The Fool of the Gods

After hearing Cheng Shi's lies, Zhang Jizu slightly widened his eyes. He smiled helplessly in his heart and recalled the scene when his benefactor summoned him in the Fishbone Hall.

"I made a deal with [Fraud].

You don't need to know the content.

After this audience, you pray to Him for a trial.

Then, in the trial, try to save the life of one of His believers."

Zhang Jizu, who had turned into a skull, stared at his benefactor in amazement and asked in disbelief:

"[Fraud] made a deal with you to protect His believers?"

The green flame in the eye socket of the huge skull on the bone seat stagnated, and then he said "hmm" heavily.

After receiving a positive answer, Zhang Jizu immediately thought of one person, Zhen Xin!

Only she, and only the chosen one of [Fraud], is qualified to let the true God come forward and protect her, right?

She... no, her unreliable sister, has caused trouble for her again?

This matter is so big that it still needs communication between the true gods to settle it?

But since the gods have taken action, why don’t you just save her directly? Why do you have to get involved yourself?

Puzzled, Zhang Jizu asked bluntly:

"So, sir, I am going to be a bodyguard for Zhen Xin?"

"No, she."

"!!!" The always steady Zhang Jizu was anxious. For the first time, his eyes were wide open and his voice trembled slightly, "To be a bodyguard for Zhen Yi???"

"No, she."

"Huh——, that's okay." But then he became confused again, "Sir, which liar has received the attention of [Fraud] again?

I want to protect him, so I must know his name, right?"

"His name is Cheng Shi."

"?"

Honest? Cheng Shi?

Zhang Jizu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the gossip that swept the entire peak player circle.

Is the fate weaver of Zhen Yi also called Cheng Shi?

What a coincidence?

Same name?

The huge skull seemed to see Zhang Jizu's doubts and gave a slight response.

"That's the person you're thinking of."

"But isn't he a believer in [Destiny]?"

Zhang Jizu was puzzled. He didn't know what happened in the middle, and he couldn't understand why the benefactor would give such an order to let him be a bodyguard.

But after thinking for a while, he thought of a possibility, that is, this Cheng Shi also has a secondary personality like Zhen Xin, and this secondary personality also believes in [Fraud]!

Only in this way can it be explained why the fate weaver and the [Fraud] believer are the same person.

It's too outrageous. [Fraud] found [Death] and asked the believer of [Death] to protect Zhen Yi's boyfriend, and this person is very likely to be a multi-personality player like Zhen Xin and Zhen Yi!

Are all you [Nothingness] so empty?

When he got the logic right, Zhang Jizu was dumbfounded.

He looked at the bone seat in disbelief, hoping that the oracle's guidance could be more detailed, but the oracle obviously didn't have the patience to explain it to him, so Zhang Jizu only saw a bone whip whipping towards him, his eyes went black, and he was whipped back to reality.

From the moment he returned to reality, he followed the instructions of the benefactor with a complicated expression and prayed to [Fraud] for a trial, but the outrageous thing was that [Fraud] never responded to him.

Until today, he tried it early and finally matched this honest liar!

He is really "honest", this is the first time I have seen a "wood elf" who deceives people without blinking an eye!

Gou Feng listened to Cheng Shi's words, shook his head and sighed:

"Brother, it's pointless for you to lie to others. Could it be that there is a rival among us, so you are hiding your faith?

Are you a member of [Destiny]?"

Hearing the name of [Destiny], the little assassin Scorpio suddenly looked at Cheng Shi with a serious face. If this leader is the opposing [Destiny], then he should be careful in this game.

Mo Shu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. At least one of the two 2400 teammates was not [Death], which was quite good news for him.

Before Cheng Shi could respond, Gou Feng touched his head and said:

"Not like that, [Destiny] is mysterious, you don't look like a charlatan.

Could it be [Wu Duo]?

Are you my rival?

What do you embrace, the desire for control? Teasing teammates, controlling everything?

If you are really his, just say it. I like cooperation, and my rivals can accept it, but if you hide it, I don't like you very much."

"......"

Brother, what you said makes me want to surrender to [Wu Duo].

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed. He knew that no one would believe it without evidence, so he stretched out his hand and concealed it.Hidden stimulated a trace of Lele'er's breath.

This is the breath of ancient [Prosperity], which is much purer than the [Prosperity] power of the players.

The reason why he did not choose to stimulate the "vitality" authority and [Prosperity] divinity is naturally for cautious consideration.

Even if Cheng Wenjian stood up to show off, he had to show off steadily. It was impossible for him to reveal all his cards at the beginning.

He knew that this breath of ancient [Prosperity] would most likely deceive these teammates. Even if it couldn't, it would be enough to make up for other loopholes with lies.

As expected, after feeling this ancient [Prosperity] breath, everyone was stunned.

"Brother, are you really a wood elf? But your hair..."

"It's interesting, the taste of ancient [Prosperity], 2400 points is different after all, I really like you."

"..."

Zhang Jizu also felt this breath of ancient [Prosperity] and was secretly happy in his heart.

He thought he was a very smart person, but he still couldn't avoid being cheated by scammers, because there were always scammers who were smarter than him, and there were many such high-scoring scammers.

But today was different. This was the first time he watched a scam from an omniscient perspective. Seeing his teammates being fooled, he suddenly understood why scammers were obsessed with cheating people.

