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

“Just kidding,” Reinhardt shrugged. “Finding a scapegoat is easy, isn’t it? Just pin it on the Whale Fall organization, right? The Whale Fall and the Radiant Society destroyed Star Memory City, and at the same time, the Mammons disrupted the spacetime orbit… What a coincidence! Blaming it on the Whale Fall is perfectly logical.”

“It was Mammon who disrupted the course, and the scapegoat must be found within Mammon,” Wilde cautioned.

"Ha...do you believe that?"

Reinhardt sneered, "Mammon has been present at node G08 for so many years, has anyone ever disrupted its orbit?"

“Yes, and twice,” Wilde said. “Both incidents happened quite early, so it’s normal that you weren’t a player at the time.”

Reinhardt: "..."

Damn it... the Mammons are truly wicked!

"...Are you sure this isn't a frame-up?" Reinhardt asked.

"There's no point in dwelling on this; the matter is already settled. With you as a ready-made scapegoat, I doubt the other fusion divisions will bother looking for the real culprit. It's so easy to just dump the blame on you, isn't it? Who told you to always act like the person in charge of Mammon?"

Oscar Wilde said, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just reminding you out of consideration for our past acquaintance, so you don't end up on the game company's bounty list because of your inaction."

"..." Reinhardt said coldly, "Why not just pin it on that 'young guy'? My purpose in cooperating with you is to eliminate him anyway. Your fusion division doesn't want to let such a dangerous element continue to exist either. Since we've already determined to be enemies, how about just shifting the blame?"

"Hmm...that's a good idea."

Oscar Wilde accepted the offer.

……

After saying goodbye to Wilde, Reinhardt's expression turned unusually grim.

No delusion!

What a disaster!

How come he gets blamed for all the messy things?

Being the self-appointed head of Mammon... is really not an easy job!

"Still can't get in touch with Samael?" Reinhardt asked Xin beside him.

Xin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sighed softly, "I had quite a few people perform the dungeon ritual, but there was no reaction at all. As for Samael... there's probably something wrong with him."

“You told me before that ‘young man’ went to Division 004.” Reinhardt frowned. “Could this series of events be related to him? Or… was he the one who did it?”

Previously, Xin had suddenly visited him and told him a lot of secret information—the Speaker of the Twilight Council had joined forces with a mysterious force from an outer node, and that mysterious force had built a stronghold in Star Memory City in the 004 division.

In an attempt to curry favor, the Speaker secretly manipulated the fusion zone to send a considerable amount of fantasy materials to Star Memory City.

As a result... all these fantastical substances were stolen by "Youthful Style".

This guy not only hijacked the car, but also killed many peripheral members of the Twilight Council.

They even ripped off several train conductors.

This means they've truly become enemies with the Speaker.

Xin found him before the speaker could take any action, told him about the matter, and suggested that he take the initiative to contact the speaker and accept the task of attacking the young Fan in advance, in order to curry favor with the speaker and improve his reputation.

He was tempted, and that's what he did.

Meanwhile, the various merged zones were also troubled by the unscrupulous bandit, Young Fan, so they organized a team to punish him, with many A-level players participating and him leading the charge.

Because he had previously collected money from various merged partitions, he issued a ban to the Mammons in the G08 node—they were not allowed to hijack vehicles in the near future.

He took the money, and now that someone has broken the rules, it's naturally his responsibility to handle it.

So, he went with the flow and found the attack teams in the various integration zones, and took the initiative to cooperate.

Now everything is ready except for the final push—we just need to find the location of the young man, and then we can begin the campaign.

Xin took the initiative to find the location and soon received news that young Fan had gone to Division 004.

As a result... just as they were about to take action, news of the destruction of Star Memory City and the disruption of the spacetime orbit spread on the Mammon Forum.

Reinhardt frowned, feeling that this series of events was too coincidental.

And... Xin, that guy, showed extraordinary interest and enthusiasm in the matter of attacking the young Fan.

He had a slight suspicion that this guy might be plotting something behind the scenes.

