Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1612 Yin Lan's Amazing Brain Circuit

"Fishing Guy" Chen Le, "God of Wine" Yin Lan.

These are the two strongest Tier 3 players among the current player group.

At the same time, the two individuals, belonging to the two different organizations, "Order" and "Freedom Alliance," naturally have opposing stances.

The two had never met formally before; at most, they had only exchanged a fleeting glance from afar.

In the imagination of many "players", once two people meet, they should inevitably fight fiercely.

It's like the difference between a "diviner" and a "master," or between "Freud" and "the serpent."

but……

Now, Chen Le and Yin Lan are standing face to face, but neither of them has made a move.

On the contrary, they were like two old friends, standing at the table enjoying food and wine, chatting leisurely.

“This wine is really good,” Chen Le praised the wine Yin Lan handed him, “It’s better than any wine I’ve ever had in the real world.”

Yin Lan swirled her wine glass and casually said, "After all, he is a god who holds the power over 'fine wine.' How could the wine served at a banquet hosted by His chosen ones be of poor quality?"

"However... let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not asking this to look down on you—it's just that, what's the best wine you've ever had?"

Chen Le thought for a moment and then said, "Let's venture out into the world."

Yin Lan was taken aback for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "But you hardly drink at all!"

“Drinking is such a hassle,” Chen Leping said calmly. “I already have trouble sleeping, and drinking makes me wake up easily.”

Yin Lan thought for a moment and offered a different perspective: "Then you still haven't drunk enough. Drinking too much makes it easier to fall into a deep sleep."

"But it wasn't a very comfortable sleep either. The hangover feeling is even more unpleasant. I still value my sleep quality."

Chen Le paused for a moment as he spoke, "However, I'm actually quite curious. Your code name is 'God of Wine'... Doesn't that violate the taboo of 'the god of banquets, fine wine, and revelry'?"

“There’s no such thing in the Pure Ruins Realm. Gods aren’t as petty as you think,” Yin Lan said, picking up another glass of wine and drinking it all in one gulp. “Besides, I came up with this code name when I first joined the ‘Death Game.’ At that time, I had no idea that there was such a god.”

Then, Yin Lan asked another question.

"I also have a question, can you answer it?"

Chen Le nodded: "Of course, go ahead and ask."

“I’m familiar with the chosen ones here because I’m quite skilled in ‘wine tasting,’ so the god of banquets favors me,” Yin Lan said, looking around the banquet hall and glancing at Ka, who was talking to several other octopuses in the distance. “But why are you here…?”

"And it seems that this banquet was even held specifically for you."

As Yin Lan spoke, Chen Le glanced at Lin Yu, who was quietly eating and was presenting himself as 'Zhu Ming'.

Lin Yu swallowed the two pieces of sashimi in his mouth, then pointed to the small pink octopus following Ka.

"Because I know this chosen niece—saying I know her isn't even accurate enough. To be more precise, his niece is currently following me as my [summoned creature], cultivating and moving through the Ten Realms."

Yin Lan raised an eyebrow: "It seems... you're quite good at cooking."

Lin Yu shook his head: "I only know a little about home-style cooking."

"The authority over 'gourmet food' and 'cooking' has never existed before. Do you want to choose this path?"

Yin Lan asked.

Lin Yu did not answer, but Chen Le spoke up with a smile.

"She's only at 'Second Tier'... Isn't it too early to be thinking about these things?"

"Besides... what are you doing, a member of 'Order,' asking about the routes of members of our 'Freedom Alliance'?"

Yin Lan said, "Someone with exceptional talent like her, a 'second-tier', can start thinking about her future path at this time—at least we in 'Order' have a 'second-tier' who has already begun preparations."

Lin Yu looked at Yin Lan, shrugged, and said, "If you want to test whether the 'Director' has leaked his participation in the 'God-Making Project' to me, you don't need to go through such a roundabout way—the movements in the God Realm are so big, I can also learn about these things through the 'Freedom Alliance's' information channels."

Yin Lan looked at Lin Yu, somewhat surprised: "So, the 'director' didn't tell you?"

"No, he told me—he told me before he went."

Lin Yu answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Yin Lan grinned and said, "That's interesting... I like your personality."

Chen Le stood a little closer to Yin Lan and asked in return, "'God of Wine,' what exactly are you trying to express?"

Yin Lan ignored Chen Le, simply turned her body to the side, bypassed Chen Le, and continued to look at Lin Yu.

“Zhu Ming, I know about your relationship with the Director… In fact, your relationship isn’t exactly a secret within the Order, so I’ve seen a lot of your information.”

