I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 110: Federation Players Are My Reputation Food
Cao Yu began searching for traces of the Rebellious Fate Society within the Meishan area.

Yang Chan stayed by his side, replenishing his mental energy from time to time, while using the D-level item "Mystic Light and Illusory Sound" to conceal their whereabouts.

The "Hundred-Mile Soul Locker" can detect a range of 50 kilometers at a time, which is quite efficient.

Even if the areas that need to be detected are not only urban areas, but also various counties, towns and villages... at the scale of 50 kilometers, troublesome things become simple.

It's just that... traveling takes too much time.

Without the "Spirit Control of Ten Thousand Movements" to assist in flight, Cao Yu estimated that he would probably have given up on this plan.

It didn't take him long to complete the search of the entire Meishan District, but he didn't find any clues.

He plans to look elsewhere.

Before leaving Meishan, Cao Yu went to the Central District Office of the Meishan Special Affairs Bureau, which is also the location of the district branch headquarters, to collect the bounty for killing Chen Jian and the bureau's reward.

Among them, Chen Jian's bounty was only 1 points—this amount made Cao Yu wonder if the powerful and wealthy people's disgust and hatred towards Chen Jian were really as deep as rumored.

A mere 1 points... Can you be so stingy even with hatred?

The internal rewards from the district branch were even less, only 3000 points, making Cao Yu exclaim in his heart that all the resources had been eaten up by dogs!
After a trip to the Special Affairs Bureau, Cao Yu earned 13,000 yuan... He glanced at his evolution point balance—[Evolution Points: 89000].

Well, it's alright.

To Cao Yu's surprise, Jiang He, the director of the Meishan District Branch, was also at the Central District Office, and they happened to bump into each other.

Jiang He recognized him, but only nodded indifferently, without any further contact.

Clearly, Director Jiang didn't have a high opinion of Zhao Dezhu's faction.

As the head of the district branch, Jiang He's position was somewhat awkward—in terms of both ability and potential, he was far inferior to Zhao Dezhu, which made him seem somewhat unworthy of his position.

This was just a minor incident, and Cao Yu didn't take Jiang He to heart. After leaving the Central District Office, he took Yang Chan and began to explore the entire Sishan City area.

Finally, after spending half a day, he found a clue in Qingshan District, near the new district.

Yang Chan noticed the change in Cao Yu's expression and asked, "Sixth Brother, have you found something?"

“I’ve got it,” Cao Yu replied. “The masked man from the last match, the mask he wore and the thick clothes he was wearing, are right there in that location.”

He pointed south towards the new district.

“A new district, a wealthy area… This rebel group has some nerve.” Yang Chan was slightly surprised: “They actually dare to hide in a place like this.”

Qingshan District is the most prosperous district in Sishan City.

The new district is an affluent area in Qingshan District, inhabited by people of considerable status. In the event of any incident, the Sishan Special Affairs Bureau will respond immediately.

The saying "the darkest place is under the lamp" doesn't apply to this kind of environment; the risk factor is too high.

“Those who live in wealthy neighborhoods are no ordinary people,” Cao Yu laughed. “It seems we can catch a big fish this time. That suits me just fine.”

Only after catching the big fish can we follow the clues and find the mysterious leader of the Rebellious Fate Society.

“Let’s go,” he continued, “we need to hurry.”

After saying that, he continued flying with Yang Chan, following the inexplicable senses, heading towards the southern suburbs of the new district.

Whenever his sense of direction disappears, he cuts through the future to sever the influence of the unknown forces and reconnect with his own perception.

With Yang Chan around, he doesn't need to worry about mental strain and can use his abilities very recklessly.

And so, the two continued to approach their destination.

The closer they got, the deeper Cao Yu's feelings of awe and vigilance grew—the players' powers, superpowers, and items were simply too diverse and comprehensive.

Who would have thought that a mask or clothes once worn could become a key clue revealing one's location?

Since he can find people using this method, others can certainly use methods he doesn't expect to pinpoint his location.

Trying to defend against it by focusing on the details is definitely not enough; the power of the props exceeds human common sense.

