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

Chapter 405 Officials and Swindlers

The effectiveness of "professional" abilities is often very counterintuitive.

The "enhanced" type is not so difficult to explain, as it simply violates common sense of physics.

As for the "skill type" and "rule type", the moment they take effect is often "weird".

For example, the "thief" who can make something appear instantly in his hand by "activating his ability", and the "doctor" who can make injuries and illnesses disappear rather than "heal"...

For example, the "rule type" can be described as the law of cause and effect.

It can often modify and correct everyone's cognition in an instant, even those who are aware of the high-level existence of "players" and "games" are not immune.

Beings at the level of God's agents or even God himself, although immune to such modifications to a certain extent, seem to have no choice but to admit the fact that the rules have been invalidated, tampered with, or added.

It seems to be directly acting on some kind of mysterious "world will".

Just like the ability of the "official" that Lin Yu obtained through fraud before, it can even invalidate the abilities of monsters like "Chat".

Although the essence is that "Chat" is not a real life, its "ability" is still regarded as the "rules" of the game...

However, Lin Yu had seen some of the "rule-based" abilities.

It may not be easy to use, but it can be used in various situations.

Just like now, Lin Yu knew that someone had activated the "rule-based" ability.

"After all, this rule appeared so suddenly, it's hard not to be caused by the 'player's' ability."

Stiller was lighting the way ahead, while Lin Yu was behind with Hannah and Lao Zheng, keeping watch and analyzing the "rules" just now.

After the rules were read out, the iron wall of thorns rose again.

After listening to Lin Yu's analysis, Lao Zheng also put forward his own views.

"I'm not an 'official'. If I were an 'official'... I would directly modify the scope so that only I can enter the healing area."

"Although ordinary 'officials' can't do it, those who can enter this 'dungeon' must have completed at least one 'level-up', most likely 'Level 2'... Their abilities must have been enhanced, so achieving this shouldn't be difficult."

Lin Yu asked Lao Zheng: "How do you know so much? Could it be that you were an official in your previous career?"

"My previous profession was a scholar. Okay, I'm pure. I'm not one of those vulgar people who think they have power and status," Old Zheng said with disdain, his thoughts flashing. "I was the one who set the admission criteria for the professional committee of the Psychological Society!"

"As for my familiarity with 'officials,' it's simply because I was disgusted by one before... Honestly, if you can help me disgust and take revenge on that guy, I can make a deal with you and give you some benefits!"

Lin Yu didn't rush to agree: "Tell me who it is first, I always feel like there's something fishy going on."

Old Zheng was silent for a second and a half before speaking: "Really alert... It's 'Order'."

"Back then, I was already in charge of the South China Inspection, codenamed 'Human Valley'. I think I should be promoted to the head of a larger region now, right?"

Lin Yu exhaled: "Well, not only is he a ruthless character, he is also a 'orderly' one."

"But think on the bright side. After so much time, he might have died in a dungeon like you."

"No, because I sensed it when you went to Haicheng. His 'Perpetual Rule' still exists, which means he's still alive," Old Zheng sighed. "You can check him out in the 'Hunting Club'. He has the third highest bounty in 'Order,' second only to 'General' and 'Secretary,' and higher than 'Grandmaster.'"

Lin Yu was surprised: "So what did he do?"

"'No members of the Psychology Society or the Plunderers are allowed to enter offline player trading gatherings,'" Old Zheng said bitterly. "Join the Plunderers sometime and enter an offline gathering yourself, and you'll find out. Once you enter, you'll find it hard to breathe and can even be sensed by the current city administrator."

Old Zheng doesn't know yet that Lin Yu already has this identity. After all, Lin Yu hasn't had time to create another account this time and is busy with the "May May" matter.

But after hearing what Lao Zheng said, Lin Yu was filled with respect for the "Ren Gu" whom he had never met before.

"What a nice guy! His only mistake was not kicking out the Freedom Alliance!"

No wonder the security of my offline gatherings is so high. It turns out that someone is carrying the heavy burden and providing escort, kicking out the two biggest bad apples in the player community.

Although he didn't know what this "official" was like in reality, Lin Yu guessed that he was probably an honest and good official who cared about the people at work!

"Anyway, if it's not an 'official', which 'rule-based' type do you think it's more likely to be?"

Lin Yu asked, and Lao Zheng thought about it.

"To be honest... based on this content, I'm actually more inclined towards your peers."

Lin Yu was surprised: "'Actor'? Or an advanced 'student'?"

"Your self-identification isn't very clear, young man," Lao Zheng said calmly. "If it weren't 'your only profession,' I'd be more inclined to call you 'a liar.'"

"They just unlocked the ability right from the start, and the content didn't seem custom-made. It felt very much like a scammer."

Lin Yu was a little surprised when he heard this.

When I was at the first level, the quest for the advancement trial was to find a "cheater," but there was no "cheater" in that dungeon...

When I reached the "Second Stage", there was no "cheater" in the mission, but I encountered one in the game instead.

There's always a sense of inexplicable coincidence.

"'Liar'... that's quite interesting."

Since the profession is "swindler", it means that the other party must have some knowledge of fraud and scam methods.

Now that it was known that a Level 3 Detective had come to the door, a relatively tricky player who was not easy to deceive had appeared.

"It's really challenging! The 'Ascension Trial' is indeed a 'Ascension Trial'... Even if we put aside the quest, this player configuration feels like a 'Trial' specially prepared for me in the 'Death Game'."

Lin Yu sighed, and finally summarized his thoughts: "Even this kind of game has an ELO mechanism that matches you with abnormal opponents after a winning streak. It really makes the whole family suffer."

Stiller, who was exploring the way ahead, couldn't help but look back.

"I thought the director was excited about the challenge, but he's complaining instead."

Lao Zheng also laughed dumbly: "I think this game shouldn't have ELO, you're just unlucky!"

Lin Yu sighed: "Yeah, that's why I'm unhappy!"

While Lin Yu and his summons were chatting and exploring.

In the distance, a bright light source about a hundred meters away from them suddenly went out!

Lin Yu stopped joking and chatting instantly.

"Stiller, lights out."

"Someone is coming towards us."
