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

"This guy has really given me some trouble."

Fan Xiao looked at the noble woman and sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, although the battle between the two cities is difficult, he can help the other side cheat—he can let his consciousness infiltrate the dream, or send other lolis infiltrate the dream, to help the player at crucial moments, such as directly revealing the way to pass the game, so as to ensure that the other side can survive.

This is the gold standard service!

As for why I only spoil the plot and don't provide any support... the two kings in the dream world are characters created directly by the dungeon rules. Their strength depends on the operation of the dungeon rules, and their upper limit is extremely high.

While it certainly can't compare to the original double kings, it's not weak either—he might win against both at the same time, but he'd definitely be in a sorry state.

Fortunately, the dream creatures don't actively attack the official residents of Fairy Tale Town, and even when they're retaliating, they won't kill. Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare sell any gold services.

*Snap*—Fan Xiao pressed the button on the desktop.

The large turntable outside started spinning rapidly, then quickly slowed down, and the pointer landed on the "Battle of Two Cities" option.

Fan Xiao quickly repeated the process twice more, causing three tickets to fly out of the spinning wheel and land in the hands of the three noble ladies.

Fan Xiaochao smiled and said to them, "Have a pleasant trip."

……

After the noblewoman left, Du Ruo, Mercury, and Luo Hao took action.

On their way to the roundabout area, Mercury activated the soundproofing device and whispered to Du Ruo, "Old Du, those four guys are still holding back. Should we leave one of us here to observe the situation? Letting them roam freely seems a bit too risky."

The "four guys" he mentioned were the group of four that included the woman with the red hair tie.

These four individuals represent the United States, Europe, and an island nation, respectively...

The reason why several major factions only managed to gather four players is because Fairy Tale Town only issued a limited number of C-level tickets.

"No, let's not spread our forces too thin."

Du Ruo shook his head and said, "Investigating the dungeon and recruiting the dungeon boss can wait until we clear the dungeon. At that time, we will have the right to leave the dungeon at any time, and we will have the most comprehensive security. We can also investigate more freely."

"If we're half-hearted from the start... forget about winning people over, we could easily ruin ourselves!"

"After Fairy Tale Town was upgraded to Class C, the level of danger must have increased considerably."

They had gathered some information about Fairy Tale Town before coming in—since their goal was to explore and win over the town, they couldn't expect to get high ratings, so reading some information beforehand wouldn't have much of an impact.

According to information circulating online, players from the 010 division who have visited Fairy Tale Town have surprisingly consistent opinions on the place – it is very difficult, but not very dangerous, and the dungeon boss doesn't have a mother figure.

Yes, the last sentence is an insult.

There are quite a few players who have been scammed out of a lot of money.

Everyone felt very frustrated.

Looking at the face of that staff member in the roulette area... Du Ruo could understand the mentality of those troll players.

Of course, this intelligence is outdated.

The Fairy Tale Town is now a C-level dungeon, and its difficulty and danger are incomparable to what they used to be.

Before they learn enough detailed background information and new intelligence, they need to stay calm, put aside distractions, and seriously approach this instance with the mindset of a player.

The dangers in C-rank dungeons are no joke.

Mercury sighed softly, "My main concern is that those four guys might beat me to it in recruiting the dungeon boss... Well, that's highly unlikely. Let's focus on clearing the dungeon first."

The two stopped talking and, together with the taciturn Luo Hao, arrived at the roundabout.

With a fawning smile, Du Ruo took out a thousand game coins and handed them to Fan Xiao by the window, saying in a very humble manner, "Brother, I want to ask you a few questions. Just answer the ones you know, okay?"

“You flatter me, sir,” Fan Xiao said, taking the money with practiced ease and maintaining a smile. “The customer is king, and I will answer any question you may have. Please ask.”

"What would happen if someone forced to experience a game without a ticket?" Du Ruo asked the first question.

"We may encounter crises outside of the game project."

Fan Xiao gave an ambiguous reply.

That's not exactly a lie.

Entering without a ticket and attacking official residents of Fairy Tale Town are the two conditions for lifting the attack restrictions on the instance boss.

If the player triggers any of these actions, he will immediately gain attack privileges.

Upon hearing this, Du Ruo nodded.

Damn, money really can pay the bills!

The creatures in this dungeon must have never seen money in eight lifetimes, right?

He didn't ask what additional crises he might encounter. The other party added the prefix "may" to the answer, clearly indicating that they didn't want to be too explicit.

You'll definitely get no answer if you keep asking.

Du Ruo changed the subject, asking, "Are the six games ranked in terms of difficulty and danger?"

"The difference in difficulty isn't too great, guests. The main difference lies in the level of danger," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "The least dangerous activity is the fantasy fairy tale book group."

The Fantasy Fairy Tale Book Group project brings together a series of fairy tales, including Candy House, The Little Match Girl, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Fairy House, and Ice Kingdom.

The player's task remains the same—to find the princess who has run away from home.

This game is practically dangerous; at most, you might get teased by little girls or beaten up by the creatures of the illusion... but it won't kill you no matter what.

Unless Fan Xiao himself harbors murderous intent towards someone.

Of course, there's a major prerequisite for "easiest to complete"—it requires spending a lot of money.

The Fantasy Fairy Tale Book Group is probably the most money-grabbing of the six game projects.

Players must constantly bribe the little girls and give money to the mythical creatures in order to smoothly progress through the game.

Otherwise... for "Leopard Head Zero Charge", although the danger of this project is not high and it will not cause any deaths, its difficulty can be directly skyrocketed, making it the most difficult of the six projects!

