All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 160 Hui Shu, who can sit at the same table as Zhang Zhiwei without any roots or roots!

Under Athena's guidance, Chu Xiu quickly found Hui Shu, the player from the Southern District.

The moment she saw Chu Xiu, her expression was one of utter shock. She had never imagined that he could find her hiding place. Her expression turned even more astonished when she discovered that the person who had led the way was Athena.

It wasn't that I was shocked by Athena's betrayal.

She never trusted Athena. In the myriad realms, there are too many abilities like possession, mind control, and parasitism. It's perfectly normal for a subordinate to be turned by someone else.

What truly shocked her was that Athena knew where she was hiding.

"I definitely didn't tell you that!"

Where is Hye-sook hiding?
The world she reincarnated into was a dungeon called "The Mermaid," not the one from Stephen Chow's movie, but the Western version of The Mermaid.

She learned the skill of "underwater breathing" from it.

This time, I entered the dungeon with my skills, and then plunged into the deep sea, found a rocky cave and hid inside, remotely controlling Athena and others that I had placed there—the tricky location and the unexpected hiding method meant that normally no one should be able to find them.

Even out of caution, she didn't let Athena know where she was hiding!

But the result?

Athena, however, led Chu Xiu to find her easily!
“You think your hiding method is flawless, but where in this world is there truly flawless concealment? I don’t even need any special methods; I only need to sense with my ‘Alaya-vijnana’ to pinpoint your location!” Athena said, “The difficulty in finding you isn’t how to find you, but knowing that you are you!”

To put it bluntly, Hui Shu's method of hiding mainly involved creating a cognitive gap.

Most people wouldn't search for the ocean.

Furthermore, before you've seen her, even if you search the ocean, you can't pinpoint her location; it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, impossible to find.

But Hye-sook is ultimately a player who relies on trickery to obtain the mark.

Without attaining enlightenment, she cannot fully comprehend the things within the world, and she doesn't even understand the "Alaya consciousness."

Little did she know, Athena could actually lock onto her!

After all, Hui Shu's own strength is only at the third-tier perfected level and the newly promoted fourth-tier level, while Athena is a genuine fourth-tier perfected level, and is not weak even among the fifth-tier level.

Starting from the fourth-tier dungeon, combat power is no longer completely locked.

There will be some flexibility.

There might even be a situation where the strongest player in a Tier 5 dungeon is not as good as the strongest player in a Tier 4 dungeon—like this world of wind and clouds, if you dig deep, Half-God, Laughing Three Smiles, and Great Sun Tathagata are simply beyond the reach of Tier 4 players!
The same applies to the main god in the Saint Seiya world.

But I digress. Let's get back to the present.

After being found by Chu Xiu, Hui Shu behaved very obediently. She did not fight back, but instead softened her tone and said, "I've lost, and I accept the defeat wholeheartedly! But can you let me go this time? I can team up with you to deal with Trein and Archief. I don't aspire to be in the top three, I just ask that I get into the top five and not be judged as a failure!"

She understood that since Chu Xiu had come, he most likely wouldn't have come alone.

Ye Lingxian has already shown up, and Zhou Wushang must be there too.

She has no chance of making the top three.

However, it is not necessary to get into the top three to win. Although fourth and fifth place cannot be upgraded, they are not counted as failures. It is equivalent to entering the dungeon once more, without any loss.

Some people, if they can't get first place, will even deliberately get fifth place.

At the cost of essentially wasting time in one dungeon run, you can enter the dungeon multiple times to seek more benefits—in the fourth-tier dungeon, the fifth-place finisher only gets 3000 points, but you need 10,000 points to level up.

In other words, you can stay at the fifth level and run the next four dungeons without any cost.

In the fourth dungeon, strive for the highest possible ranking!
"Letting you go is not impossible, but I don't need you to join forces with me to deal with anyone. I need more direct benefits!" Chu Xiu said.

Upon hearing this, Hui Shu was clearly delighted.

He immediately said, "I'll give you anything you want! Didn't Athena pledge allegiance to you? I'll pack up all the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Saints under her command and give them to you!"

Chu Xiu shook his head at this.

"You're not being sincere by taking my things and giving them to me!" This made Hui Shu grit her teeth in anger.

"Ha, man!"

But with an extremely strong will to survive, she immediately increased the stakes.

Looking around, he said, "Zhou Wushang didn't come along, did he? If you really want to be sincere, he's never been touched by a man in his life, you can be the first one..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xiu interrupted him.

"You bitch, you've ruined me?"

Having said that, he raised his hand to deliver a "Love That Shakes the City" blow to her.

Unexpectedly, Hui Shu knelt down, but not towards Chu Xiu, but towards everyone around her, saying as she knelt, "Sister-in-law, I was just joking, please don't misunderstand!"

Chu Xiu: "..."

This woman would probably fit in very well with Wugensheng, Zhang Zhiwei, and Feng Zhenghao if they played mahjong together!

That was a truly decisive kneeling move!

"Leave her to me, don't interfere!" Zhou Wushang appeared, his tone unfriendly, and said, "Go and arrange for the Saint Seiya!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu hurriedly fled.

He went to make arrangements for Athena, Seiya, and the others—they were people planted by Hui Shu, and if Chu Xiu wanted to "transfer" them, he would need to sacrifice his luck.

The first person Chu Xiu thought of was the Sweeping Monk.

However, when he arrived at the Sutra Repository, he found that the Sweeping Monk was covered in filth and had lifeless eyes, looking no different from Ji Gong.

Upon seeing Chu Xiu, he didn't even want to move.

"No more, really not a drop left!"

Chu Xiu: "..."

What you said is very ambiguous; please don't say it again.

However, he knew he had gone too far in taking advantage of the monk, so he stopped making things difficult for him and instead made a quick trip to Leigu Mountain, to the cave where Wuyazi lived.

At this moment, Wu Yazi was breathing deeply.

"Hey, you've been cultivating quite well lately, you've even started to condense your second golden core?" Chu Xiu said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yazi smiled and said, "Thanks to your 'Multiple Martial Golden Core' method, otherwise I wouldn't know how to cultivate after condensing the Martial Golden Core!"

Chu Xiu nodded in agreement.

He said, "But there are some things you're not doing right. You should do it this way, then this way, and then that way. Only by cultivating in this way can you build a solid foundation!"

This guidance made Wu Yazi suddenly realize the truth.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

At this moment, Chu Xiu said again, "A golden core cultivated using the wrong method will not be good for you in the future. I will destroy it for you. Cultivate well and become an immortal as soon as possible!"

After Chu Xiu finished speaking, he removed Wu Yazi's golden core and turned to leave.

At first, Wu Yazi was very grateful and thought Chu Xiu was a good person.

But soon, he discovered something was wrong.

"My method for cultivating the second Golden Core is flawed. What does that have to do with the first Golden Core? Fellow Daoist, you've taken the wrong one. Don't rush to destroy it; give it back to me!"

Wu Yazi hurriedly chased after him.

But once outside, where could you find Chu Xiu?
