The Fool of the Gods

...

In yesterday's chapter, I found that many book friends were asking Longjing how he found out that "Cheng Shi" was not Cheng Shi. I originally wrote this paragraph, but later I deleted it because I felt it was too long-winded.

Before I start the main text today, I will explain Longjing's thinking:

The logic here is to first look at this scam from "Longjing's perspective":

Previous: "Cheng Shi" said that he had met with [Destiny], and this sentence was true. After that, Longjing saw through the identity of "Cheng Shi" and knew that he was not the real Cheng Shi.

From Longjing's perspective, the information revealed by this sentence can infer the following possibilities:

1. This sentence is true, so the master of deception will also say it is true, and this means that a non-[Destiny] God Chosen has met with [Destiny]. For Longjing's cognition, this possibility is extremely low, but it is not completely ruled out.

2. This statement was originally false, but the Master of Deception said it was true, so there is no doubt that the other party is definitely a liar with a Master of Deception. However, "Cheng Shi" lied, which means that the other party is either Zhen Xin or has a Master of Deception card, but Zhen Yi is on the opposite side, so it is likely that the other party is a player with a Master of Deception card.

3. This statement needs to be interpreted separately. The audience with the benefactor is true, and the word [Destiny] is also true when it is left alone. This undoubtedly shows that this person is Zhen Yi, because Long Jing has never seen the gods. As the second on the [Fraud] list, the possibility of a liar below is even lower, so it is more likely that "Cheng Shi" is Zhen Yi, but the real "Zhen Yi" is on the opposite side, so it is back to situation 2. In addition, Long Jing believes that the anchor point for "Zhen Yi" to be true is the tongue of lies.

Considering the attitude of "Cheng Shi" and "Zhen Yi" in the secret confrontation, "Cheng Shi" and "Zhen Yi" are not on the same side. He deliberately told himself a lie in order to pull himself into the game against "Zhen Yi", because if "Cheng Shi" was at an advantage in this confrontation between the scammers, there would be no need to do this.

Therefore, "Cheng Shi" is a scam party who is at a disadvantage and needs external forces to enter and muddy the water. If he dares to invite a scammer, he must have a "resonance" with the scammer, otherwise he cannot convince Longjing to let Longjing willingly join the game. The most common and reasonable "resonance" that can be caused between two people who don't know each other's identities is... both believers in [fraud] and both hate Zhen Yi.

Only when these two points exist at the same time, Longjing will feel that the other party has reason to expose the flaws to him, because the other party wants to help him. The flaw here refers to the lie that "Cheng Shi" said before.

(Zhen Xin also took advantage of this. She took advantage of Long Jing's dislike for her sister to drag Long Jing into the game, but the real sister had been driven away by her!)

So in summary, Long Jing judged that "Cheng Shi" was also likely to be a liar, which ruled out the above situation 1 (the option where the audience [Destiny] was true), and thus was more inclined to situation 2.

And in his cognition, a liar could not be Cheng Shi.

So he determined that this person was a liar, not the real Cheng Shi.

(This paragraph does not count as the main text, the word count today is up to standard, not water text.)

Main text↓

...

Cheng Shi and "Cheng Shi" were shocked at the same time. Of course, Cheng Shi was real, and "Cheng Shi" was pretending.

No wonder Zhen Xin said the two words [Convention], it turned out that she was trying to bring up this matter!

【Destiny】 did not even summon "the chosen one", but summoned an "unknown" fate weaver. The shock of this incident may not be as great as the fall of a god, but it is closer to the players and more fun than other mysterious things.

So, she wants to make herself famous among the top players to create more fun?

No, she is not Zhen Yi, so she cannot speculate based on Zhen Yi's personality.

Cheng Shi did not have much contact with Zhen Xin, and the few words about her were learned from the big cat. He could only confirm that Zhen Xin was slightly more reliable than Zhen Yi, but he could not confirm to what extent the other party was reliable.

So what did she want to do?

Transfer the pressure of 【Destiny】 to herself, so as to free up the attention on the blind man?

Or is she just simply taking revenge on herself for cheating her sister?

Okay, okay, no matter what you want to do, I think you don't want this lying tongue anymore.

At this point, Cheng Shi was not too worried about Zhen Xin putting a halo on him, because the halo she put on him was real, so even if he restored his identity, he could still accept it.

And in Long Jing's eyes, "Cheng Shi" was definitely not the real Cheng Shi. If he could wait until he made this matter public, he could also "escape" and get rid of this pressure.

But to be honest, for Cheng Shi at the moment, this Zeng JinIt is better to not take off the pressure of seeing the gods.

After this "battle", he knew that he would not be able to hide his identity in the circle of top players anymore, and he would definitely become one of the most explosive "news" recently, and then be followed, contacted and studied by hundreds of top players.

At this time, the more halo he has, the more mysterious his personality will be, and the more fearful other top players will be.

But fear is often accompanied by covetousness, which is the core of the top game ecology of pursuing extreme power and trying to get their attention, and Cheng Shi cannot avoid it.

When you are a little mysterious, others will pay attention to you and keep a distance from you.

But when you are ten points mysterious, under the temptation of extreme curiosity, others may not be so willing to keep a distance from you. They will only want to catch you and strip off your mysterious coat.

So what Cheng Shi has to do now is to let Zhen Xin stop at the right time, and don't put some backgrounds on himself that are unclear or require a lot of lies to make up!

