Jian Cunyi: We can take a break now! Lin Yu: I wouldn't be so sure.
In the following time, Lin Yu briefly recounted his observations and actions in Reed River Village to Jian Cunyi and Layman Yun Fengyang.
And the response he received was...
The two sentences are: "This beast deserves to die" and "If you see this lawless bastard again, just call me."
Clearly, Jian Cunyi, who already despised "Diviner" and regarded the common people of the Prison Mountain Realm as his own Jian Cunyi, silently added another debt to the book of Leng Jing's hatred, preparing to settle accounts later.
Yun Fengyang, who originally had a strong opinion against the "Diviner" simply because the other party wanted to release the Demon Ancestor, developed a new Killing Intent after hearing about the more specific evil deeds the other party had committed.
After all...
In terms of the harm caused, the sin of releasing the Demon Ancestor is definitely greater.
But this kind of evil is ultimately macroscopic, leading Yun Fengyang to conclude that the Diviner is a villain who is "Without Taboos" and "uses everything".
But when he heard that the other party would kill half the people in a Village he passed through, he could realize more clearly and intuitively how wicked the Diviner's heart was.
This kind of evil deed, which is "not to be ignored because it is small," actually makes the wickedness of a person all the more terrifying.
This is also what Lin Yu was happy to see.
However, after instilling a new hatred between Jian Cunyi and Yun Fengyang, Lin Yu didn't pursue the matter further, given that the Diviner was not in this realm.
After Master Wei Jian regained consciousness, they placed Master Wei Jian in a nearby town. Yun Fengyang also bid farewell and returned to the "Eternal Prison" to continue his imprisonment.
Afterwards, Lin Yu, along with Qin Siyu who had regained consciousness, and Jian Cunyi, found a nearby Hunyuan Dao Palace Daoist temple, handed over the Demon Core, and thus completed this [Instance] mission.
Blood-red words appeared, and a feeling of dizziness washed over me.
Congratulations on successfully completing the Game "Exorcising Demons from the Mountain"!
[Settling your Game rewards!]
Inside the Settlement Space, Lin Yu opened his eyes, and then heard Jian Cunyi's voice in his ear.
"Brother Lin... we owe you so much this time."
"Now that everything has settled, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you."
He saw Jian Cunyi his hands in a respectful gesture and bow slightly in greeting.
Lin Yu looked at Jian Cunyi and shook his head.
"Brother Jian, you flatter me. This is simply my duty... Stopping the 'Diviner' is necessary for me."
As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi low voice, "But even so... after all, I was the one who took the initiative to approach you and invite you to participate in this matter—and there have been quite a few unexpected events along the way."
"I originally thought I could protect you, and I was certain that the 'Diviner' wouldn't kill someone with a [Fragment of Fate], so I thought... this journey wouldn't be dangerous."
"But as it turns out, I was too overconfident. The changes within the Duxuan Sect, the 'Cold Cicada' and the Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord, and the Demon Ancestor's Formation within the Nine Cold Mountain all far exceeded my expectations... Therefore, I not only want to express my gratitude but also apologize."
"I'm sorry, Brother Lin... you've suffered and faced many dangers along the way."
Lin Yu shook his head again. "It's alright, Brother Jian. This was my choice to begin with... Regardless of your plans or expectations, I was prepared from the beginning that this trip would not be simple."
"In fact, many of these changes have nothing to do with your plans; they're actually aimed at me—like that 'Cold Cicada.' If it weren't for me, he probably wouldn't have helped the 'Diviner' and would have exposed himself as siding with the 'Marauders' here."
"So... if we're really talking about apologizing, I might have to apologize to you—my involvement has made something that should have been simple quite complicated."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Jian Cunyi quickly shook his head again. "How can you say that, Brother Lin... I don't think so... You were definitely more of a help."
You don't need to apologize at all.
Lin Yu laughed, "So, Brother Jian, if we keep calculating like this, we'll never get to the end... If I don't need to apologize, then you don't need to apologize or thank me."
"After all, what 'Death game' doesn't have a [Instance] without risks and unpredictable events... Well, at least I haven't encountered one in all my [Instance] so far."
"Moreover, I haven't come to the Prison Mountain Realm empty-handed... Yun Jushi's favor towards me has increased considerably, and he not only taught me a Secret Technique, but I've also gained a helper with superb lightness skills and first-rate Hidden Weapons abilities."
Lin Yu paused for a moment, then continued, "This doesn't even include the [Item] rewards I received, or the reputation I gained within the Prison Mountain Realm."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Jian Cunyi finally relaxed.
"Since you say so, Brother Lin... I feel much more at ease."
"By the way... Brother Lin, how many achievements did you unlock in this [Instance]?"
Lin Yu glanced at the blood-red notification—since entering this [Settlement Space], he had been communicating with Jian Cunyi and hadn't had time to look at it in detail.
After taking a look, Lin Yu was also somewhat surprised.
[Based on your performance in this Game, you have received the rating "Unraveling the Clues" and have been awarded an additional bonus.]
