly estimated to be no less than 20 people.

Directly in front of the square, or rather, directly in front of Fan Xiao, there is an arched gate with the words "Star Memory City Zoo" written on it, surrounded by an iron fence.

At this moment, all the players looked around, observing each other at a certain distance, their faces showing vigilance.

This time, Fan Xiao did not repeat his behavior at the "Jixiang Hotel" and pretended not to know the Lu Xining sisters.

There are a lot of players participating in this instance, so it's generally impossible for a large group of people to act together.

They either act alone or in a team.

Therefore, there's no need to hide your relationship with your companions beforehand, or set traps for them.

"I didn't receive any game notifications."

Lu Baizhi lowered her voice and spoke to her sister and Fan Xiao.

“I guess there are still some people who haven’t arrived yet,” Lu Xining replied. “Let’s wait a bit.”

After a while, more players were teleported to the small square.

The game prompts finally appeared on each player's panel.

The "Crazy Zoo" instance is now open.

[Background Information: Director Chen is a kind-hearted member of an animal protection association. Even when faced with strangely shaped animals that might cause strong discomfort, he treats them all equally.]

To provide these animals with a warm home, Director Chen demolished the old facilities and built this zoo.

He meticulously cared for all the animals, playing interactive games with them, and did so day after day for ten years without ever slacking off.

The zoo has become increasingly famous, gradually attracting tourists from all over the world.

【hint:】

1. Do not harm Director Chen or the animals in the zoo.

2. The interactive game rules must be followed when feeding the animals.

3. Staff must stay in the staff dormitory from 9 PM to 8 AM.

[4. Only players who have collected all ten "Friends Badges" can leave the staff dormitory at night.]

[Instance Quest:]

1. Collect all ten "Best Friend Badges"

2. Fulfill the children's wishes

[Note: You can clear this dungeon by fulfilling any of the mission requirements.]

"The name of this zoo seems to be different from the name of the dungeon?"

Lu Baizhi was the first to voice her doubts.

"No one stipulates that the name of the zoo must be consistent with the copy."

Lu Xining said, "However, the name of the instance to some extent represents some of its background, and I think we should pay attention to that. And..."

She paused, then reminded them, "Did you notice that the game says you can't go out at night, but it also says you can go out after collecting ten badges? And after collecting ten badges, you can directly clear the dungeon and leave, so there's no need to stay here any longer."

"Therefore, I speculate that collecting all ten badges is likely a prerequisite for completing the second dungeon quest."

"Based on this reasoning, some of the secrets of this zoo may only be revealed at night, and no clues can be found during the day."

"The analysis is correct."

Fan Xiao nodded: "But let's go in and check the situation first. Relying on just a few game hints for deduction is incomplete and it's easy to make mistakes due to omissions."

His suggestion was approved by the two sisters.

The three of them walked towards the zoo gate.

At this moment, the other players also realized what was happening and either acted alone or formed small teams to head into the zoo.

After passing through the gate, Fan Xiao looked around.

It looked much like a typical zoo he'd seen on Earth, divided into many areas and pathways. Some areas were built on high ground, requiring you to climb stairs to get up. There were many signs along the way, reminding players where they could find the corresponding animals.

There is a small house to the right of the main gate.

The square window of the house was open, and a middle-aged man was standing inside, shouting to the group of players outside: "Buy the food for feeding here, 1000 game coins a bag, which can be used to feed 10 times."

"Old man, you're robbing me!"

Immediately, some players voiced their dissatisfaction.

"I'm the only one who has food for feeding them. The animals won't eat any other food. Buy it or don't, it's up to you."

The middle-aged man said calmly, "However, I must remind you that the 'Best Friend Badge' can only be obtained from animals."

"And if you want an animal to give you a badge, you have to feed it first and make it comfortable."

Chapter 77: Even in the dungeon, you still have to work for someone else?

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, all the players hesitated.
