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

Chapter 1591 Fang Qing's Far-sightedness

"I see, they won't give us new identities right away..."

Lin Yu said with some regret.

After all, although he had made a name for himself in the [dungeon] of the Pure Ruins last time, that was the reputation of the 'Yayu' and had nothing to do with 'Zhu Ming'.

Moreover, although both "Yayu" and "Zhu Ming" are female, they have not established any connection with each other.

Therefore, Lin Yu is temporarily unable to use the connections left behind by the Yayu to contact local people in the outer seas of Jingxu, such as Haimu Zun, to facilitate his actions.

If it were just him alone, it wouldn't be so bad... But since he was in front of the "Fisherman" and would most likely be with the "Fisherman" from beginning to end, Lin Yu could only pretend to be unfamiliar with Jingxu.

In this situation, it would indeed be much more convenient if the [Proof of the Sea Beast] could provide him and Chen Le with two legitimate identities.

Of course, Lin Yu also knew...

Even if the [Proof of the Sea Beast] doesn't provide an identity effect, the [item] itself is still outrageous enough.

For those who haven't enabled the [Map] permission or the "Clean Ruins" anchor point, this [item] is essentially a free Clean Ruins anchor point, except that the landing point will be random.

Even for those with "Clean Ruins" as their anchor point, having three to seven days of free time without being rejected by the "world's will" is certainly cost-effective.

not to mention……

There is another benefit to entering the "Pure Ruins Realm" through the [Proof of the Sea Beast].

Using this [Proof of the Sea Beast] to enter the Pure Ruins and then leaving the Pure Ruins to return to the real world is even simpler than entering through the [Map Permission] "anchor point".

"If we are to leave, we must inject fresh sea beast blood into the [Proof of the Sea Beast]—it must be equal to the amount of blood of the dead 'sea beast' whose identity we are currently using."

"In other words, we need to find a sea monster of similar rank to obtain a drop of its blood, or find some relatively less powerful sea monsters to obtain a larger quantity."

Chen Le explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu naturally admired Fang Qing: "What's the difference between this and being able to leave at any time?"

Chen Le reminded them, "Sea beasts and sea creatures are not the same thing—only races with high intelligence, complex souls, and extraordinary powers can be called sea beasts. No matter how strange or large the other fish are, they can only be called sea creatures!"

Lin Yu nodded: "I understand, I didn't misunderstand the difference between sea beasts and sea creatures!"

"In short, although sea beasts are not common in the 'Clean Ruins,' they are not entirely absent!"

There must be a lot of them in the middle sea at least.

But this time, they were determined to go to the Central Sea no matter what.

Even if no sea beast is found in the Central Sea, Lin Yu still has a final insurance policy.

At worst... we can just borrow some of Hannah's blood!

Although the gray giant fish was probably of a very high status in life, Lin Yu felt that, in terms of "status" alone, Hannah, as the chosen niece of the gods, would probably be no lower than that.

Maybe all we need is a single drop!

Of course, for Lin Yu, even borrowing Hannah's blood was a last resort.

If possible, it's more cost-effective to find one or a few wild ones to farm.

Chen Le's expression relaxed: "Not bad, this [prop] is indeed very useful. Thanks to Boss Fang Qing... I can only say that she tampered with it, but I didn't suffer any particular loss anyway."

He spoke with a somewhat open-minded attitude, then paused, as if recalling something, and sighed, "Moreover, with the identity of a 'sea beast' and not rejected by the world's will, I always feel that my luck in fishing is better than when I normally enter through the 'anchor point'... It's just that there's still a gap compared to entering through the [dungeon]."

As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu looked at his lingering, wistful expression and could roughly guess that he was recalling several fishing experiences that he had probably had a very fruitful time.

Lin Yu asked, "So, do you have a general idea of ​​where this is?"

"If we want to help you find the 'Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins,' which way should we go?"

Chen Le stood on the fish's belly with his hands on his hips, looking around. Then he squatted down, scooped up some seawater, and said, "This should be the barrier between the outer sea and the middle sea. Judging from the water quality, it seems to be the territory of the fish-men... but I'm not very sure."

"In short, it shouldn't be any well-known sea area... otherwise, we should have been able to find traces of fleets or Tail Clan activities, and they might even have been able to find us directly."

"Secondly... this gray fish must have been dead for a long time. If this were a famous sea area near some well-known underwater city, it wouldn't be floating here like this."

