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

Chapter 1429 Nioh's Item Showcase

'Yu Lin Ling' had absolutely no involvement in 'Hong Mu's' death.

Lin Yu, through his observation of him, is now certain of this.

Because Yu Linling's ignorance wasn't an act—he was genuinely surprised that Zhiyuan would accuse him of something.

In fact, from the moment Yu Linling appeared alive, Lin Yu no longer felt that there was any need to investigate her.

Of course... Lin Yu didn't rush to tell Yin Lan, Ren Gu, and Liang Ye that "Yu Lin Ling" was no longer a suspect, after all, he needed these people from "Order" to have something to do after the event.

Otherwise, what if their free time interferes with my schedule?

after all……

Although Lin Yu now has a general idea of ​​the real culprit's identity, he does not intend to expose him now.

"The 'Raiders,' who are almost openly planning to attack on the fifth day; the 'Freedom Alliance,' who just met 'Nioh'; and someone from the 'Psychological Society,' who impersonated 'Schreber' and killed 'Iced Americano' this morning... plus the guy who killed 'Redwood' now. Although it's only the first day, all the guys who want to create chaos have already arrived."

Lin Yu sighed inwardly.

Although everyone knew that this election would probably not be peaceful, no one expected that... it would be so turbulent on the very first day.

Even Lin Yu, who hoped for a more chaotic scene, felt that the current situation of the various candidates of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" arguing amongst themselves was a bit too chaotic.

But unlike Yin Lan, who felt lost and even anxious about the current situation, Lin Yu remained calm because he knew that although things looked chaotic at the moment, this scene would inevitably have an "end" and a "final" moment.

This is also why Ren Gu can remain calm—Lin Yu knows that the person in charge of the South China region is also aware of this.

And right now...

The moment of "end" has arrived.

"squeak--"

The tightly closed door to the conference room was pushed open, and a red-haired young man with an ice pop in his mouth appeared in the doorway.

"We haven't reached a conclusion yet?"

The previously noisy group fell silent.

The strongest member of the "Player Mutual Aid Association," the only "Tier 4" member, "Nioh," appeared at the entrance.

He stood at the front door, holding an ice pop in his hand, one hand on the door frame, and said casually.

"It's already 5:30 pm, almost lunchtime—so everyone, stop making noise and hurry downstairs."

"Now it's my turn to announce something."

After the King of Benevolence finished speaking, no one raised even the slightest objection.

This meeting, which may have only progressed to about a third of its planned stage, was thus shelved.

This is the inevitable end point that Lin Yu knew about—although all the candidates' speeches and background announcements had ended, it was theoretically a "halftime" period.

There is still one crucial activity that hasn't taken place today.

That is the part where "Nioh" will announce the set of "items" that it will be providing.

……

……

……

On the first floor of the venue, all members of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" gathered again in front of the main booth.

This time, none of the candidate teams stayed in their own rest areas; instead, they stood in the audience alongside the others.

The sky was already getting dark, and all the lights in the venue were turned on, converging on the main exhibition stand.

Having already met Nioh, Lin Yu knew that the other party was not a pretentious or ostentatious person.

and so……

After almost everyone in the venue had arrived, while most people were still whispering among themselves...

Nioh walked naturally from backstage to the stage.

When this flamboyantly dressed red-haired youth stood on the main stage, most of the audience didn't even react at first.

until……

"Dong dong!"

Niou took out the microphone, gently patted it with his hand, and then cleared his throat.

"Good evening to all members of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' and other brother organizations."

"Since this is the first time I'm meeting most of you here, let me give a brief self-introduction... I am 'Nioh'."

The magnetic voice and concise words left many members of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" momentarily speechless.

But soon, they all realized... that the person on the stage was actually the pillar of the "Player Mutual Aid Association," the mysterious "Fourth-Tier" expert.

The room was initially silent, but soon erupted into a noisy discussion.

"Is that Nioh?!"

"So young..."

"I never expected him to be like this."

"That voice...it sounds like the one that's been introducing the candidates all afternoon!"

