Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

Siha——

The next moment, as he walked out of the room, a gust of cold wind blew into his arms.

Qin Shang’s face turned pale.

I couldn't help but subconsciously wrap my clothes tightly.

I secretly complained in my heart.

Damn, where is this Jiangcheng Monastery?

The background map in this copy is Jiangcheng in 1994. Don’t tell me that the place where Wu Shiqi and her lover live is some distance away from that place.

If that were the case, Qin Shang wouldn't know what means of transportation to take to get to Jiangcheng Monastery...

Fortunately, as soon as he left the room, he met an old NPC squatting on the roadside pushing a cart and selling roasted sweet potatoes.

The old man squatted on the cold curb, puffing away, holding a cigarette, his eyes constantly scanning the passing NPCs and other passers-by. Whenever someone looked at him, the old man would suddenly say, "Do you want some roasted sweet potatoes, warm and fragrant roasted sweet potatoes?" At this time, Qin Shang could not distinguish the difference between the NPCs and players in this dungeon.

Of course, he was sure that most of the other players did not have the ability to distinguish between NPCs and players in the current dungeon, but anyone who could set up a stall and sell things in this dungeon must be an NPC.

Thinking of this, Qin Shang quietly approached the old man and asked about the location of Jiangcheng Monastery.

Wu Shiqi lives in an urban village. Of course, in this era, even first-tier cities like Jiangcheng have not developed into modern metropolises. At most, they have a rudimentary form.

Most people live in these low bungalows or old residential buildings with a height of no more than five stories.

Hearing Qin Shang's request, the old man raised his hand and pointed in a direction. With his naked eyes, Qin Shang could see the Jiangcheng Monastery hidden in the fog in the night. Compared with other buildings of the same period, the monastery was indeed much more eye-catching.

The towering conical gatehouse has a castle-like design and an overall dark tone.

After expressing his gratitude, Qin Shang took big strides and walked towards the monastery.

On the way, I was thinking about what I might encounter after the main mission started.

Since it is a confrontational game, players also have to distinguish between camps. In order to maintain the balance mechanism, Shenlu will definitely divide the players who remain after the first confrontational game into groups of five and divide them into the camps of Wu Shiqi and the Monastery.

Balance mechanisms can be seen everywhere in the settings of the Shenlu server, and confrontational copies are no exception!

"Shadow is very likely to come to participate in this competitive game based on instinct, but he is still in a "mimicry" state and has not turned into a "humanoid" to truly devour me. Once he senses my presence appearing in the Jiangcheng Monastery, Shadow will follow me..."

"However, the dungeon will definitely not prepare an identity for him, because he is not a player at all. So when the competitive game is over, the eleventh person without an identity besides the ten players left in this dungeon is the 'Shadow'..."

Unfortunately, when Wu Shiqi left the room just now, Shenlu did not allow Qin Shang to move freely. Qin Shang was confined in the room and could not follow Wu Shiqi. Otherwise, he might be able to follow the woman and collect some information and clues.

If the person she was going to meet now was Dong Zhen, Qin Shang could also clarify what the relationship between Dong Zhen and Wu Shiqi was in the copy.

He also had a vague guess. He thought that the end of the confrontation game would be the turning point for the main mission, which would most likely be on the timeline in the copy... It was this trip today that made Wu Shiqi know the unspeakable secret of Jiangcheng Monastery. In other words, Wu Shiqi might go offline at any time and become weird.

But this is normal. If Qin Shang was Wu Shiqi's lover, he would have the ability to move freely from the beginning.

Isn't that definitely a benefit for him? As long as he follows Wu Shiqi, he might be able to find this woman in the background. He might wonder what she knew that brought about her fatal disaster. This would allow Qin Shang to get so many clues in advance, which is relatively unfair to other players.

Qin Shang's mind was busy while he was walking, and he didn't even notice how far he had walked. A moment later, when he looked up, he found that he had arrived at the gate of the monastery, which looked a little eerie in the night.

This place was deliberately chosen on a relatively high hill, and one has to walk up a winding flight of steps to reach the main entrance of the building.

I don’t know if the Divine Road specially castrated the NPCs nearby in order to open up competitive games for players or for some other reason, but Qin Shang could see several other NPCs in the city along the way.

As a result, when I walked up the stairs and reached the gate of the monastery, I couldn't see anyone.

And maybe because the terrain is higher than the other buildings in the urban village, Qin Shang can feel the surrounding water vapor getting thicker as he climbs the stairs. His vision is also somewhat obstructed, and there is a faint mist in the night...

At this moment, a rebellious voice came from the turning point of the blind spot on the other side of the monastery not far away.

"Oh, it's my freedom to step on your foot. I've already said I didn't notice it, which is equivalent to me apologizing to you, so it's also your freedom not to accept my apology, but it's also my freedom to not bother to continue this topic, and it's your freedom to hold me responsible, but it's also my freedom to let this matter go. If you insist on asking me to apologize to you, it's a pity that I can't say the three words "sorry" because it's also my freedom not to say sorry..."

