Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God Chapter 405: “Official” and “Con Artist”

The activation of 'Class' abilities often defies common sense in many ways.

'Enhancent Types' are sowhat understandable, rely violating ordinary physical laws.

But 'Skill Types' and 'Rule Types' can often be described as "bizarre" the mont they take effect.

For example, the 'Thief' who can instantly make sothing appear in their hand by "activating their ability," or the 'Doctor' whose "healing" feels more like making injuries and illnesses vanish into thin air...

As for 'Rule Types,' they border on causality manipulation.

They can often instantly modify and correct everyone's perception. Even higher beings capable of recognizing "Players" and the "Ga" are not immune.

Beings at the level of Divine Agents or even deities themselves, while able to resist such modifications to so degree, seem to be forced to helplessly acknowledge the fact that rules have been nullified, tampered with, or newly added.

It's like directly acting upon so intangible "World Will."

Just like the 'Official' ability Lin Yu obtained through deception before, which could even nullify the abilities of a monster like 'Chate.'

Although the essence was because 'Chate' wasn't truly a living being, so its "abilities" were still considered "rules" by the ga...

But regarding 'Rule Type' abilities, Lin Yu had gained an understanding.

Not necessarily easy to use, but definitely usable in all sorts of situations.

Just like now, Lin Yu could guess that soone had activated a 'Rule Type' ability.

"After all, this rule appeared too suddenly. It's hard to imagine it wasn't caused by a 'Player's' ability."

Stiller was illuminating the path ahead, while Lin Yu followed behind with Hannah and Old Zheng, staying alert while analyzing the "rule" that had just appeared.

After the rule was recited, the thorny iron wall rose again.

After hearing Lin Yu's analysis, Old Zheng offered his own opinion.

"It doesn't seem like an 'Official.' If I were an 'Official'... I would directly modify the range so that only I could enter that healing area."

"Although an ordinary 'Official' couldn't do it, anyone who can enter this [dungeon] must have completed at least one 'Promotion,' most likely reaching 'Second Tier'... Their abilities would definitely be enhanced, so achieving that shouldn't be difficult."

Lin Yu lifted Old Zheng's brain jar. "How do you know such specifics? Don't tell your forr class was 'Official'?"

"My forr class was 'Scholar,' okay? I'm pure, not so vulgar person filled with self-perceptions of power and status," Old Zheng's brain circuitry flashed dismissively. "The admission standards for the Professional Committee of the 'Psychological Society' were set by !"

"As for why I'm so familiar with 'Officials,' it's simply because I was disgusted by one before... Seriously, if you could help get back at that guy, I could make a deal with you, give you so benefits!"

Lin Yu wasn't in a hurry to agree. "Tell who it is first. I always feel there's a catch."

Old Zheng was silent for a second and a half before speaking. "So cautious... It's soone from 'Order.'"

"He was already the South China Inspector back then, codena 'Rengu.' He's probably been promoted to Regional Director by now?"

Lin Yu let out a breath. "Great, not only a tough character, but also from 'Order.'"

"But think on the bright side. It's been so long. Maybe he died in so dungeon, just like you."

"Nope, because when you went to Haicheng, I sensed it. His 'Permanent Rule' still exists, which ans he's still alive," Old Zheng sighed. "You can check the 'Hunters' Association' to know. He has the third-highest bounty posted by 'Order,' only behind the 'General' and the 'Secretary,' even higher than the 'Grandmaster.'"

Lin Yu was surprised. "So what did he do?"

"'Any mbers of the 'Psychological Society' or 'Marauders' are prohibited from entering Player offline trading gatherings,'" Old Zheng said resentfully. "If you have ti, join the 'Marauders' and try entering an offline gathering yourself. Once inside, you'll find yourself breathless, struggling to breathe, and detectable by the current city's Ga Master."

Old Zheng didn't know yet that Lin Yu already had an identity in this regard, as Lin Yu hadn't had ti to switch accounts this ti, being too busy with the 'May May' matter.

But hearing Old Zheng's words, Lin Yu felt a surge of respect for the unseen 'Rengu.'

"What a good person! The only mistake was not kicking out the 'Free Alliance' as well!"

No wonder the safety of his offline gatherings was so high. It turned out soone was carrying the burden and providing protection, kicking out the two biggest troublemakers among the Player community.

Although he didn't know what this 'Official' was like in reality, Lin Yu guessed he was probably a clean, good official who cared about the people in his work!

"Anyway, if it's not an 'Official,' which 'Rule Type' do you think is more likely?"

Lin Yu asked, and Old Zheng pondered.

"Honestly... judging by the content, I'm actually leaning more toward your colleague."

Lin Yu was surprised. "'Actor'? Or an advanced 'Student'?"

"Your self-positioning and perception aren't very clear, young man," Old Zheng said calmly. "If it's not a 'Unique Class,' I'm more inclined to think it's a 'Fraudster.'"

"Activating the ability right from the start, and the content doesn't seem self-customized. It really fits the 'Fraudster' style."

Hearing this, Lin Yu was sowhat taken aback.

During 'First-Tier,' the 'Promotion Trial' task was to find a 'Fraudster,' but there was no 'Fraudster' in that [dungeon]...

Now at 'Second-Tier,' the task doesn't involve a 'Fraudster,' but he actually encounters one in the ga.

There's a strange sense of coincidence.

"A 'Fraudster,' huh... That's actually a bit interesting."

Since the class is 'Fraudster,' it ans the other party must have studied deception and trickery thods.

Given that a 'Third-Tier' 'Detective' has specifically co looking for him, now another relatively troubleso, hard-to-deceive Player has appeared.

"Truly challenging. The 'Promotion Trial' really lives up to its na... Even disregarding the task, this Player configuration feels like a 'trial' specially prepared for by the 'Death Ga.'"

Lin Yu sighed, finally summarizing his thoughts. "Even this kind of ga has an ELO chanism that matches you against perverted opponents after a winning streak. Really makes you want to curse their entire family."

Stiller, who was scouting ahead, couldn't help but look back.

"I thought Director was excited about the challenge, but it turns out it's a complaint."

Old Zheng also chuckled dryly. "I don't think this ga has ELO. You're just purely unlucky!"

Lin Yu sighed. "Yeah, that's exactly why I'm annoyed!"

While Lin Yu and his summons were chatting and exploring.

In the distance, a clearly visible light source that had been maintaining roughly a hundred-ter distance from them suddenly went out!

Lin Yu instantly stopped the casual talk and joking.

"Stiller, lights out."

"Soone is charging toward us."
