I Suspect He Gave Us Fake Intel

At the same time.

"This is the reward."

Fan Lixin, sporting an afro, showed Yan Fushou the reward his Sifu had given him. "My assessment is also that this dungeon is not suitable for large-scale promotion on the front lines, because there is almost no possibility of taking shortcuts or cheating, and the soldiers don't have that much time."

On the other hand, I also feel that things in the dungeon, such as enemy tactics, are worth learning—the frontline Patrollers and the entire Strategy Group, those who have the time and talent, all deserve to clear this dungeon.

Yan Fushou remained silent for a moment, then asked, "----The enemy's tactics?"

"Right!"

Fan Lixin raised his right arm and clenched his fist. "Taking myself as an example, after completing this dungeon, I really feel that my understanding of combat has improved significantly. It's truly a treasure trove!"

Yan Fushou wasn't disbelieving.

But just hearing this makes it hard to have a real sense of it.

It's not suitable for frontline promotion, but it can help talented individuals gain a deeper understanding of combat?

Fan Lixin saw through his thoughts.

He thought for a moment and explained, "Director, you'll understand once you go in there yourself. Observe the enemy's moves carefully, and you'll understand what I mean."

"But remember to stay calm once you're inside. Don't be afraid of the enemy's dazzling superpowers, and don't get angry because of your low stats."

"That's just a facade—superpowers and the protagonist's weak attributes are all facades that Lu Xiu deliberately put on to put pressure on the players. No matter how dazzling the superpowers are, they're just external cheat codes. The real treasure lies in the moves and techniques behind those superpowers."

Recalling his experience in the dungeon, Fan Lixin continued, "Especially the bosses and elite enemies inside, they were really strong. I dare say in pure physical combat—they were stronger than 99% of the players in Nine Provinces!"

"And most importantly, their movement logic and power trajectory can all be analyzed and dissected. We can definitely learn their movements and break down their techniques."

At this point, Fan Lixin paused, then continued, "Especially a brat like Wei Yidong, who has high stats and skills but lacks real fighting ability, should really spend some time in this dungeon to learn how to fight properly. Paired with Sekiro, the effect would be excellent."

"If previous versions of Lu Xiu's works were somewhat exaggerated, then this version is quite the opposite."

"This bizarre dungeon where even roadside minions can casually use superpowers, once you strip away the superpower elements, is actually the most realistic of all her dungeons."

"This instance may not directly benefit ordinary soldiers on the front lines, but its value is equally immense."

After listening, Yan Fushou remained silent for a while, then nodded thoughtfully.

On the other side.

Ever since that post by "Du Shu of Tingqiao" appeared.

The overall tone of the forum shifted.

Initially, there weren't many changes.

The majority of people remain skeptical, believing that the martial arts mentioned in the post are a scam.

The post is just trying to lure players in to be slaughtered like pigs.

Lu Xiu just wanted to torment everyone! She didn't think about anything else!

But the rewards are just too good to pass up – even if top players think it's a scam, they can't possibly ignore this dungeon.

As more and more top players saw the rewards, gritted their teeth, adjusted their mindset, and stepped back into the dungeon, the situation began to change.

They were still being abused.

But this time, thanks to the post, just like Jiang Qiu, they finally noticed the underlying mechanisms and death penalties of the dungeon, and realized the true value of the Sifu Dungeon.

The posts about breaking defenses that filled the forum not long ago have gradually disappeared.

Instead, it was the insights Take Their Place that mattered.

----My experience of getting beaten up.

It sounds strange to say it like that.

But that is indeed the case.

[Holy crap! So that's how you fight?! The weight transfer and power trajectory perfectly match the logic of real-world combat. It feels like I could practice those enemy moves in real life, especially the bosses' moves.]

[Are you stunned? What are you talking about?]

[No, the original poster is actually quite right—putting aside superpowers, the enemy's moves are fierce and ruthless, with incredibly skillful switching between feints and real attacks, and strong continuity; they're truly practical!]

Indeed, Lu Xiu seems to know a lot about this.

[I've reached the first boss! The design is brilliant. Although I wanted to curse while fighting it, I have to admit it's really powerful. It uses offense as defense, solid and direct attacks, not just brute force. The moves are distinct and unique; each move may look ordinary, but they are all extremely well-executed.]

[That's right. Putting aside the superpowers, many of the enemies in this dungeon have very interesting moves. The focus is on practical combat, with all moves designed around generating power for self-defense and defeating the enemy in one strike—there's not a single unnecessary movement.]

[The Neutralize is also quite interesting; it feels like you're forced to learn how to dismantle an enemy's tactics, because if you don't learn, you really can't Neutralize!]

[Really? Is it that amazing? Lu Xiu is just a Architect, how could she know all this stuff?]

[Speaking of the first boss, haven't some people said that his moves are somewhat similar to a certain style of Southern Chinese martial arts?]

[Yes, you can check out the analysis post by Du Shu.]

[----]

The advantages of dungeons are gradually being noticed by more and more people.

People started discussing tactics.

People have started discussing different styles of martial arts.