So he quickly put on "Zhen Yi's" coat and interrupted everyone's conversation with her lively personality:

"Hee~

Cheng Xiaoshi, what does [Destiny] look like?"

"Cheng Shi" glanced at Cheng Shi with a strange look and said faintly:

"[Destiny], He...

Why should I tell you?"

"?"

"..."

A strange atmosphere spread in the scene. To others, it didn't seem like the two people didn't want to communicate, but rather a bit like flirting.

Even Hu Wei's posture of wanting to speak was frozen, and he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Instead, Chen Shuo's eyes sparkled, and he praised "Cheng Shi" with satisfaction:

"Brother-in-law, you are indeed very insightful!

Even if [Destiny] has summoned you, I still think [Silence] is more suitable for you, what do you think?"

"......"

The topic has gone off track, and it is obvious that everyone is as curious about Cheng Shi's audience with [Destiny] as the fall of [Prosperity].

Seeing that the situation is not right, Grand Marshal Hu Wei stood up again, and he smiled and patted "Cheng Shi" on the shoulder, saying:

"Good boy, that's enough.

Humph, no one's intelligence is picked up for nothing. If you want to continue listening, show your sincerity and exchange it with my brother."

As he said this, he slightly stepped aside, which obviously meant that after confirming the information he knew, he believed "Cheng Shi's" words and recognized "Cheng Shi's" identity.

The generosity and righteousness of the Grand Marshal were once again demonstrated after satisfying his personal curiosity.

"Cheng Shi" also suddenly changed from being the target of public criticism to an important resource protected by a chosen one.

When everyone saw Hu Wei like this, their expressions changed but not obviously. Obviously, everyone understood the character of this great marshal. Chen Shu couldn't stand it and whispered:

"Cheng Shi is just your recognized brother, but he is my brother-in-law. Even if he is my former brother-in-law, he is obviously closer to me. What's the difference between you and being a mistress, Old Hu?"

"......"

"......"

"......"

No one could connect with Chen Shu's train of thought. Everyone's face was constipated. "Cheng Shi" was speechless. Only "Zhen Yi" was laughing as usual. "She" looked at "Cheng Shi" and blinked, and then suddenly said to Hu Wei inexplicably:

"You are so anxious to take Cheng Xiaoshi away. Don't you want to be my mistress?"

"Boom--"

As soon as the voice fell, the second arc of blood and fire instantly slashed towards the place where "Zhen Yi" was!

Seeing that he finally had a chance to escape, Cheng Shi immediately switched his beliefs with the help of the shadow of the fire, and then teleported with a dice to the edge of the venue.

When the other players around him saw this "evil star" approaching, they immediately retreated in panic, and the two fire bearers also retreated cautiously, but their eyes never left Cheng Shi's body.

Hu Wei was not surprised that he missed the attack, but just spit out a bad luck, and then said to the others around him:

"I have a big business to do, I wonder if you are interested?

Although I can't guarantee that everyone will gain something, at least my brother Cheng Shi will go with me."

As he said, he also hugged "Cheng Shi"'s shoulders to prevent "him" from escaping.

"Even if there is no gain, you can use the information in your hands to exchange for some interesting information from my brother.

But I have to make it clear first, there are two things in that place that I must get, one is the promise to my brother, and the other is my goal. In addition to these two props, the other things will be obtained by those who are destined.

How about it, Mo Li Longjing, are you interested?"

As soon as Hu Wei finished speaking, Chen Shuo raised his hand unwillingly and said:

"What about me? What about me!?"

Hu Wei glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, he stared at Mo Li and Long Jing and waited for their response.

Mo Li thought carefully for a moment, raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Long Jing, on the other hand, rolled his eyes for a long time, looked at the giant sword in Hu Wei's hand, and then glanced at "Cheng Shi" behind Hu Wei.

Zhen Xin wanted to go alone to the Grand Marshal's game, so she had to be prepared.

But the scene did not give her extra preparation opportunities. Everyone present was not a good partner, only Long Jing...

Only the second place on the list, who was also [Fraudulent], could barely be regarded as a qualified teammate who could keep up with the pace.

So she chose to use a lie to reveal her identity at the juncture just now, making Cheng Shi uncomfortable, and letting Long Jing participate out of curiosity.

She also gave a vague idea of ​​her camp affiliation, letting Longjing know that she was a liar, and a liar who didn't get along with "Zhen Yi", in order to make Longjing, who had just been cheated by her sister, tend to cooperate with her.

Zhen Xin's mind was clever, but she missed one point, that is, Longjing suddenly stopped following halfway.

This "President Gong" was secretly happy watching this fun, but smiled and rejected the proposal.

Not only that, he deliberately retreated half a step, as if he had drawn a clear line with the liars in the field.

Yes, I didn't expose you, but I... won't help you anymore.

Although Zhen Yi was annoying, her perspective on fun was really smart. Since she could enjoy the fun of her peers, why couldn't I?

So Longjing retreated at the peak of his power, and when he saw a trace of daze in "Cheng Shi's" eyes, he was even happier.

Go ahead and cheat, go ahead and cheat. If you can cheat the Grand Marshal, that's your ability. If you can't, then you can only use your own neck to test whether the Grand Marshal's knife is sharp or not.

Also, Grand Marshal, Grand Marshal, when you find out that your good brother is a liar, I hope you can still smile as happily as you are now.

Forget it, I don't want to be buried with a liar whose identity cannot be seen.
