Chapter 2: The Sacrificial Crisis
"Trigger Quest - Sacrificial Crisis"
Sacrificial Crisis: Clever (Cunning?) You, through the strangeness and clues of the past few days, have discovered the conspiracy of the principals here, and know that they are plotting to sacrifice the sacrifice, and as a sacrifice, you are facing a crisis that endangers life and death, and it is your top priority to resolve the crisis.
Mission reward: 2 deception points.
Bonus: If you manage to destroy all enemies, you will be rewarded with +3 fraud points.
This task, Joxiu just clicked on the task panel to see, and its appearance was completely unexpected.
Even if he didn't have this task, he had to ensure the safety of his life, and those rewards were completely for nothing.
As for that extra reward, Joxiu can still think about it if he is still the high-ranking manipulator of fate.
Now I can only hehe, it is not easy to save my life, and I will completely annihilate the enemy? Are you kidding?
Fraud Points are a very valuable value, and in some ways, even more valuable than stat values.
Unlike Attribute Points, which only earn one free point per 2 levels, Fraud Points can only be obtained through fraud.
As a unique class called the Fraudster, it does not require any experience points, but is upgraded through Fraud Points.
For example, Joshua now has a new point of fraud, as follows-
Class: Fraudster (Special) (Solitary) Level 1 (1/10).
Regardless of whether this point is used or not, this (1/10) will not be reset to zero.
In addition, some of the fraudster's signature skills must be activated through fraud points, just like the commandments of the ascetic and the holy power of the paladin.
These are the strengths that have been accumulated through hard work in their careers, and some of the most powerful skills need to be stimulated by these special energies.
There is also a clear limit to the number of points, not just a casual lie, nor can you just get it by casually deceiving an individual.
Otherwise, if you find a child to cheat and get a bunch of fraud points, wouldn't it be upside down?
From the fact that Joshu deceived Marlai, a former second-order swordsman, to get a little fraud point, you can see how hard-won it is.
So when he saw that the bonus reward was 3 cheat points, Joxiu could only hehe.
He didn't think much about it, and after eating silently, his hunger was relieved, and it became-
Health 35/35.
After the meal, soon a man in a sacrificial robe came in, but looking at the white embroidery on his chest, it was not difficult to see that the other party was a first-order professional.
This is a middle-aged man of some age, and his voice is low:
"The recent work is coming to an end, so there is some special work to be done today, so you will stay here honestly in the morning, and gather in the hall in the afternoon, and the high priest will have orders when the time comes."
"The High Priest said that if you can satisfy him, he will give you an extra surprise in addition to the corresponding reward."
After this first-order professional left, dozens of people in the room completely exploded, and the surprise that a high priest said really made them look forward to it.
Low-level workers like them who do dirty work are actually very lucky, and if you are unlucky and meet a black-hearted boss, there will always be a reason to deduct a lot of your salary.
But if you are lucky, working for some big people with status, if the other party is in a good mood, or if the performance is satisfactory to the other party, there are often many additional benefits, and many people have tasted the sweetness.
And figures like the High Priest say it's a surprise reward, and it makes them exciting just to think about.
As paupers, even a gold coin is worth stealing for a while, and in fact, many paupers will not be able to own even one gold coin in their lifetime.
Ma Lai raised his eyebrows, his face was brewing, if he only believed eighty percent of his words before about Xiu, now the remaining twenty percent of his doubts have been completely dispelled, and he is naturally not simple to be able to mix to the level of a second-order professional.
Subconsciously, he set his eyes on Yoxiu, but saw that the other party's eyes were closed, and the old god was there, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
This look made him feel a little relieved, judging by his experience, the performance of the other party shows that the other party should have a certain degree of certainty.
Now is not the time, wait for lunch, it should be a good time to discuss, Ma Lai secretly thought, he saw many big people, will choose to talk about big things at this point in time.
Although he didn't understand, he also knew to emulate.
At Marlai's glance, Joxiu could sense it even when he closed his eyes, and his spirit value reached 17 points.
He is now a first-order, but this attribute is a very good number even if he is placed in the second-order, so his perception is much higher than that of ordinary people.
What's more, he is a fraudster, and without keen sense, he would not have been a peak player in his previous life.
As Marley guessed, Joshua did have a way to escape, and even the probability of success of this method reached more than seventy percent, but it was just ......
This escape doesn't have to be all of us surviving, is it?
"If Marley is sacrificed again, then the success rate of this plan will be increased by one percent, a full eighty percent!"
Joxiu calculated, and in the end, a perfect plan finally emerged, "Eighty percent success rate, enough!" ”
In fact, he couldn't think of a higher plan either, as for Marlai's life or death......
A person who was still calculating his own remuneration just now, a person who had also killed himself, could he have a fateful friendship because the two of them had spoken?
