Chapter 404: The Glory Ceremony Begins! The First One to Activate His Ability!
"A more important mission?"
After hearing Lin Yu's description, Stiller was puzzled.
As a clone, he was designated as the "Security Minister" since birth. Therefore, although the training and learning he received included assassination, expulsion, investigation and other aspects, Stiller's definition and understanding of himself have always been very clear: he himself is a security officer!
Even if he becomes a team leader and does dirty work for Paris, his essence will not change.
Therefore, Stiller found it difficult to imagine why Lin Yu said this.
"Is there anything more important than protecting your safety, Director?"
He asked subconsciously, and Lin Yu shook his head.
"Currently, my strength is sufficient to protect myself in this dungeon."
"Even if I'm lucky, there's still a chance I could win here—whether it's a player or an NPC. Even though I'm only at the First Level now, I'm confident that my strength is definitely not at the bottom."
After all, Lin Yu had just personally tested the burly man at the registration entrance... The other party looked like someone who was good at fighting. Shen Bingmiao's information mentioned that although the "Glory Festival" as the most important celebration still had the unreliable feeling unique to the Black Swamp Realm, the participants were definitely experienced or even masters from the various organizing forces, that is, the ten major tribes.
Some are even in the top ten of the final Warriors from the previous class.
Therefore, the burly man at the registration office was a little surprised by Lin Yu's attempt to test him, and was not pulled to the ground by him.
But regardless of whether he was a core member of the ten major tribes or a leader in the previous term, Lin Yu had already tried it out...
With my current combat power and the [props], I can handle it.
Ultimately, the free "Soldier" ability is just too good to be true.
With other blessings, this "Glory Festival" is really not that difficult.
Old Zheng also echoed Lin Yu: "Well said, this is exactly the kind of momentum we need! According to my past research, self-confidence really does affect a person's abilities in all aspects! In the 'Death Game', self-confidence is equally important!"
"Don't worry, Stiller. Although I don't know what mission this guy has for you, I trust his judgment!"
Old Zheng looked like he firmly supported Lin Yu's decision.
On the contrary, Hannah rarely followed Lin Yu immediately this time. Instead, she was a little worried: "Quack! But Director, this event is indeed full of violence, so we should be careful!"
"What more important task do you want to give Stiller?"
Stiller nodded curiously. "Yes, Director, what exactly do you need me to do?"
"I need you to wander around inside for a while," Lin Yu said calmly. "Just act like a normal contestant, hunt some beasts, fight with other contestants as appropriate, and prioritize your own survival... I'll also lend you some of my [Props]."
After hearing Lin Yu's arrangement, Hannah questioned it before Stiller could react.
"That doesn't sound necessary, does it?"
Even Lao Zheng turned against us.
"If you ask me, your arrangement is really a bit meaningless."
With these two people's preparation, Stiller, who had always carried out orders from Paris even if they seemed strange, finally hesitated for a moment and chose to ask again.
"What's the purpose of this?"
"This is part of my 'scam'... Well, to ensure it goes smoothly, since your acting isn't very good and there's at least one somewhat intelligent individual in this instance, I'll explain the reasons for your actions and the crucial 'operations' you need to perform later."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Now...it's better for you to stay in this confused state."
Stiller nodded, seeming to understand, his instinct to obey orders taking over again.
"I understand."
Stiller himself had already agreed, so Lao Zheng and Hannah naturally didn't say much.
After a brief exchange, the dense forest was completely plunged into night.
The sky was dark and the sun had completely sunk below the horizon.
The bright white moon climbed up and hung in the sky.
The mottled moonlight was like sifted flour, partially blocked by the intertwined branches of the dense forest overhead and some leaking through.
When I peeked through the shadows of the trees and saw the bright moon at the top of the sky...
"Ugh——!"
A heavy horn sounded from the center, as if coming from ancient times.
Lin Yu could feel his body trembling slightly, as if the beating heart in his chest was resonating with the long trumpet sound.
Even though he was not told in advance, Lin Yu had a vague judgment in his mind at this moment.
This is probably the "starting signal".
Sure enough, amid the long trumpet sounds, the tangled walls of thorns began to slowly "untie" and then retreated into the ground bit by bit.
“It’s quite magical.”
Lin Yu looked at this scene in amazement.
"The demon tribe's witchcraft is very good at transforming the life forms of plants and beasts, distorting their forms and states to achieve their own goals," Lao Zheng explained calmly. "Although the Blood Kingdom and the Three Hills Kingdom don't get along well, the demon tribe will help as long as there is a reward."
The horn sounds gradually subsided, and most of the steel-like vines and thorns had returned to the ground, leaving only a "base" that was as tall as the bushes in the street green belt and about one meter wide.
Lin Yu jumped over lightly and heard a new sound after the horn sound.
"Welcome to this 'Glory Festival', warriors!"
The voice was deep and dull, sounding like that of a tough guy, echoing between the earth and the sky.
"I am this year's referee, the throne guard of the Bronze Tribe, and former champion warrior, Jiang Rong!"
"This 'Glory Festival' will be the same as before, ten days long, no restrictions, just fight, fight, and fight!"
"The spoils can be collected or plundered!"
"The beast can be killed, the contestants can be killed—even me, the 'referee' can be killed!"
"There are only three rules to slightly constrain your behavior!"
"Until the first ten days are up, you are not allowed to flee or retreat—in short, don't be a wimp!"
"Second, cooperation is permitted, but bribery is strictly prohibited—do not tarnish the honor!"
"Three, a random healing place will appear every day, providing medicine, food, and water. Fighting is strictly prohibited inside!"
"that's it!"
After he finished speaking, Lin Yu sighed: "It's really simple and crude."
After the voice finished speaking, it suddenly sounded again.
"Oh, wait... there are special rules for this session!"
"Individual competitors will be provided with standard weapons and protective gear at the healing center during the first three days. First come, first served!"
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard this hastily added clause.
"It has a 'rule-based' activation ability... It seems to be a modification and expansion of the third rule. Is it an 'official'?"
