"They... need a month's supply!?"
Fan Xiao was so surprised that he murmured aloud.
The last time something was this unexpected was the last time.
A month's worth of luck can bring about tremendous miracles.
It takes a whole month just to find out Cinderella's true identity?
The fact that these two are of equal value is astonishing!
Is Cinderella going to defy the heavens?!
"No, it shouldn't have anything to do with Cinderella's strength. The reason they need so many is probably because..."
Soon, Fan Xiao came up with an answer.
—It's very likely that once he obtains Cinderella's true identity, the solution to clear this dungeon will be ready.
In other words, Cinderella's identity is crucial to the player!
"The Thoughts of the Four Worlds" is an A-level psionic dungeon, and a single key piece of information is worth a month's worth of luck... well, that makes sense.
"No wonder even Fan Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out Cinderella's identity. It turns out it wasn't that she didn't want to find out, but that she couldn't."
"So, given Fan Xiaoxiao's mental strength, the amount of luck she can generate is probably less than a month's worth. Or... her destiny isn't as omnipotent as my quantum immortality, and she can't obtain such crucial information?"
Fan Xiao made a judgment in his mind.
As introduced in the novel "Fan Xiaoxiao and Gu Hange", after the finale, Fan Xiaoxiao gave up her obsession with saving others, stopped using her superpowers, and started living a normal life.
Therefore, when Cinderella brought her into the real world, she had no luck reserves—a fact she herself admitted.
If she wants to use luck, she has to switch the passive state of "fate" to an active one, using her own spiritual power to activate her abilities and generate luck.
How much luck she can generate is linked to the upper limit of her mental capacity.
Therefore, there are two possibilities why Fan Xiaoxiao cannot find out Cinderella's true identity—either she doesn't care and is too lazy to spend the energy to do it; or she is like him and cannot do it for the time being.
The first possibility... well, we can skip it.
Fan Xiaoxiao's prototype is, after all, him. Given his personality, it's impossible for him to ignore such important intelligence.
It can only be the second possibility.
Thinking of this, Fan Xiao tried again to determine the amount of luck required to establish the "true myth".
The result... was actually more than what was needed to obtain the Cinderella identity, taking a month and a half!
This result, a second goal, came as a huge surprise to Fan Xiao.
"I've already identified four myths. The current situation is that I can find the real myth by choosing one of the four. And yet... it takes a month and a half of luck to accomplish this?"
Fan Xiao frowned.
Something is wrong!
Something's really wrong!
There must be something wrong somewhere!
For multiple-choice questions with four options, determining the answer certainly doesn't require that much luck.
Unless... his guess is wrong, and all four myths are false, with the true myths still hidden in the mist.
Or... the true myth is indeed among these four myths, but just like Cinderella's identity information, some key information has been hidden, so even if you choose the right one out of the four, you still can't achieve your goal.
Fan Xiao reviewed all the information again.
After a mental whirlwind, he felt, both in terms of speculation and intuition, that his previous judgment was not wrong.
Therefore, the answer is likely the second one—some key information in the true mythology has been hidden.
"Hidden information...it sounds like Cinderella's doing."
"So...she not only hid her identity, but also the true mythological story?"
"There must be a reason for doing this. If we think about it from the opposite perspective, we can confirm that the true myth is also one of the most crucial clues for clearing the dungeon."
"But... why is the information about the true mythology half a month longer than Cinderella's identity information?"
As Fan Xiao pondered the answer, new doubts arose within him.
Logically, since both pieces of information were hidden by Cinderella, the difficulty of obtaining them should be the same.
How can there be an extra half month?
After some thought, Fan Xiao tentatively came up with an answer—the amount of information in the real mythology is much larger than the amount of information about Cinderella's identity, so obtaining the former is more difficult than obtaining the latter.
"Hopefully, Fan Xiaoxiao's espionage work will be effective. If her intelligence gathering fails, we'll have to try a more forceful approach."
Fan Xiao silently prayed for Fan Xiaoxiao.
After realizing the value of these two pieces of information, he abandoned his investigation online.
It would take him a full month and a half of luck to find out the information he was trying to uncover!
Let's not waste our time on futile efforts.
After organizing the available information, Fan Xiao got up and left the internet cafe, went outside to the street, and quickly blended into the crowd.
Soon, he found a quiet alley, went inside, and let the "Wind of Nothingness" blow around him to shield him from any possible prying eyes.
Then, his gaze fell on his right wrist, where he was wearing a hair tie with cute heart-shaped decorations—this hair tie was Fan Xiaoxiao's personal item, which she usually used to tie her hair. Fan Xiaoxiao had given him quite a few when they separated.
He wore one on his right wrist and put the rest in the player's storage space.
Rip—Fan Xiao tore off his hair tie and then threw a handful of pre-prepared shredded paper onto the ground.
at the same time.
Another block of Blackrock City, far from here.
Fan Xiaoxiao, sitting in a wheelchair, was slowly walking among the pedestrians.
Many people's eyes were drawn to her exquisite face, and while they were amazed by her beauty, they were also captivated by her gentle and serene temperament.
The return rate is quite high.
The next second, Fan Xiaoxiao's low ponytail tied at the back of her head suddenly fell down, and the loose, smooth hair fell straight down.
