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

Chapter 1605 Octopus Museum

For Lin Yu, this was also a rare moment of leisure in his life, a rare occurrence since he joined the "Death Game".

But Lin Yu did not let his guard down—compared to Chen Le, who clearly believed in "live for today," Lin Yu remained vigilant and cautious even in such a leisurely moment.

"Be happy, but don't forget the important thing... I got what I wanted, but I haven't gotten yours yet."

Lin Yu complained, while Chen Le waved his hand.

"Don't worry, don't worry, 'Zhu Ming,' I haven't forgotten the important matter! But right now, there's really nothing we can do, right?"

"So, Your Excellency Hannah, where are we going next?"

When Hannah, who was leading the two, heard Chen Le speak up, the little octopus, who had already become somewhat familiar with the 'fisherman,' also chimed in easily: "Ribbit—! Of course, I'll show you around our community's 'museum'!"

Lin Yu and Chen Le were both somewhat surprised.

"museum?"

"You even have a museum here?"

Hannah said proudly, "Quack, of course, boss... This is the most important place in our clan community!"

"Quack, you rarely come all this way, of course you have to take a look."

Hearing Hannah's confident and proud tone, Lin Yu did indeed feel a surge of anticipation.

After all, he really liked places like museums.

As a top student majoring in humanities, Chen Le naturally showed great interest.

"A museum...it's a great place to stroll around after a meal to digest your food."

"Although I originally wanted to ask if there was any way to get to the small island in the water... but since there's a museum, let's go check it out first."

As Chen Le spoke, Hannah became somewhat curious.

"Quack? Why are you asking about the island?"

Chen Le coughed lightly: "Cough cough, just... getting some fresh air, something."

Hannah suddenly realized, "Quack, oh right, you're a land creature... Have you been itching to be cooped up for a bit?"

Lin Yu mercilessly exposed Chen Le: "No, he should have some kind of ability to breathe underwater, just like me—because he can speak and do so without any obstruction, and there are no bubbles coming out of his mouth or nose."

"He asked you where there were any small islands, simply because he wanted to go there... to fish."

Hannah looked at Chen Le and said with a sudden realization, "Quack, so that's how it is!"

Chen Le looked away: "'Zhu Ming,' you look exactly like the boss."

Lin Yu said helplessly, "The fish in the Central Sea all belong to owners. Fishing and angling are all against the rules."

“If I don’t get caught, it’s not against the rules. Besides, I’ll just take a picture after I catch it and throw it back,” Chen Le said, rubbing his nose. “I’ve fished like this a few times before without any problems—and besides, this time there’s Hannah and Ka involved, isn’t there?”

Just as Hannah was about to agree, Lin Yu interrupted her: "Don't use her face to do this kind of thing... The fish in this Middle Sea don't look particularly big, why are you so excited?"

Chen Le coughed twice: "That's true... When you're full and comfortable, you always want to play a couple of rounds when the urge strikes."

Lin Yu looked at Chen Le and said seriously, "Then try to overcome it."

Chen Le helplessly spread his hands: "I didn't necessarily have to go... but I did agree to go to the museum, didn't I?"

The two followed behind Hannah, and soon...

Hannah stopped in her tracks.

"Croak! We've arrived!"

As Hannah spoke, she pointed to a rather conspicuous building.

It was a tall, dark, square building, resembling a temple, constructed from large blocks of black reef.

In this Octopus-themed community, where most houses are not very large, but rather small and exquisite, and the colors are quite colorful, buildings with such a "grand" and "solemn" style are indeed rare.

And at the entrance of this building...

A large group of octopuses lined up in an orderly, winding queue at the entrance, waiting to enter through a small door on the right side of the museum.

Hannah was right; this building was indeed the most important building for their tribe—and also the most bustling.

Looking at the hundreds of octopuses queuing up, Lin Yu praised, "Hannah, your tribe has a really rich cultural atmosphere and a high average level of cultural literacy... I didn't expect so many of your compatriots to be interested in museums and to queue up to visit them."

There are hundreds of octopuses queuing at the entrance alone, and if you add those inside who are visiting, there must be thousands of octopuses.

Hannah said shyly, "Quack, no, it's just that everyone is just very curious, plus the collection here is updated quite quickly."

Lin Yu was somewhat puzzled: "Does your museum's collection... get updated very quickly?"