Hearing this, Qin Shang was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice.

What a familiar opening line, this sense of unreasonableness is just right!

His heart skipped a beat, and a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind. He thought, no way?

Subconsciously, he quickened his pace and walked towards the side of the monastery building.

The next second, he saw someone he had never expected.

The tall Zheng Gongwei was leaning against the load-bearing wall of the monastery's side door, with a cigarette in his mouth and a wicked smile on his carefree face. He kept puffing away as if he was oblivious to everything around him.

"..."

Dude, are you here to show off your style?

That’s not right. Isn’t this guy sunbathing in the Maldives?

After confirming that it was indeed Young Master Ziyou, Qin Shang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He didn't have time to worry about why Young Master Zheng suddenly appeared in [No. 1 Cultivator].

Anyway, he could recognize that this guy was Zheng Gongwei at a glance.

Especially the insane mental state and neurotic remarks are genuine.

He could be sure that it was really him, and there was no way that he was being impersonated by someone in disguise or by something like a "shadow".

At this moment, after confirming that he was an acquaintance, Qin Shang began to hesitate about whether to go over and meet Master Zheng.

If the acquaintance you accidentally run into in the copy at this moment is Yin Shisan or Gou Gongzi.

Qin Shang would probably jump three meters high with joy, but when he met Zheng Gongwei, he could only sigh about his bad luck.

The main reason is that the character of this free young man is too crazy.

Many times, the driving force behind his actions is purely the unreasonable word "freedom", and the communication cost of persuading him to help you is not small.

Qin Shang was afraid that he would finish the dungeon immediately, and Zheng Gongwei said, "It is Shenlu's freedom to let you finish the dungeon, but it is also my freedom to be the first to brush this dungeon!"

Damn...

But if you think about it carefully, ever since joining the Corridor Bar, Master Zheng has also been taking good care of himself. Although their relationship is not as close as with Yin Shisan, Master Zheng was also a good brother who was willing to knock on Yin Shisan's door for Qin Shang when his men got into trouble in the middle of the night.

Qin Shang thought that the boss Zheng Gongwei had a good impression of him. If Master Zheng's appearance in this copy was just an accident and he was not called by Yin Shisan to help, then he would find an opportunity to explain the causes and consequences of Yin Shisan's accident in private later, and Master Zheng would not cause more trouble!

Of course, Qin Shang did not jump out immediately. He stood not far away and observed the situation silently with cold eyes.

Because at this moment, there were five or six figures standing next to Zheng Gongwei.

One of the men, wearing tight uniforms, was staring at Master Zheng with a sullen face.

Qin Shang noticed that there was a big footprint on the guy's shoe. It was not like what Zheng Gongwei described, that he just stepped on it accidentally. It felt like Zheng Gongwei held him down and did a 360-degree Thomas spin on his foot to leave this circular footprint mark...

The next moment, the man in tight clothes also got angry and grabbed Zheng Gongwei.

"Bullshit! Did you step on me by accident? You clearly..."

"enough!"

"What do you think we are doing now? This is a fucking S-level dungeon. Are you all here to go shopping? Or do you plan to stay in this dungeon? If you keep playing like kids, I will kill you once the main quest starts and you start to hinder the team!"

Before the tight-fitting man could finish his words, another fox-faced man jumped out from the crowd and said in a deep voice to stop the conflict from escalating further. The man's voice was a bit sharp, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his tone overwhelmed the others, and the chaotic scene suddenly became silent.

After saying that, he glanced coldly at Zheng Gongwei and the tight-fitting man who had spoken first.

Master Zheng kept sneering playfully, smoking without saying a word.

As for the man in tight clothes, he showed a hint of displeasure but didn't say anything.

Not far away, Qin Shang saw that the originally chaotic scene was suddenly under control, so he squinted his eyes and looked up and down at the other person. This man had medium-length hair with a few strands of hair casually scattered on his forehead. He had a pointed face, long eyelids, and fair skin that made women envious.

The overall appearance is somewhat charming and cunning, very much like the legendary man with a female appearance.

To stop the escalation of the conflict, the fox-faced man snorted coldly.

"Let's go! It's important to start the main storyline first!"

The next moment, after saying this, the fox-faced man led the others behind him towards the main gate of the monastery.

The rough man in strong clothes glanced at Master Zheng fiercely and cursed, "Don't fall into my hands later, or I will definitely kill you." Then he followed the fox-faced man and left.

As the few people dispersed, they all noticed Qin Shang at the corner of the monastery not far away.

However, they didn't seem to have any intention of coming over to say hello. Instead, they passed by and walked straight into the monastery.

Qin Shang didn't care about this group of people's attitude towards him.

Instead, he stared at the backs of those people leaving, thinking that these people were probably the group of bad people organized in the "official mission". In other words, some of them must be in cahoots with the Zheng family in Jincheng...
