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

Unfortunately, this period of peace was short-lived. With the advent of the Evolution Game, players were born into this world, and Wangxiang Town was caught up in it, encountering new problems. The townspeople could only deal with each situation as it arose, finding new solutions and implementing them uniformly. Although they were not very effective, they at least calmed people's hearts and allowed peaceful days to continue.

Until one day, a disaster struck.

Since then, many strange phenomena have begun to appear in the town, such as ghostly blue flames flickering and drifting at night, a large-faced monster hiding in the roof beams, and a mummified old woman wandering around at night... It seems that some eerie things have appeared here.

"The game hint... seems a bit strange?"

Standing next to Du Ruo, Boss Huang frowned and said, "Parents? Brother? How did our relatives end up in the dungeon? Does this dungeon perhaps have customized characters and roles for the participating players?"

"If we infer from the literal meaning alone, that's correct."

Du Ruo reminded everyone, "This is a survival-type dungeon. Dungeons like this are generally quite difficult. Everyone should be on high alert and pay close attention. We don't want to accidentally fail here."

"Old Du, can't you say something nice?" Jin Zhou'an reminded him, "How can you make a promise at a time like this?"

"Don't you guys think the background description for the dungeon is somewhat ambiguous and vague?"

Liu Xue then analyzed, "After the young people of the town left and the town gradually declined, what measures did the mayor take to revive it?"

"What new problems did the emergence of evolutionary games and players bring to this town? What solutions did the townspeople find?"

"A disaster once occurred here. What exactly was the disaster?"

"It's like the game is playing a riddle with us. Do you think it might be hinting that we should investigate things from these angles?"

"It's hard to say at the moment."

Du Ruo said, "It's possible that this is just the style of the background description for this instance."

"Of course, it's always good to pay more attention."

"However, our primary concern right now is safety. You all heard what that player from Zone 001 said earlier. 'Wangxiang Town' is one of the most difficult D-level dungeons, and it's also a survival-type dungeon, so this is going to be a bit troublesome."

"You mean that big mouth?"

Liu Xue glanced at the player from Zone 001 who had previously loudly revealed information and said, "He probably wants to create a tense atmosphere by deliberately exaggerating the sense of crisis, so that everyone will subconsciously stick together for warmth, so that he can win over some teammates who can cooperate with him."

"Regardless of his purpose, it's always right to prioritize safety."

After replying to Liu Xue, Du Ruo glanced to her left and noticed that Fan Xiao was gone.

Lu Xining noticed his gaze and said, "He went over there."

The little girl pointed to her left.

Du Ruo looked in the direction she pointed and found Fan Xiao standing not far away, patting the air as if testing something.

Soon, Fan Xiao returned and said to everyone, "The dry grass and flat land outside are not included in the dungeon map. I tried to get out, but I couldn't. It seems that our activity area is limited to this town."

"What do you think of the game's background and hints?" Du Ruo asked.

Fan Xiao replied, "Lord Du, I feel there must be something fishy about this."

"..." Du Ruo: "Be serious."

"I'm serious."

Fan Xiao shrugged: "We haven't even entered the town yet. What can I possibly figure out besides feeling something's amiss? Do you think I'm Baidu? Let's stop talking theory and go in and see for ourselves."

"Do you really want to go in?"

Jie, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "Judging from the background description, this dungeon seems to be a supernatural dungeon? If there really are ghosts and monsters, holding out on the outskirts of the town is also an option."

"That's definitely something you can do."

Liu Xue said, "However, the game hints say it's best not to go out at night, which should mean we should find someone to stay with. If we stay here and don't move, it might be more dangerous than staying in the town at night."

"Perhaps... the hidden meaning behind the game's hints is not that we should find lodging."

Lu Xining suddenly said, "Where did we get parents and a younger brother in the game? Judging from the literal meaning, this should mean that the dungeon assigned us a role and made us play a member of a family in a small town."

"If I don't go home at night, does that count as staying out all night? Does that count as disobeying my parents?"

"If we count, we've violated two game rules at once."

“Hmm…you’re right.” Brother Jie nodded. “I’m just suggesting another possibility.”

"Let's go into the town first. Staying here is too passive. We'll have to decide which option to make based on the specific circumstances."

Du Ruo made a summary.

After receiving approval from the others, he led the way into the town.

At this moment, quite a few players have already entered the town.

The other players gathered around the "big-mouthed player" in section 001, bombarding him with questions.

The big-mouthed player is not aloof at all; on the contrary, he is very enthusiastic and basically accepts all questions. He answers whatever he knows, displaying a charming and diplomatic style.

This behavior actually won the favor of many players.

"What should I call you? No need to be so polite, everyone. Just call me Xiao Li."

"Strategy guide? I really don't have a strategy guide, bro. To be honest, even a dog wouldn't want the ticket for the 'Wangxiang Town' dungeon! What strategy guide would I have? Besides, even if I did, I couldn't afford it. If I had money, I would have traded for a ticket long ago, instead of coming to this godforsaken place!"

