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

"Did you find out about you?" Fan Xiao asked.

The saintess shook her head: "No. With the information provided by 'Knowing Destiny,' as long as things are handled properly, it will be difficult for them to pinpoint me. This is my private matter, and I don't want others to know, so..."

"So you frequently used 'Knowing Your Fate' to obtain future information and avoid risks, trying to extricate yourself from the situation, but... in the process of trying to extricate yourself, your vision went to zero?"

Fan Xiao added the rest of what the saintess had said.

The saintess lowered her head slightly, and her expression... had the feel of a child being scolded for doing something wrong.

“I’m sorry, darling…” she said sincerely, “I really didn’t want anyone to know about this private matter.”

“Xiaoying is very worried about you,” Fan Xiao said. “You shouldn’t have avoided her. But… I can’t blame you.”

He shook his head: "Emotions control people's behavior. I understand that feeling of not wanting anyone to know about your past. Fortunately... nothing bad happened."

He paused for a moment, then reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Duke Kane's matter for you once we get out. He won't have any objections."

"You're so reliable, darling," the saintess chuckled softly. "It makes me want to reward you. What should I reward you with..."

Fan Xiao did not reply.

A sudden silence descended.

A few seconds later, the saintess called out, "Darling?"

no respond.

Seeing this, the saintess tensed up quickly and called out to Fan Xiao again.

Seeing that there was still no response, her nervousness quickly showed on her face.

At this moment, Fan Xiao spoke up: "I'm here. Your mental state is still quite fragile. No wonder I didn't receive the mission completion notification."

The main objective of the second instance mission is to perfect the saintess's mindset.

Her mental deficiencies lie mainly in two aspects: past frustrations and future anxieties.

Now, the "past frustration" should be considered resolved, after all, the Holy Maiden has even started to engage in "verbal sparring" with him. Being so lively, it seems that he has already adjusted some of his mindset based on Lucia's feedback.

In other words... her anxiety about the future hasn't been resolved yet?

Hmm... judging from her condition, it doesn't seem like the problem is solved.

"Darling, don't do anything bad all of a sudden..." the saintess complained softly, "If you leave now, I'll really be in big trouble... I'm not kidding."

"Is there any way to restore your eyesight?" Fan Xiao asked.

"Vision... as far as I know, there's no way to restore vision at the conceptual level." The saintess gently shook her head: "Perhaps a healing-type super A-grade item can restore the concept of vision to me."

"The vision granted to the conceptual body..." Fan Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Gardenia's spiritual energy should be able to do it. However... with her current mental strength, she probably can't use her spiritual energy yet. Once she becomes an A-level player, it will probably be possible."

Lu Baizhi's "dualistic theory of good and evil" is a top-tier A-level spiritual energy.

This psychic power can heal conceptual injuries, remove conceptual curses, and so on.

After all, simply assigning the concept of vision does not create a new concept, but rather restores the original concept to its original state of existence—the concept level also follows the law of conservation.

That is, it can only change the state of existence of a concept, but cannot directly destroy the concept to "nothingness".

Because "destruction" itself is just a concept, existing alongside other concepts in the "metaphysical" realm.

Of all the beings capable of completely destroying concepts, Fan Xiao has only ever seen one: the Angel of Death.

Considering the unique nature of S-class psionic energy, perhaps only the Angels of Death can achieve this, making it one of the signature functions of the "Twin Angels".

"That little girl... has such an enviable talent."

The saintess murmured a sigh.

She looked very relaxed.

However... Fan Xiao still did not receive a notification that the mission was completed.

It seems... the problem isn't with eyesight.

Or, to put it another way, vision problems are merely a cause of "past frustration" and have little to do with "future anxiety."

Fan Xiao reviewed the situation in his mind... and soon, he deduced the correct answer.

After Lucia became an evolved being, her eyesight was restored. The reason she chose to use "Knowing Fate" was because of the side effects of the A-level psionic energy "God of Love, Desire, and Beauty".

No... in a way, this isn't really a side effect.

Psychic energy generally has few side effects and is always beneficial to its master—including "quantum immortality." The reason why one is plagued by misfortune when accumulating "world fortune" is entirely because the psychic energy awakening is incomplete and cannot transfer the misfortune away.

If it were a woman who wasn't bound by morality who awakened the saintess's spiritual power, she probably would have taken off like crazy by exploiting others, and would probably be a seasoned A-level player by now.

Morality, which gave the saintess a boost to her spiritual power, has in turn become a constraint.

Psychic powers don't take human morality into account, nor do they offer any kind of exclusive awakening that filters abilities.

A person's ability is what it is, and it is independent of human will.

So... this isn't really a debuff, but rather the essence of psionic power.

To remove this buff, it would probably be necessary to... permanently remove this psionic energy from the saintess.

The Little Angel's original sin of jealousy could be achieved, but Fan Xiao currently lacks the mental strength for that level; temporarily eliminating it would be possible.

No, psionic energy is power, and it helps in clearing dungeons.

To damage one's own combat strength is hardly a rational approach.

Fan Xiao looked at the Holy Maiden and asked, "Is there a way to control the passive effects of your psionic energy? For example, by reducing its power?"

"I've tried many times, but I can only control part of it..."

The saintess sighed softly and began to explain in detail.

The only traits she can control are the first two: "mad love" and "desire for depravity".

Simply put, she can keep people who spend a lot of time with her in a normal state of "love" and "desire," so that they don't go crazy or become distorted over time, or turn into yanderes or degenerates.

As for the initial "love" and "desire" that others feel for her, she cannot eliminate them, because that is the nature of her psychic powers. She can only use the First and Second Commandments to exert reverse mental interference, so that others can maintain a certain level of rationality when facing her, and not so easily... fall in love with her.

