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

Fan Xiao and Lu Xining arrived at a signboard.

"Human-headed dog, three-no-stick, four-not-like, five-mixed, six-livestock beast... uh, what kind of animals are these?"

Lu Baizhi looked up at the signboard, and after looking at it for a while, she almost went numb.

Why are all these names so strange?

Lu Xining looked at these names, her eyes thoughtful.

She said to Fan Xiao, "You might be right. These animals may actually be evolutionary failures, with multiple genes mixed in their bodies, which is quite fitting for these names."

"Don't evolved beings who fail to evolve lose their minds?"

Lu Baizhi asked, "But the background information of the instance mentions that Director Chen often plays interactive games with these animals. A monster that has lost its mind should only want to eat people, so why would it play games with people?"

"I don't know, there might be exceptions?" Lu Xining guessed. "Perhaps not all failed evolvers will lose their minds."

"Guessing won't help; we'll find out by going to see for ourselves."

Fan Xiao looked at the standee, thought for a moment, and then said directly to Lu Baizhi, "Zhizi, just pick one."

Chapter 78 Lu Baizhi Goes Mad

Hearing Fan Xiao's words, Lu Baizhi looked at the signboard again.

Following her instincts, she said, "Let's go check out the four-legged creature."

“Okay,” Fan Xiao nodded and said, “Let’s go.”

The three followed the directions on the sign and headed west of the zoo.

The Xingyi City Zoo is not small in size, and the area within sight is not all flat land.

Fan, Xiao, and their companions climbed over a small hill using steps and walked for about five minutes before finally arriving at their destination—a huge glass house.

It was afternoon.

Sunlight shines on the glass house, and the reflected light occasionally dazzles people's eyes.

The three looked into the glass house and saw a huge monster lying on the artificial hill inside, seemingly dozing off.

It was an incredibly large and muscular chimpanzee monster, with bulging muscles on its thick arms that looked like steel.

But it is more than just a chimpanzee.

Its lower limbs are like a horse's, with hooves.

Its neck is very long, just like a giraffe's.

On its head, there are rabbit ears that stand up high.

A gorilla, a horse, a giraffe, a rabbit... it really is quite a hybrid.

Or rather, it's quite abstract.

Fan, Xiao, and the other two exchanged glances and became more vigilant.

Where in the world can you find such a bizarre animal?

It's definitely a failed evolver, no doubt about it.

"Please be careful and don't stay more than 5 meters away from me."

Fan Xiao reminded the two sisters.

5 meters – that’s the effective range of the “Dustless Shield”.

Within 5 meters, he can form a repulsive barrier in any direction.

Although the rules prevent me from attacking the "animal" inside the glass enclosure, I have no problem defending myself against its attacks.

"There are also signs here."

After reaching the door of the glass room, Lu Xining looked to the side.

A sign stood nearby that read: "Aggression within the rules of the interactive game is permitted, but it must not injure the animals."

"What does this mean? Are we supposed to play games with...with this gorilla?"

Lu Baizhi asked in confusion.

"I guess so," Fan Xiao said. "Let's go in and take a look."

After saying that, he stepped into the house.

The two sisters quickly followed.

The commotion at the entrance seemed to have startled the chimpanzee monster.

It rolled over, leaped from the artificial hill to the ground, stretched out its thick arms to rub its eyes, yawned, and looked like it had just woken up.

Upon seeing Fan Xiao and the other two approach, a human-like expression of joy appeared on its fierce face.

The chimpanzee exclaimed, "Great! Someone else is here to play games with me!"

"..."

A clear, childlike voice rang out, causing Fan Xiao, Lu Xining, and Lu Baizhi to stop in their tracks and stand on guard.

This thing... it can actually speak human language!?

If the circumstances hadn't been unfavorable, Van Shaw would have almost thought of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

"It...it can actually talk?" Lu Baizhi opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"A rational monster?"

Lu Xining frowned.

She had seen monsters with reason before.

The island god of the sacrificial island is...

But the island god is a high-level player recognized by the game, so it's normal that he maintained a human form before his body became like that, and it would be reasonable for him to have reason.

And this monster in front of us... it can't possibly be a high-level player, right?

