Honest Little Game

Clearly, the third sentence was spoken by Cheng Shi.

He wasn't just trying to lighten the mood; he was "serious."

Because he suddenly realized that his situation in this temporary team was awkward; he lacked real teammates!

Poison is the core of this interest group. She holds the biggest secret that everyone wants to know, and at the same time, she has a secret cooperation agreement with Pointer Knight Jiang Chi, so her situation is the best.

Although both players hunting outside are targeting her, it is foreseeable that as long as she masters the rhythm of revealing the secret and stalls her two helpers, she can use the secret in her hands to get through this Trials.

Jiang Chi is a collaborator, and his collaboration with Poison clearly began before this Trials. This means that even if he expressed his covetousness for the [Gift of Scars], it was very likely just an excuse. Besides the [Decay] Daggers, Poison probably has other things he wants, which also indicates that their relationship is far more "solid" than the temporary collaboration they have on site.

Furthermore, although he preserved the Poison during the hunt in the square, he knew when to stop and did not create irreconcilable conflicts with anyone. Therefore, Jiang Chi still had the option to withdraw at any time in a critical moment. After all, he was a warrior who could withstand attacks, fight, and was good at seizing opportunities.

Needless to say, Da Yi currently has a well-known cooperative relationship with Poison. Before Poison leads him to the [Gift of Scars], the two are unlikely to have a conflict. Moreover, he is familiar with Cheng Shi, so there is naturally one less strong opposing player in the Trials.

The biggest problem for him was keeping the Poison during Gongyang Jiao's hunt, but he also said that the deal would only last for three days. If he didn't get what he wanted within three days, whether he would quit or join Gongyang Jiao's team to hunt the Assassin who had tricked him would be entirely up to him.

Because he was an Assassin, a formidable Assassin could appear and disappear without a trace.

Only Cheng Shi...

He was a Priest, and a Priest with no one to rely on.

The feeling of being alone and helpless here doesn't mean he can't fight others head-on with his hidden strength, but rather that he has no one he can "trust"!

Even within his current team, among two acquaintances, there is no one he can "entrust his back to."

These people are not Squinty Old Zhang or Big Cat; they are all driven by profit and it is difficult for them to gain his approval. Therefore, Cheng Shi felt that whether from the perspective of continuing the Trials or from the perspective of seizing treasures, he was still lacking a gaming partner.

The profession of Priest requires a partner. Other Priest may seek partners to increase their combat strength, but Cheng Shi is different. He lacks a tool person. It is unwise for him to always put himself in danger. However, if he had a tool person to clear the way and remove mines, the Trials would be easier.

However, there was clearly no one like that among the players in this round, so Cheng Shi changed his usual game strategy. He gave up on building a "stable" small group and instead became a "central air conditioner" for himself.

Central air conditioning means... it's connected to everyone.

He planned to use a false sense of friendship as a foundation to solidify his position within the team.

Cheng Shi downstairs. With the means he currently possessed, as long as he knew the whereabouts of the [Gift of Scars], he would have a high chance of obtaining it and becoming the one who had the last laugh.

However, this is on the premise that the "Gift of Scars" is not difficult to obtain.

But whether it was Da Yi's eagerness, Hu Wei's scheming, or Poison's caution, all these signs told him that this Daggers was not so easy to take. So what he had to do now was not to be squeezed out of this temporary team and to use every means to survive until someone else got the [Gift of Scars].

As long as this legendary Daggers is safely in the hands of other players, Cheng Shi will have a way to... get his hands on it, or at least trick it into handing it over.

So what he needs to do right now is to make friends with everyone!

He doesn't expect everyone to trust him; he just wants them not to exclude him when they are dealing with outsiders.

And so, another game of exchanging sincerity for sincerity began.

That's why he said those words to the Poison.

"Shall we take it off here?"

Poison raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips as she replied, "You want to be this honest with me?"

"Isn't that right? Did I misunderstand?" Cheng Shi looked completely bewildered, though he was just pretending.

Poison licked the corner of her lips lightly. "No, you understand perfectly."

"..."

This scene stunned Jiang Chi and Da Yi. They had been listening downstairs for a while and thought that although Cheng Shi and Poison knew each other, they didn't get along. However, Cheng Shi's sudden Change in thinking made them realize that they were wrong.

