A Moment Too Late to Think-The Next Trial Had Arrived!

Turning into a skeleton wasted a lot of Cheng Shi's time, so much so that before he could even pay attention to the information on various channels, a new Trials had already begun.

Cheng Shi stood on the rooftop, put on the ring, pinned the brooch to his chest, and then, looking at the bright red warning sign in front of him, cursed with an extremely ugly expression:

"Grass!"

The Special Trial (Who Deserves Redemption [Destiny]) has begun.

[Matching teammates (1/6)]

[Trial Objective: All parables about deities are attempts by weak beings to cling to Him (3-day time limit)]

No, if an adult can't win an argument, go find an adult. What does it have to do with the child?

Isn't that outrageous, folks?

Cheng Shi secretly cheered himself up, already prepared for this Trials to be difficult.

He let his vision go dark, obediently and without resistance.

Match successful (6/6), entering trial mode.

Beds, tables and chairs, floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, and balconies.

A warm breeze...

Wait a minute!

Another hotel?!

I'm going to get hotel PTSD!

Cheng Shi suddenly jumped off the bed, his sharp eyes scanning the not-so-large room.

The room layouts and the arrangement of objects are different.

Call--

Thankfully, we didn't return to Everbloom Town.

Cheng Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glanced at his hand, and noticed that the Screaming Maw on the ring had lit up halfway.

"..."

What a wonderful start! The ring was so startled by itself that it started charging.

That's great, at least suicide is 100% successful now.

But...

If there's no good news next time, you don't have to force it, thank you.

Just like last time, Cheng Shi didn't rush out. He pressed himself against the wall and listened silently for a long time.

This time, however, he neither heard any noise from next door nor heard any knocking.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, he decided to take the initiative and go out to take a look.

He pushed open the door and stepped out of the room. Before he could see anything else, his attention was drawn to a tall, slender girl standing at the door.

Not only because she was standing at the door, but more importantly because this pretty young woman was dressed...

It's so refreshing.

A slightly sheer white halter-neck dress with a crossover neckline couldn't conceal her graceful figure at all.

Her slender waist and fair thighs were faintly visible as the breeze gently blew through her gauze skirt.

Even though the girl didn't move, she still seemed to be swaying, radiating a silent allure to her surroundings.

On her head were novel ornaments she had never seen before, and on her feet were a pair of delicate sandals. Her toes, like those of a cardamom bud, curled slightly inward, and a nervous pale pink tinge appeared between her fingers.

If it weren't for the girl's hands being clasped tightly in front of her and her slightly restrained expression, Cheng Shi would have thought she had entered the wrong shop.

"Guest... guest, hello, have you rested well?"

Hearing the somewhat unfamiliar tone of voice, Cheng Shi frowned.

This is not the language of the Isle of Hope.

[Faith Game] does not make things difficult for players in terms of language. All players who join the game become language masters and can communicate with NPCs from various language families without any obstacles.

But he couldn't read.

If you want to learn to read, you have to learn it yourself.

Cheng Shi looked at the girl's attire with some surprise, and finally gleaned some information from her hair accessories and the style of the inn.

This Trials seems to be underground!

The language spoken by the girl seemed to be a hybrid variant of the language of the underground volcano and the official language of the Isle of Hope.

This indicates that he is not far from the entrance to the Underground World, the Abyssal Volcano.

Cheng Shi rubbed his furrowed brows, feigning a hangover, and asked with some confusion:

"I don't seem to recognize you. Who are you?"

The girl smiled, still reserved, and said:

"Hello, welcome to Yuanmu Town. I am your personal tour assistant, my name is Shaman."

Did you... sleep well last night?

Yuanmu Town?

Cheng Shi nodded, his eyes darting around, while he continued to give perfunctory replies.

"Not bad, I remember... um, where are the others?"

"Ah, you mean your tour guide? He has already left. Don't worry, I will take care of you for the next few days. Someone will come to pick you up when the date approaches."

Tour guide?

Is this town a tourist attraction?

"Oh, I see. Thank you."

Cheng Shi politely thanked the girl and then walked towards the corridor railing.

His gaze darted rapidly across the space, scanning everything he could see like a laser.

This is a four-story hotel. Although the ceilings are not high, the area is very large.

The entire hotel is in the shape of a "kou", with an empty interior and a circle of rooms outside.

Looking down from the corridor, there were many bars and entertainment venues on the first floor. At first glance Cheng Shi thought he had boarded a cruise ship.

