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

Chapter 1421 Lucky Box

Even Lin Yu took a few seconds to confirm whether "Nioh" was joking.

After all, judging from Niou's current performance, he does seem like the kind of guy who might suddenly make some silly jokes.

But Lin Yu still confirmed it through his micro-expressions; it seemed that Renwang really didn't recognize 'Xi Chen'.

As a fourth-tier expert in the "Player Mutual Aid Association," the host announcing the order of candidates' speeches, and even bringing out his own set of "props" as a reward for the person who ultimately wins the election and becomes the president...

He didn't even recognize one of the candidates.

It's even a candidate with considerable popularity!

Is this guy reliable or not?

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, but still began to introduce Ren Wang.

His understanding of "Xi Chen" is definitely far less than that of the real "Yan Guang".

However, with the information we have from the "Order" side, we can still give Nioh a simple introduction.

Therefore, Lin Yu quickly introduced the basic information about "Xi Chen" and the concept of this election to Ren Wang.

While listening, Renwang nodded repeatedly, and Lin Yu suspected that the guy probably wasn't really listening, or that the words went in one ear and out the other.

Soon, Lin Yu finished his introduction, and Ren Wang immediately began to speak.

"I see. He is indeed a good candidate. If he becomes the president, the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' will become much more 'formal'. That sounds like a good thing."

"I will support him—once the voting begins, I will cast all three of my votes for him."

Niou said with a smile.

Lin Yu waited for Ren Wang to continue speaking after hearing this.

However... Niou clearly had nothing more to say.

So Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "That's... all?"

Niou asked in surprise, "Of course there's nothing left, what else could it be?"

"Is your support limited to voting?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask again.

Niou nodded: "Of course, isn't this a way to express support? What else do I have besides my three sacred votes?"

Lin Yu showed a somewhat helpless expression: "Of course, it's not just these..."

Niou interrupted him: "Let me remind you, don't come up with any methods that don't conform to the election process or hinder fairness and impartiality. Although I am a 'fourth-rank'... the members of my election team have already been determined. All I can do is vote!"

"All members of our 'Player Mutual Aid Association' are equal. I won't have any special privileges or advantages just because I'm 'Tier 4'. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Your Majesty said solemnly."

Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring King Ren, Lin Yu couldn't help but speak up: "Don't make it sound like I'm going to ask you to do something that would seriously undermine fairness... Even if it's an intelligent vote, wouldn't it be okay if you expressed your support for 'Xi Chen' privately or to others? After all, our 'Player Mutual Aid Association' is an equal organization, so it's reasonable for you to express your support for 'Xi Chen' and say that you want to vote for him, right?"

Renwang said, "Our 'Player Mutual Aid Association' is indeed an organization of equality... But then again, I am, after all, a 'Tier 4' player, and my every move is under a lot of scrutiny. My public expression of opinions is itself an obstacle to fairness!"

Niou uttered a correct but contradictory statement that contradicted what he had said earlier.

Lin Yu didn't dwell too much on Ren Wang's contradictory behavior. He simply looked at Ren Wang, who had changed the subject, and made a thoughtful expression: "Since you insist on this, can I announce in advance that you will vote for 'Xi Chen' and support 'Xi Chen'? You don't need to cooperate with such rumors. Just don't directly deny them if someone asks you about them."

As Lin Yu spoke, Ren Wang shook his head: "No, what's the difference between this and me directly helping out? I won't accept it."

Then, Renwang looked at Lin Yu and immediately added, "If you really publicize this without consulting me first, I will definitely oppose it publicly, and I will beat you and 'Xichen' up!"

As Niou spoke, he clenched his fist and waved it in front of him.

"All you can get is the three votes I personally cast—and I won't accept you using my votes for publicity!"

Seeing this 'fourth-tier' expert personally use force to threaten him, Lin Yu's evaluation of him was once again revised.

However, on the surface, Lin Yu still plays the role of 'Yan Guang', striving to seek benefits related to 'Xi Chen's' election, which he doesn't actually care much about.

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Alright... but to put it another way, what you said about 'three votes' is not right either. Although everyone has three votes this time, these three votes cannot be cast for the same person at the same time; they must be cast separately for different people!"

Niou exclaimed in surprise, "There's even such a setting?"

Lin Yu sighed helplessly, "You don't know about this, which shocks me even more than you don't know about 'Xi Chen'... Don't you care about the election process at all?"

