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

Chapter 1371 Escape Route and Safe House

Upon hearing the "God of Cookery's" analysis, Lin Yu, who had seen the ranking list sent by Shen Bingmiao herself, naturally realized what was going on...

"Liu," ranked eighth among the "Fourth Tier" members, belongs to the "Hunter's Guild."

The "mercenary" likely refers to the 23rd ranked "Tier 3" and "All-Round Mercenary King"—a name that sounds like someone who loves taking on freelance jobs.

However, Lin Yu could not pretend that he knew these two guys well—both of them were anonymous on the leaderboard.

So Lin Yu pretended to ask, "Can these two people together be as good as a 'fortune teller'?"

“Of course not. ‘Liu’ is a ‘fourth-tier’ player, and ‘Mercenary’ is a top-tier ‘third-tier’ player,” the Chef God analyzed. Clearly, he was quite knowledgeable about the situation of the various organizations in the ‘Free Alliance’ and was also keen on collecting intelligence. “Although the difference is not significant, it’s not the difference between an amateur player and a superstar. In fact, ‘Liu’ might even be considered a superstar, and ‘Mercenary’ might be considered a top-tier star. But compared to a powerhouse like ‘The Diviner’ who is far ahead, there is definitely a difference.”

"This intelligence is even considered firsthand, because one of our organization's 'fourth-tier' members has been beaten up by the 'diviner' and has also fought with 'Liu'. This is the conclusion they reached."

As the chef spoke, Lin Yu looked at the "comedian".

The comedian shook his head: "It's not me. I'd be killed if I faced a 'fortune teller'."

“Then it seems it can only be Boss Fang Qing,” Lin Yu said, “because you and Lao Wu… should be about the same strength, right?”

The comedian was quite surprised: "You're clever, my friend."

“Actually, Qingzi should have tested all the ‘fourth-tier’ members except for ‘The Tycoon’,” Old Zhou dropped a bombshell. “I heard from Old Wu that Fang Qing himself has completed the anonymous part of the ‘fourth-tier’ ranking list.”

When the comedian heard Lao Zhou reveal the information, he no longer hid it: "That's true. According to the calculation, 'Liu' should be ranked eighth or tenth, at a similar level to 'Heavenly King'."

“I haven’t met the mercenary, but the fishing guy has been matched with him in the same [dungeon] three or four times. Although we didn’t fight, the fishing guy was quite impressed with him,” Chef God continued, “and some of my other friends have also mentioned that... that guy is very ‘all-rounder’—although most of the time everyone calls him ‘mercenary,’ his real code name is ‘All-Round Mercenary King.’”

"This code name... seems to be no joke after all."

"If these two people are combined, although it might not be as effective as the 'Diviner' coming directly, the 'Order' side will definitely be disgusted."

The culinary master deduced.

“I see,” Lin Yu said, stroking his chin. “So, do you think the reinforcements that the ‘Raiders’ hired were most likely those two?”

"After all, there aren't many experts. If I had to say... it might be either those two or that mysterious 'conception' and 'pen name.' If 'pen name' gets involved, Qianhuan will find out."

The comedian opened his mouth.

Qianhuan shook her head: "Pen name won't get involved. She... well, anyway, although she does have a reason to come to Shenzhen, she probably won't side with 'The Raiders'."

Qianhuan seemed to have some reservations halfway through her sentence and didn't finish her thought.

Xiaoyun added, "He probably won't come up with any 'ideas' either. He's very lazy—no, it shouldn't be called lazy, it would be more appropriate to say he's 'reclusive'."

Lin Yu wasn't too concerned. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Then... what about 'Feng Shui Masters'?"

"He's ranked seventh on the open-ended leaderboard, a 'fourth-tier' expert. Why not consider the possibility that he might be helping the 'Raiders'?"

The comedian was somewhat surprised: "You didn't know? Oh, right, you really probably didn't know!"

"After all, you joined around the same time as Anian."

The comedian sighed, and Lin Yu became somewhat curious.

"What do I not know?"

Qianhuan spoke leisurely: "'Feng Shui Master' is not only the seventh-ranked player in the open card game, but also the enemy of 'Diviner' in the open card game."

"Although he's only seventh, this guy's threat to 'diviners' might be no less than that of 'grandmasters'—because he genuinely spends every day researching how to annoy 'diviners'."

"This guy once posted a 10,000-word article on the forum analyzing the 'Diviner's' [Item] set, common abilities, and countermeasures—of course, it was taken down after it was posted, probably because it was collected by 'Order' internally."

The comedian nodded: "That's right. This guy used to deliberately choose to queue up for the 'Diviner's' [Instance] to annoy the 'Diviner' - but later the 'Diviner' grew too fast and completely overwhelmed him in terms of direct strength, so he has only restrained himself for the past six months."

"However, it's also very possible that they're planning something big."

