361: Chapter 361 Honey Trap? I downloaded an anti-fraud app!

On the obsidian platform, waves of heat continued to roll.

Chen You stood in place, holding the red glass plate in one hand, his brow furrowed into a knot.

He stared at the heart-fingers emoji on the screen, which was frantically wiggling its butt, and fell into deep thought.

A hundred meters behind him, the fifteen surviving players were like fifteen ice sculptures, not daring to move an inch.

The Berserker swallowed hard, his gaze darting back and forth between Chen You's back and the five brilliant light orbs where Ragnar had fallen.

"Brother..." the Thief whispered in a breathy voice, "God You seems to be spacing out. That gear..."

"Shut up!" The Berserker glared at him fiercely, replying in a similar whisper.

"Are you looking for death? That's a mythological-grade lord's drop! If God You hasn't spoken, who dares to move?"

The priestess clasped her hands together and muttered softly.

"God You must be sensing the laws of heaven and earth. That sword strike just now was too profound; he must have entered a state of sudden enlightenment."

"We absolutely cannot disturb him!"

Everyone deeply agreed.

After all, how could a ruthless man who could insta-kill a mythological-grade boss with tens of millions of health points be slacking off at a time like this?

But the temptation of the gear was simply too great.

Those were five mythological-grade loot light orbs, emitting an alluring rainbow glow, like five peerless beauties beckoning after stripping off their clothes.

The Berserker stared at the light orbs, his eyes nearly bloodshot from the intensity.

He gritted his teeth and gestured for the others to gather around.

He said in the lowest possible volume, "Brothers, God You doesn't care for this junk, but it's too important for us."

"Everyone, follow my command. Line up and step forward. Only loot the remains, don't speak!"

"Roll for items quietly! If anyone dares to make even the slightest sound and disturbs God You's enlightenment, I'll hunt them to the ends of the earth once we're out!"

Everyone nodded in succession.

Thus, an extremely bizarre scene appeared on the obsidian platform.

Fifteen fully armed high-level players, like thieves, tiptoed and hunched over, forming a single file line as they cautiously shuffled toward Ragnar's remains.

The Berserker walked at the front. As soon as his hand touched the first light orb, system notifications flooded the team channel.

[Team Notification: Obtained Epic-grade weapon 'Flame Demon's Wrath'!]

The Berserker trembled all over, his face instantly turning the color of pig liver.

He covered his mouth tightly, tears nearly spurting out, as he forced himself to swallow the word "Holy sh*t."

The Thief behind him was quick-witted and immediately began to roll.

For a moment, icons of rolling dice flooded the team channel, but in reality, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Meanwhile, Chen You, who was revered as a god by everyone, was tapping words onto the glass plate with a face full of dark lines.

[Chen You: Speak like a human, or I'll throw you into the lava.]

The other side replied instantly, including a "pouty" emoji.

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Oh, don't be so mean.]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: I really came here because of your reputation! Those three sword strikes you used on that big dummy were devastatingly handsome! That sword intent, that footwork, those cold eyes—my heart is melting~]

Chen You's eyelid twitched.

[Chen You: You saw it?]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Of course! This young lady is omniscient and omnipotent! How could a mere low-dimensional dungeon block my sight?]

Chen You narrowed his eyes.

This tone, this vocabulary—it didn't look like a native NPC of the Source Realm at all.

It seemed more like an internet-addicted girl.

[Chen You: Are you a GM of the Source Realm? Or some god's projection?]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Gods? That kind of data trash running on preset programs is worthy of being compared to this young lady?]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Let me introduce myself formally. I am a Super Observer wandering the multiverse, a senior partner of the Interstellar Consortium. You can call me—the Number One Beautiful Girl Under the Starry Sky!]

Chen You looked at this string of prefixes that reeked of chuunibyou and typed expressionlessly.

[Chen You: Oh, an international scalper.]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: ...]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: [TableFlip.gif]]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Do you even understand the worth of a high-dimensional being! Believe it or not, I'll crawl through the network cable and hit you!]

Chen You sneered.

