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

In his view, the Twilight Council was no match for him; it was already like fish on a chopping board, at his mercy.

Unexpectedly... something that seemed certain could go wrong?

Fan Xiao refused to believe it and tried it several more times.

In the end... they all failed.

He could not obtain the specific identities of the core members of the Twilight Council through "his own luck".

As for using Xiao Zhen to obtain information... although Xiao Zhen is an A-grade tool, its function is limited to the same world, and in this respect, it cannot compare to his luck.

Of course, it's not entirely without a solution.

He could either wait a while until his mental limit broke through the S-level range before trying again, or... accumulate "world fortune" specifically used to interfere with external cause and effect to break the deadlock—Fan Xiao immediately switched "quantum immortality" to passive state, sensed it in detail, and found that the number of days of luck needed to break the deadlock was quite a lot, actually more than a month's worth.

Neither of these two solutions can be implemented in the short term.

"This is really strange... Is it really that difficult to obtain information about A-level players?"

Fan Xiao felt a growing sense of doubt.

With his mental strength, which is about to break through to the S-level range, obtaining information about a mere few A-level players should be quite easy for him.

These people are most likely within the G08 node.

At such a close distance, it still failed to retrieve the data... Something's wrong!

Now that he's already made all those boasts, Fan Xiao is finding himself in a difficult situation.

He originally planned to collect the identity information of the thirteen people and then launch a thunderous strike from afar with the "Judgment of Annihilation" to kill all these guys who liked to cause trouble in the dark.

The result... how could the first step have failed!

When eliminating an enemy with "destructive judgment", one must know the exact target – either see them directly or possess basic information that can identify them, such as their name and appearance.

Even just one photo—as long as it's not a "photo fraud"—is enough to meet the conditions for activating his ability.

After all, this move essentially involves guiding the opponent's potential future, so you first need to know who you're guiding.

A goal that is too vague will not meet the conditions for activating this ability.

Simply put... you need to establish enough "cause and effect"!

“To launch an attack directly targeting the concept of the Twilight Council… No, that’s too abstract! If there were enough world fortune, that would be fine, but we can’t do something so far-fetched at this stage.”

Fan Xiao pondered carefully where the problem lay.

To block his "lucky intelligence" ability at this stage, an extremely high level of power is required.

Conservatively speaking, it would have to be a super A-grade item or A-grade psionic energy specifically designed to block information; the latter would be even more powerful if it could break through limits.

The possibility that the Twilight Council possesses items or psionic powers can be largely ruled out.

Because if they had such power, they wouldn't have been exposed to his sight before.

If it's not due to the parliament itself, then it must be due to external factors.

The next second, Fan Xiao thought of Dr. Zhuang.

Could it be that Dr. Zhuang has gotten involved in the Twilight Council's affairs?

Speaking of which... the Twilight Council had previously been in contact with the One Wing people, so it's not surprising that Dr. Zhuang, who had secretly infiltrated the area, came into contact with these people.

"No, logically speaking, with Tina guarding the gate for me, S-class players shouldn't be able to get through, and Dr. Zhuang's S-class counterpart should be the same, unable to get through G08."

"The most he can send over is an A-grade isotope!"

"And a mere A-level isotope, which does not possess A-level psionic energy that blocks information, is unlikely to evade my lucky detection."

Fan Xiao quickly deduced the answer.

unless……

"Unless Dr. Zhuang's counterpart is protected by a high-level special power, such as... an S-class item."

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this should be the correct answer.

Dr. Zhuang most likely used an S-level item to influence the core members of the Twilight Council, making the identities of these thirteen people impossible to ascertain.

What does Dr. Zhuang want to do?

Should they recruit troops to besiege him?

To deal with a mere B-rank player like him, not only did they not just go all out, but they also gathered a bunch of A-rank players to try and ambush him... This guy is a real beast!

Fan Xiaoyu sighed inwardly.

Although these were all guesses, intuitively he felt that the answer was very close to the truth.

That's exactly what happened.

What Fan Xiao didn't know was that when he used Luck to investigate Dr. Zhuang's information, Dr. Zhuang would exist as one of thirteen identical beings. Due to the merging of their fates, he locked onto the wrong target and therefore couldn't find the correct information. When he used Luck to investigate the thirteen members of the council, the thirteen would exist as Dr. Zhuang, and he would once again lock onto the wrong target and find nothing.

S-rank item: Jade Record.

All for oneself, and oneself for all.

This is one of the areas where its power is applied—making it so that detection methods targeting itself can never lock onto the correct target.

This characteristic can even be quite deceptive when gathering information about the S-rank item, Wheel of Fate.

Unfortunately, even supernatural powers cannot overcome fate.

Fan Xiao was indeed fooled by this feature.

However, the fact that it cannot be detected is itself a flaw.

Who would have thought that he would encounter this situation in the 007 section?

The reasoning derived from this flaw brought him closer to the truth... No, it wasn't really a flaw at all.

After all... who the hell could have imagined that someone could obtain the information they wanted across multiple zones, almost getting their wish just by luck?

At this moment, Lu Xining looked at Fan Xiao and asked, "And then? You gathered up a bunch of leaves and scraps... and just stood there spacing out?"

"Things have changed."

