I Became a God in a Horror Game

“How did they do that?!” Mu Sicheng was completely confused.

Bai Liu said calmly: “Intelligence and targeted skills screening.”

“I also tend to agree with this answer.” Wang Shun nodded and agreed with Bai Liu’s statement, “Russell Cemetery has collected a large number of new players with low skills, and then sent out a team of new players with skills that can suppress the opponent according to the different skills of the members of each guild team they are fighting against.”

Wang Shun continued, “This tactic was demonstrated when Russell Cemetery fought against multiple guild teams. Their players’ skills consciously targeted the enemy’s ace players.”

“The most obvious one is the one in Russell Cemetery vs. Killer Sequence Challenge.”

Wang Shun clicked on the panel and a short video appeared on it.

The character in the short video was obviously Spades trapped in the quagmire. Wang Shun explained:

“In this game, the skill of the Russell Cemetery Tactician is to swallow an enemy player into a quagmire, restricting their movement speed and reducing their attack damage. However, in return, one of our own players must sacrifice himself to activate this skill.”

“This skill is useless in daily games and normal leagues.”

“In the game, no team member would be willing to sacrifice themselves just to trap a monster. In the league, no guild would sacrifice the players they have worked so hard to train just to block the movement of an opponent’s player.”

Wang Shun turned his head and looked at Spades who was trapped in the panel: “But this seemingly useless skill is very effective when facing Spades who is used to leaving the team and acting alone, and uses fast movement and fast attack as his main killer moves.”

“After trapping Spades, the fierce offensive rhythm of the Killer Sequence was instantly interrupted. One day later, one member of the Killer Sequence was killed.”

Wang Shun turned his head and looked at Mu Sicheng: “If it wasn’t for Spades’ final breakthrough, last year’s first place would not have been the Killer Sequence.”

Mu Sicheng couldn’t believe it: “With this method, can we have a 93% chance of winning?!”

“It is precisely because of this method that we can have such a high winning rate.” Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the paper. “Gather a large number of new players, and then select the skills that just restrain the enemy from a large number of players. Change the team as the enemy rotates. Each team has been carefully selected to be consumables, and they are replaced when they die.”

“Very good tactics.” Bai Liu commented calmly.

Wang Shun sighed deeply: “This tactic is very cruel, but cruel tactics are often effective in this game. I haven’t thought of a good solution yet.”

“How come there is no solution?!” Mu Sicheng was very unconvinced, “They developed tactics against us, and we can also develop tactics against them!”

Liu Jiayi, who had been silent, suddenly said, “It can’t be done.”

Mu Sicheng glanced over and said, “Why can’t they do it? They are just ordinary newcomers with ordinary skills. As long as we know the information about them…”

“The problem is that it’s hard to know.” Liu Jiayi looked directly at Mu Sicheng. “Russell Cemetery has 500 to 1,000 reserve players. In order to reduce the exposure of these players, Russell Cemetery gave up training star players and gave up single and double competitions. Basically, every player has no way to find game videos that can be entered into the small TV library.”

“Under such circumstances, it is difficult to obtain the skills intelligence of so many ordinary newcomers.”

Mu Sicheng turned his head to look at Wang Shun: “We can let Wang Shun sneak in, and then use his skills to obtain the other party’s intelligence…”

Liu Jiayi interrupted Mu Sicheng coldly: “Do you think the King’s Guild has never tried it?”

“First of all, even if Wang Shun could sneak into Russell Cemetery and obtain the intelligence of these hundreds of people without being discovered, it would be difficult to determine which of these hundreds of people’s new skills are targeted at our team based on the intelligence obtained from Wang Shun alone.”

“Secondly, Mu Sicheng, do you know how many permutations there would be if hundreds or thousands of people were to perform the permutations of five?”

“Tens of thousands.” Before Mu Sicheng could answer, Liu Jiayi gave the answer directly, “These hundreds of people can form tens of thousands of team combinations, and there are tens of thousands of possibilities for how their skills will look after being assembled and combined.”

Liu Jiayi looked directly at Mu Sicheng: “We are in the light, and they are in the dark. There are only five of us, and they have hundreds of newcomers who have hardly been exposed.”

“Besides, because of our excellent skills, our exposure rate is not low. Except for Tang Erda, almost everyone has several game videos that have been included in the small TV library.”

“We can’t do what they do and completely abandon our star players, because we need the audience’s support to get a golden ticket to immortality, so our exposure will become higher and higher in the future, and it will be easy for them to obtain intelligence on us.”

“The amount of intelligence information is totally unequal.” Liu Jiayi made a cold judgment, “It is impossible to formulate targeted tactics.”

“During last year’s mid-season tournament, even the Kings Guild didn’t know which players Russell Cemetery would send out to compete until the moment they took the court.”

Mu Sicheng slowly leaned over the table after hearing this, his eyes wide open: “…How can we play this? Isn’t this too shameless?”

