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

Inside the teleporter, Lin Yu felt the rapidly shifting light and shadows around him and realized this was a completely different experience from using the Heart-Mind Teleportation Gun and traveling via anchor points.

Although he didn’t know the principle behind it, the Heart-Mind Teleportation Gun was somewhat like ”point” to ”point” - he entered one anchor point, and then could emerge from another anchor point.

But this ”Pure Abyss” teleporter and its transportation technology seemed more like some kind of...

”Super high-speed passage” built using spatial distortion technology.

He could feel his own ”movement process” - it was just that this process was extremely fast, faster than any known physical vehicle of transportation.

After just a few seconds, when he came to his senses again, Lin Yu and April had already stepped out from the other end of the teleporter.

”Truly amazing.”

April exclaimed, looking at the scenery around them that had already changed.

At this moment, they had arrived within the Sea Demon Kingdom!

Although Baobol was already a very prosperous city, the Sea Demon capital still gave the two of them a refreshing, brand-new feeling!

Equally massive clusters of cylindrical and spherical metal buildings sat within the city, but the buildings on the Sea Demon side were all more enormous and heavy, and their colors leaned toward darker shades.

The division of waterways was more tightly packed than in the Mermaid Kingdom, and the styles of submersibles were all of the broader, thicker type.

And while Baobol had only one teleporter, in the Sea Demon capital...

a full seven stood towering!

Each one was constantly being flooded with all sorts of Pure Abyss races - clearly, because of the Tide Summoning Festival, all the races had converged upon this city.

And at this moment, Lin Yu and April were indeed rather attention-grabbing.

Because...

the other teleporters were each disgorging thousands of people at a time, wave after wave of people pouring out.

Only Lin Yu and April were just two people walking directly out of a teleporter the size of a sports stadium!

In that densely packed space crowded with human heads and fish heads, two people suddenly appeared, and the massive disparity in visual perspective naturally drew everyone’s gazes all at once.

And this kind of situation would also make people react.

”What’s going on? That teleporter, how did only two people come out?”

”Those must be two big shots!”

”What, big shots take teleporters too? Shouldn’t they arrive by submersible? And they didn’t bring any attendants at all!”

”Maybe it’s just an eccentricity or some special need!”

”Teleporter number six seems to connect to several nodes in the Mermaid Kingdom, so why are humans coming out?”

”Both of them look like human women, and they’re not old either. Could either of them meet the criteria?”

The various races around them all whispered and chattered, feeling somewhat curious.

And the Sea Demons responsible for operating and maintaining the teleporters saw two suspected big-shot humans walking out of the teleporter and also exchanged glances.

Afterward, the supervising Sea Demon in charge of directing and receiving teleporter number six stepped forward to greet them.

Although humans and Sea Demons didn’t get along, to the point of fighting to the death, these humans had properly followed the procedures, come out of the teleporter, and were participating in the Tide Summoning Festival under the witness of all races, and were suspected to be human big shots...

The Sea Demons certainly wouldn’t be brainless enough to deliberately throw them a nasty look just to demonstrate hostility.

”You two, may I ask who you are...”

Looking at the several Sea Demon management staff who had come forward, Lin Yu slightly arched an eyebrow.

Just as the information had said, Sea Demons didn’t look all that different from mermaids - aside from the Sea People and humans, who were completely similar in form to Earth humans, and the sea beasts, who were simply various talking marine creatures, the remaining five races were basically all half-human, half-fish in form.

The difference lay only in the details.

Mermaids had a clear division between their upper and lower halves, and their upper bodies generally looked like those of very handsome humans.

Fish People also had webbed hands, obvious gill-line openings on their necks, and generally no hair.

Sea Demons, meanwhile, had robust physiques, upper bodies also covered with a layer of relatively faint scales, hands that were massive, sharp claw-like structures, and mouths that were generally large with sharp double rows of shark teeth.

Watching several gray, tall Sea Demons approach the two of them, even though she knew they were well-intentioned and were themselves logistics personnel, April couldn’t help but feel nervous.

”We are humans who came from Baobol City to participate in the Tide Summoning Festival. I am April.”

April introduced herself.

Lin Yu gave a slight nod. ”I am Yayu.”

As the two of them spoke, the Sea Demons exchanged looks.

Names they had never heard, and no self-introduction of any illustrious family background either.

”Forgive me for asking presumptuously, but is this teleporter only carrying the two of you this time?”

The Sea Demon management staff tentatively asked again.

Lin Yu nodded. ”Of course, because we don’t like sharing a teleporter with others.”

”That said... if you want to know exactly what happened, when the next batch of people from Baobol City arrive by teleporter, you can ask them,” Lin Yu paused here, ”Of course, the next batch might not be willing to talk, so you can also wait for the batch after that.”

After saying this, he lightly patted April.

”Sorry, we don’t have time to stay and answer all your questions. After all, our time is very precious - by the way, I’d like to ask, I want to apply for a stall at this Tracing the Source Festival to sell some things. Where should I go to apply?”

The Sea Demon managers sensed the confidence in Lin Yu’s tone - they originally had the authority to forcibly detain Lin Yu and April to clarify their identities, and usually Sea Demons wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to make things difficult for humans.

But this confidence, combined with the feat of the two of them using the teleportation array alone, truly made these Sea Demons not dare to act rashly and follow routine procedure.

At this moment, after deliberation, this group of Sea Demon management staff chose to answer Lin Yu’s question: ”Well, if the things you’re selling aren’t of high value and don’t require a sales permit, then that’s fine, but if they’re relatively valuable, you can first go to the appraisal office to obtain an appraisal report, then take the appraisal report to the main trading venue of the Tide Summoning Festival. Staff there will lead you to find a stall to sell your goods.”

Hearing what the Sea Demon said, Lin Yu nodded.

”Let’s go, April.”

As he spoke, following the direction the Sea Demon had pointed out, leaving behind even more whispering and pointing, he departed from the teleporter site.

April followed behind Lin Yu, and having caught on, asked in a low voice: ”Could it be that you were deliberately stirring things up earlier - you deliberately picked a fight with that Mermaid Prince and borrowed his reputation to build momentum for yourself?”

Lin Yu swam forward along the waterway without turning his head, and said: ”Mainly I just found him displeasing to look at, but what you said is indeed one of the reasons for my actions.”

April frowned: ”Being this high-profile, won’t it cause a lot of trouble for our operation? If we want to collect the Mermaid’s Tear, shouldn’t we be more careful?”

”Being high-profile without matching strength will of course bring trouble, but if your own strength is sufficient... the more famous we are, the more advantageous it is.”

Lin Yu looked at April: ”You’ve now witnessed my strength, but you still haven’t understood how to best make use of and utilize this strength of mine... To be honest, April, although you don’t look stupid, you completely don’t understand how a strong team plays.”
