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

the other side.

Xia Li hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and after a moment's thought... in the end, he said nothing.

After Fan Xiao cleared the A-level psionic dungeon with a perfect rating, his strength has undoubtedly increased even further.

The difficulty of A-rank psionic dungeons is equivalent to that of S-rank dungeons.

In other words, if we don't consider achieving a perfect clear, Fan Xiao now can probably treat S-rank dungeons as "daily dungeons".

As long as the corresponding S-level dungeon isn't as ridiculously difficult as those in the Mysterious Sea.

For Fan Xiao, helping Fifth Pupil participate in the selection battle was basically risk-free.

However... this concerns Fan Xiao's information privacy, and the decision must be made by Fan Xiao himself—with this in mind, Xia Li did not overstep his bounds and say anything unnecessary.

It's true that she and Fifth Pupil are good friends, but there are some things she shouldn't say.

Under their gazes, Fan Xiao looked at Fifth Eye, smiled slightly, and asked, "I'm a little curious. From what you've said, the Dragon God Selection Battle involves many forces. Shouldn't the Dragon God be inherited by someone from the Fifth Family?"

This question surprised Fifth Pupil.

However, she quickly realized that Fan Xiao was a player who had just arrived at node D05 and was lagging behind, so it was normal for him not to know this common knowledge—she subconsciously equated Fan Xiao's vision and knowledge with his strength.

Fifth Eye replied, "Mr. Fan has some misunderstanding about how the Fifth Family exists."

"In the early stages of the evolution game, the Fifth Family was indeed a separate group. However, since the family moved to node D05 and the Dragon God's extraordinary genes merged with the entire node... the Fifth Family is no longer a single family."

"Within the D05 node area, anyone whose Dragon God gene awakening level reaches the specified value and who can master and drive ether energy can be given the surname Fifth."

"Apart from other mythical beast families that joined the D05 node later, the local residents of the entire D05 node are basically all descendants of our dragon race."

"The Fifth Family refers to all of humanity at node D05. Hence, this node is known as the Fifth World."

"Is this so..."

Although he had already deduced this conclusion from many details, when he actually heard the "official certification," Fan Xiao couldn't help but sigh... The Dragon Clan has really broadened its horizons!

As long as I don't confine myself to my own family and clan, and open up and share my extraordinary genes... all of humanity is my family!

We are all descendants of the dragon!

But... wouldn't you say that this means humanity has hijacked the entire D05 node?

If everyone awakens the Dragon God gene, wouldn't human players be effectively cut off at this point?

Fan Xiao asked the question and received a negative answer.

Fifth Eye explained that most people's Dragon God gene awakening level is almost negligible—that is, it can only be connected to the level of the ultimate will.

After becoming evolved, these people will not be directly classified as demi-human players; they will still have the right to choose among the three types of players.

Moreover... the genetic abilities brought by the Dragon God gene are extremely powerful, and are regarded as a blessing rather than a curse by all humanity in the D05 node.

Fan Xiao nodded, having no further doubts about the question, and then asked some more detailed questions, such as the Dragon God's status and authority.

To his surprise, although the Dragon God held a supreme position at node D05, he was prohibited by the Pan-Human Federation Central Government from participating in any politically related matters.

The Dragon God is the guardian deity of all mankind and cannot interfere in major events outside of his guardianship duties.

Supreme power has always been in the hands of the ultimate will.

After a pause, Fan Xiao asked his last question: "Why... do you want to become the Dragon God?"

Fan Xiao could understand why various forces would be interested in the Dragon God—the Dragon God represented invincible power, who wouldn't be interested?

However, of the three selection rounds, only the second round of public voting can be manipulated. The other two rounds... according to Fifth Eye, are controlled by the final will and the Dragon God, respectively. This is beyond the control of the major powers and almost completely prevents some people from using the power of the Dragon God to realize their own ambitions.

No, the second round of referendum... has an ultimate governing body, so there's probably no way to manipulate things behind the scenes.

Under these circumstances, the power of the Dragon God can bring few benefits.

Of course, even if it's not much, who would dare to make that bet and let a candidate supported by another force become the Dragon God?

If the Dragon God develops serious selfishness, it could be a huge disaster for the other forces that were not selected.

