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

Fan Xiao asked, "How do we get back?"

"During the dungeon's operation, time and space will be closed, but once the dungeon is cleared, the time and space portal that originally pulled us here will reopen, and then we can go back."

Du Ruo replied, "Of course, if you happen to have a ticket for this instance, you can also use the ticket to take the time train back after clearing the instance."

"Clear the game?" Lu Xining suddenly interjected, "There aren't even any dungeon quests yet, how are we supposed to clear it?"

"Dungeon quests require us to actively trigger them."

Du Ruo explained, "Because we were randomly drawn in, rather than using tickets, our positions in the instance are also random."

"Triggering a dungeon quest requires a specific location, usually a fixed location within the dungeon."

"Based on the current situation... I estimate the location is right in the center of the island, near that human town."

“In other words…” Lu Xining guessed, “we might encounter other players.”

"Of course, if the instance doesn't limit the number of players who can participate."

Du Ruo nodded.

Then, he turned his head to look at Fan Xiao, who was staring down at his palm, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

“Ticket,” Fan Xiao replied, “This is an island, and I happen to have a ticket for an island-type instance, which might correspond to this place.”

"It can't be that much of a coincidence," Du Ruo asked. "What station? What copy?"

“Starry Memory Corridor Station, Sacrifice Island,” Fan Xiao replied.

"Starry Memory Corridor Station... It's actually here!" Du Ruo frowned.

Fan Xiao asked, "Is there a problem here?"

"The last D-rank dungeon I played was also at the Star Memory Corridor station. After the dungeon ended, I went to check out the outside world area... In short, it was terrible."

"Is it the one you told me about last time?"

Order is broken, civilization is regressing, high-level players are carving out their own territories, and ordinary people are struggling to survive... Fan Xiao recalled what Du Ruo had said before.

Du Ruo nodded: "That's right."

Fan Xiao said, "Sacrifice Island is an E-rank instance."

“An E-level dungeon… I hope your ticket corresponds to this place.” Du Ruo said with some expectation, “An E-level dungeon is not too difficult. If we work together to clear the dungeon and protect the people’s return, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

"That's not necessarily the case."

It was Lu Xining who voiced the rebuttal.

The little girl didn't seem so optimistic and remained vigilant at all times.

An E-level dungeon is not necessarily of E-level danger.

The best example is the selection of copies.

That dungeon boss, the octopus monster, is not something a novice player can handle. Even several D-level players working together might not be able to defeat it. We'll have to use a trick to get past it.

There might be high-level dangers in low-level dungeons, but the difficulty of the tasks for low-level players is very low, so they don't need to face such dangers directly.

This point cannot be overlooked.

"By the way," Fan Xiao changed the subject, "why were you fighting in the mall in broad daylight? Won't that cause trouble?"

"Sigh, the operation was very secretive, and the arrest plan was also fine."

Du Ruo sighed, "But we underestimated the diversity of game items. It seems that those people have items that can predict danger. Of course, this is just my guess. It could also be items that can show the number of nearby players."

"In short, our covert capture plan failed. The other party had noticed in advance and fled to the mall."

"To prevent them from escaping into the instance, we have no choice but to attack first, since tickets cannot be used while in combat."

"Players' items are indeed hard to defend against."

Fan Xiao understood.

No wonder the battle affected ordinary people.

At that moment, a voice came from the crowd.

Lu Xining frowned and looked behind her.

Fan Xiao and Du Ruo also looked over.

A group of people surrounded Lu Baizhi, chatting amongst themselves, making the young girl a little flustered.

Upon seeing this, Fan Xiao walked straight over.

The ordinary people who saw him approaching all changed their expressions and subconsciously stepped aside to make way for him.

Some people even started to tremble.

Fan Xiao: "..."

Ignoring these people, Fan Xiao walked up to Lu Baizhi and made a "shh" gesture.

The six people surrounding Lu Baizhi immediately fell silent and took a step or two back.

Fan Xiao lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"

"I……"

A middle-aged woman said in a trembling voice, "I have a stomach ailment and would like this young girl to help me treat it."

"I...I have high uric acid, gout, and some weakness in my legs."

“I have a heart condition.”

"I used to work in a factory, and the machine broke my hand..."

Each of the six people stated their demands.

Their tone was somewhat weak, no longer as assertive as they had been in front of Lu Baizhi.

Clearly, everyone was afraid of Fan Xiao's previous ruthlessness and cruelty, and was cowering in fear.

“Um…” Lu Baizhi added to Fan Xiao, “They also asked me if they could use the prop rope I used before, and asked me to let them use it.”

The little girl seemed a bit aggrieved.

