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

Chapter 738: Conversation with Gamblers

Li Hua looked at the suddenly appearing "May May" and seemed to be surprised that the other party would appear here.

He pushed up his glasses.

"Since you are here, let's talk alone."

He said, and May May smiled.

"can."

Li Hua stood up and pushed his glasses.

"Excuse me, everyone."

He said, and then followed "May May" outside.

Amidst everyone's astonishment and silence, the door of the tycoon's office was closed.

The second floor of the restaurant is still abandoned except for this office, with large areas of concrete walls and floors covered with dust.

Li Hua and Lin Yu stood in front of the old frosted glass, looking through the glass at the river surface shrouded in morning mist, which was already blurry.

"Was it that 'Old Yao' who reported this to you?"

Lin Yu shook his head slightly: "No, he just told me that someone from 'Order' came to him and asked if I had any inside information... I roughly guessed that it should be related to me."

"Actually, it's mainly related to Zhu Ming. Zhu Ming used his identity," Li Hua said calmly. "It's reasonable to ask him."

"Can you ask me too?"

Lin Yu said with a smile.

Li Hua was silent, then sighed: "Yes, 'May May'...you are so special."

"Although you've been recommended by the Grandmaster, and you're a very talented and intelligent person, and I admire you, your performance has caused me to have doubts."

"So that's why you asked me if I wanted to join the 'gambling fight'?"

Lin Yu asked back.

"Yes, I had some tentative thoughts when I asked you to participate in 'Death Field' this time," Li Hua whispered. "Even the fact that you agreed to do it speaks volumes—the last time I saw you, you weren't even at the 'Second Stage'... but this time you're already at the 'Second Stage'. Didn't you just get promoted to the 'Second Stage'?"

Lin Yu did not deny: "Yes, I just got promoted."

"So you actually reached the 'first level' after four [Instances] and the 'second level' after eight [Instances]," Li Hua knocked on the windowsill. "This speed... is unheard of."

"Before you, the fastest 'player' I knew also went through five 'dungeons' before reaching 'level one'."

As he spoke, Lin Yu touched his nose.

"Maybe I'm a little different, but why does that make you doubt me? Comrade Li Hua, don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ."

"People who are too talented are always hard to grasp and control," Li Hua said calmly. "I chose you in the beginning simply because you were 'good enough' but not 'unexpected' enough."

"But I was wrong... According to Zhiyuan's report, Ershi's death seems to be related to you. At the same time, I wanted to investigate what happened that day, but I found that someone from the forum was helping you cover up the incident."

"While I'm eager to uncover the mole lurking within Order, I can't help but wonder... have I introduced a monster I can't even control?"

"Although my awakened 'profession' is 'gambler', I'm used to using 'data' and visible 'probability' to explain the things I encounter and determine my actions. But after getting to know you more deeply, I found... the 'effective data' you gave me is too little."

Li Hua looked at Lin Yu: "To be honest, I'm afraid of you."

After hearing what Li Hua said, Lin Yu fell silent.

"You are so kind, Comrade Li Hua. I have only survived to this day by doing my utmost and being extremely careful."

"All my subconscious concealment...wasn't because I was planning anything, it was simply because of my lack of security."

Lin Yu looked at Li Hua: "If you want me to be honest, I can be honest - but can I trust you, Mr. Li Hua?"

"I know you're a high-ranking member of 'Order' and an administrator of Sea City, but... you know better than I do that the title of 'Order' isn't always trustworthy—that's probably why you came to me, isn't it?"

Li Hua looked at Lin Yu for a long time before slowly speaking.

"I swear in the name of the gods, as long as you don't do anything that seriously endangers the safety of society and the player community, I will never actively harm you or do anything against you."

The heavy words were thrown down, and even Lin Yu couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

He didn't seem to realize...

Li Hua actually swore directly to the "Gods"!

"I understand, Comrade Li Hua," Lin Yu's voice became more serious. "In that case, I don't need to hide anything from you anymore."

"You're definitely on the right track in wanting to investigate my relationship with Zhu Ming... because the relationship between her and I actually first met because of Fluoxetine."

Li Hua was a little surprised when he heard Lin Yu's words.

"You mean… Fluoxetine?"

"Yes, we were both targeted by Fluoxetine. The difference is... I was sent into the 'Death Game' by Fluoxetine himself, while Zhu Ming had already become a 'player' by accident before Fluoxetine took action. However, when Fluoxetine came to her, she mistakenly believed she was being hired, so she chose to fake her death to escape."

Lin Yu calmly revealed a hidden "truth," then added, "So, although I've cut off contact with Zhu Ming now, I did contact her once when she first joined the Psychology Society. She told me that my potential rating within the Psychology Society is the highest... 'S+' level."

"That's why I concealed my 'leveling up' and my true 'occupation'. That's why I concealed my information even when facing 'Order'."

Even though Li Hua was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard what Lin Yu said.

But then, he immediately fully understood Lin Yu's position.

"I see... Even before you even entered the game, you've already received this much attention from the Psychology Society. If they knew you were a genius who 'leveled up' in just four 'dungeons' and even awakened your 'unique profession', you'd truly be in utter ruin."

Lin Yu nodded: "More than that, I have something else to say."

Li Hua looked stern: "Anything else?"

"Yes, I didn't know why I was targeted by the Fortune Teller before. Now that I've completed the Upgrade, I know it's because I happened to possess a Fragment of Destiny."

"Before that, I had no idea what that [item] was, nor did I know what it was used for. I just could sense its mystical and special qualities—so, even when facing 'Order', I had to be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hua took off his glasses, wiped them with a piece of silk cloth from his jacket pocket, and then spoke slowly.

"I understand... You do have your reasons."

Lin Yu waited silently for Li Hua to put his glasses back on before speaking again.

"But what happened today made me realize... Comrade Li Hua, you are indeed trustworthy."

"And I'm already at the 'Second Stage', so I'd like to take this opportunity at the 'Death Field' to do something—I hope to get your assistance."
