The Venue's Stage Collapsed!

He was thinking.

Cheng Shi kept asking himself, if a scam is indeed planned, when would be the best time for the scammers to make their move?

This question might require some thought for others, but for Cheng Shi a conman, it was a piece of cake.

The answer lies in the climax of the scam, when everyone's attention is completely diverted to other things, such as...

Right now!

President Gong not only shared explosive news, but also presented everyone present with an extremely difficult choice in a very short time.

Regardless of whether anyone truly believes him, anyone who has even the slightest doubt about his information would want to know exactly where the "Decay" Divine Body that President Gong mentioned fell in that time and space.

But if you want to keep listening, you have no choice but to join this so-called "Fool's Society".

Smart people only want to gain benefits and don't want to add burdens, so they are conflicted. In this conflict, they often overlook some new tricks that scammers have added.

For example...

Graft.

Yes, the door that everyone came through was indeed safe, and the door now is exactly the same as the one they came through. If Cheng Shi hadn't seen through President Gong's fraud beforehand, Cheng Shi probably wouldn't have thought much of it.

But here's the question: is the way home really behind this door?

After all, the experience of falling into Zhen Yi's Void Memory Pocket was still fresh in her mind.

Moreover, there is a very high probability that this so-called friend of President Gong is Zhen Xin or Zhen Yi, or even that President Gong is herself!

So Cheng Shi stopped. He needed to observe the situation and decide whether he could leave through the door after someone else had entered.

Just Cheng Shi can think of so many things doesn't mean others can.

In the eyes of many, President Gong has established a selfless image with considerable personal charm. At least the useful information he shares is a real gain for those who know nothing about Peak Player.

Therefore, many smart people who can control their desires and a bunch of freeloaders who don't want to take any risks are preparing to leave the game.

This includes those Fire Keeper will definitely not join other organizations.

After standing up, Cui Qiushi did not immediately enter the door. Instead, he observed Cheng Shi for a moment before carefully moving to a nearby passageway, where he met up with another player in a covert defensive posture.

After exchanging glances for a moment, the two nodded in unison and prepared to leave.

But at that moment, Cheng Shi made a move. Before he could confirm whether the door was safe or not, he couldn't just watch Old Cui's son take the risk.

His gaze darkened, and his eyes turned sharp as he looked at Cui Qiushi. Without hesitation, he pulled out three Scalpel from his sleeve and swung them at the back of Cui Qiushi's head without saying a word!

He knew that Cui Qiushi was on guard against him, and he also knew that the Scalpel at this speed would not hit the alert Order Knight, but Cheng Shi's target was not Cui Qiushi at all, but the player that Cui Qiushi wanted to cover!

That stranger who didn't know me Passing the Flame!

As Cheng Shi threw out the Scalpel, he quickly took out something from his personal space and threw Passing the Flame at the stranger with lightning speed.

The Passing the Flame, having already been warned by Cui Qiushi about Cheng Shi's unusual Cheng Shi, was now on guard against him. Seeing Cheng Shi suddenly attack two people at once, the stranger's expression darkened and he quickly moved aside.

He dared not not dodge.

Cui Qiushi was facing three Scalpel whose shapes he could recognize, which he could naturally withstand with his small shield. But he was different; he was facing a strange tongue!

What kind of decent person throws out their tongue first when facing off?!

Nobody knows what functions the tongue has, so to be on the safe side, it's best to stay far away and avoid getting it on you.

But this dodge caused him to move away from the door leading out of the venue, and because of his Cheng Shi dodge, Cheng Shi's tongue ended up sticking to the golden door without any surprise!

The stranger Passing the Flame, secretly thought how close he'd come to disaster. He immediately pulled out a staff from his person, clearly a Mage. But just as he was about to retaliate against Cheng Shi's Cheng Shi attack, he suddenly heard the door to the hall beside him slam shut with a loud crash...

It's broken!

Just from being licked by that eerie tongue, the seemingly heavy and solid door made of jade cracked open as if it had been hit hard on a mirror!

At the same time, the tongue that had been stuck to the door fell off and landed on the ground. Under the serious gazes of the two people, it lazily wriggled twice and finally let out a comfortable burp.

"Burp~ I'm so full again!"

"!!!"

When Mo Passing the Flame and Cui Qiushi saw this scene, their eyes narrowed and their pupils shrank!

A talking tongue!!

That's fucking weird!

But the strangest thing wasn't the tongue, but the broken door!

After the first door shattered, all the doors in the venue seemed to trigger a chain reaction, collapsing one after another in front of everyone.

Many players who had just entered were momentarily stunned, then repelled from the unknown space by an unknown force and thrown directly to the ground.

This shocked everyone.

Everyone was horrified and their expressions changed drastically. Seeing the scene before them, everyone knew that this door was not a door to "go home" or a door to leave the venue, but a "deadly" door!

Someone set a trap behind this door, sending all the players who stepped inside to an unknown space!

This door is completely fake!!

Upon seeing this scene, Cui Qiushi felt a chill run from his tailbone to the top of his head. If it weren't for the strange person in the seat in front of him suddenly stopping him and his companion from entering, he might already be in trouble.

He's not the enemy!?

Cui Qiushi turned around and looked at Cheng Shi with a serious expression, his brows furrowed tightly.

Who exactly is he?

At this moment, the unfamiliar Fire Keeper also came over. He was much more pragmatic than Cui Qiushi. When he guessed that Cheng Shi's actions were not to cause trouble but to help, he nodded to Cheng Shi with gratitude.

"I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace."

My name is Zhang Hao, and I don't know...

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Shi quickly bent down and picked up the Tongue of Lies from the ground, then vanished from their sight in an instant.

He slipped away.

After reluctantly exposing President Gong's conspiracy, he couldn't expose himself to the public eye, so he used the Dice he had carelessly thrown elsewhere when he entered to move to a safe and secluded spot.

As soon as he disappeared, a huge commotion broke out in the venue.

Some lucky ones did escape unscathed because of Cheng Shi's actions, but what about the group of players who went in earlier?

How are they?

Was he dead, or was he captured?

Aside from the person who set the trap, perhaps no one else knows.

Filled with lingering fear, the players angrily looked at the stage, cursing and swearing. Some even started to attack, their faces darkening, as countless streaks of light rained down on the Stage in the center of the venue.

Under the furious barrage of light, the Stage collapsed with a loud crash, instantly raising a cloud of dust!

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened as he looked at the arena, and he let out a cold laugh.

Is this useful? Probably not.

If a malicious organizer can die from this level of backlash, then today's gathering might truly be considered a gathering of Fool's Society.

But to be fair, it's ironic that the wise people who cautiously declined to join and chose to avoid getting involved fell into the trap much earlier than the "mediocre" ones who stayed put looking for opportunities. Doesn't this just prove what happened to everyone present...?

Are they all mediocre people?

In Cheng Shi's view, being simply stupid might not make one a mediocre person, but failing to recognize one's own limitations is a sure path to becoming mediocre.

So the mediocre people who considered themselves smart got angry, and the result of their anger was that the sky in the meeting room collapsed!
