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

Director Chen quickly reached out to stop them, but the three easily dodged.

Left with no other choice, he could only retreat continuously, summoning a prop door to block the three people's path once again.

Director Chen's eyes turned cold: "Stop! You know I'm the dungeon boss, yet you still dare to be so insolent? Don't force me to take action! I've killed players before."

“Threats won’t intimidate us,” Fan Xiao shrugged. “As long as we don’t attack you, you can’t do anything to us, right? So… why should we listen to you?”

"..." Director Chen frowned and asked, "What exactly is your purpose?"

“Let’s go in and take a look,” Lu Xining said. “As long as you don’t stop us, we’ll stay peaceful and won’t cause any trouble.”

"This place is important to you, isn't it?"

Lu Baizhi also threatened, "If you stop us again, we'll... we'll destroy this place with the props!"

"...There's nothing here that you players should be concerned about."

Director Chen frowned.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally sighed softly: "I'm just doing some research here. You can go in and take a look, but don't damage the facilities inside. As long as you can guarantee that, I can let you in."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao cast a strange look at Director Chen.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You're the dungeon boss, don't you know what our second dungeon quest is?"

"Even the dungeon boss does not have access to all dungeons."

Director Chen shook his head: "Sometimes the game gives players missions I don't know about; this happens frequently. You didn't receive a mission to sabotage my place, did you?"

"No, our mission is to investigate the truth behind the instance."

After answering, Fan Xiao asked curiously, "Did you set up that task of collecting 10 badges?"

"Yes."

"You set the rule that we can't attack, did you?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you make some rules that are more advantageous to yourself, such as... we can't attack you, but you can attack us?"

"Setting dungeon rules isn't so arbitrary. If the game doesn't approve of them, it's useless even if you set them."

"How did you manage to turn this zoo into a game instance?"

"The creation of the dungeon is not something I can decide. I just happened to become the dungeon holder because of my close connection with this place."

Director Chen shook his head: "I know what you want to ask, but don't waste your time. I want to know the information you want to know as well."

"Ok."

Judging from his expression, Fan Xiao knew he wouldn't get any more information about the dungeon.

He simply said, "Move the door away, we'll go in, take a look around, and then come out. Otherwise, we'll cause trouble, and you won't be able to stop us."

Director Chen frowned.

However, they eventually put the prop door away.

Fan Xiao remained silent and walked along the corridor with the Lu Xining sisters.

As he passed a laboratory separated by reinforced glass, looking at the bottles and jars inside, he asked Director Chen, "Are those the sanity-restoring potions you developed?"

"you……"

Upon hearing this question, Director Chen's face showed obvious surprise: "You even know this?"

"Our mission is to uncover the truth. Now that we've come this far, we can't be without progress."

Lu Xining said bluntly, "We have investigated everything you did in the past."

"What, you have the guts to use children from orphanages for experiments, killing so many people, but you don't have the guts to let anyone know?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Director Chen said, "You outsiders haven't experienced what happened before, so your views are very one-sided. You have no right to make any comments about the institute's past!"

"You mean, players in this world can?"

Fan Xiao said, "You players from this world stormed the research institute, stole the failed potions, and then used them on your family, turning them all into monsters, just like what you did to the children in the orphanage."

"That's their assessment. Do you...accept it?"

"They're a bunch of lunatics!"

"A bunch of irrational idiots!"

"A bunch of pigs who only know how to vent their desires!"

Director Chen suddenly started cursing.

He argued in his own defense, saying, "I'm not some kind of serial killer, why should I pick on those children in the orphanage?"

"We sacrificed those children for experiments to accomplish a great cause, to make the world a better place, not out of my own selfish desires."

"But what did those players do? To satisfy their own desires, they killed researchers, stole potions, and went around harming people, dragging in a lot of people who had nothing to do with this. They're a bunch of lunatics!"

"If you think they're crazy, why did you go and provoke them?"

Fan Xiao said, "You can use your own family members as test subjects. That way, even if it gets exposed later, the players won't be so bored as to act as moral guardians and specifically come after you. Don't you think so?"

Principal Chen: "..."

"There's no need to put yourself in a high and mighty position."

Fan Xiao said in a flat tone, "We won't think much of you because of that."

