Hu Wei, You Really Haven't Forgotten That Priest After All

After folding and putting the contract away, Cheng Shi smiled happily.

He composed himself, looked at the crowd, and slowly said:

"As you may have noticed, I am not as generous as my brother Hu; on the contrary, I am quite selfish."

To be honest, I saved you all not because I'm kind-hearted, but because... I couldn't find another way to escape.

I'm a pragmatic person; all I want is to live, and saving you might allow me to live a little longer—that's all.

After saying that, he looked at Hu Wei with an embarrassed expression. "Sorry, Brother Hu, I..."

"Smack!"

Hu Wei slapped Cheng Shi hard on the shoulder, interrupting him, and then laughed loudly:

"Brother, you did nothing wrong."

Everyone has to look out for themselves; there's nothing wrong with wanting to live.

But I don't Hu Wei the process, I only care about the result. The result today is that you saved me, so I'm still alive.

Cheng Shi, my good brother, I owe you one.

"Brother Hu, you flatter me." Cheng Shi quickly waved his hand.

In fact, everyone knows that everyone still has unused tricks up their sleeve, at least the means to come back from the dead. So saying that Cheng Shi saved everyone's lives might be a bit of an exaggeration. To be more precise, it should be said that Cheng Shi saved one of everyone's lives.

But no matter what, every life is important in this game where death is as common as drinking water, so everyone is very grateful.

Moreover, because of Cheng Shi's sincerity, the people present actually had a much better impression of him.

Even though sincerity often carries an element of unspoken falsehood, there are so many people in this game who are unwilling to even reveal their feigned sincerity, so even a little bit of sincerity can "move" others.

Only Long Jing looked at this "colleague" with an even more strange gaze.

Who exactly is this swindler?

Hu Wei laughed even louder after hearing this.

"It's no exaggeration to say you've been so kind as to save my life. However, I don't have anything suitable for you on hand. But this gentleman..."

As he spoke, Hu Wei looked at Hu Xuan, nodded slightly, and took out a large burlap sack made of snakeskin from his personal space.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when Cheng Shi saw the Grand Marshal open the sack and reveal the densely packed Genesis Grass Seed inside, he was completely dumbfounded.

???

No, bro, you didn't kill all the Genesis Hunter you've ever met, did you?

How many [Birth] Hunter would it take for you to gather so many grass seeds?

Hu Xuan was also surprised. She looked at Hu Wei meaningfully and smiled:

"Should I thank the Grand Marshal for his generosity, or should I feel sorry for my fellow Faith?"

Hu Wei waved his hand and laughed heartily:

"They're already dead, it's a waste to waste them. I'm not an executioner, I just can't stand seeing them go to waste."

I think I've figured out your path, so these little things that are "Birth" might speed things up a bit.

I once heard someone say that "Birth" is not simply about procreation. As for what He truly desires, I cannot say for sure. I offer this to you, hoping it will give you some insight.

What a generous and magnanimous Grand Marshal!

In Hu Xuan's opinion, this sentence was far more valuable than this sack of grass seeds.

Peak Player are constantly searching for their own path as they approach them. Many people have a vague understanding of the path they are on, while Hu Xuan is still exploring due to her lack of experience.

But what sets her ahead of the others is that she has almost seen the coordinates of the finish line, although the path to the finish line still needs careful consideration.

Any interpretation of Him could potentially smooth the path for Hu Xuan, so this time, Hu Xuan gained a completely new understanding of the Grand Marshal's generosity.

Seeing that the other two had begun to express their opinions, Mo Li naturally couldn't pretend to be an outsider. So, after a moment's thought, he took out two palm-sized glass balls from his personal space.

One sphere was moist and translucent, with miniature giant waves churning inside; the other sphere was shrouded in holy light, with strange inscriptions faintly shimmering on its surface.

He rolled the two glass balls toward Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan respectively, then explained with a smile:

"The Erudite Poet uses pages to transcribe his talent, Behind-the-Scenes Puppeteer uses a curtain to record the scene."

