The figure of one billion is neither too high nor too low; raising it within a week should not be a problem.

If he wants more... those four escaped guys might leave node G02 and go to other nodes to hide.

At that point, he won't have the energy to chase after them all and engage in some kind of long-distance debt collection campaign.

"Alas, Heaven cherishes life... I hope you can be sensible."

Fan Xiao put away the Key of Mammon in his hand.

A wave of fatigue washed over me.

He didn't try to stay awake; he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

With Fan Qiqi in charge of security, he wasn't worried about being attacked and slept soundly.

……

The next afternoon.

Lu Baizhi opened her eyes and slowly woke up.

After sitting up, she glanced at the sofa not far away—Fan Xiao was holding a red card, his eyes somewhat dazed.

The girl sighed softly to herself, concealing her deep disappointment.

Actually, she woke up an hour ago.

At that time, Fan Xiao was already sitting on the sofa.

A man and a woman alone in a room, their desires ignited, and... Fan Xiao ended up playing Key of Mammon for an entire hour!

Lu Baizhi couldn't help but feel discouraged and frustrated.

She couldn't help but doubt her own charm... Didn't her sister always say she was a lewd succubus? How come Fan Xiao wasn't interested at all?

She didn't spend the entire hour pretending to be asleep.

With such a great opportunity, and her sister not around to get in her way, how could she not seize it?

So, while pretending to be asleep, she recalled the various tricks her sister had taught her, kicking off the covers, lazily turning over, accidentally revealing her belly button, accidentally tugging at her collar to show her cleavage, accidentally crossing her legs to strike a seductive pose, and accidentally letting out alluring soft moans in her sleep...

Despite her shame, she tried every trick in the book!

However, they achieved nothing.

Will Fan Xiao be in trouble...?

Because there was no feedback, Lu Baizhi felt too bored and couldn't pretend to be asleep any longer, so she had no choice but to "wake up".

“Fan Xiao…”

The girl was sitting on the bed in a duck-like position, with her "shoulders slipping down" and part of her clothes sliding down her right shoulder, revealing her fair neck and delicate collarbone.

She rubbed her eyes slightly and asked, "What time is it now?"

"...5 p.m."

Fan Xiao looked at Lu Baizhi, but did not expose her for pretending to be asleep for an hour.

Although it would be quite interesting to directly confront her and I'm sure I'd see some pretty interesting reactions, the little girl is shy, so I'll refrain from teasing her.

During that hour, he saw many erotic scenes that were both innocent and seductive—it wasn't that he was truly averse to women or unmoved by various temptations... Just an hour earlier, he had gotten into arguments with many people on the Mammon Forum, and had gotten a little carried away, engaging in a long online debate.

He discovered that these Mammons were truly fearless!

His record of killing three A-level players in a row speaks for itself, yet these guys still dare to mess with his memes, spread rumors about him, and use all sorts of ambiguous statements to imply that his relationship with Juan is improper, and that he may have been rejected by Juan before and is now back for revenge.

TNND……

Fan Xiao decided that he had to teach the troublemakers a lesson!

I can't end up like Tina, being given the nickname "Super Lolita" and being dragged out and toyed with every day in the whole node channel.

We must establish our authority!

Those bastards need to be told that he's not someone to be messed with!

This also gives him a chance to showcase his exceptional ability to find people, making the four escaped A-level players give up completely and obediently return the money to him.

Following Mammon's internet connection to find someone... this requires Lu Baizhi's cooperation.

"Huh...it's five o'clock?" Lu Baizhi said, feigning surprise. "Did I...sleep for so long?"

Gardenia, you've gone bad. You must have already checked the time on the player panel... Fan Xiao naturally wouldn't say what was on his mind, and gave him a way out, saying, "During the recovery of spiritual essence, this is normal."

He smiled slightly and asked with concern, "Are you still tired? If you are, take a nap."

"I'm feeling a little better. I can do normal activities now, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Lu Baizhi got out of bed and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

About half an hour later, she came out with her hair in pigtails and light makeup. She had changed into a new dress with a multi-layered lace trim that reached above her knees, revealing her fair calves. Her white ankle socks reached her calves, giving her a youthful and energetic look.

