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

Chapter 363: Arrival at Haicheng

No matter what eccentric habits this Central China region inspector ʼNicholasʼ had, or whether his [Exclusive Item] had certain usage conditions that forced him to dress as ʼSanta Clausʼ.

His strength was undeniable.

From Jiangcheng to Haicheng, even high-speed rail and planes would take two hours, but this Santa Claus delivered them in just forty minutes.

The sleigh slowly descended, landing on a street in Haichengʼs urban area.

This was the ”meeting” location that Good Night and Li Hua had agreed upon.

Haicheng was still in nighttime, but as the most prosperous and decadent city in the country and even the world, the streets still had considerable vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

However, they all seemed to ignore this strange sleigh, continuing with their own business.

Lin Yu and Good Night jumped off the sleigh, bidding farewell to ʼNicholasʼ.

”Thank you for specially delivering us, ʼNicholasʼ,” Good Night said, removing his hat in salute. ”Iʼll buy you a drink when I have time.”

Nicholas laughed heartily: ”Ho ho ho, it was nothing... More importantly, I wanted to see the most promising newcomer in our Central China region now.”
”To make the ʼDivinerʼ suffer such a big loss, Iʼm rooting for you!”

Nicholas pointed at Lin Yu, giving him a thumbs up.

Then, he laughed ”ho ho ho” while shaking the reins in his hand.

The reindeerʼs bells rang as this chubby old man hummed ”Jingle Bells” and flew back into the night sky.

Lin Yu watched the departing figure and couldnʼt help but sigh: ”The news spread faster than I imagined.”

His report had only been submitted not long ago.

Good Night lit another cigarette: ”Get used to it, damn it, this is a major achievement.”

”Youʼre about to become incredibly popular!”

”Sounds good, but Captain,” Lin Yu reminded, ”ʼincredibly popularʼ is a derogatory term.”

He kindly reminded this foreigner, Good Night.

Good Night took a deep drag of his cigarette: ”Damn it, I actually know that, I did it on purpose.”

”Because Iʼm filled with resentment and jealousy inside. Recently I got beaten up by ʼFluoxetineʼ and just happened to become a laughingstock... damn it!”

Lin Yu knew that although Good Night said this, since he chose to say it directly to him, he probably didnʼt actually hold any resentment toward him.

”Actually ʼFluoxetineʼ is quite strong too. I think peopleʼs judgment of you is too unfair.”

Lin Yu said seriously, comforting Good Night in the manner befitting ʼMay Mayʼ.

Good Night nodded: ”You understand me, May. Damn it, those people should go try Fluoxetineʼs strength themselves.”

While the two were chatting on the streets of Haicheng, a black Honda Corolla business vehicle slowly stopped in front of them.

The door opened, revealing Li Hua sitting inside wearing black base clothing with a Tang suit featuring red cloud patterns embroidered on the shoulders, making an inviting gesture.

”Good Night, May May... both of you, please get in.”

Good Night got into the car, greeting the other: ”Yo, Gambler... we meet again.”

The car slowly started moving.

Li Hua adjusted his tortoiseshell-frame glasses, nodding slightly at the seated Good Night: ”Good Night, hasnʼt the injury on your hand healed properly yet?”

”The radius bone broke into four pieces, plus ʼBlood Plague Corrosionʼ. Even after calling the organizationʼs doctor to treat me, how could it heal that quickly?”

Good Night explained.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Good Night gestured with his thumb toward Lin Yu beside him.

”The person you wanted, May May, brought him to you.”

”Let me say this upfront - his last dungeon was extremely dangerous. Not only did he escape from the ʼDivinerʼ, he also saved ʼRobinʼ along the way,” Good Night said lightly, as if joking. ”According to reason, he should be on leave now. You urgently called him to Haicheng... shouldnʼt you provide more compensation?”

”Moreover, I also understand the current situation. Whether you admit it or not, these waters are extremely murky!”

Hearing Good Nightʼs words, Lin Yu looked somewhat surprised at his nominal superior.

This Korean guy was really decent.

He had been curious earlier - Good Night seemed to have extensive connections within ʼOrderʼ, not only knowing everyone but apparently having good relationships with everyone.

Now it seemed...

This guy was genuinely likable.

Lin Yu could certainly understand.

Good Nightʼs words just now - first highlighting achievements, then describing difficulties - were obviously to secure benefits for Lin Yu!

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Yuʼs statement, Li Hua tapped on the leather armrest of the car seat.

”Rest assured, Good Night, he wonʼt lose out by making this trip.”

”The organization has always been fair in rewarding and punishing.”

Hearing Li Huaʼs words and feeling his gaze upon him, just as Lin Yu was preparing to respond with thanks...

Good Night spoke up again: ”Hey, hey, hey!”

He crossed his legs, slapping his knee: ”Damn it, brother, I treat you like family, Li Hua. Is this how you treat me?”

”This is my subordinate from Jiangcheng, my right-hand man, someone like a brother to me, damn it! Whatever benefits you have, show them! Who are you trying to fool with that vague promise routine?!”

Good Night shouted, while Li Hua remained very calm.

He adjusted his glasses, seemingly weighing something, then spoke slowly after a moment.

”For the minimum, recording a third-class merit for ʼMay Mayʼ is no problem, plus a supply reward package worth 500 points.”

”As long as he can provide useful clues or ideas, we can continue increasing the reward amount. With my authority, I can offer him up to 1500 points plus one [Support Opportunity] - allowing him to have an available ʼThird Tierʼ player from the organization take him through a dungeon for free.”

”Of course, if he takes the primary role in investigating the truth of the matter, finding the culprit, or tracking down the whereabouts of the lost item, I can also authorize him to choose any unclaimed advanced [item] from the ʼOrderʼ Haicheng branch warehouse, or if the Haicheng ʼauctionʼ can proceed as scheduled... whatever item catches his eye, Iʼll bid for it for him.”

Li Hua spoke calmly.

Good Night exhaled: ”Thatʼs more like it!”

Lin Yu also knew it was finally his turn to speak.

Calculating the value of those things in his mind, Lin Yu had already decided...

”No matter what, I must solve this case!”

But Lin Yu still maintained ʼMay Mayʼs persona verbally.

”Rewards or not are secondary. Whatʼs important is that the organization has needs, and I will definitely give my all!”

Lin Yu said seriously.

”So, about the detailed information regarding this investigation, can you show it to me now?”

”Of course, weʼre actually on our way there right now.”

Li Hua nodded, pulling out a tablet computer from beside the seat.

”All current case information is on here. Please review it first.”
