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

The "corpse" in front of me looked frozen solid, and must have been dead for some time.

This information, combined with the information about the "vendor," is something you'll get at the very beginning of the game.

There is no doubt that the body died before he met the rough uncle.

As a result, Lin Yu couldn't help but have new thoughts.

"So what was that NPC I met earlier?"

He felt a little bit of a chilling fear.

At the same time, Lin Yu also had strong doubts about whether the NPC had good intentions!

That thing might not even be a person, and even if most of what he says is helpful, there might be one or two deadly lies mixed in.

Combined with this point, the second "upgrade task" has a bit of a hint meaning.

"The 'cheat' is most likely not a specific player... but a 'something' in this game..."

Lin Yu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

The feeling of fear was fleeting, replaced by a sense of helplessness.

"'Competition', 'Puzzle', 'Survival'... I've already seen three of the four types of dungeons. Why do I have to fight against the game itself in every one of them?! I have to figure out the authenticity of the rules of these two or three myself!"

It would be fine if there was no forum, but Lin Yu went to the forum to look up the guide.

He knew very well that most of the NPCs people encountered in the game and the "in-game rules" that appeared were rarely misleading.

Puzzle-type copies may be slightly more misleading, but not always.

Now it’s good for me...

"So, apart from the first words you enter the game, you have to be on guard everywhere."

Lin Yu sighed.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

No matter what secrets are hidden in this copy...

Was the first person he encountered a monster in disguise, a wandering ghost, twins, or a clone?

Now, he will continue to implement his first plan step by step.

Anyway, there is nothing to be found here no matter how hard you try to analyze it.

Lin Yu raised the torch, turned around and walked into the wind and snow, leaving the stiff corpse.

The night is still long and cannot be wasted.

"Wait till I have all twelve professions, and wait for me... I don't care if you're Chat or Buffett..."

Lin Yu muttered and moved slowly forward in the darkness.

Although visibility was low in the wind and snow, it was not enough to make Lin Yu get lost.

After all, his years of performing in dramas had given him a very precise grasp of his stride length, and the "strongholds" on the map weren't far apart...

Lin Yu can constantly correct his direction by checking how far he has walked and whether he has encountered any strongholds.

At least Lin Yu could be sure based on what he had seen so far that the map given by the NPC, a rough uncle of unknown origin, had not been tampered with.

Soon, Lin Yu arrived at the next "fan-shaped area".

But the difference is...

This time he found no signs of human activity in the base near the "center point" of this fan-shaped area.

Lin Yu had just entered this fan-shaped area when he discovered a wooden house with lights on in the windows at the "edge".

Holding a torch, he quickly arrived at the entrance of the stronghold.

"Dong dong!"

Lin Yu knocked on the door.

Soon, a strong man opened the door a crack.

"Who is it?"

Lin Yu saw the man behind the door holding an iron rod and looking at him vigilantly.

Seeing the other party's vigilant look, Lin Yu quickly spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm a player—a player!"

"What's there for players to be assured of?" the man said coldly. "Didn't you receive the NPC's warning? Wandering around at night and traveling with others is very dangerous!"

The dark eyes behind the crack in the door remained alert.

"I got it—don't worry, I just asked a question!"

"I don't know what your profession is, but I'm a 'teacher'—I'm also an English teacher in real life!"

"What evil could possibly be in the profession of 'teacher'?"

"I have obtained some key information that is useful to all players and that you would be wise to know, and I want to share it with you!"

Lin Yu said calmly.

But it was night after all, and the man was still a little skeptical.

""teacher"?"

"Yes, 'Teacher', my forum ID is 'Lao Xu', you can just call me Xiao Xu!"

The man looked Lin Yu up and down.

"You don't look that old, and your temperament is different too!"

Lin Yu quickly said, "I'm not the kind of middle school or elementary school teacher you think I am. I'm a teacher at an after-school tutoring institution! I specialize in teaching spoken English!"

"Lord, whatfoolsthesemortalsbe!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu quoted a famous line from Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

It was actually a very classic line. Lin Yu had just seen it once before entering this copy.

Therefore, speaking with standard pronunciation and fluctuating and infectious emotions can make men believe it instantly.

"A very standard cockney accent... and that part just now was from William Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', right? Your tutoring institution is of quite high standard."

As the man spoke, the crack in the door opened a little wider, revealing his thin face, who looked to be in his early thirties.

He was wearing professional snow goggles on his face and a cold-proof down jacket from the well-known and expensive Goose brand.

Lin Yu had just caught a glimpse of the other person's clothes through the crack in the door, so he deliberately said that he was an English teacher.

The man, who acted like a social elite, continued speaking.

"Xiao Xu, right? You can call me 'Karen'. I'm a member of the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association' and a 'lawyer' by profession."

"Do you have anything you'd like to share?"

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

At this moment, the "Teacher" profession came true, and a prompt message about this game appeared in his mind.

"Chat is not 'alive'. Being alone will only reduce the chances of being discovered by Chat."

Looking at this information, Lin Yu was shocked, but he did not show it.

He spoke to Karen.

"Brother Karen, this is what happened—did you encounter a bearded NPC at the beginning who claimed to be 'treasure hunting'?"

He said and Karen nodded slightly.

"Yes... That's right, is there any problem?"

Karen asked, confused.

Lin Yu also confirmed this through Karen's answer.

The NPC that all of them encounter is likely to be the same.

So, Lin Yu answered: "It's like this, Brother Karen, each of us encountered a similar NPC - and the initial information he gave was mixed with a piece of false information!"
