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

"It's hard to say for sure right now. We'll know once we get our hands on it and verify it." Fan Xiao didn't dwell on the issue too much: "If it doesn't provide any protection, then we should just focus on clearing this dungeon as quickly as possible."

"What about the second dungeon quest?" Sakura asked, "How do we get Mitchell Sinderson's Ring of Love?"

“Mitchell Sinderson is actually the easiest one to deal with, because she is outside the tower, not inside, and we can find her without climbing the tower.”

Fan Xiao said, "Once we've dealt with her outside, her floor won't be difficult to conquer. As for how to deal with her... let's talk about that after we complete the first mission. Completing the first mission is the foundation for tackling the second mission. And..."

After a pause, he guessed, "Although there are two Mitchell Sindersons, in reality... we can probably only handle one of them, which is the female version. I will explain why later."

"The remaining male version... will probably only be dealt with after your favorite saintess comes in and restores her appearance."

"Saint..."

After a moment's thought, Sakura said, "You mean, to win over the female version of Mitchell Sinderson, you don't need to rely on looks, but can use some clever tricks?"

“Yes,” Fan Xiao nodded, “the first and second tasks were not too troublesome, the most troublesome was the third task.”

"The Ring of Love can counteract the power of banishment, and we can take care of the first floor."

Sakura said thoughtfully, "Mitchell Sindson can handle this by using a clever method, thus eliminating the danger of the third colored floor."

"Only the second dark floor remains... You said it's troublesome, is there perhaps no solution for this floor?"

"I can't be sure right now whether it's true or not." Fan Xiao shook his head. "We need to contact Professor Chen in the library again. The solution to the second floor will most likely have to be found through him."

The specific strategies for completing the three tasks are now completely clear.

Sakura's anxiety about her distorted perception lessened considerably.

As expected, methods like future simulations require formidable strength to be effective.

If she were to lead the simulation process, given her abilities... she wouldn't be able to get past the enforcement team, and subsequent intelligence gathering would become meaningless; she could only verify some minor details.

“Let’s go,” Van Shaw said. “Let’s go check on Melissa first. It’s been a night; she should have made some progress on her work.”

"Shouldn't we go to Professor Chen first... Professor Chen who represents pure white?" Sakura asked.

"We have firsthand intelligence, so we don't have to worry about others getting ahead of us in terms of mission progress."

Fan Xiao said nonchalantly, "The third task is related to Professor Chen Chunbai. The prerequisite for taking on the third task is to complete the first and second tasks."

"Let's go to Melissa first. If she has unlocked her beauty and obtained the Ring of Love, we'll try to steal it from her."

"If we succeed, we can leech off other players' lives, which will greatly shorten the time to complete the game."

cherry:"……"

Ah this...

Okay, she admits that the real Fan Xiao and the imitation Fan do have quite a few similarities.

Although Fan Xiao has emotions and morals, these are not the only aspects that constitute a person's character; pure rationality is also mixed in.

The Fan Xiao in the simulated world is, in a way, another side of the real Fan Xiao... Sakura reminded herself.

This is something you shouldn't think about too much!

Otherwise, you're just scaring yourself.

"What's your expression?"

Seeing Ying's silence, Fan Xiao said somewhat speechlessly, "It's just stealing things, not killing people."

"That princess is a little arrogant, and this kind of mentality is not advisable for players, so... we are actually going to educate her, to teach her what it means to be outdone by others and to be in a better position... well, we are doing this for her own good."

"At worst, I can just leak some information to her afterward and make up for it."

"..." Sakura reminded her, "According to what you just said, there is only one spot to complete the second dungeon mission. Revealing information to her won't do any good."

"What do you think the evaluation mechanism for dungeon raids will take into account?" Fan Xiao asked. "For example... is the progress of unlocking the dungeon's truth included in the evaluation?"

“…I guess so.” Sakura nodded.

"and."

Fan Xiao continued, "I only said that there was only one spot available for completing the second task, but I didn't say that the same was true for the third task."

"Send Professor Chen, who is pure white, back to the fourth floor of that tower. One person can do it, or a group of people can do it."

"As long as there is participation, it will be counted in the evaluation to some extent."

"..."

Was he trying to convince me, or was he trying to convince himself...? Sakura really wanted to ask that question, but she held back in the end.

The two stopped talking.

Fan Xiao manipulated the "blood armor" on his shoulder to transform into a giant flying bird and jumped onto its back.

Sakura followed and jumped up.

The bird carried the two of them, quickly flying over the western suburbs and into the main urban area of ​​the City of True Love, where it landed outside the school.

Many passersby turned their gazes in this direction, but after their eyes fell upon Fan Xiao and Ying's good looks... they seemed to feel unlucky and quickly looked away.

To be honest... this behavior is very damaging to a person's self-esteem.

Fan Xiao led Ying into the campus and soon found Melissa at the edge of the playground.

Besides Élische and Malfoy, Melissa was also accompanied by Ai Yuan and Tai An.

Upon seeing Melissa and the others again, a complex emotion surfaced in Sakura's eyes... a complex emotion containing a trace of pity.

On the other side, Melissa, due to her psionic abilities, noticed a slight emotion in Sakura's eyes, which immediately puzzled her.

What's going on... why do I feel like someone is pitying me?

Is it her imagination?

“Why did you disappear for one night?” Melissa stepped forward and asked, “Could it be… that you went to investigate who possesses the Ring of Love?”

"I suppose so," Fan Xiao nodded and smiled, "Judging from your beaming expressions... the verification was successful?"

"Yeah! Success!"

Ai Yuan stepped forward and excitedly shared, "I used Miss Melissa's props to make some temporary modifications to my understanding of myself... I made the modifications according to the theoretical framework in the book 'Selection of Genes' that Miss Melissa gave me."