Some people have begun to discuss whether it is necessary to Neutralize the enemy's actions to resolve the situation.

The entire forum inexplicably felt like a place seeking the truth.

At the same time.

The Coordination Bureau is an underground prison.

Queenie sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the Nine Provinces forum.

She watched as this group of Nine Provinces players, who had gone from frantically breaking through enemy defenses a few days ago, suddenly transformed into a group so eager and thirsty, seemingly wanting to dissect and learn every single move of the dungeon enemies—

stunned.

That's not right!

Queenie's mind was buzzing.

How did it suddenly turn out like this?!

Weren't these people just complaining about how overpowered that dungeon was a few days ago?

Back then, she was truly shocked when she saw that Lu Xiu's new dungeon was completely different from the one in Prison Rock, and after witnessing Lu Xiu's successful completion of the dungeon, she was deeply impressed.

He even immediately thought of the Apostle he had overheard about—and began to worry about what Prison Rock would face in the new version when confronting Nine Provinces.

The Prison Rock dungeon framework she revealed to Yan Fushou is representative precisely because many Prison Rock Prison Rock like it, and many of them are indeed accustomed to fighting unarmed.

The dungeons Lu Xiu is making now are even more extreme and perverse than those made by Prison Rock.

When the new version is released?

Can the players from Prison Rock really still surpass Nine Provinces in this area?

This thought lingered in her mind until she personally entered the instance.

Then she felt relieved.

That's insane!

This is indeed more extreme and insane than the Prison Rock instance, but it's far too extreme and insane!

How could they possibly win?!

All I can say is that this Architect truly has the potential to become Apostle. He's so proud of himself, Constructed Instance entirely according to his own standards, completely disregarding the lives of other players.

When you realize this.

Queenie immediately felt much more at ease.

Lu Xiu is indeed very strong, and perhaps one day she can truly become the Apostle those people talk about, but at least in this new version, the effect of her new dungeon should still be limited.

After all, it's pointless if no one can beat the game.

Hand-to-hand combat remains Prison Rock's forte.

That was what she originally thought.

But inexplicably, in less than a few days...

How did that torturous and twisted instance of Lu Xiu turn into an invaluable treasure?!

What on earth are these players talking about?

You're telling me this insanely difficult dungeon is a treasure trove?

Martial arts schools?

What is all this nonsense?!

Queenie's face grew increasingly grim as she read the forum posts. She reopened the dungeon archive and found the Sifu dungeon.

Lu Xiu wasn't proudly Constructed Instance according to her own standards and demanding things from players?

She was actually prepared?!

Such an insane dungeon! Are you prepared?

Are you kidding me!

How could someone like that not be proud!

Queenie looked at the posts on the forum where people clearly felt they had learned something, and the more she thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

At that time, Prison Rock ----

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

No, no.

Queenie shook her head, suddenly remembering that there was also a traitorous player from Nine Provinces on Prison Rock's side.

He should have cleared Lu Xiu's dungeon! He should have explained things to Lord Helag long ago!

Lord Helag should understand the style of Lu Xiu's dungeon and make ample preparations accordingly!

No problem -- it's not a big problem.

Lu Xiu hasn't truly matured yet! Neither have the players here! Both sides are clearly still working together, and she's definitely not invincible!

only----

Can that traitor from Nine Provinces really explain Lu Xiu's story clearly?

Are the characteristics of the Lu Xiu replica something that can be clearly explained?

No—does it really have any unique features?

Queenie recalled Lu Xiu's five instances, and her expression turned even uglier.

At the same time.

Prison Rock, Stargazing Platform.

Queenie was unaware that the traitor she had placed so much hope in was currently facing a severe crisis of trust.

"You mean—this is the dungeon built by the top Architect in Nine Provinces?"

The tall, robed Helag stared at his leader in disbelief.

The leader nodded. "Based on the intelligence from the special event, this instance best represents the skill level of that top Architect from Nine Provinces, because the Architect himself is using the techniques employed in this instance."

"So you want me to copy this copy?"

"Yes, although it seems a bit difficult, it's definitely very valuable for reference----"

"Leader, if you have a problem with me and want to kill me, just say so."

Helag pointed at the window in front of him. "This isn't just a little difficult! This isn't even a reference! How can this be a copy?! You want me to do this?! Design a mechanism for Deflect??? And then have me parry them??? And fight cavalry with a sword?! Are you even speaking human language???"

The leader looked embarrassed. "But according to Zhang Chongshan, what about the Nine Provinces— "

"Then find Architect from Nine Provinces to do it!"

Helag stated bluntly, "I definitely can't!"

"Besides!"

She glanced at Zhang Chongshan beside her, whose expression was strange, her eyes filled with wariness. "I now seriously suspect that this person provided false information! How could anyone possibly complete this kind of dungeon, let alone verify a successful run?! It's either fake, or it's an exaggeration! That's my judgment as Architect!"

31

Upon hearing this, the leader seemed to be deep in thought, then slowly turned his head to look at Zhang Chongshan.

Zhang Chongshan:

", no!

How can these people be so bad?!
