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

At this moment, the voice of a fourth person rang out and reached the ears of Xiao Yi and the other two.

The three of them turned their heads at the same time and saw Fan Xiao standing on the other side of the street, looking in their direction.

"Fan Xiao...brother?"

Xiao Yi looked pleasantly surprised.

Fan Xiao walked over and said with a smile, "Xiao Yi, you've become much more lively."

Before Xiao Yi could reply, a fifth voice suddenly rang out: "Master! You've finally arrived! Xiao Zhen missed you so much."

Suddenly, Lu Xining's monocle, which was worn over her right eye, began to vibrate.

Lu Xining felt uncomfortable and had no choice but to take it off and hand it to Fan Xiao.

"Master! Quick! Equip Xiao Zhen with the gear!"

"Ok?"

So urgent? Did you discover something terrible...? Fan Xiao's expression turned serious, and he gave Lu Xining a look.

Lu Xining then deactivated her equipment and said, "All done."

Fan Xiao nodded, put his monocle back on, and wore it over his right eye: "So, what did you find?"

Chapter 635 Essential Qualities to Become an Excellent Player

Upon hearing Fan Xiao's command, the monocle quickly responded: "Master, please rest assured, everything is normal."

"...Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Fan Xiao remained silent.

He thought something terrible had happened.

“Master! Xiao Zhen hasn’t seen you for 11 days…”

The man with the monocle began to express his deep longing with some sentimental words.

After listening for a while, Fan Xiao realized the true meaning behind the creature's words—it was actually complaining!

Yes, it reveals the peace of mind it felt when equipped by him, while also complaining about the fear and anxiety it felt when equipped by Lu Xining.

It dislikes Lu Xining.

If it weren't for Lu Baizhi and Yin accompanying it, it might have expressed its reluctance to participate in the operation from the very beginning.

"It's still most comfortable to stay by my master's side."

Xiao Zhen ended her complaint with this slightly flattering remark.

Across from him, Lu Xining looked at the glasses around Fan Xiao's right eye and felt an urge to punch him.

How could she not sense that the glasses were disdainful of her weakness, subtly condemning her for feeling completely insecure around them?

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

"Hmph." Lu Xining snorted lightly.

The monocle heard, but pretended not to, becoming as still as an ordinary pair of glasses, and remained silent.

"Ahem..." Fan Xiao coughed, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere, and changed the subject, saying, "Let's talk about Xingyi City later. Standing at the door all the time isn't going to work."

"Brother Fan Xiao, please come in."

Xiao Yi realized what was happening and quickly extended an invitation, leading Fan Xiao and the other two into her home.

This house was bought by Du Ruo—there were quite a few people who had been involved in "Sacrifice Island," and Du Ruo was among them. After the dungeon ended, Fan Xiao did not leave immediately, but entrusted Du Ruo to send the residents of the dungeon out to settle in a safe place, while he stayed behind to deal with the island god of "Sacrifice Island"... Even he did not expect that when he used luck to recruit people, he would recruit a super player.

He only had eight days of luck at the time, so it was virtually impossible for him to orchestrate such a "coincidence".

The reason she succeeded was most likely because Tina, guided by the "Wheel of Fate," actively moved closer to him.

In other words, he and Tina were "going to each other"... Well, it's best to just keep that thought to yourself.

Now, almost half a year has passed, and some details in the house have changed a lot compared to before—it has a stronger sense of life.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao felt quite emotional, realizing that the passage of time was reflected in the changes in the details of the scene.

Come to think of it... it's been so long already.

Li Wendong seemed to have heard the noise outside the door and came out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing Fan Xiao, he showed a very surprised expression.

Then, unexpectedly, the expression turned to joy.

He took the initiative to approach Fan Xiao and started exchanging pleasantries.

He was naturally generous with his friendliness and kindness towards the person who saved his and his daughter's lives.

After a warm greeting, Li Wendong returned to the kitchen, prepared more food, and invited Fan Xiao and the other two to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, he said with emotion, "I thought that after we parted last time, I would never see you again. Xiaoyi often keeps saying that she wants to see you, and I can only lie to her and say that you will come again."

"Dad, you...you shouldn't talk nonsense."

Xiao Yi kicked Li Wendong's shin, looking somewhat embarrassed, as if her girlish thoughts had been exposed.

Fan Xiao recalled the farewell scene from his last visit—back then, in order to play with an artistic way of saying goodbye, he said to Xiao Yi while strolling around, "Don't worry, I'm an adult. I'll say goodbye to you properly when I leave," and then... he slipped away halfway through.

His words were tantamount to a formal farewell.

He was quite satisfied with this farewell.

Later, when Tina said goodbye to him in Roman City in Division 001, Tina also used this way of saying goodbye... Damn it! Isn't this plagiarism?

It seems that Tina had been secretly spying on him ever since they first met on the train.

If we get too close, we'll just use the S-level instance's portal access to spy on them.

When you're far away, use the S-rank item "Wheel of Fate" to check his life trajectory.

There's absolutely no privacy left!

However, he could understand this behavior.

If he were to encounter an S-class psychic potential user, he would definitely pay close attention to them and use some special methods to spy on them from time to time.

"Things are different now; it's very easy to see me."

Fan Xiao tossed some black, human-shaped paper slips onto the table: "Take these. How to use them... think back and you'll remember."

"recall……"

Li Wendong tried to recall, and indeed found that he had additional information about the use of the paper doll in his mind.

