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

Chapter 487 Great Achievements and Mission Difficulty

"Add money, no problem!"

The captain heard Zhu Rong's words and spoke with a smile.

"One hundred thousand, how about that?"

"One hundred thousand asset points?"

Bone Spur said in surprise.

This is a number that is enough for them to never have to work in this industry again after they finish this job!

With this money, and even with a little investment, you might be able to buy yourself a second-class citizen or even a non-hereditary baronial status and a house in the inner city!

The captain spoke with a smile.

"Yes, and...it's extra."

"If you complete it, you will receive a total reward of 15 points."

As he spoke, the captain shook the gold coupons in his hand, and the paper made a wonderful rustling sound.

Big Ball and Bone Spur are obviously tempted.

However, Zhu Rong showed no intention of agreeing.

"Not enough. If it's just the number... not enough."

As she spoke, the captain smiled and said, "Really? You want a reward other than points?"

"Yes, I need the materials: 'Copper of Hatred', 'Emerald Laurel', and 'Heart Stone'."

"If I find these materials, I can give up an extra 10 points - this should be cheaper than 10 points for you."

Zhu Rong spoke calmly, but the captain became a little uneasy.

He stared at Zhu Rong with his lifeless, dead fish eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face again.

"You want a copy of each of the three major companies' most valuable materials. This priceless item is worth more than 10 points to you, right?"

"And asking for three at once, isn't that a bit..."

Zhu Rong shook his head: "This is a method that is beneficial to both of us."

"I don't want you to know which of these three I need the most. At the same time... your employer probably doesn't want me to know which one is easiest for him to get, right?"

Zhu Rong said this and the captain smiled.

"That makes sense. I agree."

Lin Yu listened to the conversation between the two and analyzed it silently in his mind.

The possibility that this Zhu Rong is a player has increased again...

This guy's characteristic of asking for materials but not money is very similar to what a player would do.

And the captain was no simple person either - even though he was a close confidant of his employer, he didn't even need to ask for his employer's opinion when requesting such rare materials!

"How interesting! It's truly worthy of being my 'Upgraded' copy!"

Lin Yu sighed.

The captain looked at Lin Yu and the other two with a smile: "Does anyone else want to change their reward?"

Big Ball and Bone Spur hesitated for a moment, but ultimately remained silent.

On the one hand, getting 15 points in one go is enough for them to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives, and they can completely retire after making this investment.

On the other hand, it was because they really did not have the courage like Zhu Rong to bargain with the captain who was still holding the detonator button and ready to blow everyone to death at any time.

However, Lin Yu spoke up.

"I still have questions."

The captain looked at Lin Yu and noticed what he said.

"Do you have any questions?"

Lin Yu nodded and asked directly.

"Yes, since everyone's reaction is so strong, and you've also offered an additional reward of 10 points, I'd like to ask... What's so special about Art Mercury that it deserves such a high reward?"

His expression was extremely sincere.

"Who is this guy?"

After Lin Yu asked this, everyone in the box, including the captain, looked at Lin Yu as if he were a monster.

"Alter Mercury, don't you know?"

Bone Spur said in a fuss.

"Is he some one I must know?"

Lin Yu asked calmly.

The captain looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Are you really from the Great Wilderness?"

Lin Yu shrugged and did not answer the other party directly.

Daqiu recovered from his shock and introduced Art Mercury to Lin Yu.

"Alt Mercury is the older brother of the current patriarch, Allan Mercury. He was once the acting patriarch of the Mercury Family and the former chairman of the board of directors of the Divine Power Group. After his father's death fifty years ago, Allan Mercury inherited the title of Duke and became the new ruler of the Mercury Family and the Divine Power Group."

"But Alan Mercury disappeared in the Great Wilderness three years after taking over. So he was in charge of the Divine Power Group and the Mercury Family for five years—and during those five years, the Mercury Family prospered."

"The Qiu family, which once seemed slightly more powerful than the Mercury family, is now firmly under the Mercury family's thumb... You could say this is due to Allan's years of management, but in my opinion, the primary credit lies with Art's actions during those five years."

Lin Yu nodded and asked, "Then how did he become A-2 at Truth Company?"

Although he didn't know Art Mercury, Lin Yu still knew the basic common sense of the City That Never Sleeps.

The Buyetian family is in charge of the Truth Company, the Shuiyin family and the Qiu family jointly govern the Shenli Group, and the Universal General Chamber of Commerce is the territory of the Sorens family.

The Shenglan family is relatively neutral and has shares in all three major companies, but its main focus is on the City That Never Sleeps Council and governing other nobles.

Although the spheres of influence of the five royal noble families were not so clearly defined, even if relations between the companies were tense, it did not prevent the nobles from intermarrying and maintaining friendly exchanges with each other, and family members often went to work in the other two major companies.

But that only applies to the side branches or the younger generations in the direct line who are not valued.

How could someone like Art Mercury, the elder brother of the clan leader, who had even represented the clan leader's direct line of descent and was an old man over eighty years old, work at Truth Company?

"Is it because of a disagreement with Alan Mercury?"

Lin Yu asked, and the captain spoke in a low voice.

"It seems you really don't know anything."

"On the contrary, Allan and Art are blood relatives who have a very close relationship, a rare sight among the nobles," the captain continued, looking at Lin Yu with empty, dead fish eyes. "Forty years ago, after Allan Mercury took over the family and the Divine Power Group, Art Mercury took the initiative to leave the Divine Power Group to prevent anyone in the family from harboring second thoughts, and took a position at the Truth Company. This prevented anyone from using his name and banner to undermine the legitimacy of Allan Mercury's return."

Bone Spur heard this and said thoughtfully, "Yes, but I've also heard that Art Mercury did this simply to save his own life..."

"No, that's not the case."

The captain broke the bone spur, but he had no intention of explaining anything.

"Anyway, Art Mercury is such a legendary figure... Now you understand why they raised the price, right?"

Lin Yu nodded when he heard this.

"I understand their thinking, but I don't think there's any need for him to raise the price."

“Even if he once held a high position and was adept at political scheming, he is now just an old man on his deathbed. His great achievements in his youth will not change the hardness of his skull or increase the toughness of his heart skin.”

Lin Yu said calmly.

"To put it bluntly, killing him might not be as difficult as killing a gangster boss on Gray Third Street who worked his way up."
