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

Chapter 617: Lao Yao's Foreshadowing

Although Lin Yu usually has few friends, it is very easy for him to please a specific person or group of people if he wants to.

Jiang'antang called it a meeting, but in reality, it was more like a team-building dinner. The only time they talked about work was before the food was served. After each member briefly reported on their recent developments, which weren't anything major, everyone started...

Eat and drink.

The tycoon did not lie to Lin Yu about this. The atmosphere inside "Jiang'an Hall" was very friendly.

Such occasions also gave Lin Yu ample room to perform.

After three rounds of drinks, the two incense masters beside Lin Yu were talking big and had already become brothers with Lin Yu.

"Brother Yao, you are really capable..."

"We hit it off right away!"

Lin Yu smiled and picked up the glass of juice: "Not at all, both of you are my seniors, both in and out of the game. I still have a lot to learn!"

He said this and then drank the juice in the glass.

And these two people were not the only ones who had a very good impression of Lin Yu - Lin Yu had already toasted and drank with them.

The core members of the entire "Jiang'an Hall" now have more or less developed some good feelings and closeness towards "Old Yao".

Especially... the tycoon who was sitting in the main seat with his face flushed with alcohol.

He came over here staggeringly, holding a wine glass.

"Boss!"

"You two make room, I need to chat with Lao Yao," the tycoon said. The two incense masters also moved their stools so that the tycoon could sit next to Lin Yu. "Lao Yao, seeing that you have integrated so well, I am relieved."

"To be fair, brother, when I first recruited you and made use of you, I really valued your relationship with 'May May'—he's a very powerful newcomer with great potential, so I originally hoped you would tie him up..."

"But brother, what I said in the car was all from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of my heart, without a single word of falsehood... Now I am optimistic about you, I really am optimistic about you!"

"We at Jiang'an Hall welcome all kinds of talent. Someone as versatile as you is naturally a talent. If an organization wants to grow and achieve great things, it needs those kind of powerful generals and think tanks. Look at Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, who killed the white snake and started the rebellion. He needed Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Fan Kuai... but the most important one was Xiao He!"

The tycoon exhaled a foul breath: "Lao Yao, brother...you are my Xiao He!"

Lin Yu quickly picked up the cup again: "Boss, you are too kind..."

"What praise is there? 'Invisible Hand', come on!"

A middle-aged man who was eating at the other end of the banquet stood up, rubbed his hands and ran over.

"Boss, tell me!"

"Bring out the [Props] I asked you to help find," the tycoon then looked at Lin Yu. "'Death Game' is special after all. It's too difficult for ordinary people to win every game with just one trick. But since we have to go through the [Instance], we have to improve our abilities in all aspects. Otherwise, it's easy to die inexplicably in the instance... I know you just 'Leveled Up' and probably don't have enough foundation, so I got you two sets of [Props]."

"Because I'm the only one, I don't know much about it," the tycoon continued, "so I've asked 'Invisible Hand' to handle this. Professional matters should be handled by specialized people... You two have the same 'profession', so you should communicate more in the future!"

As the tycoon spoke, Shadowless Hand also smiled.

"Brother Yao, these two [Items] are both very necessary for a Level 1 Thief... I heard from the boss that you chose the [Magic Bag], so I gave you some additional survivability and attack capabilities."

Lin Yu quickly took the [prop] handed over by the "Invisible Hand" and immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you so much... Hey," Lin Yu's face showed excitement, "Boss, Brother Shou... you are so thoughtful. It is the honor of my life to join you!"

After Lin Yu expressed his gratitude, he looked at the prompts that appeared in front of him one after another.

[Item: Assassin's Sleeve Arrow, bound!]

[Item: Earth Escape Talisman Armor, already bound!]

[Assassin's Hidden Bolt: Equips six fine steel hidden bolts every 72 hours, firing them all at the pull of a trigger. Before activation, the device will be in "absolute concealment" mode.]

[Earth Escape Talisman Armor: After activation, you can move freely in any solid medium for 15 minutes. Each use requires 24 hours of recharging.]

Lin Yu looked at the [Props] prompt and was stunned.

I originally thought that the props that Tycoon and Shadowless Hand prepared for Lao Yao were probably just props that I could barely use.

If this were put up at an auction, it would probably be a hot item worth thousands of points!

It seems that the tycoon is really afraid that Lao Yao will die in the [copy]... I guess he really has high hopes for Lao Yao!

After realizing the value of these [props], Lin Yu immediately upgraded his motivation to be moved.

He was stunned at first: "This... this is too expensive, I can't take it, right?"

"What are you talking about? I've already told you that you've made a huge contribution to the organization!"

The tycoon said seriously, and the shadowless hand also persuaded: "Yes, this is specially for you."

Lin Yu was flattered and picked up the two [props]. He did not put them away in a hurry, but looked at them for a while, and then felt a little happy.

"Thank you so much everyone... I really, the organization has been so good to me, I have no way to repay you!"

At the end of his speech, Lin Yu's eyes were slightly moist.

He rubbed his nose vigorously and said with a half-embarrassed and half-joyed tone, "Boss, I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit...but...thank you so much!"

The smooth-talking look he had just displayed disappeared, and he felt a little at a loss.

"Well, it's no big deal, you deserve it."

The tycoon patted Lin Yu's shoulder again.

"So, you have to tell me something," the tycoon said with a smile. "May May told me that you and he are close friends... Apparently, he was the one whose life you saved."

"Old Yao, I'm telling you the truth. The real stuff is right here, and you know I'm not kidding... so tell me the truth, too."

"How could you save such a cruel person?!"

Hearing the tycoon's words, Lin Yu's face was still moved, and he immediately spoke.

"Brother, I have nothing to hide from you. I do have some cards up my sleeve!"

At this moment, Lin Yu's tone was extremely frank, as if he wanted to open his heart to the tycoon.

But in his heart, when Lin Yu heard the tycoon ask this question, his first reaction was only...

Glad!

"Sure enough, a seasoned veteran like the Tycoon couldn't possibly fail to notice the foreshadowing I left behind under the identity of May May!"

"He finally asked."

Lin Yu moved closer to the tycoon and lowered his voice.

"To be honest, brother, I once saw a god in a certain [copy]!"