"Team up? Hehe, that's exactly what I've been waiting for!"

"Listen up, everyone. This dungeon is really dangerous. It's unlikely you'll survive if you go it alone. We need to stick together. Those who want to team up, stay and we can talk in detail."

Before long, this player, who called himself Xiao Li from Zone 001, formed a cooperative relationship with five strangers.

Although it was just a verbal promise, a verbal teammate is still a teammate, and having one is better than having none... Xiao Li thought to himself with satisfaction.

His plan is fine.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.

After the group finished their discussion and entered the town, they suddenly felt a moment of disorientation, and then an instinct... or rather, an awareness—that they knew where their home was.

Fan Xiao and his group also encountered this situation.

As I walked, I suddenly felt like I had a home.

Now I know which road to take to get home.

The guess came true—they do indeed have roles in this instance.

"Your expressions... it seems I'm not the only one who's encountered this."

Du Ruo sighed, "We need to split up and act separately from now on."

“It’s not evening yet,” Boss Huang said. “We don’t need to split up now. We can scout out the situation together first.”

"No, it's best to separate now."

Lu Xining pointed to the chimney of a house not far away, where white smoke was rising.

She cautioned, "It should be dinnertime now. Since we have defined roles, it would be best to go home for dinner. We don't know what the situation is with our 'parents' yet, so it's best to play it safe."

“That’s what I mean too,” Du Ruo said. “Let’s go back to our respective ‘homes’ first. If the situation allows, we’ll meet up here. If not, we’ll see how things go.”

"I'll go this way."

Fan Xiao then pointed to his left: "If nothing else happens, see you later."

Others nodded.

“Take this,” Liu Xue tossed Fan Xiao a small marble: “The smaller beads of the mother-and-child bead set can sense each other’s position and direction.”

After saying that, she took out five marbles and threw one to each of the remaining five people.

This town isn't too big or too small, and with the help of this prop, everyone will be able to find each other after they separate.

It can be considered a kind of insurance.

And so, the group of seven parted ways in the outer area.

Fan Xiao walked to the left, but after a few steps, he heard footsteps approaching from behind.

He looked back and saw that it was the player from area 001.

"Brother, wait for me."

The other person caught up with Fan Xiao and struck up a conversation, asking, "Brother, which division are you from?"

“004.” Fan Xiao grinned.

"Uh..." The player who called himself Xiao Li's face stiffened: "You...you're not a cannibal player, are you?"

"White name." Fan Xiao showed his player ID: "Looks like you have quite a bit of prejudice against our 004 division?"

"You can't blame me for this. Your 004 division is notorious for producing cannibalistic players. You're always engaging in acts of aggression, killing and setting fires everywhere. You're practically infamous..."

Xiao Li said, "In short, people in our area generally avoid players from Division 004, for fear of getting into trouble."

"How much do you know about Star Memory City?" Fan Xiao asked.

"It's one of the safe zones created by the cannibalistic players in Zone 004. I'm not sure about the others." Xiao Li asked curiously, "Aren't you from Zone 004? Why are you asking me this?"

“He’s from the countryside,” Fan Xiao said. “He hasn’t seen much of the world.”

"Ha ha……"

Xiao Li chuckled twice.

It would be a miracle if he believed that.

This guy is clearly giving random information about his region to try and extract information from him.

It was just a little bit of information, and he didn't care much about it.

Chapter 108 The Strange Townspeople

Xiao Li said to Fan Xiao, "I only know some basic information about Xingyi City. I only know that it is the strongest and most powerful safe zone established by the cannibalistic players in the 004 division, and it is guarded by many B-level players."

"Even in the strongest safe zone, there aren't any A-level players?" Fan Xiao asked.

"Brother, do you think A-level players are as common as cabbages?" Xiao Li said speechlessly.

“I come from the countryside,” Fan Xiao said, “and haven’t seen much of the world.”

"...In short, the only known division with A-level players is our 001 division. Other divisions might have them too, but I haven't heard of them."

Xiao Li said, "Our G08 node is a newly born spacetime node, and it has not yet been fully developed. There are very few A-level players."

"How strong are A-level players?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it, but I often hear rumors that some A-level players wanted by the game company often commit crimes that destroy an entire partition. I guess A-level players have the strength to fight against an entire partition's civilization head-on."

How many A-level players are there in your Zone 001?

"I don't know, this hasn't been announced."

Have you heard of Roman City?

"Of course! That's one of the most famous tourist cities in our 001 district, with the most beautiful flower fields in the entire area. Not only does it attract a constant stream of tourists every year, but it's also a great place to take wedding photos."

Have you ever heard of 'the destruction of a country'?

"I've heard of him. He's one of the three super players of the 'Living Tribunal,' the ultimate wanted criminal who blows up wherever he goes."

"you……"

Fan Xiao unleashed his inquisitive, question-asking mode.

It's rare to encounter such an easy-going player, so he naturally had to ask him some questions.

Midway through their journey, Fan Xiao and Xiao Li passed by a small vegetable field and saw an elderly woman bending over to pick vegetables.
