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

Chapter 1055 Copper Furnace and Emperor

"Honestly, if you really want to attend the wedding, you'd better count on Wang Yuyang. Brother Wang and his wife should be making faster progress."

As Lin Yu spoke, he turned the topic to Wang Yuyang.

Wang Yuyang didn't shy away from the topic and took it up generously: "I did mention it to Yu Qiang, but she still wants to have some stability..."

Old Wu asked, "Does this mean you want to advance to the third level?"

"It's not about the 'death game' aspect. I'm planning on deciding on a city, buying a house, renovating it, and then buying a car."

Wang Yuyang said seriously.

"This is so real, it suddenly feels so heavy," Qian Huan covered his head. "We are the 'Freedom Alliance', so please don't talk about such unfree topics, okay?"

Li Nian touched his chin: "Buying a house, is it so heavy?"

"Hehe, high school student, you'll understand when you graduate."

Qian Huan said with his hands on his chest.

Old Zhou looked at Qian Huan and said, "Are you kidding me? Do you want to see where Anian lives now? Her bedroom is even bigger than your living room."

Qian Huan was stunned, then sighed, "Damn Haicheng... Damn it! Sooner or later, I'll sell my house and move to a county town to buy a larger flat."

"Well, a house is enough for sleeping, isn't it?" the mountaineer waved his hand. "I don't think it's that important."

Xiaoyun, who was trimming the dead skin on one of her purple hands, looked up. "But, can you sleep under a roof for a week out of the year?"

The mountaineer touched his chin and said, "Indeed, my idea doesn't seem to have much reference value..."

After confirming that Zhu Ming and Anian were safe, the other members of the "Freedom Alliance" also started chatting in the room. It seemed like everyone was having a New Year's party - except for some melon seeds and fruit.

Lin Yu took advantage of this opportunity to return the three [props] to Lao Zhou, Qian Huan and the fisherman.

After all, they were not used in the Gray Domain - the ones given by Lao Zhou and Qian Huan were obviously core items. Although he had never seen the fisherman Lin Yu use them, the [Bait] he gave did not seem to be given randomly.

Although these three things seem to be very useful, Lin Yu doesn't intend to ignore them.

After all, maintaining good relations with the people of the "Free Alliance" is more important.

As for the [Old-Fashioned Lunch Box] from the God of Cooking and the [Stones from Other Mountains] given by the Mountaineer, after Lin Yu took them out, both of them said that such consumables did not need to be returned.

"Wow, Zhu Ming, you have to pay back the food I gave you? There's no need for that!"

"This stone has been sitting in my [Prop Space] for quite a while, and I don't have much time to use it. Just take it away."

After Lin Yu completed the handover of the [props], Li Nian also spoke.

"Um... Sister Zhu Ming, I also have some items I want to return to you."

Li Nian took out the [Ancient Notes].

She held the notebook, looking a little conflicted. "This contains some information you might want to know..."

Fang Qing stood up and looked at the God of Cooking.

"I'm feeling a little hungry."

Of course, the God of Cooking couldn't stand hearing this and immediately stood up.

"Oh, that's too much. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Fang Qing looked at the God of Cooking and spoke calmly.

"Just order some of your specialties, and see what you like."

"That's no problem," the chef took out an order book and began to write down the dishes. "Sweet and sour pork with pineapple, stir-fried beef noodles, spare ribs with black bean sauce, stuffed bitter melon with meat..."

In an instant, Lao Zhou, the comedian, and the mountaineer swallowed their saliva like Pavlov's dogs.

The God of Cooking said without even looking up: "It seems that everyone is hungry, so let's go downstairs and eat something together."

As he spoke, he turned and walked outside, leading the others downstairs.

All of a sudden...

Only Lin Yu, Li Nian and... Fang Qing were left in the room, slowly moving towards the door with a cane.

Lin Yu looked at Fang Qing, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you deliberately sending them away?"

Fang Qing stopped and shook his head: "It's not really a dismissal, it's just a reminder - a reminder that they can choose not to listen to what's coming next."

"Everyone can guess that you two have brought back the complete memories of the 'Gray Domain'... and Ah Nian doesn't seem to really want everyone to know about the Gray Domain."

Li Nian nodded: "Thank you for your help, Boss... But I didn't mean to hide it, it's just that these things..."

"I understand. I'm already at the 'Fourth Stage,' Anian. I know better than you that 'knowing' means 'trouble,'" Fang Qing said nonchalantly. "However, I don't mind sharing this either—they probably don't either. So if you can't handle it, you can always come to me for help."

Li Nian nodded: "I will."

"Come down for dinner after you finish chatting."

Fang Qing also left the room and closed the door before leaving.

Inside the room, Li Nian handed the Ancient Notes to Lin Yu. "Sister Xia, you previously asked me to investigate the flow of props in the Gray Domain to find the guy who offered a bounty on the director... I did find some clues."

"Before the Central Authority discovered I was using the Ancient Notes, I had quite high authority within the Gray Domain, so I retrieved some data from other Small Worlds and recorded it..."

Li Nian opened the [Ancient Notes] and found that one of the pages had some complicated but regular short lines printed on it, which looked like some kind of stored data.

"There's a small world within it that contains a large number of 'agreements' signed with 'players'. The specific contents are encrypted—but I can see the basic contents of the agreement."

"In that small world, the 'Central Authority' reached an agreement with a certain group of players, allowing them to move freely within without cognitive interference. They will likely still experience amnesia after leaving, but they will retain more vague memories than ordinary 'players' who enter the Gray Zone."

Lin Yu was slightly shocked when he heard Li Nian's words.

He originally thought that because this step was too big and the main purpose was to save Li Nian, the matter of investigating the "secret organization" through the gray area had to be put on hold for the time being.

But I didn't expect...

Li Nian actually found out something about the secret organization.

"Furthermore, this secret organization isn't simply exploiting the chaos of the Gray Domain. Although they haven't entered the Mirror World, and most members may not even be aware of the multi-layered structure of the Gray Domain, they do have an agreement with the 'Central Authority.'"

Lin Yu thought about it and felt extremely shocked.

Sure enough, although the central government has not yet successfully replaced the "players", it has already reached cooperation with some players through "inducement"!

Lin Yu looked at the [Ancient Notes] in his hand and whispered, "Is all the information about this organization in it?"

The ownership of [Ancient Notes] returned to Lin Yu's hands.

Li Nian's voice rang out: "Yes, but there's not much of value. I just know that their organization is called 'Bronze Furnace'..."

"And the leader among them, codenamed... 'Emperor'."
