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

Chapter 246: The Feud Between Chen Zhuo and Fu Luo

Even though Lin Yu might be the only one present who recognized this player Fu Luo, the others also let their guard down after seeing his actual performance.

Or rather...

Anyone who saw Fu Luo being chased around like a dog by a small robot wouldnʼt consider him much of a threat.

Li Nian sighed: ”Well, we all overthought this - turns out this guy really is just terrible.”

Chen Zhuo couldnʼt help but laugh: ”Heʼs not even as good as me... With that robot, if I was willing to use some consumables, I could hold my own!”

Wang Yuyang looked at Fu Luo and raised a more practical question.

”Are we still taking him with us?”

Before Lin Yu could speak, Pan Yuqiang spoke up instead.

”Straw hat, light-colored hair, looks foreign, Henan accent,” this member of the Psychological Societyʼs Execution Department seemed to remember something as she looked at her boyfriend,

”Yuqiang, save him first.”
Hearing Pan Yuqiangʼs words, Wang Yuyang didnʼt question it and immediately stepped into the carriage.

”Friend, Iʼll help you!”

He announced loudly, crossing his hands...

This time, what appeared in Wang Yuyangʼs hands were two thin metal throwing darts.

He flicked his right wrist, and the darts shot out swiftly.

”Clink! Snap!”

The two darts arrived in sequence - the first one lodged in front of the robotʼs rotating wheels, skillfully throwing it off balance.

The second dart aimed at the robotʼs chassis - this dart had no sharp point, instead featuring a magnetic suction stone at its tip.

”Click!”

The dart stuck to the bottom of the robot, then erupted with blue-white electric arcs.

”Crackle!”

The already small robot crashed to the ground and instantly stopped moving.

In just an instant, Wang Yuyang had dealt with the robot that had been troubling Fu Luo for so long.

Saved so easily by Wang Yuyang, Fu Luo stopped his frantic escape and slumped into a seat as if relieved.

”Saved!”

Then, he looked toward the direction of his savior.

Lin Yu saw Fu Luo adjust his straw hat, his scrutinizing gaze sweeping over everyone.

Then, this ʼDetectiveʼ stood up again.

”Thank you, experts, for saving me. My code name is ʼFurbolloʼ, profession is ʼDetectiveʼ... May I ask how I should address you all?”

Hearing Fu Luoʼs self-introduction, Pan Yuqiang stepped forward: ”So it really is that unranked ʼDetectiveʼ.”

Hearing Pan Yuqiangʼs words, Lin Yu understood.

So she also recognized Fu Luo... though he didnʼt know how she knew him.

Logically, while Fu Luo was famous, he wasnʼt known by everyone.

Moreover, judging from Pan Yuqiangʼs earlier reaction... she should have heard of and knew about Fu Luo, but hadnʼt actually met him in person.

But after hearing Fu Luoʼs self-introduction, one person seemed even more excited.

Chen Zhuo looked at the other party and exclaimed in surprise: ”Holy shit, youʼre Fudog!”

Hearing Chen Zhuoʼs exclamation, Fu Luo flicked his hat brim, put away the straw hat, and replaced it with an ordinary baseball cap.

”Youʼre quite rude, little fatty, calling me by my black name offline, huh?”

Chen Zhuo grew annoyed hearing Fu Luoʼs heavily Henan-accented, condescending tone: ”Whatʼs wrong with calling you Fudog? Youʼre always spouting nonsense on the forum... I just canʼt stand you!”

After saying this, he moved closer to Lin Yu and Li Nian, gaining more confidence.

Seeing Chen Zhuo like this, Fu Luo instead became thoughtful, stroking his chin: ”Have you been arguing with me on the forum recently?”

”Of course, you randomly flamed me for an entire night!”

Chen Zhuo said indignantly, while glancing sideways at Lin Yu.

Fu Luo suddenly understood.

”Oh, I know who you are now, that ʼAi-chanʼ, right?” He slapped his thigh and exclaimed with feeling, ”Damn, youʼre really petty. I just said a couple things like Conan is pseudo-reasoning and many cases are kinda dumbed down - was that necessary?”