[Chen You: Then come over here.]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: ...]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Ahem, this young lady is busy with a myriad of affairs, so I won't argue with you today. Let's get to business: I've taken a liking to you.]

Chen You's heart tightened.

A standard "pig-butchering" scam routine.

First, package yourself with beauty and mystery, then build rapport, and finally start selling tea or inducing investment.

But who was Chen You?

A man backed by the Huaxia state machine, with dozens of expert teams at the Qinling Base on 24-hour standby, and the National Anti-Fraud App installed on his phone!

Want to play mind games with me? Go talk to the expert teams!

Chen You put away the red glass plate and scanned his surroundings.

On the obsidian platform behind him, the fifteen surviving players were in a single file line, hunched over, frantically rolling for items around the five mythological-grade drop orbs.

The Berserker, clutching a battle-axe emitting red light, knelt on both knees and kowtowed three times toward Chen You's back.

Chen You ignored them.

He opened the system panel, chose to leave the team, and then entered the guild territory.

A white light flashed.

Chen You appeared directly in the central plaza of the White Jade Capital guild territory.

He waved at the drone performing real-time monitoring in the air.

"Director Li, call a meeting. Better call the comrades from the Anti-Fraud Center too."

...

Ten minutes later, in the guild hall.

A group of experts was gathered around a long table.

Chen You brought out the red glass plate and then projected it onto the large screen via the camera.

The entire room fell silent.

On the screen, the ID named "Invincible Beautiful Girl" was frantically flooding the chat.

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Where are you? Why are you ignoring me?]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Could you be taking a shower? Don't you take your phone with you to the shower?]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Brother, your abs are so hard. When you were tanking Ragnar's hammer just now, I took a screenshot! [Heart-Eyes][Heart-Eyes]]

Director Li Guoan's mouth twitched a few times.

Sun Feng pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his hands flying across the keyboard.

A few seconds later, he looked up and said in a heavy tone, "Reporting to Director Li. No abnormal energy fluctuations detected, and no communication signals found."

Professor Pan Yu stood up and walked to the large screen.

"When dealing with such high-intelligence, high-dimensional unknown entities, we must employ negotiation techniques like 'Vulnerability Guidance' and 'Value Stripping'."

"Through seemingly casual small talk, we need to extract their civilization's coordinates, technological level, and the true purpose of contacting us."

Chen You nodded. "Professor Pan, you speak, I'll type."

Pan Yu stared at the pink bubbles on the screen and said in a deep voice, "Reply: Just finished wrapping up a dungeon. Do you know much about the Source Realm's data structure?"

Chen You did as told, tapping the screen to send.

The other side replied almost instantly.

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Oh, what's there to know about a sandbox game like the Source Realm?]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Forget about it! Brother, what color sack do you like? I'll send a starship over to kidnap you right now!]

Pan Yu's brow furrowed as she turned to Director Li Guoan. "Director Li, she's evading core questions and using exaggerated language as a psychological defense."

She turned back. "Reply to her: Starship? Has your consortium's Warp Technology matured enough for precision teleportation?"

Chen You sent it.

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: Why are you asking this? Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I'll teach you!]

[Invincible Beautiful Girl: As long as you sign the marriage agreement, the entire Interstellar Consortium's Warp Technology library will be given to you as a dowry! [Shy]]

In the meeting room, a group of top scientists looked at each other in bewilderment.

The materials expert, Academician Qian Zhonghua, suddenly stood up and slammed his hands on the table in excitement.

"Agree to it! Chen You, hurry up and agree! With Warp Technology, our Huaxia space program can skip a thousand years of detours!"

"Old Qian, calm down." Director Li Guoan pushed Qian Zhonghua back into his seat. "How could a high-dimensional being hand over core technology so recklessly?"

Pan Yu took a deep breath and adjusted her strategy. "The opponent's disguise is extremely perfect. She's trying to use a 'love-struck' persona to lower our guard."

"We need to be direct and test her bottom line."

"Reply: Marriage is fine, but I don't accept long-distance relationships. Can you come over?"