Unfortunately, Singer are ultimately more support-oriented, and their pages can only record a single talent, unlike Mage, whose very existence is meant to showcase their Divine Majesty power!

These are two S-rank Stage Play Ball. One records the siege battle in which the Elemental Judge the Grand Inquisition flooded the city, and the other records a blessing ritual in the southwestern Rainforest Tribe of the Natural Alliance.

Fate Weaver lack combat skills, so this 'water ball' is more suitable for you. Mage never lack output, so you might as well take this 'potion ball'. However, I must add that when the drama that has ended begins to replay, the power inside will not distinguish between friend and foe.

Therefore, it should be used with caution.

Stage Play Ball!

Cheng Shi had encountered this kind of thing in previous Trials. It was a common technique used by the Behind-the-Scenes Puppeteer of the [Folly] Mage class. However, in lower ranks, this thing was considered the most useless talent because low-ranked players did not have enough strength to collect a grand show, so they often treated this thing as another kind of portable space.

For example, you could collect a scene of cooking and then recreate it, so you could have a hot meal in the middle of nowhere.

Don't ask why I'm giving this example; the answer is I've eaten it, and the food wasn't even as good as Finger Bread.

Cheng Shi picked up the "water ball" beside his leg, his face calm and smiling, but inside he was... ecstatic.

What does it mean to win big?

This impromptu three-person script unexpectedly garnered so many "tips"!

Thank you all for your support! I will continue to work hard, polish the script, and strive to create another masterpiece for you all!

However, everyone else expressed doubt that their good older brother would really only give a verbal promise.

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, glanced at Hu Wei casually, and then began to study the "water ball" without saying a word.

That's almost the same as pointing at Hu Wei's face and asking, "Do you think the compensation Mo Li gave is good?"

However, Hu Wei didn't react much. It was unclear whether he didn't see it or was preoccupied with something else. In any case, the scene fell silent.

Seeing that the gratitude-repayment segment was over, Da Yi, who had been holding back for a long time, pursed his lips and said in a rather sour tone:

"Damn it, brother, stop studying that broken ball. Put it away. I'm jealous and can't stand seeing others make money."

"..."

Cheng Shi laughed heartily, quickly put it away, and didn't forget to add, "I'm sorry for making you all laugh at how a poor man suddenly becomes rich."

"Damn it, if you consider this poor, then I must be destitute!"

"Alright Old Hu, let's get down to business, or the moon will be setting."

Moon?

Upon hearing the words, Hu Xuan seemed to recall something, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi anticipated this and looked away, waiting for Hu Wei to explain his plan.

Seeing that the time was right, Hu Wei solemnly addressed the crowd:

"I'll stop playing games with you all. I have a Trials to give you all a chance to participate in."

I previously thought it was the fall of [Decay], so I felt that although this game was risky, it was still controllable. But now that I have received news of the fall of [Prosperity], I am afraid that something unexpected might happen on the way.

After all, He is still alive, and what we need to do is to steal what He left behind in the God War.

To put it bluntly, this is a blasphemous scheme.

Moreover, this is a blasphemous act against the recently defeated god, an act that could very well enrage this "Sinking" second god. Therefore, I must first ask you all: does anyone...?

Do you want to give up?

"Um..." Cheng Shi timidly raised his hand, "Brother Hu, I'm not lying to you, I really do cook in the Rest Area, or else..."

Hu Wei waved his hand, interrupting Cheng Shi once again.

"Brother, you can't leave. All the compensation I'm giving you is in this Trials."

Besides, as you've seen, you're the only Priest here, and we're really short of a Priest this time!

"..."

So you're telling the truth now, huh? So you were faking it all before, weren't you?

Big asshole!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi's expression froze, and he sighed, as if he hadn't wanted to get on the car, but had been forcibly dragged onto it.

But unseen by others, he smiled slightly, feeling completely at ease.

They colluded, maintained a consistent persona, shifted all the blame, and took all the credit.

Finally, let's use the tactic of feigning indifference to lure the prey into a trap!

And just like that, the deal was done!

Tsk, I'd like to see what this so-called "Decay" remnant is all about!