Sister is right, Fan Xiao's favorite thing is legs... Lu Baizhi keenly noticed Fan Xiao's scrutinizing gaze, which fell on her calves and pure white socks.

She awkwardly brought her knees together, feeling her cheeks burning. She quickly tried to distract Fan Xiao by saying, "Um... Fan Xiao, what do we do next? Are we just going to wait here until our spiritual essence recovers?"

“Come with me… um, let’s teach a few people a lesson,” Fan Xiao replied.

"Teach someone a lesson?" Lu Baizhi was taken aback. "Is there a new enemy?"

“They’re not really enemies, just a few glib-tongued guys,” Fan Xiao said. “Perfect timing. I have something I want to tell you, and I’m sure you have a lot of questions on your mind… Let’s talk as we walk.”

Chapter 574 Getting More and More Unruly

“S-class psionic energy, simply put, is psionic energy born from the combination of the concept of the pillars of the universe and the human spirit.”

Fan Xiao sat on the "magic flying carpet" and explained the relevant knowledge of S-level psionic energy to Lu Baizhi.

Although neither of them had recovered much of their mental strength, it did not affect their ability to use the items.

The flying carpet carrying the two of them at this moment is a secondary creation of a B-grade item by Lu Baizhi.

[Rank B Item - Princess Aisha: A Different Kind]

This is an item with a dark fairy tale background. Aisha is a princess of the magical kingdom of Arendelle. She has a rebellious personality since childhood and likes to collect some strange and wonderful magical items. As the owner of this item, Lu Baizhi's identity is set as Princess Aisha, and she can freely summon all the magical items that Aisha possesses for use.

Flying carpets are one of them.

As a qualified flying carpet, in addition to having the ability to fly, its sturdiness is also exaggeratedly exaggerated. Its edges and corners are very sharp, and it can easily cut through steel plates tens of meters thick when it flies out... Well, the fastest flight speed of the magic flying carpet is even faster than the third cosmic velocity. As we all know, the greater the speed, the stronger the kinetic energy, so it is perfectly reasonable for the flying carpet to be able to cut a group of people in half when it flies out.

"The concept of 'Cosmic Pillars'?" Lu Baizhi asked Fan Xiao. "I've heard some rumors about S-level psionic energy, but not in detail. What exactly are the concepts of 'Cosmic Pillars'?"

Fan Xiao shook his head slightly: "I'm not entirely sure what exactly they are. Even the 'universe' in the so-called pillars of the universe is definitely different from the universe as we know it by common sense. Just in terms of scale... think about how big the scope of the Evolution Game is? The pillars of the universe represented by S-level psionic energy should refer to something deeper, and it definitely has nothing to do with a single world partition."

He didn't delve too deeply into this topic, which he himself didn't understand, and went straight to his psychic abilities: "My psychic abilities... I'm sure you've already guessed what I'm talking about."

"Are you lucky?"

Lu Baizhi asked subconsciously.

She recalled some of Fan Xiao's unusual behavior over the years.

For example, even though he finds dungeons easy, he's sometimes not very proactive and spends a lot of time in the real world, seemingly not very interested in leveling up his character... Whenever Fan Xiao is in this state, he's very unlucky and needs her help to counteract his bad luck in the early stages.

Later on... even she couldn't hold on any longer.

She had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on: Fan Xiao was likely able to accumulate his luck, at the cost of not being blessed by luck during the accumulation period.

The older sister had also guessed this, and had asked him directly not long ago. Fan Xiao did not deny it, which can be considered an admission.

"To be precise, it is the power to directly lock onto one of the infinite possibilities of the future and make it collapse into reality; luck is just an external manifestation of it."

Fan Xiao said with a hint of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and regret), "This power is exaggerated... or rather, every S-rank psionic energy is exaggerated, which is why they are not so easy to awaken..."

He began to talk about the difference between an S-class potential psychic and a true S-class psychic, and then extended the topic by talking about something that happened ten years ago.

It is the story of the young Fan and Lu Baizhi when they met.

Lu Baizhi had participated in the "Battle Against Dr. Zhuang," and although she was disconnected midway through, she still remembered the basic information about Dr. Zhuang.

Therefore, she was able to process this past story very smoothly.

She understood everything as soon as Fan Xiao finished speaking.

