This bug is amazing!

Chapter 158 Among three people walking together, there must be my wife (6k)

His head exploded, and blood spurted out.

The third floor was closest to Longhe. When various brain tissues mixed with blood splattered onto his face and glasses, he was momentarily stunned and his heart raced.

Those present were all top-tier players who had seen their share of great things, even more terrifying and bloody scenes, so their reactions were relatively calm.

Except for Greymon.

Excitement gleamed in the eyes of the gothic girl.

He took off his glasses on the third floor and calmly took out a tissue to wipe the lenses:
"Ji Yi, how did you figure out his identity?"

He remained expressionless, not even glancing at Ji Yi.

Ji Yi did not answer immediately:

"Go to the restroom and change your pants first, then we'll talk when you get back."

"Ah."

He stood up on the third floor, a few drops of water seeping from his trouser legs.

Upon seeing this, the driver immediately got up and called for the servants to clean up.

It's not that top players have that kind of mental fortitude; games and reality are just different things.

Especially for people at their level, it's been a long time since they've experienced a real life-or-death crisis.

Anyway, people at this level don't lack game currency, and they can afford to buy a logout button. Even if they die, they'll only lose a level, and it won't lead to a real death from a single setback.

In reality, as Zuiwan Guhong said, there is no distinction between the top and the bottom, and people only have one life.

Therefore, the feeling is completely different when facing real death.

A moment of silence fell over the scene. Seeing the fear in the eyes of the others looking at him, Ji Yi chuckled, pulled the safety, and tossed the gun in his hand onto the round table.

The pistol spun as it approached Zuiwan Guhong, but the other party calmly put the gun away.

With Ji Yi eliminated, the others finally felt a little relieved.

"Upstairs" asked Ji Yi, "How did you become so sure he was sent by the Headhunter Alliance? Aren't you afraid of killing the wrong person?"

At this point, servants began cleaning up the body and removing stains from the scene.

'These servants have pretty good mental fortitude. Does Gu Hong often kill people here?'

Ji Yi was making wild guesses in his mind, but when he saw someone upstairs asking him a question, he calmly replied:

"Actually, I only intended to scare him at first, but after testing him, I actually revealed a flaw. Hehe, his mental fortitude is a bit lacking."

After Ji Yi finished speaking, he looked at Zui Wan Gu Hong: "When you put the gun on the table, did you expect this to happen?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other players' eyes also turned to Zuiwan Guhong.

Hmm? Could it be that Gu Hong and Ji Yi had planned this in advance?

"As an official, it's not appropriate for me to do anything that would damage my image, as that would easily lead to distrust from other players."

Gu Hong said calmly, "But I didn't expect you to fire directly, and I didn't expect you to trick him into revealing his undercover identity with just a few words."

The two exchanged questions and answers, their ambiguous conversation leaving everyone somewhat confused.

At this moment, the third floor quickly put on his pants and came back, his calm expression as if he had just gone to the toilet.

He calmly sat down as if nothing had happened.

Once everyone had arrived, Ji Yi began to explain:
"Don't panic, everyone. Let me tell you how I uncovered Longhe's undercover identity."

As she spoke, Ji Yi seemed to feel that something was missing while sitting in the chair, so she simply plopped down on the round table.

Then he sat cross-legged in such an unladylike manner that everyone else had to look up at him.

The scene of shooting Long He undoubtedly changed Ji Yi's image in other people's minds.

Actually, everyone here is a top player and not stupid. When they saw Ji Yi attending this meeting, they could vaguely sense that something was wrong.

What just happened completely overturned everyone's impression.

"Just less than two hours ago, Gu Hong, Chang Kong, and I participated in a team dungeon and encountered a person named Ye Luo Yan Yu."

Ji Yi gave a general overview of the dungeon, but omitted many details, such as the past of the Mist Maiden and the secrets of the Ancient Gods, and focused on the matter of Ye Luo Yan Yu.

"And I suspect that he is one of the high-ranking members of the Headhunter Alliance, or even the leader of the Headhunter Alliance."

These words even slightly moved Chang Kong.

