Chapter 39

~9 min read 1,608 words

This is a high-end match!

Bed, table and chairs, floor-to-ceiling windows, balcony.

Warm wind crossed the window frame and leaped into the room, curiously examining every corner, gently stroking the curtains, flicking the hair, warm and intoxicating.

Cheng Shi was tickled by the strands of hair; he opened his eyes abruptly and found himself lying on a soft bed.

This is......

A hotel guest room?

He got up in surprise and looked around; the room was not small, but there was no one inside.

Just him alone!

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned slightly.

This is the first time in history that he didn't see anyone when he opened his eyes in a trial.

Still the same saying: any change means new risks.

Cheng Shi didn't dare to be careless; he quickly got out of bed and carefully and cautiously checked everything in the room.

Only when he discovered that there were no magic arrays or traps in the entire room did he breathe a sigh of relief.

During the check just now, he seemed to hear some movement next door.

Could it be that this time, everyone has their own room?

Thinking this, Cheng Shi climbed back onto the bed on tiptoe and touched the wall on the side of the bed.

But just as he pressed his ear against it, preparing to listen to the situation next door, he heard a faint, almost imperceptible sound of breathing.

!!!

At this very moment, just on the other side of the wall, there was also a person eavesdropping on the movement in his room!

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank!

Although he was shocked in his heart, he was not afraid at all.

Because he knew that if it were him eavesdropping, he would definitely hold his breath and not let out a single sound.

Since the other side let out a little movement, it meant this was not an eavesdropping, but a probe.

The person next door is also likely a player!

And a player with many twists and turns in their heart.

To deal with such a person, a straight ball is best!

Cheng Shi simulated a void confrontation with the other side in his heart, and then whispered against the wall:

"Imperial Jade Liquid Wine?"

The breathing next door indeed paused.

But then, the other side did not give the response Cheng Shi expected, but with a "Bang", a sharp dagger pierced through the wooden wall and was sent before Cheng Shi's eyes.

That cold, gleaming blade was only 0.1cm away from Cheng Shi's Adam's apple.

The force was controlled precisely, the distance was grasped perfectly, and the explosive power was astonishing!

Cheng Shi didn't even dare to swallow his saliva, for fear that if his Adam's apple moved, a layer of sweat hair would be scraped off.

However, he didn't dodge either, because he felt the other side had no intention to kill.

The person next door indeed had no intention to kill.

This was just a way of saying hello.

He saw the dagger turn lightly, patting Cheng Shi's neck with the blade, and then slowly withdrew.

The next second, in the small hole made by the dagger, a weak, boneless, fair little hand squeezed over, spreading five fingers toward Cheng Shi.

Fingers like scallion whites, tips like bamboo shoots, nails painted red like cinnabar lips.

The manicure is not bad!

Cheng Shi smiled and grasped the cold little hand in one go.

"Nice to meet you."

While greeting with his mouth, his eyes never moved away from the small hole chiseled by the dagger.

Calling it a small hole is actually an exaggeration, because it was just a slit.

The dagger was long and thin; the slit it pierced through had a vertical length of less than 2cm, not to mention the width, which was almost non-existent.

But in this almost invisible slit, a normal adult's arm squeezed over as if it had been two-dimensionalized, and then expanded, unfolding into a fair and tender little hand.

An expert!

This was Cheng Shi's first impression of the person next door.

After these two actions, the person next door finally responded.

"Nice to meet you."

Sure enough, it was a female.

But the voice was too far from what Cheng Shi had expected.

It was not the crisp voice of the girl next door he had imagined, but low and hoarse, a standard bass cannon smoke voice.

This......

Sister, your audio and video are a bit out of sync.

Cheng Shi was not some lecher; he released her hand in time and then asked with a smile:

"You seem to be able to accurately sense my position?"

The other side was silent for a long time, then gave a light "Hmm".

"Alright, everyone has secrets, don't they? What now?"

As soon as the words fell, a knock on the door sounded outside his room.