Suddenly, Mu Sicheng straightened up again and slammed the table. “No! Russell Cemetery is using up so many of these reserve players and sending them to die. These reserve players definitely don’t want that!”

“We can start from this aspect!” Mu Sicheng said confidently, looking at Bai Liu with shining eyes, “Bai Liu, it’s time for you to play your role. With your eloquence, you can definitely persuade these reserve members to join our Wandering Circus Guild!”

For a moment, Bai Liu, Wang Shun, and Liu Jiayi all looked at Mu Sicheng with a very friendly expression.

“Actually,” Wang Shun said tactfully, “I think you don’t need to be so active in tactical discussions, God Mu.”

Mu Sicheng took a while to react, and after realizing what Wang Shun meant, he lay down on the table again in frustration: “…Did I say something wrong again?”

“It’s impossible that this group of reserve players know that they are going to be used as cannon fodder, yet they are still willing to participate in the league for this Russell Cemetery?” Mu Sicheng put his head on the table and looked at Wang Shun.

Wang Shun sighed with mixed feelings: “That’s true.”

Mu Sicheng was really confused now: “Why?”

Liu Jiayi rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: “Idiot, do you know why the Russell Cemetery is called the Russell Cemetery?”

Mu Sicheng paused for a moment, then said in disbelief: “Fuck, no way? Cemetery? Is that what I thought it meant?”

“Bingo, yes, that’s what you think.” Liu Jiayi snapped her fingers. “New players who join this guild know what kind of guild they have entered, and they also know that they are likely to be sacrificed by the guild.”

“They knew they were walking into a public cemetery and were prepared to become one.”

Mu Sicheng leaned back in his chair, his eyes out of focus: “…I can’t understand why they would do this.”

“God Mu, you rarely pay attention to these news because you don’t like the guild.” Wang Shun explained, “Russell Cemetery is essentially an escape-type guild, accepting a large number of new players of the horror game.”

“Some new players are very averse to the game and want to escape from it, so the president of Russell Cemetery stepped forward and established this collective cemetery association.”

“He promised these players that you can deposit your death here in Russell Cemetery. When the day comes when Russell Cemetery wins, I will make a wish to revive you from the cemetery and distribute the points to you, satisfying your desires and allowing you to leave the game.”

Mu Sicheng thought it was ridiculous: “How could anyone believe this?”

Wang Shun nodded: “Many players believe it. Apart from the high-level skilled new players who were screened out by the big guilds, a considerable number of skilled players of varying quality went to Russell Cemetery.”

Mu Sicheng was speechless: “What if Russell Cemetery can’t win the championship at all? Wouldn’t they have died in vain?”

Liu Jiayi kicked Mu Sicheng and raised her chin to signal him to take a look at the winning rate on the PPT.

Mu Sicheng was speechless again, but he still felt something was wrong: “Even if Russell can win, can these people ensure that the guild leader can fulfill his promise?”

Liu Jiayi couldn’t help but show a “you are such a fool” expression to Mu Sicheng again: “Do you know what the slogan of Russell Cemetery is?”

Mu Sicheng looked at Liu Jiayi: “What is it?”

Liu Jiayi said: “May we die in hope.”

“These new players who chose to join Russell Cemetery were the ones left behind by the big guilds. They had high hopes for their skills at the beginning and thought they could survive by relying on their skills. But later on, they found that their skills were not worth mentioning at all and no one cared about them. Their self-value system collapsed.”

Liu Jiayi paused for a moment and continued, “In the later stages, these newcomers no longer believed they could survive in the game on their own. They lived in fear, thinking they would die sooner or later. Rather than being tortured to death in a horror game, they would rather choose a way to die with hope.”

“In fact, many people don’t expect the president of Russell Cemetery to fulfill his promise. They just want to die in peace.”

Wang Shun, who was standing by, sighed as he listened: “God Mu, you and Bai Liu may not pay much attention to this kind of guild, because you are both high-level skilled players, and this kind of guild is the last resort for low-level skilled players.”

“I always find it amazing that such a guild formed by low-skilled players can actually have such great destructive power in the end.” Liu Jiayi recalled, “Although Hearts won last year, it was not a smooth game.”

Bai Liu turned his head to look at Liu Jiayi: “How did Hearts win Russell Cemetery last year?”

Liu Jiayi thought for a moment and replied, “The people in Russell Cemetery have no way to deal with Hearts. Her skills involve appearance change and charm. It is difficult to find a player who can resist her skills.”

“But the rest of the team was in a tight spot.”

“Hearts fought a war of attrition, slowly grinding away, and fighting very hard, but the opponent was a newcomer and his board was not as good as Hearts’, so in the end he still won.”

Bai Liu turned to look at Wang Shun: “How did the Reverse God beat this team last year?”

Wang Shun and Liu Jiayi fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Wang Shun said, “I didn’t see it clearly.”

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows: “Didn’t you see clearly?”

“One minute after the game started,” Wang Shun said with a wry smile, “The tactician from Russell Cemetery surrendered to the Reverse God.”