Would a hardcore gamer be willing to be kept in a zoo?

Do not make jokes.

"Why aren't you coming closer? Are you still playing the game?"

Seeing that Fan Xiao and the other two had stopped moving, the chimpanzee took the initiative to approach them.

Its childlike voice is completely out of place with its robust and muscular body, making it sound very jarring and creating a humorous contrast.

But none of the three—Fan, Xiao, and Fan—laughed; instead, they remained secretly on guard.

Lu Xining got straight to the point: "We brought your food."

She shook the food bag in her hand.

Wow! Smoked meat jerky! Smoked meat jerky!

Upon seeing the bag, the chimpanzee immediately cheered and jumped for joy, as excited as a 500-kilogram child.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao suddenly said, "Little friend, we'll give you smoked jerky, and you give us your 'Good Friend Badge,' okay?"

"If I give you badges, will you still play games with me?"

The chimpanzee looked down at Fan Xiao and the other two, and asked pitifully.

“Of course,” Fan Xiao said. “My older brother and sister love playing games.”

"But I refuse!"

The chimpanzee suddenly spoke.

Fan Xiao: "..."

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that the three were taken aback by his unexpected turn of events, the chimpanzee excitedly rolled around on the ground.

He rolled around and laughed out loud.

He also mocked, "You're all idiots! Idiots! Outsiders are so easy to fool."

"so."

Fan Xiao resisted the urge to punch it to death and asked, "To get the badge, I have to play a game with you first?"

"Yes, after you beat me and feed me the bacon, I'll give you the badge."

"That's what the chimpanzee said."

"What if we lose?" Lu Xining asked.

"Even if you lose, you'll still have to feed me bacon, but I won't give you any badges."

The chimpanzee said with a proud look on its face.

Seeing this, Lu Xining tried to threaten: "If you beat us, you can forget about eating smoked meat! I'd rather throw it away than give it to you."

"Fine, don't give it to me then," the chimpanzee said smugly. "Uncle Chen said there are plenty of people bringing bacon and vying to play games with us. If you don't feed me bacon, I won't play with you next time, hmph."

"..."

Fan Xiao, Lu Xining, and Lu Baizhi looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds—that damn Director Chen really knows how to do business!

It's one thing to engage in monopolistic practices.

Even if you lose the game, you still have to be fed smoked meat.

Are you just repeatedly exploiting players?

“No wonder this zoo is so clean,” Lu Baizhi muttered to herself. “I guess a lot of players have lost all their money and haven’t collected all their badges, so they have to work as cleaners for Director Chen for a day in exchange for a bag of food.”

"This also reflects that winning interactive games is probably not easy," Lu Xining said.

"Let's hear what this gorilla has to say first."

After reminding the two, Fan Xiao turned to the chimpanzee and asked, "What game do you want to play?"

"Playing rock-paper-scissors and slapping each other."

The chimpanzee said, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors first. The winner slaps the loser. Whoever can slap the other five times in a row wins."

Upon hearing this, Fan, Xiao, and the other two subconsciously glanced at its thick, muscular arms.

If this chimpanzee were to slap someone like that... an ordinary person would probably die on the spot.

The worst part is that the chimpanzees can hit them hard, but they can't hit back hard.

A sign at the entrance to the glass enclosure reminds players that attacks are permitted within the rules of the interactive game, but it is forbidden to injure the animals.

You taste, you taste carefully.

There is absolutely no fairness to speak of.

Fortunately, all three of them had ways to deal with it.

Lu Xining asked, "What if no one can slap the other person five times in a row?"

"I'll only play with you for an hour. If we don't decide who wins or loses after an hour, then you lose, and you have to feed me smoked meat."

"I can't believe it," the chimpanzee said smugly.

“This is not fair,” Lu Baizhi said.

"You are adults, of course you should give way to me."

Despite its fierce-looking face, the chimpanzee uttered words that sounded like it was being pleaded.

Looking at its massive body and the contrast with its voice, Lu Baizhi felt a little nauseous.

"I'll play with you."

She suddenly took a step forward.

"Are you confident?" Lu Xining asked her sister.

"Rock-paper-scissors, no problem."

Lu Baizhi nodded.
