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

Listening to what Yin Lan said, Lin Yu gained a basic understanding of the image of "Nioh".

"In other words, this 'Nioh' not only usually acts alone, but may also suddenly make some unexpected decisions that the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' will not expect?"

"I heard he was going to give his own set of props to the new president. I thought he was a meticulous and scheming person."

Lin Yu also directly stated his judgment.

Yin Lan shook her head: "If he were that kind of person, why wouldn't he become the president himself?"

“If ‘Nioh’ were to propose that he should be the chairman himself, he probably wouldn’t even need to go through the election process; he could be elected with a unanimous vote.”

"In fact, it was precisely because Niou made it clear that he did not want to be the next king that this election came about."

Hearing Yin Lan say this, Lin Yu became even more convinced.

"Comrade 'Dionysus,' you seem to have a pretty good relationship with 'Nioh'?"

Although Yin Lan hadn't mentioned it before, she was somewhat surprised when Lin Yu pointed it out, but she didn't continue to hide it.

"I teamed up with him to do a few dungeons when I was in Tier 2 and when I first entered Tier 3. We have some acquaintance, but I wouldn't call us close."

Upon hearing this, the other members of "Order" also showed expressions of surprise, clearly hearing it for the first time as well.

"Comrade 'Dionysus' actually has this kind of connection?"

Ren Gu said unexpectedly.

Yin Lan remained calm: "I did report it to the organization, but it wasn't included as public intelligence or information..."

Lin Yu pressed further, "So, it was 'Niou' himself who told you that he had no intention of competing for the chairmanship?"

Yin Lan nodded: "Yes, he also consulted me about this matter... After all, he also thought that since he is indeed the strongest, it would be better for him to take on the responsibilities he wants."

"I neither supported him nor rejected him at the time; I just let him think it through himself."

Liang Ye finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Damn it, you're not just unfamiliar with him, you're not even 'somewhat acquainted' with him—he's even asking you for advice on this kind of thing! You should have said so sooner!"

Yin Lan shook her head: "In my opinion, there's no need to mention this at all..."

Lin Yu looked at Yin Lan and also sensed some of Yin Lan's unspoken thoughts.

This strongest "third-tier" of "Order" doesn't really care about so-called "fourth-tier" connections, because according to what she's heard, she should be able to enter the "fourth tier" and open her "heart domain" at any time.

On the other hand, she is indeed one of the few members of "Order" who would doubt other members of "Order"—probably because she heard something from "Professor" and "Secretary," Yin Lan does not unconditionally trust other members of "Order."

So, the reason she's willing to talk about this now is probably because her team has gained some kind of "initial trust" in solving the "Ice Americano" murder case.

"As expected, although 'Dionysus' is very vigilant, he is easily 'trusted'..."

Lin Yu thought about it.

This pattern about Yin Lan is even more useful than the information she provided about "Nioh".

Of course, information about "Nioh" is equally crucial.

Although Yin Lan recognized 'Nioh's' voice, 'Nioh' himself did not emphasize or reveal his identity, and continued to read out the program as if he were just an ordinary host.

Lin Yu looked around and saw that a small number of members of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" recognized "Nioh's" identity, but the proportion was small and they were probably all "veterans" and "experts" of the "Player Mutual Aid Association".

They didn't make a fuss about it; at most, they whispered a few words to those around them, telling the news to people they trusted and were close to.

Therefore, most people in the audience probably didn't know that the person speaking was "Niou," and naturally, there was no disturbance or shock.

This is probably what Nioh would have wanted to see.

His deep voice rang out.

"Well then... in accordance with yesterday's draw order, please welcome the first candidate, 'Mikan,' to the stage."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Mikan walked down the stairs—as one of the three top candidates and the first to appear in the draw, she naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Yu had already met the two popular candidates, Shang Gen and Monica, neither of whom were particularly outstanding in appearance.

Even most of the candidates Lin Yu had seen were not very good-looking.

However, Mikan alone significantly raised the average attractiveness of the candidates.

The woman was bright and beautiful with a slender and graceful figure. She wore a long pinkish-purple dress that resembled a blooming peony, and her features were so exquisite that she looked like a movie star. She looked refreshingly new.

Her face alone is probably enough to explain why she is a "top candidate".

Although everyone may feel that they need to take the "president election" seriously and not let their appearance influence their judgment.

