Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

Although Qin Shang knew that there were definitely more than six dungeons in the Black Tower, and that there were always one or two at a time, and that players would simply trigger different dungeons based on the number of people, he was still confused by Mr. Dog's words...

My first five copies were...

The first copy is [Echoes from the Deep Old Alley], the second is [Escape from the Cage], the third is [Break Out from the Siege], the fourth is [Elevator Killer], and the fifth is [God's Imitator]. For Qin Shang, [Suiyang Bloodshed] at this moment is already the sixth copy after entering the Black Tower.

But Gou Gongzi actually said that this was her fifth copy, but both of them also appeared in [Suiyang Bloodshed]. Does this mean that she only cleared four copies with Gou Gongzi?

Then how did we end up entering the same level of the Black Tower?

Does this mean that in the Black Tower, except for me, no one else has the chance to enter the ninth floor, that is, to complete nine dungeons, so compared to other players, my progress will be one level faster than theirs?

That's not right, this is the sixth floor...

"This dungeon is going to be tough. The opposing boss is most likely at the Rule Realm, or perhaps someone in this dungeon has already reached the Rule Realm and become the leader of the opposing faction!"

The autumn wind was howling, and the surroundings were filled with straw piles, low earthen houses, and a tall city behind them.

Qin Shang heard Mr. Gou speak again, and he couldn't help but ask;

"How do you know this is a Rule Realm copy?"

Hearing this, Mr. Gou casually glanced around the surrounding environment, confirming that there was no danger, and then said lightly;

“Because of the backdrop!”

"You've become an Order Realm player, and you still don't know? Didn't Yin Shisan tell you that in the background board, the closer to modern times the dungeon is, the lower the level. For example, most Law Realm dungeons are from modern times or the 1980s and 1990s. Of course, there are rare ones from the last two hundred years, but at most they won't be more than two hundred years old, which means they'll go back to the Qing Dynasty at most. As for the background boards in the Order Realm dungeons, at most they'll go back to the Ming Dynasty. And the difficulty level is actually linked to the era... For example, in the Law Realm dungeon, if a dungeon has a background board from the last ten or so years, it's 80% likely a B-level Law Realm dungeon."

"But if the background appears in the 70s or 80s, then there's no doubt it's at least A. If it's like your first dungeon, [Death Train], which is almost 200 years old, then it's 100% S. The same goes for the Order Realm. If there are elements of the Ming Dynasty in it, then it's a sure thing it's S. As for the backgrounds from the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties before that, they're almost all exclusive to the Rule Realm. Anyway, I've played S-level Order Realm dungeons before, but I've never encountered backgrounds before the Song Dynasty..."

The Anshi Rebellion took place during the Tang Dynasty.

The background here is the Tang Dynasty.

"So I'm almost 100% certain that this dungeon is S-level, and it's also a Rule Realm dungeon. In other words, this means that this dungeon definitely contains dangers and elements of the Rule Realm..."

Awesome!

Is there such a thing?

Qin Shang rubbed his chin, revealing an expression of confusion and awe.

When he was clearing dungeons in the past, Qin Shang didn’t pay much attention to the background board. After all, his dungeons were either S or A.

Can studying the background board make the ruthless Shen Lu Shao match him with a few S-level copies?

Obviously not.

Only then did he notice that Mr. Gou's clothes had undergone a drastic change. At this moment, Mr. Gou's clothes had turned into thin armor, and there was an extra metal helmet on his head that looked very consistent with the current era of cold weapons. The color was a bit dull, but the Tang Dynasty's technology of quenching iron and making steel was already quite good to this level. After all, it was not intended to resist defenses such as guns and cannons. This level of hardness should have no problem resisting ordinary sword and gun slashing, unless one was unlucky enough to be stabbed in the vitals.

Of course, Qin Shang also noticed that there seemed to be something heavy on his body. He looked down with a strange expression. He actually had an identical piece of armor on his body. However, compared with Mr. Gou's relatively good-looking image, his own armor was a little difficult to evaluate... From top to bottom, there was almost no intact place, and all of it showed signs of damage.

What's even more amazing is that there's an arrow stuck in his chest, but the arrow didn't penetrate his skin and was blocked by his armor...

However, compared to the images of the two people, Qin Shang was more curious about the current situation in the copy.

If you think carefully, based on the clues given by Mr. Gou just now, you can know that the two of them are currently in an S-level rule realm and in a confrontational copy. If possible, Qin Shang actually hopes that he can have a master of the rule realm on his side. According to the content of the background board, it is very likely that he currently belongs to the "Deadpool Camp" of Zhang Xun's department.

In other words, the person with the highest status at the moment is Zhang Xun.

In other words, if Zhang Xun's troops on our side of the defense are not players in the Rule Realm, it can be basically confirmed that the Rule Realm powerhouses in this copy are among the opposing rebels.

"The first wave of the siege has been temporarily suspended, but the enemy will not slack off easily. Loot weapons from the enemy corpses, organize armor, and pay attention to the next wave of attacks. For the rest of the survivors, use the door panels donated by the people to build temporary shelters and prepare a pile of rolling stones. Deputy Qin, count the weapons..."

"Move quickly!"

At this moment, a majestic male voice sounded from not far away.

Qin Shang and Gou Gongzi looked at each other in shock. Then, Qin Shang had an intuition in his subconscious mind. He felt that if Deputy Qin was not mistaken, it was most likely him who was calling out.

