Awakening and Negotiation

For Lin Yu, what could be more exhilarating than winning the Best Film Emperor award and going on stage to accept it?

Of course, I refused to accept the prize!

If I can't act...

This kind of scene is more in line with Lin Yu's "daydream" scenario.

This is what he has always wanted to do.

The "illusion" also froze the moment the trophy shattered.

After being harshly rebuked by Lin Yu, the astonished expressions of the host and guests on stage, as well as the authorities and celebrities in the audience, froze.

The only one still able to move was Lin Yu.

As well as...

The God of Feasts, Wine, and Revelry appeared beside Lin Yu.

"I see!"

The man, who resembled a wine jug-head, wore a long white robe that trailed on the ground. He held an ornate gold goblet in his left hand and a Kiricore ceramic cup in his Right Hand, and swayed as he looked around.

At this moment, He transformed into a figure the same size as an ordinary person, even slightly shorter than Lin Yu by half a head.

The God of Revelry looked around Lin Yu and marveled at the sight.

"That's amazing... Even better than the honor of being adored by thousands and surrounded by admirers is the feeling of trampling others' coveted fame underfoot..."

"I never even considered this possibility before!"

The Deity spoke with great praise.

"I'll give you full marks... Guest... I'll give you full marks!"

"The God of Revelry said excitedly."

Lin Yu remained relatively calm upon seeing the sudden appearance of the God of Revelry.

"I'm just following my heart's desire."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the God of Revelry transformed the painted features on the wine jug into a passionate expression.

"That's what makes you so precious... this level of 'obsession' and 'sincerity,' this beautiful and unconscious 'pride' and 'livelyness'..."

"You were even the first to finish!"

"Ka has already told me that neither that glass of [Mist Island Manor Mourning Brew] he was so proud of, [The Blood of the Victor is Always Sweet], from our first meeting had the slightest effect on you..."

"As expected of the seventh uninvited guest at this banquet!"

"I will continue to keep an eye on you... If you could become my kin, my agent, I'm sure it would bring the most interesting banquets and the most joy!"

The God of Revelry drew closer--

"So... sir, are you interested in this?"

Before Lin Yu could answer, the God of Revelry suddenly raised a finger.

"Wait, wait, don't rush to answer me—let's finish the banquet procedures first."

As he spoke, the God of Revelry snapped his fingers crisply.

The frozen illusion collapsed, and Lin Yu returned to his chair.

The voice of the God of Banquets rang out from above.

"Adding 'arrogance' to 'honor'... a brilliant idea, a perfect fit!"

"I'll reward you with five ropes!"

Five ropes were lowered down and landed in front of Lin Yu.

The clear liquor in Lin Yu's hand jingled, and several sharp-edged Ice Cube appeared.

He raised his cup in homage to the Deity and then drank the wine in it in one gulp.

The cold Ice Cube sharpen the taste of this high-proof liquor, reduce the burning sensation, and add more layers of complexity to its mellow aroma.

In addition to the oral cavity, a light, slightly tipsy feeling also appeared.

"Call--"

Lin Yu exhaled a strong smell of alcohol.

Although the reason is unclear...

However, the "experience" provided by this drink truly made him feel that "arrogance" was the most fitting word to describe it.

He took the opportunity to observe the other Player.

Everyone held their own cup, their eyes glazed over, as if lost in a beautiful illusion.

Obviously...

Just as the God of Banquets said.

Lin Yu was the first to "complete" and "awaken".

Moreover, judging from the progress...

He remains far ahead.

"It seems that although I can't compare to these true Player and masters in many aspects, and they are all geniuses far superior to me... I'm not entirely useless compared to them."

Lin Yu murmured to himself, filled with emotion.

As Lin Yu sighed, Deity Lin Yu in mid-air looked at him with a strange expression.

His strange expression seemed to say...

"How did this person come up with the idea of adding 'arrogance' to the drink?"

The Best Daydream is a projection of everyone's inner self. To complete this drink, one needs to use the most genuine and intense "emotions" within.

The guest's reaction now is almost too humble, isn't it?

However, the God of Revelry, true to his name, doesn't dwell too much on these issues.

And...

Another Player woke up on the field.

Lin Yu looked at A'yu, who was sitting across the table.

She let out a breath, looking very relieved.

"That was so much fun!"

The voice of the Deity resounded in the sky once more.

"Adding 'killing' to 'victory'... not a bad idea."

"I'll reward you with two ropes!"

Two ropes fell in front of A'yu.

Just from listening to the God of Revelry's words, Lin Yu roughly understood what A'yu had dreamed about and what she had done.

This little girl must have been fighting someone in her dream and then wiped out everyone she fought.

The color of the soy milk in her hand changed slightly, becoming deeper in color.

A'yu picked up the cup of soy milk and gulped it down, then grinned, revealing a problem.

"The flavor is strong enough... but..."

"After adding the saltiness to balance it out, it's surprisingly not bad."

A'yu spoke, she noticed another person on the field who was clearly awake.

"Hey, Nail Sister? You're the fastest again?"

The [Best Daydream] just now must have really pleased A'yu; the girl seems to be in a very good mood.

Midway through, she kept calling Lin Yu's name, but it kept changing to "Fluoxetine"...

This brings her back to her original nickname, "Nail Sister," which also reflects some of A'yu's emotional changes.

"Yes, I'm the fastest."

Lin Yu said with a smile.

A'yu blinked and remarked with admiration, "No wonder they're from the 'Psychology Society'; their resilience to psychological attacks is truly remarkable."

"But then again, what's with those five ropes in front of you?"

"Is this your reward?"

Lin Yu did not deny it. "Of course."

"That's amazing! How did you do that?"

A'yu asked instinctively.

Lin Yu looked at her, tilted his head slightly and chuckled, "That's a secret, A'yu."

A'yu didn't delve into it further, and simply shrugged.

"Oh well, it's that weird, rambling behavior again..."

"The riddle before was the same, all twists and turns, completely incomprehensible!"

However, A'yu's attention was quickly drawn to someone else.

"Hey, the 'Gambler' has come out too!"

Li Hua woke up beside Lin Yu.