[Bonus Reward: Randomly receive two "Non-exclusive item" as a reward.]
[Based on your performance in this Game, you have received the rating "Far-Famed" and have been awarded an additional bonus.]
[Bonus Reward: Randomly receive two "Non-exclusive item" as a reward.]
[Based on your performance in this Game, you have received the rating "Benevolence That Saves the World," and have been awarded an additional bonus.]
[Bonus Reward: Randomly receive two "Non-exclusive item" as a reward.]
"The three evaluations are... 'Unraveling the Clues,' 'Far-Famed,' and 'Benevolence That Saves the World.'"
Lin Yu said softly.
Upon Jian Cunyi praised, "Truly impressive, Brother Lin... It's very rare to get three ratings from just one [Instance]."
"You even got three extra [Item] this time... that's quite a haul indeed."
Actually, there are six items.
Lin Yu thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud. He simply spoke up without making a sound.
"Indeed, this situation is quite rare..."
"However, I've seen 'Unraveling the Clues' and 'Far-Famed' a few times, but how did this 'Benevolence That Saves the World' get obtained through such manipulation?"
Lin Yu spoke.
Jian Cunyi was slightly surprised. "Huh, Brother Lin, I remember that before you publicly revealed your 'Unique Profession' as a 'Film Emperor,' weren't you always Profession as a 'Doctor'?"
Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, what does it have to do with anything? This 'Benevolence That Saves the World' does sound like it's related to Doctor... So is this an achievement that a 'Doctor' can easily make?"
"Of course, Brother Lin, this achievement appears because you 'save' many wounded, spared many Living Beings from disease and pain in this [Instance], healed them, or helped them recover," Jian Cunyi said. "It can be considered an achievement that is relatively easy to obtain for 'support' and 'healer' type 'Profession' or team-type 'Player' with a lot of healing [Item]."
"It's not surprising that you got him in this [Instance]. Not only did you bring Qin Siyu back to life, but you also gave him 'Cold Jade Spring Water,' which can be considered as treating the villagers' Fire Poison... This definitely deserves to be called a 'Benevolence That Saves the World.'"
"Oh, by the way, the Yun Jushi you invited with your [Guest Appearance Invitation] even healed my and Master Wei Jian's injuries, so that might also be credited to you."
Jian Cunyi explained.
Lin Yu seemed to understand something upon hearing Jian Cunyi's words.
"I see... I usually use the 'Doctor' Profession to heal myself, and I rarely heal teammates or Native of the Ten Realms... So this is indeed the first time I've seen this achievement."
Lin Yu explained with a smile.
He reflected on it and realized that although he had "jumped in to save people" quite a few times in the past, the number of times he had actually treated someone's injuries... seemed to be quite small.
Jian Cunyi nodded. "That's true... Come to think of it, Brother Lin, you haven't been in this 'Death game' for very long, so it's perfectly normal to have 'achievements' you haven't seen before. After all, you probably haven't teamed up with anyone to enter many times."
"And this 'Benevolence That Saves the World' isn't something you can simply do by bandaging someone's wound..."
"However, more than 'Benevolence That Saves the World,' I'm actually more curious about how you managed to 'unravel the Unraveling the Clues' like that. After all, this is the [Exorcising Demons from the Mountain] [Instance]... Seeing through that Leng Jing's conspiracy doesn't count as solving a mystery recognized by any 'Death game.'"
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, "It's probably because I've uncovered quite a bit of the Truth about the Prison Mountain Realm along the way... Even setting aside the 'Diviner's' arrangements, the fact that the Demon Ancestor is sealed within Nine Cold Mountain, along with some of the secrets of the Great Rui Dynasty, can all be considered 'Unraveling the Clues mystery'."
Jian Cunyi also agreed with this statement, "That's true... The criteria for judging 'Death game' have always been strange."
"Brother Jian, what's your opinion?"
Lin Yu asked curiously.
Jian Cunyi smiled and said, "I only have one [Master of Control] on my side... After all, given my reputation in the 'Prison Mountain Realm,' it won't be easy to get another [Far-Famed]."
As the two talked, the settlement time was almost over.
"The Settlement Space is about to close, "Jian Cunyi said.
"Let's talk outside, Brother Lin..."
"In any case, things have come to an end..." The "Diviner's " plans and arrangements in the Prison Mountain Realm have been completely thwarted by us. Now, you "Order" can breathe a sigh of relief. We should have plenty of free time to exchange ideas.
Jian Cunyi smile.
Lin Yu said helplessly, "I don't have that much free time, Brother Jian... Perhaps the 'Diviner's' plan failed, but... there are still plenty of trivial matters to attend to in the 'Player Mutual Aid Society'."
Moreover, for Lin Yu...
He has more than just matters of "Order" to deal with!
It was precisely because of the changes in the "Diviner's " arrangements that...
He'll probably end up going through the "Freedom Alliance," the "Marauders," and the "Psychology Society" again!
