Looking at the five photos on his phone, Ling Yi couldn't help but purse his lips and mutter, "These five guys are really ugly."
"But aren't these five guys way too old? Was it really necessary to do this?"
These five people all look to be in their eighties or nineties. Is there any point in talking to them?
"Dad, these five people are no ordinary individuals. They're behind most of the recent events in the world—in short, they've caused a bloodbath!"
"Don't underestimate them. If these five get killed, Amalican in complete chaos."
"This is the absolute decision-making level; all economic orders will only be executed if they give their approval."
Ling Yi couldn't help but think of a sentence he had seen online before.
Small capital plays with profits, medium capital plays with finance, large capital plays with power struggles, and super-capital plays with war.
These five individuals belong to the super-capital class; every penny they possess carries the scent of battle.
Ling Yi copied all their names into the Death God Note.
They're all foreign names, and they're incredibly long!
The longest name has a whopping 29 letters.
However, Ling Yi hesitated regarding the manner of their deaths.
A direct brain hemorrhage? No way.
Ling Yi wanted to maximize the impact, so he just quietly disappeared, which didn't achieve the maximum effect.
Ideally, they should be able to say the most fashionable things.
Otherwise, this matter might be exploited by certain people to pin the blame on the Ancient Country.
"Son, what suggestions do you have?"
Book Spirit chuckled, "How about we create the number one Graves in the Chinese server?"
"Trying to frame the Radiant Water Country?"
"That's right! Isn't there a movie coming out in Amalican right now about growing giant mushrooms in the Radiant Water Country?"
"Aren't the two countries arguing fiercely over this? It's understandable that they'd produce a 'first-rate male gun' (a player who becomes a top-tier marksman), right?"
"That's understandable, son, you're amazing!"
"Hey-hey!"
Whether you understand or not is unimportant; what matters is that you're all talking nonsense.
I wonder if the Death God Note would accept this kind of death setting!
If the limits of the Death God Note's power are exceeded, even the most perfect design becomes meaningless.
Ling Yi didn't provide too many details about the death scenario, only a general outline.
Generally speaking, in a story like Death God Note, the broader and more general the planner's approach to the death process, the higher the likelihood that the intended manner of death will ultimately be achieved.
This is because overly specific and detailed death scenarios are often susceptible to interference or limitations from various unexpected factors, thus increasing the risk of failure to implement them smoothly.
Conversely, a more vague plan that leaves more Jade Emperor for maneuver is more flexible, better able to adapt to complex and ever-changing realities, and increases the success rate of achieving goals.
For example, by simply specifying a general direction such as "died an unnatural death" or "died of natural causes," a wide range of possible scenarios and unforeseen events can be covered, giving the Death God Note more room to maneuver in completing its tasks.
Of course, this generality needs to be kept within certain limits, otherwise it may lead to uncontrolled results or deviate from the original intention.
Therefore, when designing the death process in Death God Note, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons and find a balance that ensures efficiency without causing chaos.
What If...? you specifically name someone to kill someone else, the Death God Note will generally consider it a failure.
A general process gives the Death God Note more room for control, and the Death God Note will automatically deduce the best way to die.
To specifically name someone and order them to do it requires directly changing a person's will.
If the two parties happen to be enemies, the probability of execution is higher.
Otherwise, success is virtually impossible.
After designing the manner of death for these five people, the Ling Yi put a checkmark over each of their names.
After setting the method of death, it will take some time for it to take effect.
The Death God Note also requires time to execute the death process.
The more complex the settings, the longer the execution time.
"It's a pity we can't watch it live; if we filmed it and posted it online, it would definitely go viral."
"Dad, a live broadcast is fine, but posting the video online might not make it go viral."
"Why?"
Ling Yi immediately understood after asking that question.
It's really not certain that it will become popular.
"On the surface, these five people are just ordinary wealthy individuals."
"Furthermore, Amalican would never allow such a video to go viral online."
That's absolutely impossible. Amalican father got into trouble on Amalican's turf and became a laughing stock online.
It won't be long before they themselves become a laughing stock.
"Are these five guys all Fishman?" Ling Yi asked.
"The entire Symbiosis Society is made up of Fishman."
"Got it. Oh, and by the way, order some takeout for me online. We're having a squid feast today!"
