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

"Excuse me, what are your names?"

The next moment, Qin Shang showed a harmless smile.

There is no need to be so vigilant towards NPCs. The NPCs Qin Shang has encountered so far basically appear to promote the development of the main storyline, and most of them have no bad intentions.

In other words, except for the second concubine in Nagato Oni School, they basically have no ill will towards the players.

"I'm Zhang Wei, he's Li Kai, and this is Chen Zhuo."

The leading NPC pointed at himself, then at the two people beside him.

The three of them are quite distinctive. One is tall, and the other is short. The first two, Zhang Wei and Li Kai, are both very thin and very recognizable.

The last one is a fat man, Chen Zhuo, who is also recognizable.

Qin Shang remembered the names of these three people at a glance.

The next moment, footsteps approached from behind, and a pair of hands rested on Qin Shang's shoulders.

"Are you okay? Damn! Those three guys just now don't seem to be NPCs. I feel like they were [resurrected] by some unknown force. Are you injured anywhere?"

Halfway through his words, Zheng Gongwei's voice became a little softer.

As if he deliberately didn't want other people to hear, when he said this, his eyes drifted to the right with a bit of wink. Qin Shang looked behind him and saw that "urine is the tears of the bladder". The female reporter and a group of people also followed behind Master Zheng.

The female reporter had a look of surprise on her face. She didn't approach Qin Shang, but instead looked wary.

Qin Shang understood immediately.

Because they were separated for a short while, these people were no longer sure whether they were human or ghost, or "human-like" after being replaced by "shadow", so they were alert, fearing that he was a "shadow" that devoured the player "licking cockroach's jade feet".

In a dungeon, it is understandable to have such vigilance...

If it were Qin Shang himself, if any player left the main group for a period of time, and this person was not going to carry out a solo mission, but was deceived by some unknown ghost thing.

When he appeared in front of him again, Qin Shang also wondered if the other party was in a strange disguise...

but……

Master Zheng deliberately emphasized the word "resurrection" when he said it.

Qin Shang raised his eyebrows and immediately understood.

The female reporter is a pastor?

So Zheng Gongwei suspected that those three guys were created by the female reporter in order to get rid of the famous "licking cockroach's jade feet"?

Thinking of this, Qin Shang smiled, feeling touched in his heart, and he made a simple clarification;

"I'm fine, Boss. It was Shadow who did that, not the other players..."

After saying this, he thought for a moment and glanced towards 'Urine is the teardrop of the bladder';

"Be careful of those traitors, boss. The people around you are not clean!"

When saying this, Qin Shang used the dialect of the soup-making province because the other players were already very close.

The general meaning is to let Zheng Gongwei be careful of the woman in front of him...

Master Zheng was close by, so he could probably understand.

After all, Qin Shang didn't speak Hakka.

"It's time to go to work, lick the cockroach's feet..."

The next moment, the three NPCs who looked like guards glanced at Qin Shang, and the leading NPC Zhang Wei took out a pager.

Qin Shang's cerebellum short-circuited when he saw this thing.

Pager?

BB machine! ?

No, were the security guards in this monastery so well equipped in the 1990s?

Is there still a BB machine?

In that era, talking on the phone for a long time would consume the monthly living expenses of two long-distance college students, and mobile phones generally cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Page machines are a rare commodity.

Not to mention mobile phones, even pagers are not something that ordinary people can afford...

Seeing this, Qin Shang clicked his tongue. He could already feel that Xiu Dao Yuan was indeed hiding a lot of secrets.

Otherwise, if we just hire security guards for this place, why do we need to give them pagers so that the guards can communicate with each other? There is no need for this, right?

After all, this place shouldn't have many tourists at night except during the day...

The purpose of instant messaging is definitely not to reflect good treatment.

It is more likely that danger may occur in this place at any time, so the security personnel need to keep in close contact with each other and add such a pager as a safeguard.

"'Lick the cockroach's feet', we have just discussed sending someone to accompany you on the side quest. We have also asked these three n...your colleagues, and they said that you can have outsiders accompany you during your night shift patrol work. It is not a confidential job. We need to know what you are doing. Of course, in the same way, we will share with you after we have explored certain clues and results!"

"Sending someone to accompany you does have some ill intentions, but I hope you understand that this is for the purpose of information sharing."

"It's also to protect the rest of us. You want to pass this dungeon and survive. We want to do the same. Everyone has the right to survive. If there are clues in your single-player side quest, you definitely can't keep them to yourself!"

The next moment, the female reporter suddenly stepped forward and spoke to Qin Shang indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, the other players on the field all showed fear on their faces.

After all, they couldn't tell whether Qin Shang was a human or a ghost, so they had to send someone to follow him and carry out a solo mission.

If Qin Shang was a "shadow" or some other ghost thing now, he might be killed in a few minutes after the others left...