"The Jingxu is very large and empty. Seventy percent of the ocean here is completely undeveloped. In the remaining thirty percent, there are many ranches and hunting grounds that have been randomly fenced off. In addition, there are various forbidden areas or dangerous sea areas with frequent storms and strong currents caused by various ancient ruins that have not been explored. Therefore, many places can be considered as completely 'no man's land'. Nobody would come to explore them normally."

Hearing Chen Le say this, Lin Yu nodded and said, "So... this might be a 'no man's land'?"

Chen Le glanced at the gray fish carcass, which showed no signs of dissection or marking, and nodded: "I think it's highly likely—but that's a good thing."

Do you know what this means?

Chen Le spoke earnestly, his tone very serious.

Lin Yu couldn't help but take it seriously, and shook his head: "I don't know."

“As expected, you don’t understand, but it doesn’t matter,” Chen Le flicked his wrist, and two fishing rods and two small folding chairs appeared in his hands. He continued, his eyes shining, “Let me tell you, ‘Zhu Ming’... means this area of ​​sea that has never been fished, an area full of marine life and all kinds of wild fish, an area... with very rich fishery resources!”

"This is a perfect spot for fishing in the wilderness!"

As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu felt somewhat helpless.

I still don't understand "fishermen" very well.

As the strongest 'Tier 3', although Lin Yu hadn't seen him directly make a move, his ranking on the leaderboard alone was enough to tell that he was undoubtedly a powerful figure.

But given his apparent strength, the fact that Fang Qing specifically asked him to run a dungeon with him and even repeatedly told him to keep an eye on him shows just how unreliable this guy is.

Watching Chen Le set up a bench, rod, and fish basket, pick up a bag of fish food and a long-handled wooden spoon, and prepare to start baiting the area, and even set up two sets of fishing gear, seemingly eager to invite Lin Yu to try fishing with him, Lin Yu was almost at his wit's end.

"Didn't you just say that the [Proof of the Sea Beast] can help us shield ourselves from the rejection of the world's will for three to seven days—we don't have much time."

Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, and Chen Le said with a smile, "Seven days is not enough? Besides, even if we are noticed by the World Will after seven days, we can still drag it out for another four or five days... If this goes on and on, it will be almost half a month!"

"Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood—let's take a break first—catching some valuable fish and dealing with some marine life will also help us negotiate with the local natives."

"After all, the natives here are quite pragmatic and value their own interests... If we want to find someone to take us away from the uninhabited waters, we have to offer them something, right?"

As Chen Le spoke, his reasoning was perfectly consistent—clearly, he wasn't simply making excuses.

Lin Yu could tell that Chen Le had already convinced himself.

But Lin Yu was clearly not convinced.

"You can't assume the most optimistic scenario for everything... What if it's three days?"

“Don’t waste time—don’t forget, what we’re looking for are the ‘Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins’… These things are hard to find even one of them, and this time we’d better find multiple of them, so… time is precious,” Lin Yu sighed, looking earnestly at Chen Le, “‘Fishing Guy’, our time is precious not only because one ‘Proof of the Sea Beast’ can’t help us stay in the Pure Ruins Realm permanently, but more importantly… Boss Fang Qing hopes you will become a ‘Fourth Order’ to fill her vacancy.”

"This is equivalent to racing against time with other organizations... Three 'Tier 4' members to hold the fort, one of whom is a 'Player,' which is why our 'Freedom Alliance,' despite its small size, has never been completely wiped out—the overwhelming quantity and quality of high-end combat power determines that the 'Freedom Alliance' can be compared with the 'Psychological Society' and the 'Raiders.'"

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked at the 'Fishing Guy': "But... now, once news of Boss Fang Qing spreads, every second our 'Freedom Alliance' continues to operate is a gamble on whether the other top organizations 'don't want' or 'dare' to take action—because from a rational perspective, now is indeed the best time for them to destroy the 'Freedom Alliance'."

"And this best opportunity for them... will continue until you advance back to 'Tier 4'."

Lin Yu spoke in a manner that appealed to both emotion and reason.

Chen Le was indeed someone who could distinguish between what was important and what was urgent. After being told what to do by Lin Yu, he rubbed his hair helplessly.

“I understand these principles... and I don’t intend to delay any longer.”

"But—we really don't have anything to do in this deserted sea right now."

"Choosing to fish is a really good choice—if we catch a live sea creature big enough, we can use that creature to leave this area!"

"Otherwise... we can't exactly swim, can we?"

As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu shook his head.

"Of course not... The boss has already considered what you've said."

As he spoke, Lin Yu pulled out something that looked like a keychain from his pocket.