Niou glanced somewhat guiltily at the vending machine beside him, then suddenly became righteous.

"I did care, but the files they sent me were revised so many times that I don't know which version is the main one, so my memory is a bit confused!"

Lin Yu said, "Regardless of the version, everyone has three votes to cast for different candidates."

Niou's momentum weakened again: "I'm really not good at these things... Lately, my energy has been focused on 'ranking up,' so I haven't had time to pay attention to these things."

Lin Yu said, "No matter what, you originally agreed on three votes, but now you only have one... Shouldn't you compensate me for that in some way?"

Even if you don't want to affect the fairness and impartiality of the 'election,' you can always help in other areas, right?

Lin Yu asked, and although Ren Wang was very unreliable, he seemed to still have some sense of shame—after Lin Yu repeatedly caught him in his words, he finally relented.

"Well... that's fine too. After all, you did catch an intruder, so that counts as a contribution!"

"As the strongest in the organization, I should indeed encourage and reward you... How about this, I'll give you some 'practical' benefits?"

As Renwang spoke, he then pulled out a yellow, six-sided cube-shaped box from his pocket. The box was about half a meter long, wide, and tall, roughly the size of his forearm, and each face had a red question mark drawn on it.

“Here, this is my [Lucky Box],” Niou said, placing it on the ground. “You can keep it… Whether you give it away or open it yourself, I won’t interfere—is that alright?”

Although Lin Yu didn't know what a "Lucky Box" was, he was worried that this was something Yan Guang would know, so he didn't evaluate the "item".

He simply put the box away, then said seriously, "Since you've said so... then let's leave it at that."

"I have other things to take care of in other parts of Shenzhen, so I'll have to stay and take my leave."

Lin Yu said this, then bid farewell to King Ren and left.

With Renwang as a "witness," Lin Yu no longer needed to appear and act at Xichen's place and walked directly out of the venue.

He would find a corner without surveillance cameras, then secretly remove his disguise and use the shadows to "sneak back" into the venue, thus completely resolving the aftermath of impersonating "Yan Guang" and allowing him to resume his activities as the "director."

After Lin Yu left, Ren Wang bought a few more cans of drinks.

At this moment, Monica's speech was over. Niou took out the wireless microphone from his pocket, turned it on, and began to speak.

"Next, please welcome the next candidate, Xi Chen, to the stage to give his campaign speech."

The sound echoed throughout the venue.

And this time, the order... is still messed up.

Nioh did indeed announce the candidates in order of "popularity".

But this was not because he did it intentionally.

Rather, it's because Niou isn't currently in the studio; he's wandering around the venue.

Therefore, Niou did not carry a manuscript with him.

He just named the most popular candidate only because he was naming the three guys he could remember.

And now the reported name is 'Xi Chen'...

Naturally, it was also because he had just heard this code name from Lin Yu!

The sound echoed in the corridor, and Niou quickly walked towards the studio.

……

……

……

Meanwhile, underground at the venue.

Xiao Yun, the "embalmer," arrived at one of the underground storage rooms. After pushing open the door, she found Lao Zhou, the "prisoner," and Qian Huan, the "magician," who were already waiting there, carrying two black duffel bags.

There was a square cut in the concrete floor of the basement, beneath which was a deep tunnel—clearly, this was the route the 'Freedom Alliance' had taken to infiltrate.

Xiaoyun looked at Lao Zhou and Qianhuan and asked, "Did you get them?"

"Of course, although Qianhuan is not as efficient at stealing as Li Nian, it's still easy for her," Old Zhou said, weighing the bag in his hand. "The two 'corporate slaves' and 'thugs' you specifically asked for are all in here."

Xiaoyun nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, then let's retreat for now... and come back again when the situation becomes more chaotic in a few days."

Qianhuan cautiously asked, "Will you come back in a few days? But if two corpses are missing... the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' and 'Order' might become alert and on guard!"

"A few days later, my charade was completely exposed!"

“It doesn’t matter. Whether your illusion will be seen through or not, we’ve already been exposed,” Xiaoyun said, shaking her head. “Because when I was upstairs checking if there were any other people who were going to die... I ran into ‘Nioh’.”

Xiaoyun's tone was calm, but Lao Zhou and Qianhuan both looked shocked.

"Nioh?!"

"Then how did you escape!"

"Could he have let you go on purpose?"
