Yayu's contribution

After "Schreiber," played by Old Zheng, finished negotiating with the "Diviner" and "left," the atmosphere in the "Marauders" stronghold was clearly more relaxed and pleasant.

Although everyone knew to some extent that the "Diviner" was in poor condition and had just suffered a setback in the Prison Mountain Realm, and they didn't fully understand how the "failure" the "Diviner" claimed could help him achieve his goal...

But no one was truly nervous or worried—even knowing they were about to engage in a full-scale, high-level battle with "Order" in the Shenzhen, and that Deity- level forces might be involved, for the members of "The Marauders"...

This still appears to be an "opportunity".

After all, most members who join the "Marauders," especially those who climb to the top, are often eager for fighting and conflict.

Even if "Order" declares a full-scale war against "Marauders," these ambitious and ruthless individuals may not be afraid.

Moreover, they were the ones who started this battle!

Moreover, both "A'yu" and "Celestial King" have complete trust in the "Diviner".

Although he wasn't in good shape at the moment, for A'yu and Celestial King, their Boss's mere presence here was a reassuring presence.

After all, both of them knew very well that... the Diviner was not only skilled, but also very intelligent.

With him personally overseeing things here, regardless of whether there's a powerful backup like the "Emperor," our Boss will definitely be able to handle everything properly.

So... naturally there's nothing to worry about!

However, for Lin Yu, the presence of Diviner here was indeed a bit troublesome.

After all, he couldn't stay in the Marauders' stronghold indefinitely as a "Yayu".

If the Diviner weren't here, he could simply ask his direct superior, "Yayu," for leave if he wanted to leave as a "A'yu."

But now... if the Diviner also notices me, I'll probably have to explain to the Diviner why I want to leave.

Deceiving A'yu and deceiving Diviner are clearly not the same level of difficulty.

What worked on A'yu and the other members of the "Marauders" before, if used to fool Diviner... is very likely to be seen through!

After all, the cunning and treachery of Diviner far surpasses that of ordinary "Player."

Even Player as clearly intelligent as "Ling Xian" and "Liuli" are still somewhat inferior to the Diviner.

Moreover, Diviner also possess [Fragment of Fate] and the wondrous skill of "Divination".

Although there are limitations to the use of this method, Lin Yu does not know exactly how great those limitations are. Therefore, he can only make the worst-case scenario plan and assume that the limitations of this method are not many.

Although Lin Yu had always hoped to elevate the status of the "Yayu" within the "Marauders," he also felt that the elevation should not be too rapid...

If the "Yayu" appears in the "Diviner's " field of vision too early and arouses some degree of suspicion, it could very well be a fatal blow to this identity.

"The 'Yayu' is already quite active, and will be appointed as a branch commander after Shenzhen. We can then gradually announce its advancement to 'Tier 2,' maintaining its status as a 'talented newcomer' step by step..."

"So, although tonight's schedule is quite tight, I'll probably have to use the 'Yayu' identity for a while longer. I can't immediately suggest continuing solo operations; I need to wait until after I leave the factory with 'A'yu' and 'Liuli' to avoid attracting unnecessary attention..."

Just as Lin Yu was silently devising a strategy in his mind, "A'yu's" voice rang out again from the side.

"Hey, Brother Zhan, let's put my skill level aside for now. After all, I haven't remembered any of that nonsense for a long time, and I'm still doing just fine and even reached 'Tier 3'," A'yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "As long as you're strong enough, none of that matters... Besides, I'm not the kind of idiot you think I am who only knows how to brute force!"

"Although I might be weak in 'Memory knowledge,' I'm very good at recognizing and utilizing talent," A'yu said, giving Lin Yu's shoulder a tight hug again. "Brother Zhan, let me formally introduce you. This is the new member I recently recruited, 'Yayu,' whom I mentioned earlier!"

"Although she's only at 'Tier 1' and hasn't been in this 'Death game' for long, she's incredibly strong—she was the one who helped 'Celestial King' collect so many [Mermaid's Tear] in one go!"

"It can be said that the war currently sweeping through the Nether Void Realm was orchestrated by her!"

A'yu said smugly, and Lin Yu, who was preparing to keep a low profile, especially to fade out of the Diviner's sight, heard A'yu's words and his eyes were full of helplessness.

However, out of respect for the ambitious, straightforward yet somewhat arrogant character of "Yayu," Lin Yu could not be too modest and continued to keep a low profile.

