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

Lu Baizhi suddenly asked with concern, "Those people are all members of Mammon. You killed them... are you really sure nothing will happen?"

She knew the identity of the Van Schooma disciples.

They also knew the rule that members of Mammon could not kill each other.

Since the information about Fairy Tale Town was made public, Fan Xiao has told her and her sister many secrets.

"No. The strongest evidence is that I haven't seen my bounty poster yet."

Fan Xiao said with a slightly sighing tone, "It seems that the Mammon system handles this matter entirely automatically. The Mammon people don't even have a way to report it. As you can imagine, this rule is not rigid and can be very flexible in private."

"Simply put, as long as you can kill someone without being discovered, that's your skill, and the Mammon authorities won't spend resources to investigate afterwards."

"After all... there are just too many Mammons, scattered across all time-space nodes. How could it be possible to perfectly monitor so many people over such a vast area? There must be ways to evade surveillance. When I kill someone, there must be others killing someone else as well. With the scale extending to all time-space nodes, such a large base, if we were to investigate them all... where would we find so many people to do it?"

"If you're not caught on the spot, it means you'll be fine."

Actually, there was another answer that Fan Xiao didn't say—he felt that "Chaos Tide" was too troublesome and rather lazy, and didn't bother to set up any follow-up investigation department at all.

Based on his previous speculation, Mammon was an organization used by the "Tides of Chaos" to make money. In order to make money safely, she had to establish a rule that prohibited killing each other.

If she really cared about running her business, she wouldn't have stopped showing her face so often.

Investigation? Not a chance.

She herself may not have even been involved in this matter; everything was left to the two AIs, "Big Key" and "Little Key."

He only dares to think these things to himself for now, and will not say them out loud.

Because he had heard that... "The Tide of Chaos" was the king of time and space.

The King of Time and Space... When it comes to spying abilities, he might be several levels more powerful than someone who destroys a nation!

He's not stupid, why would he deliberately court death?

Let's talk about it when we're stronger.

"So, the 'Key to Eliminating Mammon' that you made me pray for before actually worked?" Lu Baizhi asked curiously. "This... must be some kind of new ability of yours, right?"

"I guess so, it's a type of psionic ability," Fan Xiao chuckled. "Once I've recovered, I can show you; it's quite interesting..."

Suddenly, Lu Baizhi's stomach growled a few times, interrupting Fan Xiao's speech.

The little girl's face flushed red instantly, and she stammered, "Well... before, I used up too much power, so..."

"As my spirit recovers, my physical strength will also be depleted... I'll order something to eat."

Fan Xiao called the hotel service again.

He was also a little hungry.

A short while later, the meal was served.

While eating, Fan Xiao checked the props he had seized.

Some B-grade and C-grade items.

Unfortunately, there is no third A-grade item.

Fan Xiao sighed with some regret.

Besides Juan, he later killed two more A-level players—according to information provided by those sycophantic bastards on the Mammon Forum, these two were named Fumin and Guli.

Fumin was using the "Gate to the Demon Realm," but this item was destroyed by the little angel's horizontal slash of the scythe.

The fact that an A-grade item could be destroyed didn't surprise Fan Xiao too much.

During the "Dr. Zhuang's Extermination Battle" that occurred at node G06, when everyone was finally targeting Gu Hange, the blonde woman from the "Absolute Justice" camp directly used her Pale Flame to burn Gu Hange's A-level spatial interference item.

Props are things that cannot be destroyed by normal means.

Some props look like pieces of wood, but if you throw them into a fire and burn them for a month, they won't be damaged in the slightest.

But when faced with forces exceeding their limits... it's surprisingly fragile.

Fumin's A-grade item was destroyed, so he only inherited one B-grade item from Fumin.

As for Gul... her A-grade item was most likely recycled by the evolution game.

At that time, Lu Baizhi's luck was mainly focused on "randomly eliminating the Mammon Key," leaving her no time to think about anything else.

Without Lu Baizhi's help, he didn't have any extra luck to make a wish, and his luck immediately returned to normal levels.

The concept of one-seventh of a person's life did not apply to him... It's a pity, but it's also quite normal.

Oh dear, what a huge loss!

I should have known better than to kill them.

It would be better to keep it for extortion.

However… after glancing at the description of the second A-grade item, Fan Xiao felt quite comforted.

[Rank A Item - Golden Courtyard]

Throughout history, humanity's pursuit and veneration of gold has never ceased. With the rise of alchemy, the pursuit of gold smelting techniques gradually evolved into a vast school of thought, imbuing gold with additional sacred and philosophical significance. It became not only a part of ordinary human desires but also a spiritual pursuit for sorcerers.

The earliest form of alchemy was created through the research of sorcerers.

This technique, combined with the worship of gold, solidified into a symbol existing between illusion and reality, becoming the emblem of the alchemical school.

[Note 1: With this item, you can perform gold refining on all flying living things within a 100-meter radius, including but not limited to matter, energy, and spirit.]

[Note 2: You can extend the range of this item by paying mental energy.]

[Note 3: You can conceptually perform gold alchemy on living beings within the item's coverage area by paying mental energy as a price. The alchemy speed depends on the amount of mental energy you pay.]

The Midas touch... Fan Xiao felt a surge of emotion.

The methods of gods and immortals in myths and legends!

Gold, which originates from supernova phenomena, is incredibly precious in the universe. In many regions, it remains a hard currency and a part of the monetary system.

After all, the conditions for its natural formation are too harsh, and similar items that can create gold are not very common... At least, he has only seen this one since he became a player.

Regardless of how strong this item is, having it... at least you won't be short of money in the future.

Even if you want to indulge in luxury, building a "golden palace" is just a matter of a thought, and its level of "practicality" can be said to be maximized!