Although she was aware of what had happened in the Leaf Falling Rain instance, from her perspective, there was almost no direct evidence linking it to the Headhunter Alliance.

Ji Yi then looked at Gu Hong: "Brother Gu Hong, when you called me here earlier, you said you couldn't find the player ID 'Ye Luo Yan Yu,' right?"

Drunk and Lonely Goose nodded.

"First of all, it's common knowledge that you can't change your name after level 10. And it's impossible that he was really wiped out by Gu Hong back then. So, eliminating all the impossibilities, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth."

Have you ever heard of the "Fraudster" profession, and the related career paths?

Ji Yi spoke, which immediately surprised everyone.

Because he was working backwards from the answer, Ji Yi's statement was full of logical leaps.

Looking at the bewildered expressions of the crowd, and the sudden realization in Gu Hong's eyes.

Haha, you're amazed by my incredible wisdom, aren't you?

To be honest, Ji Yi believes that he can't compare to Gu Hong in terms of brainpower, even though Gu Hong is a well-rounded individual.

However, Ji Yi has a cheat code, giving her an absolute information advantage.

This advantage may not be obvious in the early stages of the game, but as the game progresses to higher levels, the information gap will create a huge advantage, both for players and for those who are already familiar with the dungeon.

In situations where he should showcase his abilities, his outstanding analytical skills are truly awe-inspiring.

Only in this way can he have a voice in front of these expert players and, to some extent, determine the future development direction.

Strategically, Gu Hong's idea of ​​"players working together to break the game" actually coincides with Ji Yi's thoughts, so he is naturally willing to contribute and will not just deal with it casually.

In order to live a normal and peaceful life in the future, to get married and have children, and to be an ordinary person.
Then use as much force as you can.

"When I first entered the game, I memorized the hundreds of classes in the game. The basic classes go without saying, and I also learned about the special classes."

These words surprised everyone else.

To be honest, they weren't pro players from the start. When they were first recruited by the game, probably not many people would choose to spend several hours researching hundreds of professions.

Especially for various special professions, many not only require basic attributes, but also have many other inexplicable requirements that are not worth paying attention to.

Ji Yi's ability to memorize and read them all is truly remarkable.

"The con artist is a special profession, and the game description doesn't provide much detail. However, it's certain that lies, deception, and disguise are the main characteristics of this profession."

Ji Yi continued to speak eloquently, then attributed her achievements using the "Data Eye" to Miss Cat.

Next is the ability to "reasonably speculate" about falling leaves and misty rain.

Deceiving others about their level, nickname, or profession makes them a natural villain template.

This alone is not enough to confirm that he is a member of the Headhunter Alliance, but given Long He's attitude and reaction, everyone knows that Ji Yi's guess is almost certainly correct.

Even the drunken man holding the lone wild goose showed a rare expression, a look of appreciation.

It was as if a genius who had been lonely for thousands of years had seen another prodigy who was comparable to himself.

Ji Yi felt uneasy under his gaze. Could this guy really be gay?

Ignoring the eager look in Zuiwan Guhong's eyes, Ji Yi revealed the plan she had been brewing in the previous instance:
"Based on my calculations, Ye Luo Yan Yu's biggest target right now should be 'Schrödinger's Cat.' Liars hate the truth, and my feigned ignorance should come into play. Ye Luo will likely try to get close to me in the near future."

"Until I get rid of him, it's better for our 'righteous alliance' to continue in its current form for the time being. Although it's inefficient, it's always better to be safe than sorry."

With a conman who can easily impersonate someone and change their status around, it's really difficult for people to openly promote their schemes and build alliances.

Otherwise, if Ye Luo were to impersonate a high-ranking member of the righteous faction and obtain real information about all the members, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The current situation is similar to the so-called "dark forest theory," where the first priority of opposing forces is to ensure that they themselves are never exposed before eliminating the other party, which requires avoiding many risky operations.

Ji Yi spoke eloquently, and all the expert players were completely convinced.

The driver nodded to himself, understanding why Gu Hong valued Ji Yi so much. Those on the third floor and upstairs were even more direct, immediately asking for a friend spot with Ji Yi.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex looked rather bored, seemingly uninterested in these plans, but she understood Ji Yi's abilities and was quite polite in her attitude.

