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

Chapter 1017 Another Hypnosis

Sitting on a bench in the rest area by the field, Chongning seemed very happy to see his brother whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Great, Shigehira. How have you been lately? Is your 'apprentice' thing going well?"

Lin Yu imitated Chong Ping and spoke confidently, "Of course, my progress is going very smoothly... I have no idea that anything unexpected will happen. I will definitely become a 'hero' in the future!"

Chongning smiled and said, "That's amazing! Our family is going to have a 'hero'... When you were chosen to be the 'apprentice', your parents were so happy."

Lin Yu, who had already entered the role, said seriously, "That's not true, sister. There's no distinction between heroes, apprentices, and residents. Heroes are just people with different responsibilities... As a 'resident', you work hard on this Plantation No. 2, which is just as great. If it weren't for your hard work... uh, come to think of it, why set fire to the fields? Burning crop compost?"

Chongning smiled and said, "It's because the research institute here has developed a new 'Red Flame Fruit' using data from the 'Simulated World'. It absorbs high heat and grows rapidly, and when consumed it can dispel cold. I'm in charge of growing this new crop."

Lin Yu nodded: "I see... Look, sister, your work is just as great!"

"Not at all, little brother! The researchers who developed these fruits, and the apprentices and heroes who brought back the data from the 'simulated world' are more powerful," Chongning shook his head. "I'm just burning the fields with a flamethrower here. Anyone can do that."

Lin Yu still disagreed - he knew Chongping would not agree either.

"No one can do it. You are the one doing this, so this is the value that only you have created. After all, you have endured the high temperature and hard work," Lin Yu said seriously. "You must value your work and respect the fruits of your own labor before you can respect the fruits of others' labor."

As Lin Yu spoke, Chongning nodded, not quite understanding.

"Little brother, you have indeed become more mature after becoming an 'apprentice'. Those words are quite good."

Lin Yu waved his hand: "No, it's just that the experience of the 'simulated world' can really make people grow very quickly... However, I remember that Sister Ning, when you were in the academy, you were still learning to maintain the portal..."

Unlike the "teleportation cabin", the "teleportation gate" can be regarded as a "freight" channel between areas. It is a large "space gate" on the space barrier that can be opened manually.

Moreover, the portal can connect any two of the twenty-six areas.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Chongning smiled and shook his head: "After all, portal maintenance doesn't require that many people, and my grades are not excellent in the field of portal maintenance."

"There were sixty-five people in our class who studied this major, but only seventeen of them actually managed the portal."

"But fortunately, the 'Portal' is the most advanced and complex large-scale equipment. Those who can learn it will be able to operate, maintain, and manage other space equipment faster. Even if you don't work in the 'space equipment' field, it's easy to switch to other fields, and others will think you are capable." Chongning patted the flamethrower beside him and said, "Just like the cultivation of the new experimental crops, I will also be responsible for it."

Lin Yu laughed: "I said Sister Ning, you are very powerful."

"That can't be compared to 'apprentices' and 'heroes'... I can't even compare to the researchers working at the institute."

Chongning still insists on the supremacy of "apprentice" and "hero" - of course, her concept is actually more mainstream in the mirror world.

People like Chongping are actually the outliers.

After chatting with Chongning about family matters for a while and feeling that the other party was becoming more and more calm and relaxed, Lin Yu also got down to business.

"By the way...Sister Ning, among those who studied with you and ended up maintaining the portal, was there someone you were familiar with?"

Lin Yu asked casually.

Chongping had never talked to him about this - but there was nothing wrong with what Lin Yu said.

Chongning seemed to be a very friendly guy. Among the sixty-five people who studied together, seventeen went to work on the portal maintenance. Among them, there was definitely at least one person that Chongning could say he was "familiar".

What’s even more clever about Lin Yu’s question is…if there is someone who is “familiar” with the above relationship, Chongning will definitely say it immediately.

Just like now...

Chongning laughed. "Yes, you have a pretty good memory... But it's not just 'more familiar', you're my good friend."

"You were already an 'apprentice' at that time, so you didn't happen to see her when she came to my house a few times. But I did tell you a few times that it was a girl named 'Xixi'."

"She's incredibly hardworking and intelligent. Both of her parents are researchers... She's currently doing routine maintenance on the 'portal' in Area 5."

Lin Yu looked at Chongning and said with a smile: "That's great, Sister Ning - are you still in touch?"

"Of course, although we haven't seen each other for a while, the last time we met was three weeks ago," Chongning recalled, then waved his hand, "but compared to seeing you, it's much more frequent!"

"Sorry, sorry," Lin Yu clasped his hands together, "But... I'm quite free today, because I made a breakthrough in my 'apprentice' progress today. Things should be much easier in the future... So, why don't I wait for Sister Ning to finish your work, and then go to your place for dinner to celebrate!"

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

"By the way... I'd also like to hear about your experiences over the years, Sister Ning—especially your friendship with Sister Xixi. I'm quite curious."

Chongning readily agreed: "Of course, no problem - I live on my own in District 11 now, and my room is empty, so it's no problem for you to stay overnight - I can even give you a taste of my homemade wine!"

……

……

……

Three hours later, Lin Yu covered the sleeping Chongning with a blanket and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... He drank so much. Even without hypnosis, it will probably take a long time for him to wake up."

He took away Chongning's terminal, and then the [Mask] changed again, turning into Chongning's appearance.

Lin Yu came to the streets of the mirror world again and had a new destination.

This time's destination...

The fifth district, of course.

Lin Yu used the "teleportation cabin" to jump continuously and soon arrived at the location of Area 5.

He took out Chongning's terminal, unlocked it with the password he had obtained, and found a contact named "Xixi".

"Hey, Xixi, I'm in District 5. Are you working?"