He was very surprised, but when he thought that it had been almost half a year since they last parted, he realized that with the other party's abilities, he must have become a C-level player by now, and his methods must have become even more powerful... Thinking of this, he suppressed his surprise and turned to his daughter, saying, "Xiao Yi, go to Old Chen's house and buy some tea."

"Ok."

Xiao Yi, without suspecting anything, quickly left the room.

After the woman left, Li Wendong hesitated for a moment, then said to Fan Xiao, "You must have noticed that Xiao Yi is much healthier than before. This is not entirely due to natural conditioning. Recently, she... she has been participating in the player training course organized by the Radiant Society."

"You want me to persuade her to give up becoming a player?" Fan Xiao asked.

Li Wendong sighed, "It's been a very long time since Division 004 got involved in the evolution game. The number of naturally born evolvers is getting smaller and smaller. The possibility of Xiaoyi becoming a player on her own is very small. She can only use evolution agents... Whether she wants to become a player or not is entirely her own choice."

"Her dream is to become a player like you and save people trapped in suffering. Such an idea is too dangerous for a player... I admit, I'm a selfish person and I don't want her to do such a thing at all."

"But I can't persuade her otherwise; perhaps only you can."

"Why do you think I can persuade people?" Fan Xiao asked, puzzled.

Are you really unaware, or are you just pretending to be clueless...? Li Wendong really wanted to ask, but in the end he suppressed his impulse and laughed, "You're a player, so your words are more convincing than mine."

"Your daughter is actually quite clever, and being a gamer isn't as scary as you think."

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "You're just worried about safety. The danger level of E-level and D-level dungeons is actually not that bad. You can even easily get through them with good equipment."

"Moreover, players can retire. By the time Xiaoyi officially becomes a player, the 004 section will probably have already become a merged section."

"At that time, with my connections, it shouldn't be a problem to get a retirement spot for Xiaoyi."

Li Wendong: "?"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he asked in surprise, "Partition 004... becoming a merged partition? Is that... even possible?"

"Why is it impossible? There are only two forces in Division 004, the Radiant Society and Star Memory City. Once Star Memory City is eliminated, it will be a natural progression for it to become a merged division."

Fan Xiao said, "Don't be surprised by what I'm saying. There's going to be big action here soon. The destruction of Xingyi City is inevitable..."

"Wait!" Lu Baizhi suddenly interrupted Fan Xiao: "Um... Fan Xiao, wouldn't saying this count as raising the flag in advance? Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

"With you here, how can this flag be raised?" Fan Xiao asked with a smile.

"I...I'm not that good."

Lu Baizhi felt a little smug.

Fan Xiao continued to say to Li Wendong, "Xingyi City will be eradicated soon—you can treat this as a certainty."

"Xiao Yi's training period is very long. If she fails to become a player on her own during this period, she must wait until she is 18 years old to take the potion, according to the rules."

"By then, Zone 004 will have already become a merged zone, and the safety of players within the zone will be greatly improved."

At this point, he patted Li Wendong on the shoulder and said, "Take it easy. It's a few years from now, there's still plenty of time. Even if something unexpected happens and Xiaoyi becomes a player ahead of time, you can contact me with the slip of paper, and I'll help her out."

"...Anyway, thank you."

Li Wendong expressed his sincere gratitude.

Although it deviated somewhat from his expectations, he was already very grateful that the other party was willing to help, and he would not shamelessly ask for more.

After the meal, Fan Xiao and the other two temporarily bid farewell to Li Wendong and headed towards the main urban area.

On the way, they happened to run into Xiaoyi, who was walking back.

"Brother Fan Xiao, are you... heading to the main city?"

Xiao Yi's words revealed a hint of reluctance, but she sensibly refrained from forcing anyone to stay.

The two sisters from Lu told her yesterday that they would be staying here for a while.

There will be plenty of opportunities to meet.

"I have something to take care of."

Fan Xiao nodded, moved closer to Xiao Yi, and asked, "Do you want to become a player?"

"Um...did Dad tell you?" Xiao Yi asked cautiously as she got up.

"Don't be nervous, we're not here to persuade or stop you," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "I just want to tell you a quality you must have to become a player, especially an excellent one."

"What quality?"

Xiao Yi's curiosity was piqued, and she asked for guidance.

Fan Xiao patted the girl's hair and said, "If you want to become a player, first become an actress."

"When will you be able to disguise yourself as a completely bad person, do some bad things that harm others for your own benefit, and perfectly deceive everyone with your actions..."

"At that time, you will be close to becoming an excellent player."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Yi asked, "If I can perfectly fool everyone... and everyone thinks I'm a bad person, then wouldn't I really become a bad person?"

"No, no, no, how could you think that?"

Fan Xiao earnestly advised, "A pretense is always a pretense, it's fake. As long as you're a good person at heart and your ultimate goal is to do good, even if you rob, kill, or engage in treacherous schemes... I can guarantee that you'll still be the same good girl you were before."

"what……?"

Xiao Yi stood there, stunned.

It seems that because of her unconditional trust in Fan Xiao's words, her values ​​are quietly undergoing a reshaping.

Fan Xiao patted the girl on the shoulder again and said, "Remember this: a sage judges by his heart, not by his deeds. He can become a Buddha on the spot by laying down his butcher's knife. This is the principle."

……

"Of all evils, lust is the worst. Judge by actions, not intentions; if you judge by intentions, there are no saints... Fan Xiao, didn't you just say the opposite?"

On the way back to the main urban area, Lu Baizhi hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but ask the question.
