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

Chapter 420 Liar

After Fen said that he could handle it, Lin Yu naturally stopped asking questions.

Since she thinks she can handle it, just leave it to her.

So, Lin Yu also sat there and accepted the makeup about Fern.

The "makeup" that Fen chose for him was on his neck. She drew a penetrating wound on the side of Lin Yu's neck.

Although this may be a fatal injury for humans, in the Black Swamp Realm, a cut in the artery in the neck does not necessarily mean death.

Afterwards, Lin Yu and Jue found a bed with a good view and a central location and sat down.

"Okay... just lie down here first."

"Before anyone comes, I'll go take care of that chattering stove," Fern said, walking straight towards the stove. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Lin Yu had no doubt about this.

Looking at Fern walking to the stove and whispering, Lin Yu began to call out to his followers in his heart.

"Hannah, can you hear what she says?"

Hannah's voice sounded cheerfully.

"Quack! Of course, Director!"

At this moment, the little octopus was lurking in the shadows near the stove, acting as Lin Yu's eavesdropping device.

Although Lin Yu "trusts" Fern, what he trusts is Fern's ability.

Lin Yu doesn't trust Fen at all.

Hannah quickly conveyed the subsequent conversation between Fern and the goblin to Lin Yu.

"...I expect you to keep quiet about us staying here and pretending to be injured."

"You're just a mere human contestant, and you dare to order me around? I won't do anything that blasphemes honor. Rather, if you're cowards, why did you choose to participate in the first place?!"

"Don't ask too much about us, goblins... Don't pretend to take this festival so seriously. I know what kind of people you goblins are—let's make a deal, idiot."

"You actually called me an idiot?! You're not only a coward, but also rude!"

"Do you want to be free? Do you want to get out of this furnace?"

"...What do you want to say? Can a mere human like you do that?"

"You should be able to tell that the person following me is no ordinary person... Don't tell me that you, an idiot and a weirdo, have lived for so long that you can't even see this."

“But how can I confirm…”

"Cost, goblin, you have to calculate the 'cost'—haven't you realized yet? Even if you do us this favor, it will only tarnish your 'illusory honor,' but the reward may be the 'freedom' you desire most."

"That seems to make some sense, but why do you do this?"

"Because you guessed it right. I didn't come to this game for glory, and I don't care about glory... I just want to make a big scene. Letting you out wouldn't be without benefits for me."

"...Very good, then we have a deal. I will turn a blind eye to your actions, but that's all."

The conversation ended, and Hannah also ended the simultaneous transmission.

After the stove responded, the flames burning in the entire stove became much quieter and more peaceful.

Fern also turned around and gave Lin Yu a thumbs up.

“Done!”

She said confidently, walking back quickly.

Lin Yu looked at Fen and nodded calmly.

In his heart, Lin Yu was processing the content that Hannah had just broadcast word for word, and he felt very surprised.

"This girl has seen through the superficial disguise I intended for her to see through. She has already believed that I am some high-level NPC who can know the existence of players."

This was within Lin Yu's expectations. After all, his performance was really not like that of a "player".

Especially through the conversation just now, Lin Yu could know that this Fen was not completely ignorant of the Black Swamp Realm.

The more she understood the Black Swamp Realm, the more she felt that Lin Yu was indeed a native of this realm.

"Even though I exposed so many flaws, she was much faster than I expected. She is indeed very smart..."

"And now that she believes I'm not a 'player,' her actions have become a bit bolder... This is a bit of an unexpected gain."

While Lin Yu was thinking, Fen had already come and sat down beside him.

"Phew, we've already won it over to our side."

Fern spoke lightly, and Lin Yu nodded.

"Aren't you curious about how I did it?"

Fern crossed his legs and looked at Lin Yu.

"Threat, temptation, or threat and temptation, no wonder it's like this," Lin Yu said softly, "With my ability, I can't think of anything else for the time being."

Fern smiled and said, "You guessed right. Oh, Moro, you are really smart."

Having said that, Fern lay down.

"Okay, let's just wait here for a while."

Of course, Lin Yu had no objection to this proposal.

He also pretended to be seriously injured and lay on the mat to rest. Although Lin Yu's physical strength could still hold up with the blessing of BUFF, there would be no harm in resting and recovering.

Not long after Lin Yu lay down, Hannah also crawled back quietly.

"Quack! Mr. Director, I'm back!"

"I can't believe this 'Hunter' actually convinced that spirit. I heard from Uncle Ka that the spirits in the Black Swamp are very strange and difficult to communicate with... Even cooking them is a hassle."

Can I actually cook it?

Lin Yu was slightly shocked by what Hannah said, and then responded to her: "It was inevitable that she persuaded the monster because this guy chose the most 'efficient' method, which is the third method besides threats and inducements."

"Quack, so there's a third type?"

Hannah was shocked.

"Of course, but the third one usually manifests itself in one of the first two forms." Lin Yu glanced at Fern lying next to him, and activated his [Mind-Reading Mirror]. "After all, whether it's threats or inducements, they're all about negotiating with what you can do."

At this moment, Fern was filled with complex emotions such as thought, curiosity, doubt, worry, and relief - these emotions were almost invisible in her expression.

If Lin Yu didn't have the [Mind-Reading Mirror], he wouldn't be able to be 100% sure how much of the other person's relaxed attitude was an act.

This person is probably one of the best actors Lin Yu has ever seen, but his acting skills are not "smoothly adapted" and are slightly inferior to his own in details.

"Negotiating with something you can't do, considering only what the other party wants and fears, and convincing the other party that you can do what it wants and fears, using this method of 'deception' to negotiate is, of course, almost impossible to fail."

Lin Yu said calmly, and Hannah was shocked.

"Quack! So this woman is actually a liar?!"

"Yes, she is a liar."

Lin Yu responded calmly.