The relationship between these two seems to be more than just that of teammates who met once.

When Cheng Shi was suspected of actually becoming an accomplice in the Poison, Da Yi's expression became slightly serious, while Jiang Chi's smile became even more pronounced.

Putting aside the complicated relationships, it's really interesting to be on the front lines and watch the drama unfold.

His gaze kept darting between the two of them, waiting to see who would undress first.

Poison was wearing a long white down jacket, completely different from the black one he wore at the start of the game. It was obviously a new jacket, which meant that they had probably already "exposed themselves" once, or at least Poison had been "exposed".

In Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi wore an ordinary casual jacket over a white T-shirt, extremely simple. This image could become "frank" if he took off a couple of layers.

So now it depends on whether the two of them really want to play a little game of "Filth and Decay" under the watchful eyes of the other two.

At this stage, most players are obsessed with Faith and few care about physical intimacy. Therefore, "mutual honesty" is nothing new to those present. What they care more about is the relationship revealed in the conversation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Shi quickly took off his jacket, threw it at the feet of the Poison, and said calmly:

"It's your turn."

Poison was taken aback. She hadn't expected Cheng Shi to be naked. In her Memory, the little Priest wasn't this kind of person.

She was surprised, but not repulsed, because she was a catalyst for desire, and when desire came, she would only welcome it rather than shut it out.

So, urged silently by Cheng Shi, Poison raised her neck and lightly bit the high collar of the down jacket, then quickly pulled down the zipper, took off the only piece of clothing she was wearing, and threw it at Cheng Shi.

Of course, this "uniqueness" is Cheng Shi's opinion.

Because the moment the Poison down jacket fell off, the others present saw that she was also wearing a white t-shirt underneath.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that it is not one piece, but two pieces, two pieces worn together.

This also means that if the game continues, Cheng Shi will take the lead in "honesty" before Poison.

Seeing this, Da Yi seemed to have expected it, Jiang Chi's smile deepened.

Cheng Shi, the person involved, was suddenly stunned.

Of course, this was all an act.

He didn't care at all how many clothes Poison was wearing, nor did he want to see the beautiful scenery under that down jacket. He started this "honesty" game not for these trivial matters, but for...

Down jacket.

Just as the Poison threw the down jacket at his feet, Cheng Shi bent down, picked it up, and quickly put it on.

Yes, he tricked people out of a down jacket and then wore it in front of the person he was fooling!

Cheng Shi was slightly taller than Poison, so the down jacket was a suitable size for him. But that wasn't the point anymore, because the other three people present were completely dumbfounded the moment he put it on.

My brain has gone blank and I'm dumbfounded.

What happened to our promise of honesty and openness?

Honesty? I didn't say that. Even if I did, how can you believe a liar?

Seeing everyone staring intently at him, Cheng Shi wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he obsequiously cupped his hands and said:

"Thanks for the down jacket, my friend."

Oh dear, I really didn't expect to be matched with such a freezing weather event. I didn't bring enough clothes, so I had to borrow some from the big spenders. I hope this little trick made you all laugh.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Da Yi looked at Cheng Shi in astonishment, his gaze as shocked as if he were looking at a lunatic. Jiang Chi was even more dumbfounded, amazed as if he were a god, and even couldn't help but applaud.

Poison, the player in the game, thought he had seen through Cheng Shi's sarcastic intentions and could turn the tables in this "Filth and Decay -themed" little game, making his opponent look foolish. But little did he know that the young Priest didn't want to embarrass him at all; what he really wanted was the down jacket he was wearing...

?

Sometimes I really want to call the police when I'm tricked out of my down jacket for no reason.

After a long pause, Poison suddenly burst out laughing as she watched Cheng Shi rubbing his hands together. She clutched her stomach and laughed for a long time before giving Cheng Shi a disgruntled glare. Then she picked up Cheng Shi's jacket and put it on.

After putting it on, he rubbed his shoulders, shivering, and pretended to be very cold, saying:

"Young Priest, I only prepared one set of clothes. If it gets too cold outside later, I hope you will remember your promise to be honest with me."

Don't worry, I don't want my clothes back. I just meant I'm very thin, we can fit in the same down jacket...

Squeeze it in.