Chapter 683 Another S-Rank Item

"There's too little information about this right now, so I can't give you the answer you're looking for."

Faced with Reinhardt's question, Xin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, shook his head: "Logically speaking, young Fan came from the outer node, so there's no reason for him to get involved in the destruction of Star Memory City and the disruption of spacetime orbits. But... all of this seems too coincidental."

"He had only been in Division 004 for a short time when the incident happened there."

"I can only say... there's a high chance he's involved."

"Forget it, whether he did it or not, let's just pin the blame on him. Anyway, we're going to take him down."

Reinhardt frowned as he said this: "Star Memory City is Samael's territory... no, Star Memory City is more like our Twilight Council's backyard."

"Now that Star Memory City has been destroyed and Samael can no longer be contacted, without the goods from those satellite cities, the Twilight Council's network of interests will likely be greatly affected."

"This matter will likely ignite the Speaker's fury. Regardless of whether it was Young Fan who did it, this guy is involved and will definitely be on the Speaker's kill list. As for the task of eliminating Young Fan... sigh, I guess I won't be able to take all the credit for it."

"The Speaker will probably gather us soon to announce this, and then... I won't be the only one vying for the mission. Our plan has failed."

At this point, he couldn't help but curse, "What a waste of a trip! What a damn bad luck!"

Xin didn't reply. His eyes, hidden beneath the brim of his hat, seemed deep, as if he were thinking about something else.

Seeing that his teammate seemed a bit distracted, Reinhardt couldn't help but ask, "You don't seem troubled at all? Speaking of which, you were the one who encouraged me to carry out this expedition plan."

"To call it instigation is going too far. If you weren't interested, do you think I could get you to take action just by saying a few words?"

Xin smiled slightly and said, "Moreover, what I'm always interested in is the young Fan's abilities. No matter who goes to fight him, once the battle begins, I can obtain the information I need. So... you have reason to be troubled by this, but I don't care. I can only say... you were a little unlucky and missed the best time to fight."

"Is Young Fan still in Division 004?" Reinhardt suddenly asked.

"What, you want to kill the other party before the Speaker calls us to a meeting, and claim all the credit for yourself?"

Xin shook his head: "You're right about one thing, our plan has failed, and I advise you to give up on this idea."

"According to our original plan, this matter was to be done jointly by you, me, Samael, the annihilation team of the Fusion Division, the Star Memory City Alliance, and the mysterious force that established a stronghold in Star Memory City... by all of us."

"Now that Samael is gone and the orbit is destroyed, the various fusion zones don't have the energy to organize any more punitive expeditions."

"Even if you manage to get to Section 004 on your own, what can you do by yourself?"

“Isn’t there you? My teammate,” Reinhardt reminded him.

“I’m not going to get involved in this mess because we don’t have enough people,” Xin said with a smile. “After all… I’m not a combatant. What I’m good at… well, research and academics. But I’m absolutely no good at fighting.”

"...Aren't you overestimating young Fan?" Reinhardt frowned. "You've brought in so many forces just to deal with him alone? If we follow your plan, we'll have over a dozen A-level players on our side. You're being far too cautious!"

"No, the only person I'm looking for is you."

Xin, with an impeccable expression, uttered the lie: "The others... the punitive teams from various fusion zones, were provoked by Young Fan himself."

"As for the Star Memory City Alliance, Samael, and the mysterious force that established a stronghold in Star Memory City, these are all local forces of Division 004."

"Young Fan went to Division 004 on his own. That area is full of our people, so why not use them?

He sighed softly, "What a pity, such a good siege plan was terminated prematurely due to an accident... This accident is truly unexpected. In my calculations, the conflict shouldn't have broken out so early..."

"Let's just say they were lucky."

Reinhardt said, "Since you're unwilling to participate, let's go back. I reckon the Speaker will summon us soon to discuss this matter in detail."

"It can only be the."

Xin's tone was tinged with helplessness.

He had made all the arrangements perfectly, except... he hadn't expected the conflict to break out prematurely.