Hannah nodded: "Quack, of course—although the vast majority of the collection...the artifacts and relics related to the outer seas, gods, and previous civilizations will not change—at most, only some of the more valuable ones will be rotated."

"Quack, but... this museum will also exhibit some 'living creatures'—they will probably be changed every week with a major change and every day with a minor change."

Lin Yu was successfully piqued by Hannah: "Live exhibits that change every week? What's going on?"

"Quack, it's to show everyone the newly emerging delicious sea creatures, or that certain delicious sea creatures have entered their seasonal ripening period, and usually there will be chefs invited to perform and teach everyone how to prepare these seasonal sea creatures in a very entertaining way," Hannah explained. "If you really want to talk about it... the performances in this museum serve a lot of the function of a 'weather forecast' - except it's a 'sea creature forecast'."

After hearing Hannah's explanation, Lin Yu understood.

"I see……"

He began to understand why "museums" were so popular with octopuses.

It turns out that although this "museum" is called a museum and its main function is a museum, it also has functions such as a tutoring center and a community activity center.

"Anyway, let's go queue up—we don't know how long the queue will take."

Chen Le chimed in from the side.

But when Chen Le said that, Hannah was a little confused: "Huh? Why do we have to queue?"

Chen Le was a little stunned: "Because everyone is queuing up... Is it because we two aren't octopuses, but visitors from other races, that we get priority?"

"I think... I'm afraid not."

Lin Yudai Hannah answered the question.

What happened next proved that Lin Yu was right.

Hannah led the two to the entrance on the right side of the museum.

There...

An octopus wearing a gray hat, which looked like a guard, saw the pink Hannah swimming over and immediately raised five of its eight tentacles to greet her.

"Hello! Dear Miss Ba... Welcome!"

After speaking, the octopus opened the previously closed entrance door behind it and made a "please" gesture.

Seeing this, Chen Le couldn't help but marvel.

Although he knew that the title of "Chosen One" was useful...

But Chen Le didn't expect it to be so useful.

After all, this is already a community of octopuses—and most of the octopuses here are related to Kaka.

Moreover, none of the three of them even mentioned the card; Hannah simply showed her face, and they were given priority entry.

Hannah also waved her tentacles at the other party.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Chen Le sighed, "Is this what privilege is?"

“Quack, it’s more of a ‘right’ than a privilege,” Hannah explained, not at all bothered by Chen Le’s statement. “After all, almost all of the museum’s permanent collections, about 70%, come from Uncle Ka Quack.”

"And of the remaining 30%, 70% were donated by my other aunts, uncles, and my mother!"

Lin Yu understood what Hannah meant.

"Rather than calling this an octopus museum, it's more accurate to say it's a display of their own collection..."

Hannah nodded: "Quack, yes—back then, my sixth uncle even went on a special trip to the outer sea to collect and borrow many rare items in order to build this place."

“‘Collect’, ‘borrow’…hmm,” Chen Le pondered Hannah’s words meaningfully, “The King of the Deep Sea’s methods are gentler than I imagined.”

During their conversation, they also entered the interior of the museum—which was similar to the museums that Lin Yu and Chen Le had visited.

The spacious exhibition halls are interconnected, with display cases of varying sizes arranged in a staggered pattern, and each display case has an introduction to the exhibited collection.

Upon entering, they naturally went directly to the largest central exhibition hall, where they could see several display cases that were clearly the most precious collections. In the very center of the central exhibition hall, there was a specially raised area with only three display cases on it.

Lin Yu glanced at it and narrowed his eyes.

The three display cases are arranged in a triangular pattern. The items inside are not very large. From a distance, you can tell that they are roughly a necklace-style piece of jewelry, a dagger that is curved like a snake, and a half-open gold box.

Even through the glass case, which was clearly sealed in some kind of way, Lin Yu could sense it...

These three items are definitely not of low status.

Although he didn't recognize what the three most prominent display cases on the exhibition stand contained what looked like "treasures of the museum," Lin Yu could easily guess based on the status of these three items and Chen Le's somewhat absent-minded attitude beside him.

"Do you have the nine rare treasures you requested?"

Lin Yu spoke up.

Chen Le nodded: "Yes, there are."

Lin Yu continued, "Which one?"

Chen Le stared intently at the three display cases and licked his lips.

"It seems... all three of them are."
