In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

Perhaps we can think of it as a Trojan virus? Once infected, this thing spreads incredibly fast—it might only need to find one or two people at first, but once it can take down those one or two, its influence will expand exponentially.

Does that sound a bit like a pyramid scheme? That's roughly the idea.

It's understandable that things have developed to this point.

"God says we should no longer passively accept our fate!"

As we pondered, the virus spoke again, "We should stand up, unite our strength, and fight back with one fist!"

"Resist what?"

Someone asked tentatively.

"Rebel against the corporations!"

Shen He shouted, "No matter how powerful you are in the game, it's all fake! If we want to end the suffering in reality, we should wake up!"

"As far as I know, some people have already started taking action! If we don't join them now, when will we ever get another chance!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After the deafening shouts, the square fell into a deathly silence.

But this was immediately followed by a chorus of agreement: "That's right!" "I've been annoyed with my boss for a long time!" "Let's beat him up!" "Nothing at all!"

Xu Shi saw it clearly: the brief silence of these people seemed like they were waking up from a dream, perhaps because the topic suddenly shifted from the game to reality.

However, given that he had already been deeply influenced by Shen He, this didn't seem to be a problem anymore—it was just like when he saw someone in his previous life kowtowing and calling game coins "father"—to put it nicely, it was something that had taken root in his mind; to put it bluntly, it was something that had gone mad…

Under these circumstances, they probably wouldn't think there's a problem with whatever Shen He says.

"Then, please everyone..."

Shen He nodded slightly, and was about to mobilize another wave of people when he suddenly heard applause.

"Well said."

The person clapping was naturally Xu Shi; although he was the only one, his voice drowned out everyone else's.

"...How good is it?"

This contrast struck Shen He as odd, but he still asked a question anyway.

"If it's good, then it's good."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "As for what you think is good, I can only say that its Moroccan fried flatbread is the best!"

"Does a loser who has failed to the point of being the worst in real life deserve to pretend to be a god and come here to spread heresy?"

"you……"

Shen He was taken aback upon hearing this, but he quickly realized, "It's you!"

Xu Shi's game character has been customized, so you definitely won't notice anything wrong with it.

But that smile was truly imprinted in Shen He's mind. Not long ago, he had shown that same expression while embracing Xia Wuyou and taking everything away from him!

The others were also taken aback by Xu Shi's abrupt interruption. Dude, who are you?

"Don't be fooled by him! He's a devil!"

Shen He was the first to react, raising the book in his hand and shouting, "He is the one who is truly spreading heresy and misleading the public!"

Clearly, he hadn't expected that Xu Shi would see through his plan—he hadn't told anyone about this except his sister! Not even Lin Yue!

He had been quite discreet in his previous infiltration efforts, but he only started this large-scale mobilization in the last few days. Why would this be noticed?

He couldn't figure it out for a moment, and there wasn't time for him to figure it out.

But he knew that what he had to do now was to stop Xu Shi here as much as possible!

Although his power in the game is fake, in the game, this power is real power!

As he spoke, the wings of light behind him unfolded, and the light in his hand transformed into a spear, thrusting towards Xu Shi.

VR experiences that involve uploading consciousness have a fatal flaw.

If the impact here is too severe, it will also have an effect in reality!

In severe cases, it could even lead to intellectual disability or dementia!

So, he naturally wanted to give it a try.

however.

Just when his spear was 0.01 centimeters away from Xu Shi.

Then Xu Shi smiled slightly, and wings also unfurled behind him.

It's nothing but the black wings of a demon.

"You like cosplay?"

Xu Shi clenched his left hand and replicated a "Jade Capital" sword. "Then I'll play with you."

With a gentle tap, the light surrounding Shen He shattered instantly, like a mirror.

"you……"

Looking at Xu Shi in front of him, Shen He stared at him in disbelief.

"Actually, you made a pretty good point, friends, it's time to wake up."

Xu Shi casually shrugged, "But you didn't add a suffix... Shall I add it for you?"

"Wake up, the foreman wants you to go move bricks!"

Chapter 166 Did you think I was just playing around with you?

The combat system in "God's Descent" is very free.

The VR version, in particular, uses brain-computer interfaces to bring the combat system to an almost realistic level.

This is why it's a restricted game—although it's a virtual battle, the effects of empathy are indeed unstable, causing mental health problems every year, and even physical problems, such as photosensitive epilepsy, to occur in countless people.

