I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 132: Not a family, don’t enter the same family
On the way to the shooting range, Cao Yu chatted with the three sisters in detail and learned their names and some basic information.

The punk girl is the leader, named Xu Yuechu, and is a demi-human player.

The girl in ancient costume is the second oldest, named Xu Yuexuan, a player who is a celestial being.

The literary girl is the third child, named Xu Yueluo, a super player.

The names of the three children gave Cao Yu the impression that their parents, when naming them, were too lazy to think, looked up at the moon, and simply chose three names based on the time the moon is visible... In short, it seemed rather casual.

"...So, your combined skill is based on immortal cultivation techniques? Not some kind of item or superpower?" Cao Yu was a little surprised.

"That's right. The fusion is led by me."

Xu Yuexuan said in a serious tone:

"I am a genius of unparalleled talent, and I have perfected the Returning Origin Sword Technique. Although Fairy Fire Phoenix and Fairy Treasure are not weak in talent, compared with me, they are like fireflies compared to the bright moon, not worth mentioning. It is an honor for them to become my vassals."

"Second sister, you son of a bitch... don't force me to teach you a lesson right now, I'll make you a brain-dead idiot!" Xu Yuechu's temper flared up immediately.

"Second sister is daydreaming again, sigh... how pathetic," Xu Yueluo said sarcastically.

It was obvious that the three sisters did not get along well.

"What does 'Fire Phoenix Fairy' mean?" Cao Yu asked.

He figured it out: the second sister, Xu Yuexuan, was a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and her thought process was a bit abnormal. If he asked her questions... well, she probably wouldn't refuse to answer, but she would just say it in a rather chuunibyou way.

He could understand what Fairy Duobao meant... Xu Yueluo's superpower was number 68, the legendary divine weapon, and she must have already manifested many magical treasures and weapons with this ability.

Calling her "Duobao" would be quite appropriate.

This fire phoenix...

"The Fire Wind Fairy possesses the bloodline of the ancient demon god 'Wildfire Phoenix,' and has already begun to awaken it," Xu Yuexuan commented. "Although she follows the barbaric path of demon ascension, it has its merits. If she persists, given time, she might very well become an immortal. It's a pity..."

She gently shook her head:
"In the end, they are just wild creatures with fur and horns, born from eggs in the wet. Even if they become immortals, they can only become inferior immortals and will not attain the Great Dao."

Cao Yu: "..."

This means that Xu Yuechu's extraordinary genetic bloodline is "Wildfire Phoenix"... He opened the system store and searched, and he actually found it. Moreover, the price was not low, a full 50 achievement points. It also had very high requirements for genetic bloodline adaptability, so it couldn't be used immediately after purchase.

Oh... so these three sisters are actually all geniuses?
Their parents were truly blessed with good fortune, not only raising three geniuses, but also triplets...

On the other side, after hearing Xu Yuexuan's words, Xu Yuechu no longer got angry easily and wrote everything down in his mind.

She can't act now, but once she leaves the instance, she'll make her second sister truly understand what the authority of an elder sister is!

"By the way, brother, have you heard of the 'no-return-to-town aggregation rule'?" the third brother, Su Yueluo, suddenly asked.

"What?" Cao Yu asked curiously.

"People who possess the trait of not returning to town will attract each other and have a high probability of meeting under the guidance of fate."

Xu Yueluo smiled sweetly and said:

"Brother, you first met this Mr. Luofeng, and then you met us in the dungeon... Brother, have you ever thought that you are actually very suitable to join the No Return City?"

"..." Cao Yu: "That's not true."

Those guys who don't return to town are a bunch of lunatics!

You actually think he's suitable to join?

What do you mean?
Is he some kind of obsessed person?

Furthermore, he wasn't the only one who had this experience; Su Mei had too.

Cao Yu glanced at Su Mei and noticed that she frequently showed signs of worry, as if she were a husky that had wandered into a pack of wolves, feeling lost and anxious about her future.

“What Fairy Duobao said is not unfounded.”

At this moment, the second brother, Xu Yuexuan, joined the conversation and explained to Cao Yu:
"Rumor has it that the 'Lord of No Return City' has set a rule of destiny, a rule that applies throughout the entire Evolution Game. It will, in the unseen realm, draw those with special qualities to join No Return City. As for those without special qualities…"

She glanced at Su Mei:

"It might just be a coincidence."

