Chapter 841: Clearance, Schreiber’s reputation!
【Congratulations on passing the game "Holy Day"! 】
[The game rewards are being calculated for you! ]
[You have obtained the basic reward: 7 days of survival time.]
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief in the [Settlement Space].
"Wow...it's so thrilling and exciting."
Although seemingly unharmed, even Gary Townes, who appeared last, showed no malicious intent.
But Lin Yu knew that if he dragged on, the situation would definitely not be in his favor.
Operating in Night Vale for a while under the watchful eye of Gary Towntes... what a joke!
There was no way Lin Yu would leave his life and property to the "judgment" of a stranger.
After all, if he really agreed to Gary Towntes's plan and survived in Night Vale, what would he do if he encountered any unexpected changes?
At that time, in order to survive, I will have to reveal more of my cards - what if Gary Townsend thinks "this boy must not be kept"?
After all, he had used the [Third Pillar Origin Magic Crystal], which was obviously an [item] belonging to the high-ranking people in the abyss, and even made the Ninth Pillar of the Abyss show a certain goodwill towards him.
Therefore, Lin Yu would rather "snatch food from the opponent's mouth" and force his way through the [copy].
And to do this...
Lin Yu naturally relies on [narrative trick]!
By using the [Narrative Trick] to modify cognition, Gary Towntes mistakenly believed that the [Ancient Notes] was the [Book of Hell] - just as Lin Yu expected, the [Professional Props] distributed by the "Death Game" were indeed so effective that even a high-ranking powerhouse like Gary Towntes could not be immune to its effects.
Even because the status of the "Ancient Notes" is quite high and Gary Townes has a certain degree of trust in himself, the cost of this cognitive distortion is not too high.
When Gary Towntes' attention was attracted by the [Ancient Notes], Lin Yu used the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch] to refresh the [Narrative Trick] and performed a second cognitive distortion.
This time, he wanted Gary Tangtes to ignore the existence of the snake under his feet.
then……
He took this opportunity to have Hannah bring the [Empty Bottle] and the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch] to the Serpentborn.
Use the [Empty Bottle] to absorb all the magic power from the snake, including the magic restriction that Gary Tangtes had quietly planted on it.
The restriction disappeared silently, and coupled with cognitive distortion, Gary Townsend didn't notice this at all!
And next...
It is to use the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch] to extract the soul of the snakeborn and let it die completely.
The Snakeborn was already seriously injured and dying, and after all of his magic power was absorbed by the [Void Bottle], he was devoured by the pocket watch with almost no resistance.
This would also mean that even after Gary Towntes ended his "cognitive distortion", he would not be able to detect how Lin Yu had silently taken the life of the Snake Clan.
The chain of tactics, coupled with the constant display of weakness towards the enemy, would allow Lin Yu to find a flaw and achieve his goal, even if the opponent was strong and agile enough, almost a human being standing at the pinnacle of Night Valley.
And this also brings quite generous rewards!
Even if you haven't seen what kind of [item] rewards this [copy] gives you, the rewards within the [copy] alone are generous enough to be obtained through striving.
On the [Social] panel, there was a new person named Netssanchi, a native who was considered a top-notch strongman in Night Vale. Because of the existence of the "Demon Contract", this could almost be regarded as a powerful subordinate in Night Vale!
This is also the reason why Lin Yu chose to use the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch] to kill the Snake Clan. In addition to the fact that using the pocket watch to collect a soul is indeed silent and almost the most likely method of face-to-face assassination, another important reason is that Lin Yu did not want to leave Gary Tontice any possibility of tracking Netssanchi.
Lin Yu doesn't want such a useful subordinate to be targeted by Gary Towntes.
In addition to Netssanchi, there are two [items] that Gary Tontice upgraded for free - [One-shot Revolver] becomes [Guaranteed Hit Revolver], and the number of spare bullets becomes six rounds per 24 hours.
Moreover, if the bullets are used up within 24 hours, you can consume magic power to refill the "spare pills" - although the cooling time of this "spare bullet" is one week, it is much stronger than before.
But with six rounds of spare bullets every day and six rounds every week, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh that Gary was really powerful and generous!
The enhancement of the [One-Sentence Lie Detector] can also be seen directly from the change of the item name.
It became a [Three-Minute Lie Detector].
Although this is not very useful for Lin Yu, it is still a very good improvement.
Lin Yudu felt a certain amount of guilt towards Gary Towntes - the old man was a good person, but it was a pity that they had different stances.
In addition, the [Empty Bottle] was filled with a large amount of magic power, and the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch] seemed to be very energetic after eating a lot and became closer to Lin Yu. These were two good gains.
"As expected, high risk, high reward. Although first it was the 'Sinful Ghost' and then 'Gary Duntius', each of them is a presence I can't compete with head-on, but the returns from defrauding people like this are also very high!"
"And... the biggest gain is actually the identity of 'Schreiber'. It's established with just one [copy]!"
Sure enough, in the [settlement space], seeing Lin Yu's figure appear, A Yu's surprised voice rang out.
"Hey, Schreiber, you're okay!"
"Then Lao Deng didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
Hearing Ah Yu's words, Lin Yu looked at her, smiled and said, "Sister Yu, you worry too much. Your master is a very nice person. He just chatted with me for a while and gave me some gifts."
Ah Yu was surprised: "He just talked to you for a while and then let you go?"
"No, it's not that he let me go," Lin Yu said modestly, smiling, "I just used some tricks to kill the snake without him noticing."
"what?"
A Yu was a little surprised.
Not only A Yu, but also Huang, Qi Ge and Kui showed surprised expressions after hearing Lin Yu's words.
"You mean, while Gary Dantes was controlling the 'Snakeborn', you somehow managed to kill it right under his nose?"
Huang asked back.
Aoi also smiled faintly and said, "To be able to deceive a powerful person at the level of the Chosen One, this is no small trick, my friend, Schreiber... you are a little too modest."
"It's hard to imagine that someone like you has never been famous!"
