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

Chapter 786: Dog Trainer, Zhu Ming

From the perspective of the audience, what happened in those few seconds could only be described as shocking.

An explosion, a separation, and then an overwhelming flood of spider silk.

The moment after the spider silk wrapped around and covered A-Yin, it actually unraveled on its own.

And A-Yin... chose to concede with a cupped-fist salute and jumped straight down.

For some in the audience, the feeling was nothing but sheer awe!

Even though quite a few experts had realized that the ”Causality Silk” divine ability must have been activated, and the two must have had some conversation after which A-Yin chose to concede—

Still, this sudden chain of events, the way they seemed evenly matched just a second ago with both apparently holding reserves, only for the next moment to see the outcome decided, and in the form of a direct concession...

This impact left nearly everyone speechless.

”What a shame that he conceded just like that.”

Seagull said with a regretful sigh.

Bi Fang shook her head. ”The only choice he had was to concede. His final move was the bet of this match—the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lordʼs divine ability, ʼCausality Silk.ʼ Once hit by that... if he didnʼt concede, it could have caused irreparable losses.”

Li Hua also nodded slightly. ”We should even be grateful that the other side gave A-Yin the chance to concede.”

”Even without the Causality Silk ability, itʼs the same. A-Yin has always been called the strongest ʼSecond Tierʼ within ʼOrder,ʼ but this girl might very well be the true strongest ʼSecond Tier.ʼ”

Grandmaster said, resting her chin on one hand. The members of ʼOrderʼ all nodded slowly.

”Having someone like this in the ʼPsychological Societyʼ... itʼs going to be a huge problem.”

Snowy Owl frowned slightly.

On the other side, unlike the worried ʼOrder,ʼ the ʼPsychological Societyʼ and ʼFree Allianceʼ were naturally overjoyed to see this nearly overwhelming victory.

”She truly is a fine seedling from the Executive Department. With her here, our plans will certainly proceed more smoothly,” Wundt murmured. ”She might even grow into a high-ranking existence herself... How exciting.”

Banduraʼs projection nodded. ”Truly worthy of being an S-class... This battle was practically perfect.”

”The word ʼperfectʼ is far too barren to describe her,” Fluoxetine interrupted Bandura, squinting her eyes like a cat. ”This was a battle as magnificent as a work of art—gorgeous, dazzling, beautiful...”

”Oohee—itʼs so amazing!”

She said this, staring at the figure standing in the arena.

”I canʼt wait... I canʼt wait for you to get stronger. I really want to see what your [Exclusive Item] will be, I want to know what your ʼHeart Domainʼ looks like. Just thinking about it makes me want to fast-forward time.”

Fluoxetine whispered.

”Pure lack of skill. Although A-Yin is already strong enough, his underdeveloped mastery of his own ʼScholarʼ ability has been his downfall. It made him look like he was always targeting others, but in reality, he was also very easy to target,” Grandmaster gave her evaluation. ”Still... itʼs quite impressive. No other ʼSecond Tierʼ could have won against this girl.”

On the contrary, his expression was pensive.

”As expected... the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord carries a ʼFate Fragment.ʼ”

”So now, there are two fragments on ʼSecond Tierʼ players, huh... Tch, and these two ʼSecond Tiersʼ have a rather unusual relationship.”

Neptune heard the Divinerʼs muttering and asked.

”Boss, should we make a move after we get out?”

”No... thereʼs no need to act over just one Fate Fragment. These two are both ʼSecond Tier,ʼ but one of them is key to ʼOrderʼ—last time, it was because of him that ʼGrandmasterʼ managed to lock onto our location,” the Diviner shook his head. ”The other... neither the ʼPsychological Societyʼ nor the ʼFree Allianceʼ would allow me to strike.”

”Besides, these two arenʼt as thoroughly severed as they appear to be,” the Diviner said in a low voice. ”Back on the Misty Islands, I saw that octopus... It wasnʼt on this woman; that ʼDirectorʼ was the one carrying it.”

”So their relationship was once good enough to exchange [items] with each other?”

Fish asked in surprise.

”Yeah, this even traces back to the level of the gods. The fates of both of them are obscured by the same God of Change,” the Diviner nodded. ”So... maybe theyʼre both the link between the Banquet God and the God of Change in their cooperation.”

”Trying to seize the ʼFate Fragmentsʼ in their hands might not be any easier than going after the one the ʼFeng Shui Masterʼ has.”

The Diviner paused, then continued, ”So... we still need to plan carefully. Trading for them would be the best option.”

”Iʼve already extended goodwill to the ʼDirectorʼ before.”

”As for this ʼClozapineʼ... since sheʼs not with ʼOrder,ʼ there might be even more opportunities to get in touch.”

When the Diviner reached this point, Neptune understood.

”So not only do we not make a move, but we should also do our best to build a good relationship with this ʼClozapineʼ?”

”Of course.”

The Diviner nodded, finalizing the ʼMaraudersʼ strategy toward the two.

”The ʼDirectorʼ is in ʼOrderʼ—you donʼt need to do anything special. But when it comes to ʼClozapine,ʼ our focus should be on winning her over as much as possible...”

As the audience buzzed with noise, Earl the Flameʼs voice rang out again.

”Player ʼA-Yinʼ has lost consciousness for over ten seconds. The winner of this match is—”

But just as he was about to announce the victory, Earlʼs voice was cut off.

”Hold on.”

Lin Yu raised his hand and spoke to Earl.

Earl clearly hadnʼt expected a player to interrupt him.

But... the Land of Certain Death always gave preferential treatment to the victor.

Especially since Lin Yu had already demonstrated that he had been ”invested” by the Banquet God.

”If thereʼs anything you need, please speak!”

Earl said with a smile to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu scanned the entire stands, finally fixing his gaze on the ʼPsychological Societyʼ seats.

”When you announce the winner next, please donʼt call me ʼClozapine,ʼ Your Excellency... That name is far too ugly.”

He locked eyes with Fluoxetine.

On this stage, within ”Zhu Mingʼs” script, after this awe-inspiring battle that had drawn everyoneʼs attention, at the moment of victory announcement, the true climax of the performance was about to begin.

Lin Yu raised his head. The breeze brushed through the strands of hair at his temples, carrying the girlʼs calm and composed declaration in all directions.

”I intend to withdraw from the ʼPsychological Societyʼ and join the ʼFree Alliance.ʼ”

”So Iʼll be taking a new code name.”

The entire venue fell into silence.

The first to react was Li Nian.

”Yay! Sister Zhu Ming—welcome!”

Then Comedian reacted, bursting into laughter.

”Announcing this at a time like this? How... utterly amusing!”

”I approve! Friend!”

”From today on, Zhu Ming, you are one of us!”

Comedian stood up, and all the ʼFree Allianceʼ members present rose to their feet—even a few wounded were helped up.

Earl watched this scene and asked, ”Very well. Then what would you like to be called?”

Lin Yu turned to look at Comedian, softly reporting the code name she had long prepared, one that fit the ʼFree Allianceʼsʼ naming standards.

”ʼDog Trainer.ʼ”

”ʼDog Trainerʼ Zhu Ming.”
