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

The strength of a bear, the speed of a leopard, the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf... all of these have gradually been realized in humankind.

With the continuous accumulation of experience, the technology has gradually matured and is changing rapidly.

The amusement park was very successful during this period.

Although countless innocent people were sacrificed in secret, the results achieved were quite remarkable.

All of this is thanks to Dr. Samael, the park's general manager.

He is an authority in the fields of genetics and experimentation.

They are great explorers who unlock the treasure trove of genes.

Everything was progressing as Dr. Samael had predicted, until... the Evolution Game arrived, players appeared, and supernatural powers swept through the park.

Samael was no longer satisfied with ordinary genetic research and improvement, and set his sights on the extraordinary genes of demi-humans and cannibalistic players.

Extraordinary genes—this is Samael's term for the special alien genes in the bodies of demi-humans and cannibalistic players.

And so, the new hunt began.

The prey now includes demi-humans and cannibalistic players.

The extraordinary genes from the two types of players who were captured were extracted, and Samael used them on humans in batches to begin research on fusion experiments.

Even if a cannibalistic player has the help of an evolution game, they can only have two or three extraordinary genes in their body at most, and they must eat people to regain their sanity.

The result of directly using ordinary people for fusion experiments was... the birth of a large number of monsters with various bizarre abilities.

Whether this fusion experiment was ultimately successful or not is not recorded on paper.

However, Fan Xiao guessed that it must have failed.

This copy is the best proof.

"I see... The Paradise might be the predecessor of Star Memory City. A sinful experiment gave birth to a sinful land."

"The monsters in this instance are all very powerful. The experiments in Paradise probably couldn't have created so many high-level monsters. It's likely that after this event was chosen as the instance, the humans who fell into monster form during the experiments merged with the instance's rules and became even stronger. Many of the monsters even gained immortality."

"This instance space is probably the original prison facility where monsters were held, which evolved under the power of the evolution game. No wonder it's so oppressive."

"This... must be the hidden history."

Fan Xiao gradually pieced together a truth that could explain the current situation.

Once the conjectures and inferences become complete, the copy mechanism reacts.

His player panel popped up automatically, and a message appeared—

You have fulfilled one of the mission requirements and can clear this dungeon at any time.

[Have you cleared the level?]

"..."

That's it? A B-level dungeon like this... The fact that it was cleared so easily made Fan Xiao's feelings somewhat complicated.

It's not that he's being a masochist or has a masochistic streak, or that he only feels satisfied with high-difficulty challenges... He just finds it very strange!

However, he knew that this was a special case and could not be generalized from previous dungeon runs, so he quickly adjusted his mood.

The hidden history has been unearthed.

But new doubts have also emerged.

Chapter 656 Qiqi, why are you playing with my doll and tearing my things?

"This Dr. Samael, without a doubt, refers to Samael, a member of the Twilight Council, who is also the boss of this instance."

"Before the Evolution Game arrived, Samael, the person in charge of the park, revealed his crazy pursuit of superior genes. For this purpose, he did not hesitate to harm countless innocent people to become test subjects and carried out cruel human experiments."

"After the Evolution Game arrived, this thing continued to frantically pursue genes, but the target of its pursuit changed from the genes of powerful humans and animals to the more powerful extraordinary genes in the players."

Why is he so obsessed with genetics?

This seemingly innocuous point caught Fan Xiao's attention.

This is the new point of contention.

It seems fine at first glance, but when considered in the context of real-world circumstances, it becomes quite problematic.

This kind of "genetic obsession" was manageable before the advent of evolutionary games; if humans wanted to directly improve themselves, they could only tap into the power within their genes.

But after the arrival of the evolution game, the strength of an individual has a new standard of measurement - talent and psionic power.

Both the subhuman and cannibalistic players acknowledge that human players have the highest potential.

This is beyond doubt and needs no further questioning.

This is not a subjective conjecture, but is supported by objective evidence—super players are almost all human players. Among the player groups at the top of the evolutionary game hierarchy, there is virtually no room for demi-human or cannibalistic players.

With such clear and straightforward proof, what is there to doubt?

Therefore, like One-Wing, engaging in extensive psionic research is the right path to success, and the route to success has long been provided.

As for the claim that psionic research is too difficult, so we have to settle for second best... this is not a matter of difficulty, but a matter of positioning.

Samael set his research focus on extraordinary genes from the very beginning, which is either insane or for some special reason.

“Samael is not someone who enjoys cruelty and killing. His psychological evaluation report shows that he has a spirit of dedication and sacrifice... so he should not be engaging in supernatural gene research and causing human tragedies out of a perverted hobby.”

"Even if the amusement park really is the predecessor of Star Memory City, the entertainment products that were developed in the satellite city should not have been created under Samael's leadership."

Fan Xiao glanced down at the psychological assessment report in his hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Yes, Samael may be a beast, but he is also a human being... According to the information, because the researchers in the park are involved in cruel human experiments, in order to avoid psychological distortion affecting the progress and results of the experiments, all personnel undergo regular psychological evaluation and testing, and many psychologists are stationed inside the park.

Samael's psychological test reports have always been normal... at least the ones he has now are normal.

Normal people wouldn't create tragedies just because they like it, which rules out the possibility that Samael's research into genes was out of personal passion.

Although the background information of this instance was just as he had guessed, it was a false advertisement aimed at luring a large number of ordinary people to become test subjects.

