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

Players who retire at rank A must have climbed that rank with great difficulty.

Players like this, who might be very flamboyant in the real world, become timid and hesitant once they enter an A-level dungeon, because they might become cannon fodder if they are unlucky.

They're usually not that much stronger.

Perhaps he doesn't even have a single A-grade item among all his belongings.

Even if they did, they would probably be weak A-grade items. In terms of overall strength, they could be treated as exceptionally powerful B-grade players, at most with significantly stronger defense than B-grade players.

Defense is an important statistic for players during combat.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the most important.

Our attack power is the same, but when you punch me, I only feel pain, but when I punch you, you vomit blood... If I punch you a few more times, will you die?

If the difference in defense is too great, even if the difference in attack power is not great, it is equivalent to a dimensional reduction attack in combat.

I can make many mistakes, but you can only make one!

For an A-level player to fight the Ghost Queen... to be honest, it's going to be a tough fight.

If it were a character like Yu Xuezhao or Gu Hange, an A-rank player, fighting against her, they could probably beat the Ghost Queen in various ways, humiliating and tormenting her in every way.

Fan Xiao wasn't particularly surprised and asked about something else: "Are there many instances like this in the 011 section where the dungeon boss 'claims territory' and creates restricted areas?"

"Uh...it shouldn't be too many, right?"

Conrad said uncertainly, "As far as I know, there are no more than 10 disaster instances that no one has dealt with, the kind that are connected to reality and often drag ordinary people into them and harm them."

“There are naturally more dungeons that are both difficult and dangerous than these, but most of these dungeons are independent space dungeons that will not invade reality and will not even stay in the same area for a long time.”

"The situation where dungeon bosses carve out their own territory and create restricted areas is quite common in my region. Or rather, this phenomenon is more prevalent in regions with a long history."

Tanya suddenly interjected, saying, "After all, most dungeon bosses are not just simple NPCs; they have their own thoughts."

"When the instance is open, they are on the opposing side to the players; after the instance is closed, they have their own private lives."

"Among them are some instance bosses who like to build up their power, or even establish a country."

"The rules of certain instances will also be displayed when the instance is not open. Some instances of this kind can even form 'realms within realms' with completely different rules within the world partition."

Perhaps the conversation had taken hold, because she expanded on the topic, continuing, "I've heard that there are quite a few similar phenomena at node C04. People there are able to cultivate a certain power system with the help of the instance rules."

"Many of the dungeon bosses there will also cooperate with the local regional forces to turn the dungeon into a blessed land for cultivation, a small world, or a major sect. The dungeon bosses will be given titles such as the cave master of the blessed land, the island master of the immortal island, or the sect master of the Dao sect."

"This culture is quite prevalent throughout node C04, and it's a well-known feature of the Evolution game."

"Many players from the outer nodes went there and even thought that some kind of 'spiritual revival' was taking place there."

Fan Xiao: "..."

His junior sister, Yu Xuezhao, is a player on node C04.

It seems that Yu Xue Zhao also possesses a cultivation-themed instance, which is currently docked at node C04.

Unlike items, dungeons cannot be carried around.

Because she was too far from node G08, Yu Xuezhao did not move her instance over, which caused her overall strength to drop significantly.

Uh... Could Yu Xuezhao also be one of the cave masters, island masters, or sect masters?

Why does this feel so incredibly frustrating?

Won't this cause problems?

Conrad's curiosity was piqued by Tanya's words, and he asked, "After all, the dungeon boss and the players are on opposing sides. If they cooperate too deeply... can the dungeon continue to advance without fighting against the players?"

"At node C04, there must be dungeon bosses that have completely given up on advancing, otherwise this mode wouldn't be so popular."

Tanya continued, "I guess you could say there are all sorts of people in this world."

“Let’s talk about this again when we have time,” Van Shaw said, turning to Conrad. “Regarding the matter I just mentioned, can you help with that?”

"of course can!"

Conrad nodded and said, "Settling the villagers of Red and White Village is no problem. The fact that the Red and White Village dungeon boss has been defeated is a good thing for the entire 011 district."

“If this matter is reported to the governor, there is a certain possibility that he will bestow some reward upon you.”

"After all, the Red and White Village instance is a major concern for the Governor."

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Fan Xiao said.

"Mr. Fan, you're too kind. This matter only needs to be reported; it's no trouble at all."

Conrad said, "I will arrange accommodations for the villagers of Red and White Village."

"In order to ensure the smooth progress of this relocation, Lach City has prepared a huge amount of supplies."

"Moreover, Lach City has been operating for more than half a year, and providing housing and jobs for less than 300 people is not a problem at all."

"Then let's agree on that," Fan Xiao said with a smile.

……

After making his promise, Conrad did not give a perfunctory response but immediately reported the information about the Red and White Village strategy and the defeat of the Demon Queen.

Meanwhile, after learning that Fan Xiao could make the buses in his fleet fly, he arranged for Fan Xiao's fleet to fly a short distance at low altitude before cutting in line into the so-called "rich people's fleet".

Back in the lead car of the Little Crab Bus, Tanya looked out the window and noticed that there were many more uniformed players patrolling and keeping watch.

She looked away and said with a sigh, "No matter where you are, people are divided into classes."

"The division of people into different classes is an age-old phenomenon," You Guo also remarked with feeling. "Unless God makes everyone have the same intelligence, be born into families of the same social class, and develop similar personalities... the world loses its diversity, and people can be equal, but how is that possible?"

"You guys cut in line and you've even come up with some life lessons from it." Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "If you're so bored, go wander around and find out about the new dungeon. Don't forget why you came here."

