Bed, table and chairs, floor-to-ceiling windows, balcony.
A warm breeze crossed the window frame and leaped into the room, curiously surveying every corner, gently caressing the curtains, playing with hair, making people feel warm and intoxicated.
Cheng Shi felt a bit ticklish from the hair, He suddenly opened His eyes and found Himself lying on a soft bed.
This is...
A hotel room?
He got up in surprise and looked around, the room was not small, but there was no one inside.
Only He was here!
Cheng Shi's heart sank, and He slightly furrowed His brows.
This was the first time in a Trial that He opened His eyes and didn't see anyone.
It was still that saying, any change meant new risks.
Cheng Shi didn't dare to be careless, He quickly got out of bed and cautiously and carefully checked everything in the room.
Only when He found that there were no magic arrays or traps in the entire room did He slightly breathe a sigh of relief.
During the checking process just now, He seemed to hear some movement next door.
Could it be that this time, everyone gets a room?
Thinking this, Cheng Shi quietly climbed back onto the bed and reached for the wall by the bed.
But just as He put His The ear against it, preparing to listen to what was happening next door, He heard a faint, almost imperceptible breathing sound.
!!!
At this very moment, just on the other side of the wall, there was also a person, secretly listening to the movements in His room!
Cheng Shi's pupils contracted sharply!
But although He was surprised, He wasn't afraid at all.
Because He knew that if it were Him eavesdropping, He would definitely hold His breath and concentrate, not letting out a single sound.
Since the other side let out a little movement, it meant this wasn't eavesdropping, but a probe.
The person next door was most likely also a Player!
And a Player with many twists and turns in their mind.
Against this kind of person, a direct approach works best!
Cheng Shi simulated a confrontation with the Void on the other side internally, and then whispered against the wall:
"Imperial Jade Liquid Wine?"
The breathing next door indeed paused.
But then, the other party did not give the response Cheng Shi expected, but with a "bang", a sharp dagger pierced the wooden wall and was sent right before Cheng Shi's eyes.
The glittering cold blade was only 0.1 cm away from Cheng Shi's Adam's apple.
Precise force control, perfect distance judgment, amazing explosive power!
Cheng Shi didn't even dare to swallow His saliva, afraid that if His Adam's apple moved, a layer of fine hair would be scraped off.
But He didn't dodge either, because He felt that the other side had no killing intent.
The person next door indeed had no killing intent.
This was just a way of greeting.
The dagger was seen turning slightly, patting Cheng Shi's neck with the blade, and then slowly withdrew.
The next second, from the small hole opened by the dagger, a soft, boneless, fair little hand squeezed through, opening its five fingers towards Cheng Shi.
Fingers like green onion tips like bamboo shoots, nails covered in red like crimson lips.
The manicure was well done!
Cheng Shi smiled and grasped the cold little hand.
"Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you."
His Mouth was saying hello, but His gaze never moved away from the small hole the dagger had chiseled out.
Saying it was a small hole was actually an exaggeration, because it was just a slit.
The dagger was long and thin, the slit it made was less than 2cm in length, and the width was almost non-existent.
Yet, through this almost invisible slit, a normal adult's arm squeezed through as if it had been flattened into two dimensions, then expanded, unfolding into a fair and tender little hand.
Expert!
This was Cheng Shi's first impression of the person next door.
After these two interactions, the person next door finally responded.
"Pleased to meet you."
It was indeed a female.
But the voice was too different from what Cheng Shi had expected.
It wasn't the clear voice of a girl next door that He had imagined, but a low and hoarse voice, a standard deep-voiced smoker's voice.
This...
Sis, your audio and video are a bit out of sync.
Cheng Shi wasn't some lsp (pervert), He released His hand in time, and then asked with a smile:
"You seem to be able to accurately sense my location?"
The other party was Silent for a while, then gave a light "Mhm".
"Alright then, everyone has secrets, don't they? What now?"
