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

[Player Category: White-name Player]

Player ID: G080105551

[Your level has increased to D rank, granting you one talent upgrade opportunity. Do you wish to use it?]

"A D-level player... I was right after all."

Seeing the prompt on the panel, Fan Xiao wasn't particularly surprised.

After all, after returning from the sacrificial island last time, he guessed that he might be upgraded this time.

It's just a natural progression now.

The fact that D-level players had an extra item slot made him quite happy.

Having an extra item slot is equivalent to having an extra ability, which not only increases combat power but also allows you to handle more combat scenarios.

Fan Xiao looked at the description of the new item he had acquired.

[D-Rank Item - Duke Rabbit]

[In the corrupt Rabbit Kingdom, a great revolutionary wave has finally been set off. The rabbit people are shouting, "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" They are determined to overthrow the mountain of nobles that is pressing down on them. The rabbit nobles, as the old ruling class, have gradually become detestable objects that rabbits hate and want to beat.]

[Note: Summons a Bunny Duke who can do a bunny dance, attracting the aggro and attacks of everyone present. The duration of the effect depends on the enemy's mental strength.]

"..."

Fan Xiao recalled that when they were in the staff dormitory, a player threw a "Bunny Baron" into their room, which attracted all the hatred and attacks from him and the Lu Xining sisters.

This Duke Bunny... could it be part of a series of items?

Will there be a Rabbit King later on?

Of course, despite the complaints, Fan Xiao was still quite satisfied with the prop.

This is a control-type item.

When used in conjunction with his "Vampire" ability, if the enemy doesn't have any defensive items, he can basically wipe them out in one go.

"Judging from your expression, you got a good item, didn't you?"

Lu Xining's voice brought Fan Xiao back to his senses from the player panel.

"That's it."

Fan Xiao met the little girl's gaze and said, "Besides the items, the player levels have also increased. By the way, you weren't teleported away?"

He wasn't teleported away, probably because he became a D-level player.

What is the reason for the relationship between Lu Xining and her sister?

Lu Xining replied, "Although we have completed all the dungeon quests, the dungeon's closing time has not yet arrived, so as long as we do not choose to leave voluntarily, we can stay here for the time being. Of course, we cannot go outside the dungeon."

"Fan Xiao, you've become a D-level player?"

Lu Baizhi cast a curious glance at her: "What changes have occurred between a D-level player and an E-level player?"

"The most obvious change is that there is one more item slot in the inventory, allowing you to equip four items at the same time. The game also gives upgrade rewards: a ticket to a D-level dungeon and a bottle of D-level evolution potion."

Fan Xiao didn't hide anything and explained to the two of them in detail: "In addition to that, a new permission has been added—'world map' permission."

"You've all seen the specific effects; it allows you to freely choose whether to go to the world zone outside the dungeon after the dungeon ends."

He paused here, looked at Lu Baizhi, and Fan Xiao reminded her, "After you go back this time, you can do the dungeons on your own. Baizhi, you don't need to wait for me."

"Huh?" Lu Baizhi asked, "Um...aren't I still being employed by you?"

"The employment relationship will be suspended for now."

Fan Xiao explained, "I'm not going back with you this time; I'm going to Division 004."

He glanced at the three large bags of bones on the ground and sighed, "These children were all orphans in life, and we don't know where they came from or where they should be buried. I've thought about it and decided to hold a sea burial for them. I hope they can eventually drift back to their hometowns."

This somewhat heavy topic caused both sisters to fall silent.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao took the initiative to change the subject, saying, "Besides that, I've always been quite curious about the situation in the other world divisions. This is a good opportunity to take a good look at the current situation of Division 004, and I can also visit Li Wendong and his daughter to see how they are doing."

"So, I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon."

"How long will it take for you to come back?"

Lu Baizhi's face showed a slightly frustrated expression.

From her perspective, ever since becoming a prospective player, Fan Xiao has been by her and her sister's side, experiencing the dungeons together.

The three of them were inseparable during the three consecutive dungeons.

Now that they're suddenly saying they have to separate... Lu Baizhi felt a strong sense of reluctance.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in less than a week."

Fan Xiao said, "I'm just going to take a look, it's like a vacation. How long can I stay?"

"While I'm away, you guys should do a few more dungeons and try to level up to D-rank players as soon as possible, then we can all team up together."

"Yes! I will!"

Lu Baizhi nodded emphatically.

"By the way," Fan Xiao asked Lu Xining, "you still need evolution potions, right?"

“I don’t need any more,” Lu Xining replied. “My evolution rate is already 26%, and this dungeon reward gave me two more evolution potions, so reaching 29% shouldn’t be a problem.”

"In that case."