Su Mei: "..."

Do you think I want to be treated like a lunatic...? She wasn't angry at Xu Yuexuan's slightly condescending attitude; on the contrary, she was delighted.

Being considered a normal person by a pervert is a compliment to her.

"Your 'Lord of No Return' is that powerful?" Cao Yu asked in surprise. "You actually have the power of a player that can influence the entire Evolution Game?"

"Brother, we don't know the specifics either, but based on past experience, there's a chance this rule might exist."

Xu Yueluo said:
"As for the 'Lord of No Return'... I heard my father say that among players, reaching 100% evolution level means that one has bound their own spatial world and can be crowned a king. Going further will transcend the definition of a player, and I heard it is related to binding one's own storyline... In short, the 'Lord of No Return' is such an existence."

As he concluding his own storyline, Cao Yu suddenly thought of the small portion of "dungeon sovereignty" he had gained from the S-level rating when he was an E-level player.

According to the information he had, complete "copy sovereignty" was the foundation for concluding the storyline.

he asked:
"Able to manipulate space and time, is this 'Lord of No Return' a god?"

“Definitely not,” Xu Yueluo denied. “The ‘Lord of No Return’ is still within the evolution game. And Dad said that gods are beings that transcend players and games. But I don’t know the specifics.”

After answering, she invited:

"Brother, do you want to join No Return City? We can go robbery together in the future!"

Cao Yu: "..."

This was the first time in his life he had been invited to rob someone, which made him feel a bit complicated... Did he look like a robber?

"We've arrived," Cao Yu said.

The group of six arrived at the entrance of the shooting range.

Cao Yu ended the conversation and pushed open the door to enter the shooting range.

The moment he entered, he received a game notification that the item was restricted from use.

He said to the crowd following behind him, "Let's proceed according to plan."

Everyone nodded.

Xu Yuelu handed a precious mirror to Su Mei, reminding her, "Sister, use this mirror in the competition later. It's called the Mirror of Misfortune, and one of its functions is to easily lock onto targets, which will help with shooting."

This precious mirror is not a prop, but a creation of her superpowers, and therefore its use is not restricted by the dungeon rules.

"Thank you," Su Mei said gratefully, feeling flattered.

Among those present, she and Cao Yu had the lowest evolution levels, while the other four had reached 31%. Their player techniques had a large area of ​​effect, and their grasp of pistol duels was much higher than hers and Cao Yu's.

At this moment, Cao Yu had already met with the owner of the shooting range.

The owner of the museum is not human, but a huge eagle-man—he has a human-sized body enlarged to scale, but with a huge eagle head on his neck and a pair of folded wings on his back.

The eagle-man addressed Cao Yu and the others:

"Once you're on my turf, you have to participate in a pistol duel. Don't worry, there's no penalty for failure here; if you lose, you can just leave."

What a treacherous fellow… everyone thought to themselves.

Although there is no penalty for failure, there are certain things to be done during the competition... This treacherous eagle-man can pull out a cannon and use it as a pistol, and each blast can cover an area of ​​tens or even hundreds of meters. The power is astonishing, and it is quite difficult for ordinary D-level players to survive without the protection of items.

"follow me."

The eagle-man didn't waste any words and immediately led the way.

Cao Yu and his six companions were soon led into a small town.

Although they already knew the size of the arena, the group of six was still somewhat surprised when they saw the town in front of them.

I never expected the shooting range to have such a large open-air area inside; you can't tell at all from the outside... Could it be that the interior space has been stretched?

Whoosh... A huge wind howled, and a storm was raging through the town.

The outer area of ​​the storm was filled with a group of strange creatures watching, just like the rock-paper-scissors arena before; they were witnesses to the competition.

Cao Yu looked into the storm's interior and could vaguely see a wide street.

The Eagle Man then began to explain the details of the competition:

"The rules are simple: come with me into the storm, stand at opposite ends of the street, and duel with pistols."

The audience will count down for us, and after the countdown, we'll draw our guns and shoot at each other. Whoever hits the other first wins.

