I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 7 How am I different from that traitor Cao Cao?

The pretty girl's words were highly ambiguous, as if saying a few more words would kill her.

As Cao Yu listened, he felt as if he had been dumped by the other party.

Of course, he wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. After taking the phone from the other person, he started operating it...

……

Twenty minutes later, all seven had broken up, regained their noble single status, and gained "safe house protection."

I also received two side quest notifications:

Side Quest 1: Uncover the Truth Behind the "Touching the Regret"

Side Quest 2: Save the World

[Warning: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.]

These two side quests are optional.

If they give up, they will remain safe indefinitely.

The instance opens at 11:00 AM, and their main quest is to survive for 12 hours.

In other words, they can simply find a place to stay and wait until 11 p.m. to successfully complete the dungeon and return to the real world.

It just means the final "dungeon rating" will be lower and the rewards will be less.

"We're practically halfway through the game, right?" The frail woman seemed unrealistic, her tone somewhat frivolous: "That...easy?"

"After all, it's a beginner's dungeon, and we're all newbie players," said the model guy. "Isn't it better to keep it simple?"

"Easy?" Zhou Fan couldn't stand it anymore: "Why don't you two try it yourselves?"

These two guys are getting cocky already?

Cao Yuju is largely responsible for their ability to obtain "safe house shelter" so quickly.

Otherwise, the first wave of illusionary dangers alone would have taken a toll on them.

Even if they get rid of the hallucination, they will probably only be able to escape the funeral home in disgrace, just like that hooded man.

At that time, without the information provided by the "people who are not affected by hallucinations", and with Du Ruo who has drunk her fill of blood, who may be chasing after them, they will have to keep an eye on the intelligence while running away... Just thinking about it gives Zhou Fan a headache.

Fortunately, there was a big shot leading the team.

"Uh... I just felt it wasn't very realistic, just a bit of a remark, not that the dungeon was easy," the frail woman explained.

"Our setup is top-notch. Out of eight people, two have superpowers and three have gadgets, so it seems a bit simple," Cao Yu laughed. "If you were to judge a normal newbie player by their standards, this wouldn't be how we play."

Seeing that Cao Yu was easy to talk to and had no airs, the frail woman asked curiously, "What is your superpower?"

“There’s nothing to hide,” Cao Yu replied truthfully, “Serial number 123, the two-part world.”

"A world divided into two parts? No wonder you tore Du Ruo's body apart so easily." Zhou Zheng joined the conversation, looking quite surprised.

The pretty girl glanced at Cao Yu.

For some reason, she is quite knowledgeable about the "dichotomous world".

The "Dust-Free Golden Ring" she was wearing on her finger was actually a D-grade item.

Although she couldn't unleash the full power of the item due to her weak mental strength, the corpses she couldn't destroy with the item were easily torn to shreds by Cao Yu. This was far beyond the power that a novice player in the "Dual World" should possess.

It's possible, but not so easy.

This guy is lying.

But she didn't expose it.

"I really envy you for being able to gamble away superpowers. I also spent those 100 evolution points on my mental abilities, and I didn't even make a ripple." The frail woman sighed, then asked, "By the way, do you two know each other in real life?"

She looked at Cao Yu, Chen Ran, Zhou Fan, and Zhou Zhenglian respectively.

During the previous battle, the former would shout and the latter three would immediately obey and block the door. It is very unreasonable for such tacit understanding to appear among strangers.

“I don’t know him, but we can get to know each other.” Zhou Zheng smiled and said, “My name is Zhou Zheng. I’m a reserve member of the Federal Special Affairs Bureau, directly recruited from the military. We’ve been through thick and thin together. If you don’t mind, could you introduce yourself? If you do mind, you can use your game nickname.”

Cao Yu glanced at the nickname he had changed before entering the dungeon—【How am I any different from that Cao traitor】... This name is not to be used.

"Are you from the Special Affairs Bureau?" Chen Ran asked in surprise.

The Special Affairs Bureau is a large, official player organization established by the Federation, managing all matters, large and small, related to the Evolution Game within the Federation. The Four Academies were established with funding from the Special Affairs Bureau's branch in Four Mountains City.

