I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 127 The Players' World is Too Cunning

Cao Yu and his two companions quickly crossed the circular plaza and headed towards the group of buildings to the east.

Upon arriving at the outer area, the first building that comes into view has a huge billboard hanging from its top. The billboard features two hands, one with an open palm and the other making a scissor shape, positioned side by side as if facing each other.

"This... looks like rock-paper-scissors?" Su Mei asked in surprise, "Such a simple game like rock-paper-scissors can be included in dungeon competitions?"

"Perhaps the rules are different," Luo Feng guessed. "With a D-level player's keen senses and speed, plus the strange and wonderful abilities of their items, winning a rock-paper-scissors game shouldn't be difficult. I think... it shouldn't be an ordinary rock-paper-scissors game."

"Let's go in and take a look," Cao Yu said.

There are many buildings in this instance, and so far only the three of them have arrived at the entrance of the rock-paper-scissors arena.

Just as Cao Yu was about to push the door open and enter, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look into the distance.

Seeing this, Su Mei and Luo Feng also looked in the direction of his gaze.

In their field of vision, they saw Xiao Fan being chased by three players.

They all looked surprised... They had just entered the instance and hadn't even started exploring when some players wanted to resort to violence?

"These guys are incredibly bold...!" Su Mei exclaimed, "They started attacking as soon as the dungeon opened? How rude!"

She didn't offer to go and help.

Although Xiao Fan and she came from the same place, she wouldn't have ended up having to leave her hometown if it weren't for this guy's influence.

Originally, she agreed to team up with Xiao Fan because he was honest and willing to sincerely admit his mistakes, and because they were from the same hometown.

As soon as another male player joined the team, Xiao Fan couldn't help but reveal his true nature... What a trashy personality!

She had seen through the other person and naturally wouldn't act foolishly again.

the other side.

The three people who were chasing Xiao Fan realized that something was wrong.

"Brother, there's something strange about this kid!" The tattooed man with ferocious patterns on his arms frowned and said, "Judging from the aura he exuded during the battle, his evolution level is clearly only around 20%, yet his speed is faster than ours?"

“There’s no sign of him activating any items. He’s a Celestial player… he must have cultivated some kind of special technique.” The bald man, addressed as Big Brother, had a glimmer of hope in his eyes: “People who can cultivate special techniques are all quite talented. We’ve struck gold this time! Same old method, you guys restrain him, I’ll control him!”

"it is good!"

Next to the bald man, a muscular man responded.

The muscular man activated a Class D item as he ran:
"Forced arithmetic".

The next second, Xiao Fan, who was running, suddenly slowed down.

He felt a flood of math problems popping into his head, and he had an uncontrollable urge to analyze and calculate them... This caused his concentration to become severely scattered, and for a moment he couldn't care less about running and escaping. It was as if calculating these problems was his mission, and he couldn't do anything else until he solved them.

At this moment, the tattooed man, following closely behind the muscular man, also activated a Class D item:
"Deep-sea bondage".

His props simulated the immense environmental pressure of the deep sea, directly enveloping Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan suddenly felt like he was stuck in a quagmire, and even moving his fingers became difficult. The heavy pressure seemed to be crushing his chest.

He murmured with difficulty:

"Eight-clawed Soul-Eater".

The next instant, with the activation of the D-rank item, eight thick, pitch-black tentacles grew from his back.

These tentacles emit an unpleasant, nauseating odor, and upon contact with the air, they directly corrode the fine dust particles floating in the air, creating thick smoke out of thin air.

At the same time, the tentacles corroded a large hole in the "deep-sea pressure" released by the tattooed man, giving Xiao Fan the ability to move again.

Xiao Chen manipulated three of the tentacles to extend their length and attack the bald man, tattooed man, and muscular man chasing behind him.

Distracted by him, the tattooed man and the muscular man had no choice but to reduce their control over the props and take defensive action.

Taking advantage of this opening, Xiao Fan manipulated the remaining five tentacles to support himself on the ground, and suddenly launched himself away, flying a long distance to escape the attack range of the tattooed man and the muscular man's props.

If possible, Xiao Fan actually didn't want to activate this item.

Although the tentacles are incredibly powerful, capable of corroding not only matter but even souls, the cost of using this item is considerable.

The dungeon has only just begun, and he doesn't want to expend a lot of mental energy so early.

After landing, Xiao Fan frowned deeply, pondering a way to break the deadlock.

Just then, he saw Cao Yu and the other two in the distance.

'Yes! '

Xiao Fan's lips curled up.

Although Su Mei betrayed him and didn't deserve his forgiveness, she had already chosen death. He could never rejoin Cao Yu and the other two's group.

But... it's still possible to use these three people to help him share the danger.