To be honest, Fan Xiao was quite surprised that the Dragon God's legacy had reached its 32nd generation, yet it had never been touched by anyone's ambition... It has to be said that this three-round selection mechanism is quite something.

These are the reasons why various forces support candidates for the Dragon God election.

So, what is the reason that motivates someone like Fifth Eye, who voluntarily gives up her long life to participate in the selection of the Dragon God, to take action?

Although Fan Xiao wouldn't mind getting involved and watching the excitement—he was quite interested in the Dragon God—he couldn't just become someone else's ally so easily.

"Mr. Fan is curious as to why I would choose something that resembles 'suicide,' right?"

Fifth Eye smiled slightly and explained, "Becoming a Dragon God does not necessarily mean a short lifespan."

"The lifespan of each generation of Dragon Gods depends on the degree to which they awaken, develop, and evolve the Dragon God genes."

"If the Dragon God evolves his extraordinary genes to a new level that surpasses his ancestors during his reign, he will no longer be troubled by the issue of lifespan."

"At that time, the Dragon God will become a true Dragon God, an invincible Dragon God."

"But that's difficult, isn't it?" Fan Xiao said. "The Dragon God has been passed down for 32 generations, but none of them have been able to achieve this... You're counting on this tiny hope?"

"Without the Dragon God, we cannot resist the invasion of 'A'."

Fifth Eye's eyes revealed a hint of determination as he said, "The Dragon God is the guardian deity of all humanity in the Fifth World. The power of the Dragon God must be passed down, protecting us, the descendants of the dragon race, generation after generation, and ensuring the stable and peaceful development of the D-letter node."

There are always some things that are more important than life itself.

Fifth Eye has already made up its mind.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao pondered for a moment, then tossed a coin to confirm one thing—Fifth Eye's reason for wanting to become the Dragon God was incomplete.

Fifth Eye did not lie to him.

There aren't many people who can lie to him now.

But you can create a lie by not telling the whole story... well, he often uses this kind of trick.

The result came out quickly—the coin landed tails up on the back of his hand.

Fan Xiao's lips curled up slightly... "Xiao Tong, I didn't expect you to be such a dishonest person, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes."

Interesting, interesting.

"Mr. Fan, this is..."

Both Fifth Eye and Xia Li were a little puzzled by Fan Xiao's sudden coin toss.

Fan Xiao said with a smile, "I have a habit of leaving some crucial matters to fate and letting fate help me make the choices."

"Is that so... then what choice did fate make for Mr. Fan?"

Fifth Eye asked.

There was anticipation, but also tension.

Fan Xiao took back the coin and said, "I can help you."

"Perfect timing, I came here with a train ticket and need to participate in the instance."

"Since we're all going to participate in dungeons anyway, an S-rank dungeon with guaranteed rewards should offer better prizes."

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

The fifth pupil smiled.

……

The matter was settled.

Fan Xiao decided to skip the ticket instance and go directly to the Dragon God instance.

As for Youbai... Fan Xiao let her make her own choice: whether or not to participate in the ticket copy.

With his lucky charm, it's still very easy for a newbie to clear an A-rank dungeon.

Youbai had just become an A-rank player, and there was still a long time between dungeon runs. Even with the penalty of having her time limit halved, it wouldn't affect anything, so whether she went or not didn't matter. However... she still decided to go.

Because she sensed that Fan Xiao would soon be drawn into a vortex of conflict.

The Dragon God Selection Battle is definitely not that simple.

While her strength, supported by 3B psionic energy and numerous A-grade items, surpasses that of an average A-grade player, it's really just so-so, neither here nor there. She not only fails to help Fan Xiao now, but is more likely to become a burden to him.

If danger arises, Fan Xiao will also have to keep an eye on her safety.

In that case, she might as well stay in the instance first and reunite with Fan Xiao after the event is over.

The operation time of A-level dungeons is usually quite long, which just meets her needs.

She wasn't worried about her safety while participating in the dungeon; Fan Xiao would definitely bless her with luck... It's truly a blessing to have such a good boss.

However, just as Youbai was about to leave alone to participate in the A-level dungeon... her "Fifth God Interface Panel" suddenly popped up!