Fan Xiao took out three bottles of medicine from his storage space, handed them to Lu Baizhi, and said with a smile, "Consider this an advance on your salary. Hurry up and catch up."

Chapter 88 Star Memory City

After exchanging some words with the Lu sisters and giving them some instructions, Fan Xiao retrieved the incomplete data he had previously obtained from the underground research institute from his storage space.

Although these materials are missing the most important parts, they are very detailed in terms of basic theories and research directions.

Following this direction, it's probably only a matter of time before the J4 agent is developed.

If we hand it over to the Special Affairs Bureau, we might be able to get a spot in the safe zone for our family.

He'd already gotten a spot in the safe zone, so he'd better leave this benefit to the two sisters.

"Thank you."

Lu Xining took the documents and nodded.

Lu Baizhi said in a reluctant tone, "Fan Xiao, come back soon."

After a brief farewell, they chose to leave the instance, their figures disappearing in front of the zoo gate.

After the two left, Fan Xiao took out a D-grade evolution potion from his storage space and put it in his mouth.

It tastes similar to an E-grade evolution potion, but the reaction is stronger.

I could clearly feel my body getting hot for a while before the temperature came down.

Fan Xiao glanced at the evolution rate displayed on the player panel—

Evolution rate: 32%

"It's increased by 3%. I wonder what the maximum evolution rate is for a D-level player?"

Fan Xiao stretched his body and found that his physical fitness had only improved slightly, without any significant leaps in development.

I do have a vague feeling that my eyesight seems to have improved.

It seems that I can smell... or rather, distinguish more scents.

My hearing seems to have improved as well.

A cool night breeze blew by, and Fan Xiao felt it against his face, noticing that the chill seemed to have lessened somewhat compared to before.

"Could it also have resistance to cold, heat, or other conditions?"

After some initial testing, Fan Xiao determined that the evolution after 30% seemed to no longer be a monotonous improvement in strength, reaction, stamina, etc.

This is a good thing.

"Next is..."

Fan Xiao stopped his physical examination and focused his attention on opportunities to improve his talent.

He was given such an opportunity to upgrade from a preparatory player to an E-level player.

Now, players who have upgraded to D-level have also received it.

It can be basically concluded that every time a player's level increases, their talent will also increase.

Without much hesitation, Fan Xiao took advantage of the opportunity.

"Upgrade the talent 'Angel of Slaughter'."

[Talent "Angel of Death" is being upgraded... Completed]

[Summoning Time: 120s]

Cooldown time: 6 hours

Your "Angel of Death" has acquired a new original sin: Gluttony.

[Gluttony: The Angel of Death devours the spiritual essence of the lives it kills, transforming it into your power. This power can not only restore your spiritual strength but also, to some extent, increase your spiritual potential.]

[Note 1: It's so great that this adorable little one can find its own food; you no longer have to worry about being drained dry by her!]

[Note 2: The Angel of Death has awakened the five deadly sins and gained a certain degree of autonomy. When you are in mortal danger, she will take the initiative to protect you.]

"Qiqi has gained autonomy..."

Fan Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.

This function may seem useless at first glance, since he would definitely summon Fan Qiqi if he were in mortal danger.

However, upon closer reflection, it does have a significant effect.

Human beings are not robots; they will always have moments of weakness.

During periods when his nerves aren't on edge, the warning and defense work can be entirely entrusted to this little girl.

For example, when he was on the time-travel train, he could sleep soundly without worry.

Of course, being able to sleep doesn't mean he actually sleeps; sleeping on a train looks suspiciously like he's trying to get attention.

"And...binge eating."

"Every time Qiqi takes a life, she absorbs and filters the other person's spiritual essence, then feeds it back to me, restoring my spiritual energy and increasing my spiritual limit."

"And the upper limit of mental strength directly affects Qiqi's attack power..."

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao subconsciously turned around and looked inside the zoo gate.

There are many animals inside.

There are many players in the staff dormitory.

And then there's Director Chen.

If we kill them all...

"..."

Fan Xiao quickly suppressed the evil thoughts... or rather, the greed in his heart.

He couldn't help but recall his favorite superhero from his junior and senior high school days: Batman.

Even when faced with the most vicious criminals, Bateman adhered to the "no-kill principle".

This is not Our Lady of the Batman.

Setting rules proactively is to constrain one's own bottom line.

Because bottom lines are things that are invisible and intangible, if you don't uphold them, they will quickly become blurred and disappear.

The influence is subtle and gradual, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth.

Fan Xiao doesn't know what he'll become if he has no bottom line, and he's not interested in knowing for the time being.

He forced himself to look away from the "binge eating" and instead focused his gaze on the three large bags of bones.

The enormous, swollen bag and the shocking sight of bare bones seemed to be a constant reminder to him to always uphold his principles.