'With my level 9 cultivation aptitude, I'm destined for a rise and will secure a place at node 09. I can't afford to fail here!'

After making the decision, Xiao Fan quickly ran towards Cao Yu and the other two to begin the process of luring the monsters.

At the same time, the bald man's face showed anger after seeing Xiao Fan's behavior:

"Damn! He can run pretty fast!"

"Brother, it seems like he wants to meet up with the people over there... Could it be that they're together?" the tattooed man suggested.

Upon hearing this, the bald man sensed it carefully for a moment, then sneered:
"Just three pieces of trash! Chase them! This kid's item is a bit troublesome, but he can't outlast us. You all know what my item is. As long as you can restrain him, then he will... no, all four of them will become ours! Then, with our seven-person team, we can dominate this dungeon!"

The bald man's words were like a stimulant to his two teammates.

The three of them disregarded their own energy expenditure and accelerated their pursuit.

the other side.

When Su Mei and Luo Feng saw Xiao Fan change his escape route and run towards them, their expressions immediately turned grim.

Luo Feng was obviously faking it.

At the same time, Cao Yu feigned an unpleasant expression. However, his inner emotions were the opposite of what he showed on his face; anticipation welled up within him… What kind of item would he obtain this time?

"Help me!" Xiao Fan shouted as he ran.

"Shameless bastard!" Su Mei couldn't help but curse.

Xiao Fan ignored Su Mei's angry glare and shouted as he ran:

"That bald guy has mind control devices. You're all so weak, he definitely won't let you go! Join me in attacking, otherwise if I keep bothering you, nobody will get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

Mind control tools?

What level?

"That bastard!" Su Mei disregarded their shared hometown sentiment and cursed directly.

"Prepare for battle!" Luo Feng suddenly said.

Su Mei, who was about to retreat, paused and asked, "Aren't we going to run? The other side seems difficult to deal with, and they even have mind control items."

The three pursuing players exuded extremely powerful spiritual auras, clearly indicating that they had reached the limit of their D-level evolution.

Although there are four of them, including Xiao Fan, their evolution levels are not high, and the aura they exhibit is only around 20%, which puts them at a great disadvantage in battle.

If it devolves into a war of attrition, they will surely be the ones to lose.

"Don't worry, Miss Su. Actually, our team is quite strong, not as simple as you think."

A smile appeared on Luo Feng's face.

He was laughing wildly inside.

He had been feigning weakness all along, and finally... finally, his chance to show his true abilities had arrived!
In fact, his evolution level had already reached 31%, which was enough to match C-level dungeons.

Moreover, he is a superhuman player, and his superpower is number 95, the Realm of Meditation—superpowers with numbers in the top 100 are not simple.

Those above 200 are lower serial numbers.

The numbers from 200 to 100 are in the middle sequence.

The top 100 are all high-order numbers.

As a high-ranking superpower user, his strength was already outstanding, and he was also equipped with C-rank items that matched his superpowers... In short, his power far surpassed that of ordinary D-rank players.

He can easily dominate even the weakest players in D-level dungeons.

As for why he didn't try to advance to C-level... a person has to have some aspirations in life.

His pursuit is to show off. And he shows off in a more sophisticated way by using "contrast".

The reason he disguised himself as an ordinary D-level player on the spirit boat, patiently talked and got to know Su Mei and the others, and formed a team was so that when his teammates encountered danger, he could suddenly step forward, use his powerful strength to turn the tide, and rescue his teammates from dire straits, thus completing a "contrasting display of power".

Good heavens! This guy who seemed so unremarkable was actually a big shot... Just thinking about the shocked expressions Su Mei and Cao Yu would show later, and the complicated looks they would give him, Luo Feng felt a sense of relief.

cool!

Hehe, he's about to start showing off!

Just then, Cao Yu's voice reached Luo Feng's ears:

"You have a good eye. I acted so ordinary, yet you still saw through my disguise."

Luo Feng: "?"

A bad feeling welled up in Luo Feng's heart.

His premonition soon came true.

They saw that Xiao Fan, who was running away, had come within twenty meters of them.

Suddenly! Xiao Fan abruptly slammed on the brakes, forcing himself to stop in place—his sixth sense as a celestial player was frantically warning him, a sense of extreme danger welling up inside him, a chill running down his spine as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

what's the situation! ?

Where is the danger...?
The next instant, Xiao Fan lost his ability to think.

His body split vertically in two, crashing to the ground, splattering blood and staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

he died.

Xiao Qi, who had teleported over, chopped him down with a scythe.

On Xiao Fan's body, torn in two, remained an expression of disbelief. He seemed completely unprepared for the sudden death of someone who, since becoming a player, had always managed to escape danger... He didn't even know who killed him or how he was killed before he died...

at the same time.

Cao Yu received a notification that a D-level item had been inherited.

