Why, do you want to enjoy it too?

Cheng Shi nodded faintly.

"Not bad. We met by chance in a trial. In order to facilitate her actions, this crazy woman kept stealing my identity. I was very unhappy, so I used her own way to treat her, and also stole her identity.

However, although my impersonation caused her a lot of trouble, this crazy woman didn't care at all, and even took pleasure in it.

So I became even more unhappy, and then I used her name to do a bunch of... *cough cough*... unspeakable ugly things.

As for what happened later, you probably know better than I do.

I don't even know the things you've heard yet.

Alright, I've finished the story you wanted to hear. Now, why don't you tell me, what exactly did she say to take revenge on me?"

Xiang Honglin sneered upon hearing this.

"Zhen Yi, you're still lying!

Do you think I'll believe you?"

"Heh." Cheng Shi's gaze became incomparably mocking. "Now I'm actually curious. I really want to know, as a Chosen One that an ordinary player couldn't see even if they broke their neck looking up, how did you get scammed by that crazy woman into this state?

Ms. Xiang Honglin, since this is a support group for patients, why don't you share your own condition? How about it?"

Hearing this, the shock and suspicion in Xiang Honglin's eyes finally subsided a little. She first spat fiercely, then took a long breath and said:

"Bad luck!"

Yo, you know it's bad luck too?

"Tell me in detail." Cheng Shi chuckled, his face full of playfulness.

Cheng Shi's attitude didn't look afraid, nor was there the slightest tension. And all of this, in the eyes of his teammates, naturally meant that this person had the confidence to fight against a Chosen One, or even 1v5.

That's right, how could someone who dared to scam even Zhen Yi be an ordinary hand!

Thus, everyone's gaze toward Cheng Shi changed slightly.

This seemed to be a big shot who didn't show his fame. Although he didn't report his score, at his stage, scores didn't matter anymore.

Xiang Honglin also finally recovered. She saw it—Cheng Shi was probably not Zhen Yi, otherwise everyone would have already become a bigger joke at this moment.

"Old history is not worth mentioning..." Her complexion changed first, as if recalling something bad, and then she squeezed out a reluctant smile and looked at Cheng Shi. "You kid are capable. There aren't many people who can scam Zhen Yi. I admire you. But are you really a Fate Weaver?

【Fate】 can't fool 【Deception】, right?"

Obviously, she still had doubts about Cheng Shi's identity. And it wasn't just her; everyone was thinking about whether Cheng Shi was a Fate Weaver. After all, 【Fate】 charlatans weren't good at scamming people.

They were only good at fooling people.

Seeing that he had turned the tide and saved the almost collapsed opening, Cheng Shi's tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment.

Thank goodness, thank goodness. As long as you don't suspect I'm Zhen Yi, no matter what you question, I can make up a few words.

It's too hard, I'm really too hard...

Cheng Shi's thoughts were chaotic, but on the surface, he hummed and laughed:

"Alright, no need to do some ridiculous probing. Could I possibly hide whether I'm a Fate Weaver from all of your sharp eyes?

The farce should end. Why don't we discuss how to start this absurd trial."

After a long tug-of-war, the topic finally returned to the right track under Cheng Shi's unremitting efforts.

Although everyone still had doubts about Cheng Shi's identity, fortunately, this "identity war" triggered by Mouth Brother had been turned over.

Cheng Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and finally had time to greet his dear Mouth Brother.

Lips of Foolish Play! You'd better behave yourself, otherwise...

Don't force me to beg you.

Amidst Xiang Honglin's suspicion and questioning and Cheng Shi's ambiguity, this ridiculous farce finally came to an end.

Everyone restrained their smiles and began to face the current trial environment again.

Obviously, 【Prosperity】 shouldn't gather in a place shrouded by 【Decay】. So to complete the trial and ignite the so-called "Prairie Fire," one must first find the spark capable of ignition—and it had to be a spark about to go out.

And in this vast forest where the Sighing Mourning Tide surged, how difficult it was to find an unknown target. Thus, after discussing for a while, to balance safety and efficiency, they decided to act separately, exploring in three directions in pairs.

If clues were found, they would notify each other with signal guns; if no clues were found and they didn't encounter the Sighing Mourning Tide, they would return after 2 hours to find another way; if they encountered a Sighing Mourning Tide outbreak during exploration, they would flee in the opposite direction of the tide to gather.

The plan was proposed by the Historian, and the signal gun was also provided by him. In the case of being unable to confirm Cheng Shi's identity, he himself preferred to team up with others. After all, there probably wasn't a 【Memory】 believer who would walk the same path as a player suspected of being Zhen Yi.

Everyone had this thought, so Cheng Shi, who was "isolated," naturally teamed up with Xiang Honglin, who "didn't seem to dislike him."

Xiang Honglin wasn't surprised by this result. She glanced at Cheng Shi and nodded, acknowledging this allocation.

After separating two people, the remaining two singers couldn't walk together, so everyone thought about letting the Trap Master who could talk choose first, and then the Puppet Master would suffer a loss and be passively combined with the remaining one.

But never expected that the Puppet Master, who had never expressed anything, actually made a choice first. She controlled her puppet to stand silently beside the Historian. The meaning was obvious: she didn't want to be on the same path as Bird Feather Brother.

Bird Feather Brother's expression obviously became a bit playful. He glanced with interest at this Puppet Master who didn't give him face, and then looked at the Trap Master who had no choice, offering him a new option:

"Singer is just a professional title, it doesn't represent anything. I can count as a path myself. I think in this forest watched by my Lord, I won't hold you back.

Hunter, if you like to walk alone, we can increase efficiency a bit more—four paths together."

But unexpectedly, this Trap Master didn't refuse this pairing. He nodded coldly and said:

"I'll be with 【Decay】."

At this, not only did others look at him with higher regard, but Bird Feather Brother even put an appreciative smile on his face.

"I like you, you're very sensible."

"But I don't like men. Let's go, don't waste time."

After saying this, the cold-blooded Hunter turned and left. Bird Feather Brother was slightly stunned, then smiled and followed.

Zuoqiu had no opinion on teaming up with the Puppet Master. He looked at the puppet and her owner and said earnestly:

"I am familiar with underground history and have some insights into wilderness survival. Considering your faith, why don't I lead the way and you take care of the vigilance?"

The royal sister puppet nodded gently without objection, then carried the little girl main body on her back and followed the Historian step by step.

Cheng Shi saw this scene and felt a little envious in his eyes.

"Tsk, someone carrying her, so cool."

Xiang Honglin sneered, also looking at the direction where the two disappeared and said:
