"Um... I think the stealth ability that you mentioned is pretty good."
Lu Baizhi then suggested, "Why don't we choose stealth?"
After the four finished speaking, they all turned their gazes to Fan Xiao, waiting for him to make a choice.
Fan Xiao: "..."
Ah this...
Despite all his calculations, he never expected that a battlefield of carnage would be waiting for him here.
He had actually had an idea about the new talent for a while—either stealth or defensive abilities.
Stealth involves concealing one's form and movement, allowing one to better utilize his offensive advantages.
With the Angel of Death around, there's no need for new attack capabilities.
The ranged attack is powered by the "Flesh and Blood Ancestor" Breaking Limit Heavenly Deformed Sword.
If we're talking about what he's lacking right now... without considering the supplements provided by items, and only taking into account the combination of psionic energy and talent, what he lacks most is conceptual defensive capabilities.
The second missing element is mobility – mobility that would allow the Angel of Death to better utilize its effects.
Movement can be categorized under the stealth framework of the Assassin class.
As for conceptual defense... this doesn't quite fit the assassin class, so the chances of it being developed are probably much lower than with stealth.
Moreover, any ability involving concepts is of a high level, with the most powerful being A-level... Considering this, the chances of developing a conceptual defense ability are even smaller.
Taking all factors into account, stealth is undoubtedly the preferred method.
This perfectly aligns with Lu Baizhi's suggestion.
Fan Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly... No wonder she's a girl favored by Lady Luck!
She actually guessed it right!
However... he could not directly and publicly choose to adopt Lu Baizhi's opinion.
The current situation is a life-or-death question; whose answer is correct is completely irrelevant!
Only an idiot would choose that directly.
Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "You know too little about me. Don't meddle in such a private matter as talent selection. Besides..."
He sighed softly, "Whether Gardenia's luck can bring out the talent I want is unknown. I think it's best not to have too high hopes for now."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door of the conference room.
When he passed by Lu Baizhi, he gestured with his eyes for the girl to follow.
Lu Baizhi immediately stood up.
Seeing this, the other three also stood up.
However, just as they were about to follow, Fan Xiao's rather speechless voice came over: "Talent development can be done in a few minutes, so don't bother joining in the fun."
Upon hearing this, the three had no choice but to abandon their idea of following them to investigate.
The saintess just wanted to join in the fun.
The junior sister wanted to keep an eye on the two of them to see if they would do anything bad behind her back in the dungeon... After hearing that it would only take a few minutes, she felt relieved.
Lu Xining... She was simply bored and thought that since she had nothing to do, she might as well stand up for her sister and prevent her trashy sister from being bullied by the cunning saintess.
On the other side, after leaving the conference room, Fan Xiao immediately activated his illusion shield to completely separate himself and Lu Baizhi from the conference room, preventing their conversation from being overheard.
After taking the necessary precautions, he said, "Gardenia, let's do as you suggest. Pray for my stealth ability."
"..."
Lu Baizhi's eyes looked a little strange.
Fan Xiao wasn't afraid of embarrassment. What was there to be embarrassed about in front of his girlfriend?
He reminded her, "Let's begin."
"Oh... then I'll pray for blessings?"
Lu Baizhi subconsciously clasped her hands together, making a prayer gesture.
This action has no meaning; it's just a subconscious behavior.
Fan Xiao seized the opportunity and used some of his luck to make a wish—only a small portion of his luck was used, the rest of which he would use to make wishes that took advantage of the time difference in the flow of time.
It's not that he doesn't want to accumulate more luck and acquire better abilities later.
The main issue is the time crunch – if he awakens his talent now, he might be able to supplement it with psionic energy when the Whalefall members awaken their psionic abilities using the resources of One Wing.
You only get one chance, so you have to seize it.
Soon after making his wish, Fan Xiao silently used his talent development opportunity.
With the double boost of good fortune, the power to interfere with cause and effect begins to operate, permeating into the future.
Fan Xiao heard the long-awaited notification tone.
[Talent under development...]
Congratulations on obtaining the D-tier talent: Void Wind.
……
After saying goodbye to Lu Baizhi and the others, Fan Xiao used the rest of his luck to make a new wish—to go to a place with the greatest difference in time flow rate between the G08 node 004 partition and the other party.
Yu Xue Zhao has now disrupted the spacetime orbit, but this will not affect his instance teleportation; his travel here and there is unrestricted.
Soon, the dungeon door opened, connecting to a location.
A portion of the external scene was projected and displayed.
Fan Xiao looked at it carefully for a few moments but found he had no recollection of it—he couldn't determine which node or partition it was.
It's even impossible to determine whether it's a partition or not.
The game is vast. In addition to the partitioned worlds, there are countless unknown spacetimes in the infinite chaotic spacetimes that traverse the spacetime orbits.
These unknown spacetimes are far more numerous than the number of partitions.
This is also why he usually can't accurately open the dungeon door - the number of node partitions is limited, and even if you come randomly, you can spend some time to randomly get to the partition you want to go to... but in reality, it's not like that.
The countless unknown spaces and times make the probability of being randomly assigned to a corresponding partition an astronomical number.