The group discussed the details of the follow-up plan until after 10 p.m.

Eventually, a player organization called "Dark Alliance" was established, and Ji Yi became a member of Dark Alliance, as well as an unofficial member of the official "Games Department".

11pm.

After the discussion, Ji Yi dragged her tired body back to her villa room.

"I guess I've finally got a secure job. From now on, I'll have to do hard work like an ox or a horse."

Hopefully, by putting in more effort, we can clear the game sooner, or at least resolve our current predicament in time.

Thinking about it, Ji Yi pushed open the door to the room and saw a dress and women's underwear hanging on the clothes rack.

"?"

Ji Yi walked straight into the bedroom and saw Xiao Qin with her back to Ji Yi, wrapped in a bath towel, her upper back covered in water droplets.

Ji Yi: "Didn't I tell you to go back?"

Xiaoqin turned around and smiled, "Mr. Ji, you've finished your meal, but you haven't had dessert yet."

Perhaps she had just taken a shower and been scalded by the steam; her face was flushed, and her slightly damp hair was casually draped over her shoulders, giving her an alluring appearance.

Yun Chang: "I am willing to fight to the death, my lord, please do not stop me!"

Xiaoqin's gaze shifted downwards, and the blush on her face seemed to intensify.

"Xiaoqin did something wrong today, so... shall Xiaoqin make it up to Mr. Ji?"

She walked over and slowly knelt down in front of Ji Yi.

"Who told you to move it? I'll do it myself."

Ji Yi raised her hand and grabbed the other person's armpit, then lifted him up and slammed him onto the soft bed with a thud.

Xiaoqin did not resist, lowering her head and looking shy: "Mr. Ji is actually very handsome, and Xiaoqin is willing from the bottom of her heart."

Looking down at Xiaoqin's face, which bore a resemblance to Xie Jiayi's.

A sense of melancholy inexplicably arose in Ji Yi's heart.

What exactly is he doing right now?

Since he hasn't started dating Xie Jiayi yet, whatever he does now isn't immoral, right?
Besides, since I've already decided not to hold her back because of the misunderstanding, it doesn't matter what I do.

But why do I feel a pain in my chest?

'What's going on? Am I some kind of sissy from a female-oriented novel?'

Ji Yi frowned, but ultimately did not take that step.

"I'm not in the mood right now. You should put on your clothes and leave."

Xiaoqin looked surprised: "Eh? But..."

Yun Chang: "Brother, I'm in the mood."

boom!
He punched Yun Chang.

Xiaoqin was terrified: "Mr. Ji, please don't do this. I'll leave. Please don't hurt yourself."

She quickly got up, grabbed the clothes from the hanger, and went into the bathroom.

Ji Yi lay wearily on the bed, feeling a wave of emptiness wash over her.

I picked up my phone and dialed Miss Cat's number.

It rang several times, but the call didn't go through.

She seems to be still busy; I wonder what she's doing.

Ji Yi called Tang Hulu again, and Tang Hulu's voice came through the phone very quickly:
"Hey? It's Brother Ji. I just finished a dungeon run and was planning to take Wang Meng on a trip to Xiahe City. Do you want to come, Brother Ji?"

"Oh, Brother Ji is busy? That's a pity. Anyway, I have to board now. I love boarding the plane right on time, and I love hearing that announcement, 'Please, Tang XX, come to ascend the throne immediately!' I'm hanging up now."

Then Wang Meng's voice came through the phone: "His Majesty has passed away~"

*Beep*, call ended. Ji Yi: "."

I scrolled through WeChat and then called Chicken Leg again.

Chicken Leg: "Brother Ji, you've come at the perfect time. It's almost midnight. Do you think I should send Agua a red envelope right before May 20th? How about 5200? And add a note saying it's a voluntary gift."

Ji Yi: "."

"I meant chicken legs," Ji Yi sighed, trying to remain calm.

"What level are you at now? What level is Agua at?"

Chicken Leg hesitated for a moment: "I'm level 13 now, and Agua is level 17, what's wrong?"