During the competition, participants are only allowed to move within the designated area and cannot approach or attack each other. Furthermore, any external assistance from third parties is prohibited; failure to do so will result in automatic defeat.

After saying that, he gave Cao Yu and the other six a provocative look:

"Which of you comes first?"

"I'll go first," Su Mei said.

She is the weakest, and the longer this drags on, the worse it will be for the eagle-man once he becomes prepared.

Luo Feng and the three sisters had no objections upon hearing this.

They were all confident in their abilities and wouldn't try to take the lead over Su Mei in such matters.

At this moment, Cao Yu stepped forward and said, "I'll go first."

Su Mei was surprised for a moment, then replied, "Okay."

Cao Yu walked up to the eagle-man and asked with a smile, "Are you sure the competition rules are only what you just mentioned?"

“Of course.” The eagle-man pointed to a table not far away, on which lay two pistols:

"See? We all use the same guns. It's completely fair and just."

I have to say, this eagle-man is quite the actor.

If players didn't know beforehand that he would cheat, they might actually be fooled by him and believe his nonsense that "the pistols are the same."

Cao Yu maintained his smile, and then... summoned Xiao Qi.

*Thud*—The eagle-man's hands, feet, ten fingers, and ten toes were all cut off.

"what……!!"

The eagle-man let out a scream.

This scene shocked everyone.

Oh... You've already crippled your opponent's limbs before the competition even starts?

Is this even possible?

The three sisters became excited upon seeing this.

The most excited one was Xu Yueluo, who kept shouting "Fight! Fight!" like a tinderbox.

The eagle-man immediately spread his wings, flew into the air, created distance, and glared angrily at Cao Yu:
"You trash...! How dare you attack me... Hmph, other players have done this before, and today I'll show you what the consequences are!"

After he finished speaking, more than a dozen giant pistol-shaped cannons suddenly appeared behind him, including plasma cannons, laser cannons, elemental cannons... thirteen different cannon weapons, all aimed at Cao Yu at the same time.

The eagle-man grinned maliciously:
"Your Eagle Lord's 'pistol' can be controlled with your mind! Now that you've attacked me, I can retaliate! And with this little finger injury, do you think I, Eagle Lord, can... uh!?"

The eagle-man suddenly discovered that neither his finger nor toe injuries could heal on their own.

Realizing something was wrong, he quickly used his mind to control the thirteen cannons behind him.

A large amount of energy is gathered together.

He intends to blow Cao Yu up here.

The next instant, all the cannons behind him malfunctioned, as if they had jammed.

Cao Yu then leaped into the air. Just as he was about to land, Xiao Qi teleported in, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and threw him forward. The powerful force propelled him rapidly toward the eagle-man, closing the distance between them in one fell swoop.

Once the distance was within 20 meters, Xiao Qi teleported over and, within a second, shattered all the cannons behind the eagle man into pieces.

Under the pull of gravity, Cao Yu fell back to the ground.

Eagleman was kicked to the ground by Xiaoqi, crashing down in front of Cao Yu, looking disheveled.

The next second, Xiao Qi teleported back to Cao Yu's shoulder, crouched down like a cat, and chuckled:
"Grass carp, grass carp, can I kill it? I really want the eagle's wings."

"What do you need wings for?" Cao Yu asked.

"If I stick wings on you, grass carp, you'll become a flying fish. Flying fish... flying fish... useless fish... hehe..."

Xiaoqi's words contained a provocative undertone.

It seems to be mocking him for being useless because he has to rely on the Immortal Transformation to fly after losing his props.

'It seems my recent lack of communication with her, and my treating her like a tool, has upset her again.'

Cao Yu deduced this, but didn't pay attention to it for the time being.

Kids are like that; once you give them a good scolding, they'll behave.

Cao Yu crouched down, grabbed the eagle-man by the neck, lifted him up, and asked, "Are you afraid of dying?"

"Hmph... You think you can threaten me into deliberately losing to you? No way!" the eagle-man roared. "Killing me won't help! The audience is watching, I'm not going to help you cheat."

"You're using a cannon like a pistol, and you have the nerve to accuse me of cheating?" Cao Yu said disdainfully.

