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

Qin Shang looked at Qin Yuyan, who finally gave a resigned smile and sat down in front of him again. The former did not show much contempt. It was indeed unexpected that he had secretly avoided this Mother Goddess and obtained control of the Black Tower. However, as the Mother Goddess, it would be too disrespectful to underestimate her if she only had this much trick up her sleeve. This woman was just showing weakness to him and trying to deceive him by pretending to be harmless.

"I just asked you whether the Divine Path Server was created by you. You didn't answer my question directly, probably because you were embarrassed to usurp the throne. In other words, you are not worthy of the title of Mother Goddess, and it's no wonder that you are trapped in this time loop by the controller of authority."

"But now that I think about it, I can understand why you insisted on staying by the side of the three tycoons!"

"Besides being wary of the 'Bad Marshal' Fang Mo, you two must have had a grudge in the world you came from. It's just that Fang Mo doesn't seem to recognize you here, or rather, he didn't recognize you. Secondly, you also wanted to use the three tycoons to create a source of pollution and a shadow projection site, a corrupted instance. That's why, even though you watched as I pulled you into the Black Tower and interrupted your teleportation, your first thought, without anyone noticing, was that I created a shadow projection site on the roof of the Baifu Group building. The core reason is probably because of you..."

"You've done this quite a few times, haven't you?"

"Shadow projection sites are the shadow projection sites of instances, and instances are spatial interlayers. In other words, as long as there are enough shadow projection sites, you can even freely enter another world's timeline from the reality of one world."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuyan narrowed her eyes, a hint of seriousness appearing in her beautiful gaze.

"So, in the last great cycle, the version of yourself that you have no memory of left you with the last three Yin-Yang dungeons in the Black Tower, right? On the surface, the last three dungeons are what I see, and the other content is what you farm, but in reality, the last three levels that come with the reward of the right to use the Black Tower are another space!"

Their conversation at this moment was already starting to sound like they were each talking past each other.

Neither side admits it, nor do they deny it.

Qin Shang shrugged, but did not answer the question.

Even Qin Yuyan, the Mother Goddess, probably couldn't have imagined Qin Shang's method of evading her prying eyes, because...

The Black Tower, in reality, did not have the so-called three layers of Yin and Yang that she had imagined.

The seemingly legitimate final three levels are left for other players to farm, but the secret three levels are reserved for him to farm...

Ha ha!

Unless Qin Shang is an omniscient and omnipotent god who knows the entire plot in advance, how could he have left such a foreshadowing for himself in the last great cycle?

I was just fooling her...

The real reason is!

I have connections!

Jiang Qiqi!

Through studying the physical comic book "God's Path Game" that he brought back, Qin Shang finally understood that not all plots in comics are perfectly replicated 1:1. For example, if someone does something very despicable, but is a normal person and doesn't portray themselves as the protagonist of the comic, then those things won't appear in this comic.

This is quite normal. When people watch movies, read novels, or watch anime, which author or screenwriter would specifically write a plot unrelated to the main storyline? For example, the protagonist can't sleep the night before going into a dungeon, so his gaze gradually shifts downwards, looking at that friend who always caused him trouble during puberty, and then he turns and goes into the bathroom, enthusiastically engaging in a thorough mutual help with his five fingers and his friend down there...

In reality, sometimes when men are under a lot of pressure late at night, they also want to unleash their inner "wolf," not for any other reason than that "sage mode" helps them sleep better and allows them to sleep more soundly.

But wouldn't it be strange if this kind of thing appeared in some movies, novels, or comics?

Imagine this: in a typical female-oriented novel featuring a "wife-chasing" scenario, the domineering CEO is portrayed as someone who is indifferent to women and spends a long time alone in his office after finishing work each day before going home. If the author were to reveal this...

Actually, he was practicing traditional crafts to relax. Don't you find that strange?

For example, the domineering CEO spends half an hour in the toilet every morning, which puzzles the female lead. The truth is, he has a bad stomach and suffers from constipation…

emm!

Normally, these works would not feature scenes of the protagonist going to the toilet, defecating, or giving some very private relaxation tips.