Watching monkey shows is really fun, especially when you are not the monkey being fooled.

Seeing that everyone had dispelled some doubts, Cheng Shi smiled. He glanced at Mimi's eyes and keenly caught a hint of happiness in the corner of Mimi's eyes, and then blinked thoughtfully without saying a word.

Scorpio is an assassin after all, and his perception is obviously much better than everyone else. When several people were talking, his ears moved slightly to pay attention to the sounds inside the wall. It was not until everyone fell silent that he said with a strange expression:

"Strange, I listened for a long time, and there seemed to be... no one in the yard."

"No one?" Cheng Shi was stunned and looked up at the sky. The sun was not yet halfway up. It was obviously the duty time of the Shenyu Church. How could there be no one inside?

He frowned and felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined.

"Go in and take a look. Seeing is believing."

Everyone nodded, and then the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea showed their magical powers.

The assassin Scorpio disappeared directly in the shadow of the original place and disappeared. Gou Feng looked up at the high courtyard wall, and he jumped up on the spot and jumped directly in!

Mo Shu cautiously moved away from Zhang Jizu, then smiled at the two of them, annihilated a hole the size of a person in the wall, and walked directly in. Cheng Shi just wanted to get a ride, but the hole in the wall was restored after Mo Shu went in.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shi was amused.

This is really a creative scavenger!

But to be honest, are you too selfish? I brought you all the way here and you did this to me?

Okay, okay, in this case, I have to let you see the strength of my clown.

Yes, Cheng Shi is a clown in this game.

He didn't wear a mask when he came in, and the reason he didn't wear it was because he didn't expect to be matched with a serious trial when he prayed.

Before praying, he thought for a long time and felt that praying to [Fate] might be arranged clearly, so he switched back to the clown and prayed to [Fraud], but it was still arranged clearly.

So now, he has lost the divine power of today's warriors and has become a "powerless" priest.

But the difficulty in front of him is not a battle after all, so the priest has his own way.

Just as he was about to take out a set of rope ladders from his personal space and throw them on the wall, the squinting eyes that had been standing on the side spoke.

"This big tree looks good, wood elf, why don't you help make a tree ladder to take me up?"

Cheng Shi's mouth curled up as expected. He walked at the end just waiting for Zhang Jizu to talk to him. Now it seems that he really has a problem!

This person's eyes stayed on him for too long. Either he had heard of his name like his teammates on the field, or he already knew him.

Interesting, whose friend is this?

But Cheng Shi never revealed all this. Since the priest brother was also hiding, let's see who can hide better.

He pretended to be enlightened and looked back, looking at Zhang Jizu apologetically:

"I forgot, there is another priest here, don't panic, let the wood elf take you in."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to the squinting eyes.

Zhang Jizu was stunned, thinking that this [Fraud] believer could not be a trickster with "Lie Like Yesterday", who cheated a [Prosperity] believer in the last game, so this time he really turned him into a wood elf?

The wood elf is also good, at leastIt is convenient to climb less walls, so he smiled and stretched out his hand.

And at the moment when Cheng Shi grabbed Zhang Jizu's wrist, he...

stuck one end of the rope ladder into his hand.

"???"

Looking at the confused squinting eyes, Cheng Shi explained seriously:

"I am a member of the Plant Protection Association. I never abuse plants, nor will I drive plants to work like cattle and horses.

This is the rope ladder made of vines I picked up with the power of [Prosperity]. Throw it on the top of the wall, and we can climb up safely.

How about it, isn't it convenient and fast?"

"..."

There are so many slots in this sentence that Zhang Jizu has a lot of dirty words to curse, but they are all stuck in his throat, and he doesn't know where to start.

He was so angry that he laughed. He pulled the rope ladder in Cheng Shi's hand while laughing, and threw the ladder onto the wall as the other party said. Then he adjusted the end of the rope ladder and glanced at Cheng Shi with a smile:

"Does the power of [prosperity] have such an effect?"

Cheng Shi was stunned and looked at Zhang Jizu's palm, but saw a white product label hanging on the end of the rope ladder. Only then did he remember that the rope ladder was not obtained by his prayer, but was picked up from someone else's backpack in a trial.

It's really strange. How can people still use labeled products in the end of the world?

But he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even argued without blushing:

"It can be seen that my master is very nostalgic, and even helped me restore this detail that only existed before the advent of the game.

So!

Who said that prosperity is only in the present? Look, isn't this spray label a clear proof that the real manufacturing industry has prospered in the past?"

"......"

Can this be related?

Good, good, you are someone who understands [prosperity]!

Zhang Jizu was numb. He decisively shut up and swallowed all his complaints. He stood quietly aside and did not move.

Cheng Shi saw that the other party was unwilling to go first, so he had to climb up first. Zhang Jizu followed closely. When the two climbed to the top of the wall, Cheng Shi took back the ladder and put it on the other side, and slowly climbed down.

When he landed safely, Zhang Jizu, who was still on the top of the wall, twitched his mouth in annoyance and jumped down directly from the high wall.

"Bang——"

Cheng Shi saw dust flying in front of him, and there was a figure rubbing his knees in the smoke and dust.

He fixed his eyes, looked at the strong pastor, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

There is something about these squinting eyes.

...
