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

five minutes later.

Inside the fairytale town, in the castle's conference room.

The members of Whale Fall sat around a makeshift oval conference table.

The president of the Radiant Society was also summoned and was sitting at the very end of the conference table.

After Fan Xiao teleported Xing Tong and Xiao Sheng to Guangyao City and handed them over to the people of Guangyao Society for safekeeping, he immediately organized this meeting.

He quickly recounted what had happened, ending with a description of the current situation in Star Memory City: "Duran and Shengzi are gathering B-level players from the Star Memory City Alliance. Once they've gathered everyone, the siege will begin as soon as I show up. Or... they might come looking for me to attack."

"Samael is dead, the Paradise instance is gone, and it is transforming into a new instance."

“Now that Samael is no longer in contact with the other members of the Twilight Council, we just need to act before the news spreads completely, and no other A-level players will be involved in this war.”

"..." After a few seconds of silence, the leader of the Radiant Guild asked, "Mr. Fan, do you mean... that you not only cleared the Samael instance in an hour, but also killed him as the instance boss?"

After asking the question, the president subconsciously glanced around the conference table and realized that he was the only one who was surprised. The others... these members of Whale Fall, all had calm expressions, as if they were used to it.

There's nothing much to say about this.

Faced with the chairman's surprise, Fan Xiao didn't offer much explanation and went straight to the point: "I've already drawn up the specific battle plan. After I announce it, the operation will begin immediately. The first step..."

His gaze fell on Yu Xue Zhao: "Senior sister, I need to trouble you to destroy all the spacetime tracks near all the stations in the 004 division, temporarily paralyzing the transportation in this division and blocking external support."

With the trouble in Star Memory City, the various fusion zones certainly won't provide open support, but the Twilight Council is stirring things up behind the scenes.

Therefore, we must block the possibility of reinforcements arriving in advance.

Once the spacetime track is damaged, it certainly cannot be repaired in a short time—only the game company can repair the damaged track.

At that time, without train transportation, even intelligence could not be transmitted, let alone support.

There's no problem with delaying for a while.

Afterwards, all they have to do is pin the blame on the Mammons.

Coincidentally, he also has a prominent identity in Mammon, making it quite convenient for him to help shift the blame.

"In this way, even if Dr. Zhuang is really plotting something behind the scenes, my early start of the battle will definitely cause most of his plans to fail."

"At least in terms of combat strength, there's nothing to worry about."

Fan Xiao thought to himself.

Chapter 663 Tsundere Loli

Upon hearing Fan Xiao announce the first phase of the battle plan, Yu Xuezhao nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Disrupting spacetime orbits is not as simple as it seems.

Those tracks may look ordinary, but in reality, there is a space node at regular intervals, and the nodes are equipped with a very comprehensive protection system, which is not easy to deal with.

Moreover, causing damage can easily get you flagged and put on a bounty list.

Fortunately, she was able to handle it and had ways to avoid the marks.

It's perfect to assign this task to her.

After agreeing, Yu Xue asked... or rather suggested, "When should we make our move? Should we wait and lure more people over to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?"

Disrupting the spacetime orbit can indeed temporarily block support from other zones and prevent interference from unknown forces.

At that time, intelligence transmission will be temporarily interrupted and delayed.

By the time people outside find out what's going on, the daylilies will probably be... well, whether they're cold or not, and people outside won't be able to get here via the time train.

The only way to provide support is through instance teleportation.

But not everyone has a copy.

Even if you find a dungeon boss willing to cooperate, accurately locating the 004 partition to activate the teleportation... that's another big problem.

Not every instance has a corresponding coordinate ritual, or a specific person at a specific location to perform the ritual.

All of this requires thorough preparation in advance.

Therefore, destroying the spacetime orbit can at least block 99% of the supporting forces.

However... this kind of thing has two sides.

Support was indeed blocked.

However, at the same time, players who went out of Star Memory City could no longer return to Zone 004 to collect their "lunchbox" (i.e., be eliminated).

