Those Honest, Candid, Crazy, and Cunning

In reality, a grassland in Unknown Province and City.

Qin Chaoge lay on his back on the roof of the yurt and opened his eyes.

Her face flushed slightly with embarrassment, her fists clenched tightly, and she angrily threw two punches at the sky.

"You bastard, you dare to scam me!"

So annoying!

Who said I have chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?!

But just then, the pre-set alarm tone came from inside the yurt.

"Beep beep—beep beep—beep beep—"

It's time for training!

Today's practice lesson is chapter 136 of "Attack on the Dwarves".

"..."

Qin Chaoge instinctively wanted to jump down, but when he remembered that he had just been ridiculed, he gritted his teeth and held back.

It won't kill you to miss one episode!

Tolerate.

However, 5 minutes later.

"Beep beep—beep beep—"

"Others can't see it, why should I endure it? I want to see!"

As he spoke, the agile Singer flipped into the tent.

"Where's the wine? Where's my wine? How come it's all gone again!"

In reality, a residential house in Unknown Province and City.

Li Boli held a miniature sundial, which resembled a stone plate, and watched over and over again the scene of Hu Xuan first stealing the Divine Authority [Eternal Day].

She frowned for as long as she stared at it.

When she finally felt she had gained some insight, she put down the "Sundial of Time" and picked up an ordinary watch.

Her gaze followed the ticking of the hands, and after the second hand had spun countless times, she finally mustered the courage to speak.

"Willing..."

But as soon as she uttered a single word, Li Boli's hand holding the watch clenched tightly, veins bulging, and she began to tremble.

She opened and closed her slightly parted mouth several times, but couldn't utter the syllables in her throat. After struggling for a moment, she swallowed back all the words she had prepared.

She threw away her watch, gasped for breath, and collapsed onto the sofa, her eyes filled with panic and confusion.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Never mind, never mind.

I am not them, nor can I become them.

That's good...

"That's fine too."

The wanderer gradually relaxed, and before long, he became one with the breeze flowing through the hall.

Trials, in an unknown location in the wilderness.

In the dimly lit cave, the six players arrived one after another. After exchanging glances, a man with an afro flickered a flame from his fingertip, illuminating the dark place.

His piercing, fierce eyes swept around the room, and he spoke with a slight frown:

"What a pity, I didn't see any acquaintances."

Since everyone has gathered here, it's likely that you've all chosen to make random [Divinity] wishes. Therefore, you should all know that the price of reducing risk is very likely to be gaining nothing.

As usual, state your needs first. There will be no competition during the cooperation period. After the Trials, everyone can do as they please.

I'll go first.

Mo Wu, Elemental Judge, 2517, what I need is [Chaos Divinity].

"Interestingly, the most law-abiding people crave the worst rules. Indeed, the longer one lives, the more one learns."

Zhou Songming, Fool-Dispelling Expert Divinity, 2496, what I need is... "Birth."

Upon hearing the player's request, one of the women in the group frowned slightly.

This fan of "Folly" looked at the frowning person with amusement, and smiled slightly.

"Looks like this business isn't going to be easy."

The frowning teammate didn't respond, but instead, another charming lady next to the Fool-Dispelling Expert, exuding endless allure, spoke up elegantly.

"Hu Xuan, Life Sage, 2451."

Her captivating eyes first looked at the Fool-Dispelling Expert, then at the girl with the furrowed brow, and she smiled in greeting.

"Sorry, you two, you might be going home empty-handed this round."

"Ha, the greatest folly is to be utterly ignorant of one's own limitations!"

The Fool-Dispelling Expert's sarcasm made everyone in the cave shake their heads and laugh, but Hu Xuan wasn't annoyed. She simply stretched out her hand and softly uttered a single word:

"Come."

In reality, at a Museum in Unknown Province and City.

A pretty and graceful young woman was squatting in front of a low, columnar display stand, quietly placing something.

