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

Although she did need this stage, Fan Xiao's purpose in coming to her was impure and somewhat utilitarian. Asking her to work... she felt like hitting him!

She did all the work, while Fan Xiao just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of her labor?

“It’s a real shame you’re not in business,” Fan Xiaoxiao said.

"Why do you think I haven't done any business?" Fan Xiao said with some emotion, "So far, I've made quite a bit of money from players through dungeons. This fine tradition must continue."

He didn't pretend in front of Fan Xiaoxiao and openly showed himself.

After all, the other person was like him.

Moreover, Fan Xiaoxiao is no good person either; she is adept at deception and murder, and is far more extreme than him!

Even though they weren't particularly close in their second year of university, they were still able to tolerate each other.

"..."

After composing herself, Fan Xiaoxiao said, "Working for you isn't out of the question, but there's a condition—you have to give me a high degree of freedom. If I'm restricted in every way, this stage is meaningless to me."

"I can't give any guarantees on that right now. I can only say that... the boundaries between us need to be defined in practice."

Fan Xiao shook his head: "What perfect plan is there in this world? There are too many variables. I can't bind everything in the future with a single framework."

“You don’t need to say nice things to me,” Fan Xiaoxiao said bluntly. “You just want the veto power, you can just say so.”

"I do want a veto. And an absolute veto!"

Fan Xiao bluntly stated, "Because I think you... while you are very capable, you are a bit too extreme."

"If there are no restrictions, I won't be able to rest easy."

"Although you are no longer my match in terms of strength, but..."

He shook his head and said, "Destruction is easy, but creation is difficult. I'm here to ask for your help, not to fight you."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaoxiao fell silent.

She didn't refute or make excuses.

Because she also knew that her past self was very extreme.

After letting out a soft sigh, Fan Xiaoxiao broke her silence and said, "Tell me your detailed plan first, and I'll see how well it fits with mine."

"For example, what kind of instance do you want to create? What are your designs for the instance rules, structure, operation mode, etc."

"And what about the Whale Fall organization? What kind of development do you envision for it?"

"And what about you... what kind of person do you want to become? And are you content with the status quo, or are you choosing to... strive to become the person you aspire to be?"

These last few questions sound a bit abstract, like a discussion of the philosophy of life.

However, Fan Xiaoxiao asked the question quite seriously.

Ordinary people are busy making a living every day and may not have the time or need to consider these philosophical questions about life, but for people like Fan Xiao, it is necessary to give them direction and principles.

Otherwise, unrestrained, invincible power would be the greatest disaster.

"Well... it's a long story. I hope your Sister Gu takes a long time to take a bath."

Fan Xiao answered the questions one by one.

Fan Xiaoxiao asked the question very seriously, so he answered very seriously as well.

The conversation lasted for nearly half an hour before it came to an end.

After listening, Fan Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then said to Fan Xiao, "If all of what you said can be achieved, I wouldn't mind working for you."

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Fan Xiao said, "I will integrate the other dungeons first, and I will arrange this dungeon last."

"When it's time to merge, I'll have Lily transfer the dungeon access to you first."

"Given the scale of this instance... barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will become the instance boss with the highest authority besides me and Coco... no, this instance also belongs to the original psionic instance. Once merged, your authority level and Coco's will most likely be equal."

"However, Coco doesn't really get involved, and you'll have the final say, that's for sure."

"The veto power is in your hands; no matter how much influence you have, it's useless," Fan Xiaoxiao said.

"..." Fan Xiao said helplessly, "I will not compromise on this point."

“I know,” Fan Xiaoxiao said calmly, “I’m just reminding you not to interfere excessively with my freedom of choice. I…”

She paused, then gently shook her head and said, "I'm not the same person I used to be. If possible, I hope you can trust me a little more."

"Whether or not you should trust someone depends on what they do, not what they say."

Facing "himself," Fan Xiao said without hesitation, "Just like you didn't believe me before, I don't believe you either."

"However... my trust isn't actually that important to you. As long as you don't cause trouble, I won't excessively interfere with your freedom and authority."

"You seem to care so much... could it be that you're harboring some ill intentions?"

"Don't doubt people who are suspicious of you, don't doubt those who are employed."

Fan Xiaoxiao gave a simple reply, without offering any explanation for herself.

She knew Van Shaw had the ability to detect lies—because she did too.

However, this ability is not absolute, and there are ways to circumvent it—such as self-suggestion or temporarily changing one's thinking.

With a little design effort, there are quite a few solutions.

"Don't worry, now that I've come to find you, I don't intend to leave empty-handed."

Fan Xiao said, "Let's leave it at that for now."

"The next time I come to you, it will be to hand over the dungeon access."

"I've noticed you've been traveling these past few days. Why don't you take advantage of the time before I come to see you for the second time to get back into shape?"

"I would do this even without you reminding me."

Fan Xiaoxiao asked, "Is there anything else? If not, please take me home first. My sister is probably getting impatient."

“There is a problem,” Fan Xiao asked, “Why would Gu Hange take a bath in broad daylight?”

"Fan Xiao, if you want me to refrain from saying anything that could easily cause trouble or disputes in front of your 'acquaintances'..."

