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

Chapter 547 Alchemy

"Gifts? I'll prepare them carefully."

Lin Yu looked at the Nevernight Fire Apricot, and then said again: "But... what kind of gift would be considered qualified for you?"

"One hundred million in cash."

Buyetian Huoxing replied immediately.

When Lin Yu heard this answer, he was briefly stunned: "Dear Lord Huo Xing of Buyetian, I'm sorry, I'm a poor guy."

"You, a prince and noble, are asking me, who doesn't even have a title, for money. 100 million at that. Is that appropriate?"

As Lin Yu asked, Buyetian Huoxing showed a regretful expression.

"Ah, so it's not possible?"

"Of course not. I'm just a 'detective', not a wish-granting machine!"

Lin Yu said helplessly.

Buyetian Huoxing thought for a moment and said, "How about giving me something that doesn't exist in this world?"

“Is it fair and just?”

Lin Yu asked.

"Are you mocking the City That Never Sleeps... Granted, this city is terrible, but I'm the most profitable of all the nobles out there. How could I possibly want something like that?" Huo Xing made a "yeah" gesture. "What I'm actually asking for is... give me some 'sea creatures'."

"Of course I can, but it won't be in time for your birthday. I can bring you two fish next time... Do you want them raw or cooked?"

Lin Yu asked.

"Live ones. I've read your books... I really like killer whales. Get me a pair."

Buyetian Huoxing said seriously.

Lin Yu was shocked: "I thought you were a smart person, but it turns out you still retain the stupid part of the royal nobles?"

"Do you know how big an orca is? Where are you going to keep that thing alive?"

After meeting Buyetian Huoxing, he intuitively felt her intelligence and witnessed her control over Gray Third Street. For a time, he thought Buyetian Huole and the Buyetian Patriarch's assessment of Buyetian Huoxing as "eccentric" and "naive" was inaccurate...

Now it seems that it is not completely inaccurate.

"You seem to be thinking of something very rude."

Huo Xing from Buyetian said with a pout.

Lin Yu nodded: "I think the rumors I heard about you before don't seem to be completely untrue."

"Which part? The one that said I looked crazy or stupid, like that?"

As Buyetian Huoxing spoke, he stuck out his tongue, tilted his head, spread his hands by his face, and his eyes moved up and down: "Wow! I'm Buyetian Huoxing!"

Lin Yu did not deny it: "But overall, you are still pretending, right?"

"Are you helping my dear sister Huo Le test me?" Huo Xing leaned on the table and sucked her tongue back into her mouth. "To be honest, those rumors are not completely untrue... Compared to normal people and normal nobles, I am probably mentally ill."

Nevernight Huo Xing said nonchalantly, "I did want them to think I was 'abnormal,' but I didn't deliberately act crazy or stupid. It's just that in front of my family and other nobles, I acted on instinct, doing whatever came to my mind, and being a little free-spirited. In their eyes, that's crazy."

"For example, eating whatever she likes at a banquet without saying a word, attending family meetings in a work suit popular in the outskirts instead of a dress, kicking a duke's annoying son into a pond, and going wherever she wants on the street instead of taking a car..."

When Lin Yu heard this, he nodded slightly.

It sounds like what Huo Xing of Buyetian did was simply because she hated the red tape of the nobles.

He felt a little sympathy for Buyetian Huoxing - just because she did not act according to the standards and rules of the "aristocrats", everyone thought she was weird and abnormal, even the wise head of the Buyetian family disliked her because of this.

"...putting laxatives in the Sorens' kitchen, infiltrating the Divine Power Group and releasing their modified biological weapons, electrifying the public swimming pool in the City That Never Sleeps, and knocking out random nobles before stuffing them into cars and dumping them in the wilderness."

"That's not right. What happened before and after is completely different," Lin Yu reacted. "Your actions are indeed very abnormal!"

He almost forgot that the girl in front of him was not meeting him through normal channels, but was meeting him in the underground of the City That Never Sleeps, as the "Fairy Queen" of Gray Third Street - there were even piles of corpses lying around.

From this point of view alone...the Nevernight Fire Apricot can definitely not be called harmless to humans and animals.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Buyetian Huoxing burst into laughter.

"Yeah, okay, I admit I'm not normal," she said, making a V sign with both hands again, smiling brightly, "but there's nothing I can do about it, it's just my nature - just like birds have to fly, fish have to swim, and raccoons have to eat garbage! Yeah!"

"Bu Ye Tian Huo Xing is born to pursue chaos, the unknown, and things that lack certainty, and she feels genuine joy from doing so."

Listening to Buyetian Huoxing's cheerful words, Lin Yu exhaled again.

"Okay, but why do you still want to be this 'Fairy Queen' on Gray Third Street? Is it just for fun?"

"It's certainly not just for fun," said Buyetian Huoxing. "I never hide my true nature at home. It's mainly to prevent Mother from considering me as her heir. Honestly, among my siblings, I'm the only one who has completely inherited Mother's terrifying alchemical talent."

She spoke softly, then raised her fingers and plucking twice in the air, as if plucking non-existent strings.

Then, the neatly arranged corpses of the other side collectively turned their heads and spoke in unison.

"Just like this, by the time I was eleven, I had already mastered four advanced alchemy techniques, one supreme alchemy technique, and had my own alchemy system."

Those corpses spoke on behalf of the Buyetian Huoxing.

"Manipulating corpses?"

Lin Yu looked at Lao Zheng on his knees and asked a question.

Lao Zheng also responded in a low voice: "It's different from mine. I use 'manipulation of the residual soul' to retain the consciousness in the body. It's essentially hypnosis - Mind Control, you know?"

"But this guy, if I'm not mistaken... he should be using alchemy to transform the bodies of dead people into some kind of alchemical props." At this point, Lao Zheng paused, and then seemed to sense something, "Oh, wait... No, no, no!"

"She didn't turn these dead bodies into alchemical tools, but rather turned them into 'parts' of her own body - in other words, these corpses were her external organs, just like her arms and legs!"

"Bu Ye Tian Huo Xing...what an amazing talent!"
