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

"Moreover, it's not just about finding the dungeon; our chances of obtaining items within that dungeon are also higher than other players."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao suddenly felt an extremely strong killing intent!

He even wanted to instantly crush the guy in front of him into mincemeat.

Because listening to this guy's description... the more he listened, the more it seemed like he was talking about Lu Baizhi's luck.

When it comes to treasure hunting, luck that's beyond reason is far more useful than prophecy.

If Lu Baizhi has been in the 011 division for quite some time, she must be doing very well.

Because dungeons with good items will prioritize including her.

Even if she stays in the safe zone, she can't avoid it—because with luck at work, she will definitely encounter various coincidences that will force her to leave the safe zone for some reason.

Once she goes out, she reckons she'll get caught up in the dungeon.

One ring within another.

Moreover, according to what Youguo said before, dungeon items are considered extra items in the dungeon, and not every single one is in the hands of the dungeon BOSS. The condition for obtaining them is not the so-called "excellent performance in clearing the dungeon".

Sometimes you get lucky and might just find the props after walking around inside.

If Lu Baizhi stays in this section long enough, she will definitely reap great rewards.

Could it be that Mammon's people... know about Lu Baizhi's special nature?

Logically speaking, it's unlikely.

With Bai Zhi's luck, she should be able to gain benefits while concealing her identity and past.

Since no one else knew she had obtained something good, they naturally wouldn't be jealous or covetous of it.

This is what is known as making a fortune quietly.

Unless she acquires exceptionally powerful and outrageous items in succession, attracting too much attention and involving too many karmic entanglements, causing her luck to no longer be able to cover for her... at that point, luck will most likely arrange for her to start running away.

"No... there is another possibility."

Fan Xiao quickly calmed down and had other guesses in his mind.

If it really is Lu Baizhi... could this "Mammon trouble" be a prerequisite for her to gain new benefits?

Of course, it's also possible that all his guesses came true.

For example... Lu Baizhi was indeed exposed and was indeed preparing to run away, but because he came here, through a strange cause and effect, he encountered Mammon's people and learned about this matter.

The next causal arrangement was that he rushed over to provide Bai Zhi with protection and eliminate all the dangers that were harassing the little girl.

This would not only solve the problem, but also allow the two of them to spend some time alone together and weather the storm, perhaps even allowing their relationship to quickly blossom...

Ah this...

It feels like he's become Bai Zhi's tool instead.

Fan Xiao quickly reined in his wandering thoughts.

To confirm his suspicions, he feigned curiosity and asked the Mammon player, "Your statement has piqued my interest. What exactly is this secret mission? And how does it relate to what you've been telling me?"

Upon hearing the question, the Mammon player did not answer immediately, but looked around.

Then, staring at the shadowy barrier, he asked Fan Xiao, "Is this thing reliable for soundproofing?"

"Don't waste my time."

A cold glint appeared in Fan Xiao's eyes.

Upon seeing this, the Mammon player quickly said, "It's a person! A woman! Or rather... a young girl."

"That girl possesses extremely powerful talent, or perhaps psychic abilities?"

"In short, thanks to her ability, her luck is ridiculously good! Abnormally good!"

"Of course, it's also possible that the effect of her ability isn't based on luck, but on some other principle, but the result it produces looks like luck."

After calming down, the Mammon player continued, "If we can control her, we'll definitely make a fortune on this trip to Zone 011!"

"It's not just about dungeon items; in the future, no matter what we do, we can reuse her abilities to maximize the probability of success and obtain the richest rewards!"

"Is that so... that's quite an interesting ability."

Fan Xiao's eyes were icy cold, but the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he had been persuaded and looked very excited.

He asked, "Why are you so sure this luck comes from talent or psychic energy? Couldn't it be some kind of item?"

"If it's a prop, even an A-grade prop probably wouldn't have this effect, right?"

The Mammon player replied somewhat uncertainly.

"You guessed pretty accurately..." Fan Xiao thought to himself.

Grade A items do not have this effect.

Lu Baizhi was handpicked by him, someone who could level up to the top A-level player without any obstacles or risks.

If the timeframe is extended further and some risks are taken, she could even challenge an S-rank player.

How could a mere A-grade item have such an effect?

The tool that can interfere with spacetime is very advanced.

Items that can interfere with causality are more advanced and rarer.

Lu Baizhi's luck has long surpassed the limits that an A-grade causality item can achieve.

As for whether it has reached the realm of S-rank items... Fan Xiao felt that it probably hadn't, but it was definitely closer than the top-tier A-rank items.

The Mammon player continued, "You haven't seen it for yourself. Just hearing my description gives you a very limited picture. That girl was truly terrifying!"

"Furthermore, our people have seen her in a dungeon where access to items is restricted. After verification, we learned that she obtained the dungeon items from that dungeon."

"Therefore we can be certain that her ability is not a prop effect, but definitely her own talent or psionic power."

"..."

Fan Xiao sighed inwardly.

He was right!

He really did become a tool to clean up Bai Zhi's mess.

Lu Baizhi probably overdid it during this period and inadvertently exposed her information.

After all, the luck she normally possesses is equivalent to about 12 days in the calculation of the S-level psionic "quantum immortality".

Moreover, Lu Baizhi couldn't do what he did, accumulating her luck all at once and using it all at once.

Since luck isn't unlimited, it's normal for overexertion to backfire and expose one's shortcomings.

Luck is merely an aid; Lu Baizhi's actions will not be constantly interfered with or controlled by luck, and she possesses sufficient autonomy.

Autonomy means the unknown, and it means taking risks, so this situation is not particularly surprising to Van Chau.

Being exposed doesn't necessarily mean instant death; you can simply escape this zone.

