Elite Monsters and Cooperation

Do you have a special attack effect against robots?

Lin Yu watched as Li Nian threw out the beads and asked curiously.

"That's how I see things that lack intelligence and life," Li Nian said casually, "Of course, they still need a 'core'."

"The Truth Company's 'Hate Sentry' perfectly fit this criterion—driven by 'hatred' as their core and fuel, they are indeed very difficult to deal with for ordinary people."

"But for me, all I need to do is remove the 'core,' and they will naturally lose their ability to function."

As she spoke, Li Nian picked up the red bead, about the size of a glass marble, and showed it to Lin Yu and Chen Zhuo.

"This is it, [Vengeance Crystal]... This is a very valuable material. Anyway, it's my spoils, so it's mine."

Li Nian said with a grin.

Lin Yu realized what was happening.

"So you didn't let me make a move earlier because you were afraid I'd steal your spoils?"

Li Nian shook her head. "No, I'm afraid you'll break it... Do you, a 'Tier 1', even have that function?"

Lin Yu stroked his chin. "It seems that 'Tier 2' privileges probably mean being able to take certain items out of Instance..."

Li Nian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You're trying to trick me?"

"Yes, otherwise you would have charged me 200 points for information like 'Tier 2' access," Lin Yu said frankly. "I'm short on money, A Nian, so I'll save where I can."

Li Nian was somewhat speechless. "Okay, but since you even know about 'permissions,' it means you're not far from unlocking 'Tier 1' permissions, but you probably haven't unlocked them yet."

"That's pretty impressive. Some people are almost at the 'Tier 2' and still can't unlock the 'Tier 1' privileges."

"So, would you like to avoid taking unnecessary detours and listen to..."

Lin Yu interrupted Li Nian: "I don't want to."

Li Nian was somewhat disappointed, but also seemed a little happy. "Okay, then I hope you can do your best soon!"

Chen Zhuo, standing to the side, scratched his head. "Huh, what permission? What is that?"

Li Nian thought for a moment, then took out a small metal spinning top from her pocket and handed it to Chen Zhuo.

"For you."

Chen Zhuo picked up the spinning top, somewhat bewildered.

"What? This is the authorization?"

Lin Yu also showed a curious expression, seemingly wanting to know what the relationship was between this "spinning top" and "authority".

But Li Nian's next answer took him by surprise.

"It's nothing, just a little toy for you. Go play over there."

Chen Zhuo stared blankly at the spinning top in his hand and softly uttered an "Oh".

Lin Yu was helpless.

"Why are you teasing me like a child?"

Li Nian pouted. "You haven't even Tier Advancement up, why are you asking about permissions... Alright, alright, here comes another 'thing'."

As she spoke, the train carriage door opened again.

Then...

This time, it was a tall, thin man wearing a gray uniform and a hood.

His clothes had the words "F-6" printed in bright red on the chest, and he was holding a short, black Short Staff.

Upon seeing Lin Yu and his two companions, the man raised the Short Staff in his hand.

"Come, new 'exiles,' fall into eternal despair!"

The man was shouting incomprehensible words in an excited and impassioned tone.

He pressed some kind of button on the side of the Short Staff.

Crackling, bluish-white arcs of electricity flashed from the Short Staff.

A tall, thin man holding a stun gun looked much smaller and less threatening than the transparent, invisible pufferfish or the gun-wielding robots.

However, as soon as the other party appeared, Lin Yu sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

Li Nian, standing beside him, also became much more serious.

"Elite Monster have spawned. Looks like we're facing three waves..."

As she spoke, she pulled out the Utility knife again.

"Hey... Fatty, get to the back of the carriage, right now!"

Chen Zhuo realized that Li Nian was not joking, so he jumped up from his seat and scrambled to the back corner of the carriage to curl up. Then he activated the [Honeycomb Charging Shield] that Li Nian had just stolen from his chest.

A pale yellow, transparent hexagonal shield stood in front of him.

Lin Yu watched Chen Zhuo's actions and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

As expected, the Death game does accelerate growth. Even a useless person like Chen Zhuo, who survived the Instance by hiring others, matured considerably after experiencing four Instance.

At least...

Chen Zhuo's ability to escape is now top-notch.

However, now is not the time to focus on Chen Zhuo's growth.

Because there is a very dangerous and formidable enemy before us.

Lin Yu slowly exhaled, standing one after the other with Li Nian, and extracted all three remaining types of [Immortal Wine] from the [Blissful Immortal Pot], transforming them back into buffs that adhered to his body.

The three buffs currently available in the pot are [Dance Mastery], which provides physical coordination and agility; [Blacksmithing], which provides blunt weapon damage and strength amplification; and the newly acquired [The Stingy Rich Man].

[Dance Mastery] and [Blacksmithing] each have about an hour left, while [The Stingy Rich Man] has almost a whole day left.

After activating it, Lin Yu looked at Li Nian.

"This revolver I'm holding only has six bullets, and each bullet has a different random effect..."

As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian raised an eyebrow.

"The Demon Hunter Guild's [Mithril Standard Revolver]? No wonder it looked familiar!"

Lin Yu also showed a surprised expression.

"You have good taste..."

"Of course, the best thieves are also the best connoisseurs," Li Nian said smugly. "If you have this thing, I'll cover for you."

Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

At the same time, feeling the "belief" emanating from Li Nian, Lin Yu also felt that the [Mithril Standard Revolver] transformed from the [Counterfeit] in his hand had become the real thing!

When he pulled out his gun just now, it certainly wasn't the [One-Shot Hit Revolver].

Because that thing... Li Nian had seen it before.

Moreover, it was used by Lin Yu under the identity of "Lin Yu".

It's hard to explain why this thing ended up in Zhu Ming's hands.

Therefore, the "gun" that Lin Yu initially took out was actually a Counterfeit.

The choice of the [Mithril Standard Revolver] was also something Lin Yu had planned.

Since gaining access to internal information from various organizations, Lin Yu has researched a large amount of information on various Item in order to make better use of the [Counterfeit].

He selected about ten types of multifunctional, versatile, and reasonably strong mass-produced [Common Item], and memorized their appearance and usage.

The [Mithril Standard Revolver] is one of them.

This pistol is the type that's suitable for all kinds of combat situations.

Just like Lin Yu just explained...

It's not just a pistol with six bullets; each bullet has a different magical effect!

While Li Nian and Lin Yu were talking, the man holding the stun gun seemed to think it was a good time to launch an attack.

He suddenly roared forward and lunged towards where Li Nian was!
