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

"And node D05... this place is home to the most powerful mythical beast family in the entire evolution game - the dragon race, whose strength is still somewhat formidable."

"But to you, master, they are all just trash, not worth mentioning."

"You're just using a prop, how come you're even more arrogant than me..." Fan Xiaoyu thought to himself.

Although the Dragon race of the Mythical Beast species suffered a defeat at node A and slunk away to D to develop, ... just look at who their opponents are, and you'll know that their strength is definitely not weak.

After talking with Xiao Zhen, Fan Xiao said to You Bai, "According to the latest server-wide announcement, the S-level item is no longer in the D07 node 002 partition. Someone is using it to travel between different dimensions between partitions. The battle for it has just begun. We don't need to rush over there for now."

"When the battle reaches its climax and other powerful players have entered the fray, we'll enter and dominate the entire arena, seizing the items with the most arrogant and forceful attitude and suppressing everyone else."

"Doing this will prevent other players from coming to steal the items after we obtain them."

"Boss, just arrange it according to your own ideas."

Youbai smiled gently and asked, "By the way, boss, we came here using dungeon tickets. Should we participate in this dungeon?"

At this point, Youbai had already advanced to an A-level player—she was one of the players who advanced the easiest, aside from A-level psionicists like Lu Baizhi.

This ease was thanks to Fan Xiao's help in awakening her B-level psychic ability, the Pet Paradise.

This psionic ability can permanently transform items into spirit pets to help their master in battle. Although the maximum level is only A-grade items, it has two huge advantages: first, it removes the quantity limit on item slots; second, it removes the restrictions on the use of items in certain dungeons.

When running dungeons, the benefits of this psionic energy for beginners are beyond imagination.

Therefore, she quickly completed the last few dungeon runs and was promoted to A-level player.

Now she and Fan Xiao are both A-level players, so they can go into dungeons together.

Following Fan Xiao through dungeons... Youbai felt a great sense of security.

It's so safe it's almost overflowing.

Youbai felt quite emotional. When they first arrived at node G08, she and the young lady were Fan Xiao's backers.

It hasn't been long, and the positions have completely reversed... It's truly lamentable.

"Dungeon...we'll see."

Fan Xiao didn't rule out any possibility of a definitive answer.

He's currently keeping his luck accumulating, and who knows, he might get caught up in some troublesome events after entering node D05.

Therefore, whether or not it will be possible to safely access the dungeon is uncertain.

Yes, he changed the way he accumulated luck to increase the evolution rate—he changed it to accumulating a little bit each time and then increasing it all at once.

Before this, he didn't want to get involved in trouble, so he wanted to play it safe and develop his strength quickly without wasting time. That's why he used the "save one day and use it one day" approach.

This approach is indeed useful for avoiding trouble, but it's actually a bit of a loss.

Because the more luck you accumulate, the greater the miracles it can bring, using it up prematurely is very inefficient.

He has now returned to normal.

Of course, doing so would undoubtedly bring even greater misfortune, embroiling him in many troubles.

However, Fan Xiao didn't care anymore.

Anyway, he has a lot of free time now and isn't afraid of trouble anymore.

Moreover, the various troubles that come his way make his journey less monotonous and boring.

He mentioned that he had spoken to Youbai about this.

Youbai naturally had nothing to worry about.

Because Van Shaw will handle all the trouble.

At that moment, the train's announcement suddenly came on: "This train is about to arrive at its final destination, D05 station. Passengers who wish to disembark, please prepare in advance."

Shortly after the announcement, the train began to slow down.

A short while later, the train passed through a massive spacetime vortex and entered... a track suspended in the air, and slowly came to a stop next to the floating platform in front.

We've arrived at station D05.

Fan Xiao looked out the car window and saw a... sci-fi city.

Chapter 783 The First Super Player in History

The D-letter node is known as a paradise for Ajin players.