Fan Xiao and the others also saw their panels pop up immediately, displaying an alarm message from the Final Will, which began to be broadcast in a slightly mechanical, cold female voice: "Attention! Attention! Attention! All citizens and temporary citizens of the Fifth World, please note that 'A' has appeared on the outskirts of Border City No. 47 and launched a surprise attack on the border city. For the safety of the general public, the Final Will has suspended all civilian transportation routes to Border City No. 47."

"The federal government has dispatched troops to intercept 'A'. Until the war is over, all citizens are requested to follow the guides for orderly evacuation of the androids."

"Notice……"

The repeated warning broadcast began.

Fifth Eye suddenly stood up from his seat in the restaurant, his expression changing from composure and joy to extreme seriousness.

Her eyes also revealed a deep sense of anxiety.

Border City No. 47... If Fan Xiao remembered correctly, Fifth Pupil had revealed her identity to the android army during the previous conflict at the train station—she was the deputy commander of the 47th Border Defense Army.

The 47th Army, numbered 47th Border City... It's obvious what the relationship is between the two.

Fan Xiao: "..."

This... shouldn't be a problem caused by his bad luck, right?

“A” would invade node D05 every now and then, which shouldn’t have much to do with him… Fan Xiao silently stopped accumulating luck for the time being.

"The Dragon God Selection Battle is about to begin, and A's activity level has increased!"

Fifth Eye said to Xia Li, Fan Xiao, and You Bai, "I have to rush back to Border City 47 immediately to check the situation."

“Don’t be in such a hurry,” Xia Li comforted her. “You’ve been away from node D05 for quite some time now. The attacks from A have been ongoing, but node D05 has remained unscathed. I suppose this time…”

"No! Border City 47 is different!" Fifth Eye said rapidly, "I must rush back!"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Xia Li's response and directly communicated with the spatial artifacts.

At this moment, Fan Xiao suddenly said, "Leave the journey to me. I have a super A-grade item with spatial attributes, so we can take an unofficial route to the border city."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Eye turned to look at him, her eyes showing slight surprise.

Is this kind of information something that can be casually revealed?

The rarity of Super A items is self-evident, especially Super A items with time-space attributes... Once other S-rank players find out about this, they will definitely come to snatch it!

“No need to worry about it,” Fan Xiao said with a smile. “Business is more important.”

Now he is an understanding and elegant gentleman... mainly because he has become fearless.

If the information were to leak out by accident and an S-class player were to target him, he... could just make some extra money. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"It will definitely take a lot of time to get there using federal military transport... Please."

Fifth Eye cast a sincere look of gratitude at Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao didn't say much, and directly activated "Star Shift" plus the amplification "Heart of the Madman", instantly stacking his spatial transfer ability to the maximum.

The structure of node D05, if viewed according to the plan, can be divided into three parts.

The first part is the Bohai Giant City, which is formed by the fusion of 10 world divisions. It is the very center of the entire Fifth World, and the central government of the Pan-Human Federation is located in the Bohai Giant City, which is also the place where the Dragon God resides.

The second part is the ring city, which is composed of 323 world zones surrounding the Bohai megacity. It gathers the largest population in the entire D05 node and is also the area where most non-dragon fantasy species families gather to build their family strongholds.

The third part is the border defense line, which is constructed from 666 sub-worlds and surrounds the outer perimeter of the central city. It is responsible for protecting the entire D05 node from attacks by external forces.

Border defense cities are the most numerous, but the number of ordinary people living in these 666 sub-worlds is not particularly large, and most areas have an atmosphere of military-civilian integration.

On top of the 666 border cities, a large number of super weapons have been built, which are a mixture of technology, props, etheric energy, and psionic creations. They are the first line of defense specially created by the federal government to resist A.

If the border city is breached, it means that the casualties have been extremely heavy, and at that time, it will be the final will to take action.

If even the will of the ultimate authority can't resolve the situation, then it will be the Dragon God's turn to take action personally.

Fan Xiao never expected that he would run into such a big problem so soon after arriving here. He was actually... well, quite excited.

After the two Super A-grade items were activated, a spatial portal connecting the two worlds was immediately opened.