Qin Yuyan may not have been lying to herself; this was indeed a parallel universe to the worlds where the other two Jiang Qiqis existed. However, that didn't mean that the comic "God's Path Game" would disregard the basic rules of the comic world when it copied her experiences.

No author would draw their male protagonist fighting with both hands in the middle of the night, or pooping and peeing, into a comic!

Therefore, the automatically generated storyline is the same!

How could it possibly depict a scene where the male protagonist goes to the toilet and spends hundreds of millions of dollars?

Therefore, Qin Shang had a very bold idea...

He went into the restroom, where he practiced traditional crafts while continuing the storyline at the back of the comic book. Of course, Qin Shang didn't draw it; he wrote it!

In the "God's Copycat" dungeon, I actually failed to complete it at first. I clearly fainted in the cafeteria...

When he came to his senses again, his consciousness had been on a rollercoaster ride. In the final instant of his return, he was back in the [Elevator Killer] instance scene, and the notification sound of clearing the level rang in his ears. At that moment, Qin Shang realized that Jiang Qiqi seemed to still retain the ability and qualification to create comics in the outside world. In other words, what she drew could also affect the plot. This was why, in [Suiyang Bloodshed], Qin Shang was carried in a sedan chair in [Night Walk] and faced Ivanov, who didn't even bother to reveal a single card.

"Some things weren't originally there, but the author added them in later when needed!"

Qin Shang smiled knowingly, and without further ado, pointed to the chess pieces in his hand.

On the chessboard, in the part left for Qin Yuyan on the other side of the Chu River and Han Border, there are Qin Shang's cannons on both sides of the chess pieces. This is obviously an endgame. No one knows when Qin Shang secretly rearranged the chessboard to create this endgame and left it for himself and her.

Qin Yuyan blinked, then remembered that she had noticed the boy's fingers fiddling with something under the table. At the time, she thought he was just playing with his fingers because he was bored from talking so fast. Now that she thought about it, she realized that he was probably secretly arranging the chessboard under the table, which resulted in this unfinished game, waiting for her to fail to teleport and stay behind to play this game with him.

"But if you want to win, why did you place all our chariots, horses, and cannons right next to your camp? Aren't you worried I'll just give you a checkmate?"

The endgame was set up very strangely. When Qin Yuyan first noticed that she was at a complete disadvantage, she thought that Qin Shang was trying to trap her like a turtle in a jar. But upon closer inspection, she found that it was not like that. On the opposite side, Qin Shang did not leave himself much of an advantage. In fact, her rooks, knights, and cannons were almost cutting into his king's headquarters.

"Let's play chess first!"

"Let's see if Miss Qin can win?"

Qin Shang smiled and gestured for him to proceed.

The magenta suit paired with that mocking expression always gives off a very irritating vibe.

A moment later, Qin Yuyan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

What use are these two pawns who have crossed the river back?

Qin Shang chewed on his tea and snacks while looking up, speaking indistinctly;

"you guess!"

Ok?

Qin Yuyan was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shang swallowed everything in his mouth and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat;

"Tell me about the world you and the Bad Commander came from?"

……

Meanwhile, in a courtyard within a hutong in Yanjing (Beijing).

Yin Shisan stared at the group of people being pushed out of the stage like death row inmates being led to their execution. His eyes were unfathomable, as if a medicine jar had been overturned, filled with mixed emotions.

He understood Grand Secretary Chen's move; he was being forced to surrender...

Right across from this courtyard-style building, a young man was sitting next to a telescope, holding a plate of grapes. He was eating them while making "tui, tui, tui" noises, spitting grape skins all over the ground.

However, several servants were crawling around nearby, none of them daring to speak up and criticize the man's rude behavior at this moment. They were cleaning up after the man vomited, and the scene was quite strange for a while... But, this was his home, so naturally he could do whatever he wanted to be comfortable!

"Yin Shisan's lifelong dream is to enter the cabinet. Now the opportunity is in front of him. No matter what he chooses, at least for now, he has been rewarded and we have given him a way out. If he turns a blind eye, everyone can get by on the surface. He will be able to secure his position as the sixth Grand Secretary. But if he insists on going his own way and upholds justice today, upholding the so-called justice in his eyes and the justice he speaks of, then today's first day in office will also be the last day that Grand Secretary Yin can live in this world."

