Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Party Ends

The chubby guy ’Fox’ was overjoyed.

A year ago, in an effort to slim down and become a heartthrob, he had painfully given up all carbonated drinks. Now, he specifically ordered a chilled bottle of ’82 Cola, gulping it down in one go.

That’s right, he had also guessed that ’Honey Badger’ was a bigshot, but his deduction wasn’t solely based on the information about ’divine beings emerging in reality.’ There was an even more compelling reason.

He had previously collaborated with Leopard and had private contact information.

At the very beginning of the online gathering, aside from greeting the ’Secret Cultivation Practitioner,’ Leopard had also greeted ’Honey Badger’ with remarkable respect.

This caught ’Fox’s’ attention, prompting him to reach out to ’Leopard’ to inquire about ’Honey Badger.’

The response left him deeply stunned...

’Honey Badger’ wasn’t some newbie; he was a bigshot — an elite player that even the ’Secret Cultivation Practitioner’ had to treat with reverence.

Thinking about teaming up with the great ’Honey Badger.’

Fox was completely thrilled.

Even his speaking voice carried traces of excitement.

"Boss, boss, I’m at a boutique esports hotel here in Capital City. My contact and detailed address have already been sent to the group admin, who’ll forward them to you shortly. This newbie couldn’t be happier to work with such a legendary boss."

’Deceiver,’ sir, I’m also very happy to collaborate with you.

In a rental apartment,

Yang Qizhou’s smile carried a trace of cruelty.

Soon enough, the ’Secret Cultivation Practitioner’ sent over the contact details and current residence address of the member ’Fox.’ It was a phone number starting with 177 — surprisingly, a virtual operator number. Clearly, the other party was quite cautious and vigilant in their daily activities.

"Tomorrow at noon, I’ll come to find you."

Yang Qizhou’s voice carried a hint of oddity.

Unfortunately, ’Fox’ didn’t pick up on it. He thought this was a rare opportunity to bond with the great ’boss’ and naturally wouldn’t pass it up. Grasping for conversation, he said, "Right, boss, didn’t you say earlier that you were in Magic City? When did you get to Capital City?"

"Actually, I’ve always been in Capital City."

"Ah... always here... so earlier the ’boss’ was just messing with me?"

"What, are you upset?"

"Upset? No, no, no, how could I be upset? It’s perfectly reasonable and natural for a ’boss’ to tease a newbie like me. The fact that the ’boss’ is teasing me shows that they acknowledge me. I’m happier than ever, no chance I’d be angry."

Yang Qizhou wasn’t so easily convinced by flattery. Instead of being swayed, he only grew more focused on ’Fox.’

Though others might not realize it, he had used the ’Stone of Truth’ to uncover the effects of ’Fox’s’ Destiny’s Blessing, giving him full awareness of just how strange the ’Deceiver’s’ abilities truly were.

One could simply designate a desired event and use language as a tool to guide things toward their intended direction.

For example, right now...

To outsiders, it might seem that ’Fox’ was just buttering him up. But perhaps he was actually wielding the power of the ’Deceiver,’ using words as a weapon to steer matters toward his own anticipated outcome.

"Still, compared to me, he’s got a ways to go. Tomorrow, when we meet, hmm... how should I ’handle’ him?"

"Eh, too cruel — people should have a bit of mercy."

"Hmm, hmm, alright then, not too cruel."

Muttering to himself, Yang Qizhou’s smile grew increasingly sinister.

With the conclusion of the third segment, the ’Secret Cultivation Society’ online gathering came to an end. The group admin, ’Secret Cultivation Practitioner,’ wrapped things up with some hackneyed pleasantries and terminated the group chat.

At the top floor of a skyscraper,

The ’Secret Cultivation Practitioner’ let her silky hair cascade loosely, her expression no longer as tight as before. The heavy burden in her heart had finally been lifted.

"No wonder ’Fox’ just mentioned offending a ’boss,’ and then ’Honey Badger’ joined the group."

"Turns out he came because of ’Fox.’"

"Fox, oh Fox, of all people to provoke, you had to stir up this guy."

"He’s currently the only unregistered S-class player in the Deceit Bureau — someone who once subdued an Abyss New God in its nascent state with mere reprimands, a top-tier player beyond compare."

"Among all the players in the [Deceit World], those who could rival him could probably be counted on two hands."

"Don’t blame me."

"You’ve caused too much trouble; I can’t shield you. Be careful in your next life."

"By the way,"

"Tomorrow at noon, ’Honey Badger’ and ’Fox’ will meet. This could be a great opportunity. Perhaps I should pay a secret visit to observe this enigmatic ’lamp holder.’"

...

...

The ’Secret Cultivation Society’ online gathering came to a close, and Yang Qizhou stretched deeply, thinking to himself that this had been quite the haul. Not only had he gleaned the Hidden Information about the ’consequences of a divine being’s fall,’ he had also made contact with ’Fox,’ who had nearly tricked him out of his Hidden God’s Clothes. Tomorrow at noon, he could finally show him the meaning of cruelty.

Ordering some takeout for a midnight snack, Yang Qizhou sorted through [Deceit World] game information while letting out a long sigh...

"Sigh, this world is growing increasingly chaotic."

"Over in Jinling, there’s activity from the ’Knowledge Boundary,’ but it’s far away and shouldn’t affect me."

"But things in ’Capital City’ are far less stable. The ’Hermit Association’ is active in the shadows, likely trying to create the twisted ’divine beings’ that once ruled ancient lands."

"There’s also another Hidden Organization called the ’Death Cult,’ which may be teaming up with the ’Hermit Association’ to stir up trouble."

"It’s like they’re planning to overturn the entire world."

Unable to make sense of the tangled threads, Yang Qizhou set the matter aside. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly grabbed his phone to check his bank card balance,

"Given the timing, the negative effects of [Hidden God’s Clothes] should be kicking in. Hopefully, it doesn’t drain too much."
