Inside the room, the remaining six people stared at Lin Yu, who had suddenly walked in, their faces filled with uncertainty.
This time, Chen Zhuo was the first to speak.
The little fatty looked excited as he addressed Lin Yu. "Are you the master of this game? In other words... are you God?!"
Lin Yu naturally could not simply declare himself to be a "god."
But with Chen Zhuo asking the question, things had indeed become much easier.
Faced with Chen Zhuo's question, Lin Yu did not deny it. He merely nodded slightly, once again revealing an unfathomable smile.
"I prefer to be addressed as 'Mr. Administrator.'"
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Zhuo nodded in complete belief.
"All right, Mr. Administrator. Could you explain the Game Rules to us?"
This Otaku had indeed watched quite a lot of anime in his day. He had already completely accepted the "setting" that Lin Yu was a god.
But the others were not entirely convinced.
"Bang!"
Bao Liu slammed the table and said coldly, "Stop pretending to be some kind of god. What the hell are you?!"
"Why did you bring us here? What's your purpose?!"
Lin Yu looked at Bao Liu, who was fierce on the outside but weak within, his smile unchanged.
"Mr. Bao Liu, before you came here... didn't you see those prompts that were enough to help you understand the situation?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Bao Liu's expression changed slightly.
"You actually know my name?!"
"Of course. This is my Game, after all." The smile at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth grew increasingly mysterious. "Not only do I know your name, I also know that you awakened a class—'Hooligan.'"
"The others here are the same as you... Since that's the case, I'll help you introduce one another."
"Everyone already knows Mr. Bao Liu, who awakened the 'Hooligan' class."
"The one who spoke just now is Chen Zhuo, who awakened the 'Otaku' class."
"This beautiful lady is Xia Yue, the 'Veterinarian.'"
"And this strong man is Yu Longguo, the 'Soldier.'"
"The sharp-looking person beside him is Yao Zhengye, the 'Thief.'"
"And this bespectacled lady is Xu Xiumei, the 'Teacher.'"
Lin Yu spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
Everyone who was introduced changed expression slightly.
Lin Yu had clearly called out their names and classes. That had already caused everyone to believe half of his "godhood" identity!
For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.
Then Chen Zhuo spoke excitedly once more. "So, Administrator... could you explain some of the rules to us?"
"Of course." Lin Yu nodded with a smile. "Although there was no need to emphasize this, because of the 'little interlude' just now... I'll say it again. You all know very well that you've already 'died,' right?"
As Lin Yu spoke, everyone—including the excited Chen Zhuo from earlier—looked somewhat uneasy.
But Lin Yu did not care.
His identity now was that of a "god." Gods did not need to concern themselves with mortals' feelings.
Thus, Lin Yu became even more offensive toward those present.
"Every one of you has an extremely strong desire not to die... Perhaps it's because of your students or children, perhaps because you haven't finished watching your anime, perhaps because you want to become a good person again, perhaps because your mother is gravely ill... Or perhaps you simply want to keep living."
After saying this, Lin Yu could clearly sense...
The others' belief in him had grown even stronger!
"In short, it was precisely because of your 'desires' that you were given the opportunity to participate in this Game. I hope you'll make good use of it."
"All right, enough idle talk. Let me introduce the rules of this Game. Have all of you heard of or played the Game 'Werewolf' before?"
"The general gameplay of this Game is similar. You'll also be divided into two factions: werewolves and humans. Next, I'll distribute manuals explaining your identities and the specific rules."
Lin Yu took six envelopes from his robes.
Then, he handed the six envelopes to their original owners.
As for Lin Yu's own envelope...
He had thrown it outside the door long ago, hiding it beneath the carpet.
Watching them open their envelopes again and confirm their identities, Lin Yu snapped his fingers as "flames" rose once more.
"All right, you understand the general rules now, right? Any questions?"
After Lin Yu finished speaking, everyone fell into thought.
Then Yu Longguo was the first to speak.
"Mr. Administrator, there's one thing I don't understand... I remember that before entering this Game, I saw the number of players listed as '7.'"
"Why are there only '6' people here?"
Yu Longguo voiced his question.
He did not suspect that Lin Yu was the missing player. The confusion on his face was entirely sincere.
Lin Yu smiled.
"Very clever, 'Soldier.' I like your perceptiveness. Congratulations on discovering one of the special rules of this Game!"
"There is a player in this Game who awakened a special class. His class is called 'Lone Wolf,' so he did not wake up in the same place as you."
"That person is hiding somewhere within the bounds of this castle."
Xia Yue also asked, "Is this person on the 'werewolf' faction or the 'human' faction?"
"His faction has nothing to do with his class. He will also not participate in the 'voting phase.'"
Lin Yu smiled as he spoke.
"Huh? If he's a 'human,' doesn't that mean the good faction is simply missing one vote?"
Chen Zhuo said in surprise.
Lin Yu laughed. "Heh... Don't worry. This Game isn't as simple as you imagine."
Yu Longguo thought for a moment before speaking again.
"Mr. Administrator, besides not appearing in the same place as us, does the 'Lone Wolf' have any other abilities?"
Lin Yu wagged a finger. "I'll only tell you the name of his class. Whether his class ability is made public is up to him."
"Also, whether you reveal your own class abilities is up to you as well."
Yu Longguo thought for a moment before saying, "Is that so? Then I choose to reveal mine!"
"Of course. The 'Soldier's' ability is... his physical attributes are enhanced fivefold."
Lin Yu spoke calmly.
Bao Liu grumbled in dissatisfaction, "No, why go to all that trouble... If you want to reveal your ability, can't you just say it yourself?"
"I think the 'Soldier' wants to prove through this that he isn't lying." Lin Yu smiled as he spoke. "After all, as the 'Administrator,' I know not only your classes, abilities, names, and other personal information... I also know every arrangement and mechanism within this Game like the back of my hand."
"However, my own 'Administrator privileges' only allow me to understand the structure of this Game. To ensure the fairness of the Game, I won't directly interfere with its progress."
"I don't even know the specific 'faction identities' of each of you!"
Lin Yu smiled as he finished this speech.
And then...
He could feel that his "Fraudster" ability had finally taken effect!
The identity of "Administrator"... had become reality at this moment!
