"A more important mission?"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's description, Stiller was puzzled by this.
As a clone android, he had been designated for the "security chief" position from birth, so although the training and education he received included various aspects such as assassination, expulsion, and investigation, Stiller's self-definition and self-perception had always been very clear: he himself was a security personnel!
Even when he beca a team leader, even when doing dirty work for Paris, the essence did not change.
Therefore, Stiller found it hard to imagine why Lin Yu would say such a thing.
"Is there anything more important than protecting Director's safety?"
He asked instinctively, and Lin Yu shook his head.
"Currently speaking, with my strength, I have absolutely no problem protecting myself in this dungeon."
"In fact, if luck is good, there might even be so here that I can defeat—whether players or NPCs, even though I'm currently 'First-Tier,' I'm confident my strength is definitely not at the bottom."
After all, Lin Yu had personally tested that burly man at the registration entrance just now... the other party looked like soone skilled in combat. Shen Bingmiao's information ntioned that although the "Glory Festival," as the most important celebration, still carried the unreliable feeling unique to the Black Marsh realm, the participants were definitely all experienced hands or even experts from the various organizing forces, naly the ten major tribes.
So were even among the top ten final warriors from the previous session.
That's why that burly man at the registration counter, when Lin Yu tested him, sowhat unexpectedly for Lin Yu, wasn't pulled to the ground by him.
But whether he was a core mber of the ten major tribes or an outstanding perforr from the previous session, Lin Yu had already tested it out...
With his current combat power combined with [items], he could handle it.
Ultimately, it's still because the freely obtained 'Soldier' ability is just too good.
Combined with other buffs, this "Glory Festival" really isn't too difficult.
Old Zheng also echoed Lin Yu: "Well said, that's exactly the kind of montum we need! Based on my past research, self-confidence really does affect a person's abilities in all aspects! In the 'Death Ga,' confidence is equally important!"
"Stiller, don't worry, although I don't know what mission this kid has for you, I believe in his judgnt!"
Old Zheng put on a resolute appearance of supporting Lin Yu's decisions.
In contrast, Hannah, this ti, unusually didn't imdiately follow Lin Yu, but instead expressed so concern: "Ribbit! But Director, this event is indeed filled with violence, so we should still be careful!"
"What exactly is the more important mission you want to give Stiller?"
Stiller also nodded curiously: "Yes, Director, what exactly do you need to do?"
"I need you to wander around inside for a while later," Lin Yu said calmly, "Just act like an ordinary contestant, hunt so beasts, fight other contestants as appropriate, prioritize ensuring you don't die... I'll also lend you so of my [items]."
Hearing Lin Yu's arrangent, before Stiller could react, Hannah questioned it first.
"That doesn't sound necessary either?"
Even Old Zheng switched sides.
"To be honest, your arrangent is indeed a bit unclear in its aning."
With these two paving the way, Stiller, who originally at Paris would directly execute orders even if they felt strange, finally hesitated for a mont before choosing to ask again.
"What's the purpose of doing this?"
"This is part of my 'trap'... Well, to ensure this sche can proceed smoothly, because your acting isn't very good, and it's known that there's at least one sowhat smart guy in this dungeon, so the reason you're doing this, and the most crucial 'operation' you need to perform, I'll explain to you later."
Lin Yu said with a smile: "For now... it's better for you to maintain this confused state."
Stiller nodded, half-understanding, his nature of obeying orders regaining the upper hand.
"I understand."
And since Stiller himself had already agreed, Old Zheng and Hannah naturally couldn't say much more.
After this brief exchange, the dense forest was now completely enveloped in night.
The sky was pitch black, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon.
anwhile, the bright white moon had climbed and hung in mid-air.
The dappled moonlight was like sifted flour, partially blocked by the intertwined branches of the dense forest overhead, partially leaking down.
When, through the gaps in the tree shadows, they glimpsed the bright moon reaching the height directly overhead...
"Woooo—!"
A heavy horn sound rang out from the center, as if from ancient tis.
Lin Yu could feel his body trembling slightly, as if the beating heart in his chest resonated with this long horn sound.
Even without prior notification, Lin Yu now had a faint judgnt in his heart.
This was probably the "signal to begin."
Sure enough, amidst the prolonged horn sound, those intertwined thorn walls began to slowly "unfold and loosen," then gradually retreated into the ground.
"Quite magical indeed."
Lin Yu clicked his tongue in amazent as he watched this scene.
"Beastkin witchcraft. Beastkin are very good at altering the life forms of plants and beasts, twisting their shapes and states to achieve their goals," Old Zheng calmly explained, "Although the Blood Kingdom and the Three Mounds Kingdom don't get along well, as long as there's paynt, the Beastkin will help."
The horn sound gradually ceased, all the steel-like vines and thorns had mostly returned underground, leaving only a "base" about the height of roadside greenbelt shrubs and roughly over a ter wide.
Lin Yu nimbly jumped over, and upon hearing the horn sound end, a new voice sounded.
"Warriors, welco to this session's 'Glory Festival'!"
A voice, deep and resonant in timbre, sounding like it ca from so tough guy, echoed between the earth and sky.
"I am the referee for this session, the throne guard of the Bronze Casting Tribe, forr champion warrior, Jiang Rong!"
"This session's 'Glory Festival' is the sa as before, ten days, no restrictions, just fight, fight, and fight!"
"Loot can be collected, or snatched!"
"Beasts can be killed, contestants can be killed—even I, the 'referee,' can be killed!"
"There are only three rules to slightly restrain your behavior!"
"One, before ten days are up, do not flee or retreat—in short, don't be a coward!"
"Two, cooperation is allowed, but bribery is strictly prohibited—do not tarnish the glory!"
"Three, random healing spots will appear daily, providing dicine, food, and water, absolutely no fighting allowed inside!"
"That's all!"
After he finished speaking, Lin Yu sighed: "Sure enough, simple and crude."
After that voice finished, it suddenly sounded again.
"Oh, wait... this session also has special rules!"
"For the first three days, the healing spots will provide standard weapons and armor for individual contestants, first co, first served!"
Hearing this hastily added clause, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.
"Soone with a 'Rule Type' has activated their ability... seems like a modification and expansion of the third rule, is it an 'Official'?"