'It seems I need to find a supernatural means to conceal my true identity.'

Cao Yu made a decision in his heart.

Just as he was getting closer to his destination, a faint sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart.

This is... the sixth sense of a celestial player coming into play!

Although the "Immortal Censorship Manual" he cultivated could not be considered an orthodox immortal scripture, it was still of immortal grade. The methods for improving one's cultivation realm recorded in it were far superior to ordinary methods.

His sense of danger is much stronger than that of a normal D-level immortal player, and it is very difficult to block or deceive him.

'Is someone trying to get me?'

Cao Yu immediately stopped flying, covered his entire body with the "Immortal Slaying Spell," and reminded Yang Chan beside him, "Activate defense."

Yang Chan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, summoned the calico cat, and condensed the "White Flower".

At that moment, the air within a radius of two hundred meters suddenly stagnated; the gas stopped flowing, and the wind stopped blowing.

An immense pressure, both physical and mental, pressed down on Cao Yu and Yang Chan like a mountain.

Under immense pressure, the surrounding area seemed to freeze in time.

Fortunately, both Cao Yu and Yang Chan possessed astonishing defensive techniques, and both managed to block this primordial spirit power.

Yes, based on his spiritual perception through his immortal pathway, Cao Yu discerned that this was the primordial spirit power of the B zone.

When a player merges their essence, energy, and spirit into one, and the three flowers converge at the top of their head, they can achieve the primordial spirit and master various divine powers.

What just crushed down on the two of them was a telekinetic force simulated by their primordial spirit.

Telekinesis is merely the most rudimentary application of the primordial spirit.

But being superficial does not mean being weak.

That heavy pressure, if it had been applied to ordinary spirits or ghosts, would have crushed a large number of them in an instant.

If an ordinary D-level player is enveloped by the power of the primordial spirit, not only will their body be unable to move, but their thinking will also become sluggish and their thoughts will be difficult to process, just like a fish on a chopping board.

Unfortunately, the enemy chose the wrong target.

Suddenly! A new change occurred.

A thin, almost invisible, translucent fishing line extended towards Cao Yu, moving so fast that the naked eye couldn't react, and instantly touched him. Then... the tip of the fishing line shattered and disappeared.

*Pfft*—Cao Yu raised his hand and chopped off another section of the fishing line.

Upon seeing this, the enemy, whose whereabouts were unknown, quickly reeled in the fishing line.

At this moment, the sky suddenly turned fiery red, and a sea of ​​fire surged in the sky. Countless huge fireballs appeared one after another, like a torrential rain falling on Cao Yu's location. With just one strike, the force field of "Spirit Control of Ten Thousand Movements" was shattered, blasting Cao Yu and Yang Chan to the ground at the same time.

With a deafening roar, Cao Yu and Yang Chan fell to the edge of a park. Flames accompanied them as they crashed to the ground, engulfing a large, deserted area and creating a massive scorched crater in the ground.

The damaged concrete surface nearby exhibited vitrification under high temperatures.

However, after the smoke and dust were dispersed by the irregular gale, Cao Yu and Yang Chan appeared unharmed in the pit.

Yang Chan had expended a lot of mental energy, and it was clear that she was not as relaxed as Cao Yu when she was defending herself.

Cao Yu's spiritual perception quickly locked onto three locations.

Figures quickly appeared from these three locations, arriving at the edge of the pit almost simultaneously. Their gazes fell on Cao Yu and Yang Chan, scanning them back and forth, their eyes filled with deep horror.

At the same time, the people in these three directions looked at each other, all surprised by the arrival of the other.

Cao Yu immediately concluded that these people were not a group.

It must have been a coincidence that they all came to cause him trouble and bumped into each other.

Cao Yuxian looked to his left and saw a man and a woman—a middle-aged man in a wheelchair and a long-haired woman pushing the wheelchair behind him.

"Zhang Lichuan?"

Cao Yu squinted and recognized the person who had come.