Fan Xiao was quite satisfied with the prop.

Whether you're handsome or not is a lifelong matter.

So without much hesitation, he removed the C-rank item he had equipped during the previous battle from the item slot and put this item in.

"Hey... Fan Xiao, why are your chopsticks golden? And your plate too..."

Lu Baizhi, who was having a meal, suddenly noticed something unusual on the table.

Curious, she squeezed Fan Xiao's chopsticks with her hand and exclaimed in surprise, "It looks like real gold? Could it be... a golden courtyard?"

She remembered one of the prayers that Vanshaw had made her make not long ago—to obtain the "Golden Courtyard".

Fan Xiao nodded: "It is indeed it, an A-grade item."

As he spoke, he glanced at his left hand—on the back of his left hand, there was a rather irregular golden circle symbol that looked like a snake biting its own tail.

This is the true form of the "Golden Garden".

As mentioned in the item description, it is just a symbol and has no physical existence.

When the item is not activated, this symbol will be hidden and cannot be seen by others.

Once the item is activated, it will appear and emit a faint golden glow.

"Was it stolen from that...that transvestite?"

Lu Baizhi asked.

She was referring to Juan.

“He’s not a transvestite, he’s gay,” Fan Xiao said with a hint of disdain. “Although he dresses like a bottom, he’s actually a top.”

"How did you know?" Lu Baizhi asked with a strange look in her eyes.

“…Zhi Zi, what are you thinking!” Fan Xiao wanted to roll her eyes, but then thought that would be too coquettish, so she calmly said, “I just guessed it from his behavior.”

He changed the subject, saying, "By the way, how's your recovery going?"

"Hmm... I'm still a little tired."

Lu Baizhi's complexion wasn't very healthy, it was a bit pale: "My mental energy is gradually recovering, but... I still feel so tired, I can't seem to muster any energy, I'm so sleepy..."

"Hmm... I'm afraid it's shaken the very foundation of our spirit," Fan Xiao guessed.

"The origin of the spirit?" Lu Baizhi waited for an explanation.

Fan Xiao then thought of his junior sister Xiao Yin, who would always appear completely drained after using her spiritual energy too frequently and depleting her lifespan. It would take her several days or even a week or two to recover.

During this period, both her physical and mental strength will recover very slowly.

Even if you take drugs, they won't be very effective.

Even if physical and mental strength are fully restored, the body will be in a weakened state, and when spiritual energy is activated again, the consumption is often several times that of the normal state.

This state, which is similar to a negative buff, requires gradual recuperation to heal.

After a moment's thought, Fan Xiao used a vivid analogy to explain: "Mental strength, like water, is a renewable resource, continuously generated from the source of the spirit."

"But renewable resources must also be used rationally."

"Normally, you don't expend much mental energy, so it recovers quickly. But if you draw too much at once..."

"Just like water resources, if water consumption exceeds the rate of water cycle renewal, it will lead to water depletion?"

Lu Baizhi understood.

"Pretty much," Fan Xiao nodded. "Recovery is possible, but it will be much slower than usual. It will take some time to recuperate before you can return to your normal healthy state."

"Is that so... And you? Are you alright?"

Lu Baizhi asked with concern.

Fan Xiao's condition was much more serious than hers before.

"It should take five or six days to recover. Just avoid using your psionic energy excessively during this time."

Fan Xiao sighed softly as he finished speaking.

I never expected that using "Breaking the Limits - Taiyi Formless" once would require almost a week of recuperation... I feel like I'm going to be mercilessly mocked by my little angel again.

Most importantly, his "Breaking Limit" was not only an incomplete version, but it could only extend the scythe and could not be maintained for long... Lu Baizhi could give him a "20 times mental strength amplification buff" for about a minute by fully activating his talent, but in reality, he could not maintain it for even a minute.

Because my mental energy is being depleted too quickly!

He can only support 2048 little angels at most, for a few seconds.

This is all under the premise that they do nothing.

Once they summon their scythes and unleash their "Breaking Limit - Formless Ease" attack, his remaining time will be reduced again.

The void created by the little angels will likely be filled back up by the world's self-healing instinct after about two seconds—meaning his "breaking the limit" can last for two seconds.

If he doesn't reduce the number of little angels within those two seconds and keeps maintaining 2048 of them together, he will probably collapse from exhaustion after the "extreme" ends.

If he has the little angels reduce their number to no more than 8 during the "Breaking the Limit" event, then after the "Breaking the Limit" event ends, he will probably still have the capacity to have Qiqi increase the number to 2048 again, thus achieving a second "Breaking the Limit".

He would only be completely exhausted after the second time.

This can be considered a relatively flexible usage.

Although the effect was short-lived and regrettable, Fan Xiao was still very satisfied with the overall effect of "breaking the limit".

Despite its many shortcomings, the incomplete version of "Breaking Limit" has one huge advantage – the attack range limitation of the Blood Scythe has been removed.

As long as he has enough mental power, he can instantly kill everything within the horizon simply by standing still... No, not just the horizon, he can kill everything in his field of vision by changing the direction of his strike.

"I still need to find a way to boost my spirit... Right! I can try to find those dungeons where I can get an S-rank rating."

"If I can obtain several B-grade spiritual energies specializing in mental amplification in these types of dungeons, and stack them together... even if Bai Zhi isn't by my side in the future, it won't affect my ability to unleash my ultimate skill."

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao couldn't help but reminisce about his experience in his junior sister's "Mone Tower" instance.

At that time, he could awaken any psychic power he desired.

After creating the "Omnipotent Domain" with this characteristic, and then combining it with the "Angel of Slaughter", it's practically an invincible support with an invincible attack... Invincibility is written all over its face!

Unfortunately, for now, we can only reminisce about it.