The next moment, Qin Shang turned his head and noticed a man in silver armor standing not far from the top of the city wall.

His armor was torn in many places, and the cloak behind him was shaky, but his body was straight.

Standing on the top of the city wall is like a long spear, forming an eye-catching landscape.

The man held a sword in his hand, blood dripping from it.

"Damn it! I knew it was you, this idiot!"

Qin Shang's mouth twitched and he immediately reacted.

It was indeed Mr. Yin.

At this moment, Qin Shang also noticed the scene under his feet.

This is a stone wall, about twenty meters high and about thirty to forty meters wide. If you were not standing on the edge, you would almost think it was flat ground. All around it were either piles of straw or some burning wooden walls.

At the same time, Qin Shang's heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

I reopened the attribute panel and took a look at the main storyline and background board of [Suiyang Bloodshed].

[Main Quest: Help Zhang Xun's troops defend Suiyang City]

[Hidden mission for the Fraudster class: Delay the rebels' offensive until reinforcements arrive]

Seeing this, Qin Shang's expression changed slightly.

The hidden mission does not say that you have to defeat the rebels, but wait for reinforcements to arrive.

In other words, it means that within the concept of the Divine Path, this task is already very difficult to accomplish.

Helping Zhang Xun's troops delay the rebels is an extremely difficult task.

Otherwise, according to Shenlu's nature, the hidden mission would most likely require him to help Zhang Xun's troops defeat the rebels.

Thinking of this, Qin Shang's face twitched.

The next moment, Qin Shang let out a long sigh of relief towards Mr. Gou in despair;

"It seems you guessed wrong. We have a Rule Realm here, but there may not be only one Rule Realm in this instance..."

If there is only one Rule Realm master, and this Rule Realm master is on our side, then our chances of winning should still be very high, and it will not be an insurmountable gap for the Divine Road server to assume that it can complete the task of delaying the arrival of reinforcements.

But Master Yin was obviously already a player in the Rule Realm. This was not because Qin Shang possessed some special ability like in fantasy novels that could detect a person's strength through his breath, but because before entering the Black Tower, Yin Shisan was rumored to be the number one player below the Rule Realm, and had been stuck at 99% experience value at level 6 for a long time.

And now he has reached the sixth floor of the Black Tower. He has completed the transformation from the Lawful Realm to the Order Realm, and even stepped into the Level 5 Order Realm after clearing the [God's Imitation]. It would be too outrageous if Master Yin is still stuck in the Order Realm. Isn't this pure nonsense?

However, with Master Yin, who is at the Rule Realm, in charge, the server is not optimistic about their side and does not require him, a professional player of the Trickster, to increase his strength. There is only one possibility.

The deterrent power that a player in the Rule Realm can exert in this dungeon is quite limited.

The following reasoning is very simple...

Under what circumstances would a Rule Realm player's deterrent power be so limited, so limited that even though this Rule Realm player is a companion in our camp, even the Divine Road server is not optimistic about him, can we turn the tables with the help of this Rule Realm player?

That is……

There are also players in the Rule Realm on the opposite side.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that Qin Shang is now a level 5 Order Realm player.

Level 5: 10% experience points.

When Qin Shang finished [Elevator Killer], his experience value was level 4 with 65%. When he finished [God's Imitation], Qin Shang was already level 5 the moment he opened his eyes and returned to the comic world.

"Servant Smoke, help this deputy count the weapons!"

"I'm going to report to Yin...Zhang Xun's department."

The next moment, Qin Shang patted Mr. Gou's shoulder, deliberately cleared his throat and spoke loudly.

There were still a few scattered traces of other players from the same camp around.

Most people were doing their respective jobs and carrying out the work assigned to them by Master Yin.

It is obvious from his status that Master Yin is from Zhang Xun's army.

Since he called himself a deputy, Qin Shang’s status in this copy must be quite high.

At this time, he learned to take advantage of the power of others.

Hearing this, Mr. Gou immediately glared at him fiercely with a malicious look on his face.

But the woman said nothing, snorted coldly and turned to go back to work. It was obvious that she had succumbed to the tyranny of a lackey backed by a big boss. At this time, she held Qin Shang in front of Yin Shisan and raised her fist to threaten him, "Damn it, you are so bold! You are so brave that you dare to threaten me?" The final result would most likely not be Qin Shang surrendering, but Yin Shisan frowning and protecting him.

Besides, we are now in the same camp, so we can barely be considered a community of interests.

Qin Shang did this, I'm afraid he has something to say to Yin Shisan...

The next moment, seeing Mr. Gou running to the city wall to count the weapons, Qin Shang touched his nose in disappointment and grinned.

Then his eyes turned to Master Yin, who was dressed in snow-white, oh no, silver-white.

Yin Shisan was standing on the top of the city wall like a stabilizing force. Qin Shang suspected that if the rebels sounded the charge again, the first person they would hit would be him, a sitting duck. However, he obviously didn't dare to say this directly to Yin Shisan.

"You were able to complete an entire dungeon peacefully with that woman. I really underestimated your ability to grasp a woman's temperament."

Immediately afterwards, as Qin Shang walked to Master Yin's side, he smelled the smell of gunpowder.

He lowered his head to look at the city below, and found that something had blasted a big hole in the city wall.
