Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God

After saying goodbye to Li Hua, Lin Yu contacted High Mountain.

"Captain Gao, I'm in Zheng City right now. Are you free to grab a meal together tonight?"

Although it was a workday, Captain High Mountain still replied quickly.

"Oh? You actually came to Zheng City! Then I must treat you to a proper meal!"

High Mountain replied enthusiastically. Even through text, Lin Yu could feel the other party's delight.

This enthusiasm wasn't fake, but utterly genuine.

Because soon, Lin Yu saw High Mountain send over many restaurant pages.

"Take a look at these and see if any catch your eye. These are all places I frequent, and they have very distinctive local Zheng City flavors."

Lin Yu's reply was naturally the classic one...

"I'll leave it to the host. Anything works for me."

High Mountain also gave Lin Yu his answer: "Alright, then I'll pick one. I'll also go call Furbollo."

"He just took on a very important mission, so I'm not sure if he has time..."

Lin Yu looked at High Mountain's message and pursed his lips.

Of course he'd have time.

Sure enough, not long after High Mountain sent that message, Fu Luo's message arrived as well.

"Hey now, you've already come to Zheng City and you didn't say so earlier!"

"Captain Gao was the one who told me!"

"See you tonight, Old Lin!"

Seeing that the evening banquet was settled, Lin Yu once again returned to the hotel.

After using the Heart-Mind Teleportation Gun to put on Old Yao's face and return to Jiangcheng once more, Lin Yu hurried to buy some fruit and headed straight to the abandoned restaurant, paying a visit to Tycoon.

"Boss!"

Carrying the fruit basket, Lin Yu still put on a slightly weak appearance as he pushed open the door to Tycoon's office.

"I heard you ran into trouble in that dungeon too, so I came to see you."

As Lin Yu spoke, Tycoon, who had been lying in his office chair reading, looked at him in surprise: "Old Yao, why are you here!"

Tycoon set down the book in his hand, Interpreting a Different Zhu Yuanzhang: The Hongwu Emperor's Art of Controlling People, and looked in astonishment at Old Yao, who appeared to no longer be in any serious danger. Though still a little weak, he was completely lively and bouncing around: "Truly the world is turned upside down. I haven't even gone to see you yet, and you, who was previously unconscious and nearly dead, actually came carrying a fruit basket to see me!"

Tycoon scolded Lin Yu, yet his tone was full of joy.

"Aren't I fine now?"

Lin Yu also said with a smile.

Tycoon laughed heartily: "True enough. You brat really do recover fast."

"It's all thanks to you, boss, for arriving in time and also giving me such a precious item for a First-Tier," Lin Yu said sheepishly. "The item that saved my life, I'm afraid it's probably worth more than my entire self, right?"

"What kind of crap is that," Tycoon stood up, took the fruit basket from Lin Yu's hands, and patted his chest. "Human life is the most valuable thing. Besides, you're a brother who follows me. Your life is priceless."

Tycoon grabbed a banana from the fruit basket, peeled it, and shoved it into his mouth: "The pill I gave you was meant to save lives to begin with, just like this banana was meant to be eaten. Everything is used for its proper purpose. What's this about worth or not worth!"

Lin Yu was also moved: "No matter what you say, I still owe you a life... And besides, I was worried about you too, boss. I heard from a friend in Order that after I fainted, you all ran into trouble as well. It seems like an expert from Misty Islands made a move..."

"So that's why I hurried over to check on you. It's good that you're fine, boss."

Tycoon said proudly: "What could possibly happen to me? I'm very strong!"

"Actually, the Psychological Society were the unlucky ones... Ha, you have no idea. Not only did I suffer noreal harm, I even took advantage of the chaos to twist off Lacan's head! That was so satisfying!"

"That Misty Islands expert really did have some skills, and on top of that, Order's Rengu disabled the Heart Domain. Only then did I get the chance to act. What a pity I couldn't kill him. An opportunity like that is rare."

Tycoon sighed.

"It's fine, there will always be another chance," Lin Yu comforted. "Besides... it wasn't just Lacan. This time the entire Psychological Society suffered a heavy blow. As expected of a scheme orchestrated by Order. Truly extraordinary!"

Tycoon grinned: "Yeah, those bastards finally got what was coming to them."

"Also, let me tell you some inside information, something that happened after you passed out," Tycoon lowered his voice. "Not only did they fail to obtain the 'inheritance' from this operation, the one who stole those inheritance items was a guy calling himself Schreiber, a self-proclaimed successor of Freud. He even directly recorded a video provoking the Psychological Society."

"Next, we'll probably get to see infighting within the Psychological Society."

Tycoon's smile grew even brighter, his mood extremely pleasant.

Lin Yu nodded: "So that's how it was... Anyway, it's good to see you're fine, boss."

"I won't disturb your rest any longer!"

Tycoon waved his hand: "You're the one who should rest. Look, your lips are still pale. Hurry back and rest. I'll call a car to send you."

"No need for that," Lin Yu waved again. "Boss, I can just walk back myself... You must have spent a lot in this battle too."

Tycoon said helplessly: "No matter how much I spent, how could I be short on this little bit of taxi money for you? Besides, I wasn't going to call a taxi. I was definitely going to have my family's private car send you!"

Lin Yu shook his head again: "Really no need, boss. I can just stroll back myself... I can get some fresh air along the way."

Afterward, Lin Yu didn't give Tycoon any more time tochatter. He directly opened the window, nimbly climbed down along the water pipe, and waved at Tycoon.

Then...

Lin Yu used the anchor point to return to Zheng City and changed back to his original appearance.

Lin Yu went to the bathroom to wash up and change clothes. After coming out, he confirmed whether the serene senior still had vital signs.

He felt her pulse. It was still quite steady.

"A cyber ghost actually has a heartbeat too," Lin Yu murmured. "And... she even needs to sleep?"

Shen Bingmiao slowly opened her eyes: "Of course. After all, if I want to imitate a 'living person,' the best way is to truly craft a human body for myself."

"Although this body is essentially a physical entity simulated from 'data,' as long as I don't digitize it, this body is genuine, unquestionably human flesh. After all, I used to be human too, and using my own body is still the most comfortable."

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised: "You weren't asleep?"

"If someone touches the artery in your neck while you're sleeping, you'd wake up too. Although I'm no longer a Player... I still have this much vigilance," Shen Bingmiao sighed. "Also, you brat, how did you agree in my name to treat everyone to a meal! I looked at the group chat and everyone's shouting at me asking where we're meeting!"

"Because today's performance was quite a success," Lin Yu said with a smile. "So I'll have to trouble you to foot the bill."

"I really can't stand you."

Shen Bingmiao helplessly sat up from the bed.

"You like lively gatherings anyway... Besides, by not going myself, I'm also saving you some money," Lin Yu said with a smile. With his current appetite, his absence really would save Shen Bingmiao quite a bit. "I'm going to have a meal with Order's Captain High Mountain and that Furbollo guy."
