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

That would fall outside the realm of recovery.

"Boss, this is the person I mentioned in the message..."

Nika approached Jens, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and began to explain Van Shaw's identity.

Juan looked at Fan Xiao, whose appearance, physique, aura, and temperament had all undergone tremendous changes, and frowned slightly—he heard Nika's low-voiced report and knew that Fan Xiao was a player who had suddenly joined the game, so he couldn't help but feel some repulsion and wariness.

He's now on edge.

"This guy doesn't seem to have any tools that can directly identify him. Hmm... looks like I've passed the first hurdle."

While thinking it over, Fan Xiao suppressed his instinctive urge to act.

We can't take action yet!

The time is not right yet.

He only has a few days' worth of luck left—he accumulated it in the Red and White Village dungeon.

There aren't enough for Juan's A-grade items yet.

Moreover, before he can kill members of the Mammon organization, he must first have Qiqi use her ability of jealousy to eliminate the Mammon Key from these people.

Otherwise... he didn't want to be hunted down by Mammon.

Even if these "crazy people" have concerns about "what if I can't beat them and get killed" after seeing the bounty, their thinking is probably dominated by various natural impulses!

This situation can be avoided by natural means.

The little angel's ability to eliminate jealousy is random and may not necessarily yield the Key of Mammon.

To achieve this, one must use luck to fix the corresponding future.

In any case, everything requires luck, and he doesn't have that much energy to expend right now.

Therefore, he can only take action once the arrest team finds Lu Baizhi.

Meanwhile, Nika had already finished telling Jens about Vanshaw.

Jens turned his gaze to Vanshaw and could indeed sense the presence of the Key of Mammon.

He nodded and said, "Now that you know about it, let's get involved. You have to follow my instructions. By the way, you should be a B-level player, right?"

“That’s right.” Fan Xiao nodded.

"The others haven't arrived yet, let's wait a little longer."

James said, "I'm sure Nika has already told you about our situation. Thanks to Mr. Juan's involvement, we don't need to wait for the search items to cool down... which means we don't have to wait until tomorrow."

“Mr. Juan has agreed to help, and we should be able to find that young man today…”

"and many more!"

suddenly!

Juan interrupted Jens and turned his scrutinizing gaze to Fan Xiao: "Your mental strength reaction... is indeed that of a B-level player."

As he spoke, he took out a flashlight-like prop and shone it on Fan Xiao.

This is a B-grade item, like a "demon-revealing mirror," which can reveal the true appearance of someone while they are in disguise.

Is it a coincidence or luck? Fan Xiao's "Flesh and Blood Ancestor" psionic energy is better able to counter this item.

He has completely transformed his body into another person, from the cellular level... even from the genetic level.

This is not just a simple disguise.

He is now genuine, with no pretense whatsoever.

Juan took a picture of Fan Xiao for more than ten seconds, but no abnormalities were found.

Seeing this, Juan relaxed a little, put away the props, and nodded, saying, "Alright, you can continue."

Chapter 565 Lucky Goddess Lu Baizhi

"I passed the level so easily..."

Fan Xiao was slightly surprised when he saw Juan put away the flashlight prop and stop making any further moves.

He had actually prepared to abandon the operation and leave if the ambush plan failed.

It doesn't necessarily have to be successful on the first try.

If he fails this time, he can use his accumulated luck to find Lu Baizhi, and then take Baizhi with him to find Hu An again and confront him head-on.

It's just that we missed an opportunity for a surprise attack; we're confident we can beat him in a head-on fight.

Who would have thought... Juan is so easily fooled? He just used his psionic powers to transform and fooled him?

"No... We can't use Yu Xuezhao and Gu Hange as a reference to evaluate the overall capabilities of other A-level players."

Fan Xiao suddenly realized that he had overestimated the A-level players who were lagging behind!

Yu Xuezhao and Gu Hange are both "rich players" who have no shortage of A-grade items.

Needless to say, they definitely have all the A-grade items for the four basic aspects of attack, defense, recovery, and movement.

In addition, they must have a lot of A-level items in their warehouses that have special functions, such as tracking, counter-tracking, and intelligence gathering.

The effects of A-level items are mostly conceptual and difficult to completely defend against. Trying to fool them with physical disguise is practically impossible.

But other A-level players... don't have this requirement.

Fan Xiao composed himself, remaining neither humble nor arrogant, and resumed his conversation with James.

Besides him, there were five other B-level players involved in this operation, including James.

There are 12 players in total, including Nika and C-level players.

After being mentally tested several times by that lucky girl, James originally planned to gather more people to carry out the encirclement plan.

Later, considering that if the intelligence were leaked, such a high-level prey might be snatched away by someone else, they gave up the idea.

In the end, he only found people he could trust... or rather, people he could barely trust.

Meanwhile, Juan listened to the conversation between Vancho, James, and Nika and gradually became interested.

"This girl you're talking about... seems quite interesting, doesn't she?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao turned his head first to look at Juan, a sharp emotion hidden deep in his eyes.

Nika looked puzzled and said, "Lord Juan, you don't know? I heard you were also involved in this plan."