It's ridiculous, as a fraudster, he deeply understands that even if you don't calculate others, others will come to calculate you, not to mention, this is a cruel otherworldly continent.
The darkness inside felt dirty even when he was a player in his previous life.
In his expectation, Marley would have come to himself to talk about "something".
The performance of the old god just now was actually a decoy for him to deliberately perform, or rather...... is a hint of a fraudster.
Sure enough, while Joshua was eating, Marais came over with his food and sat down with Joshua.
The room was very simple, and it was better than the house in the slums, and the sacrifices were hired to do some work of carrying them in the name of doing good.
As for why the location of this project is remote, it is not a problem for them to think about, these days, as long as there is money to give, it is their food and clothing.
"This meal is good," said Marley, "just like ...... The last meal of the condemned prisoner, isn't it? ”
Joxiu nodded silently, ate to himself, and said no more.
Seeing this, Ma Lai raised his eyebrows, and after taking a few bites of food, he finally couldn't help but speak again.
Joxiu sneered in his heart, now that he has an information advantage, he is naturally more calm, and it is only a matter of time before Ma Lai can't hold his breath.
"What do you think about the afternoon?"
Marais spoke in a vague way, and Joshua knew that he was talking about sacrificing them as a sacrifice, and as for what he had in mind, that is, to ask him if there was any good way to escape.
"I don't have any ideas yet."
Joxiu made such an understatement, Ma Lai's face darkened a little, and he said a little gloomy:
"It's our lives, and I think it's better for us to be open and honest, or ...... Do you think you'll be able to slip away on your own? ”
In the end, it was Chiguoguo's threat, and Joxiu believed that if he didn't say something to satisfy Marlai, the other party would definitely not be able to make him please.
But he didn't know it...... This is exactly what he wants.
"I had a plan to escape, but ...... The question is, is it very risky for you to cooperate with even this plan? And ......"
Joxiu glanced around the others vaguely, "Your subordinates ......"
When Ma Lai heard this, he thought slightly, "How sure are you?" ”
"Sixty percent!"
Hearing the number of sixty percent, Ma Lai frowned, although the probability was a bit low, but compared to what he thought of himself, it was much better than the plan that he was sure of.
In fact, this probability is already very high, after all, they are now deep into the enemy camp, and it is already very surprising that they can escape more than half of the chance.
If Joshua said ten out of ten, or higher, he would be suspicious, wondering if the other party was deceiving him and what he wanted to achieve.
But after hearing Sixty Percent, although Ma Lai was still a little skeptical, he did not think too much, if it were not for his usual caution, he would have even believed in Josh completely.
After thinking about it for a while, Marley decided to listen to Joshua's advice, and even swore in the name of the god he believed in, promising that he would not reveal Joshou's plan, and if he agreed, he would fully cooperate.
As for the so-called subordinates?
He believed that when he became famous and lived, with his own strength and means, he would be willing to follow him.
Moreover, by reporting a sacrifice, any church and administration will have the added benefit of giving themselves the advantage of having their own exclusive possession if possible.
Joxiu sneered secretly, he could guess Ma Lai's thoughts at once.
He believes that if there is a chance for the other party to see his cleverness, he may find a chance to kill him after escaping, and that oath, to hell, can only fool the three-year-old child.
There is a saying in the Qilun Continent that is quite popular-
"What the adventurer says is even more unreliable than the devil."
However, on the whole, this is also an indication of attitude, and this 60% certainty is also the figure obtained from Joshua's experience of fraud.
Countless experiences have proven that in many cases, a 60% chance is more intoxicating than a 90% chance!
Joshua slowly explained his plan, and he even emphasized some of the key points in a deliberately accentuated tone a few times.
In the process, Marlai's face didn't know how many times.
Even if he hadn't acted yet, he had a feeling of a state of mind war, and at the same time, he saw the unwavering face of the young man in front of him, and his heart slowly became vigilant.
Even if a veteran adventurer like himself wavered in his plans, how could this teenager still be so calm? If you can survive, you may need to reconsider whether you really want to monopolize the benefits......
"Are you sure you're okay with what you're saying?" Marley said in a stiff tone.
Seeing that the other party was a little shaken, Joxiu secretly sneered, even if he was an adventurer who was more advanced than himself?
Outside, or if you change to someone else, you can only whisper to her, after all, when it comes to fighting, a level 1 professional can only be shot to death by him, but Yoxiu is different-
Since he came here to probe the wind, he has fallen into his calculation step by step, especially his breathless and active opening, which has made this calculation come naturally, and now......
Skill to take advantage of the momentum!
Skill Judgment ......
Take advantage of the momentum and launch success!
Almost instantly, a dominant aura emanated from Yoxiu's body, and with this aura, he said slowly: "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and they are born after death!" ”
"Is there a better way for you?"
Marley was silent, sighed for the last time, and decided to cooperate with Joshua's plan!
This is a compromise of a strong person who is several levels higher than himself!
