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

“Master, it’s like this,” Xiao Zhen replied. “Ao Cong once took Xiao Zhen to investigate the place where Teacher Tina fought. There are records of past battles there, and they were not hidden or blocked, so Xiao Zhen was able to find them. Xiao Zhen guesses that Teacher Tina probably disdained to block information.”

It did indeed detect it back then.

But not only did it not tell Ao Cong, it also chose to deliberately obscure the answer... which can be described as quite sneaky.

Unfortunately, by sheer chance, Ao Cong still managed to guess that the battle there was related to the destruction of the country, and he evacuated the investigation team at lightning speed... You could say he was as shrewd as an old fox.

Fan Xiao asked curiously, "Besides this A-level psionic ability, does Tina have any other A-level psionic abilities?"

"Judging from the many rumors left by Teacher Tina at the earlier points, it definitely exists. Moreover, 'Infinite Zero' is most likely a basic attack skill that Teacher Tina usually uses to clear the field, which is equivalent to your 'Strong Person Appraisal Technique'. Teacher Tina's title of 'Nation Destroyer' most likely comes from this spiritual energy - its destructive range is too exaggerated!"

Xiao Zhen replied, "Teacher Tina's main ability, judging from those rumors, is most likely related to the concept of fate, and its attributes are compatible with the S-rank item 'Wheel of Fate'."

"For super players, it is important to match the attributes of S-level items. The combination of the two can push the power of miracles to a new level."

"So, when looking for S-rank items, it's best to find ones that match your own spiritual energy?" Fan Xiao asked.

"...Master, you jest. Every time an S-rank item appears, it causes a bloodbath, with countless high-level players vying for it." Xiao Zhen replied, "Its rarity is unparalleled in the evolution game. Obtaining even one is an immense stroke of luck, let alone choosing one."

Then it suddenly took a turn: "Of course, that's for other players. For you, Master, it's the other way around. If an S-rank item can win your favor, it's a blessing it has earned for eight lifetimes! You can choose whatever you want, Master. S-rank items with unsuitable attributes are not only undesirable to you, Master, but even Xiao Zhen wouldn't want them!"

Damn it! This mere super A prop has made them so arrogant just to curry favor.

Fan Xiao lowered his voice and said sternly, "No matter how many nice things you say, it can't change the fact that you've kept so much information from me. Xiao Zhen, you're not being honest."

What a snob prop!

Before he gained the power of "pseudo-invincibility", this guy didn't mention any information about Tina.

Now that he's brought it up on his own initiative, he probably wants to demonstrate his value.

Demonstrating value requires certain objectives!

“Master! You never asked Xiaozhen before.”

While explaining herself with a pitiful expression, Xiao Zhen kept flattering him.

After flattering him, it changed the subject and said, "By the way, Master, there's something else I'd like to add to your question."

"While there is an upper limit to fusing low-level items into high-level items—that is, grade A—there are not many restrictions on absorbing and fusing low-level items with high-level items."

"For example, Xiao Zhen can actually fuse with many A-grade items of the same attribute to upgrade her function to a higher level."

“Heh…” Fan Xiao said, “You want me to help you lock in the success rate of absorption and fusion, right? Well… it’s not impossible.”

Xiao Zhen immediately became excited: "Master! Xiao Zhen will definitely work harder to serve you..."

“But it depends on my mood,” Fan Xiao said. “I’m not in a good mood right now, let’s talk about it another time.”

Xiaozhen: "..."

It was the wrong payment after all...

……

Fan Xiao temporarily ignored the cowardly prop who had become depressed.

Although "Truth Overcomes All" was loyal to him and treated him much better than when serving other players, but... this guy is not honest!

They're such opportunists!

The game "Evolution" gave it such a name; I wonder if it was intentionally mocking it?

Want more benefits... let's put Play on hold for a while first.

After giving Xiao Zhen a dressing down, Fan Xiao then tested the "King of Daydreams" technique.

He frantically activated the "Flesh and Blood Ancestor" to regenerate blood, continuously injecting it into the blood consumed after the item was activated—soon, a space the size of a football field was materialized in his imagination.

Next, imagine compressing space into a designated object, and then materialize this idea—the phenomenon of space compression exists in nature, so this idea does not violate nature and can therefore be realized.

Soon, a silver ring containing a space the size of a football field was created.

Fan Xiao then began designing a way to trigger the spatial storage—the space would open upon contact with his spiritual energy.

Of course, this is not yet a success—because this space is only temporarily manifested and will dissolve back into the world after a while.

He also needs to solidify it permanently.

So he began to inject blood continuously.

For the "King of Imagination" item, blood is equivalent to the "magic power" that activates the illusion magic.

Midway through, Fan Xiao felt the frantically operating "Flesh and Blood Ancestor" draining his mental energy.

He then launched the "Four Worlds Idea".

This continued for quite a while, and after consuming more than a dozen of his own level's worth of spiritual reserves, he finally permanently solidified the "Space Storage Silver Ring".

"Phew... that was really tough."

Fan Xiao reached out and wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead, putting on an act to the extreme.

After four busy days, I finally obtained a decent A-grade item.

