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

The Black Tower's barrier finally enveloped the open space outside the detention center. Seeing this, Qin Shang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; he had finally succeeded. As for the professional hacker who had been trying to hack into Xu Mingyang's phone and send messages to him using Goddess No. 1's contacts not far away, he cursed under his breath, his face full of anger. He never expected that a message would pop up on his computer screen saying that the other party had hung up...

"You used your professional hacking skills to hack into an ordinary person's phone. Even though the other person didn't answer the phone and it didn't affect their relationship, theoretically, this still counts as attacking an ordinary person and shouldn't you lose reputation points? I just don't know how much..."

The next moment, Qin Shang clapped his hands, a relaxed look appearing on his face.

Old Xu trusted himself, and sure enough, he didn't answer the phone or turn around to walk this way.

Without the burden of Lao Xu becoming the other side's prisoner, Qin Shang can confidently unleash his full potential and go all out!

The next moment, the small tower in my hand emitted a crisp hum.

In a daze, the players of the Divine Path present heard a sound like a resounding bell.

Qin Shang exhaled a breath of stale air.

The Black Tower's barrier has been formed!

This place is completely separated from the real world. Even from the outside, it looks like just a few normal bushes. In addition, Qin Shang did not leave an entrance to the shadow projection area, so even if other people came to this area, they would not be so unlucky as to fall into this battlefield.

Upon hearing this, the mushroom-headed hacker from the Rules of the Star Gate glanced at Qin Shang. With a movement of his neck, he also shook his head. Seeing this, Qin Shang couldn't help but suppress a laugh. In fact, apart from the early years of the 70s and 80s, it seems that there are not many guys with mushroom heads on the streets of the United States now. After all, with their angular and deep-set eyes, and their iconic white features, if they also like to grow a beard, to be honest, it really gave Qin Shang the illusion of a Bichon Frise shaking its head.

There's something I'm not sure if I should say, brother, you look like a dog...

"Among the Rule Realm players who have appeared on the other side, there is an assassin, a swordsman, a hacker, and a thief. The assassin has extremely high burst damage, so be careful of his sneak attacks. The swordsman is just a replica of a martial artist, so he can be less dangerous. As long as I can get the Rain Night Killer to stop him, I can free up my hands to deal with those squishy guys. After taking down the squishy guys, with the help of the other weirdos, dealing with the brainless swordsman won't be difficult. It's unrealistic for the Rain Night Killer to defeat a true Rule Realm Divine Path player. In the meantime, he probably won't be able to free up his hands to help me. But all I need is for him to be able to stop that swordsman player!"

Thinking of this, Qin Shang subtly clenched the hem of his clothes, feeling a layer of cold sweat appear on his palm.

The mockery and smugness on his face gradually faded.

Although he slightly disrupted the opponent's open scheme, it doesn't mean that Qin Shang has the strength to confront seven players at the Rule Realm head-on!

"First, kill the hackers and cyborgs. One of them has powerful computing power and can calculate our fighting style and my trump cards. Every move must be made with caution. If we can't succeed, we must not easily test the waters. After all, if it falls into the hands of a professional hacker, it is a piece of fresh data. If we make a few more moves, they will basically figure out my killer moves!"

"The other is that it has the ability to interfere with others, comparable to that of a hypnotist."

"If these two guys don't die, the final outcome of this battle will most likely not tip in my favor..."

Qin Shang clicked his tongue.

"I don't know the other players' Divine Path professions yet, but it's probably just a combination of different professions. After all, if I remember correctly, the five elders of the Chinese Bad People Organization also have different professions. Maybe this is something the Divine Path did on purpose!"

Despite knowing that the Mother Goddess is Qin Yuyan and that he is a character in a comic book, Qin Shang does not disagree with the view that the world of "God's Path Game" actually exists, according to Qin Yuyan. So, is the supernatural phenomenon of God's Path really just created because of a girl from another world who had a fleeting idea in her mind?

No, that's absolutely not true!

And I just asked Qin Yuyan, and her answer was no...

The Divine Path is not the organization Qin Yuyan claims to belong to. Even if 'Ghost Card' possesses technology far ahead of its time, it is absolutely impossible for them to be the creator of the Divine Path.

So, there is still a very interesting, biggest unsolved mystery!

Where exactly did the Divine Path come from?

Right now, Qin Shang didn't have time to think about this question, but he couldn't help but ponder it. It was highly likely that the number of players at the Rule Realm level for each profession could only exist at a certain limit at any given time. Furthermore, due to their inherent personalities, they were often at odds with each other. Therefore, in any group or organization, at most, only one of each profession's peak-level players would appear.

It's like how players who are hypnotists or con artists naturally dislike martial artists, or how players who are teachers or doctors naturally dislike priests, and how players who are priests dislike mechanics...

The reason for this hierarchy of contempt based on personality traits is quite simple. Most of the time, players who obtain the corresponding class cards based on the mechanics, such as the con artist and hypnotist, are generally considered to have a high IQ. However, what is frustrating is that in multiplayer dungeons, they will inevitably encounter players of the martial artist class sooner or later, and more or less experience the annoyance of being dragged down by a brainless martial artist!