Now that he's here, Lu Baizhi doesn't even need to run anymore.

His encounter with the Mammon members this time was most likely a staged drama orchestrated by Lu Baizhi's good fortune.

Fan Xiao thus gained a deeper understanding of the terrifying extent of his own abilities.

I also realized how shameless and frustrated my enemies were when they faced me.

Luck can always play a role unexpectedly, leading to a favorable future.

Fan Xiao continued, "You still haven't told me what the secret mission is? Is it to capture that girl? You haven't caught her yet, have you?"

"If we catch them, there won't be any secret missions anymore."

The Mammon member sighed: "The news was initially spread by a player who had participated in the dungeon with that girl, and it reached our boss Jensen's ears."

"The boss got a little interested at the time. When he was bored, he started looking for that girl. During the search, he gathered bits and pieces of information from many players. After piecing them together, he was surprised to find that the girl had cleared many dungeons in a short period of time, and they were all newly created dungeons."

"One of the dungeons is called 'Marieport,' and the dungeon boss inside has been confirmed to possess a dungeon item."

"After the girl went to 'Marie Harbour' once, the item in the dungeon boss's possession disappeared. Based on this information, our leader made a bold conjecture at the time—it is very likely that the dungeons the girl visited all contained dungeon items, and that she obtained them all."

"Boss James immediately became very interested. It was no longer just a hobby. He began to seriously search for the other party's whereabouts. However, no matter how hard Boss James searched, he would always miss the girl by chance and was always a step too late."

"So your boss shared the intelligence and let you all go search for it together," Fan Xiao commented. "That's a bit stupid."

"There's nothing we can do about it," the Mammon player sighed. "Our leader teamed up with several B-rank members to search, but we still couldn't find her. It's like the girl heard something beforehand and just vanished without a trace."

"Will they leave here?" Fan Xiao asked.

“Impossible!” the Mammon player replied. “There are only so many stations in Zone 011. We have cooperated with the game government and placed players to keep watch at all the stations. We have combined machines and manpower. As long as she leaves by train, we will definitely find her! Unless she gets caught up in a random instance in another zone or another node and leaves from somewhere else.”

At this point, his tone became more serious: "Boss James said that with that girl's incredible abilities, the probability of this happening is very high. The other party could leave at any time, so we need to step up our efforts."

"So you're just slacking off here?" Fan Xiao chuckled.

"It's just for fun," the Mammon player said. "I'm not the main person looking for people. Boss Jens and the others have already borrowed high-level tools specifically for locking onto targets."

At this point, he extended an olive branch to Fan Xiao, saying, "Brother, are you interested in joining us? As long as we capture that girl, with her abilities to assist us, we can not only obtain many powerful dungeon items, but also use her abilities to help us with other things in the future."

"According to Boss James's speculation, that girl is very likely an extremely rare A-level psychic!"

"Fortunately, she is currently very weak and has not yet grown up, so now is the best time to control her!"

"Since you all have the ability to find people on your own, why are you trying to get me to join you?" Fan Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Having the ability to find them doesn't necessarily mean having the ability to capture them!"

The Mammon player shook his head and said, "You have no idea how terrifying that girl is. Even if we surround her, it's very likely that the next second, an extremely dangerous random dungeon will suddenly appear and pull us all in... It's even possible that only we will be pulled in, while she will stay safely in place and leave smoothly."

“You can deal with her in the safe zone,” Fan Xiao suggested.

“That’s exactly what we’re planning,” the Mammon player continued, shaking his head. “But we’re afraid that by some twist of fate, she’ll always be outside the safe zone.”

Hmm, that's quite possible... Fan Xiao seems to agree with that.

Lu Baizhi's ability to protect herself has always been so strong that he doesn't need to worry about anything.

If he hadn't come to partition 011 this time, Lu Baizhi would probably have been caught up in the dungeons of other nodes, left from other nodes, and returned to node G08.

Players here cannot find her trace across nodes.

Even with several A-grade items specifically designed for finding people, locating someone across nodes remains an incredibly difficult task.

Unless it's an S-rank item.

"Anyway."

The Mammon player said, "To ensure the success of the plan, we are prepared to increase manpower."

"Of course, not just anyone can join. You are very strong! Your methods are unpredictable! You are perfect for joining us."

"If you let me go, I'll introduce you to Boss James."

"Are you sure you can find that girl?" Fan Xiao asked again.

"Confirmed!" the Mammon player replied, "As long as she remains in this partition!"

"Hmm... then count me in." Fan Xiao grinned and said, "It's your honor to meet me. With me here, catching that girl is almost a sure thing."

"...You seem quite confident in your abilities."

The Mammon player gave a perfunctory reply.

"Heh," Fan Xiao chuckled, then his voice suddenly turned icy as if he were capricious, saying, "By the way, I fucking hate deception! If what you're saying isn't false, I swear I'll kill you all!"

"Of course it's not fake, it's all real..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Mammon player suddenly paused.

Wait a minute, isn't something off about this conversation?

Something feels off.

Bathed in Fan Xiaobing's icy gaze, the Mammon player felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly stopped thinking and said, "Given my current situation, I certainly wouldn't dare lie to you. So... it's settled then?"

“Okay.” Fan Xiao nodded.

“By the way,” the Mammon player reminded, “we have to kill all those people outside! We can’t let them know about this.”

“No need to kill anyone, I’ll handle it.” Fan Xiao asked, “So far, who knows about this?”

“Boss Jens only told four partners, all of whom were B-level members, and signed confidentiality agreements with them using items,” the Mammon player replied. “Besides them, there were 12 C-level members, including myself, who knew about this.”
