Chapter 421: Who knows if you are a believer of [Fraud]?

~8 min read 1,531 words

Who knows if you are a believer of 【Fraud】?

Brilliant!

Hearing these heart-piercing words, Cheng Shi almost jumped up to applaud Chen Shu.

This 【Silence】 god-chosen is truly formidable; the moment he opened his mouth, he pointed straight at the core interest of the Mediocre Society. While others questioned to get an explanation, he, from the very start, prepared to tear down the Mediocre Society's stage!

And he wasn't tearing down the framework President Gong hadn't even finished building, but the very foundation that allowed the Mediocre Society to pile higher and higher!

Interests!

This is the inescapable core essence of all organizations that seek to win people over.

Players who have survived until now are no fools. They might have low scores, but most definitely possess a set of survival logic that is both applicable to themselves and highly self-consistent, and the most important point in this logic is the weighing of interests.

If the Mediocre Society, like other organizations, needed to use the power of the masses to pile up a few beneficiaries, then believe me, even a mediocre person wouldn't be willing to do the kind of work that only the cattle and horses before the apocalypse were willing to do.

President Gong was clearly stiffened by this sharp question, but he quickly recovered, smiling as he looked at Chen Shu, who had a unique appearance under Hu Wei's feet, and said:

"The Mediocre Society hasn't been established yet, and with my mediocre vision, I cannot see that far ahead. However, I can guarantee that if there really comes a day when the Mediocre Society, borrowing this friend's auspicious words, develops to that height...

As president, I will definitely not steal everyone's hard work to elevate myself.

I will... be the first to give it up and continue being a mediocre person!

Because I only seek to live!

Just living is enough."

"Good! Well said!"

What President Gong said was indeed enough to beguile people's hearts, and he immediately received some response from the floor; at least some "mediocre people" in the venue were already starting to be moved.

But most people were not so easily fooled. Wanting everyone to join a three-no organization upon their first meeting—everyone had their own worries.

For example, in the middle of the venue, a burly man with his arms crossed looked disdainfully at the stage and roared:

"Guarantee?

Guarantees are worth shit these days. Haven't we been deceived enough by 【Fraud】 believers? Who knows if you're a 【Fraud】 believer yourself?

Are there any high-score scammers among the friends here?

I think there definitely are.

If they didn't participate in this kind of fun, I, Old Niu, would pull my head off and let you all kick it around like a ball.

Fellow scammer brothers, the time to turn around your reputation has come. Is there anyone who dares to step up and tell everyone whether this President Gong on stage, who won't declare his faith, is a scammer or not?"

As soon as the words fell, before Cheng Shi could even laugh, someone in the venue responded proactively.

"I'll do it!"

Everyone looked toward the sound, only to find a thin male player wearing glasses sitting in the middle area of the venue, smiling as he raised his hand.

Cheng Shi knew at a glance that this person was definitely a bona fide 【Fraud】 believer.

The smile on his face wasn't a helpful smile at all, but a gloating laugh that loved to see chaos.

Seeing this, the bespectacled 【Fraud】 believer let out a loud laugh and shouted at President Gong on stage:

"President Gong, is it? You've got something; at least until now, not a single lie has popped out of your mouth.

Everyone, don't look at me like that; it's the Deception Master telling me.

I admit, I have been over 2000 points, but I couldn't keep up with the pace of those big shots, so I fell back down.

S-rank talents don't disappear because of falling points, so relying on this, I've been able to survive until now below 2000 points.

According to President Gong's words, everyone is equal below 2000, so I am the most authentic mediocre person.

Alright, let's stop the small talk. President Gong, don't blame us 【Fraud】 believers for not giving you face. What you said was too good, and I'm very interested in the Mediocre Society, but I'm also afraid you're a peer.

How about this, say a lie for us to hear. If you can say it, I, Song Liang, will be the first to follow you. How about that?"

"Whoa—"

This 【Fraud】 believer's statement instantly triggered an uproar. Everyone looked at the stage and then at the floor, seemingly pondering the credibility of what the bespectacled 【Fraud】 believer said, and what President Gong's faith actually was.

Everyone cast sidelong glances; even the Grand Marshal and that elegant man sitting in the first row turned their heads to look. Cheng Shi was even more like he was watching a play, wishing he could pull out snot and finger bread to enjoy, eating while watching.

President Gong on stage stood up straight again after hearing these doubts. His temper seemed quite good; he wasn't angered by such harsh questioning, but instead said with a chuckle:

"That's simple, just a lie. I am not a believer of 【Fraud】, nor do I have the talent of a Deception Master, so naturally, I'm not afraid of telling lies.

But even if I say it, if this 【Fraud】 friend is determined that I didn't say it, then what counts?"

As soon as President Gong finished these words, Cheng Shi's eyebrows arched again.

Interesting, this person really didn't lie, at least the Deception Master told himself he didn't lie.

So, is it possible that he is a president impersonated by a 【Fraud】 believer?

But setting everything else aside, President Gong's worry wasn't unreasonable. 【Fraud】 believers never follow the rules; no one knows if they will lie, or at which node they will lie.

Just as the scene fell into a stalemate due to the mutual questioning of both sides, the voice that hadn't been identified by anyone at the beginning sounded again, and this time, his voice was right beside the bespectacled 【Fraud】 believer.

"What a coincidence, I also have a Deception Master.

You surnamed Gong can just say it directly. Although I don't think much of you, that Brother Niu just now had a point; I can't let the rat shit in the 【Fraud】 team ruin our 【Fraud】 reputation.

I have to let everyone know that there are good people among these scammers."

Once these words were out, many people at the scene laughed.

Hilarious, what reputation does 【Fraud】 have?

Calling others rat shit... aren't they all rat shit in the 【Fraud】 team?

They all use their mouths to scam people to death; who can be cleaner than whom?

Everyone clearly didn't believe this voice, but regardless of whether the onlookers believed it or not, someone had finally provided a verification method. If President Gong on stage refused again and again, it would make him look like he really had a problem.

So even if he knew this would be a farce, he had to make a slight response at this moment.

Helplessly, President Gong shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Alright, it seems if I don't say a lie today, I'm afraid I won't be able to win the trust of the mediocre people here.

Since that's the case, I will say a lie, and this lie is:

The underwear I'm wearing today is red."

"......"

"......"

"......"

The scene fell silent again, but soon, rustling low laughter broke out.

Everyone's gaze turned to the bespectacled 【Fraud】 believer, wanting to judge President Gong's identity by looking at his reaction.

Seeing this, the bespectacled player who admitted he was a scammer was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in astonishment:

"President Gong really has something; the Deception Master told me he told a lie. Looking at it this way, he really might not be one of us!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied. Smart people had their own judgment, but there were still quite a few people in the venue whose eyes held a bit more trust when looking at the stage.

Don't forget, this is the stage for "mediocre people."

Not only that, another voice that hadn't been revealed sounded again:

"Heh, so he really isn't one of us 【Fraud】 people. No fun, really no fun!"

Once these words were out, quite a few people in the venue felt better about President Gong; after all, the meaning of this voice was also acknowledging that President Gong had told a lie.

But hearing this, Cheng Shi's smile froze, but soon the corners of his mouth hooked to the maximum again.

Interesting, too interesting.

Is this a gathering of mediocre people?

This is clearly a feast for scammers!

Because Cheng Shi's Deception Master told him that these three people hadn't lied at all!

So!

This is clearly three scammers singing a play on the same stage!

And they are singing a grand play of deception called 【Fraud】!
