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

Most B-rank players will not easily enter the dungeon until the very last minute.

Accepting a job as someone else's B-base guardian... this phenomenon is extremely rare in backward nodes.

Ai Yuan became curious about the abilities of these two people.

Could it be a thigh?

“No.” The gentleman shook his head. “Don’t expect us to be that great. If our district weren’t short of money to buy fantasy materials to build a safe zone, we wouldn’t be taking on this kind of work to make money. Sigh, the development of our hometown is a long and arduous task… There’s nothing we can do.”

"Brother Fan, they're acting so convincingly," Yan Keke whispered to Fan Xiao. "Just like movie stars. They're clearly just chaotic side players..."

Fan Xiao didn't respond to Yan Keke's words, but directly echoed the gentlemanly man, saying, "Who's not right? Ever since I became a B-level player, I've stayed in this division to develop. Although the prospects for Run in the fusion division are obviously greater, but... home is home after all, who can really leave?"

Yan Keke: "..."

Fan Bingbing's acting skills have declined; his performance is a bit exaggerated... Could it be intentional?

Was it intentional to make it obvious that he was acting?

Suddenly, the roar of an engine came from afar.

Everyone turned around and saw an aircraft flying rapidly through the air.

The aircraft's hatch opened, and two women, one tall and one short, appeared in everyone's view.

The taller one was wearing a business-style blazer, her hair was tied up, and she had a capable and reliable older sister vibe.

The shorter one has a pretty face, is dressed cutely, and has pigtails. She looks young, probably just over twenty.

The capable-looking woman looked down and quickly spotted the gentlemanly man Mo and the smiling man Mada: "You've arrived quite early, there are still ten minutes before the agreed time... Since you're here ahead of time, come on up, let's set off now."

“Wait a moment,” the gentleman said, gesturing to Fan Xiao and the others around him. “They’re all heading to the City of True Love. Since we’ve run into each other… why don’t we set off together?”

"Oh? So many people are here?"

The capable woman was somewhat surprised, but then her face lit up with joy as she said, "It's lucky that we met you before the dungeon even opened."

Meeting in advance, forming a team beforehand, having a brief exchange of skills, and discussing tactical coordination... this is always better than being caught off guard and panicked when a sudden crisis occurs after entering the instance.

The capable woman looked at the petite and cute girl beside her, seemingly seeking her opinion.

The girl said, "I'll leave it to you, Élisabeth."

As she spoke, she looked down at Fan Xiao and the others. Although there was no arrogance in her eyes, there was a slight sense of superiority.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should be the noble lady who hired the B-type guards.

Judging from her calm demeanor, she didn't seem afraid of the B-level dungeon.

She sought out the guardians... presumably either because the family forced her to, or to take an extra precaution.

Anyway, nobles are rich and can do whatever they want!

"Then let's all come up together."

The capable woman turned to the gentleman and the others and said...

Soon, the aircraft, carrying nine people, flew rapidly southwards amidst a crowd of onlookers on the ground.

After flying for about an hour, the outline of a city appeared in the wilderness.

It looks like... it's quite large.

"That's the City of True Love?" Malfoy, with his bushy beard, asked in great surprise. "This scale...it looks like a large city? Is this some kind of dungeon that mirrors reality? How could it appear in this area so suddenly and without any warning, with such a huge area?"

He hadn't heard a thing before... Are those guys with the white epaulets eating shit?!

“After all, it’s a B-level dungeon,” the gentleman’s expression turned serious. “It’s not a big deal that it violates some common sense. Perhaps it’s a dungeon that’s somewhat in line with reality, for example… only we ticket players can see it.”

Chapter 587 Yet Another Princess

"Indeed, only ticket holders can see it."

Fan Xiao confirmed the gentleman's guess and explained, "I detected it using props."

He raised his palm, and a miniature, adorable bunny appeared in his hand.

The rabbit's eyes were slightly out of focus; all that could be discerned was that it was looking out into the distance through the transparent windshield of the aircraft.

"This is a biological artifact used for exploration; it can communicate with me telepathically. It didn't see the outline of the city ahead."

In reality, this was just a miniature rabbit he created using the "Flesh and Blood Progenitor".

The person who truly cannot see the city's outline is Yan Keke.

Yan Keke informed him of this information, and he immediately made a judgment.

“That city is exactly in the direction the ticket indicates; it seems we’ve got it.” The gentleman nodded. “In that case, let’s go.”

"Élisabeth, go on."

The noble lady with pigtails gave instructions to Elise.

During their journey, the group had already exchanged names.

The aristocratic young lady is named Mei, and the capable woman in the suit is named Élisabeth.

Sakura, disguised as a short woman, used the name "Silver," which made Fan Xiao want to complain.

The remaining man among the nine, a dog with dog ears, was named Tai'an... This name reminded Fan Xiao of a teddy bear.

Could this guy have eaten a Teddy bear during the pre-player phase?

Soon, the aircraft flew towards the City of True Love.

Élisabeth prepared to land on the edge of the city.

However, an accident soon occurred.

Just as the aircraft approached within a hundred meters of the city, a sudden burst of intense white light appeared, instantly filling everyone's vision with white.

Fan Xiao immediately caused numerous eyes to grow on his exposed parts, such as the back of his head, palms, backs of his hands, and top of his head, looking in all directions... All the eyes saw was white.

About two seconds later, the white that filled the world without any blind spots disappeared.

Fan Xiao looked around and realized that he was sitting in a classroom without even realizing it.

There were many students in uniforms around.

The other players on the aircraft were also in this classroom, sitting in different places... Four of them had changed their appearance!

By sensing their spiritual aura, Fan Xiao recognized their identities again.

