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

"He calls himself 'Jiu Shui' and his occupation is 'Soldier'. He is impulsive, easily angered, and vindictive, but he is also quite thoughtful. He has unique insights when it comes to solving puzzles and using the 'rules of the game' to set traps. His potential is probably A+ to S-."

"During the actual game, they didn't see through my identity and purpose, but they discovered that I had been secretly observing them before, which caused me some trouble during the dungeon."

"My opinion is: if he passes the 'upgrade', he might be accepted into the organization."

In a detached villa on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

A girl in a swimsuit and a bath towel is sitting by the pool with a tablet in her hands.

Beside her, a soaked jacket and sweatpants were thrown aside.

After saving the file on the tablet, she dragged it into a group chat with eleven people and uploaded it.

Soon, many people appeared in the silent group chat of 11 people.

Magician: Is that the end of the evaluation? Pretty quick! [Thumbs up]

[Embarkantist - Xiaoyun: With an irritable personality and a grudge, she probably wouldn't join the Psychology Society, right? After all, the Psychology Society killed her.]

[AAA Building Materials Lao Wu: But be careful of the "order" snatching people away, after all, they are "soldiers"]

[Chef: S-'s 'Soldier'? No wonder the Psychology Society took him so seriously and sent him to Jiangcheng!]

Magician: Is this true? Even a master like me is only an A!

[Prisoner: Who do you think you are? You're just a worthless piece of shit being chased and beaten by the Sea City Administrator.]

AAA Building Materials' Lao Wu: Seriously, should we make an exception and invite him first? With that kind of potential, there's no way he wouldn't be able to "level up," right?

[Chef: Let's wait a little longer. With this kind of potential, maybe he can even "level up" in the eighth dungeon... maybe even the seventh—in that case, it'll only take a month or so!]

Magician: I agree with the God of Cooking [Flowers]

[Prisoner: I also think what the God of Cooking said makes sense. I can observe him for a while.]

[Embarkantist Xiaoyun: There's one thing I'm very concerned about. Why does he call himself "Jiu Shui"? After all, there are rumors that he's from Jiangcheng, and might even be the city's "administrator"!]

Magician: I think it’s just a coincidence [sweating]

[Chef: If this isn't a coincidence, then we're in big trouble! ]

[Braised Magikarp: Regardless of whether it's a coincidence or not, let's get in touch with him more during this period to confirm. It would be best to confirm his level-up time in the future and ensure that he won't join the "Order" side.]

After seeing the comments from the person named "Braised Magikarp" whose avatar was a Charmander, the girl picked up the tablet again.

Thief Ah Nian: That'll cost extra! This guy is dangerous to begin with, and now he's involved with the "Administrator." I can't do this job without extra pay!

[Braised Magikarp: No problem. I'll send you the "Exquisite Gloves" before the next dungeon.]

Looking at the message of "Braised Carp King", a smile appeared on the girl's lips.

She turned off the tablet and was in a very happy mood.

"Great! I even managed to snatch the 'Exquisite Gloves'! Carp must have spent a fortune..."

"But that kid is definitely worthy... I hope he can successfully pass the 'Upgrade'."

……

"As expected, the 'forum' seems to be deliberately concealing the news about 'leveling up'."

Lin Yu put down his phone.

After reading through the posts in the forum, Lin Yu confirmed one thing...

Although there are many posts and guides in the "forum", it is very rare to find mention of "leveling up".

Even if it is mentioned, it is only mentioned briefly and not elaborated in depth.

On the contrary, in many "bounty" commissions, there will be posts like "The next dungeon has started the 'trial', need help to get through it safely."

This made Lin Yu even more confused about what the "trial" was.

After confirming that he could not find any information by searching further, Lin Yu turned on his mobile phone.

After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to the contact named "Heqishengcai" in the list.

"Are you there?"

Within seconds, the tycoon replied.

"Oh, it's that 'new guy' who sold a bunch of props!"

"Congratulations on passing the second dungeon... Are there any more items for sale this time?"

Lin Yu looked at the tycoon's enthusiastic message and felt emotional.

He is indeed a "businessman" and treats "customers" with enthusiasm.

"Sorry, we don't have any props for sale this time."

"But, I have something I want to ask you."

Lin Yu edited the message and sent it over.

The tycoon replied quickly.

"Okay, what do you want to know?"

"If there's something you can't discuss online, you can always come to the 'restaurant' to see me."

"But when you come here, be sure to hide yourself."

Lin Yu looked at the news about the "tycoon" and thought for a moment.

"Okay, I'll be there later."

So far, Tycoon is the most trustworthy "player" he has met.

Although it is late at night, all the players have just returned from the dungeon and basically will not run around.

For Lin Yu, this is the best time to get active.

So Lin Yu quickly changed his clothes, covered his face, and walked out of the house.

This time, he didn't ride his own bike, but instead scanned a shared bike and went out.

Shared bicycles are not as smooth to ride as your own bicycle. It took Lin Yu some time to reach Changming Street where he had been before.

After returning the shared bicycle, Lin Yu walked to the vicinity of the "abandoned restaurant".

Just as Lin Yu was about to find a way to open the door again, the window on the second floor suddenly opened.

"Boy, come up."

A man in a bright blue suit stood by the window, lowering a hanging metal ladder.

Lin Yu looked at the ladder, stunned for a moment, then climbed up using his hands and feet, stepped on the windowsill and jumped into the house.

After Lin Yu entered the house, the tycoon closed the window and Lin Yu took off his mask.

He returned to this luxurious office again.

The tycoon turned around and took out some loose tea leaves in a plastic bag from the cabinet and brewed them for Lin Yu, making a "please" gesture.

"Sit down, boy! What do you want to know? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You came to me right after finishing the dungeon... What happened? Did something happen in the dungeon?"

Looking at the calm tycoon, Lin Yu sat on the sofa, drank a sip of tea, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Something happened!"

Lin Yu acted as if he was conflicted and frightened, and spoke.

"Are you familiar with the 'Predators' and the 'Freedom Alliance'? They're the two organizations banned from the forum in the notice pinned at the top!"

"I met some of their people in the last dungeon. They seemed a bit difficult to deal with... and I even offended one of them. Will I get into trouble?"