Students from the four colleges become players. After surviving the first instance, they will be assigned to the Special Affairs Bureau. This is stated directly in the contract.

Only a select few privileged graduates have the freedom to choose.

In other words, Zhou Zheng will become their colleague.

“He’s a probationary member,” Zhou Zheng said, “but after we go back this time, he should be a full member.”

“That’s quite a coincidence,” Cao Yu said with a smile. “I’m a graduate of the Fourth Academy. Once we return to reality, we’ll be colleagues. By the way, my name is Cao Bao.”

Cao Bao... a complete idiot? Using a pseudonym without even putting on an act?

Many people hesitated to speak.

The pretty girl introduced herself: "Annie."

“Ran Chengcheng,” Chen Ran said, “a graduate of the Fourth Academy.”

“Fanzhou,” Zhou Fan said, “is also from the Fourth Academy.”

According to the matchmaking rules for new players' first dungeon run—similar ID numbers and the same region—the eight players in this dungeon, if they are not tourists visiting Sishan City, must all be locals.

Locals are generally aware of the existence of the Fourth Hospital.

"No wonder you guys are so in sync," Zhou Zheng said with a smile. "I had a feeling before that you must have received some training. It seems that the students from the Fourth Academy are all of high caliber."

“I’ve heard of the Fourth Academy,” the frail woman said. “They provide props and medicine. Are the students of the Fourth Academy really that well-off?”

"We're only providing medicine, and not much at that," Zhou Fan said. "As for the props, those are rare items. If our own families don't provide support, we can only demonstrate enough value to gain the resources of the Fourth Academy."

At this point, he looked at Cao Yu:

"For example, number 123, the world in two parts."

“So,” the model guy looked at Chen Ran and the pretty girl, “Miss Ran and Miss Annie are both from wealthy families? Are they props supported by their families? By the way, my name is Song Yiming.”

The pretty girl ignored him.

Chen Ran said nonchalantly, "What rich heiress? I borrowed this prop from my brother, and I have to return it when we get back."

"Being able to borrow the items is already very good." The frail woman said enviously, "I was suddenly chosen by the evolution game to become a player, so I can say I have nothing. I really envy you guys... By the way, my name is Zhuang Na.

Cao Yu smiled and said in a comforting tone:

"There's a theory that players actively chosen by the evolution game generally have higher talents than 'invitation players.' This difference might not be noticeable in the early stages, but it will gradually become apparent once you embark on the evolution path."

"Thank you for your comfort. However..." the frail woman shook her head, "I feel that this is a bit self-deceptive. Perhaps students from your four colleges would have been selected anyway? It's just that the invitation letter brought the process forward."

"The resource support from the Fourth Academy has indeed moved our starting line forward a bit, but the finish line is far away. As long as we are willing to work hard, it is still easy to overtake others on the curve."

Cao Yu twirled the toy gun in his hand, taking the opportunity to say something inspiring:

"Now, the opportunity is right in front of us. As long as we complete the side quests, the final dungeon rating will not be low."

At that time, dungeon rewards such as potions will only be considered the most basic and not worth mentioning.

Abundant evolution points and powerful items are the keys to overtaking on a curve.

After a player clears a dungeon, the game will give them a dungeon rating based on their performance, ranging from "E-" to "A+". There might also be an "S", but it has never appeared in the Federation's records.

The minimum requirement to obtain the item is a dungeon rating of "B-".

Therefore, there are actually not many players who possess the items.

"Side quests come with warnings!" Model Guy said hesitantly, "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you... If we get involved, we'll definitely encounter new dangers, right? And they might not be simple dangers. Maybe we should just forget about it?"

The beautiful woman asked Cao Yu, "When do we depart?"

"Uh... Miss Annie, are you sure you want to go?" The model guy was a bit embarrassed and subconsciously advised, "We've only just started our first dungeon, there's really no need to push ourselves so hard..."

The pretty woman's eyes were cold: "Mind your own business."

"Count me in too," Zhou Zheng said.

“I won’t go,” the frail woman sighed. “I have nothing right now, and I haven’t received any training. My abilities are limited. If I go with you in this condition and we encounter danger, I’ll probably become a burden to you.”
