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

"What?" Reinhardt narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You want to hold me accountable on their behalf?"

"No, I'm just a messenger."

The man in the tuxedo shrugged: "Those people came to me simply to find out how you're going to handle this, and... to urge you to deal with it quickly."

"You know what? They're in a really awkward situation right now. They've mobilized a lot of players and formed a raiding party, but... well, they haven't sent the raiding party out yet."

"According to them, you must lead the first wave of attacks."

“No one can force me to do anything,” Reinhardt said dismissively. “Since you’re the messenger, just pass on my words verbatim.”

"You're taking money and not doing the job."

The man in the tuxedo chuckled and said, "You took a lot of money from them back then, and now that your control has been broken, you're not doing anything about it... Could it be, as the rumors say, that you're really afraid of that young man, Fan?"

“You’re overthinking it,” Reinhardt sneered. “G08 is my territory. So what if he’s a powerful dragon? Once he’s here, even a dragon has to coil up!”

"So, you're planning to make a move?" the man in the tuxedo said. "Then I'll have to watch a good show."

“I’ve said it before, no one can force me to do anything!” Reinhardt said. “Why should I take action? The benefits those guys offered weren’t enough to make me risk my life to deal with an A-level player.”

"Heh, Ryan, there's no point in trying to save face in front of me."

The man in the tuxedo smiled even more: "That young man is not an A-level player. I personally went to the G02 node 011 partition to gather intelligence and found out some terrible news - that guy is actually a B-level player."

"What did you say...!?" Reinhardt's eyes widened in shock.

"A lucky one... If nothing unexpected happens, the other party should be this type of player."

The man in the tuxedo remarked with a sigh, "This young man, Fan, most likely possesses A-grade spiritual energy and multiple A-grade items; otherwise, he couldn't have survived the siege of multiple A-grade players and even turned the tables."

"He once revealed that he had developed the 'limit-breaking' of psionic energy... To break through the limit of A-level psionic energy, one's mental strength must reach the S-level range."

"And he's only a B-level player... Hmm, I guess he possesses A-level psionic energy that leans towards mental attributes, which is why he developed his own 'Breakthrough' at the B-level player stage."

"Tsk tsk... This is really troublesome."

"...Is this information accurate?" Reinhardt asked.

"What, you doubt the intelligence I gathered myself?"

The man in the tuxedo said, "There's no need to worry about accuracy. If we're going to treat it as an enemy, we naturally have to consider the worst-case scenario."

"This is the worst-case scenario! His player level is B, which is ten times more terrifying than if he were A."

“You’re afraid of him and don’t dare to confront him… Heh, that’s understandable. I won’t mock you.”

"You came all this way just to criticize me?" Reinhardt's eyes held a dangerous glint.

"I'm not that bored."

The man in the tuxedo chuckled, "I'm here to deliver a message for others, and... to persuade you to take action."

"No one knows when this young man will leave. The various merged zones will not allow such a restless bomb to wreak havoc on the G08 node."

"This expedition team will likely have quite a few A-level players participating. If you join in and lead the charge, the risk isn't actually that high."

"What? You have a grudge against that bastard too?" Reinhardt asked.

“No, not at all,” the man in the tuxedo chuckled. “I’m just curious about what kind of psionic abilities he possesses. Hmm, I’d love to see your battle.”

"Hmph, they don't dare to lead the charge themselves, isn't it because of fear?"

Reinhardt sneered, "When facing A-level psionic energy, numbers might be an advantage, but when the opponent's 'Breaking Limit' comes crashing down, there will definitely be casualties!"

"You've probably seen that video on the Mammon Forum through other channels as well. That bastard's 'Breakthrough' seems to be undefendable. The only way is to force him to use it first, and then take advantage of the opening to kill him."

"In this battle of offense and defense, who can guarantee they'll survive? Letting me bait that bastard's ultimate attack... that's a clever plan!"