"You joined the 'Psychological Society,' but it was because you and the 'Director' were both hostile to the 'Psychological Society's' 'Fluoxetine,' and you joined to investigate information about her, right?"

Lin Yu nodded, not denying it: "Yes, I didn't join the 'Psychological Society' because I wanted to join... Of course, besides that reason, there is another reason... It is a prerequisite for joining the 'Freedom Alliance'."

Yin Lan nodded: "I understand... so you did not participate in any activities of the Psychological Society during your time there."

"After you joined the 'Freedom Alliance,' although you actively participated in many of the 'Freedom Alliance' activities, ... based on the current records, you have no record of killing ordinary 'players' outside of [Instances]. In fact, in one [Instance] with a confrontational nature, you encountered other members of 'Order' and 'Night Watch,' and even chose to find a way for you to clear the instance together."

As Yin Lan spoke, Chen Le frowned slightly.

"Bacchus, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Even if we reach a truce, we will still be enemies—what nonsense are you spouting?"

Chen Le said sternly.

Yin Lan looked at Chen Le and said calmly, "It's very simple. In my opinion, 'Zhu Ming' is actually different from you other members of the 'Freedom Alliance'."

“When I first heard that ‘Director’ was suspected of having a close relationship with a member of ‘Freedom Alliance’, I actually had some hostility and prejudice against ‘Director’ because, in my opinion, as a rising star of ‘Order’, doing so was a betrayal of the organization’s stance,” Yin Lan paused and said, “But… because the other people I trust in the organization have high expectations for ‘Director’, I can only calm down and carefully review the information about ‘Director’ and ‘Zhu Ming’.”

"And in this process I discovered... First of all, the 'Director' and 'Zhu Ming' met and became connected before 'Zhu Ming' joined the 'Psychological Society' and your 'Freedom Alliance'. No one can predict what path their initial friend will take, or what path they will diverge from later. Not everyone can completely disregard past feelings and only talk about their positions... So at this point, I also think that 'Director' has no problem."

"It's just that his behavior in associating with you does not comply with the organization's regulations—which is actually quite troubling for me. I know that rules are rigid but people are flexible, but the 'director's' violation is indeed a fact."

“We can’t possibly change this rule of the organization for the sake of the ‘Director’—after all, among the ‘Players’ and within the ‘Order,’ your relationship with the ‘Director’ is probably the only one without problems—the rule itself isn’t wrong, it’s just that it’s unreasonable to apply it to such a rare case as yours.”

Yin Lan continued talking to herself, and Lin Yu continued to ask questions.

So... what are you trying to say?

Yin Lan looked at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with a hint of excitement, as if fueled by alcohol or as if it came from her heart: "What I want to say is... after looking at his information and studying yours carefully, I found that although the 'director's' behavior is currently not in accordance with regulations and we cannot punish him according to the rules, there is another way to go."

“Zhu Ming, you are completely different from the other members of the Freedom Alliance. You are not one of those hopeless guys—your actions have not crossed any of the bottom lines set by the Order.”

"Your biggest violation to date is joining the 'Freedom Alliance' itself."

"Furthermore, in the current records... you also have a history of assisting other 'players' and aiding 'Order's' operations."

At this point, Yin Lan looked at Lin Yu and said earnestly.

"Therefore, as the head of the Southwest Region of 'Order,' I formally extend an invitation to you, 'Zhu Ming.' As long as you leave the 'Freedom Alliance,' I can act as your guarantor and recommend you to join 'Order' as a formal member."

"I believe your nature is 'lawful' and 'good'!"

Hearing Yin Lan's words, Chen Le, the "fisherman," turned pale.

"He even tried to poach someone from our side...this guy..."

He muttered to himself.

However, although the "fisherman" was very angry, he did not directly refute Yin Lan.

on the contrary……

He looked at Lin Yu.

In Chen Le's view, this was ultimately Zhu Ming's own business.

Lin Yu looked at Yin Lan, who was earnestly inviting him, and felt somewhat helpless.

He had only one thought in his mind...

Previously, I only thought that "God of Wine" Yin Lan was a bit reckless and straightforward...

But after drinking a little alcohol, he started talking like he was sleepwalking.

Inviting a member of the "Freedom Alliance" to join the "Order"... What's going on here?

Of course, considering that the leader of the 'Raiders' had previously invited members of 'Order' to join the 'Raiders', Lin Yu could only sigh.

"This 'death game' is extremely harmful."
