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

Chapter 1592 Descent! Voyage!

"Clap!"

Lin Yu pressed the button on the white disc that looked like a keychain, and then threw the disc into the water.

next moment……

The water surged, and a huge, futuristic underwater vehicle rose up, facing Lin Yu and Chen Le, and opened its hatch on the water's surface.

Looking at the white, uniquely shaped ship that resembled a "spaceship," Chen Le couldn't help but make a comment.

"It's pretty cool... but which game's [item] is this?"

"It's called the Sea Moth, but I don't know which game it's from," Lin Yu said frankly. "However... it does seem to have very powerful functions."

Chen Le pondered, "The Sea Moth, but I know... it's from Subnautica, a pretty good game."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "You have quite a wide range of knowledge about games. This doesn't seem to be a very mainstream game."

"What, do I have to immerse myself completely in fishing? I'm a modern person, I play video games, and this is an ocean-themed game, I've definitely played it before," Chen Le spread his hands, "but... although it's an ocean-themed game, it doesn't have a very fun fishing part, which really disappoints me."

Lin Yu retorted, "You still say you're not completely immersed in fishing? Don't you care about whether you can do cybernetic fishing when you play games?"

Chen Le thought for a moment: "But I also play games that aren't ocean-themed."

"for example?"

Lin Yu asked.

"Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Red Dead Redemption 2..."

As Chen Le spoke, he gave three examples.

Lin Yu sighed helplessly: "The three games you mentioned are all fishing games, and they are all excellent examples of games with very well-developed fishing systems!"

Hearing Lin Yu's sigh, Chen Le chuckled: "Heh... you've been found out. I didn't expect you, 'Zhu Ming,' to play games too."

Lin Yu pointed to himself: "Don't I look more like the type who plays a lot of single-player games than you do?"

Chen Le thought for a moment and said, "Because you look like a top student and are not very old, I would guess that you are the type of top student who didn't play many games before entering university, and so much so that you play mobile games after entering university."

"That's a complete stereotype, and where did you get the idea that I was the kind of high-achieving student who didn't play games in high school?"

Lin Yu asked helplessly.

Although Xia Yue, the real-life inspiration for "Zhu Ming," and the character she portrays, do indeed give the impression of being a "top student" from childhood, however...

There are many types of top students.

Xia Yue is definitely not the type of "well-behaved girl with strict family discipline" or a top student who doesn't play games at all.

Clearly, the "fisherman" hadn't thought things through at all when he spoke.

However, although Chen Le speaks without thinking, he is also good at admitting his mistakes.

"Sorry, sorry, it was indeed a problem with what I said," Chen Le said, putting his hands together in prayer. "However... now that we have a vehicle and the means to move quickly and long distances underwater and on the surface, which direction should we go next?"

Chen Le asked aloud.

Lin Yu said, "I'm not sure either, but I think we should head in one direction first, then find a settlement of mermaids or fishmen nearby, and ask them how we should proceed."

As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le, the "Fisherman," nodded: "Alright... let's board the boat first!"

As he spoke, he voluntarily jumped into the cabin of the Sea Moth.

The interior of the Sea Moth, like its exterior, is filled with various technological features.

The control panel is covered with complex buttons and levers, and is also filled with various unintelligible annotations.

Chen Le looked around, a somewhat troubled expression on his face: "Oh dear, this thing looks really complicated... You should know how to drive it, right?"

Lin Yu's expression was solemn: "No... I didn't expect it to be like this. I thought it would be similar to the operation of a regular submersible."

Chen Le was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Then doesn't that mean... even though we have a boat, we can't set sail?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said seriously, "Let me take a look. As long as it can move, there shouldn't be any problems."

Chen Le was even more worried: "I think it's best not to act rashly... How about we try praying to the 'God of Games' or something to see if we can get any guidance from the boss? Are you sure she didn't give you the instruction manual?"

"Many of Boss Fang Qing's [props], especially the ones she created, are not as simple as you think. If there's some kind of self-destruct program, the two of us will be in big trouble!"

Lin Yu looked at Chen Le's expression and waved his hand with a smile.

“I’m just kidding—Fang Qing told me how to use this thing.”

As he spoke, Lin Yu walked to the edge of the control panel inside the Sea Moth and then began to concentrate his mind on the control panel.

next moment……

Lin Yu felt his consciousness merge with the ship and began to look down at the ship from a third-person perspective.

The "fisherman" was right; many of the "props" Fang Qing created herself were quite extraordinary.

