For Luo Yang to admit so readily, Ji Chen was somewhat surprised. Fie had thought there would be some resistance first.

But this also saved him some effort.

“What is your relationship with those deceivers? Are you of the same kind, or is it a matter of mutual interest?”

“Neither.” Luo Yang shook his head. “I was just being controlled by them.”

“Do you still remember when 1 mentioned before that after losing my territory, 1 came to Maple City and earned a considerable amount of gold by doing business, eventually buying the Cat Tail Tavern?”

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

Luo Yang had brought up these points previously. Ji Chen thought it was quite impressive how a player without wealth or influence managed to establish himself in Maple City within just a few months.

But now, upon reconsideration, it seemed a bit too smooth.

Even though the Cat Tail Tavern was located in a relatively remote area, it was still within the capital of a nation, not to mention being in the prosperous commercial hub of Maple City.

Such a large tavern, with just the land alone worth millions of gold coins. Plus, players were naturally not well-received by the indigenous population, so how could it have been so easy to reach this point?

Now, it appeared that there were many loopholes in this story.

All of this, most likely, had a lot to do with the deceivers.

Sure enough, Luo Yang continued, “Shortly after arriving in the city, I found myself in a tough spot because I lacked combat skills or any special talents for exploration. Even other players who depended on local quests for their livelihood were struggling to make ends meet. I had no choice but to take on odd jobs in the streets just to get by.

That night after you left, they came to me shortly after to ask for information about you. 1 just relayed what those two guys had said, and I know nothing else.”

Ji Chen fell into silence for a moment.

How should he put it? This all made sense.

However, what caught him off guard was that the player who had always seen himself as the “Fourth Cataclysm” had, in an unexpected turn of events, forged an alliance with the indigenous forces.

(T/N: The Fourth Cataclysm is a playful term in the Chinese gaming community that refers to players having the ability to control and manipulate a game world, often summoning other in -game characters or players to assist them in various tasks or battles.)

This was different from what he had imagined.

In Luo Yang’s experience, it did open up another side of player life.

But he also noticed that when Luo Yang spoke, he consistently used “they” to refer to the Deceivers and there was a sense of unfamiliarity between the lines.

In theory, if he had really joined them, he shouldn’t be so unfamiliar.

Ji Chen thought of something but didn’t directly point it out; instead, he made an indirect comment with a touch of disdain and mockery.

“It seems that you haven’t been valued by the Deceivers either. You’ve been back for so long, and they know you’re most likely exposed, yet they haven’t come to pick you up. It looks like they’ve already abandoned you.”

Luo Yang’s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked slightly disheartened but remained clear-headed.

“I know they’re just using me, just like a business relationship. The only thing that maintains our connection is mutual benefit. They need me to act as a player, and I need their support to live a better life.

I’m fundamentally still a player, and for that reason alone, it’s difficult for them to truly accept me. I’m very clear about this.

Moreover, they are a group of people with somewhat abnormal minds. While 1 do hate the gods, I’m not like them, trying to destroy all god-descended races and even attempting deicide….”
