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

Yes, he is the innocent party!

There shouldn't be any conflict between him and Fan Xiaoxiao.

Of course, he would not be any less vigilant or cautious.

At this point, Fan Xiao has a basic understanding of the character Fan Xiaoxiao.

We also made some initial guesses about the "secondary creation characters" that correspond to the players.

For example, these fan-created characters are designed based on certain experiences and personality traits of players, exhibiting a strong sense of "purity".

Players are human beings, and humans are complex creatures with all sorts of emotions and desires.

Fan-created characters are more straightforward, largely fixed in one type of personality.

For example, the righteous Fan Xiaoxiao.

He certainly possesses a sense of justice.

But for him, having a sense of justice and committing acts of slaughter are not contradictory or conflicting, because people are complex and their psychology is not fixed by a certain framework.

Anyway, he couldn't do what Fan Xiaoxiao did.

"I understand the logic, but... why is it a girl?"

Fan Xiao sighed inwardly, feeling utterly speechless.

Are there other gender-swapped players who haven't appeared yet?

Or... is he the only one like this?

Fan Xiao was somewhat uncertain.

In addition to elements of mystery, fantasy, action, and exploration of human nature, the novel "Fan Xiaoxiao and Gu Hange" also includes elements of romance.

The main character, Fan Xiaoxiao, is a woman, and the female lead, Gu Hange, is also a woman. How the hell are they supposed to fall in love?!

Are the two of them involved in a lesbian relationship?

Don't go too far!

Fan Xiao spent some time sorting out his shattered feelings.

Only then did he watch the ending of the work.

Yes, this work has ended.

The ending also fits the tragic hero theme that runs throughout the entire work—Fan Xiaoxiao and Gu Hange break up.

Fan Xiaoxiao is a part of his past self, a part of his personality.

Gu Hange's personality also matches the Gu Hange in his memory; he was born with a chaotic mind and had not become a criminal before because of his self-discipline.

As he grew up, Gu Hange's true nature was gradually unleashed, making him the hidden BOSS in the entire work. He was exposed by Fan Xiaoxiao at the last moment, transforming into the final BOSS and causing a huge disaster in human society.

For the sake of justice and to punish her older sister, Fan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to push her limits and begin an endless process of accumulating luck.

Ultimately, at the cost of being deprived of her right to walk by misfortune, she accumulated enough luck to turn the tide and created a miracle of overcoming adversity.

The crisis was over, and Fan Xiaoxiao became the strongest and most famous hero.

But at the same time, he lost everything.

The novel's final scene shows her, sitting in a wheelchair, placing a bouquet of carnations at Gu Hange's tombstone before leaving the cemetery and returning to the place where she and Gu Hange had once lived together.

After experiencing countless trials and tribulations, she finally let go of her obsession with saving others, gave up using her superpowers, and started a new life.

Unexpectedly, the ending was still a tragedy.

Fan Xiao inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu.

A thought suddenly occurred to him—what if Dr. Zhuang hadn't taken Gu Hange away after she awakened her spiritual powers, but instead left her in the 010 section?

So, will his and Gu Hange's fate be like the ending of this work?

"Why does it feel so fateful? Could it be that the work corresponding to the player in this instance is a simulation of a possible future based on parts of the player's personality and past experiences?"

Fan Xiao found this guess quite interesting.

However, he didn't think about it too much.

Fake is fake, after all; it has no real meaning.

And... Fan Xiaoxiao is a girl!

Who are you insulting, you piece of shit!

"Other players' fan-created characters are appearing one after another, so Fan Xiaoxiao should have also invaded reality by now."

"At night, these fan-made characters are very likely to have the ability to accurately locate their respective prototypes. Tonight... will Fan Xiaoxiao come looking for me?"

"If she kills me, she can inherit my player identity and completely break free from the control of this instance. Wouldn't she be tempted?"

Fan Xiao thought of many things in a short time.

He decided to find some time to meet this Fan Xiaoxiao.

The main purpose is to verify whether Fan Xiaoxiao's superpower "fate" can really only control luck and misfortune.

If an unexpected situation is discovered, he will have to be fully prepared.

"Logically speaking, Fan Xiaoxiao's abilities shouldn't exceed the limits set. The reason why an ultimate simulation of Fan could appear in the Moni Tower instance is twofold: firstly, the Realm of Self belongs to the illusory spiritual world, and secondly, the will of God once descended upon that instance, causing some minor bugs to appear. This instance doesn't have either of these conditions."

"Fan Xiaoxiao isn't even the boss of the instance; she's just a link in the framework of the instance's crisis. The real boss is likely the instigator of the crisis that caused the work to infiltrate reality; she's an enemy of unknown identity... and might not even be human."

"Yes, we can't be too wary of Fan Xiaoxiao and overlook the source of this crisis. Besides, given Fan Xiaoxiao's personality, she could also become an ally."

Fan Xiao quickly figured out the logic.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy – he was too wary of the simulated version of himself, to the point of being paranoid. This kind of mentality is unacceptable.

Of course, we still need to take precautions.

Even if Fan Xiaoxiao can only display the power set in the story, once she becomes hostile towards him, she will still be a very formidable enemy.

After all... who knows how much luck she brought with her when she invaded the real world?

Although "Destiny" lacks direct combat capabilities, just like the incomplete version of "Quantum Immortality," as long as one accumulates enough luck, a single wish can be enough to send chills down one's spine.

With that in mind, Fan Xiao made a decision.

The main approach should be to win them over.

Try to avoid making enemies with them.

He had firsthand experience of how much luck could help him.

If Fan Xiaoxiao could become an ally, it would be a great help.

After completing the investigation, Fan Xiao slowly exhaled and looked to the side.

