Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

When Shen Yu arrived at the inn, he found it bustling with activity.

Several tables had been joined together to form one large table, and Xu Tong was sitting in the middle, his face dark, watching a group of people busily shouting.

"Damn it, waiter, can you hurry up with the good wine and food? If you delay my Brother Xu and he gets hungry, I'll make the whole inn pay the price!"

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, we'll immediately bring out the best food and wine, and ensure Young Master Xu is comfortable."

"Damn it, your efficiency is so low. If I were here receiving your service, I would have overturned your stall long ago!"

As he spoke, Hua Rufeng knelt at Xu Tong's feet, massaging his legs, and asked, "Brother Xu, how's the pressure? Is it suitable?"

Xu Tong: "…"

Bai Xia raised her hand, "Boss! Another five plates of appetizers, Hua Rufeng is paying!"

"Okay!"

The surrounding onlookers were chattering, discussing this unprecedented event.

To have a master ranked second on the Earth Ranking willingly kneel before him and massage his legs was simply unbelievable; they had never encountered such a situation before.

Witnessing the hellish scene before him, Shen Yu really didn't understand what heaven-defying thing Xu Tong had done this time. In any case, he walked to the table and asked, "What's going on here?"

Hua Rufeng, seeing him, abruptly stood up, "What do you mean? How dare you speak to my Brother Xu like that? Who the hell are you!"

Xu Tong raised his hand, "He's my friend…"

Thump!

Hua Rufeng knelt directly in front of Shen Yu, "I'm sorry! I was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, sir!"

Xu Tong: "…"

Bai Xia: "Hahahaha!"

Shen Yu also had a dark expression, and asked, "What exactly is going on? What kind of bewitching potion did you give them?"

Xu Tong briefly explained what had happened, and Shen Yu finally understood what was going on.

"If that's the case, then it's not hard to understand," Shen Yu knew Xu Tong's strength. Since he couldn't beat him, then this Hua Rufeng certainly had no means of resistance either. "I didn't expect this instance to be your comfort zone."

Xu Tong awkwardly changed the subject, "How's your side? Did you get the qualification to participate in the Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament?"

Shen Yu shook the Imperial City emblem in his hand, the same one Xu Tong had obtained from the official, "Easy peasy, no difficulty at all."

Xu Tong: "What about that Iron Fan Scholar?"

Shen Yu: "Knocked him down with one shot, I didn't even have time to react."

Now that Shen Yu had obtained the qualification, they had to start considering how to get to the Imperial City.

Although he hadn't initially planned to team up with Shen Yu midway, it was best to find someone to team up with, especially since he didn't know his main and side quests.

"By the way," Xu Tong suddenly remembered and asked Shen Yu, "What's your main instance quest?"

Shen Yu was also dumbfounded. Did he really need to ask that?

"My main quest is definitely to win the Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament, what else could it be? Didn't the instance description make it clear?"

Before Xu Tong could reply, the text in his vision changed.

«Side Quest Updated: Win the Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament»

Xu Tong: ?

Dude, seriously?

Is there a mistake?

His main quest is to win the Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament, but for me, it's become a side quest?

Isn't that a little too strange?

He looked at Bai Xia beside him, who just shrugged, indicating that she knew nothing about these things.

"Okay, I understand." Now that he knew the side quest, he would complete the quest he already knew about first.

Xu Tong called Hua Rufeng over and asked, "How do we get to the Imperial City?"

Hearing this question, Hua Rufeng was stunned for a moment, "You guys don't know how to get to the Imperial City?"

Xu Tong: "If I knew, would I need to ask you?"

After a moment of silence, Hua Rufeng thought that made sense.

"The Imperial City isn't far from here," Hua Rufeng said, "Just keep heading in the direction of Golden Ding, and you'll see the Imperial City.

"Getting into Golden Ding is easy, but the key is that if you want to enter the Imperial City, you need a pass."

At this point, Hua Rufeng suddenly paused, then added, "To be honest, this year's Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament has been considered very strange in the martial arts world."

Xu Tong raised an eyebrow, "What's strange about it?"

Hua Rufeng explained, "In recent years, Emperor Jianshi has indeed favored martial arts and disliked literature, but it hasn't reached the point where he would widely recruit heroes from all over the world to go to the Imperial City to compete and determine the overlord of the martial arts world.

"In addition, with the gradual expansion of the West Factory's power in recent years, it is said that many martial arts masters on the Heavenly Ranking have been drawn into it, so we feel... this is more like a conspiracy."

Xu Tong and Shen Yu's expressions were solemn as they looked at each other.

Then.

"Pfft…"

Xu Tong: "How could someone be named that…"

Shen Yu: "Emperor Jianshi, 'jian shi di' (shallow knowledge), I couldn't hold it in, who came up with the name."

Bai Xia: "…Can you two be serious? We're having a meeting here, show some respect!"

Xu Tong: "Chew the meat in your mouth and swallow it before you speak."

Seeing the relaxed atmosphere of the group, Hua Rufeng continued, "Since you all seem so relaxed, that's the best thing. However, I suggest... when you get to the Imperial City, you should be more careful, because besides the West Factory, there are also the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the Imperial City, and many masters on the Heavenly Ranking are also inside, who might do something in advance."

This was indeed a bit curious. For no reason, the current emperor began to hold a martial arts competition, and also widely recruited heroes from all over the world. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but the more they looked at it, the more they felt something was wrong.

However, these were things that only the NPCs in this instance background would consider. For players like Xu Tong, participating in the Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament was itself part of the mission, at most they would just be more careful.

"Moreover, I heard that…" Hua Rufeng suddenly added, "It seems that the Supervisor of the West Factory is an extremely powerful martial artist, who has been living in anonymity in recent years, and has only recently emerged in the palace.

"How powerful is this person's martial arts? It is said that he was even able to fight against the first and second ranked on the Heavenly Ranking at the same time without losing ground. If this person had not fallen into a mountain stream and disappeared early in his life, it is estimated that he would have taken the first place on the Heavenly Ranking long ago!"

There's another master?

"But I believe that with Brother Xu's ability, there will definitely be no problems," Hua Rufeng patted his chest and said, "I, Hua Rufeng, have already appraised you, your strength is definitely not a problem, at least showing your skills in the Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament is not difficult at all.

"The only thing is, maybe don't provoke this Supervisor of the West Factory."

Xu Tong stroked his chin.

Could this person have something to do with his main quest?
