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

Chapter 734: Order’s Arrangement

Lin Yu quickly agreed to the Free Alliance’s request. After all, he was already planning to thoroughly resolve the problem with “Zhu Qiansi.” Although he wasn’t particularly worried about Order targeting the “Zhu Ming” identity, having a major organization constantly breathing down his neck wasn’t exactly ideal either. Besides, he’d even made a profit now.

Flipping the 【Void Bottle】 in his hand, Lin Yu felt that even if this whole matter had nothing to do with him, he’d still be willing to act as a mercenary or enforcer just for this item.

【Void Bottle: Completely absorbs any form of ‘energy’ stored within the bottle, and can release it as-is under any circumstances. After release, there is a 72-hour cooldown period.】

In someone else’s hands, this reward was just a perfect “defensive absorption and counter” for intangible skills. But in Lin Yu’s hands…

He could already imagine at least ten ways to combine it with his Fraudster ability just off the top of his head.

Of course…

Although Lin Yu was already quite satisfied with this compensation, or “reimbursement,” as he called it, and he was certain he wouldn’t lose “Zhu Qiansi,” he still raised a key requirement.

“If possible, I want to choose my opponent. Order will send out two Second Tier players, and when that happens, I’ll pick who I want to fight first.”

After the Comedian expressed no objection, Lin Yu didn’t linger long at Li Nian’s place before leaving. After all, he’d taken leave under the excuse of “going home to pack things,” and he still had a meeting at Order.

Arriving at Order’s Jiangcheng headquarters, he pushed open the meeting room door.

But this time, the assembled crowd wasn’t the Jiangcheng team members; instead, they were experts who clearly weren’t ordinary members.

There were six in total.

Aside from Li Hua, Good Night, and Paper Kite, there was another person Lin Yu had met before—Nicholas, the Central China Region Inspector, dressed in red robes with a white beard, looking kind and chubby with a jovial demeanor.

The other two were a young kid fiddling with his phone, and a mature man with a high nose bridge, wearing a white lab coat and faint dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing Lin Yu arrive, Li Hua nodded.

“All taken care of?”

“No problem, Team Leader,” Lin Yu said, nodding as he pulled out a chair and sat down. “What do you have in store?”

Li Hua didn’t waste words and cut straight to the point. “Three days from now, there’s the betting match. Two Second Tier fights and three Third Tier fights. You’ll represent Order in one of them. Any issues?”

“I’ve already consulted with higher-ups, and headquarters has given the go-ahead. The God of Judgement will ensure no one dies in this duel. However, your rapidly advancing strength and your Class abilities might be exposed to the Free Alliance—or even the other two organizations—and draw their attention again.”

“If you’re willing to fight, win or lose, I’ll apply to Comrade General for a training opportunity that will greatly benefit you.”

As Li Hua spoke, Lin Yu nodded.

“Of course. I’ll do my best to win.”

Li Hua nodded. “Good. It’d be best if you can win, and I believe you have the strength to do so.”

“Our core objective is to win back 【Siren’s Blessing】. As long as we get that back, even if we lose 【Naga’s Guidance】, it’s acceptable.”

“Although comparatively, 【Naga’s Guidance】 is more valuable than 【Siren’s Blessing】, our ultimate goal is to prevent the Free Alliance from collecting all of Pure Abyss’s ‘Nine Great Treasures.’ A one-for-one trade is acceptable.”

“Secondly, there’s that demon… we need to win that demon back as well.”

Li Hua continued, “So, I’ll bet heavily on the two Second Tier matches. A-Yin and May May—under the given conditions, your chances of winning are high.”

The younger-looking man nodded. “Alright, got it. As long as it’s limited to Second Tier, I won’t lose.”

Hearing this, Lin Yu understood a bit.

This young guy was A-Yin.

“The Free Alliance members are mostly unpredictable, and since they’re few in number and rarely interact with others, their abilities aren’t clear. Right now, for the Third Tier matches, the only one I can confirm is Prisoner.”

“That guy’s ability system is purely based on enhancing physical strength, and his fighting style is close-quarters combat and martial arts. His main dungeon world is the Black Marsh world. I’m planning to send Comrade Nicholas to face him.”

The plump Nicholas let out a “ho ho” laugh.

“Ho ho ho, I’ve heard about Prisoner for a long time. I’ll definitely give that unruly young man a good test and make him see the light…”

“Good children get gifts, bad children get lumps of coal, ho ho ho!”

Li Hua nodded. “Anyway, for the remaining two, the choices should be Night Watchmen’s Snowy Owl and Robin.”

Lin Yu looked at Li Hua in surprise. “Comrade Li Hua, aren’t you going to fight?”

“The Free Alliance is basically familiar with my abilities, and if my opponent is a stranger, with the enemy hidden and me exposed, it would put me at a disadvantage,” Li Hua said, pushing up his tortoiseshell-frame glasses. “On the other hand, Snowy Owl is very eager to fight… so it’s better to let Night Watchmen’s own people win back the two items they lost.”

“Besides, the Free Alliance might guess about Snowy Owl, but they definitely won’t expect Robin. So the opponent they send might be countered by Robin.”

Li Hua finished explaining, and Lin Yu nodded.

“I understand. But, Team Leader, I have some intel to add.”

“During my scuffle with the Master Thief, I subdued her, and to get me to stop beating her, she gave me some information about the Free Alliance.”

“First, the Free Alliance has two Second Tier players. Aside from her, the other one is called the Designer, and his Class is also Designer. His core ability is probably projecting and creating things from thin air. He’s decent at both close and long-range combat, very well-rounded.”

Li Hua nodded slightly. “So the other one is the Master Thief?”

“Right, but I don’t think the Master Thief will fight this time, because the Psychological Society member she teamed up with in the Prison Mountain Realm for that mission… she’ll probably take the field herself.”

“Her Class is Veterinarian, and her code name in the Psychological Society is Clozapine. The demon she subdued in the Prison Mountain Realm this time is called the ‘Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord,’ and it seems to have some connection with our Comrade Grandmaster.”

“But… it seems the ‘Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord’ wasn’t taken away through normal means. Its cultivation was mostly crippled, leaving only its innate ability.”

While Lin Yu was speaking, Li Hua pulled out paper and a pen, jotting down the intelligence.

“I see. Very valuable intel, Comrade May May.”

Pausing there, he added, “Though, this part of the intel probably wasn’t all from the Master Thief, was it?”