An Li had shown him relevant information—this middle-aged man in a wheelchair was named Zhang Lichuan, and he was one of the Federation's strongest elite units.

Zhang Lichuan is not a B-level player; his evolution level has only reached 51%. He has not yet experienced a B-level matchmaking instance to officially upgrade his player level.

Even among the strongest tier, he is considered relatively weak.

In addition, he also has an "evolutionary disease"... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the weakest of the strongest tier.

"Oh?" Zhang Lichuan, in his wheelchair, asked curiously, "I don't remember ever appearing in the media, at most I'm just well-known... You know me?"

"You've reached the B-level of your evolutionary level and are considered crippled. You're the only one in the entire Federation who has achieved this, so you're quite easy to recognize."

Although Cao Yu didn't use a sarcastic tone, his words were almost entirely sarcastic: "A few rumors can lure you here. It seems that the 'evolutionary disease' is about to kill you, making you start to grasp at straws in desperation. A cripple is a cripple, an impatient thing."

"...Heh, rumors? My C-grade item couldn't even touch you just now. I think those rumors are not only not exaggerated, but actually underestimate you."

Zhang Lichuan narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming deep and dangerous.

The long-haired woman standing behind him immediately turned cold and reprimanded Cao Yu in a low voice:
"How dare you be so disrespectful to Mr. Zhang... Kneel down!"

Her voice seemed to possess some kind of powerful binding force, instantly traversing dozens of meters to reach Cao Yu... but it was of no use.

The long-haired woman looked surprised.

Cao Yu was too lazy to pay attention and simply ignored the trash's clamor and surprise.

His cold gaze turned to his right—where another middle-aged man stood, sporting striking short, fiery red hair.

Cao Yu recognized the other party's identity—Wang Yuan, deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau of Sishan City, a player who was about to reach the strongest tier.

"Wang Yuan? Your arrival is quite unexpected."

"..."

Wang Yuan's expression was quite grim.

He thought it was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, such a surprise occurred... Cao Yu's strength far exceeded his expectations.

The sea of ​​fire that appeared in the sky just now was his doing.

Before this, Cao Yu had already deflected two rounds of attacks from Zhang Lichuan... They joined forces and even used C-level items, yet the opponent, a mere D-level player, was able to block them without taking any damage?

Could all those rumors circulating online be true?

Wang Yuan realized he might have bitten off more than he could chew, and his attitude immediately softened:

"I'm here just to get the truth. I want to know if Wang Cheng's death has anything to do with you. Also... your position was offered to me by Director Jiang of your Meishan District Branch."

"Wang Yuan! What do you mean...!" A roar came from afar: "You're actually breaking the agreement!?"

A figure approached from afar and came to the edge of the pit.

It was Jiang He, whom Cao Yu had met at the Meishan District Branch not long ago.

Jiang He's face was as black as coal, clearly not expecting this to happen.

Cao Yu's gaze fell on Jiang He, and he said with a clear understanding in his eyes:
"I see. When we met before, did you mark me with some kind of item? That's why you could lock onto my location in real time... The power of players is truly unpredictable."

"I was also drawn here by Director Jiang's intelligence."

Zhang Lichuan then joined the conversation, laughing:
"It seems Director Jiang not only notified me, but also others. What, is he trying to use us to eliminate his faction's enemies?"

Jiang He: "..."

These bastards... none of them are trustworthy!
At the same time, Cao Yu's gaze fell on what was directly in front of him—there stood three male players, all of whom, judging from their aura, were D-level players.

"Director Jiang really doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables, he's not picky at all," Cao Yu said. "He notified everyone, from the strongest team to D-level players... It seems Director Jiang's hatred for me is quite intense."

"Cao Yu! Did you kill my son Liu Xiong?"

Of the three D-level players, the leader was named Liu Neng. He angrily shouted:
"We've ruled out all suspects, and now you're the prime suspect!"

"Oh? So it's just the Liu family scum." Cao Yu grinned. "Three veteran D-level players, so the whole family's main force has been mobilized? Tsk tsk... If you're all dead, will the Liu family become nothing more than stray dogs on the roadside?"