Because there is no discrimination against demi-human players here, the items generated within this letter node are mostly based on mythical beast legends, which is very much in line with the genetic characteristics of demi-human players.

Here, it's possible that human players might face some degree of discrimination in certain situations and regions.

As for cannibalistic players... sorry, they're already universally despised, so what if I discriminate against them? What other opinions do you dare to have?

Node D05, as the dominant node among the D-letter nodes, is even more so a paradise within a paradise of subhumans.

Before the train arrived, Fan Xiao had imagined what it would look like.

Ethnic society?

Or was it a rather unique tribal civilization?

Okay, he admits he's a bit biased and stereotypical.

Ajin players aren't actually ajin; who wasn't human at first?

Anyway, it's unlikely that the social structure will change after evolution.

Moreover, the number of players is negligible compared to the number of ordinary people. Even if high-level demi-human players have a significant impact on society, it is unlikely to develop into a real tribal society.

The social structure should still be pretty normal... That's what Fan Xiao thought.

Then, upon arriving at station D05, his "Eye of Truth" peered out and saw the world around him... He saw a large, futuristic city with a very advanced civilization.

Floating stations and time-space tracks.

Various large and small aircraft.

A tower in the distance connects heaven and earth... that looks like a sky elevator.

There are a large number of satellites in orbit.

Further away, Fan Xiao also saw Dyson hoops suspended outside the star.

As the view zoomed in, skyscrapers of various shapes dotted the city, while colorful neon lights and 3D projection billboards brought vibrant colors to this steel world, making it seem as if it had come alive and filled Fan Xiao's field of vision, giving him a tremendous visual impact.

To put it simply... it's a city straight out of a science fiction movie.

It's the kind of city that only appears in science fiction novels.

Of course, considering the timing of the emergence of node D05, it is quite normal for a civilization and technology of this level to exist.

But... isn't this a little too normal?

It was a near-future level of human civilization, which seemed so ordinary and unremarkable.

So... what about the social structure that's exclusively for Ajin players?

Don't the mythical beast species maintain separate groups and territories?

Well, he still hasn't been able to shake off prejudice and stereotypes.

"Boss, this place... looks so grand. I think I see more than one section... it's abnormally large."

Youbai sighed.

She quickly shook her head and said, "The scenery is just too bad."

“The scenery… each has its own unique characteristics,” Fan Xiao said. “There is indeed more than one district here. Judging from the scale, it should be 10 districts combined into one. The urban area covers all the land, and it seems that some of the physical rules have been changed… This is the first time I’ve seen this. I have to say, it is indeed quite magnificent.”

At this point, he turned his gaze to Youbai and asked with some surprise, "Xiaobai, when you and Xiaoyu went to node G08, you should have passed through here, right? We've seen it twice already, why are you so surprised?"

Upon hearing this, Youbai didn't pay attention to the issue of address, but simply shook her head and said, "Boss, when Miss and I went to node G08, we did not use the Fifth World as a transit point."

“Our C node is in the East Domain, while the F node is in the Northeast Domain, and they are relatively close to each other.”

"Miss and I took the teleportation array directly from the Celestial Realm at Node C to Node F, and then went to Node G. We did not pass through the Fifth World or the Ghost Sea in between."

The Fifth World – this is another name for node D05.

It gets its name from the surname of the dragon race, a mythical beast species that inhabits this area.

Needless to say, "the mysterious sea" refers to node E... This node gives Fan Xiao a Cthulhu-esque atmosphere.

Perhaps this myth was formed from information that flowed from node E.

The "celestial realm" of node C refers to partition 001 of node C04—node C04 is the dominant node.

Fan Xiao had heard You Bai say that an ancient Immortal Emperor was in charge of the Immortal Realm... well, a copy of the Immortal Emperor.

At this point, people began to disembark from the train.

The VIP carriage where Fan Xiao and You Bai were located was filled with passengers who were either relocating or sightseeing. The two of them blended in and left the carriage.

