Chapter 485 The Captain's Area of Expertise
With Lao Zheng's help, the [Mind-Seeing Mirror] will definitely not be able to see Lin Yu's emotions.
This is why the other party was surprised.
But what makes Lin Yu curious is...
Why does the other party possess the [Mind-Seeing Mirror].
Although this is indeed a [prop] produced by the "Truth Company", and although it is a relatively rare "concept-level" product with only a few prototypes not yet put into production, it is not surprising that NPCs in this world possess such a thing.
But Lin Yu still couldn't help but doubt...
"Could this guy be a player?"
After all, the other party's code name is "Zhu Rong"...
This was a "player" code name that Lin Yu had heard of before - when he went to Haicheng before, the buyer who bought the mysterious carrots from Uncle Carrot was called this name!
Lin Yu didn't think this was a complete coincidence.
But if the other party is a player, isn't this his own single-player copy? Why would he encounter other players?
Do you want to test the other party?
Do you want to reveal your player identity to the other party?
Lin Yu thought quickly, but decided to let nature take its course.
Even if he wanted to reveal to the other party that he was a player, he certainly wouldn't do it in front of the other two.
But... he could give some hints.
"You can call me 'Poirot,'" Lin Yu said calmly. "As for my expertise... I know a little bit about everything."
Lin Yu said this while quietly observing Zhu Rong's movements.
However, the other party's expression was normal and he did not reveal any flaws.
"The other party was also in Haicheng before, and was a buyer of 'radish'. Even if he doesn't know anything about mystery novels, it's impossible that he hasn't heard about 'Forboluo's' activities," Lin Yu thought, "So... maybe it really is a coincidence?"
Although the name "Zhu Rong" definitely originated from the real world, Lin Yu was very clear that as the "Death Game" continued to allow people from his world to enter the Ten Realms as "players", it had already had an impact on different worlds.
Even these worlds have long been connected to each other - for example, he found the wine produced by Kirishima Manor on the train before.
"Of course, it's also possible that this guy is just too slow... Tsk, if I had known earlier, I would have inquired about Zhu Rong's information..."
Lin Yu was complaining in his heart, but the guy in the riveted jacket started to make a fuss.
"You know a little bit about everything? What a big statement! So, you mean... assassination, combat, repair, hacking, alchemy, all those common mercenary skills, you've dabbled in them?"
Lin Yu recalled his [props] reserves and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, but on the other hand, I'm not particularly good at anything."
He retreated so calmly in order to advance, and although his tone was still arrogant, the content of his words was impeccably modest, which made it difficult for the bone spur to flare up.
"Then I hope you won't hold us back!"
"I'll try my best," Lin Yu said calmly, "But who is our mission target?"
"Well, actually, we don't know yet," Daqiu said embarrassedly, "but you've come at the perfect time. The captain will be here soon to explain the details of the commission to us personally."
"team leader?"
Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"Yes," Big Ball said cheerfully, "The captain appointed by the employer himself is, according to Black Snake, a master!"
Bone Spur snorted again, "I don't think so. Those middlemen always like to exaggerate. When I get here, I'll test his strength!"
Then he stopped talking.
Lin Yu also sat on the sofa near the door, closed his eyes and began to rest, and communicated with Lao Zheng.
"Do you know that Zhurong?"
“I feel like a player.”
Old Zheng's voice rang out, "It's hard to say. Her anti-perception is quite strong... and the method she just demonstrated is also inherent in this world."
"Then let me ask this another way. Is the probability of running into other players high in the 'Personal Trial' dungeon?"
"Normally, the chances are very small. Theoretically, you might encounter other players playing the dungeon normally, or even 'Level 3' players wandering the Ten Realms, but the 'Death Game' should help you avoid them," Old Zheng said calmly. "But you're too esoteric. Low-probability events are very likely to happen to you."
Hearing Lao Zheng's answer, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, then let's treat them as players..."
Lin Yu thought quietly.
More than ten minutes passed.
The door of the box was pushed open again, and Lin Yu opened his eyes.
The new person who walked in was a tall and handsome young man.
He was wearing a smart white trench coat, jackboots and a beret.
But this guy's eyes looked a little dull, as if he had 800 degrees of astigmatism and forgot to wear glasses when he went out - this was very abnormal, because someone with his dress and temperament should usually have extremely sharp eyes.
He scanned the four people present with his dead fish eyes, then spoke with a smile.
"You guys are here to apply for the mercenary position, right? You look like you're the real deal."
Bone Spur was the first to stand up: "You are the captain? Who are you? What makes you confident that you can be our captain!"
He glanced at the bone spur.
"You don't need to know my origins. As for why I can be your captain... come here."
He hooked his finger at Bone Spur, who snorted coldly, took off his riveted jacket and threw it on the sofa.
Bone Spur was wearing a black sleeveless vest underneath, revealing his thin but muscular body.
At the same time, there were pale silver threads on his arms half-buried in the skin.
"Active metal electrodes... a technology from the Universal Chamber of Commerce, and it's the fourth generation!"
Big Ball exclaimed.
Bone Spur looked at him unkindly, "You might have read our profile and know I'm a 'gunman'... But, I've made a name for myself on Gray Third Street not only because I'm exceptionally skilled with firearms, but also because fighting is no weakness!"
He jumped over the table with ease and landed in front of the captain.
The captain in a white windbreaker adjusted his hat and then smiled.
"It seems you have misunderstood me..."
He reached behind his waist and quickly pulled something out.
"Shh!"
Seeing this action that seemed like drawing a gun, Bone Spur's face changed subconsciously, and he suddenly prepared to rush forward and knock the captain down.
But just as he was about to touch the captain, Bone Spur's movement stopped.
The captain took out five golden hard "papers" from his waist.
This is also known as the "Gold Point Voucher", a "commemorative product" for the nobility issued by the Universal General Chamber of Commerce ten years ago.
This is a physical "asset point" redemption voucher, each with a face value of 1000 points.
"I'm not really good at fighting, but... I'm my employer's trusted confidant."
He stuffed five sheets of paper into Bone Spur's hand and took out fifteen more with a smile.
"This is my welcome gift to you. It's extra and doesn't count as your compensation. Come, everyone has a share."