Of course, his gains over these four days were not limited to props.

Besides the spiritual limit and evolution rate, there is also... the number of souls that the reincarnation system can accommodate.

In the past few days, he has absorbed the souls of more than a thousand people—the number of natural deaths in a large city over four days.

The amount of souls that his spiritual energy can hold is not calculated in specific numbers; more accurately, it should be described as the "total amount that the spiritual origin can accommodate."

Assuming that an E-level player's spiritual essence is dozens of times stronger than that of an ordinary person, then absorbing the soul of one E-level player and absorbing the souls of dozens of ordinary humans occupy the same amount of "spiritual energy capacity".

Therefore, the claim that "absorbing players' souls grants greater power" is false.

The only drawback to absorbing the souls of ordinary people is that it slightly affects the function of "summoning subordinate souls to fight".

In a group fight, the more high-quality souls the better. If ordinary people take up too much "spiritual energy," the number of high-quality souls that can be accommodated will decrease.

Fan Xiao was indifferent to this.

After all... with his strength, calling people out to help him fight a group battle is meaningless unless he can absorb the soul of an A-level psychic—he will reserve enough "psychic energy" for that possibility.

As for the souls he had already absorbed, he did not intend to release them.

Releasing it means... returning to death, vanishing without a trace.

This is a classic case of discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose!

People were living perfectly well within his world, and suddenly they were thrown out like trash... He's not that realistic.

Instead of simplifying this aspect, it would be better to honestly increase the mental limit and obtain a higher "psychic energy amount".

……

"Xi Ning, take these silver rings and distribute them to the other members of Whale Fall."

Fan Xiao gave all the space storage silver rings he created afterward to Lu Xining.

This can also be considered a benefit for the organization's members.

"So...this is why you asked us for a wisp of spiritual energy?"

Lu Xining looked at the ring in her hand with curiosity.

When she touched it with her mental power, one of the rings reacted—through this ring, she saw a space the size of a football field.

"A non-game item like the 'Blood Armor'?" she asked.

“Yes,” Fan Xiao nodded, “You should carry it with you when you enter dungeons from now on. Unlike game items, it won’t have its usage restricted, and it can provide a lot of help.”

"I have one too..."

"I've said it before, even if you have A-grade psionic power, you can't be reckless. You can use it as a disguise for your psionic power, and you need to know how to conceal your strength in dungeons."

Fan Xiao offered a reminder.

Then he asked about something else: "By the way, is there any news from the Holy Maiden?"

“No, we haven’t received any contact from her.” Lu Xining replied, “You haven’t received it either? You’re the one who asked her to help gather props, so she should have sent you the first reply she could have given you.”

"That's why I came to ask you guys. It's because she didn't reply."

Fan Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that we've entered a dungeon...?"

He sent a message to the saint through the badge of justice, requesting her help in collecting items, but has not received any reply so far.

Lu Xining didn't receive any news either.

Yan Keke also said no...

The only possibility is running a dungeon.

Surely nothing else can go wrong?

Although the saintess's strength is not that great, she does have a "future vision" gadget!

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have encountered any danger—because if there were any danger she couldn't handle, she would definitely have sensed it in advance, then run to the fairy tale kingdom, and find Yan Keke to help her.

That guy's really shrewd.

"No... Habitual thinking is not advisable."

Fan Xiao suddenly overturned his own idea.

Anyway, getting to partition 001 is easy, so I'll just go and take a look.

After making the decision, he contacted Fairy Tale Town and prepared to use luck to directly lock the landing point of the dungeon door.

Just then, Yan Ke teleported to his side using her instance privileges.

"Brother Fan, it seems something unexpected has happened to Xiaoying and Sister Saintess."

After completing the transfer, Yan Keke immediately informed Fan Xiao, "Xiao Ying just came over and told me that the Holy Maiden has gone missing."

"…Sakura?"

"Ah...it's Sakura-neechan."

Yan Keke realized that she had been led astray by Fan Xiao and had also started calling on Xiao Ying.

Fan Xiao then took out a coin and tossed it into the air.

He decided to play it safe and first test the waters—whether the disappearance of the saintess was related to Dr. Zhuang.

The coin landed, tails up.

The prediction is... it has nothing to do with Dr. Zhuang.

He picked up the coin, cleared his mental energy a second time to convert it into luck, and tossed it up again.

Is the saintess in any danger now?

The coin fell, bounced a few times on the ground, and then, with a very low probability, landed upright in place.

Fan Xiao: "..."

Ah this...

"Brother Fan, what... does this mean?"

Yan Keke stared at the upright coin, somewhat bewildered.

She guessed that Fan Xiao was using luck to determine something, but... what's with this standing up?

“I divined the saintess’s fate, and this situation should mean that she is both in danger and not in danger,” Fan Xiao explained.

It would have been better if she hadn't explained; the explanation only made Yan Keke's mind more confused.

So is it dangerous or not?

Fan Xiao patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle this."

Partition 002.

Wade took a live chicken with its feet tied from the boss, held it in his hand, and looked it over a few times.

After finding nothing wrong, he quickly paid the bill and carried the chicken home.
