Who Knows Whether You're a Follower of Deception?

Wonderful!

Upon hearing these hurtful words, Cheng Shi almost jumped up and applauded Chen Shu.

This "Silent" Chosen of God is too amazing. He went straight to the essence of the Fool's Society's interests as soon as he opened his mouth. Others questioned him in order to get an explanation, but he was ready to dismantle the Fool's Society right from the start!

And what they dismantled wasn't just the framework that President Gong hadn't even set up yet, but the very foundation that allowed the Fool's Society ever taller!

Benefit!

This is the essential core that all organizations must address to win people's hearts and minds.

The players who have survived to this point are not fools. They may have low scores, but most of them must have a set of survival logics that are applicable to themselves and very self-consistent. The most important point in this logic is the weighing of interests.

If the Fool's Society, like other organizations, needs to use the power of the general public to create a few beneficiaries, then even mediocre people would not be willing to do something that only cattle and horses in the pre-apocalyptic world would be willing to do.

President Gong was visibly taken aback by the sharp question, but he quickly recovered and smiled as he looked at the uniquely shaped Chen Shu at Hu Wei's feet, saying:

"The Fool's Society hasn't even been established yet, and from my limited perspective, I can't see that far ahead. However, I can guarantee that if that day ever comes, the Fool's Society, thanks to this friend's auspicious words, will reach that level..."

As the president, I will never steal everyone's efforts to elevate myself.

I would be the first to give up and continue being an ordinary person!

Because all I want is to live!

"Just being alive is enough."

"Good! Well said!"

President Gong's words were indeed persuasive enough, and they immediately received some responses from the audience. At least some "mediocre people" in the hall had begun to be tempted.

But most people aren't so easily fooled. Everyone has their own concerns about joining a shady organization on the first meeting.

For example, in the middle of the venue, a burly man crossed his arms and shouted disdainfully at the stage:

"Ensure?

What's the point of guarantees these days? Aren't we already being scammed by Deception Believer enough? Who knows if you're a Deception Believer or not?

Are there any highly-rated scammers among you here?

I think there definitely is.

If they don't participate in this kind of fun, I, Old Niu, will tear my head off and let you guys kick it around like a ball.

Hey fellow scammers, the time has come to turn your reputations around! Is there anyone willing to step forward and tell everyone whether this "President Gong" on stage, who doesn't reveal his identity or Faith, is actually a scammer?

Before Cheng Shi could even smile, someone in the room responded to his words.

"I'll do it!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found a thin male player wearing glasses sitting in the middle of the venue, smiling and raising his hand.

Cheng Shi could tell from the man's smile that he was definitely Believer Deception.

The smile on his face was not one of helpfulness, but rather a jeer of amusement.

The bespectacled, Deception Believer burst into laughter and shouted at President Gong on the stage:

"President Gong, right? You've got some skills. At least so far, you haven't uttered a single lie."

Don't look at me like that, everyone. It was Master of Deception who told me that.

I admit that I once scored over 2000 points, but I couldn't keep up with the top players, so I dropped back down.

My S-level talent doesn't disappear when I lose points, so thanks to that, I've been able to survive below 2000 points until now.

According to President Gong, everyone below 2000 is equal, so I am the most genuine mediocre person.

Alright, enough chit-chat, President Gong. Don't blame us [Deception] Believer for not giving you face. What you said is excellent. I 'Fool's Society, but I'm also afraid you're a competitor.

"Alright, tell me a lie. If you can tell me one, I, Song Liang, will be the first to follow you. How about it?"

"Whoosh—"

The statement by this "Deception" Believer instantly caused a huge uproar. Everyone looked at the stage and then at the audience, seemingly pondering the credibility of what this bespectacled "Deception" Believer said, and what President Gong's Faith really were.

Everyone turned to look at him, even the Grand Marshal and the elegant man sitting in the first row turned around to take a look. Cheng Shi, on the other hand, was watching like he was watching a play, wishing he could take out his snot and Finger Bread to add to the fun, eating and watching at the same time.

Upon hearing these questions, President Gong on the stage straightened up again. He seemed to have a good temper and was not angered by such harsh criticism. Instead, he smiled and said:

"This is simple, just a lie. I am not Believer in Deception, nor do I have the talent to Master of Deception, so I am naturally not afraid to lie."

But even if I did say it, what if this "Deception" friend insists I didn't?

No sooner had President Gong finished speaking than Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows again.

Interestingly, this person wasn't lying, at least the Master of Deception told himself he wasn't lying.

So, is it possible that he is a Deception Believer posing as the president?

But putting everything else aside, President Gong's concerns are not without merit. The Believer of [Deception] never follow the rules, and no one knows whether they will deceive people or at what point they will do so.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate due to the mutual questioning between the two sides, the voice that had initially questioned the identity of the person who had not yet been identified by the crowd rang out again, and this time, his voice was right next to the bespectacled [Deception] Believer.

"Coincidentally, I also have Master of Deception."

You, surnamed Gong, can just say it directly. Although I don't think much of you, what that Brother Niu said earlier makes sense. I can't let a bad apple in Deception team ruin our reputation.

I need to let everyone know that there are good people among these scammers.

Many people in the room laughed when he said that.

LOL, what kind of reputation does Deception have?

To call someone a bad apple... Does that mean the whole Deception are bad apples?

They're all just empty words; who can be cleaner than whom?

The crowd clearly didn't believe the voice, but regardless of whether the onlookers believed it or not, someone had provided a way to verify it. If President Gong on the stage refused again and again, it would make him seem like there was something really wrong with him.

So even though he knew it was all a farce, he had no choice but to respond briefly at this point.

Helpless, President Gong shook his head and smiled wryly:

"Well, it seems that if I don't tell a lie today, I'm afraid I won't be able to gain the trust of all you mediocre people here."

Since that's the case, then I'll tell a lie, and that lie is:

The underwear I'm wearing today is red.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The room fell silent again, but soon a soft chuckle broke out.

All eyes turned to the bespectacled "Deception" Believer, hoping to determine President Gong's identity by observing his reaction.

The bespectacled player, who had confessed to being a fraud, was momentarily stunned, then nodded in surprise, saying:

"President Gong is indeed quite something. Master of Deception into telling me he was lying. It seems he might not actually be one of us!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd reacted in various ways. Intelligent people have their own judgment, but many in the audience still looked at the stage with more trust in their eyes.

Don't forget, this is the Stage for "mediocre people".

Not only that, another voice, which had never appeared before, rang out again:

"Ha, so they really weren't one of us [Deception] people. How boring, how boring!"

These words improved the opinion of President Gong among many people present, as the tone implied that President Gong had lied.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi's smile froze, but he quickly smiled back down to his widest point.

That's interesting, so interesting!

This is hardly a gathering of mediocre people.

This is clearly a feast for scammers!

Because Cheng Shi's Master of Deception told him that none of the three people were lying!

So!

This is clearly three swindlers putting on a show together!

Moreover, they're putting on a grand deception show called "Deception"!
