More Important Tasks

Hearing that even Old Zheng had never seen a Rakshasa, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, those red-skinned, four-armed giants imprisoned in the dungeon were rarely seen by ordinary people. Not only were there only written records of them in Black Marsh, but even among the Player, there were not many who had seen the Rakshasa.

This gave Lin Yu a lot of room to maneuver.

Lin Yu even suspected that the seven Player, including himself, who saw Rakshasa in the [Instance] of the God of Banquets might be all the Player have seen Rakshasa now!

In addition, with Carrot having just passed away, Lin Yu felt that, in the most optimistic scenario, he might not encounter any Player who understood Rakshasa.

This can also be indirectly confirmed by the information provided by Shen Bingmiao —sometimes, what's important about "information" is not just what it contains, but also what it doesn't contain.

With Shen Bingmiao Senior Sister the core of the "forum," Lin Yu had reason to suspect that she could collect almost the most comprehensive Player guides.

These guides don't include much specific information about the Rakshasa... which means that this race is largely unknown to most Player.

Even the other Player had seen Rakshasa in the [Heavenly Feast Above] Instance, from Lin Yu's perspective, couldn't find any reason or basis to confirm whether the "Rakshasa transformation" was a rumor.

This is one of the two reasons why Lin Yu chose to impersonate a member of the Rakshasa clan...

There is a great deal of "information gap" regarding this mysterious race.

These ambiguous, blank spaces are precisely where "Fraud" can be carried out.

Of course, another important reason is...

The news is just the right amount of "importance" and "novelty".

As Lin Yu sat quietly resting in front of the thorns, he felt a renewed sense of "belief".

"It seems that the Blood Rakshasa Clan couldn't hold back any longer and shared this news."

"Moreover, his eloquence and credibility seem to be quite good."

A surge of "belief" equivalent to that of two people flooded into Lin Yu's body, propelling his deception one step closer to "Make It Real."

To the Black Marsh World, the appearance of a "Rakshasa" is like that of a long-extinct dinosaur; it's naturally a shocking and attention-grabbing event.

However, because it involves only one individual, even if it attracts attention, it will not cause panic or chaos, nor will it lead to the matter being given excessive importance.

This kind of fresh news, which is perfect for casual conversation and has some influence but not enough to cause chaos, is the easiest to spread.

Therefore, although Lin Yu didn't really expect that one strong man could spread the news and make the lie "Make It Real" or even complete the first task of the "Rank Advancement Trial", his optimism just now was not entirely unfounded.

If you're lucky enough to run into someone with a megaphone or a lot of friends, the news can spread like wildfire, and it's not impossible.

Lin Yu simply lacked a bit of luck.

Judging from the amount of "belief" received so far, Lin Yu felt that although some new people believed the lie, not everyone believed it.

It will be difficult to get them to spread the word again... Even if they do speak, it won't be an attitude that others will easily take seriously; it will most likely be like boasting, "You know, I have a friend who has seen a Rakshasa."

But fooling three people is enough to make it worthwhile.

This at least indirectly confirms once again that his lie was quite ingenious.

Lin Yu waited silently in front of the barrier.

As darkness fell, Lin Yu could not see anyone around him, even though the trees had blocked his view and the dim light in the jungle had reduced visibility.

But when night truly fell, Lin Yu saw other people instead.

To be precise, it wasn't a person—it was firelight.

Torch and lit bonfires were scattered about a hundred meters away, like distant stars.

"Sure enough, there are twelve entrances because this Venue is really huge," Lin Yu estimated in his mind. "This thorn wall should be an arc, and the curvature of this arc... this enclosed area is probably the largest Instance I've ever seen."

Lin Yu was making plans in his mind.

I originally thought that twenty Player plus three hundred NPCs might make this Instance particularly crowded and noisy.

But now it seems... that's not the case.

"It might even be a bit empty," Lin Yu, looking at the nearest firelight, which was probably nearly a hundred meters away. "It seems that even if there are Player, I definitely won't encounter them too soon."

Even if there are a few who are hard to fool, by then they might have already "Make It Real."

Thinking of this, Lin Yu also took out one of his [Item] that had a lighting function—of course, not the [Fear Torch]. Although that thing wasn't exactly his signature item, enough people recognized it.

"Come out and let the light shine."

He released Stiller.

Stiller's combat gear naturally included a tactical flashlight.

"Oh, so this is the new world," Stiller said, turning on his helmet flashlight and pulling out a tactical flashlight from his pocket. "It looks spacious, and the air is fresh, but there's a stench of blood."

Lin Yu nodded. "Of course, we're about to participate in an event called the 'Glory Festival'... Basically, it's a barbaric event where three or four hundred people go in to fight hand-to-hand with thousands of wild beasts, while also killing each other."

Lin Yu quickly explained the current situation to Stiller, who had been idling in the [Item Space]. This self-developed Artificial Humans produced by Truth Company had a strong comprehension ability and quickly understood what kind of world this was.

"So that's how it is, a world full of battles and wars," Stiller analyzed. "No wonder the Emotion Energy is so abundant... Is it because the 'natives' here are all too emotional?"

Stiller analyzed, then looked at Lin Yu and said seriously, "No matter what, it's a good thing... Based on my analysis and feelings, my strength in this realm is 20% stronger than usual. Even if the enemy is powerful, you can rest assured."

"At the same time, I also suggest you use more items produced by Truth Company... In such an emotionally charged environment, the effects may be slightly amplified."

Stiller offered a gentle reminder to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu nodded. "I didn't know that was the case? That's certainly true, I've gotten quite a lot of [Item] from your company."

Will Valetti alone caused a huge uproar.

"However, to correct you, you are not responsible for my safety during this Instance... I will still grant you the freedom to move around and the authority to act separately from me later."

"After all, I have a more important task for you."