"...If you want to watch, then hurry up and watch. Once you're done, get out of here."

Director Chen urged.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao stopped mocking him and focused on searching for the children's remains.

After searching all the rooms, he did see some human bones, but when he asked Director Chen, he was told that they were all player remains.

There are no more "children" left in this research institute.

Knowing this, Fan, Xiao, and the other two did not delay any longer and returned to the cave entrance leading to the surface.

Director Chen stayed behind, continuing his research and dreaming that one day all his loved ones would recover.

This dilapidated underground research institute seemed to have become his tomb.

Chapter 87 D-Rank Player

Fan Xiao manipulated the Blood Blade to make the opening leading to the surface even larger.

Large enough to accommodate nylon bags filled with human remains.

Then he activated the "Dustless Shield" to generate a repulsive force, and together with the Lu Xining sisters, three bags of bones, and some scattered bones, returned to the small house at the entrance of the zoo.

Bang! The repulsive force of the "Dustless Shield" increased, directly knocking off the wooden door of the small house, and part of the wooden walls were also shattered.

Through the large hole, he moved all the remains outside.

It is the middle of the night.

The light from inside the cabin shone through the square window, dispelling some of the darkness.

"Should we get rid of Director Chen?"

Looking at the three bulging bags, Lu Xining said, "This can be considered revenge for these dead children."

“You’re so violent,” Fan Xiao said.

"...I only made the suggestion to take care of your feelings." Lu Xining said stubbornly, "If you don't care, then I naturally care even less."

"We must not harm Director Chen before the dungeon ends. After the dungeon ends, we are not D-level players and cannot stay."

Fan Xiao shook his head: "Besides, what will happen to the animals in this zoo after we get rid of Director Chen? Will they just fend for themselves? They need Director Chen's care."

"Reality is truly disheartening..."

Lu Baizhi's tone carried a hint of sorrow.

Fan Xiao tapped her head with his index finger knuckle.

"Hmm..." Lu Baizhi covered her head with her hand and looked over in confusion.

“Don’t overthink it,” Fan Xiao cautioned. “We are just witnesses, not history itself. Don’t get caught up in it.”

"History... The birth of the J4 serum was indeed a historic event."

Looking at the three large bags of remains, Lu Xining sighed, "These children were the driving force of history, but also the dust of history."

"You two are truly worthy of being called sisters."

Fan Xiao complained, "I told you not to get so sentimental."

"I was just expressing my feelings!"

Lu Xining was a little dissatisfied, but didn't say anything. She changed the subject and asked, "Do you think there are any J4 potions left in this dungeon?"

"Even if they existed, Director Chen hid them."

Fan Xiao replied, "I don't think this thing is anything rare. There must be people in the partitions or time nodes ahead of us who are studying this thing."

"Perhaps in some well-developed world zones, J4 potions are just like ordinary goods in a store, which can be bought and sold at will, and ordinary people can freely choose whether or not to become players."

"Therefore, there is no need to deliberately pursue it. You will encounter it sooner or later after you upgrade to a D-level player."

"Can ordinary people freely choose whether or not to become a player's division..."

After muttering something to herself, Lu Baizhi said, "The number of players in this kind of zone is probably beyond imagination. Could it be considered a player society?"

“That’s not necessarily true,” Fan Xiao said. “Becoming a player is a very dangerous thing; people can really die. Even if the opportunity is presented to you, I imagine very few people would dare to seize it.”

"Those who lack the power to control their own destiny will only die faster!"

Lu Xining said.

"I didn't realize this girl was so immature..." Fan Xiao said. "Maybe. But not everyone has the courage to face life and death."

Becoming a player involves both benefits and risks.

The benefits naturally include talents, tools, evolution potions, and other advantages that can make a person a superhuman.

The risk is that you may face life-threatening situations due to dungeons at any time.

"Let's talk about the unrelated topics after we finish our business."

Fan Xiao picked up a bag of bones and said to the two sisters, "Let's take the bones out of the zoo first and see if our guess is right."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xining and Lu Baizhi each carried a bag of bones.

The three of them walked towards the main entrance of Xingyi City Zoo next door.

The moment I stepped out the door, the player panel popped up, and a game notification appeared.
