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

The welcoming party has withdrawn.

In the hall, Yu Xuezhao and the others had arrived early and were sitting around the conference table waiting.

Upon seeing Fan Xiao and the other two, the junior sister in the waiting line frowned first.

Why are those two thieving cats sneaking up on Fan Xiao again when she's not looking?

And... how did they know Fan Xiao had arrived in Guangyao City?

Were we notified in advance?

Discrimination?

In an instant, her jealousy was ignited.

The next second, Yin's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Fan Xiao.

She then questioned, "When did you arrive? How come they're with you?"

After quickly asking the question, feeling a bit sour, she realized what she had done and hurriedly added, "You should have notified all of us in advance, instead of just the two of them. We're out here on official business, and we need to keep in touch in real time."

“Mind your manners,” Lu Xining suddenly said to Yin, “If you’re discussing serious matters… is this how you would treat the leader of an organization?”

“…” Yin said, “This organization isn’t a one-man show. We are like-minded comrades with equal status.” Yin said unconvinced.

“Oh,” Lu Xining explained in a nonchalant tone, “I was informed of Xiao’s arrival by the monocle, not by a separate notification.”

After explaining, she began her attack: "You misunderstood right from the start, which clearly shows you don't trust Xiao and doubt his character. You should reflect on yourself."

silver:"……"

This guy is so annoying!

Should we secretly draw a turtle on her face?

On the other side, the saintess, sitting at the far end of the conference table, saw this scene and was somewhat eager to join the conversation and add fuel to the fire.

Yu Xuezhao, who was next to her, took a sip of tea and began to watch the show.

"The president of the Radiant Society is almost here. Let's hurry up and talk about the situation in Star Memory City."

Seeing this, Fan Xiao had no choice but to step forward and stop the chaos from escalating under the pretext of discussing serious business.

They're such a worry!

Didn't Lu Xining position herself as his lover? Why is she starting to actively create a love triangle... to help her sister gain attention?

He quickly bypassed the group of people and went to sit down at the conference table.

Seeing this, Yin and the others put aside their confrontation and also moved closer to the conference table.

The Whale Fall members gathered in Zone 004... except for Song Qingshan, who was doing logistics in the dungeon.

Fan Xiao didn't bully his younger brother too much; he opened the dungeon portal and transferred him out.

Then he said, "On my way to retrieve the fantasy material, I unexpectedly obtained some information related to Star Memory City, which involves a secret organization—the Twilight Council. Are you familiar with it? The fantasy material sent to Star Memory City from various fusion zones this time was secretly arranged by this organization. The Twilight Council is most likely the mysterious organization standing behind Star Memory City, and Star Memory City may even have been supported by this organization."

"Twilight Council... I've never heard of that name. But we did investigate through the monocle and found that Star Memory City had dealings with a mysterious organization."

The person who spoke and answered was Li Xian.

He continued, "It's not the kind of superficial transaction."

“Star Memory City has always been involved with many forces in various integrated zones. These involvements involve recruitment, employment, human trafficking, entertainment provision, etc. I am not referring to these kinds of exchanges, but to a deeper level of relationship.”

"Perhaps the mysterious organization we've been investigating is the one you're talking about?"

"Hmm... most likely."

Fan Xiao nodded: "I will keep a close eye on this organization going forward. As for now... what intelligence have you gathered? Tell me about it."

"Let me explain. Let's go in order, starting with Star Memory City, then One Wing."

Li Xian continued, "Star Memory City is very large, roughly one-third the size of Roman City. Its population... including players, official citizens, and those being farmed, is close to 100 million, which can barely be considered a super city."

“Besides the main city, Star Memory City is surrounded by many breeding satellite cities. Each satellite city is conducting various human experiments. Some of them have been built into large-scale experimental bases... You've seen Resident Evil, right? It's just like the city bases built by the Umbrella Corporation.”

"Other satellite cities were developed into commodity bases, such as the Demi-human Kingdom, the Human Empire, and the Chosen Land... Many of the goods produced in these places have erotic attributes, such as Demi-human Queens, Imperial Princesses, Witches and Nuns, Goddesses and Goddesses... There are even goddesses. Goddesses are not real gods, but rather life forms with special genetic abilities. They are unaware that they are being manipulated as commodities, and many of the male customers who buy them enjoy the pleasure of ravaging these goddesses..."