However, she cannot control her third ability trait, "Perfect Appearance".

As her mental potential increases, her appearance and physique will become increasingly closer to perfection—this ability characteristic is the foundational characteristic that supports the first two abilities.

Unless she stops increasing her evolution rate altogether, she has no way of avoiding an increasingly beautiful future.

“I never thought that anyone in this world would be bothered by becoming more and more beautiful…” Fan Xiao sighed, “There really are all kinds of psychic powers.”

"Darling, are you saying this just to make fun of me?"

The saintess said in a resentful tone, "I'm really worried about this. There are just too many people in this world who are obsessed with desires, and my psychic powers are a 'passive danger attractor.' I'm afraid there are plenty of people who want to grab me and possess me."

She sighed, "If everyone were like your brother, Darling, I probably wouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing anymore."

"Don't mention that guy, he's incredibly annoying."

Fan Xiao looked at the Holy Maiden and said, "Your current condition is not suitable for you to continue as the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Righteous Cult. Until Zhi Zi becomes an A-level player and has the ability to heal you, you should come with me."

“Let’s act together… Unless you lock me up like a canary, darling, otherwise…” the saintess chuckled softly, “I’ll get you a lot of trouble.”

“You might not believe it, but I’m invincible now,” Fan Xiao said. “The trouble you can cause is probably nothing to me.”

"...It seems you've gained a lot from this journey, Darling," the saintess said.

“It is indeed very big.”

Fan Xiao suddenly brought up a topic: "Weren't you wondering why I asked you if the dungeon would be destroyed and affect your question? Want to know the answer?"

"...I feel like this might be a dangerous answer," the saintess remarked.

“Your intuition is pretty accurate,” Fan Xiao grinned. “The reason I asked you this question is because I’m planning to blow up this instance.”

Saint: "..."

Bombing the dungeon… she immediately thought of the Miss Destroyer.

It really is a continuation of the same lineage.

Wait... Darling can even destroy dungeons now?

So... the dungeon exploded. As a semi-dungeon boss, will she really be safe and sound?

Could something unexpected happen?

The slightly uneasy Saintess quickly heard Fan Xiao continue speaking: "I came in to find you with 'outside intelligence' in mind. Destroying the dungeon can make up for this part of my score loss - that was my original plan."

The saintess grasped the key phrase: "Originally?"

“Yes, originally,” Fan Xiao said, “but now I’ve decided not to blow it up.”

"Why?" the saintess asked.

*Slap*—Fan Xiao's hand landed on the saintess's head, gently stroking her soft, slightly fragrant hair.

He said, "For you."

“You’re too cowardly right now, but it’s not your fault. Your personality, moral values ​​and psionic traits are somewhat at odds with each other, turning what should have been a boost into a burden.”

"As your boss, I naturally have a responsibility to you."

"so……"

He replied, "Let's integrate this instance with my 'Fairy Tale Kingdom'."

"It just so happens that it's also a dungeon with a spiritual attribute, so it meets the conditions for fusion. From now on, you can be the third dungeon boss of the Fairy Tale Kingdom and stay in the dungeon permanently."

"What will you choose? Agree? Or disagree?"

"..."

The saintess remained silent for a while.

Then, she whispered a reminder: "Won't this affect your dungeon rating? If you don't destroy this dungeon, you'll need more attempts to level up."

“Compared to putting your mind at ease, this sacrifice is nothing,” Fan Xiao said. “You don’t need to think so much. Just follow your heart, and I’ll handle the rest. So… give me your answer.”

Upon hearing this, the saintess let out a soft breath.

Then, a breathtaking smile appeared on her lips: "I agree with this suggestion. However... I don't quite agree with what you said, Darling."

She corrected her, "You're not my boss, you're..."

"Don't say anything inappropriate in this situation," Fan Xiao interrupted.

“Darling, I’m serious this time, so… please stop avoiding me.”

Using the "vision" fed back by the sound, the saintess took a step forward, closing the distance between herself and Fan Xiao.

She reached out and grabbed Fan Xiao's hand that was resting on her head, cradling it between her own, and said, "I'm sorry for always teasing you before. Using my knowledge of destiny, I saw many images of you from the future… including…"

Her cheeks flushed slightly: "Including that kind of thing."

"..." Fan Xiao: "Your props are pretty unorthodox too."

"Don't speak yet, let me finish what I have to say."

The saintess continued, "Knowing my destiny has brought me to where I am today. Although I instinctively feel a strong aversion to those images, in the end... I think I will still choose to accept them."

"Because of this relationship, when I first met you, I saw that you were only a D-rank player, so... I thought of playing a trick on you."

"Thoughts determine actions, but actions... can also influence thoughts."

"While repeatedly pretending to be your lover and teasing you, I've found that... I seem to be gradually becoming less averse to those fragmented images of the future, but... your reaction to my teasing is too indifferent, which makes me a little annoyed."

"..." Fan Xiao didn't speak.

“Because I was a little annoyed, I couldn’t take the next step and stayed stuck in the same place.” The saintess said, “No, I should say… I stopped talking about it.”

She released Fan Xiao's hand, took another step forward, hugged him tightly, and continued, "Now, I don't intend to just keep talking about it."

"Is this what you call a confession?" Fan Xiao complained. "You've gotten bolder since you can't see, you're even daring to touch me now."

"I've told you before, stop avoiding me. I'm really serious this time."

The saintess's smile faded slightly, and a serious expression appeared on her face: "This is a confession, but... I don't care whether you accept or not."

"Anyway, from today onwards, I am Lucia Van."

"Please take good care of me from now on, darling."

After saying that, she buried her head in Fan Xiao's chest, immersed in the throbbing joy and a strong sense of security.

From now on, Fan Xiao will decide her future.