Take, for example, this "Portable Sea Moth"...

Fang Qing not only recreated the "Sea Moth" at the setting level, but also innovatively preserved its nature as a "vehicle in the game".

Therefore... Lin Yu doesn't need to actually operate like a ship or submarine, using complex driving skills to issue commands through the control panel.

He could very easily control the Sea Moth to move forward, backward, surface, and dive using his own will.

It's like playing a third-person underwater simulation adventure game.

At the same time, Lin Yu retained some of his own perspective—it was as if he now possessed two perspectives simultaneously.

To be honest, if Lin Yu hadn't become so accustomed to the feeling of his consciousness being separated, he would have found it quite difficult to adjust.

but……

For Lin Yu now, it's merely "dividing into two," or even that's a bit too little.

He calmly steered the Sea Moth in one direction. After confirming that the Sea Moth was indeed alright, Chen Le breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's quite stable after all... However, I really didn't expect you to scare me, 'Zhu Ming'."

"I always thought you were the reliable type!"

Chen Le sighed, and Lin Yu smiled: "That's completely your misconception... I'm actually... well, quite a lively person."

"Actually, I quite like to joke around."

Lin Yu, piloting the Sea Moth, spoke softly.

“No wonder you and Li Nian are so close, and Li Nian likes you so much,” Chen Le said with emotion. “However, I’m already on guard against you now, so it won’t be so easy for you to play me now.”

As Chen Le was speaking, Lin Yu chimed in, "That's true. After all, you're a very smart type. I can tell... Hey, the sonar up ahead has detected a lot of fish, they look like sardines... Shall we look in that direction?"

Chen Le's eyes lit up: "A school of fish? We have to go check that out!"

"Let me clarify first, I'm not trying to fish... but where there are schools of fish, there are likely powerful sea monsters, and where there are sea monsters, there are likely native inhabitants of the Clean Ruins—so if we head towards the schools of fish, we might encounter native NPCs!"

"The fisherman" said with great interest.

Then he added, "By the way, can the windows on this ship be opened?"

Lin Yu looked at the Sea Moth, which had already submerged dozens of meters below the surface, and turned to Chen Le: "Are you serious? We're more than ten meters underwater... You want to open the window?"

Chen Le scratched his head: "Of course not now... I mean, if we surface or something, is there a chance to open the window?"

"After all... if I catch a few fish when I encounter a school of fish, it can become our bargaining chip when negotiating with the native NPCs."

As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu sighed helplessly, "You really are still thinking about fishing."

Chen Le said somewhat embarrassedly, "But at least... fishing along the way won't interfere with anything else, right?"

Lin Yu said, "That's true—but unfortunately, I was just playing you."

"There were no schools of fish ahead at all... This Sea Moth doesn't even use sonar."

As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le's expression changed slightly, and then he realized that he had been tricked by Lin Yu once again.

Moreover... just now, after he had boasted that he wouldn't be easily "tricked" by the other party, he was immediately amused and completely flustered.

Chen Le covered his face and said helplessly, "Your tone is too natural... The first half of your sentence was a normal conversation, but the second half was a complete lie. It's impossible to guard against this."

Lin Yu chuckled and said, "Isn't there a possibility... that I wasn't entirely lying to you about the first part of what I said?"

Chen Le paused for a moment, recalling the first half of Lin Yu's sentence, then felt even more helpless: "'After all, you're a very smart type'... So you're indirectly calling me stupid?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "This isn't exactly a lie, it's just that I'm not sure either...maybe you're very clever."

“By ‘lying,’ I mean ‘I could tell’—maybe you’re smart, but I certainly couldn’t tell.”

As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le sighed, "Isn't this just a roundabout way of insulting me?"

“Congratulations on finding it,” Lin Yu said with a smile, “but… there really does seem to be a school of fish ahead.”

Chen Le became somewhat wary and was about to question Lin Yu when he suddenly noticed that he could indeed see a group of faint fish in the distance through the glass on the front of the Sea Moth.

His hands immediately started to itch.

"Oh, really? Can I cast a couple of times, Zhu Ming?"

As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu still refused decisively: "No."

“I admit I was making excuses for wanting to go fishing, but what I said wasn’t entirely untrue… These fish do have value; wild fish can indeed be traded with the local indigenous people!”

Chen Le said urgently.

Lin Yu nodded: "I know—that's why I didn't agree to your request."

“These are all ‘valuable resources’... Collecting them by fishing is far too outdated.”