Fan Xiaoxiao's lips curled up slightly: "Then you'd better treat me better. At least give me the respect I deserve."

"I'm just curious, are you two actually lesbians?" Fan Xiao laughed. "That's what it said when I read your novel."

"..."

Fan Xiaoxiao wrote down Fan Xiao's offensive remarks, intending to return the favor when she had the chance.

She will show Fan Xiao just how terrifying a chaotic situation a woman can create.

After silently bearing the grudge, she replied, "Sister is sister. Can you take me back now?"

"of course."

*Clap*—Fan Xiao clapped his hands.

A spatial fluctuation spread out like ripples on a lake.

The "Shifting Stars" technique was activated, sending Fan Xiaoxiao back to her original hotel.

……

After a brief farewell to Lily, Fan Xiao returned to Division 010 with the white kitten.

During this period, he has focused all his energy and the luck he could generate on the matter of pulling the instance.

In particular, "The Dream of the Four Worlds" would not have reached the 010 zone even in 10 years under normal dungeon travel speed, but under his guidance, it arrived in less than two months.

However... this also prevented him from having the energy to merge the instances he had already docked in partition 010.

Now, Fan Xiao can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's time to start merging dungeons.

He, Yan Keke, and Himuro Rui jointly controlled the B-level dungeon "Fairy Tale Kingdom";

Junior Sister's B-rank dungeon "Mone Tower";

Lucia's B-rank dungeon, "The Perfect Person";

Lu Xining's A-level dungeon "Netherworld";

And... the "Four Worlds of Thought" that will soon become Fan Xiaoxiao's exclusive instance.

A total of five copies.

Two of them are original psionic dungeons.

One of them is a bugged instance.

The remaining two are just to make up the numbers.

In addition, there is the "Mind of Sub-God" obtained from Dr. Zhuang's isomorph.

S-rank dungeons are within reach!!!

Even Fan Xiao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Upon returning to Division 010, he contacted Xiao Yin and Lucia almost immediately—yes, he contacted them personally, without sending his secretary or maid.

Sending the two people behind them... it's a provocation no matter how you look at it.

Silver and Lucia soon arrived at Van Shaw's house.

After the three met, Fan Xiao said directly, "The fusion instance can begin. You all hand over the main authority to me, and let my instance take the lead. Let's get started now."

"Three instances... to be merged together?" Lucia asked. "Is that... possible?"

"Yes, but almost no player can afford to be that extravagant," Fan Xiao explained. "If 'Netherworld' and 'Thoughts of the Four Worlds' weren't A-rank dungeons, which are currently one rank higher than us, we could merge all five dungeons together."

“‘Mone Tower’ is right next to the Fairy Tale Kingdom,” Silver reminded Van Shaw. “We can begin.”

“Mine is right next to Darling’s.”

Lucia smiled, covering her mouth slightly.

There was a sense that there was something ambiguous in her words, but at this moment, Fan Xiao certainly didn't have the mind to dwell on it.

He led the two to the Fairy Tale Kingdom, and then, using the privileges of the dungeon boss, submitted a fusion application—the fusion process was controlled by the evolution game.

At the same time, he took out a large quantity of fantasy material that he had prepared from his spatial ring.

Seeing this, Yin and Lucia also used their privileges to submit applications to the Evolution Game...

……

Half a day later, the three instances were successfully merged.

The Fairy Tale Kingdom has been upgraded to an A-level dungeon!

The Evolution Game sent a message to Fan Xiao, Yan Keke, Himuro Rui, Xiao Yin, and Lucia, urging them to participate in the design of the dungeon game and the decision of its name as soon as possible.

Fan Xiao quickly and simply designed a level-based system, keeping the name "Fairy Tale Kingdom," and then submitted it—it was really very simple, requiring almost no thought, and he didn't even design a single money-grabbing scheme.

Because he didn't expect other players to participate in the dungeon.

Without a moment's joy at gaining control of the newly acquired A-rank dungeon, the one who immediately sought to bring the next dungeon closer to him and provide the conditions for fusion was... Lu Xining.

And so, the fairy tale kingdom and the underworld merged.

The fusion process lasted for a full day and night.

The fairy tale kingdom has officially opened the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld.

Fan Xiao simply designed a set of challenge modes, then left everyone behind and went to the "Four Worlds of Thought" dungeon again.

After catching up briefly with Lily, he asked her to temporarily hand over the "Divine Will Scepter," which served as proof of her status as a dungeon boss.

As a magical girl, Lily's composure was quite adept; she didn't show any reluctance to relinquish her access to the dungeon. In fact... the thought of no longer being tormented by the heart-wrenching matter of "rescuing players" made her quite happy.

However, her happy mood didn't last long before she became depressed, seemingly believing that her behavior was cowardly, timid, and retreating... and therefore shameful.

Fan Xiao comforted her for a while before activating his interdimensional travel privileges and arriving in Fan Xiaoxiao's world.

As before, he can only temporarily serve as the temporary boss of this instance, for a period of only about half an hour.

The permissions must be granted as soon as possible.
