Cheng Shi nodded quietly.

"That's right. We met by chance during a Trials. This Crazy Woman has been using my identity for her own convenience, which I found very annoying. So I retaliated by using her identity as well."

Although my impersonation caused her a lot of trouble, this Crazy Woman didn't care at all and even found it amusing.

So I became even more annoyed, and then I did a bunch of... cough cough... disgusting and shameful things under her name.

You probably know more about what happened next than I do.

I don't know any of the things you've heard.

"Alright, I've told you all the stories you wanted to hear. Now tell me, what exactly did she say to get revenge on me?"

Hong Lin sneered upon hearing this.

"Zhen Yi, you're still lying!"

Do you think I'd believe you?

"Heh." Cheng Shi's gaze turned incredibly mocking. "Now I'm really curious. I'd love to know how someone who's Chosen of God, someone an ordinary player could never hope to reach, was tricked into this state by that Crazy Woman?"

Ms. Hong Lin, since this is a patient Mutual Aid Society, why don't you share your experience with us?

Hearing this, the surprise and doubt in Hong Lin's eyes finally subsided somewhat. She first spat fiercely, then let out a long breath and said:

"Unlucky!"

Oh ho, so you know about bad luck now?

"Tell me in detail." Cheng Shi chuckled, his face full of mockery.

Cheng Shi's attitude showed no fear or tension, which his teammates interpreted as a sign that he had the confidence to face off against the Chosen of God ones and even take on five opponents at once.

That's true, how could someone who dares to trick even Zhen Yi be an ordinary person!

As a result, everyone's gaze towards Cheng Shi Change slightly.

This seems to be a big shot who is not well-known. Although he did not announce his score, at his level, the score is not important.

Hong Lin finally recovered and realized that Cheng Shi was probably not Zhen Yi, otherwise everyone would have become an even bigger source of amusement at this moment.

"Let's not dwell on the past..." Her expression changed at first, as if she had recalled something unpleasant, and then she forced a smile and looked at Cheng Shi, saying, "You're quite something, kid. There aren't many people who can trick Zhen Yi. I admire you, but are you really a Fate Weaver?"

"Destiny can't Deception, can it?"

Clearly, she still had doubts about Cheng Shi's identity. Not only her, but everyone was wondering if Cheng Shi was a Fate Weaver, since the charlatans of "Destiny" weren't good at deceiving people.

They're only good at fooling people.

Seeing that he had single-handedly saved the almost disastrous start, Cheng Shi's tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment.

Thankfully, as long as you don't doubt that I am Zhen Yi, I can argue my point no matter what you question.

It's so hard, it's really so hard for me...

Cheng Shi's mind was in turmoil, but on the surface he just chuckled:

"Alright, no need for these ridiculous tests. Do you think I can hide whether I am Fate Weaver or not from your discerning eyes?"

The farce should end now; let's discuss how to begin this absurd Trials.

After a long back and forth, the topic finally got back on track thanks to Cheng Shi's tireless efforts.

Although everyone still has doubts about Cheng Shi's identity, fortunately, the "identity war" triggered by Mouth Brother has come to an end.

Cheng Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to greet his dear Mouth Brother.

Lips of Foolish Play! You better behave yourself, or else...

Don't force me to beg you.

Amid Hong Lin's hesitant questions and Cheng Shi statements, this farcical and absurd drama finally came to an end.

The group's smiles faded, and they began to take the current Trials environment seriously once again.

Obviously, prosperity should not gather in a place shrouded in Decay. Therefore, to complete the Trials and ignite the so-called "Prairie Fire," one must first find a spark with the power to ignite it, and one that is about to go out.

Finding an unknown target in this vast and Sighing Tide forest is extremely difficult. After a brief discussion, in order to balance safety and efficiency, the group decided to split up and explore in three directions in pairs.

If a clue is found, signal each other with a flare gun; if no clue is found but the Sighing Tide is encountered, return after 2 hours to find another way; if the Sighing Tide breaks out during the exploration, escape and regroup in the opposite direction of the Tide.

The plan was proposed by the Historian, and he also provided the flare gun. Since Cheng Shi's Cheng Shi could not be confirmed, he himself preferred to team up with others, since probably no [Memory] Believer would travel with a player who was suspected to be Zhen Yi.

Everyone shared this view, so Cheng Shi, who was "isolated," Cheng Shi teamed up with Hong Lin, who "seemed not to mind him."

Hong Lin was not surprised by the result. She glanced at Cheng Shi and nodded, which was considered as her approval of the assignment.

After the two were separated, the remaining two Singer couldn't be paired together. So everyone thought that the Trap Master, who could speak, would choose first, and then the Puppeteer would suffer a loss and be forced to pair with the remaining one.

Unexpectedly, the Puppeteer, who had remained silent all along, made the first choice. She controlled her puppet to stand silently beside the Historian, making it clear that she did not want to go with Feathered Brother.

Feathered Brother's expression clearly became more playful. He glanced with interest at the Puppeteer who hadn't given him any face, then looked at the Trap Master who had no other choice, and offered him a new option:

"Singer is just a professional title and doesn't mean anything. I can also consider myself one of them. I think I won't hold you back in this forest under the watchful eye of my Lord."

"Hunter, if you prefer to travel alone, we can increase our efficiency by traveling in four groups."

Unexpectedly, this Trap Master did not refuse this team composition; he nodded Indifference and said:

"I'm with [Decay]."

This time, not only did the others look at him with more respect, but Feathered Brother also put on an appreciative smile.

"I like you, and you're very perceptive."

"But I don't like men. Let's go, don't waste our time."

After saying this, the ruthless Hunter turned and left. Feathered Brother was slightly taken aback, then smiled and followed him.

Zuo Qiu had no objection to teaming up with the Puppeteer. He glanced at the puppet and its owner and said seriously:

"I am familiar with underground history and have some insights into wilderness survival. Considering your Faith, how about I lead the way and you keep watch?"

The Mature Sister Puppet nodded gently without objection, then carried the little girl on her back and followed the Historian step by step.

Cheng Shi saw this scene and felt a little envious.

"Tsk, and someone even carries it on their back, that's awesome."

Hong Lin chuckled and looked in the direction where the two had disappeared, saying:

"What, you want to have some fun too?"
