Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 958: Favorable Treatment and Privileges

"I don't quite understand. Although you're powerful, we still have to be wary of those from the Order. Even if we don't consider the factors on the Order side, wouldn't offending the mermaid royal family and becoming famous invite retaliation? Those mermaids are very united!"

"Even if they can't do anything to you head-on, you still have to be careful of their dirty tricks and subterfuge."

On the way to the appraisal center, April asked, still puzzled.

In her opinion, it is not a bad thing to keep a low profile even if you have the ability.

After all, their primary task is to collect certain [materials], and making a fortune in silence is the most appropriate thing to do.

Lin Yu understood April's thoughts, but his choice to act in a high-profile manner was not just to shape the character of Yali.

"No matter who comes from the Order, if they dare to come to me, I will deal with them," Lin Yu said confidently, flexing his wrist. "As for the mermaid royal family... what we want to collect are the Mermaid Tears. If this purpose is exposed, we will eventually stand against them, sooner or later."

April shook her head. "These are just ways to address the 'disadvantages' of our current fame. You haven't told me the advantages of being high-profile!"

As she spoke, Lin Yu looked at her again: "So, April, it seems that you really haven't encountered any teammates with strong positive abilities."

"The benefits of my high-profile approach are obvious—since we're bound to offend the merpeople, why not do it thoroughly?"

"Don't mermaids have enemies... Especially the collector named 'Hai Mu Zun', to whom we're trading the Mermaid's Teardrops. Since he's already selling the Mermaid's Teardrops, could he be someone with a close relationship with the mermaids?"

Having said that, Lin Yu paused, giving April time to think, and then said, "So, it's a good thing for us to let everyone know as soon as possible that we don't get along with the mermaids. Moreover... our status as the mysterious VIP of the 'Central Sea' should also make it easier for us to approach that 'Sea Eye Lord' - even if he doesn't notice us, when he gets to know us, his first impression will be that we are two 'noble' guys."

"Of course...if we want to be effective, just scaring the mermaid royal family is not enough." Lin Yu took out the wrapped "tentacles" and "grilled fish fillets" from his backpack. "Next, we have to sell something."

As Lin Yu spoke, Siyue was surprised: "Are these all plans you came up with on the spur of the moment? You're more meticulous than I thought."

Looking at April's surprised expression, Lin Yu blinked, revealing an unhappy but not fierce look.

"Because Ah Yu introduced me here, I'm very strong, I just got into a fight over a disagreement, and I seem to have lived in the wild and interacted with animals all year round, so you think I'm reckless, wild, stupid, and impulsive, right?"

April shook her head: "I didn't, I just thought you would..."

She carefully considered her words and tentatively asked, "...will you be more spontaneous and straightforward?"

"That's exactly what I meant, I just said it in a nicer way," Lin Yu curled his lips, "So, it's really a huge misunderstanding... Although I do have an impatient personality, I don't deny that, but... don't underestimate the wild side."

"Strength and anger alone won't allow you to survive in the wild. Animals may be stupid, but they also have their own cunning," Lin Yu said, looking at April. "Patience and cunning are also my strengths."

"What's more... although I like being in the wild, I don't plan to stay there forever. I have dreams and ambitions!"

April Surprise: "Dream?"

"Haven't you ever thought about it? I thought most 'players' of this game would have very clear dreams," Lin Yu said, and then continued, "My dream is a rather tacky one... I hope to make a lot of money and become a respected big shot, able to fly around the world, with a professional team to go on adventures with me. When I'm not in the wild, I will live in a super high-rise flat in the heart of the most prosperous city, take a bottle of ice wine from the wine cabinet every night, walk through the sunken living room to the floor-to-ceiling window and overlook the city's neon lights and the distant skyline. Everyone who sees me will only flatter and respect me, they are curious about my life and thoughts, praise and admire my experiences. At that time, I can also casually say some nonsense like 'My success comes from my affinity with nature', and maybe even publish an autobiographical book called 'Living Like a Lion'... I want power, wealth, status, fame, the feeling of being above and dominating others, and finally die surrounded by people."

Although it was just a casual remark at first, Lin Yu's tone gradually revealed determination and his eyes also glowed.

April was stunned after hearing these words.

"It's really... quite specific, but it's not cheesy either. It's actually rare to find someone who can directly talk about pursuing these worldly successes."

April muttered.

The two stopped paddling and stood at the door of a building.

In front of the spherical black building here hangs a tall sign that reads "Siren Kingdom Capital Academy Appraisal Institute".

This is the destination of Lin Yu and April - because of the Tide Festival, this place is also filled with many creatures from various races.

After all, if you want to sell something precious at the Tide Festival, identification is the first step.

Lin Yu and Siyue had just arrived at the door and had not had time to line up at the end of the line when they saw a siren wearing the black work uniform of the appraisal institute coming towards them.

"You two, you two...you are Ms. Yayu and Ms. April who just came from the teleportation array, right?"

"We've heard that you two are distinguished guests from the Middle Sea, and you have something you'd like to appraise and sell at this Tidewalk Festival, correct?"

The siren asked kindly with a smile on her face.

Lin Yu nodded: "Of course."

"Okay, both of you—please follow me. I will arrange for a professional senior appraiser for you two."

The siren made a gesture of invitation and pointed to the VIP passage on the side which was much less crowded.

Lin Yu looked at April and spread out his hands.

"You see, this is the benefit of being high-profile, the benefit of status—you can enjoy preferential treatment and privileges."

Lin Yu answered April's two questions at the same time.