Xia Li and his two companions continued to gather intelligence.

Seeing this, he didn't disturb him and continued reading "Fan Xiaoxiao and Gu Hange". With his extraordinary memory, he memorized all the details and information for future use.

The more you know about someone, the easier it is to fool them.

When it was 11 p.m., all four of them had finished a round of intelligence gathering and found a corner to begin the intelligence sharing and exchange session.

Sorrowful Wind spoke first: "I found information about the earliest dead evil god's counterpart... or rather, the secondary creation based on him."

"His fan-made character is named Ferocious, and comes from the anime series 'Ordinary People Become the Strongest in the World.' The world setting of this work is a fantasy world of swords and magic, in which a small number of people are born with magic power and can awaken a magical talent. Ferocious's magical talent is the simplest... or rather, the most useless power amplification."

"However, this guy has a cheat code. When he uses magic to enhance his body and amplify his power, a small amount of power will remain permanently in his body each time and will not disappear when the power is removed."

"In other words, the more he uses his talent, the stronger his fundamental power becomes."

Fan Xiao: "..."

The title of this work...

"Is there an upper limit?" the white kitten asked. "It would be too outrageous if there were no upper limit."

"The work doesn't specify whether there's an upper limit. By the end of the work, the ferocious one has become the god of power in the work's level setting."

After thinking for a moment, Beifeng said, "Judging from the animation, Xiongli's strength is probably at the level of world destruction. He could sweep across the entire surface of the earth and destroy human civilization in a single day."

"His combat power is actually a bit hard to estimate. In terms of strength alone, he is definitely far superior to A-level players. But as you know, players rarely fight with pure strength. Moreover, the world-destroying level is not that exaggerated. A powerful A-level item specializing in destruction can also destroy the surface and human civilization in a day. Even my spiritual energy breaking through the limit can do that."

"If it were a real fight... he might be able to beat an average A-level player, but he wouldn't be able to beat a really strong A-level player."

“Comparing ourselves to A-level players is pointless,” Xia Li said. “We’ve all been significantly weakened right now, and our performance might not even be as good as some B-level players. If the opponent truly possesses world-destroying power, we’ll have a hard time dealing with them. However…”

After thinking for a moment, she speculated: "Judging from the previous battle scenes between the fierce god and the ferocious one, the ferocious one's power should also have been weakened. The real world should treat players and characters equally."

"After being weakened equally, the power of ferocity is greater than that of the evil god, so the victory is quick and easy."

"I just don't know how he'll fare against us..."

You only know the answer to these things after you've fought a battle.

She didn't dwell on the matter too much, and asked, "Have you found any weaknesses in the ferocity?"

"In the story, he's not very resistant to mental abilities," Beifeng replied. "If we want to deal with him, we could consider using mental attacks..."

He gave a detailed explanation of his ferocious abilities.

"correct!"

After discussing the ferocity, Beifeng continued, "I also investigated my own fan-made characters and works, and I found them. The title of the work is 'Interspecies Beast Girl Appraisal,' and the protagonist is called Doctor Bei. His job is the same as mine—a... uh, veterinarian."

"His ability is to befriend beast girls of different races, form contracts with them, and then absorb them into his body as tattoos so they can fight alongside him anytime, anywhere."

"The giant crocodile that appeared in the previous battle was one of Doctor Bei's beast girls, and it has its own space inside its body."

"Alien beast girls..."

Fan Xiao and the other two recalled the large anteater that had traveled through space with Bei Feng, and a slightly absurd idea popped into their minds at the same time.

Could the "kemonomimi" here refer to simply female animals, as the name suggests?

The kind without anthropomorphism?

Female animals, beast girls, oh wait... humans and beasts?

"..."

The way the three of them looked at Beifeng changed.

It's like watching a pervert... no, "perverted" is not enough to describe it.

They're looking at garbage!

"...Why are you all looking at me like that?" Bei Feng's eyes twitched, as if he could see what the three of them were thinking, and he explained, "It's not what you think! Besides, Dr. Bei and I are not the same person. What he does has nothing to do with me."

“I’ve also looked into my work,” Xia Li suddenly said. “The protagonist’s personality seems to be based on parts of the player’s personality. So… Dr. Bei can be seen as another version of you, and what Dr. Bei does is definitely one of the things you want to do now or in the past.”

Outrageous!

This is simply...this is...she couldn't find the words to describe it for a moment.

Good heavens! Why did I have to let her know about this?

My mind and memories are no longer clean!

Beifeng opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't explain anything.

Fan Xiao looked at Xia Li and asked, "What are your roles and works?"

"The character is Lily, and the title of the work is Magical Girl Lily."

Xia Li suppressed her disdain and replied, "I think we don't need to be too wary of Lily's character."

"Her personality is part of my personality. Magical Girl Lily is a positive children's animation that promotes love and justice. As the protagonist of the work, Lily is outstanding in terms of morality."

"In short, I believe that even if she invades the real world, she will not hurt me."

"On the contrary, we can take the initiative to reach out to her and recruit her as our companion."

"Companions..." Fan Xiao said, "It's the same for me. My character is Fan Xiaoxiao, and the work is called 'Fan Xiaoxiao and Gu Hange,' which is a superhero-themed work. If Fan Xiaoxiao invades reality, we can also try to win her over. Given her character's personality, she shouldn't be a threat to us."

Xia Li nodded.

She did not doubt Fan Xiao's words.

After all, he is the one who wields the "Azure Flame Sword," and his character is based on his personality. How could he possibly kill innocent people indiscriminately for his own selfish interests?

The only thing that puzzled her was... the name Fan Xiaoxiao didn't sound like a man's name; it was a bit strange.