"So it really was you who killed him!" Liu Neng roared, "You..."

"Cao Yu, I guess I'm out of luck this time. I admit defeat."

Jiang He suddenly spoke, interrupting Liu Neng's angry rebuke. He looked at Cao Yu and said:

"I did mark you with a prop and provided them with your location information in real time."

"Admit defeat?" Cao Yu looked at Jiang He: "What are you trying to say?"

Jiang He adopted a humble attitude and replied:

"Your strength has exceeded all our expectations... In short, at our level, hostility is only temporary; only interests are eternal. You can make any demands you want; I am willing to pay any price just to reconcile this matter."

"Reconciliation? At this moment?" Cao Yu laughed, "Are you joking?"

"..." Jiang He warned, "I admit you have extremely high player potential. But... you don't actually think you can take me down at the D-rank level, do you?"

He pointed to the three D-level players from the Liu family and said:

"You can kill any of those three people you want, and I'll cover it up for you. But our relationship... I advise you to think it over carefully."

Upon hearing this, before Cao Yu could say anything, Liu Neng and the other two's expressions turned ugly.

They're already thinking of running away.

Good news, the enemy has been found.

Bad news... This enemy seems capable of crushing them.

Jiang He is such a jerk!

"Keep it a secret for me? What a pity, you can't hide it anymore." Cao Yu looked at Jiang He and said, "I think someone already passed on my information after discovering my true strength."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Lichuan and asked:

"Right? Crippled."

“…” Zhang Lichuan frowned and asked, “How did you find out?”

"Why don't you ask yourself why you chose to tattle on someone immediately?"

Cao Yu tentatively countered with a question:
"You came to me to find a way to solve the 'evolutionary disease,' right? Logically, after realizing my strength, you should have immediately proposed a peaceful solution. But instead, you chose to transmit information right away... Don't you think that's very unusual?"

“This is an order from the three major families,” Zhang Lichuan said. “Once a player with extremely high potential is discovered, it must be reported immediately.”

"Alright, I'll ask you another way," Cao Yu said. "You're one of the strongest members, so why are you so obedient to the three major families? Don't you think your behavior is like that of a dog?"

"..."

Zhang Lichuan frowned, as if he had been stumped by the question.

This conversation instilled a sense of dread in everyone present.

Yes...why?
"Cao Yu!" Wang Yuan suddenly shouted, "Did you have anything to do with Wang Cheng's death?"

Whether it matters or not is no longer important.

Cao Yu's tone suddenly calmed down.

It was eerily calm.

He hadn't anticipated being besieged like this—he truly hadn't expected that Jiang He, with whom he'd had little interaction from beginning to end, would suddenly launch such a massive attack.

Admittedly, he has recently become somewhat arrogant and has overlooked the small troubles lurking in the shadows.

However… in the end, Jiang He was just a trigger. These crises and conflicts already existed and were bound to erupt sooner or later; Jiang He simply ignited them prematurely.

Now, he has been exposed.

Remedial measures are no longer meaningful.

If you want to protect your loved ones, there is only one way to break the deadlock: accumulate 9 achievement points as quickly as possible, buy the B-grade item "Gate to Two Worlds", go to the outside world, and temporarily get away from the Federation's vortex.

And the fastest way to accumulate achievement points...

"It's not important anymore?" Wang Yuan frowned and asked after hearing Cao Yu's words, "What do you mean?"

"My meaning is very simple,"

Cao Yu's calm expression vanished, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes, and a ferocious smile appeared on his lips:
"Today, all of you will die, and none of you will escape."

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

The fastest way to build reputation is naturally to crush the Four Mountains Special Affairs Bureau with overwhelming force, spreading fear and infamy throughout the entire Federation.

"Little sister," Cao Yu called out.

Yang Chan understood and immediately had the calico cat condense a "black flower," which applied a huge boost to Cao Yu.

As Cao Yu felt the surge in power, he glanced at the system panel—[Achievement Points: 30102].

Great, you've already surpassed 3 achievement points.

Reach 9 today!