"So, you've decided to play dead?" the man in the tuxedo warned. "Others may not know where your base is, but the various fusion divisions and the forces you're cooperating with know quite a bit. If you don't make any moves, they might be the first to sell you out."

"It's nothing more than losing some assets," Reinhardt said dismissively.

"And your reputation," the man in the tuxedo reminded him again.

"Hmph, since that bastard is wandering around various nodes, he probably won't stay in G08 for long." Reinhardt said coldly, "After he leaves... I'll make those clowns pay for this!"

He said those words through gritted teeth.

During this period, his posts were everywhere on the Mammon Forum.

His ancestors for eighteen generations were all dragged out and insulted.

He was furious.

One of his secret hideouts was destroyed by himself during an extreme outburst of emotion.

Many of his own people within the base were caught in the crossfire and killed by his boss.

After venting his emotions, his anger finally subsided.

To avoid taking any further drastic actions... he has temporarily stopped visiting the Mammon Forum.

Once this matter is over... he'll settle scores later!

Reinhardt looked at the man in the tuxedo and frowned. "Whether or not to take action, and how exactly to do it, I have my own plan. If you're just here to relay messages, then... you can go back."

"It seems the bargaining chips I've offered to convince you aren't enough."

The man in the tuxedo chuckled, "What if I told you... the Speaker also had thoughts of eliminating the other side?"

"..." Reinhardt's eyes narrowed: "The Speaker sent you to deliver a message to me?"

"No, no, no, the Speaker wouldn't do something so petty. If that person had such an idea, he would have summoned us and announced it openly."

The man in the tuxedo pointed to his head: "What I told you was just my own guess."

"...Have you discovered something again?" Reinhardt asked.

"I have indeed learned some things."

The man in the tuxedo laughed and said, "More than a month ago, it seems that a mysterious force from an external node visited Star Memory City."

"Recently, various fusion zones have begun to violate the default rules and secretly sell fantasy materials to Star Memory City."

"I spent some time investigating and found that the transaction between the district and Star Memory City seems to have been authorized by the council."

“I’ve never heard of this before,” Reinhardt said in surprise. “From what you’re saying… it seems like the Speaker secretly instructed this?”

“We are both members of parliament, but neither of us knew about this... It’s most likely the speaker.”

The man in the tuxedo analyzed, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Speaker should have made contact with the mysterious force that visited the G08 node. The fantasy substance recently sent to Star Memory City might be the Speaker's way of showing goodwill. But..."

At this point, he revealed a "this is going to be interesting" expression and said with a smile, "A portion of these fantastical substances were all snatched away by that young man, Fan. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"So...you suspect the Speaker might be plotting murder?"

Reinhardt looked thoughtful.

If that's the case, then he might consider getting rid of that bastard.

With the support of the various integrated zones and the Twilight Council... the risks have undoubtedly been minimized.

He was naturally happy to get rid of this bastard who dared to openly offend him.

Yes—he and the man in the tuxedo were both members of the Twilight Council.

"Yes."

The man in the tuxedo nodded: "The Speaker will formally announce the matter of the mysterious organization at the council meeting sooner or later. At that time, the matter concerning Young Fan will likely be brought up as well. When that time comes, the task of punishing Young Fan may not necessarily fall to you."

"If you could contact the Speaker now and take on this task... hey, I remember you've always wanted to build a formal Mammon branch base at node G08 to better manage Mammon players, right?"

"If you succeed in this matter, the Speaker will definitely help you with this favor."

"A very tempting offer. However..."

Reinhardt's gaze fell on the man in the tuxedo, his eyes deepening: "Sin, aren't you being a little... a bit too enthusiastic about this?"

"You really have no grudge against that bastard?"

"And...don't you know a bit too much? Mysterious organizations, the Speaker's connections...how did you find out all this information?"

"You know, intelligence is my area of ​​expertise. As for how I found out, that's my secret. Do you think I'd tell you?"

The man in the tuxedo laughed and said, "I said from the beginning that I was just curious about that young man's psychic abilities. Just think of me as someone who's here to join in the fun."