Now that Samael has been killed, the Star Memory City Alliance has been destroyed, and the members sent by One Wing have been wiped out... with so much combat power missing, this plan can no longer succeed.

However... he didn't come away empty-handed.

At least he realized one thing...

"There are too many uncontrollable factors outside the instance. It seems that I have to choose to do it inside the instance if I want to achieve my goal."

“Dungeons… The Speaker of the Twilight Council controls A-rank dungeons, which is a good choice.”

"The other members of parliament are also quite capable, so... let's focus our energy on the arrangements for the parliament for now."

Xin silently made a decision in her heart.

We can put things aside with Fan Xiao first and deal with the Twilight Council. Once that's done, the rest will be easier.

Yes, he never took the so-called parliament or the speaker seriously from beginning to end.

He is Xin.

He is also Dr. Zhuang.

It is one of Dr. Zhuang's Class A isotopes.

Dr. Zhuang can be anyone.

Anyone can become Dr. Zhuang.

All for oneself, and oneself for all; the lower is like the upper, and the upper is like the lower, thus fulfilling the miracle of Taiyi—this is one of the effects of the S-rank item, Jade Record.

Xin's thoughts sank, recalling the memories that were synchronized in his mind.

Dr. Zhuang was initially unaware of Fan Xiao's existence... or rather, he knew that such a person existed, that he was Gu Hange's younger brother, but he was unclear about his special status.

In the last battle at node G06, Dr. Zhuang, whom Gu Hange and Fan Xiao knew, died—he was one of Dr. Zhuang's S-class isomorphs, who had led psionic experiments on Earth before it was involved in the evolution game.

When that S-class counterpart died, the sealing device was most likely in operation. In addition, Gu Hange's "Chaotic Heaven" could disrupt concepts... With so many unfavorable factors, it's normal that the other party's memories hadn't been updated.

Yes, the memories between Dr. Zhuang's isotopes can be updated and shared.

This effect originates from the "Dr. Zhuang's Memory Cloud Server" created by the S-level item.

Fortunately, although the S-class counterpart's memories before death were not updated, Dr. Zhuang, as expected of Dr. Zhuang, had already devised countermeasures for various possibilities before the battle even began, and had already considered failure as one of the possibilities.

Because of this consideration, the counterpart uploaded his bold guess about Fan Xiao's identity in advance—that he was a potential S-class psionic user.

That battle, besides aiming to seize the "Silver Court" holder, also served to verify whether the speculation was true.

The latter was the primary objective, while the former... was initially the primary objective, but later became merely a secondary objective.

The importance of S-class psionicists surpasses everything else.

Unfortunately, the information regarding the verification results was not uploaded or updated.

That isotope died.

Whether the final outcome was a success or a failure, neither Dr. Zhuang nor his counterparts knew.

Of course, it’s not without gain.

At least Fan Xiao came into the sights of Dr. Zhuang and his team, becoming a key target of their investigation.

And so... he was born.

He is Xin.

It's Dr. Zhuang.

It is a new isotope.

Suddenly, Xin Qianxing paused for a moment.

New memories have been updated and synchronized—the conservative high-ranking members of One Wing have launched an attack on Dr. Zhuang. The blame for the destruction of the Star Memory City stronghold and the deaths of Duran and others has been pinned on Dr. Zhuang.

At this moment, Dr. Zhuang himself is in trouble and has no choice but to engage in open and covert struggles and maneuvers with these ugly and corrupt individuals.

I'll probably be quite busy in the near future.

After reading through the memories, Xin almost shook his head and laughed.

"The way things have turned out... is really interesting and amazing."

The destruction of Star Memory City was undoubtedly orchestrated by Fan Xiao.

In this matter, the greatest danger Fan Xiao will encounter is Pianyi—Fan Xiao slapped Pianyi in the face, and getting revenge is inevitable.

As a result, the blame was pinned on him... or rather, on Dr. Zhuang.

Fan Xiao, on the other hand, cleaned himself up completely.
