I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 105 Good things are meant to be snatched.
Cao Yu summoned Xiao Qi to test it out and found that Xiao Qi's range of movement had reached 20 meters.

At the same time, he instinctively sensed that when his superpowers were attached to the weapon he was holding, the length that could be extended was also amplified.

Of course, the biggest change is in his reaction speed.

Now, his reaction speed is basically on par with that of a C-level player.

At least when facing the strongest teams, there won't be a situation where he hasn't even had time to react before the opponent has already killed him several times.

This truly makes them comparable to the strongest tier.

'I haven't claimed the bounty from the Special Affairs Bureau for killing Chen Jian yet, and there's also the reward from the district branch that Director Zhao applied for... If all of that comes through, I should have accumulated close to 100,000 evolution points.'

Cao Yu was in a very good mood at this moment.

Now, he can be considered a wealthy gamer.

Life is getting sweeter and sweeter.

He couldn't help but recall his previous conversation with the members of the Rebellious Fate Society... They were so stingy with an investment of 4 points, yet they insisted on making him sign some kind of extraordinary contract... It has to be said, the Rebellious Fate Society's vision is still too narrow.

Of course, this is also because the other party does not know his true information, so they cannot make up their minds to invest.

Cao Yu didn't blame them.

After looking at the players' wealth, Cao Yu then looked at the "system wealth".

[The Strongest Player 2.0]

[Achievement Points: 27040]

Almost 30,000? Looks like the publicity Director Zhao did for him is starting to really get going... Wait! Almost 30,000!?
‘Something’s wrong! ’

Cao Yu suddenly felt a sense of vigilance.

This data... seems a bit off, doesn't it?

The last time he checked, the total number of achievement points was only "8320". How did it suddenly soar to almost 30,000?

Cao Yu immediately opened the "Reputation Achievements" section, looked at the details, and found that there were quite a few negative reputations.

A large number of "+1"s.

A small amount of "+5".

A very small number of "+20" values ​​– this value corresponds to C-level players.

In other words, his reputation has spread to the C-level player circle and left a deep impression on them.

He is now quite well-known.

But... even if fame spreads like a snowball, from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, how long has it been? How could it be so fast?

Is this some kind of rocket launch?
'There must be some change that I'm unaware of.'

The sudden surge in achievement points didn't excite Cao Yu much; instead, he frowned slightly.

Because this was outside his predictive framework.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

"What's wrong?" An Li noticed the slight change in Cao Yu's expression.

"There are some things I need to look into," Cao Yu replied. "Let's part ways here for now."

"Do you need my help?" An Li volunteered.

"Not for now," Cao Yu reminded him. "You need to fake the fact that Xiao Chen is still alive. If you're distracted while doing this, it's easy to run into trouble..."

Having said this, he suddenly stopped.

The cell phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Yang Chan calling... Yang Chan suddenly called while he was meeting with An Li in private... In an instant, the feeling of "stealing" in his heart intensified again.

It really is a strange state of mind.

After Cao Yu connected, he asked:

"Little sister, is something the matter?"

"Sixth Brother. Eldest Brother is back and wants to hold a family meeting. He asked me to let you know so you can come back right away," Yang Chan said.

"A family meeting...do you know what it's about?" Cao Yu asked.

The eldest brother, Yang Jiao, rarely organizes family meetings.

Basically, every time we organize something, something significant has happened.

For example, last time, everyone secretly became players without his knowledge, and as a result, they all got criticized by him...

"I don't know," Yang Chan replied, "but my brother's attitude was very serious."

"That must be a serious matter," Cao Yu said. "I'll go back now."

"Um...by the way, Sixth Brother," Yang Chan asked casually, "You didn't come home last night. Were you busy with something?"

"Dealing with the people from the Rebellious Fate Society was rather troublesome and took some time," Cao Yu replied casually.

"Does it really need to take this long?" Yang Chan asked suspiciously.

"That's right. It really takes that long."

After lying without batting an eye, Cao Yu hung up the phone.

The reason he lied was mainly because he was afraid Yang Chan would misunderstand something again. His relationship with An Li was that of friends and business associates, a very proper one.

But Yang Chan's imagination ran wild.

I always suspect he's being kept by a sugar daddy or something... Is he the kind of person who doesn't have a good appetite?

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yu looked at An Li and continued:
"As you can see, I need to go home first."

"You weren't telling the truth just now... Did Yang Chan misunderstand our relationship?" An Li asked. "She likes to imagine all sorts of strange things," Cao Yu explained.

“Hiding it will only make her misunderstand more easily,” An Li said. “It’s better to just tell her that you went out with me to make money last night.”

