Negotiations Succeed! Lin Yu's Brilliant Move!

Through cross-verification of various information from within Player circles over this period, Lin Yu can easily draw a conclusion.

The "Tycoon" is very powerful.

In fact, among all the Player I've ever met...

The title of "Tycoon" ranked 27th in the country, coupled with Li Hua, who was at least on par with the others, was enough to intimidate the four members of the "Freedom Alliance".

Lin Yu sat there calmly, pointing at the brooch and speaking.

"This is called the [Soul Spirit Gold Brooch]. I don't know if you've heard of it... Anyway, it can monitor our vital signs in real time."

"Once we die, the last place where its signal disappeared will be locked onto by 'Gambler' and 'Tycoon'."

"Don't forget, you still have to stay in Jiang City for a whole day... Now that your whereabouts have been exposed, and you've become the 'primary target' of these two, the Jiang City 'Order' branch, and the local gang 'Jiang'an Hall,' your priority has risen above 'The Marauders' and 'The Psychology Society' in the next 24 hours. Is that really acceptable to you?"

"If you let those people go, he might report to 'Order,' but on the one hand, you have enough time to evacuate, and on the other hand... you haven't actively killed any 'Order' members in this operation yet. Li Hua and Tycoon might try to track your location, but it's not to the point where they have to go all out against you, is it?"

"Moreover, the solution I just mentioned—letting him go—is the most advantageous for you... You could simply release the captain of 'Order' here, and use my life as leverage to prevent him from reporting to 'Order' for the time being."

Lin Yu narrated calmly, his words clear and logical.

He Leng Jing used the [Soul Spirit Gold Brooch] as a foundation and the title of "Tycoon" as a deterrent, combining the two to gain the right to negotiate.

Based on this premise, his proposed solution...

For those in the "Freedom Alliance," it is indeed the "best."

Sure enough, the four members of the "Freedom Alliance" were persuaded by Lin Yu's words.

"You're quite the resourceful fellow, and your plan sounds reasonable," the burly man in the vest said. "I vote in favor."

"Have we already moved directly to the voting stage? Then I'll vote in favor too!"

"After all, what this kid said is absolutely right... he's even thought of our 'way out'."

Qianhuan said with a smile.

The girl in the Black Dress pursed her lips. "That's already two votes... but I have no objection. I think it might be quite interesting to bring him along."

Li Nian grinned. "It should be quite, quite interesting -- unanimously approved!"

But while the four members of the "Freedom Alliance" agreed, Captain Shan spoke up with great resistance.

"May, please let me stay... After all, you're only here to help; I'm the one who's a member of 'Order.'"

"You shouldn't be taking this risk!"

He spoke through gritted teeth, but Lin Yu interrupted him.

"No, you heard it too, Brother Shan... The majority of the reason they agreed to the plan was that they agreed to include me."

"Besides, if the two of us go back and you, as the 'captain,' go, you can find an excuse to fool the others... But if you leave, they will definitely notice something is amiss."

Gao Shan was about to say something more, but Lin Yu's words completely shut him down.

"As the captain of 'Order,' it's ruthless, but Brother Shan, you need to be Leng Jing enough, even Leng Jing- blooded," Lin Yu said, looking up from his chair. "Besides, I might not even die... Don't let me down."

Gao Shan gritted his teeth and finally managed to squeeze out a single word.

"Grass!"

The girl in the Black Dress Xiao Yun, reminded him in a somewhat light voice.

"If you don't leave soon, your teammates will be coming... Before we change our minds, it's better to do what you, our young teammate, suggest."

"We'll return it to you once we've found a safe place... maybe."

Gao Shan finally stopped being pretentious. He swallowed his endless self-blame and resentment, composed himself, and turned to walk out of the shop.

Lin Yu's final words, "Don't let me down," struck him like a heavy hammer, leaving this Profession Police, who had witnessed countless sacrifices and deaths before even entering the "Death game," feeling a profound sense of powerlessness.

He hated it so much.

He hated himself for bringing up Li Hua, for leaving Lin Yu to buy water, for not being strong enough!

Lin Yu could forgive him, but Gao Shan couldn't help but blame himself.

"You absolutely must come back safe and sound, May brother."

Gao Shan left without looking back.

Watching his departing figure, Lin Yu turned to look at the four members of the "Freedom Alliance".

Old Zhou has started slurping his noodles again.

The other three, however, watched Lin Yu with great interest.

Qianhuan spoke up, "May, is it? I think I've heard rumors about you recently; you seem to be a very promising newcomer."

"Having seen it today, it truly lives up to its reputation."

He praised it with a smile.

Li Nian was even more direct. "Although your plan is indeed the 'optimal solution' from a macro perspective—neither you nor he will die, and we can accept it... but why?"

"By willingly handing yourself over to us, are you also treating your life as a 'pawn'?"

It is perfectly reasonable for Li Nian to have such a question.

Because the plan Lin Yu just proposed has many advantages, but only one drawback...

That means he was the one who didn't escape danger!

It's difficult for a normal person to immediately come up with a solution that minimizes their own profit.

This is similar to the solution in Go where you sacrifice a group of stones to break a deadlock.

Perhaps many people can come up with solutions to those long-standing life-or-death puzzles, but what if someone actually plays a move in a real game of chess...?

It can be called a masterful touch no matter what.

But Lin Yu remained calm.

He looked at Li Nian, the young girl he was most familiar with among the four of them.

The other party still didn't recognize him, because Lin Yu's "persona" at this moment was the complete opposite of his persona as a "soldier".

As a "soldier," he appears to be a very intelligent guy, but in reality, he is arrogant, narcissistic, and prone to emotional outbursts.

But at this moment, as a "Doctor"...

Leng Jing to an almost abnormal degree.

Based on this character setting, Lin Yu is capable of giving an answer that will convince Li Nian and the other three.

"Yes, I did consider myself a pawn... What I'm seeking is the overall optimal solution."

"Besides, I'm not the one who profits the least, as you might think."

Lin Yu's words only fueled Li Nian's curiosity further.

What other benefits did you gain?

Qianhuan realized what was going on. "Judging from their conversation, this kid doesn't seem to have joined 'Order'... He's just grinding reputation!"

Hearing Qianhuan's words, Lin Yu smiled and nodded.

"You're quite right, Mr. Magician ... However, for me, there's an even greater benefit."

"I experienced the noble feeling of 'sacrificing myself to cover the retreat,' which greatly satisfies my desire for 'fairness and justice' and my yearning to 'become a hero'!"