Upon closer inspection, there are clauses resembling a waiver of liability when registering an account... When the game was first released, some people speculated that the mysterious developer behind it might be "Prism," hoping to add some extra revenue for themselves through this method.

Even today, some marketing accounts are still saying this...

Having experienced the game mechanics for the first time, Xu Shi now deeply appreciates it. The combat feels amazing, I love it!

Moreover, it is said that art comes from life but is higher than life, and this is absolutely true. The lightsaber and staff duel feels like fighting with superpowers, but you should know that he himself does not actually have this ability. No wonder everyone loves this game so much. Who wouldn't like it if you can easily do things that are impossible in real life?

Especially now that he's controlling a tech-savvy account with cheat codes, he can have anything he wants.

On the other hand, Shen He was in a rather sorry state... He wanted to use this method to strike at Xu Shi, but in doing so, he himself would also be affected.

The impact of the shattered aura around him made him look quite uncomfortable, and the mask on his face also crumbled, completely losing the mysterious aura he had previously possessed.

"you!"

He pointed at Xu Shi in surprise, his eyes filled with resentment.

Shen He really didn't expect Xu Shi to be able to do this—not only did he notice his secretive actions, but he also made such thorough preparations for them.

Damn it, why should I?

"You're not as good as me, baby."

Xu Shi laughed wildly, "You think you can show off your little tricks in front of me?"

"What are you so proud of for cheating?"

Shen He gritted his teeth and said.

That's enough, don't you have any?

Xu Shi retorted, "Good heavens, how can you criticize me so effortlessly? Do you dare say you didn't use those intimidating tricks you pulled during your 'preaching'? Can a regular account do that?"

It's clear that he made a lot of preparations for this—at least he must have found technical talent in advance, just like me, and forcibly obtained some permissions. Otherwise, how could he have influenced so many players so smoothly?

That makes sense, since neither he nor Xu Shi entered the game just to play the game... so naturally they didn't have any reservations.

However, it now seems that the hacker team he hired was definitely not as good as Gu Yi's, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to break so easily.

Since everyone's using cheats, it just comes down to who has the most advanced one.

"Stop being so proud!"

Shen He's eyes were filled with resentment. He pulled his hands together, and light re-condensed in his hands. "Die!"

He also discovered that no matter how calm he was usually, it was really hard for him to calm down when facing Xu Shi.

Even though he realized it, he was still losing control—it was impossible to stay calm. It was always the same. No matter what he did, how well he prepared, or how meticulously he planned, he would be easily defeated by Xu Shi. Let alone staying calm, it was already quite an achievement that he didn't break down.

"Are you coming again?"

Xu Shi picked at his ear with his little finger. "My assessment is that even if you do it ten more times, you still won't be able to do it all, Shen He baby."

As he spoke, the "Jade Capital" in his hand seemed to come alive, spewing out jet-black lightning from its snake head, which clashed with the lightsaber, triggering a tsunami-like explosion.

Now that we're in a game, what "Yujing" can do is naturally different from what it can do in reality—the functions of the equipped firearms and the protective force field may not be reflected, and the combat style will certainly be different as well.

However, the enhancements to mental strength and superpowers are genuinely retained. To put it bluntly, in this kind of virtual battle, putting aside the issue of cheating, it's all about the contest of mental strength, which is a decisive factor to a certain extent.

Shen He's lightsaber, wings, and lightning are all manifestations of his spiritual power.

In fact, Xu Shi could sense that, in terms of mental strength, Shen He was much stronger than when they clashed at the headquarters building last time.

Come to think of it, his "United We Stand" ability can enhance his personal abilities by influencing others. Right now, he has influenced tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of players, so his personal abilities will naturally take a qualitative leap. It's fortunate that this is only in the virtual realm. If it were in the real world, he would probably transform into a Super Saiyan in the next second.

Anyway, it's definitely still within the normal range, otherwise why would he go through all this trouble? He could just give everyone a quick greeting and show them how to take down a building with three punches.

Therefore, he did not feel any burden at all. The blessing brought to him by the "Jade Capital" was even better than the result of Shen He's hard work and effort over a long period of time. The highlight was that he could manipulate it at will.

So, with a team like that assisting, as long as you're not completely incompetent, you shouldn't encounter any obstacles, right? Even if you were truly an incompetent person, you might still succeed...

He wasn't a pig, but rather an ultimate hunter who enjoyed toying with his prey.