He could only nod slightly, remaining neither humble nor arrogant before the Diviner, and said, "To say that I orchestrated the war is an exaggeration, because I didn't initially intend for the entire Nether Void Realm to descend into total war... However, what I did can indeed be considered the fuse that ignited the full-scale conflict Mermaid and the Sea Demons."

As Lin Yu had foreseen, although these words were the most peaceful type he could think of within the scope of the "Yayu" character setting, they still won the appreciation of "Celestial King" and "Diviner".

The Celestial King laughed heartily, "Ha, I remember that. I asked around later... Not only did you slaughter dozens of the Merfolk Royal Family like pigs, but you also led 'April' to a head-on defeat 'Order's' Sea City Captain 'Mad Saber' and 'Night Watcher's' 'Mountain Sparrow'... What a remarkable achievement!"

"If A'yu hadn't beaten me to it, I would have poached you to work under me," the Celestial King exclaimed. "To be honest, I knew at first glance that you were right up my alley—and after meeting you in person, I was even more certain that you're a good guy."

"Although I feel that your clothes are simple and you don't care much about dressing up, your aesthetic sense is indeed quite good... I can tell that you picked this sweatshirt and pants casually for comfort and convenience, but the colors are very harmonious, and the style of the clothes also suits your figure very well... You can't hide your excellent aesthetic sense."

The Celestial King praised it highly.

Before Lin Yu could reply, A'yu spoke up first, "Hey, Celestial King, you're blatantly poaching him! What do you mean by that?"

The Celestial King waved his hand. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean that... It's just that this Yayu is really to my liking. But then again, even if you don't work under me anymore, given how well you completed the last commission, feel free to come to me if you ever have any trouble in the future. I will absolutely not refuse you."

"A promising talent like you, if he grows up, will also benefit the 'Marauders'."

As the Celestial King spoke, Lin Yu spoke again in a low voice.

"Thank you very much."

The Diviner, also taking a keen look at the "Yayu," said, "Although A'yu... well, in short, A'yu's judgment of people has always been quite good."

"You certainly have a bright future ahead of you, Yayu... right? I'll remember you."

Hearing the Diviner's praise, A'yu became even more excited. "Not only that, Brother Zhan... he also won against quite a few people in Fistfighting! Undefeated all night, can you believe it?"

"That's reminiscent of Xiao Bai's style back in the day—and even White Sand lost once or twice back then, right?"

A'yu spoke enthusiastically, then suddenly felt a pang of melancholy. "What a pity, Xiao Bai is gone... otherwise I really wanted to see him fight the Yayu with his 'Tier 1' abilities."

The Diviner sighed softly.

Liuli chimed in, continuing to praise Yayu: "Yayu was a great help in Shenzhen this time... She stumbled upon a lot of information about 'Order's' arrangements within the 'Player Mutual Aid Society,' which was a huge help to us!"

A'yu quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about Yaya's contribution this time... She's been secretly investigating various arrangements regarding 'Order' within Shenzhen these past few days, and the results are remarkable!"

"Because she's a new face, and also a 'Tier 1' one, even 'Order' has lowered its guard against her!"

A'yu spoke, Lin Yu, upon hearing this, glanced at the "Diviner" without making a sound.

Really...

A very faint, fleeting look of doubt crossed the Diviner's face.

"It's not like I'm completely undetected," Lin Yu said again, somewhat frustrated. "Although 'Order' didn't catch me... 'Schreiber' is after me..."

He looked at the Diviner and sincerely expressed his apology and regret. "That guy being able to come here tonight... was entirely my fault, it was my mistake."

This performance, which appeared to be a genuine expression of emotion, did indeed dispel the Diviner's doubts to some extent.

But...

It is clearly impossible to completely dispel the doubts of "Diviner".

Sure enough, the Diviner turned towards Lin Yu, his eyes, though covered by a blue cloth, seemed to be carefully scrutinizing this somewhat frizzy-haired "Tier 1" newcomer.

"It's alright... tonight's outcome is good; it's a good thing that 'Schreiber' came knocking on my door."

"Besides, you're only at the 'Tier 1' level, and being targeted by this 'Tier 3' individual who inherited 'Freud's' legacy, there's not much you can do about it."

"However... I'm a little curious about..."

How did you obtain the information from "Order"—could you elaborate?

"After all, this is no small achievement."