As soon as He finished speaking, there was a knock on His door.
Not just on His side, there was also a knock on the door next door.
Two doors knocking at the same time?
Cheng Shi slightly frowned and didn't speak, while the girl next door directly spoke up:
"Get lost!"
The knocking stopped for a moment, then a snicker came.
"Come out, you two are the only ones left."
?
Players?
It didn't seem to be a lie.
But to keep a fallback, Cheng Shi tapped the wooden wall and whispered to the person next door:
"I'll open the door first, you stay put."
The other party responded first just now, this time Cheng Shi would act first.
This was the most basic coordination and quality in a Trial.
When seeking cooperation, Cheng Shi never acted like a petty person.
However, the dagger sister next door didn't listen to His greeting at all, and directly "thump thump thump" ran off the bed 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 presence stood in the hotel corridor.
It was hard to specifically describe the aura about them, but at a glance, they looked like powerhouses who had emerged from the tempering of war.
Unlike the fortitude of ordinary soldiers, there was also a hint of confidence that looked down on others in their eyes.
Cheng Shi only glanced at the few people and knew that being a freeloader in this match was absolutely stable!
All Experts!
Two of them had clearly changed into the clothes provided by the hotel. Cheng Shi had also found clothes on the table when checking the room, but out of caution, He hadn't changed.
Now it seemed, these two Players were quite into the role-playing.
The man closest to Cheng Shi saw Cheng Shi open the door, wrinkled His nose and sniffed, saying with a slight hint of disdain:
"Unnecessary caution."
?
Was He being disliked?
Cheng Shi shook His head and smiled, not refuting.
The girl next door also came out of the door. Cheng Shi took one look and didn't remember anything else, only seeing the flamboyant and wild full-sleeve tattoo on her arm.
Tight short tank top, tactical work leather pants, dagger tucked at the waist.
She looked like an Assassin without a doubt.
The man standing in the middle of the corridor saw that both of them were out, cast His gaze over the railing to look downstairs, and then said with a smile:
"A fresh challenge, but still rigid Faith, isn't it?
Let me introduce myself, Fang Jue, Ruler, 2437."
!
Ruler, Singer of Order!
Cheng Shi had just witnessed the Death of an Ruler NPC in the previous Trial, and didn't expect to encounter a real Ruler in this match.
More importantly, this guy, 2437 points!
What a Da Lao!
In this game, the gameplay at high levels is completely different from low levels.
It is said that Da Laos above 2400 points announce their affiliations upon meeting, completely disregarding the issue of Faith opposition, which is completely different from the way "weaklings" with over 1000 points play the game.
This is probably what is said in legends, all fear comes from a lack of confidence in one's own strength.
At this point level, perhaps no one would think they could be easily killed by enemies.
They all had enough confidence.
This confidence might come from experience, or from caution, but more often, it comes from the blessings of their respective Lords.
They already had enough and strong Talents to support their thoughts and ideas.
And most importantly, Players with 2400 points have one more empty Talent slot than Players with 2000 points.
In the early stages of Faith Game's arrival, everyone would receive an initial Faith Talent and an initial Class Talent.
After reaching 1200, 1600, 2000, and 2400 points on the path to godhood, they would each gain an additional empty Talent slot.
This Talent slot could be replaced with a Class Talent or a Faith Talent.
And Talent is undoubtedly the Players' greatest reliance in this crazy game.
This Ruler was one of the two Players who had changed clothes. He wore a set of commoner clothes in the style of Hope Continent, yet the "noble" aura about Him was simply impossible to hide.
Compared to being a Ruler, He looked more like a Troubadour at this moment.
Fang Jue, Order, Singer, 2437
Except for Cheng Shi, the others didn't seem surprised by this Ruler's score. The male next to the Ruler, who had knocked on the door next door, pushed up His glasses and also said with a smile:
"I like all forms of support, especially Rulers. Du Xiguang, Memory Traveler, 2502."
Wait!
How much?