Ji Yi: "You've met her? What did you think of her?"

Chicken Leg replied, "I've seen her. She's a bit taller than me, slim, very pretty, and quite capable too."

Ji Yi: "Then why do you think she'd be interested in you? Because you have a shorter stature? Because you're shorter than her? If you transfer the money now, at worst she'll take the money and treat you like a backup option, at best she'll just refund the money and politely reject you, and there will be no further possibility between you two."

Chicken Leg asked in a panicked tone, "What should we do, Brother Ji?"

Haha, young male authors are so easy to fool.

"Become stronger."

Ji Yi's smile was almost bursting out, but her voice was strong and clear.

"Men are most attractive in the process of competition. Whether it's writing a book or running a dungeon, you can only attract women by becoming stronger, understand?"

Chicken Leg: "Understood."

Ji Yi patiently guided him: "Do you think you can become a platinum-level author in a short period of time?"

Chicken Leg: "It seems unlikely, at least the book being serialized right now is doomed to fail."

“That’s right,” Ji Yi continued, “since your real life is such a failure.”

Chicken Leg: "Huh?"

"Then why don't you shine in the dungeon world?"

Chicken Leg hesitated: "Will it work?"

Ji Yi praised, "Of course you can. I knew you were born extraordinary the moment I saw you. You are a pearl, a gem, but your potential has not yet been discovered."

The chicken leg was very skeptical: "This..."

Seeing this, Ji Yi decided to use a combination of carrot and stick: "Do you know about the Headhunter Alliance? Your pen name and game name are the same. Aren't you afraid of being exposed in real life?"

drumstick:"."

Ji Yi: "I can use my connections to keep you safe, but you have to prove your worth first. For the sake of protecting Agua in the future, and for your own sake, focus on what needs to be done now."

Chicken Leg: "Okay, Brother Ji, just tell me how to do it."

ten minutes later.

Inside the game space, Ji Yi and Chicken Leg formed a team.

That bastard, it's really not easy to get him to be a teammate.

Ji Yi had always been very interested in the chicken leg's [Summoning Spell - Protagonist Appears] and [Summoning Spell - Boss Appears] skills.

This is also why Ji Yi always wanted to team up with Chicken Leg for a dungeon run.

The profession of writer is even rarer than that of fraudster, and it is also a profession with great potential.

It could even be said that the potential ceiling of the [Writer] profession after the job change exceeds that of [Jiao Ying Ge]'s [Mechanic] and [Ye Luo]'s [Trickster].

Ji Yi, with her [Card-Tracing Technique], can replicate the skill of using chicken legs.

Taking this guy to dungeons to level up is also a kind of investment for Ji Yi, a mutually beneficial arrangement.

"Since my real-life relationships are a mess, why don't I just run away?"

Ji Yi muttered to herself, determined to make good progress in the game.

The faster he improves his strength, the greater his chances of winning in dealing with various crises in the game in the future.

"Miss Cat is offline. What a pity."

Ji Yi sighed and sent a message to Chicken Leg:
"Wait a minute, I'm going to collect my reward first."

"Okay, Brother Ji."

Ji Yi first looked at the rating rewards from the last dungeon, choosing one of three: high-level equipment, items, or a large amount of experience.

After thinking for a while, Ji Yi still chose experience.

"After all, I still have a mythical-level job change scroll, and experience is very important."

Your level has been increased.

Current Level: LV.14

[Points available: 5]

At that moment, Chicken Leg sent a message: "???"

"Brother Ji, how did you suddenly level up?"

Ignoring him, Ji Yi began adding points as usual.

【Speed: 85】

All other values ​​remain 0.

As Ji Yi continues to increase her speed, her strength will theoretically double.

Because for the same mass, the impact energy at 200 m/s will be four times that at 100 m/s, and the impact energy at 400 m/s will be 16 times that at 100 m/s. The relationship between speed and energy is a quadratic increase.

This means that the benefits he gains from increasing his speed will become increasingly greater, enough to offset many of his disadvantages.

If this data continues, when his strength reaches level 30 or even 40, his hidden base stats will be enough to crush higher-level players.