“Is that so…” Reinhardt continued, “Besides me, have you shared this information with any other members?”

"Don't worry, you're the first one," the man in the tuxedo laughed.

Reinhardt stared at the other person for a few moments, unable to determine whether the other person was lying or what kind of scheme they were plotting.

Xin has always been the most elusive member of the council, and he always manages to get firsthand information on all sorts of events... a mysterious guy.

I don't know the other party's purpose yet, but... what the other party mentioned is in his favor, so I'll let him make good use of it.

Thinking this through, Reinhardt gave up the idea of ​​investigating further... anyway, the other party wouldn't say anything.

He stopped asking about it and instead asked with curiosity, "By the way, why are you suddenly wearing glasses?"

Not only were the gold-rimmed glasses different, but this guy's demeanor had also become... much more refined compared to when we last met?

Like a calm scholar, his speech was very comfortable... Suddenly! Reinhardt remembered a recent uproar—the theft of the white epaulet's trump card.

That A-grade item, "Truth Surpasses All," was stolen by a mysterious player of unknown identity... Uh, could it be this guy who stole it?

“I can tell what you’re thinking just by looking at your eyes.” The man in the tuxedo shook his head slightly and said, “That prop with the white epaulettes wasn’t something I stole; it has nothing to do with me. I’m just wearing a pair of ordinary glasses.”

"Is that so... Ao Cong is very strong. It's not something an ordinary A-level player can accomplish by trying to steal items right under his nose."

Reinhardt accepted the other party's statement: "Do you think it might have been that bastard who stole it? With his strength, it's quite possible."

"Perhaps. It's just an A-grade item; I'm not very interested in it."

The man in the tuxedo said, "I hope you can seize the opportunity, Ryan. Your fight, hehe, I'll be looking forward to it."

After saying this, he bid farewell to Reinhardt and left the mansion.

Upon arriving at the station, the man in the tuxedo removed his bowler hat and casually tossed it on the ground.

His tuxedo also changed into simple and appropriate casual wear, no longer so conspicuous.

As he watched the train slowly come to a stop at the station, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face: "Fate is a very troublesome power, all-encompassing, and I am also part of it. I cannot hide it, and my actions cannot be too ostentatious. I probably only have one chance to plan... I hope it will be successful."

……

Partition 004.

Starry Memories Corridor Station.

Players from other regions can only reach non-fusion zones by running dungeons.

Because he didn't want to participate in the dungeon, Fan Xiao made a decision—to jump ship.

Yes, before the time-travel train arrived at the station, he jumped off and plunged headfirst into the chaotic space-time on both sides of the tracks.

After using up some of his luck to avoid danger and guide the way, he successfully arrived at the outer area of ​​Star Memory City, reaching this land that felt somewhat familiar.

Chapter 634 The Urgent Truth Surpasses All Else

Fan Xiao admitted that he still harbors some nostalgia for Division 004.

This was, after all, the place where Tina and he first met, so his impression of it was undeniably profound.

He also participated in two E-level dungeons in this place – "Sacrifice Island" and "Crazy Zoo".

The island that Tina blew up with a wave of her hand was "Sacrifice Island".

The island god, whom he couldn't handle back then, was also reduced to ashes in that explosion.

So that's how you can beat a dungeon... His understanding changed from that point on.

Unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to imitate the operation over such a long period of time.

I wonder what Tina's abilities are...

"You've gone a bit off track."

After slightly calming his wandering thoughts, Fan Xiao looked out at the vast, barren plain and compared it with the scene in his memory. He found that the land had not changed much.

Star City is in the distance; from here, you can see the outline of the city.

As the largest safe zone in Division 004, Star Memory City is quite impressive. Its towering city walls resemble an endless mountain range, giving it a magnificent feel like a city of giants, even from a distance.

However, those city walls did not look old; on the contrary, they had a very sci-fi atmosphere... It is highly likely that Star Memory City has purchased a lot of equipment from other highly technologically advanced districts.