Feeling something was wrong with her hair, she glanced behind her and saw that the hair tie holding her ponytail had broken and fallen to the ground.
Fan Xiao contacted her.
Yes, this is the method of communication she had arranged—not long ago she made a simple wish: as long as Fan Xiao breaks the hair tie on his wrist, the hair tie on her head will break at the same time due to an accident.
Conversely, when she wants to contact Fan Xiao, she only needs to make a wish for the hair tie on Fan Xiao's wrist to break.
Such a simple wish requires almost no luck.
Whether her "destiny" is in a passive or active state, she doesn't need to consider saving money when making wishes of this magnitude.
Fan Xiaoxiao left the crowd, found an open space, and threw a handful of scraps of paper on the ground.
Then, she made a new, simple wish.
Soon, in the deserted alleyway where Fan Xiao was far away, a gentle breeze began to blow.
A gentle breeze rustled the scraps of paper on the ground, forming the words: "What is it?"
Seeing this, Fan Xiao immediately said, "Besides her identity, Cinderella is also hiding information about the true mythology. Help me investigate. Over."
On the other side, Fan Xiaoxiao began to make a wish—to obtain the information from Fan Xiaofang's words.
A gentle breeze blew.
The scraps of paper she threw out miraculously pieced together a line of words—the very words Fan Xiao had said.
"A true myth..." Fan Xiaoxiao looked thoughtful.
At this moment, her "destiny" ability is in an active state.
Manipulating Luck to achieve this simple communication doesn't consume much of her mental energy—or rather, this mental energy consumption can be automatically replenished in just a few minutes.
A moment later, the scraps of paper in front of Fan Xiao were blown by the breeze again, forming a new message: "Received."
……
Four p.m.
Xia Li's team returned to the internet cafe, and there was one more person in the team - a girl who looked to be about 14 years old. She was wearing a school uniform, had bright, fluffy blonde hair, and her small and cute face had delicate eyebrows and eyes that looked quite similar to Xia Li's, with a touch of heroism.
Fan Xiao's gaze fell on the girl. As he observed her, her petite and youthful body, her curious gaze as she looked around, and the sharp canine teeth that she inadvertently revealed when she smiled gave him a lively and energetic feeling of a girl.
It's a very appealing atmosphere; at first glance, it evokes an initial sense of goodwill.
"Magical Girl Lily".
He figured out the girl's identity in his mind.
A heart-shaped pendant necklace hung from the other person's thin, youthful chest, and his gaze lingered on the necklace for a few more seconds.
If I remember correctly... according to the setting, this seems to be a magical girl transformation device.
The transformations in the work are enhanced with holy light.
I wonder if there will be a nude scene when he transforms in real life... Wait, why is he worrying about this?
Fan Xiao realized his thoughts had wandered off course and quickly brought them back to the right track.
He watched "Magical Girl Lily" last night and just finished watching the series. Today he met the real person... It feels quite novel.
No one in the internet cafe looked this way; it must have been Xia Li who intervened.
"You are... Brother Fan Jin?"
Lily, dressed in a school uniform, approached Fan Xiao and asked in a slightly childish voice.
Fan Xiao nodded and smiled, "It seems you are the magical girl."
"Yes, just call me Lily."
After introducing herself, Lily clenched her little fist and said, "I've already heard about it from Sister Shirley. Cinderella tricked us! She brought a lot of bad guys into this world, causing chaos everywhere and killing many people... We absolutely have to stop this!"
She puffed out her chest and declared with great enthusiasm, "Count me in on the plan to save the world! I'm in!"
Chapter 710 I'll teach you a lesson for your foul mouth!
Hearing Lily's firm and energetic voice, and her slightly childish words, Xia Li and the other two remained calm, as if they had seen it before, and did not pay much attention to her.
Xia Li took off her silver helmet, revealing her strikingly beautiful face with a touch of heroism. She looked up at Fan Xiao and said, "As you can see, she is my fan-created character."
"Sister Xia Li, please call me Lily."
Lily seemed a little unhappy with the description of "fan-made character".
They made it sound like she was some kind of clone.
"Then you shouldn't call me 'brother' randomly."
Xia Li glanced at her and gave her some instructions.
She seemed a little bothered by Lily calling Fan Xiao "Brother Fan Jin".
Lily is a derivative character of hers, and has a face that is somewhat similar to hers, so in some ways she can be seen as her younger self.
The other party was calling him "brother" randomly... and with Bai Xiaomao, that pretentious little brat, also calling Fan Xiao "brother," she couldn't help but feel... that she herself was pretending to be young and calling someone else "brother," and that she was the same kind of person as Bai Xiaomao.
She felt a little awkward.
"Huh? But... according to age, I should call you 'brother.' If I don't call you 'brother,' what should I call you? Isn't it impolite to just call you by your name...?"
Lily looked puzzled.
Even the way she looked at Fan Xiao became conflicted.
"Just call him Uncle Fan," Fan Xiao suggested.
"..." Xia Li: "You can just call him Mr. Fan. Let's stop with the irrelevant small talk and get down to business."
"Mr. Fan."
Lily addressed Fan Xiao very politely.
Fan Xiao nodded, not insisting on having another niece.