However, considering that players' strength will increase significantly as their level increases, and level 40 is not only twice as strong as level 20, this advantage may not be as exaggerated as imagined.

However, it's important to understand that this only considers the basic numerical values. When you add Ji Yi's profession and skills, his advantages become apparent.

"Let's look at the other reward next."

That was a random, exclusive piece of armor given directly after the world's lore was deciphered.

【Name: Clown Mask】

Ji Yi: "."

Why is it another mask-type protective gear?

From the ethereal mask and the disguise mask to the faceless mask, playing this game is like stirring up trouble for the mask shop.

"Besides, it's clearly exclusive armor, so what does it have to do with the Card Master?"

Let's see what happens next.
【Name: Clown Mask】

[Type: Armor]

[Defense Strength: Medium]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect 1 "Hehehe": Active effect. Upon activation, enters a frenzy state lasting 20 minutes. During this time, you will receive an additional 50% damage and deal an additional 100% damage. Additionally, you will always have the highest score on the field when comparing points. Cooldown: 30 minutes]

【Effect 2 "Wailing": Active effect. Upon activation, enters a state of wailing for 10 minutes. You will be immune to all damage, and during this time you cannot deal damage to any unit. Additionally, your score will always be the lowest on the field. Cooldown: 30 minutes】

[Note: Hehehehehehehehe wuwuwuwuwuwuwu]

"This is divine equipment!"

The first effect was just so-so, but the second effect was simply phenomenal.

Immunizing all damage—that alone is enough to qualify as a legendary effect, right?

Not bad.

There are two more premium gift boxes and one random mythical item, which are stored with Miss Cat.

I'll just have to ask her for it next time.

He opened the team chat: "Okay, let's start the game."

"Brother Ji, you still haven't told me how you're going to get promoted."

Before I could even finish typing "chicken leg," the dungeon started.

[Entering the instance]

[Instance Title: Among Three, There Must Be My Wife (520 Special Edition)]

Ji Yi: "?"

[Dungeon Size: 3-player raid]

[Mission Objective: Complete the wedding ceremony]

[Limited Time: None]

[Difficulty: Easy]

[Attribute values ​​are locked]

Some items are now disabled.

Ji Yi felt completely bewildered.

He doubted that he had heard correctly.

He opened his eyes and found himself on the terrace of a building, leaning back in a deck chair. It seemed that a party was being held there.

Thick clouds drifted across the sky, and the fresh air carried a hint of alcohol and perfume.

He immediately opened the team panel.

[Ji Yi LV14: Survival]

[Chicken Leg Immortal LV13: Survival]

[Cannot eat cilantro LV1: Survival]

"Hmm? A level one player?"

No wonder it's an easy dungeon.

Even if you die in a simple dungeon, you won't lose a level. Generally, this dungeon is mostly matched with novice players.

"Is this a setup where two experienced players are tasked with mentoring a newbie?"

How weak must this newbie be for a player of Ji Yi's caliber to guide him?

Never mind, this kind of dungeon is incredibly easy.

Wouldn't passing the test be a piece of cake?
Just then, a figure walked over; it was Chicken Leg.

She's 1.7 meters tall and has a rather effeminate appearance, making her quite recognizable.

Before the chicken leg could even open its mouth, Ji Yi preemptively asked, "Is your skill to summon the protagonist and the BOSS locked?"

Chicken Leg nodded, a little confused: "It's locked, what's wrong, Brother Ji?"

Damn, so this whole dungeon run was a complete waste of time?
That was a mistake; we should have brought chicken legs to the apocalyptic map.

As I was thinking this, a message popped up from Data Eye.

[The newbie you mentioned is about 50 meters to your left and is about to be hit on by a local man. Aren't you going to go check it out?]

Upon seeing this, Ji Yi immediately stood up: "Chicken Leg, come with me, let's go and give some proper care to the newbie gamer."

As he spoke, he moved quickly and soon spotted the female player named "Doesn't Eat Cilantro".

She's of average height and quite cute, but she looks a bit dull.

Wait, what's the point of stuffing two landmines in my clothes?
This is a contraband item! How can you hide something like this in a public place? It must be checked.

The vision of God!