Chen Zhuoʼs face flushed red: ”How is it unnecessary? Donʼt make it sound so trivial! I admit myself that most of Conanʼs reasoning parts are actually average, but your exact words were ʼAnyone who can stomach watching eight hundred episodes of this logically flawed, mentally challenged unit drama masquerading as reasoning must be gods among gods. Itʼs understandable if youʼre in it for the characters, but those who like Haibara Ai must have never seen a woman in their life, you private-study loliconsʼ - and you said it directly under my post! I was just keeping to my own circle, why did you have to jump in my face!”

Fu Luo also couldnʼt hold back: ”Iʼm fucking done! You call that keeping to your own circle? Even if the forum has a water section, you canʼt build a true love appreciation thread for Haibara Ai in the ʼDeath Gameʼ themed forum, right? Did you really think this was a forum for random posts?”

”Well the Game Master didnʼt delete it!”

Chen Zhuo became even more emphatic.

As the two went back and forth, their online feud gradually became clear.

Among the remaining people, Pang Kedo, being a non-player, naturally couldnʼt understand any of it...

And among the four players, three couldnʼt access the forum.

The only one who could access the forum, Lin Yu, also didnʼt really browse the water section.

So all four were shocked by the twoʼs behavior.

”Both sides are the dumbest of the dumb.”

Li Nian laughed and remarked.

Pan Yuqiang even fell into thought: ”Our organization gave ʼFurbolloʼ quite a high potential rating. Even though he never ʼadvancedʼ, many people have been observing him... Did we get something wrong?”

Watching the two argue, Lin Yu also found it amusing.

But she still looked at Li Nian.

”Donʼt just watch the show, handle this.”

”After all, one side is our employer... and letting this continue isnʼt productive.”

Lin Yu said softly. Li Nian pursed her lips.

”Why donʼt you go?”

”Iʼm not good at this - bluffing and intimidation are my strengths, mediation isnʼt really my thing.”

”Especially with players.”

Lin Yu said calmly.

Li Nian seemed to remember the results of last time when she had Lin Yu negotiate with Heavenly Artisan, and shuddered.

”True, better let me handle it.”

Saying this, Li Nian stepped forward and patted Chen Zhuo.

”Although backing you up in a flame war isnʼt within our service scope, consider it a freebie. Remember to give us a five-star review.”

Li Nian said in a lowered voice, then looked at Fu Luo.

”Hey, Furbollo, youʼve introduced yourself and know the little fattyʼs identity.”

”But the rest of us havenʼt introduced ourselves yet... Let me tell you, the short-haired girl in white behind me and I were hired by this little fatty, and the other couple are also my friends.”

”My code name is ʼMaster Thiefʼ, the short-haired girlʼs code name is ʼZhu Mingʼ, the guy in that couple is ʼDesignerʼ... Itʼs fine if youʼve heard of them.”

”The three of us are from the ʼFree Allianceʼ.”

”By the way, the girl from the couple who spoke to you earlier has the code name ʼCitalopramʼ, and sheʼs a cadre of the ʼPsychological Societyʼ.”

”So, I advise you to be sma...”

Before Li Nian could finish speaking, she saw a figure flash before her eyes.

”Thump!”

Fu Luo dropped to his knees with lightning speed, grabbing Chen Zhuoʼs hand with a serious expression.

”Bro, Haibara Ai is literally the most perfect woman in the world.”

”All my previous slander against Ai-chan came from my jealousy and incompetence. Only someone with messed-up values would think a resilient and intelligent woman like Sherry isnʼt worth liking. I only disparaged Ai-chan to make myself seem special and unique.”

”And Conan is actually a very deep work. Being able to continuously serialize and produce so much content over so many years - having minor flaws in some episodes is just small blemishes that donʼt detract from the jadeʼs beauty. Gosho Aoyama-sensei is the true god of Japanese reasoning. Seishi Yokomizo and Seichō Matsumoto have been overly deified by everyone - they were just lucky to be born before Aoyama-sensei, mere mortals compared to him.”