It would be a miracle if players with professions like con artist or hypnotist liked these martial artists!

It's understandable that teachers and doctors dislike priests. Players in the teacher and doctor professions are either like Yin Shisan, with their own personal beliefs, or they are the type of people who resolutely obey organizational coordination and value and prefer teamwork. For example, the cross-dressing guy called 'Big Sister' that Qin Shang encountered in the [Death Train] dungeon was clearly someone with his own personal beliefs or team beliefs.

Homosexuals, cross-dressers, or men who want to be women and women who want to be men, also belong to a special sexual orientation group. It's strange to describe this as a group belief, but there are indeed quite a few such people in reality, and they do have their own groups and circles.

Just like those gay guys on a certain forum years ago who kept shouting that gay love was the only true love and that men and women were just there to procreate, they genuinely wanted to bring their sexual orientation to the forefront, hoping that China could officially accept these homosexuals...

However, it was later suppressed by the powerful forces of the Heavenly Palace!

It's understandable that they dislike pastors...

Most professional priest gamers are religious believers.

For example, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Catholicism, Taoism...

Anyone with this kind of belief will almost always be assigned the priest class by the Divine Path when they become a player. As for staunch atheists, those who believe in personality cults or pursue gender equality and equal rights are more like sociologists and theologians. It would be a miracle if they could get along with each other!

"The Divine Path is more likely something that originally existed in a certain world. It just so happens that I live in this world, and Jiang Qiqi just so happens to have created a comic book in another world called 'The Divine Path Game.' The setting of the book coincidentally fits this supernatural phenomenon that happens to exist in one of the many universes in the myriad worlds!"

These chaotic thoughts actually appeared in the blink of an eye. Qin Shang's attention was mainly focused on the few Rule Realm players who were eyeing him covetously. Among them, the Martial Master, no, Swordsman, Rule Realm player was completely restrained by Shen Xiuxiu in her red wedding dress and the elevator killer. Qin Shang's attention was more focused on the mushroom-headed hacker and the other hacker who had been stabbed by him in the first place.

The aura emanating from the other party was not as terrifying as the observers he had faced in the Black Tower instance "Breakout," nor were there any sky-covering beams of light to frighten him, but Qin Shang did not feel relaxed at all.

"Are you licking a cockroach's jade feet?"

Just then, one of the shorter foreigners jumped down from the stone platform in the grass with a loud thud. Only then did Qin Shang notice him. If he hadn't spoken up, Qin Shang wouldn't have realized there was such a short person hiding there. From the clumsy way the man jumped down, Qin Shang even doubted whether he was a real Divine Path player or just a puppet or some other strange entity. After all, Divine Path players received a boost as they leveled up, but overall, the boost wasn't very strong, especially for classes in the second region other than Martial Artists. However, Qin Shang could also clearly feel that compared to his sickly state when he first got brain cancer, his… His physical fitness has really improved a lot. If Qin Shang was a person with poor coordination before, it was only because he was capable of taking care of himself and could dress, cook, run, and walk normally, so it went unnoticed. If Qin Shang had tried to learn some folk dance, street dance, Pilates, or similar activities back then, he would have been surprised to find that even his most basic balance was far from good. In some handstands or one-handed push-ups, he even had difficulty maintaining his balance. However, after becoming a Divine Path player, and currently a professional player of the Order Realm, the enhancement to his physical tissues brought about by this skill would allow him to go to a dance studio and become a dance prodigy praised by teachers!

Putting aside other things, at least for a young person in their mid-twenties who has never trained in track and field sports, being able to coordinate their limbs in rhythmic movements without being unable to react in time and using the same hand or foot simultaneously is already considered a talent-level athlete!

"When you're not talking, I almost thought you were a statue..."

The next moment, Qin Shang clicked his tongue, first glancing at the professional hacker who had been eyeing him menacingly ever since he stabbed himself in the neck, and then added a sentence.

"To be honest, before he spoke, I almost thought he was an inflatable doll you brought to liven things up!"

Upon hearing this, the other party, the player who had just jumped down from the stone block, instead of being angry, laughed.

"Not denying it is essentially the same as admitting it!"

"The best way to hunt down a professional swindler is to trap them inside a dungeon with attribute items, making them very difficult to kill. But I've suddenly had a new idea. I don't intend to kill you anymore; I have a more advantageous plan. Today, during the preliminary meeting of the sixth cabinet selection conference being held by your Second Region's Bad Guys organization, the Bad Guy Commander appeared, and some unexpected events occurred. It's very likely that the matter that caused such a stir on your Divine Path player official forum a while ago will be brought up again. I understand..."

"In your recent training mission, the people we sent out by the Star Gate organization returned empty-handed and became your prisoners. Some of them must have advanced to the Rule Realm. Based on our organization's past investigations and research on the White-Clad Swordsman, it's highly likely you intend to use him as a witness to provide testimony. After all, the Chinese like to pride themselves on being a land of etiquette, and they like to emphasize procedural justice and having a legitimate reason for their actions. Using Shetar, whom you currently hold, as evidence, you intend to prove that Grand Secretary Chen colluded with the First Region. This was discussed in an internal meeting of your organization. We at the Star Gate don't care what happens to Grand Secretary Chen..."
