Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"This is a city on the verge of destruction."

"A mysterious power has fallen upon a corner of this city, leading to all of this."

"Madness and chaos are the city's main themes. Dangerous, twisted monsters inhabit this desolate city, and darkness is their preferred domain."

"The agents of those beings wander through the city, destroying everything they see. You have no ability to resist."

"The only solution is to shut the door located in the middle of the city."

"But perhaps, you need to escape from your current predicament first."

Vision returned, and Xu Tong opened his eyes, hearing faint rumbles in his ears.

"Next stop %*……#￥, passengers please %……\u0026￥"

Garbled announcements echoed in the cramped space. The scenery outside the window moved quickly, leaving no afterimage.

Xu Tong was in a subway car. The subway sped past the station, showing no signs of stopping.

Gu Mian and the young couple were also in the car. Besides the four of them, the subway car was empty; there wasn't a single other person.

"We've entered the instance, right?" Xiao Feng's voice was tinged with fear. She and her boyfriend had challenged a hard-difficulty instance once before, failing within five minutes with no progress—a truly disastrous start.

So, entering a hard instance again, the young couple felt immense pressure.

Naturally, they focused their attention on Gu Mian, the expert. Her level thirteen status inspired a sense of security.

"We've successfully entered the instance," Gu Mian said, her expression slightly grave. "But from the looks of it, this instance seems quite difficult."

Hearing the expert use the word 'difficult,' Xia Tenghai's face changed slightly. "No way,大佬, don't give up! You're the highest level person in our team. If you say it's difficult, what are we supposed to do?"

"This is the first time I've heard the terms 'those beings' and 'agents' in an instance description. For some reason, they give me a very uneasy feeling," Gu Mian analyzed. "In my opinion, the so-called agents in this instance are probably like BOSSes. It's best to avoid them."

Gu Mian looked at Xu Tong, who hadn't said a word. "What do you think? Everyone's opinion is important in a hard instance. I want to know what you think."

Xu Tong really didn't know how to answer that question.

Speaking of agents, Xu Tong remembered that in his special buffs, there was a string called 'Gaze of the Agent,' which made all the agents in the instance friendly towards him. If that referred to the agents mentioned in the instance description, it would actually be an opportunity for Xu Tong.

"I think the key to this problem lies in how to handle the key problem," Xu Tong directly chose to change the subject. "So, how should we handle this problem? I think we should first find the key to the problem..."

Gu Mian quickly raised her hand to interrupt him. "Okay, okay, I get your point. You can rest for now."

「Main Quest Triggered: Stop the subway before it reaches the final station」

As soon as she finished speaking, the message about the triggered main quest appeared in everyone's vision.

Gu Mian frowned. "Did you see that? The triggered main quest?"

Xia Tenghai and Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly.

Only Xu Tong frowned.

Because he was different.

In his field of vision, not only did the main quest appear, but another thing suddenly popped up.

「Side Quest Triggered: Find the Mysterious Power」

Why is this side quest only triggered for me?

Xu Tong was suddenly stunned.

"Could this be related to my 'Gaze of the Agent' buff?"

"It seems we need to figure out a way to stop this subway first," Gu Mian looked towards the front of the subway. "If this subway keeps going without being manually stopped, then we're all going to die at the final station today."

Xiao Feng's face was pale. "Does anyone know how to drive a subway?"

"It doesn't matter. Let's get into the subway's driver's cab first."

The four of them made their way to the very front of the subway, but a closed iron door blocked their path, and brute force couldn't open it.

"I can solve this. I have a skill I can use," Gu Mian said, reaching out and touching the iron door. A hole large enough for a person to pass through immediately appeared in the entire wall. "Now we can go through."

Xia Tenghai and Xiao Feng quickly gave her a thumbs up. "大佬 is indeed 大佬. You even have such a powerful functional skill. Unlike us, we're already level seven, and we only have two skills combined."

Isn't that just one skill each?

Passing through the hole, the four of them squeezed into the narrow driver's cab, looking at the precise instruments in front of them, at a loss.

The content written on them was all in English, and some of it was professional jargon. None of the four of them could understand it, let alone stop the subway in front of them.

"Um... does anyone know how to drive a subway?" Xiao Feng blinked, looking up slightly at Gu Mian, seemingly trying to see a glimmer of hope in the actions of this expert.

But Gu Mian really didn't know how to drive this thing.

Unless you're a professional subway worker, does anyone really know how to drive a subway? Like holding a driver's license?

"This thing is too sophisticated and advanced. It's estimated that it will be difficult for us to crack with our abilities."

Xu Tong also sighed. "It seems we're stuck at the first step..."

Before he could finish speaking, his hands actually started moving on their own.

【Your brain believes it is the most sophisticated existence in the world and feels disdain for the mere subway control panel, permanently awakening 'Subway Operation Guide'】

【Your hands are angry at your lack of ambition and decide to do it themselves, awakening 'Mechanized Operation' for 30 minutes. In this state, all your operations will be as precise as a machine】

Hey, no.

You guys are making me look useless!

The three people next to him watched Xu Tong walk up and start operating the machine in front of him, their eyes widening immediately.

Xia Tenghai said in surprise: "No way, bro, you can drive this? Didn't see that."

Xu Tong was speechless. He really didn't know how to drive a subway, but who told his brain that he can?

Brain: I learned it.

Hands: I learned it too.

Xu Tong: What's going on? Why can't I do anything!

Gu Mian looked at his precise and accurate operations, as if he were a machine, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise. "It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. So it turns out the talent was right next to me. You should have said you knew earlier, and I wouldn't have been so nervous."

Xu Tong: My conscience hurts so much...