"No wonder my luck started to change when I was eight years old. So that's how it is... It turns out that my luck should have belonged to you."

Lu Baizhi, who was being stared at by Fan Xiao, looked away and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I... I think I took something from you."

"No, luck is a blessing I'm sending you voluntarily."

Fan Xiao pointed to his head: "What happened 10 years ago is still vivid in my mind, as clear as if it were yesterday."

"The reason you feel like you stole something from me is mainly because the past in your mind now is a false substitute memory woven by Dr. Zhuang."

"So you subconsciously deny blessing rituals that don't exist in your cognition, and feel like you've gotten a bargain."

He shook his head slightly and continued, "That past was beautiful for both of us; it can't be described as 'stealing'."

"Like you and Xi Ning, would you calculate who gave more and who gave less in your relationship from childhood to adulthood? Would you calculate who benefited more?"

"No, my sister and I have a very good relationship."

Lu Baizhi shook her head subconsciously.

Xi Ning... Fan Xiao calls him so affectionately.

Even she had never called her sister's name so affectionately before.

Lu Baizhi's attention was instantly diverted, and her eyes became slightly sharp.

"..."

Fan Xiao pretended not to see through the girl's thoughts and said as usual, "We used to have a very good relationship, so I won't calculate whether I've gained or lost."

"If we look at the past with purely self-interested eyes, what emotion is left? Humans are not purely rational beings."

“A beautiful past is a treasure.”

His words successfully steered Lu Baizhi's wandering attention back on track.

"But……"

Lu Baizhi shook her head vigorously, looking somewhat confused, and said, "I...I can't remember anything."

“Dr. Zhuang’s ability to interfere with our memories must come from A-level psionic energy,” Fan Xiao said. “I guess… he didn’t use any memory seal, but rather completely deleted our memories, leaving nothing behind, and replaced the blank with a false memory.”

At this point, he shook his head slightly: "It's highly unlikely that I can recover on my own. Even I only fully recovered that memory through external implantation..."

He recounted his experience in the "Mone Tower" instance.

The copy rules manifested past events, all of which were then crammed into his brain... Strictly speaking, he didn't regain his memories, but rather had a "new memory" added to them.

In the past, with the help of luck, he had recalled some fragmented images of his older sister, Gu Hange—this could probably be considered "memory implantation" rather than "recovery of past memories."

Ultimately, the human brain is constructed from a complex arrangement of matter.

If memories exist in both the brain and the mind, then considering only the former, the essence of memory might simply be a series of neural circuits.

Under the influence of luck, the arrangement of matter forms new neural circuits, bringing new memories... As long as the probability is not zero, it will inevitably happen to him.

"If you want to 'restore' your memories, once we get back, I can use Coco's abilities to weave a replica of it one-to-one and add it to your mind, covering up that false memory from the past."

Fan Xiao looked at Lu Baizhi, who seemed a little dejected, reached out and touched the girl's hair, and smiled, "Of course, I personally think it's unnecessary. We've been fortunate enough to meet again, and that's the most important thing. Instead of dwelling on the past, we should focus on the present and the future."

"The past...the past is also very important!"

Surprisingly, Lu Baizhi didn't listen to advice and insisted, "Um... the woven memories might be a bit strange, right? After all, it's from Fan Xiao's perspective. How about... I go and recover them in Xiao Yin's instance too? The memories recovered in the instance should unfold from my perspective."

I'm worried you'll get a hard time once you go in... Fan Xiao shook his head: "The Silver dungeon is a bit special. People without past memories can't clear it through 'enlightenment,' they can only rely on brute force."

"And once you go in, your 'realm' contains my teenage self and Dr. Zhuang... The main danger comes from my teenage self. I... or rather, my teenage self, can be considered a restricted version of an S-class psychic."

"Unless you also possess S-class psionic abilities, otherwise..."

Fan Xiao did not continue speaking.

Lu Baizhi understood, and her mood became even more frustrated.

Memories woven using Yan Keke's abilities refresh the falsehoods of the past... but in the end, aren't they still false?

Lu Baizhi was delighted after hearing Fan Xiao's story.

It turns out I've known Fan Xiao for so long.

Would you call this childhood sweethearts?
