Methods of Making Money!

"I see."

After reading the "Novice Guide," Lin Yu felt he understood the "Death game" even better!

Because of his "Deceiver" class, every bit of knowledge Lin Yu gained about this game made him genuinely stronger.

"It's a shame I don't know how 'Rank Advancement' works, or I could probably play as an even more powerful expert!"

Lin Yu mused to himself.

Following this novice guide, he also downloaded several other guides and proceeded to read them carefully.

Soon, Lin Yu figured out many things beyond the "Death game."

For example...

The "Gathering" the day after tomorrow!

Just as the uncle known as "Harmony brings wealth" had said, Gatherings were inseparable from this Forum.

"Forum Points" could be obtained through trading.

And the reason why these "Forum Points" were the hard currency... was because initially, these points could be used on the Forum to post "Bounties" – to commission others to help one clear instances, to ask for information... all could be paid for with points!

The "Forum" itself also offered a service to exchange points for real money: the exchange rate was one point for one hundred real yuan!

However, conversely, players could not obtain points by "topping up with real money."

To get points from the "Forum" officials, besides obtaining them from others, one could only do so by posting threads that offered "contribution," or by completing "Commissions" posted by the "Forum" officials!

Among the "Bounty" rankings, there were quite a few bounty tasks and bounty personnel posted by the Forum officials!

Lin Yu felt these were too far off for him, so he didn't delve into them in detail.

What he focused on understanding was the "Gathering" itself!

Different cities had different Gathering locations.

These "Gatherings" were not organized by the Forum officials; most were organized by local organizations within the cities – after being certified by the Forum officials, they could be posted and promoted by the Forum.

Of course, there were also some small, irregular "Gatherings" held spontaneously that were not recognized by the "Forum"...

But whether these were safe or worth attending depended on the player who saw the information to discern for themselves.

Although if someone used such a method to rob and kill, they would apparently be "blacklisted" by the Forum and might even attract the attention of an organization called the "Administrator"...

But if one lost their life, any subsequent punishment would, of course, be of little significance to the victim!

Fortunately, the address Lin Yu received that day was indeed a "formal Gathering point" in their Jiangcheng that had been certified by the Forum.

The information recorded above also matched the time.

It even included the information of the person in charge of this "Gathering" – named "Tycoon."

Lin Yu had a hunch that this "Tycoon" was likely the uncle he had met whose WeChat name was "Harmony brings wealth."

"Not bad, that name he chose really fits his 'aura'..."

Lin Yu muttered.

After finishing these guides...

Lin Yu fell into a deep sleep on his bed.

The next morning, Lin Yu woke up.

Although he had two general education classes today, Lin Yu, who was not interested in "University Student Entrepreneurship Guidance" to begin with, took a full day off and stayed home to continue studying the guides.

And after careful consideration, an idea formed in Lin Yu's mind.

An idea to make money using this "Gathering" to compensate his sister, Lin Zhao!

"Since this game already exists, my life can no longer be as peaceful as before..."

"Then I might as well use it to earn some money and improve our lives!"

Lin Yu exhaled, his expression resolute.

The simplest way to "make money" was to sell "Items" at the Gathering!

After all...

If you join a "Death game" instance, even if you have an arsenal in reality, you can't bring it in!

Someone had experimented; the only things you could bring into the game were the clothes on your back!

Hairpins and the like were the limit...

Food, water, even things like paper, pens, and lighters in your pockets, could not be brought in.

Even the clothes themselves had restrictions – if you wore a bulletproof vest or clothes with obvious special functions, you might be "stripped" and turned completely naked upon entering the game!

Therefore, "Items" were extremely valuable in this game.

Imagine, in a survival instance where the main difficulty was "finding food"...

If Lin Yu had brought out a lot of bread and water from novice instances before, wouldn't the difficulty of that instance be greatly reduced for him?!

Not to mention many "weapon" type items that could greatly enhance combat power.

Even though there are quite a few "Enhancement Class" professions, many are like the "Otaku" type of enhancement.

Professions like "Soldier," which greatly boost "frontal combat power," are popular everywhere and are sought after by major organizations!

For other professionals to increase their "combat power," it's best to rely on items.

Lin Yu deeply understands this.

The "Infallible Revolver" in his hand gives Lin Yu a lot of confidence.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to rashly go to that address alone to investigate yesterday!

"So, a sharper, better-quality 'item' cleaver can easily sell for over a hundred Credit Points!"

Over a hundred Credit Points...

That's tens of thousands of Renminbi, real money!

If he got lucky and encountered a player who desperately needed a handy weapon item, it could even sell for over a hundred thousand!

Thinking about this, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

In the first instance, there were so many exquisite werewolf weapons...

It's a shame he didn't bring out many!

Lin Yu wasn't so foolish as to plan on selling his most trusted trump card, the "Infallible Revolver."

Although Lin Yu estimated its price based on auction information mentioned in Forum posts, it might exceed a million!

But Lin Yu still doesn't plan to sell it!

Making money is indeed important... but not to the point of risking his life.

As for that "Lie Detector"...

Putting aside whether its price would be very high, the most important thing is...

This item fits well with Lin Yu's "Deceiver" profession's abilities.

When Lin Yu was pushed to the brink by that lunatic Yu Longguo in the novice instance, he was able to defy fate and achieve a "Rewind" through deception, partly relying on this magical Lie Detector which allowed his most untrustworthy statement to be presented as a deeply convincing "truth" through skillful manipulation!

Even if he can't use it anymore in the future, Lin Yu doesn't plan to simply sell off this "hero"!

And with both of these items not being sold...

Lin Yu still doesn't intend to give up directly and miss the opportunity to make money from this "Gathering"!

He has already thought of a brilliant idea!
