Yu Wenji’s expression turned dark and somber."If not for a fortuitous coincidence that brought this news to me, I wouldn’t even have been aware that demons had infiltrated to such an extent."

"Gang Leader... I don’t understand, why would demons go to such lengths, what exactly do they want to do?"

"I don’t know, but... whatever they intend to do, we must help them with all our might!"

Wu Junshi’s eyes widened in astonishment.

"We... help demons?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

Yu Wenji glanced at Wu Junshi and smiled.

"Wu Junshi, ’where the water is too clear, there are no fish.’ Chaos is the only chance for our gang to rise. Do you understand?"

Wu Junshi immediately caught on.

Indeed, the big families above oppressed the entirety of Tianyuan Town, and the cake below had been swept clean by the big gangs and forces.

Without someone stirring up trouble, the Black Tiger Gang could forget about expanding their territory in this lifetime.

But such a move was undoubtedly fraught with tremendous risks.

One misstep, and they would be opposing all the powers in Tianyuan Town.

After all, that would mean aiding demons!

"I know what you’re thinking. How can a true man striving for great deeds be confined by trivial concerns!"

"If this succeeds, with demons causing chaos and big gangs falling, and small gangs rising, aren’t we also doing a great and virtuous deed?"

To portray collusion with demons in such a righteous manner.

"Gang Leader, that’s solid!"

Wu Junshi gave a thumbs up.

"So, when will the demons take action, and how do we assist them in succeeding? Why not go directly to the demons and present our loyalty?"

"Can humans and demons trust each other so easily? Besides, we are to fan the flames, not to show ourselves in open daylight. Even the act of helping demons must be done without anyone noticing, even the demons themselves, that’s for the best."

"What does the Gang Leader mean?"

"Pretend to be confused, accomplish great things!"

Wu Junshi: !!!

"Gang Leader, high and solid!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Yu Wenji laughed heartily.

All is ready except for the opportune moment.

He was extremely confident that Diao Ruru would certainly discover that Diao Deyi was a demon.

Then, she would turn to our side and become our spy.

Everything will proceed according to plan.

Tianyuan Town will eventually fall into my hands!

In reality.

Fang Yu opened his eyes.

Taking off the helmet, Fang Yu felt refreshed.

Clearly, playing the game was no different from sleeping in reality.

Otherwise, sustained all-night gaming would have left him exhausted.

Fang Yu thought back to when game characters needed sleep to rest.

Now that he had become a Martial Artist, even staying up all night left him feeling great.

He immediately realized this was an exploitable point.

He could completely control his character to practice Martial Arts throughout the night while other players hadn’t become Martial Artists yet, whose characters would lack energy and need sleep to recover.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible Fang Yu found the idea.

"I’m going to outwork you all!"

"Do you know what it means to be a workaholic?"

"You only play the game for 12 hours a day."

"I’m online 24 hours a day and continuously practicing martial arts, now tell me if you’re not scared!"

Fang Yu felt a surge of pride in his heart, feeling more and more like he’s getting into the role of a professional gamer.

Back again! All back again!

Previously, when he grinded in a game, it was about nonstop farming for three days and nights selling materials for money.

Although he ended up losing tens of thousands, that fighting spirit was now fully embodied!

With hope in life, Fang Yu felt a surge of energy and couldn’t wait to dive back into the game.

But no need to rush for now.

Turn on the stove, boil the noodles.

Instant noodles into the pot.

While waiting for the noodles to cook, Fang Yu began browsing through the forums.

As the currently top-ranked game, the heat of discussion about the game is unprecedented.

Also, unlike the first day when most of the information was pretty useless,

some players have started to regularly sum up their experiences and post simple strategy threads.

"Shock! Attack-defense switching—direct insight into the core of the game’s battle system!"

An ever-trending thread caught Fang Yu’s attention.

He clicked in and instantly found it filled with valuable information.

"The Seeking Demon Game’s combat is divided into offense and defense."

"Offense involves physical condition, attacking posture, attack intensity, skill enhancements, etc. The upper and lower bounds of power have a great range of fluctuation."

"This resembles realistic combat simulation where, in real life, not every punch we throw is with full force. We get distracted, we may punch slower, and in the game, this translates to each punch’s power fluctuating."

"Since the game doesn’t feature damage values and creates an entirely lifelike scenario, we can only make real-time damage judgments based on the feedback from fist-to-flesh contact and the severity of the wounds inflicted on the enemy."

"In layman’s terms, if you punch someone and they drop, that’s high damage."

"If you punch someone right in the forehead, that’s a critical hit."

Below was a long list of manual-like details, which gave Fang Yu a headache.

Scanning through the defensive section, Fang Yu suddenly paused.

"...And then there’s defense, which consists of physically tanking it and parrying."

"When facing an attack, making a clear parry can effectively reduce the damage."

"For example, if an enemy throws a punch and we lift our hands, palms blocking the punch, that’s an effective parry."

"A wrong example would be if an enemy throws a punch and we counter with our own punch, which should be judged by the system as a collision attack, both dealing full damage."

Fang Yu thought back to his fight with Brother Hu and his group.

Both of these situations had occurred, but the outcomes were the same.

All resulting in ’-0’ damage.

So in this regard, the post must have gotten it wrong.

Feeling the post had errors and lacked authority, Fang Yu’s skimming became more casual.

He then realized that while the thread was analyzing the Seeking Demon Game, it was applying formulas from other games to dissect it.

Exiting out, he then checked out other strategy threads.

He found that to various degrees, others were trying to apply templates from other games onto this new one.

While some aspects matched, most of the time they didn’t.

Fang Yu felt their understanding of the game was still too superficial.

Not as good as the gold miner and Gold Medal Profession player Diao Deyi!

Fang Yu’s interest in technical posts quickly waned, and he glanced at the gossip and messy threads.

Suddenly, one thread caught his eye.

"Doctor! Is there any doctor to save me!!"

Clicking in...

"Brothers, are there any brothers and sisters from Lianyun Village here? I need a doctor, online plea!!"

"It’s like this. I was born in Lianyun Village, where the village chief issued a long-term quest to hunt down ’Lian Qingjin’ and a daily quest to rob merchants."

"I went with the main force to rob a merchant, then got shot by several arrows from the merchant’s guards, blood gushing out. Our team was utterly defeated and fled."

"After returning to Lianyun Village, I was just bandaged up by the village doctor and then left alone."

"And a day goes by just like that, with no sign of recovery from my injuries."

"Is there any doctor nearby, please save me! It’s a life-threatening emergency in the world!"
