Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

The first sentence says, there is no game, no rules, but then it says, this round of the game...

In other words, is this the Shenlu, or is it a copy controlled by the Shenlu server?

Thinking of this, Qin Shang lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"This is a dungeon. It's actually true that there is no game here. No, or rather, this statement is both true and false. What's true is that [Score Monopoly] does not have any game or rules, because it is a main quest. Survive to the seventh day and be alert to the murderer around you. Staying alive is the quest."

"No matter what, the difficulty level of Points Monopoly is the same as that of an S-level copy of a martial artist in the Lawful Realm."

"He differentiated us into roles such as (murderer), civilian, and (detective), seemingly to help us identify the bad guy who might be ready to attack other players in the crowd. However, this is not an essential element to pass the level, but a way to protect yourself."

"So what is the Seven Days Game? The Seven Days Game is an independent single-player dungeon with similar rules, maps, and gameplay to this one. In other words, it's not one dungeon, but... two. If you realize this, then everything that happens in this dungeon can be understood."

Thinking of this, Qin Shang narrowed his eyes even more.

"The evidence is not limited to this. For example, the types of [Score Monopoly] are death-type, multi-human, novice trial, and survival, while [Seven Days Game] is a single-player exploration type."

"The core of [Seven Days Game] is not about killing each other for survival, nor is it about protecting oneself, but... exploration!"

Thinking of this, Qin Shang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"We start by drawing lots to select room numbers, being alert to each other, screening (murderers), separating (detectives), civilians, etc., all of which are just pretexts. These are all tasks for [Score Monopoly]."

"And the real main quest of this dungeon, Seven Days Game, should be hidden among these elements."

"Since this is a dungeon, there must be a main quest, but we just haven't found it. It is precisely because the main quest has not been completed that we have only completed the game, not the dungeon. We are still in the dungeon, so we continue to "reincarnate" this quest."

"I understand! I understand everything..."

"The name of this dungeon is [Score Monopoly]. There is an element in this dungeon, or a special game, similar to the "Trust Game" I played at the end of [Nagato Ghost School]. This game is in the form of a "side quest" for all players to participate in."

"In the quest [Score Monopoly], even if you complete the quest of surviving to the seventh day and protecting yourself, it will still be useless if you don't complete the side quest [Seven Day Game]."

"In other words, the previous rules were all the rules of the "Points Monopoly" instance, for example, every day you survive, your points double, and if the number of players is less than or equal to one, the game ends. However, surviving for seven days is another independent factor. What is involved here is the mission, not just a simple game."

"So when the dungeon name became [Seven Day Game], the difficulty level was lost in my introduction, and it became a single-player exploration type."

"Because the Seven Days Game is an exploration dungeon, but we were immersed in the rules of Points Monopoly and didn't explore this so-called single-player dungeon at all."

"In other words, the Seven Days Game is not between players, but a game where a player explores the castle independently..."

After realizing this, Qin Shang's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

[Seven Days Game] is really similar to the "Trust Game" in [Nagato Ghost School], where the bearded God Eater jumps out and takes everyone to the warehouse, which is a room in the extended map location of the dungeon.

In this way, in fact, all the rules heard in the castle should be briefly divided according to the tone of these two copies.

[Score Monopoly] is a martial artist's lawful dungeon. Its core and tone belong to a multiplayer dungeon, so it must have elements of a multiplayer dungeon, such as assigning players roles such as (murderer), civilian, (detective), etc. These are all elements of a multiplayer dungeon...

But what are the tasks and clues to pass the [Seven Day Game]?

"What? Do you think you have discovered some earth-shattering secret? Let me tell you, this instance cannot be cleared or ended. It will just keep repeating here forever. Perhaps, just like what the player who carved words on the table and was killed by the Lightning King said, this is an endless cycle."

Hearing this, Qin Shang shook his head slightly.

No, there must be a way to pass this level!

The Thunder King and Jiang Qiqi had also entered this dungeon before.

Qin Shang knew this because he knew that he was the King of Thunder and Lightning in the "Second Round" world.

If the Thunder King had not been cleared in the previous "first round", there would have been no major event on the Divine Road in 17 in the outside world!

In other words, Qin Shang can be sure of one thing, if this is "First Round B", or the "Second Round" world in the world view of the Thunder King, it is the world where the Thunder King and Jiang Qiqi met.

Then the Lightning King definitely did not die in the copy!

"The gameplay and rules of the [Seven Days Game] have not been revealed at all, so after completing the main task of [Points Monopoly], players still cannot pass the copy. The main task of Points Monopoly is to survive seven days. I have to find a way to leave clues for this, but how to correctly open the clues and rules of the Seven Days Game..."

Qin Shang narrowed his eyes, anxious.

The rules and settings of [Points Monopoly] kept flashing through his mind like a movie. Qin Shang frantically reviewed the content and clues related to Points Monopoly, the room numbers, hidden hints, everyone's identity, and everyone's occupation in his mind.

A layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. It was impossible that Shenlu did not leave any clues for the players.

Moreover, the Thunder King who had cleared this copy must have experienced one or two reincarnations. Since he discovered that the table was an item with observer attributes, he must have left some clues and key information on the table.

When he thought of this, Qin Shang's brows were twisted into a ball in anxiety.

"The Thunder King is (the murderer), kill him, damn the Thunder King..."

"The King of Thunder is (the murderer), the King of Thunder is (the murderer), but at that time he had changed his name to 'Licking Cockroach Feet'. The purpose of this information is probably to deceive others and tell himself that he has entered this instance more than once. So, is there any other purpose besides this?"

Among the players who entered the dungeon at the same time as the King of Thunder and Lightning at the venue, no one except Jiang Qiqi knew that his former name was the King of Thunder and Lightning.

Even in this copy, there are not many chances to expose the Shenlu ID, so why does he insist on emphasizing this point?

Is there something I don't know, or a clue I haven't discovered?

"According to the rules of the dungeon, as long as the (murderer) is found during the referendum, that person can become a (detective)."

"(Detective), (Detective), (Detective)..."

Qin Shang suddenly muttered to himself and repeated this name several times.

The King of Thunder and Lightning is (the murderer), but there was no player named the King of Thunder and Lightning in the dungeon at that time.

In other words, is he trying to imply that in his future "reincarnation" he cannot become (the murderer)?

What he meant was that if you want to pass the level, you have to become a (detective)...

At a certain moment, Qin Shang's expression suddenly became solemn.

"(detective)!"

"It's the detective. (The detective) is the key to unlocking the main storyline of [Seven Days Game] after completing the multiplayer dungeon mission of [Points Monopoly]."