Fan Xiao patted her on the shoulder: "I'll talk to them."

“Oh.” Lu Baizhi nodded obediently.

Fan Xiao glanced at the six people in turn and said, "You..."

"It's okay! I'm okay!"

Before Fan Xiao could finish speaking, the middle-aged woman at the front turned pale and quickly retreated into the crowd behind her, not daring to show her face again.

Seeing this, the others were also affected and immediately lost their courage, scrambling to retreat into the crowd.

As if hiding from a monster.

They were terrified that if they retreated too slowly, Fan Xiao would kill them instantly, so they kept saying as they retreated, "My legs are fine for walking, so I won't treat them."

"My heart is actually fine, and I don't need treatment."

"Having only one hand doesn't affect anything..."

Everyone seems to have become more sensible.

In just a few seconds, there was no one in front of Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao: "..."

He actually wanted to resolve the issue calmly...

Chapter 48 I understand, I understand everything.

Fan Xiao looked at Lu Baizhi and asked expressionlessly, "Am I that scary?"

"puff……"

Lu Baizhi couldn't help but laugh: "You're not scary at all, they just don't understand you. Um..."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Baizhi mustered her courage and suggested, "It would be even better if your attack could be a little gentler."

"The attack method is brutal, which is a fixed pattern of the talent itself and cannot be controlled by me."

Fan Xiao shook his head slightly and offered an explanation.

Lu Baizhi stared at his face for a few moments, but did not believe his explanation.

Fan Xiao's talent is probably telekinesis.

If you can precisely control telekinesis to achieve flight, controlling an attack shouldn't be too difficult.

The little girl guessed that whipping corpses was probably Fan Xiao's personal hobby.

"Mmm... I understand, I understand." Lu Baizhi said understandingly, "Everyone has different hobbies, I won't mind, please don't worry."

"..."

Fan Xiao changed the subject, asking, "You just treated quite a few people; how's your mental energy level?"

Talent seems to originate from the player's soul and spirit.

Players consume spirit when using talents, and they cannot use them indefinitely.

After assessing her own condition, Lu Baizhi replied, "It seems... I've used up half of it?"

“Then stop using your talent and stay by my side,” Fan Xiao said. “You’re my employee now. Your talent shouldn’t be used to serve others all the time. Serving me is the right thing to do.”

"Well, I see."

Lu Baizhi nodded solemnly.

She didn't recklessly try to cure everyone's illness.

Using talents consumes mental energy, and mental energy recovers slowly.

Treating the injured is to improve the team's efficiency in advancing.

This will also increase everyone's survival rate, so it's something we have to do.

But some people's pre-existing conditions are not her responsibility.

The two quickly returned to the front of the group.

Lu Xining remained calm and said sarcastically, "I told you before, don't bring anything burdensome. Zhi Zi's healing talent is not a resource that can be wasted at will."

"Only a very small number of people are causing trouble. Most people know what to do. It's not good to generalize from a few cases."

Fan Xiao didn't want to argue about this topic, so he gave a casual reply and then fell silent.

Lu Xining saw through his attitude and didn't say anything more.

The group continued walking in silence.

Thanks to Fan Xiao's memory, he only needed 10 seconds to look down at the island to remember all the details and plan the best route. Along the way, the group only encountered four monsters.

The players in front attacked together, killing each monster before it could even roar.

Compared to when they were selecting the instance, Fan Xiao and the others have improved their strength significantly.

About two hours later, the group passed through the last patch of jungle and arrived at a flat clearing.

The town's outskirts, surrounded by wooden walls, came into view.

The city walls looked very fragile and could not possibly withstand the monster's attack.

Strangely, the city walls were very old, some years old, and there were no monsters living in the area around the town. It seemed that this place had been peaceful and tranquil for many years, like a paradise.

At the same time, Fan Xiao and other players received a game notification—

The "Sacrifice Island" instance is now open.

[Background Information: Rocky Island is an island with an extremely high happiness index among its residents. It boasts a pleasant climate, is famous for its world-renowned, delicious blackfish, and its islanders are warm and hospitable. The gap between rich and poor is minimal, making it an excellent place for immigration.]

But good times are rarely lasting. Monsters appeared on Roki Island without warning, turning the prosperous island into a desolate wasteland overnight, and the islanders scattered and fled.

At this moment, the island god appeared. He accepted the islanders' offerings and drove the monsters away from the town, allowing the town to be preserved and order to be restored.

Under the protection of the island god, Roki Island was restored to its former glory.

Sacrificial activities gradually became more frequent on Roki Island, and the island's original name was forgotten by the islanders; it became a sacrificial island.