"Then, my appearance score actually improved... or rather, recovered, from 3 back to 7!"

"As for whether he has fully recovered, I'm not entirely sure... I think he probably hasn't."

“You should be considered fully recovered,” Tai’an said at this moment. “If we’re going to give you a score out of ten, your looks would only get a 7 at most.”

Ai Yuan: "..."

Damn it... at least a simp would flatter, but this guy is even worse than a simp!

"And what about you?" Fan Xiao asked Melissa and the others.

"Ours is still 4... Oh right, our appearance ratings have all automatically increased by one digit, but I haven't figured out why yet." Melissa asked, "How are things on your end?"

"Same here, it's improved too." Fan Xiao took out a gold coin and asked, "What's this?"

"Currency?" Melissa said. "I've never seen this style before. Is it from your district?"

“This is gold,” Fan Xiao said.

"..." Melissa frowned and said, "What did you say?"

The others also looked surprised.

"gold?"

"It looks like an ordinary coin!"

"Uh... what's going on?"

A cacophony of questions arose.

Fan Xiao bluntly stated, "Don't doubt my conclusions; first, doubt your own understanding."

"You mean...our perception has been distorted by this copy?" Melissa's expression was somewhat grim. "Could it be related to time? Each passing night modifies a perception?"

"Whether only one aspect was modified is something we can't verify ourselves without any reference points. In short, we must hurry up and complete the task, preferably clearing this dungeon today! Otherwise... who knows how long we can hold out?"

Fan Xiao's gaze fell on Ai Yuan: "So... have you obtained the Ring of Love yet?"

Chapter 604 Fan Xiaozhen is a coward

Hearing Fan Xiao's question, Ai Yuan didn't suspect anything and replied directly, "I tried it this morning, secretly flirting with more than a dozen very ugly students..."

At this point, she revealed a slightly disdainful expression and said, "Men really aren't any good..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized that Fan Xiao, who had asked her the question, was also a man, and had even publicly stated that he liked men… Driven by her desire to curry favor, she swallowed her words and changed her tune: “Sure enough, men and women are the same; they all like good-looking people. Before, the students here ignored me, but now, with just a few glances, I can make quite a few people unable to move. Tch… How boring!”

“I’m asking about the result,” Fan Xiao said, sounding a little impatient. “Who wants to hear your thought process?”

"...The result is that I succeeded." Ai Yuan said, "Those dozen or so ugly students all confessed to me this morning, and I said yes to them all. One of them happened to have the Ring of Love, and it was transferred to my hands on the spot. Afterwards, I dumped them all. Time is limited, and I haven't found a new target yet, so I only got one ring."

"...That's possible?" Sakura asked in surprise, "You just met the students here this morning, and they immediately confessed their feelings to you?"

This is... way too casual, isn't it?

Her tone was tinged with surprise, and she was almost at a loss for words.

At this moment, Melissa rubbed her forehead and said, "This guy is so tasteless! He's wearing revealing clothes and trying to seduce the students, even resorting to physical advances... How could a group of hot-blooded teenagers resist such temptation?"

"A shameless person is invincible..." She didn't say that aloud.

"Judging from your tone, you seem to know quite a lot?" Fan Xiao asked Melissa.

"..." Melissa: "Anyway, we are observing Ai Yuan, who actively changed her cognition, to see if there are any aftereffects. We originally planned to observe her for a day, but now... with the potential danger of a copy of cognitive distortion, we can't afford to waste time like that."

This is also why they did not immediately change their perception.

They were waiting for the potential landmines on Ai Yuan's body to explode.

Now that Fan Xiao is telling them that players are very likely to have their perceptions distorted by the dungeon rules every night... who would dare to wait slowly?

"You did waste a lot of time, otherwise you wouldn't have only collected one ring... What a pity."

After Fan Xiao finished speaking, he shifted his gaze from Melissa to Ai Yuan and said, "Does the Ring of Love have a physical form? If so, may I borrow it to take a look."

“Yes,” Ai Yuan said, “You wait…”

She paused here, glancing at Fan Xiao with suspicion.

Is it really just for looking...? She wanted to ask that, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Some things can't be said outright, because it's easy to fall out on the spot.

She's still hoping to latch onto someone powerful.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ai Yuan finally took the heart-shaped ring out of her storage space and handed it to Fan Xiao.

Anyway, with her current looks, getting a love ring won't be difficult, so even if she loses one... it's no big deal.

After Fan Xiao took the ring, he looked at it in his hand and found that it was not much different from a normal diamond ring.

He then asked, "Is there any exclusive ownership or binding attribute? For example, does this ring belong only to you?"

"...Um, why are you asking this?" Ai Yuan asked back.

"Don't be nervous, they won't take your things." Fan Xiao smiled and said, "I have a plan related to the Ring of Love, and I need to gather some relevant information first."

With that, he tossed the ring back.

He did indeed intend to rob the school before coming there.

But now... after a whole night, these people have only collected one ring. With that, what's the point of him robbing anymore?

He was somewhat disappointed with the efficiency of Melissa and the others.

too low!

What a bunch of useless trash.

So he decided to change his plan, motivate these people to acquire the rings, and then trick them into handing over the rings and going with him to the central area to climb the tower.

On the other side, Ai Yuan accepted the ring with a relieved expression and subconsciously asked, "What plan?"

"Answer my question first: does the ring have any binding attributes?" Fan Xiao asked again.

Ai Yuan shook her head and said, "It's just an ordinary ring. Whoever holds it owns it. It doesn't have any binding attributes... Anyway, I haven't received any related notifications."

"Is that so... My plan is mainly focused on saving customs clearance time."
