Outside the city, Yu Xingchuan and Zhao Yuan were locked in fierce combat.

Inside the city, Xu Shi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing quietly in that direction, lost in thought.

"...Okay, okay, do you want to try it now?"

A short while later, Gu Yi's voice came from behind him.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the laptop pushed in front of him, Xu Shi nodded slightly. "In the end, you still handed your wife over to another man."

"Go away, this isn't the same thing, is it?"

Gu Yi rolled her eyes at him, "You're the one who said the game had problems... but now that you mention it, it really is true, so it's not my problem anymore."

If we were to ask who among Xu Shi's acquaintances knows the most about "Divine Descent," it would naturally be Miss Black Rabbit.

After deducing the future through Xia Ke'an, he naturally told her the news as soon as possible.

The rest was easy – with Gu Yi, a top-notch hacker, Xu Shi smoothly obtained an identity that was almost like a super account.

Not wanting to use cheats and being unable to use cheats are naturally two different concepts.

"However, I must say, the game development is truly impressive. I tried to give you all the permissions, but I failed; I only got some..."

Miss Black Rabbit was still a little indignant, "But it should be enough for you. I wonder what kind of person he is."

There's always someone better.

Xu Shi didn't argue with her too much, after all, this issue wasn't particularly important at the moment—the fact is, don't forget that Gu Yi was only ranked fourth in "Invader-T", which means she's really not the best...

If you really want to hear it, in Xu Shi's understanding, such beings who haven't appeared yet and are superior to the male and female protagonists are usually the ones who will be sent over to be proven wrong in the future, or join the team later? It's hard to say, but these are the two most common scenarios.

However, that's a matter for the future. The most urgent thing is to deal with the current situation. No matter how powerful the person who developed "Divine Descent" is, they did not appear as a threat in Xia Ke'an's prophecy. Shen He was just using their channel, so we can put that aside for now.

One should not be too ambitious.

To eliminate this hidden danger, the most suitable candidate after much thought was Xu Shi himself. He had long known that "entropy of evil thoughts" and "unity of purpose" were contradictory and incompatible. The last confrontation was just an appetizer, and there would definitely be another battle between the two of them, regardless of the level.

It seems to be happening in the virtual realm right now, and there's no way to avoid it.

According to his prediction, the attacks outside the city have already begun, and Shenhe's next step should be to use this method to incite the first wave of riots inside the city.

Anyway, if it were him, it would definitely be this order—the "Forgotten Ones" outside the city are cannon fodder, and the residents inside the city can also be cannon fodder. Only when everything has settled down can his loyal followers be deployed to maximize his interests. Conversely, if the previous plan suffers a Waterloo, it can also preserve the most important manpower.

Even if it's not, it doesn't matter; he'll arrange everything else perfectly.

"I can't handle what happens after that, so I'll leave it to you?"

Putting on the specially made VR helmet beside him, Xu Shi took a breath and whispered.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Gu Yi tugged at his arm, "Are you sure sending just that adjutant outside the city is enough? Won't she be able to hold on?"

She listened attentively as Xu made his arrangements, but after thinking it over, she was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, those people can't cause any trouble anyway."

Xu Shi waved his hand to reassure her, "And believe me, this matter is more suitable to be handled by that adjutant than our Director Tang."

"Really?"

"Fake."

Xu Shi said calmly, "So if the city walls are breached later, we'll have to rely on you to protect us."

"oh."

Gu Yi felt relieved by his words, took out the pistol from her waist and brandished it, "Leave it to me. Although I'm not good at fighting, I'm more than capable of protecting you."

"If you can fire one shot, you've succeeded."

Xu Shi joked.

"Hello!"

Gu Yi wanted nothing more than to bite him to death. Was this never going to end?

However, she's actually quite inept at this – she didn't even touch a gun when we first met, and last time at the party, she was even more... Ugh, so infuriating!

"At worst, I'll empty your magazine."

"Oh, I can't breathe."

Xu Shi raised his hands in surrender, ignored her, activated his helmet, gripped the "Yujing" in his hand, and then closed his eyes.

"Tch, you're lucky you ran fast."

Gu Yi snorted, but she knew this wasn't the time to joke, so she just sat quietly next to him, monitoring another screen.

She still has things to do.

But just then, someone tried to distract her, and a small white-haired head popped out from behind her. "Oh, Miss Gu, you have this kind of trick up your sleeve?"

"Go play by yourself, I don't have time to deal with you."

Miss Black Rabbit tore open a lollipop, then nudged Xia Ke'an without turning her head.

"What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you protect me?"

The white-haired loli stood with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks, and said angrily, "I'll tell on you later."

Yes, Xu Shi's considerations were quite thorough. The non-combat personnel had already been settled by him—Little Black Rabbit and the old aunt were staying with him, while Jiang Chengcheng was with Su Lin, providing her with some assistance.

He just said "we," not "I," and even that "It's up to you" wasn't actually directed at Gu Yi...
