No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

Mu Zhixi had no idea that her casual remark had inadvertently opened the box for the other party.

"???" Ji Xinghui's smile didn't disappear, at least not immediately.

As a strategist whose instincts lie in deception and disguise, he has long been accustomed to maintaining the most advantageous expression for himself in any unexpected situation.

The more shocked you are, the less you should let the other party see your shock; the more wary you are, the more composed you should appear.

At this moment, Ji Xinghui's thoughts inevitably experienced a brief pause.

Roulette, chips, the pointer of fate—the divine beauty before him used only three words to accurately pinpoint the core components of his hidden profession.

It's important to understand that the Deception Roulette doesn't rely on physical actions or generate any outward energy fluctuations. When activating the skill, it doesn't even need to look at the target; it only needs to ask the roulette a question deep within its consciousness.

Among the top thousand players on the Myriad Races Ranking, there are many top players with abilities such as True Sight, Divination, and Spiritual Perception. However, until today, before he actively revealed it, no one could accurately describe the form of this skill.

Ji Xinghui's greatest pride has never been just deception, but information asymmetry. No one knows the core of his skills, so naturally no one can counter his skills.

But now, on their very first meeting, his trump card has been casually "opened" by the other party.

What's even more frightening is that the other party doesn't seem to care about this at all.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Ji Xinghui's mind.

The first possibility is that the other party possesses some kind of information-gathering ability far exceeding that of fraud.

The second possibility is that she didn't see through the skills, but rather the class system that the bizarre game gave to players. In other words, in her eyes, there was no difference between the so-called hidden classes and the public classes.

The third possibility, and the one that Ji Xinghui fears the most, is that she already knew who he was. Even before the two instances were merged, she had already mastered his race, class, skills, and habits.

Either way, it shows that the information gap between the two sides is far greater than he had anticipated.

Continuing to probe in this situation is not called bravery; it's called offering your neck to the other party.

Ji Xinghui proactively stopped the fraudulent roulette.

"I've learned a lot." His smile remained gentle and natural, but compared to before, it carried a hint of genuine caution.

He didn't try to defend himself, nor did he pretend not to understand. Lies work because the other party doesn't know the truth.

But if your cards have already been seen through by the other party, continuing to pretend will only make you look foolish.

Luo Shu hugged the tattered rag doll and silently shrank back half a step behind Ji Xinghui. She had worked with Ji Xinghui for many years and could naturally see details that others could not.

Every word that Miss Number One just said hit the captain right where it hurts.

Luo Shu couldn't help but look up at Mu Zhixi. Her long golden hair fell quietly, and a few pure white wings extended from behind her ears, covering her eyes. Her pale and delicate face was devoid of any extra emotion.

Luo Shu suddenly remembered the results of his divination.

She is both pure and kind, and vicious and ruthless.

The goddess herself may not have meant any harm, but for these players, simply being seen by her seemed to mean that all their secrets were exposed.

This absolute transparency of the gap is itself a suffocating deterrent.

As for Mu Zhixi, she was just a little confused.

Trying to glean information from her face? No, what kind of micro-expressions does this person expect from someone with a blank expression?

Moreover, Ran's eyes were completely covered by the white feathers. Even if the other party had mastered micro-expression analysis to the highest level, they could only analyze how many millimeters her lips had dropped today.

Mu Zhixi felt that this behavior was somewhat putting people in a difficult position.

Gu Wenzhou, standing to the side, took in Ji Xinghui's reaction in that instant.

He didn't interrupt rashly, and only after confirming that Ji Xinghui had voluntarily ended some kind of ability did he take a half step forward at just the right moment.

"My friend, stop your useless tests."

"Trying to use your mortal wisdom in front of my young lady will only expose your shallowness. There is nothing here that can threaten her. You should be glad that you can still stand here and speak."

He did not deliberately exaggerate Mu Zhixi's power, because just now, the facts had been laid bare before everyone.

Even the strangest things can't be hidden in front of Miss Ran, so what makes them think they can be an exception?

"You should all be grateful," Gu Wenzhou smiled slightly, "She doesn't care about your shallow thoughts."

Ji Xing glanced back at Gu Wenzhou with a slight movement in her eyes.

These words, seemingly defending Mu Zhixi, were actually giving him a way out.

The other party did not directly say that Her Majesty already knew everything about you, but instead stopped there by saying that she didn't care.

This is both a warning and a way to ease tensions. It seems that not all the people around Number One are just fools who blindly flatter him.

At least this guy with glasses knows how to use his power to intimidate others.

Cheng Xiaocheng nodded vigorously, unlike Gu Wenzhou who had so many complicated ideas.

"That's right, that's right. Sister Ran doesn't even respect the rules of the Seven Star Dungeon. If you want to live, you should stay in the safe zone and stop testing this and that all day long," Cheng Xiaocheng waved her fist, acting like a bully.

[...This is the first time I've ever seen the fraudster look so defeated.]

What exactly did Miss Number One say? Why did the guy who was trying to scam her look like he'd seen a ghost?

[Stop guessing. Miss Number One's words just now definitely pointed directly to Fraudster's core ability. The difference in strength is too great; there's no point in trying to outsmart him anymore.]

[Didn't you guys notice? Miss Number One didn't even expose what the fraudster did specifically; she just warned him with three words. This shows that she not only saw it, but also deliberately saved him face.]

[That's what's truly terrifying; even when she exposes others, she does it with an air of "I know, but I'm too lazy to say it."]

[Ji Shen clearly tried to maintain his smile just now, but his right shoulder stiffened for less than half a second. As a ten-year fan, I can only say that he's really starting to feel wary.]

Ji Xinghui did not probe further, and took the initiative to step back to the side, making way for Mu Zhixi.

Before figuring out the other party's true status, the safest approach is neither to distance yourself nor to provoke them, but to position yourself in a valuable but non-threatening position.