This means that Xiao Fan is dead beyond any doubt.

He won't hold back when it comes to anyone who dares to invite trouble. Regardless of whether it will cause any harm, they have to bear the consequences.

'Xiao Fan managed to escape from three veteran D-rank players and even lure monsters... Even if I didn't intervene, Luo Feng would probably have jumped in to help... So, could this guy really have some protagonist's destiny?'

Cao Yu's thinking went astray.

He quickly gathered his scattered thoughts and focused his gaze on the three bald men who were chasing after him.

The bald man had stopped, his mind filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The tattooed man and the muscular man next to him also stopped and looked on in disbelief.

How could someone suddenly die?
what's the situation?
Luo Feng and Su Mei had their own guesses—Cao Yu had just said something inexplicable when Xiao Fan was cleaved in two by an unknown force… Something just wasn’t right about their teammate!
Cao Yu walked towards the three bald men, saying as he went:
"You dare to attack my teammates? I'm sure you've already prepared yourselves for what's to come."

"Boss, something's not right!" the tattooed man warned. "Should we retreat?"

"Retreat!" the bald man decided immediately.

Unfortunately, they had already triggered Cao Yu's killing pattern, and it was too late to retreat now.

"Brother Cao, I'm here to help you!"

Luo Feng suddenly shouted.

He had already deduced in his mind that Cao Yu was not a simple player.

But today, he has to put on a show!

He had planned all along for this moment, how could he miss it?

"Battlefield of Fear!"

Luo Feng shouted and activated a C-level item.

A vast field was born.

The three bald men, now enveloped in the gloom, were suddenly overwhelmed by a terrifying sense of dread.

Their expressions were contorted with fear, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, as if they had lost the ability to move.

At the same time, Luo Feng activated the "Meditative Domain".

This superpower, number 95, primarily manifests the fears of others as mental monsters, summoning them into reality to aid the user in battle.

The stronger the fear, the more amplified the summoned monsters will be in all attributes.

From the three bald men, one could see that enormous spirit monsters were emerging.

The first creature to emerge was a huge lion, whose roar created a mental shockwave.

"Damn! Someone's stealing my kill..." Upon seeing this, Cao immediately sped up.

He stomped on the ground and shot out like a cannonball.

He quickly pulled the three bald men into his 20-meter attack range.

Xiao Qi teleported over, enlarged the scythe, and unleashed the "Immortal Slaying Curse" and the "Eternal Wound Curse" simultaneously, instantly cleaving the three bald men in two at the waist.

Six pieces of corpses crashed to the ground, and Cao Yu received a notification that three items had been inherited.

After killing the man, Cao Yu quickly returned to the rock-paper-scissors hall and his gaze fell on Luo Feng.

Luo Feng took a step back.

Although Su Mei wasn't being watched, she instinctively took a step back.

After a few seconds of silence, Luo Feng chuckled awkwardly twice and said:
“Brother Cao, there might be some misunderstanding between us... In short, I have no ill intentions towards you.”

"What is your purpose in faking your strength?" Cao Yu asked.

"Ahem... just to show off," Luo Feng replied truthfully.

Cao Yu: "..."

Considering Luo Feng's behavior of shouting when activating the item... this guy probably wasn't lying.

So, he wasn't actually exposed?

Was Luo Feng's earlier statement, "Our team is not simple," a prelude to his boastful behavior?

Ah this...

How could there be such a weirdo?

"Don't worry, we're teammates." Cao Yu laughed. "Why did you back away when you saw me? I was just there to avenge Xiao Fan."

"Ahem... Brother Cao, your fighting style is a bit intimidating. So... it's all a misunderstanding," Luo Feng replied with a smile.

"You two...you're both so amazing." Su Mei's face showed shock, and her eyes were complicated.

"It's here, it's here, this is the taste..." Luo Feng revealed a satisfied expression.

After working so hard for so long, we've finally achieved something.

He simply waved his hand, and the spirit lion in the distance immediately approached him.

Upon seeing this, Cao asked, "The Realm of Meditation?"

"Oh? Brother Cao is quite knowledgeable." Luo Feng nodded.

Monsters manifested by the "Meditation Domain" will not disappear in a short period of time.

Moreover, if he so desires, he can incorporate it into his spirit, allowing it to remain permanently.

The only downside is that he can only retain a limited number of monster slots.

This lion is quite capable; he intends to stay.

Cao Yu glanced at his player panel and checked the newly acquired items—3 D-grade items and 1 C-grade item.

Among them, the C-grade item is a mind control type and is called "Scarlet Eye".

While its effects are not as convenient as the D-rank item "Word of Power" for use in real-time combat, "Crimson Eye" is undoubtedly far superior in terms of "mind control."

It just so happens to be the prop he needs.
