They Were Completely Honest This Time

(Not a drop left, 2 more updates tomorrow...)

Cheng Shi chuckled twice and began to play dumb.

"So, when you met her, you were grafted the Destiny of a Gravekeeper?"

"Big sister, you know quite a lot, huh..."

Cheng Shi's heart tightened, fearing that Tao Yi might also reveal his fabrication about this "prosperity" Chosen of God one, but fortunately, the other party seemed to be "unaware" of it.

"We can talk about anything," Hong Lin said, pursing her lips and putting away her spear. "She is very grateful to you for saving her, but she guessed your identity wrong."

She told me you were a liar, a Clown pretending to be weak while actually being strong, but you're actually a Fate Weaver, and a Fate Weaver who had an affair with Zhen Yi!

"..."

Girl, the word "incidental" is a bit too much. We are completely innocent and untainted.

However, Tao Yi's guess was correct, or rather, when most players saw that Priest had changed his Faith, they would immediately think of the Clown and the Clown with the "Lies Like Yesterday" talent, rather than the Fate Weaver of Destiny.

This is because the Clown is a profession that uses the healing methods of other Faith to perform the work of Priest, while the Fate Weaver's greatest ability is not to graft Faith, but to repair Destiny.

Unlike other Priest, Fate Weaver are not concerned with physical pain or spiritual purification, but rather with the Destiny of their target, mending and patching up their Destiny.

For example, when someone is about to die from severe injuries in an unavoidable disaster, the Fate Weaver, although unable to change the course of the disaster, can repair the person's Destiny, turning their near-death experience into a minor injury and escape, or even a complete escape.

Therefore, the Fate Weaver is a precognitive healer, whose healing method is to "preemptively" change the Destiny of the target who is injured to a certain extent.

The act of grafting Destiny is merely a form of compensation for this "unstable early treatment plan".

When a Fate Weaver tries repeatedly to mend another's Destiny but ultimately fails to turn the tide, he can choose to kill the target with his own hands and graft his Destiny onto himself, allowing himself to take the place of the poor soul abandoned by Destiny and continue walking a longer path in Destiny.

Therefore, every Fate Weaver grafts Destiny onto others always has an untold, poignant story to tell.

They lie occasionally, but most of the time they're just trying to make people cry.

That being said, isn't this Wood Elf a little too clever?

How did she guess that she was the Clown?

What went wrong with that Trials?

Seeing Cheng Shi frowning in thought, Hong Lin seemed to see through his confusion and chuckled, saying:

"Aren't you wondering how Tao Yi found out your identity?"

"Tell me your true identity, and I'll tell you."

Cheng Shi curled his lip, not buying it at all. "I am a Fate Weaver, and a self- Fate Weaver at that, otherwise you wouldn't have heard me from Tao Yi."

"..."

The logic is sound, but the way it's said just sounds so awkward.

Hong Lin spat with disgust and said with a hint of disdain:

"She may not be virtuous, but she's got plenty of tricks up her sleeve. She's got a mind of her own, just like that little fox."

"Little fox?" Cheng Shi pondered for a moment before realizing that the little fox actually referred to Tao Yi.

"See? You didn't expect that, did you? Even though she chose 'Prosperity,' she's just like you—a fraudster who doesn't belong to the 'Deception' category."

From a young age, she was good at reading people's expressions and words, and who knows what she was thinking.

She didn't actually realize your identity; it was only when dealing with that teammate surnamed Su that she vaguely suspected something was amiss.

"!!!"

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he instantly thought of Su Yida's death. He blurted out in shock, "Did Tao Yi kill him?"

Hong Lin nodded:

"Yes, I once gave her a [Death] Daggers for self-defense, which could be used to kill anyone she designated. It was a very precious S-Rank Item, but unfortunately, it was used on an unknown Master of Trickery."

Cheng Shi was shocked again. "She knew that Su Yida was Master of Trickery?"

"As I said, the little fox is very good at reading people. She said that after halfway through, she felt that the man surnamed Su was acting strangely. Apart from finding food for her, he seemed to have never used the power of [Memory]. She also noticed that the Master of Trickery was paying close attention to you, while you looked at him with a very unfocused gaze, and even seemed to ignore what he was holding."

So she began to suspect the Memory Traveler. Sure enough, after falling into the Void, she noticed that your communication was even stranger. But at the time, she just thought that you had seen through Su's identity in advance and did not think that you were also a fraud.

Do you remember when she jumped into the belly of the Void-Snout Devouring Pig with you in her arms? Every time the little fox talks about this on the phone, she laughs for a long time because she had already guessed the identity of the Master of Trickery, so she didn't know the location of the Pig-Bearded Pig.

But she saw the high school student's gaze, so she just grabbed you, covered her head, and jumped.

"Tsk, it's hard to imagine a grown man hiding in a woman's arms when disaster strikes. Luckily, the little fox is a natural actress and didn't give herself away."

"..."

Cheng Shi was stunned; he never expected there would be a master in that Trials!

"But unfortunately, you can't see into someone's heart, and she was still deceived by you."

"Fine, really fine. You've made a Fate Weaver look like a con artist. Was Zhen Yi fooled by you in the same way?"

"..."

Is this never going to end?

Isn't it unlucky that Zhen Laiyi went there?

Cheng Shi stood up speechlessly, pointing to the gradually subsiding Sighing Tide in the distance, and said:

"Big sister, you don't really think I'm just betting that you'll come back to save me, do you?"

Even if I were incredibly confident, I would never entrust my life to a friend of a friend I barely know. I was just taking a small gamble.

He even emphasized the word "friend"!

Hong Lin's eyes turned sarcastic. "Don't try to show off in the wrong place, I don't fall for that."

Cheng Shi clicked his tongue twice, showing no annoyance, and slowly explained:

"At your speed, you've explored for so long without finding anything. Right now, the other two routes are also making no progress. You should know that the Trials of [Prosperity] is not difficult in finding people, but in protecting them."

If He doesn't want us to save His people, we can't win this game no matter what, so we might as well just break up and leave.

But if He wanted to, He certainly wouldn't make things difficult for us in the search for people.

So when you can't find anyone beyond the Sighing Tide, is it possible that the person we're looking for, or rather, the clues to our goal... are hidden in the fog?

As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.

She finally understood why Tao Yi admired this player named Cheng Shi.

Bold, meticulous, daring to gamble, and capable of swindling Zhen Yi, he is indeed a good prospect.

"So, what did you just discover?"

"Huh? I didn't find anything. I was only there for a short time before you dragged me out." Cheng Shi shrugged, looking like he was asking for a beating.

"..." Hong Lin's lips twitched slightly, her face showing annoyance.

He still managed to pull off that act.

But she usually has some unique methods for dealing with this kind of person.

So, with a face full of displeasure, Hong Lin grabbed Cheng Shi collar and carried him like a chick towards the stagnant Sighing Tide.

"No, sis, I can actually walk by myself."

Cheng Shi realized something was wrong and tried to struggle, but Hong Lin quickly pulled his hands and feet back with the wooden gun.

"Didn't you want someone to carry you? Lifting and carrying are about the same, both save effort."

"I don't want to anymore right now!"

"Hehe, too late."

As she spoke, she returned the stolen bottle of "The Prosperity of the Past Prosperity" to its Cheng Shi into Cheng Shi's arms, and then threw him and the potion into the mist.

Under the catalysis of the power of [Decay], Cheng Xiaoshi once again became Cheng Laoshi.

"..."

Now the man is completely obedient.