"I only know that you are looking for a young girl."

Juan said with great interest, "From what you've said... I underestimated the interests you're pursuing. Extraordinary luck... There are many items that can amplify luck, but their effects are generally quite mysterious, sometimes working and sometimes not, and they rarely have any effect. Something as clear as what you've mentioned is regrettably rare... Interesting."

"For Lord Juan, even if the other party is somewhat special, it doesn't mean much."

Jens first flattered him before saying, "Lord Juan, please don't forget our agreement."

Now that Juan has joined the capture operation, the girl's information can no longer be kept secret.

Therefore, he did not deliberately avoid anything during the conversation, lest it cause Juan's displeasure and probing.

As for why he agreed to let Juan join... getting to know an A-level player is a double-edged sword; he can gain benefits, and the other party can also gain benefits from him.

He naturally did not want to reveal his plans this time.

Juan wanted his help, but he didn't really want to get involved.

But would he dare to refuse?

The world doesn't revolve around him; he has to compromise.

"An agreement...hehe, don't worry." Juan said, "I'm just interested. Don't worry about me taking your share of the profits. If that girl is really as amazing as you say, I'll just borrow her for a while at most."

If the potential benefits are modest, he naturally wouldn't break his promise.

If the benefits are great enough... think of a way to indirectly kill all of James and the others, then who would know that he broke his promise?

"Huh? What kind of look is that? Do you want to die?"

Juan suddenly looked at Fan Xiao.

The new participant looked at him with a hint of malice and danger in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao quickly averted his gaze and composed himself, revealing a wary expression.

"Ah……"

Juan chuckled.

The other person was probably afraid he would pick the fruit; it's normal for them to look at him like that.

Moreover, upon seeing him look over, she immediately and tactfully looked away and composed herself... This was normal, and even the result he expected.

The posts he saw on Mammon Network that were full of insults directed at him were the abnormal ones!

Those bastards only talk about him from behind the internet; in reality, he's still quite authoritative... Humph! Don't let him find out who's behind those accounts!

……

Half past six in the evening.

The members of Mammon, who had arranged to meet with James, finally arrived one after another.

Everyone arrived gradually after six o'clock.

After the last person arrived, Jens looked at Nika, who had led Vanshaw over first, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

This guy arrived so early... could he have been slacking off the whole time?

He quickly forgot about such trivial matters and said to the assembled Mammon members, "This is Lord Juan..."

James introduced Juan to his partners to prevent anyone from being ungrateful and offending this arrogant idiot.

At the same time, he also mentioned to Juan the status of his B-level partners.

Calvi, Berger, Andrade, and Eugenio.

As for the C-level members... including Nika, they were all just hired laborers he brought in to do the work. There were 12 of them, but he didn't mention their identities, only that they were his own people.

Juan nodded in satisfaction and said, "You have quite a lot of people. This number can be of great help to me. Now that everyone is here, let's get started. The sooner we catch them, the sooner we can deal with my affairs here."

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Lord Juan.” James nodded.

The search tools he borrowed are still in a cooldown period and cannot be used at the moment; he'll have to wait until tomorrow.

We'll have to rely on Juan's props for now.

Players who have been promoted to A-rank for a long time may lack A-rank items, but they certainly don't lack B-rank items with various functions.

For them, there are two very simple ways to obtain B-grade items.

The first method is naturally to purchase with strong financial resources or to build a large force to collect them—the methods are different, but the essence is the same: spending money to acquire equipment.

The second method carries some risk but is more efficient—find some B-level dungeons that are similar to those in real life, enter them during their closed period, and then wait until they reopen. In this way, you can force your way into a B-level dungeon with the status and strength of an A-level player, quickly clear it, and obtain the rewards.

The downside of doing this is that the dungeon rating won't be very high, the B-grade items you get won't be very good, and it will also affect the number of dungeons needed to advance from A to S... Apart from players who have already given up on advancing, basically no other A-grade players would do something so degrading.

On the other side, after hearing James's words, Juan took out a prop from his storage space—a baseball cap with a magic mirror fixed under the brim, which looked a bit dirty.

Juan tossed the prop to James and said, "You can borrow it for now, return it to me after we catch the person."

"Ok."

After taking the hat, Jens glanced at the item information that popped up on the player panel.

[Rank B Item - The Stalker's Twisted Love]

"..."

James felt a little reluctant to wear it.

He originally intended to give it to his subordinates to use, but the description of the prop's function forced him to abandon the idea.

"The Stalker's Twisted Love" has one prerequisite for use: the item owner must have seen the target they are looking for.

Whether you've seen the target's true face or they've disguised themselves, it meets the usage requirements.

This item will produce a corresponding effect based on the intensity of the owner's desire to find the target.

When the owner of the prop is filled with an extremely twisted desire, the prop can exert its strongest effect—it can even directly penetrate and ignore some of the target's B-level spacetime protection measures, forcibly locking onto the target's most precise location with an error of no more than one meter.

Besides the prerequisite of "having seen it before", another prerequisite must be met to use this B-grade item - you must be in the same world zone as the target.