The first one is Sakura. Her short stature is gone, and she has returned to a tall and slender figure. Her plain face has also returned to its original cold and beautiful appearance.

The second person, the noble lady, had turned her black hair blonde, and her face shape was different from before. It seemed that she had undergone some minor adjustments, becoming thinner and less cute, with a more foxy look, and appearing more immature... She originally looked to be in her early twenties, but now she looked no more than 17, a veritable teenage girl.

The remaining two are the gentleman and the smiling man, whose appearances and physiques have also changed somewhat.

At this moment, the player panel pops up automatically, and the announcement sounds in the minds of every player.

The "City of True Love" instance is now open.

[Background Information: The City of True Love is not a city full of romance; its name comes from something the city lord has always longed for but could not obtain—a mutual and unrequited true love.]

In your life, is there someone who makes you happy the moment you see them, miss you when you don't see them, and brings you joy when you think of them? Is there someone you'd be willing to do anything to make them happy, regardless of any personal gain? This person becomes both your source of joy and the root of your troubles…? If so, congratulations, you've found your true love.

However, you may have only found it; it may not necessarily belong to you.

Many people believe they have experienced true love, but in reality, they have only experienced compromises with the opposite sex, or familial affection that develops after a long period of companionship.

For many, true love is the most beautiful thing in the world, but also the most cruel—do you find this statement puzzling?

As a resident of the City of True Love, you might find the answers to your questions in this city that possesses the most authentic and realistic version of the "objective laws of love."

What would make you fall in love with someone?

【hint:】

1. People often use lies to cover up their true thoughts because the truth is always accompanied by various desires and has an extremely ugly side.

2. Please pay attention to the numbers on your forehead.

3. Please abide by the laws of the City of True Love.

[Instance Quest:]

1. Collect all 10 heart-shaped rings.

[2. Obtain Mitchell Sinderson's Ring of Love]

3. To restore the distorted city to normal.

"..."

Fan Xiao glanced around and found that Yan Keke was gone.

That flash of white light just now was both a teleportation signal and a symbol of the dungeon opening.

"The spaceship just arrived, and the instance has already started... Are we the last group of players? Or is it that only the nine of us are participating in this instance?"

While thinking, Fan Xiao communicated with the props... Great, they weren't banned and can be used normally.

There were only nine players in the classroom. Judging roughly... it's highly likely that only these nine people entered this instance.

Fan Xiao took out a mirror from his storage space and looked at himself—the second hint in the game: pay attention to the number on his forehead.

He had already looked at the foreheads of the other players; there were no numbers on them.

Perhaps only you can see your own numbers.

"My face and figure have indeed changed... or rather, returned to normal. There must be a rule in this instance that can forcibly revert everyone's appearance back. I just don't know what the point of such a rule is..."

"My number is 3...3? What does that number mean?"

"Could this also be a cycle instance, with the number representing the number of times it can be reincarnated? 3 times?"

Fan Xiao revealed a thoughtful look, his mind unconsciously recalling his experience in the "Battle of Two Cities" instance.

Ding-a-ling... Just then, the bell rang, but the teacher seemed not to hear it. She took up two more minutes of break time before announcing the end of get out of class and leaving the classroom.

The next second, the classroom became noisy, with students' voices mingling together.

Fan Xiao and the others exchanged glances, then left the classroom and met up outside in the corridor.

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere before, this time, the nine players began to be wary and cautious of each other.

Fan Xiao frowned slightly and turned to Ying and the noble lady Mei, saying, "You two... are not being honest. You even hide your appearance from your teammates."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ying knew what Fan Xiao was up to, and immediately played along, pretending not to recognize him, saying, "You have the right to talk about us? Your previous attitude made you look like a cannibalistic player in slight disguise. What's your purpose in pretending to be a cannibalistic player!"

"Perhaps this is just an act."

The noble lady Mei suddenly said, "First, you pretend to be a cannibalistic player, then once you enter the dungeon, find an opportunity to reveal your true appearance. The contrast will make people instinctively doubt your cannibalistic identity, right?"

"As for the reason for doing this... you're afraid that the use of items is prohibited in the dungeon, and without the support of disguise items, you'll be exposed on the spot if someone suggests checking the ID. So you started planning the contrasting disguise outside the dungeon, right?"

"The cannibalistic players really have it tough. They've come up with all sorts of ingenious ways to hide their identities."

At this point, a sly smile suddenly appeared on her slightly childish face: "My disguise item is unusable, and I suppose yours is too. While items aren't prohibited in this instance, disguise is forbidden. So... Mr. Fan, could you show us the color of your player ID?"

"..."

"You're really clever..." Fan Xiao turned the tables, making his face look extremely ugly.

He said, "No need! Hmph... This is a B-rank dungeon! Does the type of player matter that much? What matters is cooperation! Even cannibalistic players wouldn't dare cause trouble when everything is unclear! Little girl, you're being too attached to appearances!"

"Are you trying to excuse yourself?" Mei chuckled softly. "Mr. Fan, to think of using contrasting disguises to deceive people, just that level of intelligence... well, it's quite different from the average cannibalistic player. Perhaps you really can see the situation clearly."

At this point, she shifted her gaze from Fan Xiao to Ying: "Are you... the young lady who often follows that person around? What a coincidence."

Sakura remained indifferent and did not respond.

She also recognized the noble lady's true identity.

At this moment, the gentlemanly man, Mo, and the smiling man, Ma Da, took a few steps back and moved to Fan Xiao's side.

"Brother, things aren't looking good," Lang Mo said to Fan Xiao. "If something goes wrong, how about we join forces to fight the enemy?"

"Join forces? You guys..."

Fan Xiao looked in the direction they were guarding—the two were on guard against the noblewoman Mei.

He asked, "What's the situation between you and her?"
