The Game Wants Obedience, I Choose Manipulation

Gao Yan, a man of quiet routine, is violently pulled into the \"Game of the Gods\" by an ominous, eight-armed statue. The first rule is absolute: Obey, or be minced alive. As other players fall to gruesome deaths, fear turns to gruesome reality. But Gao Yan isn't like the rest. Armed with an analytical mind and an unnerving calm, he quickly deciphers the 'gods'' cruel charade. Obedience is a death sentence; the true path to survival lies in twisting their demands, exploiting every twisted rule, and manipulating the 'game' itself. With his peculiar tenant clinging to his side and an unlikely Taoist ally, Gao Yan dives deeper into the decrepit \"coffin building's\" secrets. But as whispers of ancient human sacrifices and a \"main god-level player\" emerge, he realizes he's not just playing a game—he's trapped in an eons-old battle against an unseen, malevolent force.
