The Fraud Scheme

Despite her claim that she was "making a foolish mistake," she showed no reluctance in cooperating with Lin Yu.

On the contrary...

The ferns were absolutely ecstatic!

With her and Lin Yu's cooperation, the chaos was quelled almost as easily as smoothing out the fine hairs standing up on a blanket with your fingers.

Wherever it went, there was instant calm.

Even with the help of Jue, Lin Yu's current strength wouldn't be enough to handle all the people in the entire Healing Place at the same time.

Dealing with just those four Player would be quite a challenge.

Fortunately, they didn't happen at the same time!

His helpers aren't just Fern, but also the "Tier 3" Twenty!

In a state of madness and chaos, amidst Mutual Attack and Struggle, they would naturally be easily dealt with by Lin Yu.

Moreover, Lin Yu's goal wasn't to kill them, but simply to control them!

If we stall them for a little while and restrict their movements, the stray arrows shot by Fern will bring them to the ground.

Moreover, many of the original NPCs were seriously injured, but they were driven mad by the [Item] and ignored their injuries to get up and join the melee.

It only takes five minutes...

The ground was littered with Player and NPCs who had collapsed and were unable to get up due to the paralysis effect of the Bow and Arrows.

Although Fern's arrow can only paralyze the behemoth for less than two seconds, for humans, Blood Lords, and barbarians of similar size, a hit would result in at least several minutes of control!

This was enough time for Lin Yu and Jue to bring them all under control.

"That was easy," Fern said, following Lin Yu as they tied up the men whose eyes still gleamed with madness. "You actually managed to take care of them."

"Of course, I don't think there's anything high-risk involved," Lin Yu said calmly. "If they still retain their sanity, it might be troublesome to deal with... but a person who has lost their sanity is no different from a wild beast."

"If we could handle those two big guys fighting yesterday, we can certainly handle them too."

Lin Yu spoke calmly, and the two of them tied them up one by one, like skilled food processing plant workers wrapping zongzi on a Dragon Boat Festival assembly line.

The ropes used to bind these guys were naturally found at the Healing Place —in this world, using hemp rope to bind the ends of dead limbs is a very common way to bandage and stop bleeding.

Fern curled her lip. "The high risk I was referring to wasn't the trouble these guys are causing..."

"It's about dealing with the time they've wasted, and... the follow-up solutions after you choose to deal with them."

The last two severely wounded Blood Demons were also tied up by them.

Lin Yu looked at Jue: "Do you know what I'm planning to do?"

"Since you said you wanted to end this farce, that means you intend to 'negotiate' with the notary here, right?" Fern pointed to the other side of the Healing Place. "Would you like to speak to me privately?"

Although the NPCs at the Healing Place were originally evenly distributed throughout the tent, now that they have all been tied up and piled together by Fern and Lin Yu, there are many "empty" spaces in the entire Healing Place.

Lin Yu nodded and walked over with Jue, quietly watching what this "Liar" was about to do.

When the two reached a place where no other NPCs or Player could hear their conversation, Fern spoke up.

Why impersonate Player?

Lin Yu looked at the fern scrutinizing him, unsurprised.

"This was indeed a good time to lay everything on the table. Well done, Fern..."

"And its reaction speed was only slightly slower than 20."

Lin Yu inwardly praised the fern.

This guy's reaction was within Lin Yu's expectations, although it didn't go exactly as Lin Yu had guessed.

However, Lin Yu's scripts have always left a lot of room for improvisation and interpretation.

Therefore, in response to Jue's questioning, Lin Yu spoke calmly.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. I didn't impersonate anyone."

Fern looked at Lin Yu: "Really? Then tell me what the default color of the forum interface is."

Lin Yu remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I've never used it."

Fern spread her hands. "Every Player uses that, unless you've been banned... and even if you've been banned, you've definitely used it!"

Lin Yu's face showed an expression of "giving up the struggle".

"You Human Race from Other Worlds are indeed intelligent."

"They're even smarter than the Human Race here."

As he spoke, Fern chuckled softly.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm the exceptionally clever type, so it's not embarrassing for me to see through you."

"Alright, we've been working together for so long, and I've seen through your tricks. Would you mind telling me your purpose in doing this?"

Fern looked at Lin Yu and asked.

Lin Yu nodded slowly and began to answer.

"I impersonated you mainly to conceal my 'true identity'."

"Although I am not Human Race from another world who calls myself a 'Player' like you, I am not an ordinary Bloodlust or Barbarian either."

"I'm not here to participate in this Glory Festival to get a ranking; I have another purpose."

Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, and Jue raised an eyebrow.

"And it's not convenient for me to tell you the purpose, is that right?"

Lin Yu nodded again. "Yes, but this has nothing to do with whether I trust you or not, it's simply... a matter of great importance."

Fern smiled and said, "Does that have anything to do with your true identity? If I'm not mistaken... you're that Rakshasa, aren't you?"

"You were the one who dealt with that fire monster in the darkness just now—although the sound just now sounded like a gunshot, but... since you knew about the 'Player,' it must have been something you did on purpose, right?"

As soon as Jue finished speaking, she saw Lin Yu look up at her.

The moment it sensed the chilling Killing Intent, Fern quickly raised its hand.

"Hey, hey, I meant no harm—if I really wanted to harm you, I should have kept quiet about seeing through your disguise and waited until that 'notary' arrived before reporting you, wouldn't that have been better?"

Lin Yu's expression gradually softened, and the chilling Killing Intent emanating from him gradually faded.

"You make a good point... So, what are you planning to do?"

Fern pursed her lips. "Since you can impersonate Player, you should know that I'm just a 'passerby' in your world."

"For me, clearing the border is the most important thing, followed by the actual benefits I can obtain... Therefore, I want to continue cooperating with you to maximize our profits."

"Tell me your plans. What will you do if the 'notary' arrives?"

Lin Yu calmly replied, "Of course, we should quickly deal with him as well. As long as he remains silent and there are no further developments at the Healing Place, the Glory Festival will likely proceed as scheduled."

"I knew you were going to use force," Fern said helplessly. "If you trust me, I have a better idea."

"How about we try to fool the notary?"