You're trying to provoke and bully her, aren't you? Be careful, she might retaliate against you... Cao Yu said:
"I have to go."

“Okay. Just let me know if you need any help,” An Li reminded her. “We’re like-minded people, no need to be shy.”

"……gone."

After a brief farewell, Cao Yu walked to a quiet spot not far away where few people were around, using the "illusionary light and sound" technique to conceal his presence.

He doesn't plan to take the subway anymore.

Since there's something going on at home, I'll just fly back.

An Li stood there, quietly watching Cao Yu's departing figure.

Only after Cao Yu's figure disappeared did she realize that he must have flown away, and then she left and took a taxi back home.

After returning to the villa built around the artificial lake, An Li went to the study on the second floor, found paper and pen, and began to write and draw. She wrote down her recent experiences and her mental state issues on the paper, drew mind maps, and reasoned out the logic within them.

She was trying to figure out why she wanted Cao Yu to pat her head.

After a careful, rigorous, and somewhat comical process of reasoning, she came to a conclusion:
'If it were just a simple friendship based on shared interests, I probably wouldn't have these thoughts, so... do I like him?'

'The reason…is it out of a longing for kindred spirits? Or gratitude for him avenging me…or perhaps, I admire his morally flexible approach to life so much that I want to strive to be like him, and so admiration has evolved into liking?'

An Li started looking for the reason.

After searching high and low, she suddenly realized that all the factors she could think of could be applied to it and could all be the "reason".

As someone whose mental state is different from that of ordinary people and who is too rational, An Li also pays great attention to rationality when it comes to the logic of emotions... In other words, she will not instinctively develop an initial liking for someone just because they are good-looking.

She treats everyone equally.

So from childhood to adulthood, she never suffered the pain of love and romance.

Therefore, when the feeling of "liking" arose, she instinctively confused it with "fellow enthusiasts" and failed to distinguish between them.

Normal people don't have this kind of mental state.

A normal person knows perfectly well whether they like someone or not.

An Li is different.

However, she has now revealed her mental state.

'So it turns out I wasn't acting strange, I was just in love... oh, just a crush.'

She analyzed her situation, but then sighed softly to herself.

Because Cao Yu... doesn't seem like the type of person who would actively pursue a relationship.

People who don't lack love, who have careers and goals in their hearts, take a very detached view of things like love... Although Cao Yu often steals glances at her legs, it's just a normal male desire.

'No... Desire leads to development, which is a good thing.'

An Li mentally encouraged herself.

She is someone who is not shy, so she often reminds her fellow enthusiasts not to be shy.

She can accept her own emotions and desires honestly and openly, and then act on them.

Liking Cao Yu and liking puppet making shouldn't make much difference...

Since Cao Yu isn't taking the initiative, she'll just have to.

She knew that good things couldn't be obtained by simply waiting.

Cherished resources always require active struggle and acquisition; this is the fundamental law governing the world.

An Li began to formulate a plan...

……

Qingshan City.

It is located in a manor villa in the southern suburbs of the new district.

After taking a break and listening to Xia Wen's work report, Qin Tiancheng sighed.
"So, Cao Yu doesn't trust us?"

"That's right. And his distrust is very obvious."

Xia Wen, whose hair was permed and dyed red, replied:

"The prop puppet I was controlling maintained a humble attitude throughout its conversation with Cao Yu, showing no negligence or disdain whatsoever. In terms of benefits, I offered the highest terms directly, but... he wanted to get it for free."

"Another player who only wants benefits and is unwilling to accept obligations. Sigh..." Qin Tiancheng sighed again.

“I think he’s worried that there’s something wrong with the extraordinary contract the chairman provided,” Xia Wen added. “But we can’t just invest in him directly without taking any precautions.”

"The contract is just to protect us. He didn't even see the physical contract before refusing it. It's more likely that he doesn't believe what we're saying. After all... it's really too illogical for the three major families to be able to control the strongest echelon."

Qin Tiancheng concluded:

"He had a bright future in the Special Affairs Bureau, so it's understandable that he wouldn't work with us... There are many people like that who won't admit their mistakes until they're faced with the consequences."

Besides Qin Tiancheng and Xia Wen, Lin Ye and Qin Shiyu were also discussing matters in this luxurious office.

After listening to the conversation, Lin Ye frowned and said:

“Mr. Qin, Cao Yu’s superpowers and dungeon-running abilities are both exceptional. If we cannot win him over, he may become another He Lun once he is controlled by the three major families. At that time, the Rebel Society may be in an even more dangerous situation.”

He Lun – Holder of Serial Number 77, Harmony with the World.

The Federation's strongest player.