"I hope Tina can take responsibility this time and not try to disgust me with 'gay guy' stuff afterwards."
Fan Xiao glanced at the prop he was wearing on his wrist.
[Rank E Item - Decapitated Mercury Serpent]
As one of the top players, "Destroy the Nation" is a mentor who favors talent. Traveling through different time and space nodes, she occasionally bestows gifts of fate upon those she values.
There is no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you.
[Note 1: As a derivative of the S-rank item Wheel of Fate, equipping this item will connect you to the Wheel of Fate, temporarily granting you a swapped fate—in this swapped fate, your misfortune and the fortune of national destruction will be reversed.]
[Note 2: This item is a secondary item and does not occupy an item slot]
[Note 3: The final interpretation of this item belongs to the Destroyed Kingdom]
Yes, he's about to use the item Tina gave him as a reward again.
The time was tight for this incident, so he planned to transfer the bad luck he had endured during the luck-accumulation period to Tina to prevent himself from being dragged into dangerous dungeons because of bad luck. Even he wouldn't dare to keep the luck-accumulation active in high-risk dungeons and let the bad luck continue to take effect... This was no joke.
If this goes on and on, he will waste more time, which may affect subsequent battle plans and lead to a complete collapse.
Here, Tina has to bear some of his bad luck.
"The headless mercury serpent"—this item cannot be activated indefinitely; there is a human limitation—twice, each time for a maximum of one and a half months—these are Tina's exact words.
He had already used it once in the last Dr. Zhuang incident, and he has one more chance to use it left.
"Speaking of which... how come all the props Tina gave me have been used for official business? Last time and this time, they weren't used for my own purposes... It's a bit of a waste."
Fan Xiao thought to himself.
This is not possible!
After this incident is over, he'll have to play the victim and extort money from Tina.
Moreover... this headless snake prop itself does not have the usage restrictions of "twice" or "one and a half months".
It was Tina herself who imposed the restrictions, since she ultimately has the right to interpret them.
and so……
"Now I've proven that Tina has a hidden tsundere side and isn't as ruthless as she seems. So... in an emergency, could we act first and ask questions later?"
Fan Xiao had a despicable thought that he was going to push his luck.
Hmm... it could be a backup plan in an emergency.
However, there's a prerequisite...find an opportunity to test Tina's temper and find her bottom line.
Otherwise, something bad could easily happen.
"time to go."
Fan Xiao gathered his scattered thoughts, looked at the unknown space-time connected by the dungeon door, and stepped across.
Chapter 665 Fan Xiao is not home today
After Fan Xiao left.
Lu Baizhi gazed at the spot where her boyfriend had disappeared and sighed softly to herself.
"Still haven't found an opportunity... My luck's been a bit off."
It's such a pity that even though Fan Xiao kept her alone, she didn't get a chance to do...do things that boyfriends and girlfriends do!
Of course, what she didn't know was that her luck had actually been working its magic all along—effectively working in the direction of catching the philanderer.
This resulted in her demands not being met.
The owner is too incompetent, even Lucky-chan can't carry the team! Being able to draw with other opponents is already quite impressive.
As for godlike performances... I dare not even think about it.
So, whose suggestion did Darling ultimately choose?
Before she knew it, the Holy Maiden came to Lu Baizhi's side and asked a question.
Yin and Lu Xining also approached, and the three of them surrounded Lu Baizhi, making the latter vaguely feel considerable pressure.
Yes, none of the three of them believed the nonsense Fan Xiao had told them before.
All this talk about not knowing enough about him, not interfering in his privacy... in the end, isn't it just deserting the battlefield?
Women are quite perceptive when it comes to these matters; how could such crude rhetoric possibly fool them?
They were simply giving Fan Xiao a way out.
"Of course... I'll choose mine!"
Surrounded by the three, Lu Baizhi suddenly puffed out her proud chest, and a righteous expression appeared on her pure face: "I...I am Fan Xiao's girlfriend, so I should make the decision. You...you should not interfere."
After saying that, she felt much more relaxed.
Lu Baizhi, you finally dared to teach these shameless philanderers a lesson! Keep it up! Take them all down... Lu Baizhi cheered herself on in her heart.
"Hehe, little sister, that's not right." The saintess chuckled. "You said it yourself, you're just boyfriend and girlfriend. This kind of relationship is very fragile. It can break at any time. You can't make the decisions for your darling."
"I'm just stating the facts. You... you have to swallow your anger if you're not happy about it."
Lu Baizhi became unusually assertive: "Fan Xiao did indeed choose my suggestion; I am the person he values most."
"Weren't you just lucky?" the saintess said with a light laugh. "Don't you think it's possible that you just happened to guess correctly?"
"You chose stealth... Hmm, stealth combined with invincible offense can better amplify the attack advantage."
Yin, who was standing to the side, looked thoughtful after hearing Lu Baizhi's answer.
This choice... isn't bad either.
Although she was slightly dissatisfied that Fan Xiao didn't choose her suggestion, it was nothing more than a few complaints, and this negative emotion was naturally nothing compared to Fan Xiao's important business.
Yes, of the four people present, she was the most honest—she was seriously analyzing the rationality of Fan Xiao's ability combination.