The person in charge is Samael.

But this guy seems to be doing this for some noble purpose.

Its starting point is not dirty desire.

This raises serious questions about Samael's motives.

It is not meaningless to think about this question.

Although he has now completed the second instance quest, the third quest is still pending.

There are illogical inconsistencies in the correct reasoning for obtaining the dungeon clearance certification. This contradiction must be taken seriously—the clue to completing the third mission might very well be hidden in the reason for Samael's obsession and fanaticism with genes.

If you can find the reason, you'll most likely be able to complete the third mission in one go.

Yes—he's not planning to leave right now.

The second task was completed faster than he had expected; he hadn't used up the time he had allotted for himself and still had plenty left.

Since that's the case... we might as well take this opportunity to complete the third task as well.

If you can get an A rating, you should naturally try your best to get an A rating.

With this in mind, Fan Xiao began a new line of reasoning.

One possible reason is readily available—because the people in the park have undergone various animal genetic modifications, they are immediately locked into becoming cannibalistic players once they become evolved beings.

Since there's no way to choose a player category, you're stuck on one path.

If the amusement park is indeed the predecessor of Star Memory City, then the current state of Star Memory City's "all-cannibalistic camp" can just as well corroborate this reasoning.

However, there are two minor flaws in this reasoning.

The first loophole is that there's absolutely no information on whether the park had fully popularized gene technology before the Evolution Game arrived. Those who were tricked into becoming test subjects either died or became monsters. While experience with gene technology was indeed accumulated and clinically validated, whether it was widely adopted is unknown.

If it weren't widely disseminated, his reasoning would have completely backfired.

The second loophole is that Samael never modified his genes... at least that's what the available information suggests.

In this case, Samael can choose his player class after becoming an Evolver.

As the person in charge of the park, he is definitely in a high position and has access to more information than others. Even if he didn't know the significance of the three player categories at first, he would definitely find out later. Unless he is mentally ill, he would probably choose to become a human player and lock in the highest growth potential in advance.

Even if he were to become a demi-human player on an experimental basis... there are so many experimental subjects, he doesn't need to do it himself.

Just like in the previous genetic experiments, he never modified himself.

Unless he became an Evolver during the early, naive stages of the Evolution Game and faced the dilemma of having to make a choice.

However... this guy was able to endure such a cruel genetic experiment based on normal human moral and psychological assessments, so his willpower must be extraordinary.

The appetite problems experienced by an early-stage evolved being are unlikely to break his will and lead him to eat animals or people raw.

If Paradise was the predecessor of Star Memory City, then in a sense, Samael was the mastermind behind Star Memory City.

The player category behind the scenes is, unsurprisingly, the player category of the lower-level members of the entire faction.

However, Star Memory City is teeming with cannibalistic players, making it a place rife with contradictions.

"There are definitely still points I haven't figured out..."

"Now that the second dungeon quest has been completed, players may unlock some dungeon privileges, including but not limited to unlocking the right to use items, or unlocking other things."

Fan Xiao checked himself and found that the props were still unusable.

So... we can only try to see if there are any other new discoveries.

He looked up and began to observe the pink-themed safe house again.

This is also a closed room, but he already knows how to enter and exit—by making physical contact with the room's owner, that is, with that tall, slender, dark figure, he can follow the other person and move through space together.

Wherever the other party moves, the one who touched it will move there.

The slender black shadow has now disappeared into the room, presumably out collecting paper documents again—it's hard to call collecting paper a normal habit; it's most likely a player perk deliberately designed by the game to balance the difficulty.

Therefore, the slender black shadow posed no threat to the player.

He couldn't possibly wait for the monster to return before trying to move it away by touching it.

Quietly, Fan Xiao gave a look to the two little angels who were playing with cute dolls in the room.

This pink-themed room is filled with many cute dolls, some of which resemble Hello Kitty cat toys—this is because the room's owner, the slender black figure, was a little girl named Leila who loved cat toys in her previous life.

That's what it says on the paper documents.

Seeing the cat doll fragments scattered all over the ground, Fan Xiao couldn't help but feel a little tired.

Fan Qiqi is such a naughty child!

While he was looking at the information, the two little angels not only played with other people's dolls, but also tore a large part of the dolls into pieces.

Fan Xiao felt a pang of guilt for about two seconds.

What a sin, what a sin.

If the dungeon boss Samael were watching this place, he might be mistaken for a pervert.

suddenly!

The light in front of Fan Xiao dimmed.

He looked up and saw that Leila had returned... that slender black figure.

A flat, dark shadow was standing in front of him.

Unlike the previous quiet, when the shadowy figure discovered that half of the cat toys in the room had been destroyed, its body began to twist and shake violently, its swaying black body resembling a burning black flame.

It was obvious that Leila was angry.

A dark figure lunged at Fan Xiao.

Because they were too close, Fan Xiao didn't have time to completely avoid them.

Furthermore, since he currently had no intention of killing the other party, the little angel did not eliminate the threat immediately.

Due to a combination of factors, he was accidentally touched on the arm by a thin, dark shadow.

The previously peaceful contact has now... gone wrong!

The moment it was touched, his arm began to shrink, the flesh disappeared, and it quickly turned into the cute, furry little arm of a cat doll.

The shadowy figure then reached for other parts of his body, but he dodged them.