"You cut off my fingers and toes right from the start, you're no good." Despite his pain, the eagle-man arrogantly replied, "I don't want to talk to you right now!"

Cao Yu seemed to be deep in thought.

His actions just now were to verify his guess.

'It seems the only way to get the winner's badge is through competition; threatening the gym leader won't work. Killing the gym leader... I'm afraid this shooting competition will be unavailable for now.'

'However, attacking the gym leader before the competition begins, thus diminishing their advantage, seems to be a legitimate competitive tactic?'

Attacking the gym leader will only result in a counterattack from the gym leader; there are no other penalties.

Even the spectators surrounding the storm seemed unsurprised and adopted a tacit acceptance of it.

In other words, as long as the player is strong enough to withstand the gym leader's counterattack, this method is compliant.

In this way, winning a competition where you are at a disadvantage becomes much easier.

Cao Yu put the eagle-man down and laughed:

"I now challenge you to a pistol duel."

“…Bastard!” the eagle-man cursed, but there was nothing he could do.

As the owner of the venue, he could not refuse the invitation to compete from someone who held a ticket.

So Cao Yu and Eagle Man each picked up a pistol from the table not far away and stepped into the storm.

After arriving at their respective activity areas, they began their duel.

The Eagleman's cannons and weapons were all destroyed, and now that he's lost his fingers, he can't even fire a gun... In an instant, he was so angry that his eyes turned green.

The spectators on the periphery of the storm ignored the eagle-man's predicament and immediately began the countdown:

"3, 2..."

Cao Yu took a moment to observe his surroundings—after entering the storm, he found that his vision had deteriorated, the visibility was extremely low, and he could only hear the howling wind and the countdown outside the arena; he could not hear any other sounds.

He released his spiritual vision... but the spiritual vision was also interfered with.

He looked ahead and could only make out the blurry figure of the eagle-man. He couldn't even be sure if there was any refraction.

The shooting conditions were extremely poor.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Eagle Man could hardly pull out cannons to cheat, let alone launch an attack with a pistol.

"...1."

The countdown is over.

The competition begins.

Cao Yu's lips curled slightly as he activated the "Life-Slaying Curse".

He used his hand as a knife, unleashing three spells simultaneously, severing the few seconds of the storm's impact on the town's streets.

The next instant, under the world's correction, all anomalies ceased.

The wind stopped howling, as if it had been paused.

All the information that the senses can obtain becomes normal.

Under the shocked gazes of Luo Feng, Su Mei, the three sisters, and the nearby spectators, Cao Yu raised his pistol, aimed at the Eagle Man, and bang... hit him with one shot.

……

After leaving the shooting range, apart from Cao Yu who remained relatively calm, Luo Feng and the others experienced significant emotional fluctuations and displayed various expressions.

The three sisters' faces and eyes were filled with excitement, as if Cao Yu's actions had prompted them to find the right way to pass the level.

The falling wind is awe-inspiring.

Su Mei was numb after being repeatedly overwhelmed by surprise... She now seriously doubted whether Cao Yu was really a D-level player.

Thanks to Cao Yu, all five of them easily obtained the winner's badge in this competition.

After all, with the Eaglemen unable to retaliate, all they needed to do was overcome the harsh environment, aim at the Eaglemen, and fire.

If one shot misses, then fire a few more.

While they couldn't stop the storm engulfing the town's streets like Cao Yu could, the superpowered artifact Xu Yueluo possessed, called the "Mirror of Karma," greatly reduced the difficulty of targeting the eagle-men.

"Where do we go next?" Su Mei asked.

"There's one badge left; it shouldn't be too difficult to get. However..."

Cao Yu seemed to be deep in thought and said:

"Collecting all 3 badges will only allow you to complete the main quest. If the side quest involves collecting even more badges... presumably, the shorter the time it takes to complete the collection, the higher the dungeon rating."

If we were to collect it ourselves, it would take quite a while.

Just to be on the safe side... let's spread the word first, so more players can get the badges.

Su Mei: "..."

So, are they planning a robbery?

It has to be said, the three Xu sisters have a really good eye for people!
Spreading information, lowering the difficulty of the game for players, and finally reaping profits... this was exactly the plan the three sisters initially executed.

Now Cao Yu and they are on the same page.