"Wait, don't go into so much detail about that. Get to the point."

Fan Xiao suddenly interrupted Li Xian.

Damn it... Do you even know how to read the room?

The current membership structure of the Whale Fall organization is very much in line with the principle of female dominance over male dominance!

The people sitting around the conference table were mostly women... Didn't you notice that their eyes had become sharp?

And...why are they all secretly watching him?

Damn it, this fire can also reach him?

Who did they take him for?

Speaking of which... Queen of Demi-humans, Imperial Princess, Witches/Nuns, Goddesses... He really wanted to see what they were like.

Wow, Xingyi City is really going for this elaborate scheme!

"Dirty."

Yin snorted coldly.

"You can hum all you want, but what's the meaning of humming at me?" Fan Xiao suppressed the urge to slam his junior sister on the table and beat her up, and said to Li Xian, "Continue, let's focus on introducing the high-level players of Xingyi City."

"That's the basic situation of the satellite city. Most of the large, powerful forces in the various districts of G08 have business dealings with Star Memory City."

Li Xian continued, "Among them, the forces of the various fusion zones are particularly entangled. Star Memory City occasionally opens its satellite city breeding parks to some 'VIPs,' and those 'nations in the palm of your hand' become entertainment venues for unleashing their madness. As for the high-level players..."

At this point, his tone became more serious: "The overall strength of the players in Star Memory City is much stronger than I anticipated..."

Chapter 637 Xingyi City is full of villains, right?

Through Li Xian's narration, Fan Xiao gradually gained a deeper understanding of the entirety of Xingyi City.

In Star Memory City… or rather, in the Star Memory City Grand Alliance, there are a total of 114 B-level players… originally there were 121, but after leaving the “City of True Love” instance, Princess Melissa killed two, and Fan Xiao, Wu Tongyue, and others killed a total of 5 during the robbery of fantasy materials, leaving only 114. The number of C-level players exceeds three digits.

Of these 114 B-level players, 14 have gone to other zones to do their own thing, and 15 are missing... either they went to run dungeons or went to other nodes for sightseeing.

There are 85 B-level players from the Star Memory City Alliance who reside in the 004 division.

Of these 85 people, 50 settled directly within Star Memory City, while the other 25 settled in several other, much smaller safe zones. The major safe zones were very close to each other and all had teleportation anchor points created by spatial artifacts, making mutual support very convenient... In terms of combat strength, they were quite abundant.

If we want to eliminate Star Memory City, we must face the threat of these 85 B-level players.

Fan Xiao was slightly surprised after hearing this.

The number of B-level players in Star Memory City... seems a bit too many?

To draw a parallel... Junior Sister's hometown is also a region shrouded in chaotic order, similar to Region 004. There are ten bases there, each with about five B-level players, totaling approximately 50 B-level players—that's the number for the entire region.

In Division 004 alone, the Star Memory City Alliance has 114 B-rank players, plus the Radiant Society... The total number of B-rank players is close to two hundred, which is four times that of Junior Sister's hometown.

unusual.

Although Division 004 was involved in the Evolution Game earlier than Junior Sister's hometown, the number of advanced players did not have a so-called "cumulative effect"... or rather, it did exist, but was very slight.

Because B-level players must participate in a dungeon once every 3 years, and survival depends on both ability and luck.

Often, the longer time goes by, the fewer B-level players there are in a given area.

Only by integrating the divisions and controlling many special positions granted by game companies... that is, the so-called "player retirement quotas," can a cumulative effect occur.

"Besides the locals, are there many outsiders in Xingyi City?"

Fan Xiao asked a question about this doubt.

Li Xian nodded and said, "More than half of them are outsiders! Among these outsiders, the majority are cannibalistic players from other divisions, but there are also some powerful human players and demi-human players who have ventured to join Star Memory City."

"As for the reasons for joining... for powerful players who dislike moral constraints, Star Memory City can be described as a paradise of pleasure, full of all kinds of excitement."

"That city is practically a den of thugs from the G08 node."

"They're all villains?" Fan Xiao confirmed. "Not a single one is innocent?"

"No."

Li Xian stated with certainty, "When the Star Memory City Alliance was first established, it carried out a 'purification operation,' killing and eating all the human and demi-human players inside the safe zone."

