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

"What do you mean by guessing right... Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Baizhi replied to the Holy Maiden with great dissatisfaction, "This is... this is my indirect proof that I know Fan Xiao best!"

"Didn't you declare yourself the official girlfriend?" The saintess chuckled. "I see you have no confidence or lingering charm at all. I was just saying it casually, and you're already so eager to prove it? Hehe... Little sister, your relationship with your darling doesn't seem very solid."

At this point, she solemnly commented, "Well, that's true. Girlfriends rarely last long; they're usually replaced every now and then. Little sister, you'd better be careful. There are many temptations out there. Defending a tower is much harder than attacking it."

"Fan Xiaocai isn't that kind of person!"

Lu Baizhi was momentarily speechless after being rebuked by the saintess, and for a moment she couldn't find the sharp words to retort.

She has almost never argued with anyone and is not good at showing malice towards others.

So when faced with this kind of situation, I tend to be a bit tongue-tied.

Fortunately, she has a sharp-tongued older sister.

Lu Xining suddenly let out a cold snort and joined the conversation, saying, "Attacking a tower is indeed easier than defending it, but my sister isn't someone anyone can mess with. Some people are practically old women, yet they don't even dare to kiss, and they think they can attack a tower..."

After a cold laugh, she commented, "Just the fantasies of an old maid."

"..."

The saintess really wanted to abandon her etiquette and curse on the spot.

However, she soon discovered, to her dismay, that she couldn't out-swear this shameless girl.

People who have no sense of shame are so hard to deal with!

This guy... The younger sister seems perfectly normal, so why is the older sister like this?

The saintess suppressed her provocative attitude and sighed softly to herself.

Sometimes she herself doesn't know what she's provoking or fighting for.

Although she had seen her and Fan Xiao's future and many explicit scenes with the help of the props, those were ultimately revelations given by the props. She had not experienced them herself, so she could not truly empathize with them.

From this perspective, her provocative behavior is like that of a madwoman; she is doing something completely meaningless and irrational.

"Could it be that acting too much has affected my psychology, causing me to feel affection and jealousy? Uh... probably not."

Feeling conflicted within herself, the saint temporarily suppressed her thoughts.

After saying goodbye to Lu Baizhi, Jian Dan walked out of the castle.

She needs to clear her head right now.

Although the future was already crystal clear thanks to the props, she felt uncertain and a little lost about it.

It's like a sheltered young woman suddenly finding out she has a fiancé... With her current conflicted feelings, can she really move towards that future?

There was a sense that something crucial was missing, something that would have helped her accept the outcome both physically and mentally.

Perhaps the future will provide the answer.

"What's up with her?"

Lu Baizhi withdrew her gaze from the saintess's retreating figure and murmured in confusion, "It seems... her condition is a little different from usual?"

"Hmm...maybe I went too far just now?" Lu Xining said uncertainly, "She usually has a strong mentality, and a few sarcastic remarks won't make her think too much...maybe she has something on her mind today."

At this moment, Yin also withdrew his gaze from the saintess's back, his brows furrowed slightly, and a multitude of thoughts arose in his mind as he fell into deep thought.

At this moment, she was surprisingly calm. She didn't say a word about the women's struggle, as if she had noticed it.

In reality... beneath her calm exterior, a psychological storm is brewing at this moment.

Because she discovered something—the saint... didn't seem to be her primary enemy.

Her previous experiences made her think the Saintess was a great threat, but... the Saintess's performance was just too weak!

It seems like she's not even as good as him!

She seems to have mistaken the enemy she should be most wary of!

As for Lu Baizhi... a naive girl who is basking in the glory of her few victories, in terms of threat level... she can't be considered her primary enemy.

On the contrary, it was Lu Xining who had been keeping a low profile all along... This guy didn't show anything from beginning to end, but he seemed to be secretly controlling the whole situation.

The saintess could be easily swayed by her words, and her younger sister was just a naive and innocent girl in front of her... This guy gave her the feeling that he was a bit like Fan Xiao, who liked to lie, and a bit like a treacherous villain.

"Insidious people lie! This Lu Xining, she's always acted like she's pursuing someone she can't have... Could she be putting on an act for me and someone else?"

The thought popped into Yin's mind.

She has now accepted the fact that Fan Xiao has several female confidantes, but that doesn't mean she can tolerate others holding a larger place in Fan Xiao's heart than she does.

Others probably think the same way.

That's exactly what they're fighting for!

Highly qualified people will compete on the same track, but treacherous people... might resort to underhanded tactics and secretly take shortcuts without telling anyone.

Thinking of this, Yin suddenly activated his A-rank psionic ability, "Silver Garden".

As the false time arrived, the expressions on Lu Xining and her sister's faces froze.

Yin took out a photo of himself filled with remorse from his pocket, stuck it to his forehead, and silently recited a spell.

After silently reciting the words, she put away the photo and resumed her original standing posture.

Soon, she stopped using her psionic powers and used her lifespan to materialize her actions from the illusory timeline into reality.

And so, she quietly made contact with the B-rank dungeon "Mone Tower".

The dungeon, which leans towards mental attributes, granted her the ability to detect lies.

Suddenly, Yin abruptly asked Lu Xining, "Have you and Fan Xiao been cheating on each other?"

"Cheating?" Lu Xining asked in surprise, "Why...why are you suddenly asking this question?"