"After all, the initiative has already fallen into our hands..."

"The current situation is quite interesting!"

"A mini-cabinet meeting, hahaha!"

"The fact that all the wanted players who were transferred from the gambling world to Wanbaowu were detained must have surprised Yin Shisan and Qin Shang, right?"

"Next, naturally, is the pre-meeting procedure: to try these wanted players!"

"If Yin Shisan is heartless and thinks it doesn't matter if these people die, then he's basically just a dog that can be tamed. No matter how much he used to bark, to put it bluntly, as long as you put grilled chicken breast in front of him, he'll still just shut up and eat, and he won't dare to bite anyone."

"But if he dares to stand up for these wanted players, then we'll have the other elders work together to kill him instantly. Then we'll use the fact that Yin Shisan and the Red-Clothed Cult Leader of Wanbao House are cousins, and that Yin Shisan once submitted a case report claiming that Zhang Xiaofang had died in the contaminated dungeon, to prove that he, the White-Clothed Swordsman, had seduced wanted players. We'll nail him to the pillar of shame. Not only will Yin Shisan not gain any benefits, but the reputation he has pursued for half his life will also be ruined."

"This is a choice that will make him feel uncomfortable and disgusted no matter which one he chooses."

"Moreover, even if he chooses to submit, we will have leverage over him from now on. His cousin, Pei Ziqi, is the Red-Clothed Cult Leader of Wanbaowu, and these wanted players who fled the gambling world were captured from Pei Ziqi. So, since his cousin colluded with wanted players, it's basically the same as him colluding with wanted players. I can use this against him for the rest of his life. Even if Yin Shisan really swallows his anger today, and really becomes the sixth Grand Elder in the future, he will still be controlled by others. Every time he has the thought of practicing the so-called righteous path in his heart, this matter will surface in his mind..."

"People live for fame and fortune!"

"Who truly doesn't care about fame and fortune? Who doesn't seek recognition before or after death? Isn't it true that you can only live comfortably by turning a blind eye? Death is just a blink of an eye, a kick of the leg, and that's it, right? Why care about so many trivial things!"

"Moreover, having gained the upper hand, we are now more confident in facing Yin Shisan, who has the old man's evidence of colluding with players from other regions in the training dungeon. If this guy has any brains, he won't tear up the mask at this moment and reveal that the old man colluded with the first region to try to have their people ambush him and Qin Shang in the training dungeon by any means necessary. After all, no one will believe it. It's just like a couple arguing; often, the one with the stronger tolerance is the one who suffers more in the marriage."

"After all, suppose your partner did something that upset you recently, but you didn't say anything at the time... For you, the emotion has passed, but the matter hasn't!"

"After a while, your partner gets into a fight with you over the same thing, and you suddenly explode. If you bring up the things you were unhappy about last time, then you're basically without a legitimate reason. It's not that you can't bring up old grievances, it's just..."

"You only brought this up now that the other party has the upper hand, which makes it seem like you're trying to gain an advantage even when you're in the wrong, and you're trying to save face by force!"

"In this matter, if Yin Shisan were to use the issue of Elder Chen's collusion with the First Region to launch an attack in an attempt to protect the wanted players, it would seem as if they had indeed been in cahoots beforehand. Yin Shisan only brought up the matter of Elder Chen and the players from the First Region in the Black Tower training dungeon for the sake of those wanted players. From an outsider's perspective, this would seem more like a cover-up and a way to change the subject!"

"It will only highlight Yin Shisan's guilty conscience!"

"so……"

"At this point, exposing and publicly revealing the old man's crimes is futile. First, no one will believe it. Second, any online trolls can easily sway the narrative, making people believe that Yin Shisan has connections with those wanted players currently on stage. That's why they chose this moment to expose the old man's collusion with players from the first region, allowing them to enter the 'Black Tower,' which led to the deaths of many players participating in the training dungeon. A few online trolls can easily smooth things over and continue pointing the finger at Yin Shisan!"

After saying this, the man spat out a few more mouthfuls of grape skins, making a "tui, tui, tui" sound.

If Qin Shang were here, how could he not recognize this guy? Isn't he Chen Boxu, who disappeared with Elder Chen for two weeks?