But... given that Mikan herself has a good campaign platform and can be a legitimate voting candidate, who can really ignore the first impression she makes because of her beautiful appearance?

Subconsciously, people tend to give more preferential treatment and tolerance to beautiful people.

“This person is indeed very good-looking,” Lin Yu frankly admitted the other person’s beauty, but he was not affected by it much. “But it’s a pity… If someone with such high looks wants to act, their roles will be very narrow… Not only will they be easily labeled as a ‘pretty face’ by the audience, but it will also be difficult for agencies and directors to give them scripts that are truly challenging to perform.”

"Moreover, it would probably take a tremendous amount of effort to overcome the deep impression brought by this face and immerse people in the character."

Lin Yu silently commented in his heart, even feeling a little sorry for the other party.

after all……

According to the information, Mikan's profession is also that of an actress.

However, after thinking all this through, Lin Yu suddenly realized...

The other party's career plan may not necessarily require "acting seriously".

Although "Death Game" gave her the title of "profession" of "actress," there are many types of actors.

Idol actors are also a type of actor.

In fact, many of Lin Yu's senior classmates followed the same path.

Sometimes, being born beautiful doesn't require honing one's acting skills to achieve success.

Especially in this day and age, the probability of being able to "monetize" a good-looking face is unprecedented.

And the moment Mikan began her speech on stage, Lin Yu was convinced...

"This guy is definitely not the type to diligently hone his acting skills."

Although speeches and performances are not the same thing, they do have something in common because they both involve the word "performance".

Whether it's a speech or a performance, it needs to be able to evoke emotions in the audience.

Body language, facial expressions... and most importantly, the ability to deliver lines, including tone of voice.

Even the best speech will struggle to resonate with the audience if the speaker is listless and lacks passion.

Lin Yu could also learn this from observing the promotion of tangerines...

Although this girl's speech was well-written, her "skill in delivering lines" and "ability to evoke emotions"... while not terrible, they didn't strike Lin Yu as particularly profound or exquisite.

Lin Yu didn't think that this person had put in much effort in acting.

Lin Yu was slightly disappointed by this.

As for the content of Mikan's presentation... Lin Yu himself wasn't very interested.

He had already seen Mikan's campaign platform in the materials, and there were various promotional slogans, posters, and videos playing on a loop at the booth. At this moment, the other party's presentation was also focused on playing it safe, without bringing up any new highlights.

Of course, for Mikan, playing it safe might be enough.

Her outstanding personal image means that even if she just reads her own slogan once, it will probably have a good effect.

At least in the 'Order' rest area, 'Dionysus', 'Human Valley', and 'Paper Kite' all seem to have a good impression of her.

of course……

The most obvious reaction came from "Good Night".

“She’s really beautiful… If I remember correctly, out of the three ‘hot candidates,’ she’s probably the ‘cleanest,’” Liang Ye thought to himself. “Why don’t we just support her? She’s definitely better than ‘Shang Gen’ and ‘Monica’ taking the top spot!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone naturally knew that Captain Liangye's brain had once again been controlled by instinct.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Captain Liangye,” Yin Lan said bluntly, “this ‘Mikan’ may not actually be without problems.”

Rengu nodded and said, "Even if there is really no problem, we can't do that... We might be able to prevent certain specific candidates from becoming president, but we absolutely cannot interfere by appointing someone as president."

Paper Kite did offer some support to Good Night.

“In my investigation, this ‘Mikan’ doesn’t seem to have any problems… She and her core team are basically people who can be considered ‘good people’.”

Liang Ye's eyes lit up: "Beautiful and kind-hearted, damn, really great!"

Yin Lan and Ren Gu sighed as they listened to Liang Ye's words, and decided to give up trying to persuade him.

After all, the two had already figured out some of Liang Ye's temperament and knew that he was mostly talking nonsense.

While the others in 'Order' continued to focus on 'Mikan' on the stage, Lin Yu had already quietly turned his attention to the area near the main exhibition stand.

The core members of Mikan's campaign team were basically waiting there at that moment.

"Su Muzhe"... or rather, "pen name," is naturally among them.

She noticed Lin Yu's gaze, waved gently, and greeted him.

Then, Lin Yu noticed...

Zuo Xi pointed calmly to the shortest, most inconspicuous member of the team and mouthed the words "I don't know what to say."

Lin Yu recognized what the other person was saying.

"Mercenary".