Many rooms had their doors tightly closed, and outside a few rooms stood so-called "tourism assistants" who, like Shaman, stood quietly waiting.

However, these assistants are not all girls; there are quite a few men as well.

And the clothing of these men...

Well, it's quite refreshing.

The white trousers couldn't cover her thighs, and she wasn't wearing anything on her upper body at all, revealing her firm, shiny muscles, as if she were participating in some kind of bodybuilding competition.

Cheng Shi was speechless.

"..."

Is this really a legitimate hotel?

Just as Cheng Shi carefully looking around, several people came out of several rooms not far away along the same corridor.

The group exchanged glances and realized that they were each other's teammates in this Trials.

Behind them, like Shaman, were personal assistants, both men and women.

Cheng Shi smiled meaningfully, a conspiracy theory suddenly rising in his mind.

Is he a tour guide, or someone who keeps a close watch on you?

This Yuanmu Town seems to have a story to tell.

A middle-aged woman in a suit walked up to me with an air of authority, her hair tied in small braids, a look that didn't match her clothes at all.

She waved to signal the handsome man behind her not to get too close, and the male assistant understood, stopped, and went back to the door of the room to continue waiting.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and persuaded the people behind them to leave.

Only Shaman, because the players' meeting place was at the door of Cheng Shi's room, had nowhere else to go. To avoid suspicion, she smiled shyly at Cheng Shi and pointed to Cheng Shi's room.

Cheng Shi nodded gracefully, allowing her to go inside and take refuge temporarily.

Shaman bowed gratefully and quickly slipped into the room.

After the assistants dispersed, the woman in the suit, exuding a powerful aura, spoke with a playful expression:

"Nominally an assistant, but actually a spy."

As you can probably see, this little town called Yuanmu Town is being far too welcoming to us travelers from out of town.

I managed to get some information out of the handsome young man in the room: the people here don't Faith any of the gods we know.

They Faith a True God called the Eternal Day.

To the best of my knowledge, I have not found the Divine Name of this True God, nor is He any Subgod any Path of Fate...

Time is limited, and that's all the information we have.

Let me introduce myself: Li Boli, [Existence], Hunter, 2216.

Hunter?

Looking at Li Boli's suit, Cheng Shi thought she was a Singer or Mage, but he didn't expect her to be a Hunter.

Aren't you afraid of having difficulty moving around dressed like that?

However, this woman has a really strong presence and an aggressive gaze. She quickly finished her opening remarks, and then her sharp eyes began to scrutinize her teammates.

The feeling was like searching for prey.

Generally, prey will try to avoid the Hunter's sight.

But this time, someone just happened to come straight at them.

"Hey, it's my rival. Nice to meet you."

Ji Ran, [Nothingness], Warrior, 2076.

A disheveled young man in silk pajamas scratched his messy hair and lazily raised his hand to greet everyone.

The casual and relaxed attitude is like someone who was sound asleep in bed one second, but was suddenly dragged out of bed and forced to attend class the next.

The reactions to the boy varied; some frowned, some raised their eyebrows, but Cheng Shi's face turned dark the moment he glanced at Ji Ran.

Oh no, I've run into another "competitor".

Cheng Shi could tell that Ji Ran's courage to openly declare himself as "Nothingness" behind his "existence" wasn't due to any "excitement or courage to test his skills against an opponent," but rather...

A familiar sense of resignation permeates the air.

He was all too familiar with this feeling of being a slacker, because he was in this state at the beginning of every game.

Cheng Shi pouted and refused to continue.

This is all my work!

And the boy's indifferent expression clearly said:

"Oh yeah, yeah, I'm just a nobody in [Destiny], whatever."

Yes, it's Destiny.

[Nothingness] is a mysterious Path of Fate, because the existence of [Deception] makes it seem that there has always only been one [god] in this Path of Fate.

The Believer of [Deception] will not say that they are His people; they like to pretend to be Believer of other groups, especially [Destiny].

So in this environment, as long as someone says they are "Nothingness," regardless of whether it's "Destiny" or not, just assume they are.

Even if they are scammers, they won't admit it.

Moreover, Cheng Shi had a hunch that this young man must be someone of "Destiny".

As for where this Nothingness feeling came from, he couldn't explain it.

Hiss--

Let's not even talk about how XX God planted a male XX in XX Bureau.

How can we play if we start with two noobs?
