Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

Back home, there was basically only an hour or two left.

Sitting on his bed, Xu Tong briefly checked his personal items and skills, then sorted through his friends list.

It was only now that Xu Tong realized his friend requests were overflowing with messages.

That's one good thing about the Abyss World: unless you check it yourself, you won't notice any new messages popping up; no red dots, no exclamation marks, nothing to disturb your thoughts.

However, the result of this is... many people, after sending a friend request and seeing that Xu Tong hasn't accepted it, begin to doubt their own abilities, wondering if Xu Tong simply looks down on them.

"Why are so many people sending requests..."

Xu Tong glanced at them, eliminated some meaningless friend requests like those from Gu Xin and Xu Li, and accepted the requests of some people he thought might be useful.

「Friend Request: Shen Yu, Accepted」

「Friend Request: Yan Yichen, Accepted」

「Friend Request: Jiang Bo, Accepted」

「Friend Request: Fu Yun, Accepted」

「Friend Request: Wang Qi, Accepted」

「Friend Request: Lan Fu, Accepted」

"At first glance, it seems like my friends list is full of rare and powerful individuals."

Shen Yu, of course, needs no introduction. He's a well-known powerhouse among the Bureau of Strategic Countermeasures' rookies. If Xu Tong hadn't "suddenly appeared," he probably would have already secured the title of the number one rookie.

Fu Yun is even more impressive, a big shot from the Plum Blossom Group who has already reached level 70 as an elite player. Others might not even get a friend slot from him even if they wanted it.

The fact that he personally sent a friend request means I've got plenty of prestige.

The remaining people are also generally remarkable, at least not completely useless players, and have basically shown some kind of performance in their respective副本 (fùběn - instances/dungeons).

"Now, I should be considered a mid-tier player, right?"

Xu Tong's identity card has now been replaced with a Heart, making him a member of the Heart Group, with a status equivalent to Wang Qi.

Not many people at this level can enter the Heart Group, which completely proves his strength.

Originally, Xu Tong thought that defeating Shen Yu in the Confrontation Instance would be enough to prove his value and potential, but unexpectedly, above Shen Yu, there was another top player called a Martyr, whose name he didn't even know.

"I wonder what level I have to reach to have the honor of meeting this Martyr in a random instance world."

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. If I don't even know what kind of abilities or skills this Martyr has, there's no way to talk about surpassing him.

"Ah, I shouldn't think so much. I should deal with the things in front of me first."

A meow came from the bedroom doorway.

Xu Tong looked towards the door and saw Vaccine standing there, meowing at him.

"Alright, come in."

Hearing Xu Tong say these four words, Vaccine gracefully jumped onto Xu Tong's bed and lay down on his lap.

Sometimes, Xu Tong really wonders if his cat has become a spirit.

Otherwise, how could this guy understand what he's saying?

Having seen the Abyss World, Xu Tong no longer feels so confused about anything. He stroked its fur and muttered, "Since you can understand me, I hope I can have a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner after I wake up from the instance."

Hearing Xu Tong's words, Vaccine raised her head.

Only to find that Xu Tong had already closed his eyes.

Falling into the layers of the Abyss World.

"Hey."

A soft call. Vaccine turned her head and looked at the bedroom door. Jia Yuanjia, wearing sunglasses, was standing there, but his body was illusory, as if it wasn't his real body that had come here.

Vaccine showed obvious hostility, a little naive and green, but the dignified voice of a little girl could be heard coming from her mouth.

"This world shouldn't be touched by you. Intruder, get back!"

Jia Yuanjia spread his hands. "Don't be like that. I'm only here because I have important matters to attend to. If it weren't for these complicated things, I wouldn't bother to make a trip to another world."

Vaccine maintained her offensive posture and questioned, "What important matters do you have? If you can't explain it clearly, you can die."

Jia Yuanjia immediately raised his arms, made a gesture of surrender, and explained: "This All-People Instance is another gamble, but this time the gamble is different. Each participant in the gamble chooses someone from this group of players to determine the ultimate winner."

"In other words, the party that selected the player who completes the instance will win this gamble."

Vaccine's words were filled with confusion. "So, you're here to protect Xu Tong? Because he was selected by a participant?"

Jia Yuanjia gave an awkward laugh. "That's not the case, because every participant wants to choose Xu Tong, and he can't be divided into dozens or hundreds of pieces, so... we made a rule, which is that no one is allowed to choose Xu Tong.

"Xu Tong himself is a participant.

"If he wins this gamble, then all the benefits will go to him, and the rest of the people won't get a single benefit."

Hearing Jia Yuanjia say this, Vaccine immediately understood what he meant.

"In other words," Jia Yuanjia continued, with a strange smile on his face, "If other participants want to get benefits, Xu Tong must be eliminated.

"If you want to eliminate him, naturally, starting from the world he is in is the best way, isn't it?"

——

「Welcome to the All-People Instance!」

「In this chaotic world that is on the verge of breaking and is composed of multiple worlds, all you have to do is one thing」

「That is to pass through all the mixed and disturbed worlds, arrive at the final royal city, slay gods and immortals, and sit on that hideous iron bone throne」

「This is the Path to Slaying Gods!」

「This is the Path to Becoming a God!」

「Losers will be turned into skeletal steps, carrying the lamp of hope to the end」

「Even if you are the only one left, never give up the last hope」

「Behind you is a dazzling galaxy」

「In front of you are tens of millions of dead bones in the tomb」

「Never stop your steps」

「Because you are humanity's last savior!」

Rows of instance introductions came into view, making Xu Tong's scalp tingle.

Isn't this a bit too embarrassing?

Just as Xu Tong was about to get up and check the surrounding situation.

"Huh?"

Xu Tong lowered his head.

At this moment, he was sitting on a hideous iron bone throne.

Xu Tong:……

Where did the instance introduction tell me to sit just now?

Aren't I sitting on it right now???