“Yes! The dungeon… wait!” You Guo looked at Fan Xiao and asked, “You… Brother Fan, didn’t you come here for the dungeon items?”

"That's not the main purpose, but it would be even better if we could find some good items along the way."

Fan Xiao replied, "After arriving in Lach City and settling the villagers of White Village, I need to take care of a personal matter."

“Is that so…” You Guo sighed, “It’s such a pity that we can’t continue to act together and look after each other.”

"They even look out for each other... They really know how to flatter themselves!"

Owen curled his lip and said disdainfully, "If you want to curry favor, just say so. Saying these nice words in front of Mr. Fan is just hypocrisy!"

Yu Guo: "..."

If Fan Xiao hadn't been there, he really wanted to team up with Xiao Tian and Xu Xuan to beat this sycophant into a pig's head!

"Don't worry, I'll come back to you guys after I've taken care of my personal matters. We've been teammates through thick and thin together, after all," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "You guys should take advantage of this time to gather as much information as possible about the new dungeon."

……

The convoy moved forward in an orderly manner.

Fan Xiao finished his chat with Tanya and the others and took out the Key of Mammon, which had been gathering dust in his storage space.

A red card appeared in his hand.

This is the most basic Mammon Key, not as good as the advanced version that Tina possesses.

Since obtaining it, he has rarely used it... mainly because he has encountered many things recently and gotten involved in a lot of trouble. When he gets busy, he forgets that he was originally a Mammon.

At least he had a teacher at the Court of Life, and now a senior sister has come, and even a junior sister... He has collected medium, large, and extra-large cups, constantly reminding him that he is an assassin with powerful backers.

Not only is there no one around Mammon, but he also doesn't usually have any missions, and no one contacts him often... This makes it easy for him to forget his identity.

Oh, right, he's also part of the One Wing organization.

This time, after unexpectedly encountering members of the Mammon group, Fan Xiao remembered that he still had a "Mammon Key".

I haven't been surfing the internet in a long time, and I wonder if there's been any big news lately?

With anticipation, Fan Xiao held the red card in his hand, connecting his spirit with it.

Suddenly, the user interface appeared in his mind.

He successfully connected to the "Mammon Network" of node G02.

"As expected, Division 011 has officially completed its docking with certain time-space stations. The spaces are now connected, and we can use the Key of Mammon without having to go to the station."

Fan Xiao was in a good mood because he encountered no obstacles using the props.

When he went to the "Red and White Village" instance before, the station he arrived at could see the city's edge street scene in Zone 011, but in terms of space, the two sides were still blocked.

The best proof is that players from other regions cannot go directly from the station; they must go through a dungeon to enter this area.

The two sides are connected, but not completely.

He assumed that other stations were the same, but he didn't expect that the 011 section was already connected to some stations.

At least the transmission of information about the Key of Mammon will no longer be hindered.

Fan Xiao immediately immersed himself in the "Mammon Network" and began surfing the internet.

Mammon is likely the largest player organization in the entire Evolution game.

Because of its exceptionally strong compatibility—players with strong personalities, unwavering self-reliance, who always pursue their own nature and are not bound by rules all have the potential to join Mammon.

For example, his cheap teacher Tina, who is a high-ranking member of the Living Tribunal, is also a high-ranking member of Mammon.

Conversely, Mammon's top brass may not necessarily be able to enter the Tribunal for Life.

They might be rejected during the initial screening.

Mammon does not have the same rigorous screening process or demanding membership requirements as other player groups.

Therefore, Mammon's scale is ridiculously large.

Among all the "player organization identification items", the Key of Mammon has the most comprehensive and powerful functions.

The reason for this is that Mammon's founder, the super player "Chaos Tide," possesses an S-class item specializing in spacetime—the Key to the Gate.

There are rumors that his abilities also lean towards time and space attributes.

Combined with the effects of "Key to the Gate," she is second to none in manipulating time and space.

Therefore, Mammon possesses an advantage that no player organization can match—it has spread its influence to almost every node in all time and space.

At almost every node, there were Mammon's men.

The "Mammon network" of all nodes is interconnected and not isolated.

With the "Mammon Network", it is even possible to broadcast a message across all time and space nodes.

Even game companies sometimes rely on Mammon Networks for their business.

Some have suspected that every time a new node is created in the evolution game, the super player "Chaos Tide" will go there to "check in" and set up a hidden "space base station" at the new node.

Through these base stations, she has virtually extended the "Mammon Network" to nodes across all times and spaces.

With the "Key to the Gate" item at her disposal, her "Mammon Network" is even more stable and efficient than the network laid out by the game company.

The latter probably only has an advantage over the former in terms of "access capacity".

Fan Xiao browsed the news on the player forum.

At this moment, he is connected to the node network of node G02, so most of the news is about events, big and small, that are happening in node G02.

Recent news has focused on section 011.

After seeing the content on the forum, many Mammon players rushed to the 011 section, hoping to try their luck.

Fan Xiao's desire for dungeon items was not actually very high, so he only glanced at them briefly before turning his attention to the "All Node Channel".

Through his connection with the prop, he attempted to click on the module with his mind.

As usual, a few lines of notifications popped up—

[Dear Mammon member, the full node channel service is currently only available to members. We have detected that you are not a member, and we recommend that you become a member.]

[Annual Membership Fee: 100 million game coins]

[Click here to register for membership; Xiaoyue will collect the relevant fees on your behalf.]

"..."

One million game coins!

Only for one year!

"Why the hell don't you just rob someone..." Fan Xiao cursed inwardly, thinking, "You damn capitalist!"

It’s different in the past.