The God of Cookery laughed: "In short, although the 'Feng Shui Master' is not exactly a 'good person' in the strictest sense, and his stance is not entirely consistent with 'Order,' if he comes to Shenzhen, he will definitely not be on the side of the 'Raiders'... In fact, for the 'Raiders,' it will be absolutely terrible news."

As everyone analyzed the situation, Lin Yu once again memorized this valuable piece of information.

Are feng shui masters actually the mortal enemies of fortune tellers?

This is indeed good news, and it's also news that can be used.

"In short, we really need to be most wary of 'Liu' and the 'Fourth Order' of the 'Psychological Society'."

Seeing Lin Yu's thoughtful expression, the comedian suddenly slapped his thigh and said belatedly, "Hey, Zhu Ming, you're asking such detailed questions, are you asking on behalf of the 'director'?"

"Oh no, we, the 'Freedom Alliance,' are the ones who are actually helping 'Order' analyze the situation."

The comedian said in an exaggerated tone.

However, he clearly didn't just realize it at first.

Halfway through our conversation, everyone had already vaguely guessed Zhu Ming's thoughts.

It's just that nobody cares.

Anyway, although "Order" is opposed to "Freedom Alliance" in terms of its stance...

The two sides had even fought a duel and competed for items in the "Land of Desperation".

But if you ask the members of the "Freedom Alliance," they actually have no problem with the "Order" organization.

They are simply being guarded against and on guard by the "order" on one side only!

Moreover, they were helping the "Director" through the "Zhu Ming" connection—although they might actually be helping "Order" analyze the situation, but these guys clearly didn't care.

After all, after the "Director" personally went to the Gray Area and brought Li Nian back last time, the people of the "Freedom Alliance" no longer cared about the organization he belonged to.

and so……

Through this, Lin Yu reaffirmed their stance.

"As expected, if the situation really gets out of control... even if the 'Freedom Alliance' comes directly as the 'director,' they should be able to get protection."

While Lin Yu was pondering, Qian Huan even took the initiative to speak.

"Zhu Ming, you always tell us to be careful and cautious because this situation is very complicated and dangerous, but actually your situation... or rather, your situation and the 'director's' situation are much more dangerous than ours, aren't they?"

Qian Huan said in a low voice.

“We’re just outsiders here to join in the fun. With ‘Comedian’ here, and the rest of us being quite strong, as long as we don’t go too far, neither ‘Order’ nor ‘Raiders’ should want to offend us first and push us to the opposite side, given that the confrontation has already begun.”

“But… the ‘director’s’ position is inextricably linked to ‘order,’ and you’re going to help the ‘director,’ so shouldn’t we be more worried about you than you worry about us?”

Lin Yu laughed: "Yes, that's how it is in theory...that's why I came to find you."

"If you're safe... I'll also have a way out, won't I?"

“Even though the ‘director’ isn’t one of our members, having you here means he’ll have more options in times of crisis.”

"Of course, I admit that this is my selfish and selfish thought... Logically speaking, the life or death of the 'director' has nothing to do with you."

"But I still hope that if he really needs your help, I implore you all to lend a hand."

Lin Yu spoke his mind directly without hiding anything.

After all, having been a member of the "Freedom Alliance" for so long and dealing with these people for so long, Lin Yu had already realized...

When interacting with them, sincerity is the key to success.

No lies or performances are needed; simply stating your true thoughts is enough.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Old Zhou nodded and said in a low voice, "I believe you will be fine, Zhu Ming—but in case of any unforeseen circumstances, you can also completely trust us."

"Although the 'Director' is a guy from 'Order,' in my opinion, he is first and foremost someone very important to you, secondly the guy who saved Anian last time, and only lastly a member of 'Order'!"

Qian Huan laughed: "Besides, I have a pretty good impression of that 'director' guy. Although he's a bit obsessive, he's neither humble nor arrogant... which is quite good."

The chef crossed his arms and said, "What are you saying? If the 'designer's' girlfriend is in trouble, we'll lend a hand too—the 'Psychological Society' and 'Order' are secondary."

"The 'Freedom Alliance' has 'freedom' written in its name, so why are you getting hung up on these rules and regulations... You're seriously underestimating us!"

Xiaoyun also said softly, "I have no objection either, and... if you two attract a lot of damned guys, I would be happy to see that."

The group of people expressed their opinions and stated their positions one by one.

Finally, the comedian wrapped things up.

"Don't worry, if you encounter any danger, just run this way and tell me... Once I get there, even a 'fortune teller' can't touch you."

However, before Lin Yu could express his gratitude, Old Zhou began to question him.

"Can you really withstand the 'fortune teller'?"

The comedian laughed heartily, revealing a confident expression.

"I'm at least a 'fourth-tier' level. If the 'Diviner' really wants to fight me with all his might..."

"I'm sure I can at least hold out until Fang Qing comes to rescue me, right?"