The usually aloof Yin suddenly threw such an embarrassing question at her... It wasn't like the junior sister's usual style.

Could it be... that this arrogant tsundere has discovered something?

"Answer my question," Yin said coldly.

"Why should I answer your nonsensical question?" Lu Xining frowned.

This arrogant guy... this kind of behavior... could he possibly have some kind of lie detector ability?

"Are you feeling guilty?" Yinbi asked.

“You’re overthinking it,” Lu Xining said. “I’m just annoyed by what you said. Cheating? You talk as if you’re my official girlfriend. You’re just my junior sister. My official girlfriend is Zhi Zi, who is my sister. You need to get that straight.”

"She calls herself the official girlfriend; no one else acknowledges it," Yin said bluntly.

"Nonsense! I didn't declare it myself, this is... this is the truth."

Lu Baizhi couldn't help but argue.

Why did you suddenly start arguing?

Why drag her into this argument?

It feels like my sister is deliberately muddying the waters...

And so, Yin started bickering with Lu Xining and her sister in an attempt to test them.

On the first day without Fan Xiao, the chaotic scene continued in an unusual way.

……

Glorious City.

After returning from Fairy Tale Town, the president's intellectual demeanor vanished, replaced by a chilling aura on her beautiful face, her eyes sharp as unsheathed swords.

She quickly summoned the senior members of the Glorious Society to her office.

Upon seeing the chairman's gaze, the group of high-ranking members seemed to realize something, and their expressions all turned serious.

"President, is it time to take action?" someone asked.

"Ah."

The guild leader's voice was no longer gentle, but rather deep: "Pass down the notice, all players of the Radiant Guild, enter a state of combat readiness."

"The B-level members are divided into three groups. The first group will lead all the C-level and D-level members to prepare for battle and await my orders. The second group will select three B-level members with considerable strength to stay behind and guard our three safe zones. The third group will consist of all the remaining B-level members who will follow me."

"As for the E-rank members... this operation is not suitable for them to join, so they should stay with Group Two."

"Has this moment finally arrived?!"

"This may be the last battle."

"Oh? You have a high opinion of our allies, of those people in Whale Fall?"

"I don't think much of them, but I've always believed in the chairman's wisdom! Since the chairman is willing to risk everything, I'll gladly oblige!"

"Haha, that makes sense!"

After a brief and quick exchange, the senior executives got busy.

The chairman did not give them detailed instructions, nor did he announce the key parts of the battle plan... They were not puzzled by this.

After all, who knows if there are any spies from Xingyi City infiltrated within the organization?

We still need to be a little careful in this regard.

Yes, a simple precaution—the fact that the guild leader dared to announce the start of the war at this time shows that he was well-prepared.

This war may be very different from the offensives previously organized by the Radiant Society.

They saw hope and looked forward to the day when their long-cherished wish would be fulfilled.

……

Boom——! ! !

Amidst the deafening roar, the spacetime orbit crumbled inch by inch in the silvery light that surged forth like a tsunami.

The track, made of an unknown material, exploded, causing widespread space tremors.

The light and shadow around them were distorted.

One by one, spatial connection points were severed, and the silver light pierced through, tearing through space and calming the aftershocks of spatial tremors.

Yu Xue Zhao was like a sword immortal; wherever she flew, silver light followed like a flying sword, destroying everything in its path.

After finishing, she raised her sword and slashed, tearing apart the spatial barrier. After several more traversals, she returned to the station area.

Youbai, who was waiting at the edge of the station, immediately went up to her and reminded her, "Young Miss, this is the 37th one. Young Master really knows how to order people around. Destroying this space-time track isn't so simple. Only you, Young Miss, can do it so easily. If it were someone else..."

"It'll only take a few seconds for a different teacher to come."

Yu Xue Zhao succinctly said, "Let's save the complaints for after we finish our work. Let's move on to the next one."

"……Yes."

Youbai said respectfully.

Changing teachers... If we bring in Teacher Tina, and she really starts causing widespread destruction, she might accidentally blow up Section 004... She only dared to think this to herself.

"How's the preparation for shifting the blame going?"

Yu Xue Zhao asked as she took out the traction device.

Section 004 is not a merged section. After she arrived at the station with her ticket, she only had two paths to return: either participate in and complete the instance of Section 004, or jump off the edge of the spacetime track and land in Section 004 by chance.

The traction item is designed for the latter, enabling players to traverse the chaotic spacetime and safely land inside the partition.

"Don't worry, Miss. As usual, I've incorporated a large-scale scene of Mammon wreaking havoc into the memories of the players watching. I've ensured that every detail is in place. I'm very experienced in this area."

Youbai smiled gently.

Practice makes perfect... She's done this kind of thing, putting the blame on others, quite often before.

She herself is certainly not the type to cause trouble; it goes without saying who is the one who likes to stir up trouble.

"After this incident, I'll probably be going to do some dungeons," Yu Xuezhao said.

“After all, I’ve used train tickets to travel to and from the station so many times, and the time limit for the instance keeps getting shorter, and it’s the same for me… Sigh, Young Master really knows how to order people around.” Youbai sighed again.

"You can stay here and participate in the instance. I need to go to an earlier node and will probably be away for a while."

With a soft swoosh, the silver light shattered the oncoming storm, and Yu Xuezhao, carrying Youbai, began to sink into the chaotic spacetime under the guidance of the traction device.

As she fell, she said, "Before leaving... let's have some fun with my junior brother."
