Chapter 341: Invitation to the Mediocre Society

Invitation to the Mediocre Society

In the next few days, Cheng Shi's life suddenly became busy.

As for the reason for being busy, it was naturally for food.

After two months of only going out and not coming in, his food storage in the warehouse had fallen below the warning line, so he must hoard a wave of food before the next special trial to prepare for a rainy day.

So he began to frantically place orders for human copies, preparing to fill the two warehouses this week, so that he would not waste energy on food problems before the Audience Meeting at the end of the year.

And the time saved can be used to study how to effectively climb points and become a God-Chosen.

Cheng Shi's current Ladder of Audience score is 172, ranking 47th in 【Deception】, 42 points away from the current 【Deception】 God-Chosen Li Jingming; ranking 39th in 【Fate】, 34 points away from the 【Fate】 God-Chosen Blind Person.

He is a sober person and a cautious person. He knows deeply that wanting to climb points does not mean that he has to match different trials all the time. That risk is too great and too tiring, so he studied how to "effectively" climb points.

Based on his past performance and the degree of point addition, he can basically guarantee an entry of 2-3 points per game. In this way, in the 4 months before the end of the year, he only needs to climb 12 points steadily every month to ensure that he is close enough to that position before the Audience Meeting.

Of course, everyone's scores are changing. Even if the highest scores of the God-Chosen have been stuck at around 210 for a while, no one can say what changes will appear in the next few months, so the point climbing plan is not so rough.

He plans to evaluate the progress of the score gap in the middle and end of each month, and carry out some extra prayer trials according to the actual gap to make up for the score gap required for stable point climbing.

In this way, he can move forward steadily, getting closer to that position little by little, without encountering high-score players frantically in the early stage of point climbing.

The saying of God-Chosen is only based on the ranking of the Ladder of Audience. As for the ranking of the Road to Godhood, Cheng Shi doesn't care at all.

After all, his Road to Godhood score is flexible and changeable, and the specific score depends on his mood.

In addition, in the past few days, judging from the information in various chat channels, except for a few who are still stuck below, other God-Chosen have probably returned to their own segments, and even "True Heart True Intention" has returned to the top 10.

The game finally became normal.

Although many people died again, the chat in the channel was still hot, and even the street area that was often silent would occasionally have some laughter.

This situation even made Cheng Shi recall the time when everyone was just assigned to different areas.

But... it was because everything was too normal that Cheng Shi felt a little abnormal.

He has always believed in that sentence: madness is often bred under calmness.

Especially when the current calmness is still a false, superficial calmness.

Because one of 【Them】 has fallen.

【Prosperity】 has fallen. A 【Him】 who signed the 【Covenant】 and descended the 【Faith Game】 has fallen silently. Besides Xiang Honglin and himself, no other players discovered this matter.

Although he had made some efforts to spread the news of 【Prosperity】's death, he still hadn't received any relevant feedback in the chat channel, which showed that his little thoughts had failed.

Of course, the fact that outsiders don't know about this is also related to Xiang Honglin inheriting part of His 【Covenant】 power and acting on His "work," but this still makes Cheng Shi feel terrified.

The essence of 【Faith Game】 is to let players constantly approach the Him at the end of the road on different paths of faith. But when the guide at the end of the road disappears, leaving only an empty divine seat, what is the meaning of this approach?

After all, His death is the greatest negation of the followers who are burying their heads and moving forward on this road.

In addition, since the presence or absence of 【Him】 on the divine seat at the end of the road does not affect the approach of faith, then who can guarantee that the one standing at the end of other faith paths is necessarily the Him of the original faith?

Even more terrifying, do 【Him】, or 【Them】, really exist?

Cheng Shi has thought about this question more than once. Since witnessing 【Prosperity】's fall, he began to think about the meaning of 【Faith Game】. If faith has become so fanatical that it needs gods to self-destruct to practice His will, then what exactly are these players who constantly participate in the trials of the gods in Their eyes?

This incident rendered all the "theories of divine conspiracy" that had been circulating among the players meaningless, because 【Prosperity】 had no intention at all of doing anything to the players "selected" by Him; instead, for the sake of so-called universal prosperity, He blew Himself up.

Cheng Shi thought about it over and over but could not come up with a logic that even convinced himself, so he could only put this thought aside for now, moving forward while watching and thinking.

He told himself that perhaps it was because there was still too little information about Them, and he needed to collect more before he would have new ideas.

And just recently, he had an opportunity to exchange information with other players.

The Mediocre Society!

This golden card retrieved from the Ranger had changed a little recently. When Cheng Shi's gaze inadvertently swept over it, he discovered that a countdown and a line of invitation had actually appeared on the back of the gold card.

This countdown began in units of days; initially, it was 3 days, and today, the 3 had become 1.

The line of delicately written invitation was even more straightforward: Welcome to the stage of the mediocre.

This was undoubtedly a mysterious gathering organized by a player who called himself a mediocre person. In the past, Cheng Shi would absolutely not be interested in such gatherings that involved contact with other players outside of trials, because he did not like the extra risk.

But now, this kind of fresh thing also made his heart flutter. After all, he wanted to progress too much; he was eager to expand his information and connections, and wanted to understand more about the essence of the 【Faith Game】.

Cheng Shi could vaguely feel that this should be a form of summoning, and this card was more like a key to another space. That is to say, if he held this card until the moment the countdown ended, it was very likely that he would appear on the stage of this so-called Mediocre Society.

As for what was on that stage, he was not sure, but the only thing he could be sure of was that there would definitely be a clown there—oh no, a Fate Weaver.

In a call a few days ago, he had asked Xiang Honglin about this organization, but she didn't know much about it either. She even teased him, saying that a Fated One was indeed not a mediocre person and there was no need to attend these gatherings of people who claimed to be mediocre; instead, he should pull all the Fated Ones together to hold a sharing and exchange meeting.

Cheng Shi thought to himself that the call with Xiang Honglin was already a sharing and exchange meeting for Fated Ones; after all, this great organization blessed by 【Fate】 only had two people in total.

No, to be precise, it was one person plus one Messenger.

This was perhaps the most prestigious organization established by players since the descent of the 【Faith Game】. Regardless of the actual combat power, at least there was a Him in it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. Holding this card, which was about to finish its countdown, he thought to himself:

I hope tomorrow's performance won't disappoint me.