Other interest groups associated with Xingyi City didn't have time to get here to face their deaths.

This is so unfair to them.

"Those Star Memory City survivors who left Division 004 only make up a very small fraction. As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Once Star Memory City is gone, they will lose their backing and will be killed by other forces sooner or later."

Fan Xiao replied to Yu Xuezhao, "Besides... Senior Sister, we are an assassin organization. We can find opportunities to assassinate any who slip through the net or other stakeholders later. There's no need to risk increasing the risk by eliminating them all at once."

"If you're interested, senior sister, you can hunt them down for fun later on to pass the time."

"For now, let's play it safe."

He knew that Yu Xuezhao had obsessive-compulsive disorder and couldn't even tolerate the slightest misalignment of buttons on her clothes, let alone the existence of any stray buttons.

If you're going to kill, then kill them all at once... That's probably Yu Xuezhao's thought process.

"Besides this factor, we also need to consider other threats... well, threats."

Fan Xiao continued, "I heard some very interesting information from those one-wing members."

After a pause, he organized his thoughts and began to explain: "Dr. Zhuang did not actually die. The one who died at node G06 was his S-class counterpart."

"He even has an S-class counterpart... This guy doesn't show off on the surface, but he is actually very likely a terrifying player whose strength is close to the super stage. He might have almost collected all three major items."

"However... even someone like Dr. Zhuang cannot dominate within One Wing. The reformist faction he leads is currently engaged in a power struggle with the conservative faction within One Wing."

"And one of the battlegrounds is the G08 node. Or rather... the G08 node is a pool of human resources that they are fighting over."

"Beneath the calm surface of the lake lies a turbulent undercurrent; we must be on guard."

“G08 node?” Yu Xue Zhao asked in surprise, “Junior brother, tell me in detail.”

Fan Xiao nodded and recounted in detail the secrets about the one-wing that he had uncovered through the "Truth Overcomes All" investigation.

After he used the "Flesh Progenitor" to give orders to the mutated flesh and blood on Xing Tong and Xiao Sheng, he did not leave the research institute immediately.

With the mindset of "since I'm already here," he quickly strolled around the research institute wearing his monocle.

When they came to a secluded meeting room, Xiao Zhen reminded him that there was some juicy information there, so he stopped and carefully examined it.

And so... the process of Duran convening a meeting with the Wing members was replayed before his eyes.

He thus figured out the relationship between One Wing, Star Memory City, and the Twilight Council, as well as why three A-level players were sent to guard such an insignificant place as Star Memory City.

When recounting his story, Fan Xiao did not avoid mentioning the president of the Radiant Society.

The chairman is a smart man; if he hears something he shouldn't have, he'll definitely pretend he didn't hear it.

They are allies now, and it would be rather inappropriate for him to take the initiative to manipulate his allies' memories.

"Dr. Zhuang... is he still alive?"

Sitting on the left, Lu Baizhi murmured something with a slightly worried expression.

Yin frowned slightly, his expression turning serious.

Both of them were participants in that campaign. Although Lu Baizhi was disconnected midway through, the difficulty Dr. Zhuang presented was still fresh in her memory.

"Since they are called 'identical entities' rather than 'clones,' it means that the Dr. Zhuangs we encountered are most likely different individual entities with different consciousnesses."

Fan Xiao reminded him, "In other words, the Dr. Zhuang we knew is probably indeed dead."

"Does the G08 node really possess any special characteristics, as those One-Wing members claim?"

The saintess, sitting not far from Fan Xiao, suddenly asked, "Could it be that this place... truly produces people with high potential for spiritual energy?"

"..."

Fan Xiao did not answer this question.

Because he wasn't sure about the specifics. Or rather, he was inclined to believe that the G08 node... might actually have some special characteristics.

After all, this is where an S-class psionic potential user has appeared.

Something far more outrageous than winning the lottery has happened here... It can't really be completely random, can it?

Lottery results are no longer random.

Even if it were truly random, this place is very likely to become special in his later life because of his birth.

"Whether the G08 node is special or not is not the focus of our discussion."

After organizing his thoughts, Fan Xiao said, "What I really want to say is, how exactly did they get the information that the G08 node is special? And who spread this information within One Wing, causing a dispute between the reformists and conservatives?"

"You believe that Dr. Zhuang is the one who started this dispute?"

Lu Xining quickly deduced Fan Xiao's thoughts.

Fan Xiao nodded and said, "This intelligence could have come out anytime sooner or later, but it just so happened to come out shortly after Dr. Zhuang's S-class counterpart died at node G06."

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence. However... to be on the safe side, let's look at this from a conspiracy theory perspective."

"If all of this was orchestrated by Dr. Zhuang, he must have something in mind at node G08. And what he's after..."

—It's very likely related to me and Yin.

Although he didn't say the last sentence aloud, the members of Whale Fall all understood its meaning.

From this perspective, disrupting the orbit becomes necessary.

No matter what tricks Dr. Zhuang has played here, as long as the source of the trouble is cut off and dealt with in stages, the situation will not get out of control.

Fan Xiao continued, "In addition to disrupting the spacetime orbit, the first step of the plan is to organize a group of Mammon members to cause some disturbances in the various fusion zones, attracting and diverting some of their attention, which will make our actions easier."

“Hmm,” Yu Xuezhao nodded, “Let’s do it your way. Afterwards, we can pin the blame for the track disruption on Mammon.”

"..."

Coincidentally, that's what I was thinking too... Fan Xiao glanced at Yu Xue Zhao and thought to himself that his cheap senior sister spoke so casually, she probably had done this kind of thing quite a lot in the past.

Mammon is a chaotic organization. On the surface, there is only one big boss, and there are few other controls and constraints. The members basically mind their own business, so naturally no one will stand up to explain anything.

Moreover... no Mammon would care how much blame Mammon has been taken for.

This organization has no sense of belonging or honor; in a sense, it's more like a large platform where the only thing it cares about is reputation... yes, reputation.

When a Mammon member breaches their contract during a mercenary mission, they will be placed on the Mammon internal bounty list. At that time, the no-kill rule will be lifted, and the breacher will become a walking coin in the eyes of other members.

Even the most despicable Mammon will only try to rob the goods after the mission is completed—that's the reason for this phenomenon.

Under the influence of various factors, Mammon... might just be the first scapegoat for all the beastly players in the entire evolution game.

"Next is the second step of the operation plan."

Fan Xiao then turned his gaze to the president of the Radiant Society: "President, get your people moving. Set up ambushes at various stations in advance, wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, and ambush any Star Memory City survivors who escaped from the battlefield."

"They won't be many in number, and their strength... will most likely be small fry. As for the allocation and distribution of combat power, you can make your own judgment."

"Okay," the president nodded. "I'll make the arrangements."

"The next step is the third step: the final assault."

Fan Xiao said, "The members of One Wing and the B-level player legion gathered in Star Memory City will be handled by Whale Fall. When the time is right, I will issue the order for a general offensive."

"Mr. Fan, are you planning to use dungeons to support the final assault?"

At this moment, the president of the Radiant Guild suddenly asked, "Once the B-level players of Star Memory City unite, they will be a terrifying force. The only way I can think of to deal with them is through dungeons."

"And it's the kind of dungeon that restricts the use of items. Once a player runs out of items, it's no exaggeration to say that their combat power is halved."

"If... if you're not 100% confident in completing the final assault, I can offer some assistance."

"Judging from this... does the president want to get involved?" Fan Xiao asked.

He had previously guessed that this intellectual-looking guild leader likely controlled a dungeon, which was why he was able to overpower other B-rank players and become the leader of the Radiant Guild.

Judging from what the other party said... it should be correct.

"Get involved...that makes it sound like we're outsiders."

The president chuckled softly, “I hope Mr. Fan can understand one thing—our Radiant Society and Star Memory City are sworn enemies, the kind of hatred where we wish we could wipe them all out.”