A short while later, she clapped her hands with satisfaction, stood up, and looked as if she had completed a great work.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, it looks very similar!"

Following her gaze, one could see a tiny figure made of 12 Scalpel displayed on the columnar stand.

Four knives formed a square head, three knives connected end to end formed a triangular torso, and the other four knives were divided into four limbs.

As for the last one...

She thought about it for a long time, and finally placed it between her legs.

Men are, after all, three-legged creatures.

That makes sense.

After setting everything up, she scribbled three words on the display label in a flowing, cursive script:

Cheng Xiaoshi.

Looking at the Scalpel gleaming under the light, the girl smiled and took out her phone, snapped a picture, and sent it to someone, I don't know.

Sending just one photo didn't seem to satisfy her desire to share, so she made a video call directly.

There was no pleasant ringtone, nor a dial tone; the call was answered instantly, and then a lovely girl who looked exactly like the woman appeared on the phone screen.

"Hehe~ I knew you'd answer my call. Why aren't you saying anything, my dear sister?"

"..."

"What's wrong? Did something upset you?"

"Quick, quick, tell me! I'm in a good mood, let me enjoy myself a little longer."

"..."

"Tch, so boring. It's always the same. You never even laugh. If you keep this up, you'll get depressed!"

"..."

"Fine, you taciturn fellow. Since you won't tell me your story, I'm going to tell you mine!"

Ha~

Let me tell you, I met a pretty interesting little conman today. He's just like you, he even fools himself!

I almost fell for his trick!

Luckily, I was one step ahead and he didn't get the upper hand.

Well... it's not like I didn't get taken advantage of; my little watermelon got touched.

But it's not a big problem. He's treating me like you. So, you're the one who's at a disadvantage, not me!

Hehe~

My sister is so pitiful; she got taken advantage of by that little liar.

Just as the girl was smugly sharing her joy of "victory," the girl on the other end of the phone finally spoke.

"Zhen Yi... what have you done now!"

"Huh? I didn't do anything, it was just a routine Trials."

"You were... you were..." The girl opposite Trials opened her mouth several times, but she was too embarrassed to say the rest of the sentence.

Zhen Yi clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.

"It was clearly Zhen Xin who was touched, what does it have to do with me Zhen Yi?"

Hahaha, but don't worry, no one saw it.

Well, you can't say that, at least Zainjil saw it.

But he's an old-fashioned person and can't speak, so he's not really seen, right?

"You found the Dagger of Stars?"

"Hmm, I single-handedly carried all my teammates to victory, letting them witness the greatest Experiment of the Tower of Reason. Pretty impressive, right?"

Oh wait, there was this incredibly stupid gambler who died. Too bad, he was pretty easy to fool.

"Get to the point, have you found the person the Blind Man mentioned?"

"Who? Who is it? Sister, what are you talking about?"

All I saw was a little liar who touched your little watermelon!

"Zhen! Yi!"

"Oops, my phone's dead, I need to go charge it, bye-bye!"

Zhen Yi quickly hung up the phone, then laughed so hard she rolled on the floor.

But as she laughed, her expression gradually turned puzzled.

She sat up cross-legged on the ground, rested her elbows on her knees, and cupped her face in her hands, frowning as she muttered to herself:

"Have we really missed out?"

The Blind Man's description of "the Transition the sun and moon, above the Void" clearly fits the description, so why didn't he see anyone?

The future is here... The future is here...

What does the last sentence of the prophecy mean? Does it mean that I disguised myself as Cheng Xiaoshi's future?

Ah?

Could it be me that blind Blind Man saw in the prophecy?

Hehe~

That would be so much fun!

Thinking of this, Zhen Yi quickly picked up her phone from the ground and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected, and a cool, clear female voice came from the other end. Her first question was:

"Zhen Yi?"

"Don't hang up, I'm your older sister."

"Beep—beep—beep—" The phone call ended instantly.