Unless a truly skilled and versatile player comes along, it's impossible to clear the game without spending money.

No money? Forget about it!

"So... as long as we purchase the Silver Service, we can get tickets to the 'Fantasy Fairy Tale Book Group'?"

Mercury suddenly spoke up and asked.

“No, there’s a much higher probability of getting it, sir,” Fan Xiao replied. “Silver service can improve your luck.”

—If you're an Order player, I'll let you draw the card; if you're Chaos... well, I'll just take your money, not do anything for you, and might even give you a free ticket to a high-risk event.

Fan Xiao thought to himself that he was saying the last sentence.

Are you kidding me? You're just pulling strings, why are you trying to call it luck? Mercury wanted to shout in condemnation, but to avoid getting into trouble, he had to suppress his urge to complain.

"Then I'll have three silver services."

Du Ruo materialized the game coins and handed them to Fan Xiao.

After Fan Xiao put it away, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your patronage."

Snap—he pressed the button on the table.

The three tickets to the fantasy fairy tale book group quickly flew into the hands of Du Ruo and her two companions.

"You three are very lucky."

Fan Xiao clapped his hands in a mock manner.

The tone, combined with the current situation, gave people a strange, sarcastic feeling.

After examining the tickets closely, Du Ruo and the other two did not leave immediately.

Du Ruo asked again, "Brother, do you know where the dungeon boss is?"

"Guest, this is an amusement park, not the kind of place you're describing."

Fan Xiao responded honestly.

"..." Du Ruo handed over another thousand game coins.

Fan Xiao accepted the invitation naturally, but his answer remained unchanged: "Guest, there really are no dungeon bosses here. We suggest you focus on having fun and don't get distracted."

"I didn't know you charged money, I swear..." Du Ruo wanted to swear, but ultimately held back and continued to ask, "What's the difference between the gold service and the silver service?"

"One Gold Service allows you to safely enjoy one attraction."

"Only managing one project? Ignoring the whole operation?"

"Yes."

"...Brother, are you a formal resident of Fairy Tale Town?"

"You flatter me, sir. This is an amusement park. Who would actually live in an amusement park?"

"..."

Damn it! Spending 2000 game coins was a bit of a waste... Du Ruo cursed inwardly.

Realizing they couldn't get any more information from the staff member in front of them, the three of them simply left the carousel area and entered the game corresponding to their tickets.

……

On the other side, the group of four, including the girl with the red hair tie, moved away from the tattooed man and the dark-skinned man.

After they moved to a slightly farther location, they activated the soundproofing devices and began to communicate.

The girl with the red hair tie has the player nickname "Blue Lantern".

The other two men and one woman are Marcus, Li Zhenghao, and Luther.

Although the Red Rope Girl had been the one speaking before, the team leader was actually Marcus from the White Eagle Country.

"There was no sound of conversation coming from their end; it must have been blocked by some means."

Marcus said, "I read their lips and found that what they were reading was a jumbled mess and had nothing to do with the copy."

"Moreover, after they left the roundabout area, they disappeared completely, making it impossible to determine which attraction they went to."

"This... must be a built-in shielding feature of the instance itself. It seems we'll have to pay for it ourselves if we want to get the information."

"Logically speaking, in a dungeon with an independent space, which is not connected to the outside world, the dungeon boss should not be able to leave the dungeon too far, and should not have such a strong desire for game currency."

Aoandon raised a question: "The situation we're encountering is a bit unusual. Do you think... the dungeon boss here might actually be a player?"

"Dungeon bosses with player identities are extremely rare! This is true in every server."

Marcus said solemnly, "If it's true... Fairy Tale Town is a dungeon in Division 010, which means this player is very likely from Division 010! In that case, we must do everything we can to win him over!"

He looked towards the roundabout area: "Let's go, spend some money, and try to find a breakthrough by dealing with that staff member."

The group of four quickly arrived in front of Fan Xiao.

Aoandon stepped forward, handed Fan Xiao five thousand game coins, and then asked a number of basic questions related to the dungeon in an elegant tone.

Fan Xiao politely repeated the answer he had given to Du Ruo and the other two.

What can be said has been said; what cannot be said, just pretend to be ignorant.

Even without receiving a satisfactory answer, Aoandon didn't complain and maintained her faint smile.

She explained to Fan Xiao in detail their identities and the player factions they represented.

After explaining their strength and resources, she immediately posed a crucial question: "What conditions need to be met if we want to develop Fairy Tale Town into a safe instance?"

She explained the meaning of a secure copy again.

This can be described as a rather bold attempt.

Because discussing these kinds of topics in a dungeon is quite sensitive, if you accidentally anger the dungeon boss... it's hard to say whether they can leave the dungeon alive.

Judging from the current situation, the dungeon boss in Fairy Tale Town clearly has a very high degree of freedom and may not need to be passively involved in the six game activities. In other words, the dungeon boss in Fairy Tale Town does not pose a direct threat to players, and players only need to deal with the dangers inherent in the dungeon itself.

But once you anger the dungeon boss, it's like turning on Nightmare difficulty.

Players not only have to face the risks of six projects, but also have to be constantly vigilant and defend against the challenges and ambushes from the dungeon boss.

One wrong move and it's Game Over.

Fortunately, the staff member in front of me did not react excessively when he heard the question, and his expression remained unchanged.

This made the four members of the group, including Qingxingdeng, breathe a sigh of relief.

The test should be considered a success, right?

Fan Xiao was silent for a few seconds, then stretched out his hands, crossed his index fingers together, and said, "You know what I mean, right?"