Therefore, the players on the field instinctively resisted Qin Shang.

Except for Zheng Gongwei, it seems that no one wants to be with him...

She is still curious about my solo side quest!

When Qin Shang heard this, his eyes moved and his mind became clear.

This woman speaks very carefully and holds high the banner of the collective.

If Qin Shang refuses now, he will definitely be hostile to other players.

A multiplayer copy is not a single-player copy. You never know when you will need the cooperation of others to complete a part. This is not a competitive game. Now that the main storyline has unfolded, Qin Shang really can't treat him as a lone ranger and offend all other living people in one breath.

This wave was just going to make him swallow his anger, but Qin Shang had no choice but to accept it.

He changed his mind and narrowed his eyes slightly to calculate the actions of these people.

If the female reporter had any brains, she would never let Mr. Zheng go with her...

And when this woman said this, her tone was not one of negotiation!

She was extremely curious about Qin Shang's solo side quest, and regarded this side quest as a key clue to pass the level.

But there is nothing wrong with this logic.

Under normal circumstances, the quest clues for the fraudster professional player in the dungeon will be much more than those for other professional players.

In addition, they are numerous and powerful, and only Qin Shang stands out.

It is reasonable for them to do this. On the other hand, it can be considered as an added layer of insurance.

Qin Shang would have done the same if it were a female reporter, but he felt that the sudden strength displayed by this woman without her noticing was a little surprising.

In particular, he could clearly feel that the other players around him were a little afraid of him, but when the female reporter made this statement, no one spoke out in objection.

In other words, it means that this woman has established a very high prestige among the player community.

It’s not that people don’t oppose it, but that they dare not oppose it.

Qin Shang will always remember one sentence...

The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it.

This female reporter is quite shrewd. She must know this truth and definitely has her own plans.

Moreover, if her wishful thinking were known to other players.

No one in the field paid any attention to her.

After all, according to Qin Shang's guess, this woman was most likely sent by the Zheng family.

To put it nicely, what she meant by that was to send someone to accompany her on a solo mission and share information.

To put it bluntly, it means monitoring yourself.

Qin Shang is not one to suffer any loss, he sneered.

Do you think you are the only one who can monitor others? You are threatening me directly...

Very good, very good.

What I fear least is threats.

Qin Shang smiled playfully in his heart. When it comes to item knowledge, he, a player who has cleared S and A levels many times, may be much more exaggerated than some old players in the Order Realm. You want someone to monitor my every move.

I also happen to want to...

The next moment, as expected.

"We haven't decided on the candidates yet... To make it fair, let's draw lots! Isn't there a locust tree over here? Let's pick nine branches, eight of which are short and one is long."

"Those who draw the tallest one will follow 'Licking Cockroach Feet' to carry out the single-player side quest. Don't worry, my friend, we will keep in touch with you at any time!"

Some of the players had sad faces. Apparently they had discussed this plan before leaving the monastery.

However, it was obvious that the others did not want to stay with Qin Shang. It was unknown whether Qin Shang had left a psychological shadow on them in the previous two rounds of the game of finding friends, or whether his fierce reputation made these people not want to deal with him, or perhaps...

Could it be that they now suspect that Qin Shang may no longer be his original self?

But it doesn't matter. Qin Shang doesn't care what other players think...

Drawing lots?

This woman wants to rely on drawing lots to send someone to monitor me?

As for this teammate, I prefer to make the choice myself...

Thinking of this, Qin Shang immediately put on a gentle smile.

He didn't care at all that this woman had taken over his own mission and directly classified the clues of his own solo mission into the information sharing;

"That's a good plan..."

"But if we do this, what if someone cheats? Wouldn't that just waste time?"

"Whoever draws the long branch can just break it and make it shorter, and then continue with the second and third rounds. This way of playing is only effective for honest people."

"Let me do it. There are nine people, eight long branches and one short branch. Players who draw the short branch will not be able to cheat. This way, the game will be faster and there will be no trouble. Let me distribute the branches, okay? After all, I am selecting candidates to accompany me in the single-player mission."

"Some of you are willing and some are unwilling. It's hard to please everyone. You all want to join forces. I understand and I want to, but there's nothing I can do. Shenlu only rewarded me with a single mission, and you all want the information and clues I got from this mission."

Qin Shang was shameless and took on the responsibility without any hesitation. He did not lose his temper, which was completely beyond the female reporter's expectation. Soon, everyone saw the young man picking up a few branches from the ground. He turned his head and took a look at Zhang Wei, Li Kai and Chen Zhuo.

The three NPC guards simply nodded at him calmly, without showing much emotion.

It seems that even though it is time to work, these three NPCs don't seem to be in a hurry.

Just watching indifferently...

Seeing that the NPC did not express any objection, Qin Shang retracted his gaze and looked at the other nine players over there;