Not just on his side, but a knock on the door also sounded next door.

Two doors knocked at the same time?

Cheng Shi frowned slightly without making a sound, while the girl next door spoke directly:

"Get lost!"

The knocking stopped for a moment, and then a hum of laughter came.

"Come out, it's just you two left."

?

Players?

It didn't seem to be a lie.

But to leave a backup plan, Cheng Shi knocked on the wooden wall and whispered to the next door:

"I'll open the door first, you don't move."

The other side responded first just now, this time Cheng Shi acted first.

This is the most basic cooperation and quality in a trial.

In terms of seeking cooperation, Cheng Shi never acts like a villain.

However, the dagger sister next door didn't listen to his greeting at all, ran off the bed directly with a "thump, thump, thump", and went to open the door.

Cheng Shi shook his head helplessly and also got out of bed to open the door.

Pushing open the door, three men with outstanding temperaments stood in the hotel corridor.

It's hard to describe specifically what the temperament on them felt like, but at a glance, they looked like strong men who had walked out of the tempering of war.

Unlike the steadfastness of ordinary soldiers, in their eyes, there was an extra bit of confidence to look down on others.

Cheng Shi only glanced at the few people, and he knew that his role as a freeloader this time was absolutely stable!

All experts!

Two of them had obviously changed into the clothes prepared by the hotel; Cheng Shi also found the clothes on the table when exploring the room, but out of caution, he didn't change.

Now it seems that these two players are quite into the role.

The man closest to Cheng Shi saw Cheng Shi open the door, wrinkled his nose and sniffed, somewhat disdainfully saying:

"Pointless caution."

?

Was this being looked down upon?

Cheng Shi shook his head and smiled, not refuting.

The girl next door also walked out of the door; Cheng Shi glanced at her and didn't remember anything, only seeing that enchanting and arrogant flower-arm tattoo on her arm.

Tight short vest, tactical cargo leather pants, dagger inserted at the waist.

Looks like an assassin, no doubt.

The man standing in the middle of the corridor saw that both of them had come out, looked back at the downstairs over the railing, and then said with a smile:

"Fresh challenge, but, still rigid faith, isn't it?

Let me introduce myself: Fang Jue, Law-bringer, 2437."

!

Law-bringer, 【Order】's Singer!

Cheng Shi had just witnessed the death of a Law-bringer NPC in the previous trial; he didn't expect to run into a real Law-bringer in this one.

More importantly, this brother, 2437 points!

What a big shot!

In this game, the gameplay of high-end matches is completely different from low-end matches.

It is said that big shots above 2400 points introduce themselves as soon as they meet, without considering the problem of faith opposition at all, completely different from the gameplay of the "weaklings" with 1000+ points.

This is probably the legendary: all fear is a lack of confidence in one's own strength.

At this point range, perhaps no one will think they can be easily killed by an enemy.

They all have enough confidence.

This confidence may come from experience, or from caution, but more, it comes from the blessings of their respective masters.

They already have enough and strong talents to support their thoughts.

And most importantly, 2400-point players have one more blank talent slot than 2000-point players.

At the beginning of the 【Faith Game】 descent, everyone will receive an initial faith talent and an initial career talent.

After the score on the Road to God reaches 1200, 1600, 2000, and 2400, each gets an additional blank talent slot.

This talent slot can be replaced with a career talent or a faith talent.

And talents are undoubtedly the players' greatest reliance in this crazy game.

This Law-bringer was one of the two players who changed clothes; he put on a civilian outfit in the style of the Continent of Hope, yet the "noble" temperament on him could not be covered up at all.

Compared to a Law-bringer, he looked more like a bard at this time.

Fang Jue, 【Order】, Singer, 2437

Except for Cheng Shi, the others didn't seem surprised by this Law-bringer's score; the man next to the Law-bringer who knocked on the door next door pushed up his glasses and also smiled:

"I like all forms of support, especially Law-bringers. Du Xiguang, Memory Traveler, 2502."

Wait!

How much?