"From then on, any evolved beings who naturally awakened in Star Memory City, whether out of personal preference or due to survival pressure, would choose to become cannibalistic players. It was a veritable den of cannibals."

"Later, among the players from other regions who joined the Star Memory City Alliance, only those human or demi-human players with considerable strength, status, and position, who possessed places that made the cannibalistic players wary, dared to risk settling down in that demonic cave."

"Players on the side of order would never go to such a place. What are the purposes of those who would risk going there... You should know without me having to explain."

"Hmm, that saves us the trouble of screening." Fan Xiao nodded.

Li Xian: "..."

What do you mean?

what you up to?

He couldn't help but remind them, "Star Memory City is a place with 'diode' properties. The players are all villains, while the vast majority of ordinary people are pitiful people being farmed. A rash attack might affect them and cause heavy casualties."

"Of course, not all ordinary people deserve to be saved. There are many relatives of cannibal players among them, who are all beneficiaries of the system."

"They live in places where they can freely indulge their desires... Don't expect any good people to be among these kinds of people."

"Ordinary people are not our responsibility; leave that to the Guangyao Society."

Fan Xiao said, "The significance of our cooperation with Guangyao Society lies in finding someone to clean up the mess."

Otherwise, how could they possibly help with combat capabilities? He didn't say this explicitly, but the people present weren't stupid; they could understand the underlying meaning.

Some things shouldn't be said too explicitly... it's too insulting.

"85 B-level players..."

The saintess sighed, "Before I came to investigate, I had no idea that Star Memory City's forces were so formidable... What's your plan? You're not going to just charge in headfirst, are you?"

"With 85 B-level players joining forces and throwing hundreds of B-level items at them, even an A-level player with defensive A-level items would probably die on the spot."

"I think we need to make some serious plans."

A-level players certainly won't just stand there and let themselves be attacked. Combat isn't a turn-based system where you hit me and then I hit you back. It involves many factors.

But 85 B-rank characters and hundreds of B-rank items... a quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, and this number is enough to suffocate people.

Even a top-tier A-level player like Yu Xuezhao could still have a mishap if she went far away from home and didn't have any dungeon assistance... right?

While A-grade items are powerful, any item other than S-grade has a clear upper limit to its effectiveness.

“Don’t forget we’re essentially an assassin organization,” Fan Xiao reminded him. “What kind of assassin goes head-to-head with an assembled army?”

Isn't your teacher one? Do you think that's how you got the title of "nation destroyer"...? The Holy Maiden didn't dare reveal her true thoughts and asked directly, "So what are you planning to do?"

“Don’t rush. Before we make a formal move, Sakura and I will test the waters first,” Fan Xiao replied. “Once we have the results of the test, I will formulate a specific battle plan. And…”

He took out a white-glowing titled sphere from his storage space: "With this, the enemy's numerical advantage in items will vanish in front of us. Especially the cannibalistic players, without items, they are much easier to deal with than human players."

"..."

The saintess glanced at the titled sphere and felt slightly relieved.

I completely forgot about this!

Fan Xiao put the sealing ball away again, looked at Li Xian, and continued, "We don't need to consider C-level players. Our main threat is the large number of B-level players, and... have you investigated any threats above B-level?"

"Yes. Although Xingyi City is very well hidden, it cannot hide the truth from 'the truth surpasses everything'."

Li Xian nodded and said, "The information about Xingyi City that has been circulating outside contains serious misinformation and omissions."

"There is an A-level player hiding in Star Memory City! And he is an A-level player who controls a B-level dungeon."

"The other party is a member of that mysterious organization, the one whose name we haven't been able to find out."

"The Twilight Council?" Van Chau asked.

"It's very likely, but it's not certain yet."

Li Xian replied, "There is very little information about that A-level player's past. We only know that he came from another region, and his name... some people call him Samael."

"As for his instance status... Samael's instance is an independent space type instance, not connected to the 004 partition. Although we have discovered the means to connect to that instance... well, just like the paper doll you gave us, Samael's instance also has its own ritual. However, we dare not act rashly and impersonate Star Memory City players to enter it."

"Without being inside the instance, 'Truth Overcomes All' can't uncover any more information."
