Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"Alright, Sister Pei said she's all good and will be here in a bit."

Shen Yu refocused his gaze on Xu Tong, suddenly noticing someone standing next to him.

"What are you doing here?"

The two could be considered acquaintances, after all, they had "worked together" to reach the second round during the All-People Dungeon event. Even if they weren't familiar, they weren't strangers either.

Lan Fu giggled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if I could join you guys. I don't have much to do lately."

Shen Yu didn't think much of it. With his brainpower, he probably couldn't come up with any deeper reasons.

"Sure, you can come along. As long as Xu Tong is okay with it."

Xu Tong: "Aren't you the one treating? As long as you're okay with it."

Shen Yu patted his chest, "Don't worry, I can afford this little bit of money. No need to worry."

Hearing this, Xu Tong looked at Shen Yu with a strange expression.

"Are you doing a side job outside?"

Shen Yu shook his head, "No, the Bureau of Countermeasures is paying me. Brother Bao is really good to me."

What?

Shen Yu actually has a salary?!

Xu Tong seemed to have heard something unbelievable, his eyes widening, "How come I don't have a salary! This is blatant exploitation!"

"That's too bad. Why don't you come to our Bureau of Countermeasures? I'll ask Brother Bao to give you a salary, how about it?"

Xu Tong was about to agree in the next second, but Pei Wen Yu popped out of nowhere and knocked Shen Yu on the head.

"You're being too presumptuous. Such personnel transfers aren't something Bao Yang can decide. You have to ask the higher-ups of the North District Bureau of Countermeasures for their consent."

Shen Yu waved his hand, "Wasn't I just testing the waters? Some bottom lines are tested. If you don't test, how will you know the result?"

Amidst the idle chatter, the group walked out of the Bureau of Countermeasures, led by Shen Yu.

They actually arrived at a Haidilao hot pot restaurant.

Xu Tong: "You called everyone out just for this?"

Sitting down in the booth, Shen Yu said seriously, "Actually, eating is just a small matter. The main thing is, I want to talk to you guys about some more important things that only the higher-ups of the Bureau of Countermeasures know about."

Pei Wen Yu didn't seem interested in this news, or rather, she wasn't interested in many things to begin with.

Xu Tong wasn't really interested either, because he already roughly knew the final result.

Since the result was already fixed, it didn't matter what the process would be like.

Only Lan Fu showed a more concerned expression, asking Shen Yu, "What is it? Tell me about it?"

Shen Yu said, "You guys should still remember, right? This time's National Competition Dungeon seems to randomly select a few players from each country to participate in this dungeon."

Shen Yu should have only told Xu Tong and Pei Wen Yu this news, but neither of them reacted.

Only Lan Fu, who didn't know about this, nodded, showing an expression of already knowing, and said, "Yeah, I know about this. Then what?"

Shen Yu's expression was a little strange, but when he thought that Lan Fu was also one of the players who made it to the second round, she must have some special skills, so he didn't think too much about it.

"It's said to be random, but it's not completely random. There are some factors that influence the selected players."

"For example, some of the more outstanding players within the same level of strength."

"The number of dungeons cleared, the quality of dungeons cleared, and their own combat power coefficient, these may all be taken into consideration. Therefore, the Bureau of Countermeasures is recommending the players who are most likely to participate in the National Competition Dungeon."

Shen Yu said, "My and Sister Pei's names are definitely on the list, and there are also some more outstanding players, but I don't know much about them."

"But… Xu Tong, your name doesn't seem to be on the list. I don't know why."

He frowned, "In my impression, there were quite a few people within the Bureau of Countermeasures who recommended you. At least Wang Qi can be considered one."

"But when it came to counting the votes, you didn't have a single vote."

Xu Tong's gaze fell on Lan Fu.

Lan Fu skillfully avoided his gaze, seemingly wanting to prove that she had nothing to do with this.

"It doesn't matter, it's not important whether I'm nominated or not," Xu Tong pulled out a piece of mutton from the pot with his chopsticks, "Anyway, the final result will definitely be similar."

Shen Yu and Pei Wen Yu exchanged glances, but didn't say anything.

"There's also a more important thing," Shen Yu said in a deep voice, "The foreign Bureaus of Countermeasures also have similar activities, voting to select some players who are likely to participate in the National Competition Dungeon."

Lan Fu showed a very interested expression, "Tell me about it? Let's see if I know anyone?"

"Actually, the players recommended by foreign countries aren't important. Only the so-called top ten global players' recommended candidates can arouse a little interest. But there's one thing that surprised our Bureau of Countermeasures."

Pei Wen Yu finally raised her head, "I think I know what you're going to say. Zhuang Jiasheng just talked to me about this today."

Shen Yu said, "Some of the top foreign players recommended our people."

"The names mentioned include mine, Sister Pei's, Wang Qi, Yan Yichen, and even the name of Miss Lan Fu next to us was mentioned."

Shen Yu's gaze fell on Xu Tong again, "They also mentioned a player whose name they didn't know, but they were very confident that he would be selected."

"That's you, Xu Tong."

Xu Tong could guess that after the All-People Dungeon ended, some of his deeds would definitely be revealed by these top players.

But he really didn't expect that these people would only mention this so late.

It seems that foreign countries are still too relaxed, without any sense of urgency.

"Okay, I understand."

Xu Tong's response was also a bit bland, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.

Xu Tong has too many things to be busy with now, and doesn't have the mind to care about a group of small characters "occupying the mountain as kings" playing their solo acts.

Whether it's the Abyss World's erosion of the real world, the revival of the Outer Gods, Dibage's invasion of reality, or the giant projector above his head, and the Material Dominator who makes him feel a little uneasy.

There are too many things entangled with Xu Tong.

As for those so-called top ten global strongest players or top players, in Xu Tong's mind, they are no different from non-existent.

Anyway, if he really has any entanglement with the Abyss World, the Ancient Gods, or the Outer Gods, this group of people will not be of any use.

It's better to take care of his own affairs. Anyway, most of the situations now have the Outer God proxies arranged for him.

Even this so-called National Competition Dungeon.

Must be the work of these Outer God proxies.