Although most people in the room subconsciously started discussing, everyone who spoke kept their voices very low, so while the room was somewhat "noisy," it was not quite disruptive.

The next sentence from "Nioh" broadcast immediately drowned out the discussion among the people.

"In short, before the election even started, I promised to provide five of my [items] as a reward to the members who win this election and are elected as the first president of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association.' This is also to provide some protection and assistance to our new president, so that he won't quickly perish in some [dungeon] or be targeted by some malicious organization and suffer misfortune as soon as he takes office..."

Niou showed no intention of giving everyone time to discuss, nor did he seem to have any plans to warm up the discussion; he simply continued speaking rapidly on his own.

After saying that, he still quickly moved on to the next step.

Niou pulled out an item from his pocket.

It was a pendant with a red cord and an irregular, yellowish-brown jade fragment hanging from it.

Niou spoke in a loud voice.

"This is the first [prop] I want to provide; its name is [Immovable as a Mountain]."

"This [item] was formed from the spiritual energy extracted from ten thousand mountain stones in the Prison Mountain Realm."

"Its effect is... after wearing it, any influence or 'state change' effect on the wearer will be weakened by about 70% to 90%."

"In layman's terms, it means that all attacks you receive will be reduced by at least 70%, whether they are magical, physical, or spiritual attacks—of course, in return, the buffs and healing you receive will also be reduced by 70% to 90%, which is its 'double-edged sword' side."

Niou explained the effects of the first [item].

And after he finished his introduction...

The whole place was in an uproar!

Even though everyone respected Nioh's identity and strength, and had ample respect for this Tier 4 player, at this moment, no one who heard the description of this [item]'s effects could remain calm.

Because this thing is ridiculously powerful!

With just one [item], all attacks I receive will be reduced by 70%... What is this thing?

"This... this is too strong!"

"As expected of 'Nioh'!"

"They're actually giving out such powerful [items] as rewards?"

"Damn it, I should have run for office too!"

The cheers and shouts from the crowd rose and fell.

Even the members of 'Order' couldn't help but complain.

"Damn it, are all 'Tier 4' items this outrageous?"

Liang Ye exclaimed in horror, "Even without counting the 'Heart Domain,' this one [item] is already worth more than all the [items] I have!"

Yin Lan glanced at Liang Ye and said in a low voice, "The [props] you have aren't that valuable."

“Die, you ‘God of Wine’, do you have to insult me ​​like this?” Liangye said unhappily, then sighed, “This is really outrageous… I even want to be the president of this club.”

Ren Gu said, "This isn't actually the average level of 'Tier 4' items... but every 'Tier 4' player definitely has some items of this level."

Yin Lan nodded in agreement: "That's right. In other words... at first, I thought the rumor that 'Nioh' would give away its core [item] set as a reward was a joke or an exaggeration, or even just hearsay... but now it seems that it's not an exaggeration at all."

"He really brought out his core set of [props] - this [Immovable Mountain] is definitely one of his most crucial [props]."

Lin Yu frowned and said, "While I do think 'Niou' will definitely bring out some crucial [items]... these [items] are just too crucial, aren't they?"

"I remember a rumor that part of the reason he took out the [items] was because he planned to break through to the 'fifth rank'... Could it be that he doesn't need these to break through to the 'fifth rank'?"

Liang Ye also recalled this rumor and said, "Oh, could it be that he's confident of success?"

“That’s unlikely,” Ren Gu shook his head. “Judging from the intelligence revealed by the ‘General,’ there’s no danger if no one advances to the ‘Fifth Tier’…”

“However, the necessary condition for him to advance to the fifth rank might be something like ‘being put in a desperate situation to survive’,” Ren Gu said uncertainly. “I can only guess that way—after all, this is only the first [item]. Maybe he only took out one particularly crucial one like [Immovable as a Mountain], and the other four were just to make up the numbers.”

Meanwhile, the "Nioh" on the field seemed to be refuting Rengu's words. After Rengu finished speaking, he hung "Immovable as a Mountain" next to him and then took out another "item".

It was a rectangular metal shield.

"This is the second item I'm going to take out. It's called... the Indestructible Shield."