As soon as he arrived on the platform, an android with a human-like appearance came up to him—Fan Xiao's "Eye of Truth" was still open and had not been closed.

Outside each carriage, androids greet passengers and, guided by electronic instruments, select those who meet the criteria for conversation.

"Sir, is this your first time visiting node D05? Our node D05 is different from other nodes. It has a mental network world that connects the entire node. It is called the 'Fifth Divine Realm' and is managed by the unified artificial intelligence 'Final Will'."

“At node D05, everything from identity authentication, online information retrieval, shopping, and financial transactions is done through the ‘Fifth Divine Realm’.”

"To enter the 'Fifth Divine Realm,' one must implant an ether energy chip in their body and connect to the 'Ultimate Will' through the chip, thereby gaining the right to enter the 'Fifth Divine Realm.'"

"Sir, would you like to apply for this service? Our service is completely free. If you would like, there is a chip implantation room over there."

After the android female receptionist finished explaining to Fan Xiao and Youbai, she pointed to a spot not far from the platform—there was a building connected to it… on who knows how many floors. Above the main entrance, a 3D projection billboard emitting a blue halo was floating, displaying information about the implantation of the Ether chip.

Facing the android, Fan Xiao smiled, not treating it differently from a human, and asked in a friendly tone, "Is chip implantation mandatory?"

"It's not mandatory, sir."

The female android replied, "However, our D05 node completely abandoned traditional electronic networks 400 years ago, and the servers in various locations have long been shut down."

“Currently, all virtual interactions within node D05 take place in the ‘Fifth Divine Realm,’ without any exceptions.”

"If you don't have the implanted chip and can't log into the 'Fifth Divine Realm,' life here will be quite inconvenient."

"Understood." Fan Xiao nodded.

Although it's not mandatory, you won't be able to access the internet if you don't install the chip.

If they refuse to accept physical currency here again... tell me if you're just pretending or not.

Fan Xiao asked about this issue and received an unexpected answer... physical currency could be used, and game currency was universally applicable across all nodes without any restrictions.

This disappointed him slightly—he had thought his bad luck was about to begin.

“Take us there,” Fan Xiao said.

"Okay, sir."

The female android responded respectfully and then led the way.

Under his guidance, Fan Xiao and You Bai soon arrived at the door of the chip implantation room.

During this time, Fan Xiao asked Xiao Zhen about the specific situation and received the answer that node D05 did indeed have this rule.

Xiao Zhen arrived at the G08 backward node more than 50 years ago. In other words, the rules of the D05 node have been in operation for at least 50 years.

According to the androids, it has been operating for over four hundred years.

He became curious about this "Fifth Divine Realm".

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhen's database doesn't have much information on this topic. It only records that the Fantasy Dragon race was the most powerful demi-human player race in the early stages of the Evolution Game.

Even the first super player in the history of evolution games was the ancestor of the dragon race. This ancestor also possessed the first S-class item in the history of the game, and was also the first person to condense a "divine spark" as a demi-human player and obtain the title of "Dragon God" - at least that's how history records it on the surface.

And then... this dragon god died.

It is said that in the early days of the Evolution game, when human players and demi-human players were vying for supremacy, he was crippled by the combined forces of the human god-level players. Then, the vengeful game company took advantage of his weakness and killed him—because after becoming a super player, the Dragon God revealed a lot of information that the company wanted to hide to the outside world.

The phenomenon of "the new wave pushing the old wave forward, and the old wave dying on the beach" is not uncommon in evolution games.

Of the earliest batch of super players and god-level players, those who have survived to this day can probably be counted on one hand.

It's not a matter of lifespan; it's simply that as players, we are inherently linked to powerful crises and have access to a multitude of dangerous elements, so... there are almost no players who can die of old age.

"Do you know what an Ether chip is?" Fan Xiao asked Xiao Zhen. "Or rather, what is Ether?"

When he asked the question, he naturally activated the "Void Wind" version of the soundproof barrier.
