Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God

”Help?”

Lin Yu became deeply interested in the help Galli Thontas had mentioned.

He immediately pulled two [items] from his chest.

Naturally, they were the [One-Statement Lie Detector] and the [One-Shot Revolver].

Although both of these [items] had been used before, the ”revolver’s” design was too common, and no one had noticed its guaranteed-hit attribute.

Moreover, Galli Thontas’s existence proved that while these two [items] were rare, they weren’t exactly ”unique.”

”If I’m not mistaken... these two creations are also related to you, aren’t they? Were they made by your disciple?”

As Lin Yu spoke, Galli Thontas took the two [items] and appeared somewhat shocked.

”Where did you get these two things?” Galli Thontas examined them carefully. ”These don’t look like the ones I sold for money... rather, they’re like... my earliest ’prototype’ versions...”

”If I remember correctly... I should have placed them in...”

”A manor.”

Lin Yu answered.

”Yes, yes, that was the ancestral sacred ground of the ’werewolves,’ the place closest to the Abyss, where the Gray Wolf King once resided. Although I slaughtered them all, that manor still retained the power to transform people into werewolves, so I beseeched the ’god’ to banish that place forever... How did you get in?”

Galli Thontas’s gaze toward Lin Yu shifted once again, now carrying a hint of appreciation.

Lin Yu shrugged. ”Players, you know... Since you’re Fish’s teacher, you should understand. We always end up appearing in all sorts of bizarre places whether we want to or not.”

”Well said,” Galli’s face showed an expression of admiration. ”So, you came out of that place alive... truly remarkable!”

”Yeah, looking at it now, it’s all thanks to the two [items] and the hints you left behind,” Lin Yu said calmly. ”So... I’ll boldly make another request. Could you help me upgrade these two things?”

”That’s certainly no problem. I’m the founder of the ’Holy Relic faction’... Compared to combat, ’forging’ and ’enchanting’ are actually my strengths!”

”This [One-Shot Revolver] was made right after I first invented the ’guaranteed-hit Engraving.’ It really brings back memories.”

As Galli spoke, he stomped one foot onto the snake descendant that had been tossed to the ground, now awake and trying to escape, then fired a shot into its leg.

This snake descendant had been knocked unconscious by Phoenix’s explosion and was also the one in the best condition among the five severely injured snake descendants, so it had already regained some mobility.

However, Galli’s bullet struck its leg bone with pinpoint precision, shattering the bone completely and robbing it of mobility once again.

”The feel really is good. Hard to believe this was my work when I was so young,” Galli looked at Lin Yu. ”Schreiber, how do you want to upgrade it?”

”Fire rate, power, or ammunition capacity?”

”Or perhaps greater precision? Or do you have some other wild ideas?”

Galli Thontas asked, and Lin Yu pondered for a moment before asking, ”Can you do all of them?”

”Haha, you kid really dare to dream! That’s completely impossible!”

Lin Yu was stunned. ”But you’re the founder of the ’Holy Relic faction,’ the most outstanding forging and enchanting master in the Night Valley Realm. Can’t you think of a way?”

Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Galli Thontas laughed heartily. ”Hahaha, it’s been a long time since I’ve met a human more shameless than a demon. Your greed and audacity truly exceed my imagination, kid. I’m an enchanting master, not a Wishing Machine. The kind of [Divine Artifact] you want, I can’t create!”

Lin Yu looked at the revolver at his waist.

Noticing Lin Yu’s gaze, Galli Thontas spoke up. ”This one is the work of my heart... and most importantly, the materials used for this gun are beyond your imagination. It nearly emptied most of my savings. Only the best materials can bear so many Engravings... As for the gun in your hand, it’s not bad, but there’s no way it can support too many ’Engravings.’”

”At most, I can grant you two enhancements.”

”Then let’s increase its ammunition capacity, and also boost its power.”

Lin Yu wasn’t picky and stated directly.

Galli immediately began his work. Mana Streams in his hands materialized into solid form, the revolver floating between his palms as he carved new mana patterns into the gun’s body.

About a few minutes later, Galli finished the job.

Then, Galli took out the [One-Statement Lie Detector] that Lin Yu had just handed him. He raised his head, seemingly about to ask Lin Yu something, but then remembered something and lowered it again.

”I won’t let you choose for this one. I’ll just extend the duration a bit.”

With that, Galli began upgrading the Engraving on the [One-Statement Lie Detector].

Soon...

Galli completed the upgrades on both [items] and handed them back to Lin Yu.

”I’m deeply grateful... But since you’re willing to help me, does that mean I’ve passed your assessment? Could you hand that snake descendant over to me?”

Galli shook his head. ”I’m just helping you out of convenience... Although the fact that you made it out of that manor shows you have some skill, that doesn’t mean I fully trust your abilities and potential just yet.”

”As for that snake descendant... while you are indeed a promising prospect, that’s not the only reason I’m keeping it. I genuinely need one of these five ’snake descendants.’ This particular one has already established a connection with the ’Original Sin Wraith,’ allowing me to track the ’Original Sin Wraith’s’ movements at all times.”

”But don’t worry, you just need to operate within the Night Valley Realm under my surveillance for a while. I won’t even restrict your freedom. You can do whatever you want. I’ll just be keeping an eye on you, that’s all.”

Hearing Galli’s words, Lin Yu sighed. ”Your Excellency, you really have too much free time on your hands.”

”Yes, I really do have too much free time.”

Galli Thontas said, a smile spreading across his face.

”I’m not very fond of being watched, but... business is business. Since you upgraded those two [items] for me unconditionally, I should give you something in return,” Lin Yu said. ”Nitsanchi has a [Book of Hell] in his possession...”

As he spoke, Lin Yu pulled a thick black book from his chest and handed it to Galli.

Galli was astonished.

”What? The [Book of Hell] actually fell into your hands?!”

He took the black book and began flipping through it.

The characters on the black book writhed and squirmed, making it impossible for Galli to decipher them.

”What... is going on with all this?”

Galli frowned slightly.

Then, he quickly detected a sense of ”wrongness.”

”No. This thing isn’t the [Book of Hell]!”
