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

Chapter 711: Argument in the Settlement Space

[Congratulations on passing the game "Escort the Darts"!][We are now settling your rewards for this game!]

[You have received the basic reward: 7 days of survival time.]

The Blood Text appeared and then faded. Lin Yu opened his eyes again and found himself back in the familiar Settlement Space.

But this time, Lin Yu had no leisure time to carefully examine his rewards.

Because…

"Zhu Ming, I've got my eye on you—once I get out, I'm heading straight to Jiangcheng to cut you down!"

"Psychological Society, Clozapine, right?—I'll show you what the Night Watchmen can do!"

Over there, Snowy Owl, with her dyed white streaks, flew into a rage the moment she entered the space.

Lin Yu touched his face.

Before entering the Settlement Space, he had used the last moment to refresh the False Face's cooldown with the pocket watch, swapping the Grandmaster's face back to Xia Yue's.

Although this meant that the Repaired Fog Pocket Watch, which he had secretly used to absorb the souls of Willow Town's residents to feed it, now urgently needed new soul sacrifices again, it was still worth it.

But since it had been rushed, Lin Yu's current face was essentially no different from Xia Yue's, lacking the fine-tuning adjustments.

Judging by Snowy Owl's attitude, she didn't seem to have noticed anything off.

And it wasn't just Snowy Owl…

High Mountain and Seagull also looked at Lin Yu with wary expressions.

Lin Yu looked back at them and said with an innocent tone, "Hey… isn't this a bit unfair?!"

"The Master Thief saved you guys, and you chose to ignore her Free Alliance identity and get along with her just fine… I saved you too, you know. Isn't it my credit that everyone in this Competition dungeon cleared it without a single death?"

As Lin Yu spoke, High Mountain said in a deep voice.

"But this dungeon wasn't supposed to be this difficult… All that extra difficulty came from you Psychological Society people meddling, didn't it?"

"Besides, although the Master Thief is infamous on the forum and a Free Alliance member, she has never killed an innocent person."

High Mountain said, and Lin Yu spread his hands.

"Neither have I."

"You're an executive specialist of the Psychological Society. Don't tell me you've never killed innocents—don't joke around," Seagull also looked at Lin Yu and barked, "Don't think we don't know what a 'drug name' code name means!"

"Besides, just from your attitude toward that demon, it's clear you're an extremely dangerous guy who doesn't care at all about the safety of the real world."

High Mountain nodded as well. "That's right. Even if you weren't a Psychological Society member, just the fact that you brought this Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord out of the Prison Mountain Realm makes you dangerous enough… Once we get out, I will definitely deal with this matter."

Lin Yu crossed his arms over his chest. "I summoned her myself—I'll be the one to control her."

But obviously, High Mountain didn't believe him.

"Save that for when we meet again next time."

He said, then turned to Flying Knife.

"As for you…"

"I don't know anything," Flying Knife raised his hands, his face twisted in misery. "I don't even know how we cleared it!"

"Didn't you know they were from the Free Alliance and the Psychological Society?"

Seagull shot back.

Flying Knife was almost in tears. "I definitely only found out after entering the dungeon—who in their right mind would deliberately look for a Psychological Society member to help them clear a dungeon? Am I crazy?"

Flying Knife's words were heartfelt and genuine, and they did manage to convince Seagull, Snowy Owl, and High Mountain.

"This guy really should be in the dark."

High Mountain, as an experienced frontline operative, made the judgment.

Lin Yu looked at Flying Knife with a smile. "But you still need to pay up, you know. Those three over there are all good people, reasonable people—Order and the Night Watchmen won't give you trouble. But if you short me what I'm owed, you'll have to deal with the consequences yourself."

Flying Knife nodded shakily. Snowy Owl was furious.

"Threatening another player right in front of me? Lawless—I'll just have to come to Jiangcheng to settle with you!"

Lin Yu turned to Snowy Owl, a gentle smile spreading across his face.

"Sure, no problem at all. I'll be waiting for you in Jiangcheng."

Li Nian's voice rang out.

"Oh, why are you all just picking on Sister Zhu Ming? Am I really that unimportant?"

Snowy Owl turned to look at Li Nian. "So you really did know this Psychological Society guy all along!"

Li Nian stuck out her tongue. "What else did you think?"

Snowy Owl stared at Li Nian. "I advise you to stay away from this Psychological Society lunatic. They don't care whether you've been removed from the forum either… You treat them as friends, and the way they treat friends might just be stabbing you in the back in some dungeon, calling it 'accelerating your growth' or giving you a 'trial'!"

Snowy Owl said coldly.

Li Nian didn't bother responding to Snowy Owl. Instead, she looked at Seagull and High Mountain. "Hey, did she get hurt by a Psychological Society person or something? Why is she so bitter?"

High Mountain didn't answer Li Nian's clearly more sarcastic and provocative remark. Instead, he said in a low voice, "Master Thief, I owe you a favor, that's true. But if you really stand on the wrong side of right and wrong, I won't hold back!"

Li Nian burst out laughing. "No problem, no problem. When you guys come to Jiangcheng, don't worry about any favors between us—because we're already even!"

"All three of you!"

Hearing Li Nian's words, the three frowned, not understanding what was going on.

But the next second, they realized.

In Li Nian's hand, three items had appeared.

A long sword in its scabbard, a wooden totem carving of an eagle-bodied tiger-headed beast, and a metal horn rusted and mottled.

"My Mountain-forge weapon!"

"Oh damn, you can't take that—that was given to me by my master!"

"When did you do it? Give it back!"

The three immediately forgot about Lin Yu, the Psychological Society guy, and all stared at Li Nian, their voices filled with fury.

Li Nian burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha—that's what you get for looking down on people! Now you know my power?"

"Sister Zhu Ming, same place as usual when we get back. Let's split the loot—before these guys come to Jiangcheng, we'll have already absorbed all these goodies."

Li Nian said cheerfully, and Lin Yu nodded.

"Got it."

Then…

The Settlement Space dissipated.

Lin Yu returned to reality once again.

And now, he finally had the chance to examine the rewards from this dungeon.

But…

Compared to the item rewards he had obtained in the Settlement Space, Lin Yu was always most concerned about the most needed reward he had painstakingly acquired.

A girl dressed in plain clothes, like a puppet, appeared before him.

"Zhu Qiansi—we've arrived."

"This is the world you've always wanted to come to… my world."

Zhu Qiansi's pitch-black eyes looked at Lin Yu, and she nodded slightly.

"Thank you, respected… Director."