With the attitude that as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be embarrassed, Fan Xiao said in a serious tone, "I originally wanted to directly eliminate the Twilight Council, but I never expected... this action would bring me an unexpected gain."

"We don't need to worry about the Twilight Council for now. If nothing unexpected happens, those thirteen core members should already be under Dr. Zhuang's control."

"Uh... is this really true?" Lu Baizhi asked in surprise. "If so, shouldn't we be even more concerned?"

"Dr. Zhuang and thirteen A-level players, this is a huge problem!" Yin frowned slightly. "If what you say is true, we have to deal with him before he gains control of more A-level players. Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the greater the danger will be!"

I never expected that Dr. Zhuang would make such a big move without making a sound.

If it weren't for a lucky accident, they would still be kept in the dark.

“S-level players… shouldn’t be able to get here, right?” Lu Xining asked Fan Xiao. “Even if Dr. Zhuang can infiltrate the G08 node, he should only be able to bring an A-level counterpart. How could his A-level counterpart handle so many A-level players in such a short time? The A-level players of the Twilight Council are quite powerful.”

"What if he used an S-rank item?"

Fan Xiao revealed his speculation.

“That’s troublesome,” Lu Xining said, pondering for a moment. “What do you plan to do? Take the initiative? Or continue to lie low?”

"Well..."

Fan Xiao thought for a moment and estimated the extent of his own strength improvement.

He then gave his answer: "Let's continue to lie low. Dr. Zhuang probably doesn't know how much information we already have about him. He's probably still hiding in the shadows, accumulating strength and preparing for his plan."

"We...shouldn't disturb him."

"Let him prepare at his own pace. The longer he prepares, the more advantageous it will be for me."

Upon hearing this, the three observed Fan Xiao and, finding that he was indeed indifferent, stopped trying to persuade him.

Fan Xiao's judgments are almost always correct, so they are definitely more accurate than theirs.

Fan Xiao... really didn't care.

No matter what Dr. Zhuang wants to do, as long as he dares to prolong the preparation time, he will surely lose everything.

Because he's getting stronger every single day!

The spiritual ceiling, the evolution rate, and the number of souls the reincarnation system can accommodate—these three indicators increase by a certain amount every day.

At this moment, his mental limit has reached the A-level limit.

It is estimated that in another week or two, his mental potential will be able to cross the limit and reach... the S-level range.

The S-rank range—this means he can lock in his future awakening of B-rank psionic abilities.

If he accumulates another month's worth of "world fortune" and merges it with his "personal fortune," he can awaken a B-grade spiritual power out of thin air.

In another month or two, his evolution rate will probably catch up, cross the 90% threshold, and reach the realm of S-level players.

Evolution rate and mental strength are related as one of inclusion and being included.

It encompasses the unity of the physical body, the spirit, and the conceptual body, making it more comprehensive.

Focusing solely on enhancing mental strength is a case of specialization, which can easily lead to a state of "high attack but low imitation".

Once the evolution rate increases and he enters the S-level range, his conceptual body will be strong enough to ignore ordinary conceptual attacks.

As long as Dr. Zhuang is willing to wait, he is willing to dominate the game when he has the upper hand.

Give him enough time to grow, and when that time comes, even a super player will have to kneel on the ground and sing "Conquer".

and so……

"Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang, the situation now is completely different from the last time."

"Just prepare as much as you like, and it would be best to extend your preparation time to several months, or even half a year..."

"When you confidently surround me, I'll give you a surprise."

With that thought in mind, Fan Xiao stopped dwelling on the matter.

……

Partition 010.

Spirit City.

Shortly after Fan Xiao returned home, the game instance of the Fairy Tale Kingdom ended.

Having made a fortune, Yan Keke entered Fan Xiao's house through the dungeon portal, ready to share her joy with Alpha.

Since being possessed by Tina and arriving in Division 010, Alpha has stayed at Van Shaw's house, acting as Van Shaw's daughter.

Although she has a sharp tongue... well, she really does have a sharp tongue! But her adorable and studious personality is still quite popular with Fan Xiao's family.

Even Xiaoyu enjoys playing with her... mainly because she likes the sense of accomplishment she feels as an elder when she acts as her "aunt".

Moreover, Alpha is willing to call her aunt.

This kid may have a sharp tongue, but he's truly obedient!

I'll listen to anything you say!

Yan Keke also really likes Alpha, and this isn't the first time she's shared her joy of making money with him.

This time, however, Yan Keke didn't have a chance to share it.

Because... she saw Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao was talking with many family members.

The topic is something about a C-rank dungeon being destroyed... How scary!

As they talked, the topic turned to Song Qingshan. Fan Xiao sighed, remarking on how wild his younger brother was, practically a dungeon-running maniac. He rarely came back and couldn't even catch a glimpse of him. It seemed he'd have to find a chance to teach him a lesson...

At this moment, Alpha suddenly spoke up: "Lord Fan Xiao! Song Qingshan said that his home is too unlucky, with too many women and too few men, and too little muscle mass. So he is going to the dungeon to avoid trouble and wash away the bad luck."

"..."

Lu Xining, Lu Baizhi, and Yin all lowered their eyelids slightly.

My disobedient younger brother needs to be taught a lesson!

He needs to understand who's in charge in this family!

"Brother Fan!"

At this moment, Yan Keke raised her voice and shouted.