"While we're at it, let's find a few more names from the Radiant Water Country. It's only fair, right? Amalican's father's dead; it wouldn't be right not to get revenge, would it?"
"That just doesn't make sense," the Book Spirit chimed in, adding a straight man's line.
"Give me some lists every three to five days from now on, just keep doing that, you know what I mean?"
"I understand completely."
The takeout arrived quickly, Ling Yi was just about to eat when she heard a knock on the door.
"What's she doing here?" Ling Yi frowned, got up and opened the door.
Standing at the door was Wu Yaqin.
Looking into Wu Yaqin's big, bright eyes, Ling Yi felt another jolt in his heart.
That face, those eyes, that figure, that height—almost every part of it was etched into Ling Yi's heart.
Oh my god, is this what it feels like to fall in love?
But the more this happened, the more Ling Yi wanted this woman to leave as soon as possible.
Ling Yi was afraid that he might not be able to handle it and might do something irrational.
"Ahem, um, hello, what can I do for you?" Ling Yi greeted him first.
"I'm sorry about what happened this afternoon. If you weren't so capable, I would have been in big trouble."
Wu Yaqin actually came to apologize?
"I should be the one apologizing; it was my slow reaction!"
"No, no, it's my fault. Luckily it was you today; if it had been an ordinary person, it would have been terrible."
That's true. Given Ling Yi and Wu Yaqin's speed at the time, even if their opponents were just ordinary people, it would have been a huge problem.
"You could say today is Luck day for both of us. If I were facing an ordinary person, the consequences would be just as unimaginable."
"I..."
"Stop it, we don't need to keep apologizing like this. Anyway, it's a good thing nothing bad happened today."
"Yes, but I still want to thank you. If you hadn't cushioned the fall, I would definitely have been injured!"
Before Ling Yi could say anything, Wu Yaqin continued, "As a token of my gratitude, I'd like to treat you to a meal, is that alright?"
Having dinner with beautiful women is naturally no problem.
"We've met by chance, it's like we bumped into each other and became acquainted. My name is Ling Yi, it's nice to meet you."
"My name is Wu Yaqin. Hello Ling Yi, do you have time tomorrow at noon?"
"Absolutely!"
"Then I'll come find you tomorrow at noon."
"OK!"
See you tomorrow at noon!
After seeing Wu Yaqin off, Ling Yi frowned and sat back down on the sofa.
"Dad, I feel like Mom has ulterior motives!" Book Spirit's voice rang out!
Ling Yi nodded; Wu Yaqin had clearly come to probe the situation.
But wasn't Ling Yi also testing Wu Yaqin?
I'm still very curious about Ling Yi from the Mohist School.
What is the mystery surrounding an organization that has been passed down from the pre-Qin period to the present day?
Ling Yi expressed his anticipation for this.
His novel world has only one mission: to obtain the Origin Points.
As for the performance rating, let's forget about it!
He has absolutely no idea how to improve his acting score.
Just let things take their course; in other words, whatever happens, happens.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, a charity event is being held.
Due to the time difference, it is nighttime here in the Ancient Country, while it is daytime on the other side of the ocean.
What's rather funny is that this charity event was specifically organized for the Squid Country.
All the "donations" will ultimately be used to buy weapons for the Squid Country.
To outsiders, this charity event was nothing short of a joke.
In the very front row, in the very center of the venue, sat five old men.
Although they are all quite old, they all look very energetic.
The people present were all of considerable status and influence.
In a corner of the venue, there was a short, middle-aged man with a sleazy appearance.
Judging from this person's Identity Token, his name is Watanabe Saburo, clearly a representative of the Radiant Water Country.
However, at this moment, Watanabe Saburo looked somewhat nervous, and his hand holding the camera was even trembling.
" Watanabe, calm down. You need to learn to adapt to the atmosphere here," an elderly man next to Watanabe Saburo said, patting him on the shoulder.
"Hi, President."
This is your chance; you must learn to seize it.
"Clear."
Seeing Watanabe Saburo's performance, the old man nodded in satisfaction.
However, what he didn't know was what crazy thoughts were swirling in Watanabe Saburo's mind at that moment.
In about three minutes, the name Watanabe Saburo will resound throughout the world.
The second-best Graves player in the Chinese server is about to be released.
What Watanabe Saburo didn't notice was that a camera above his head had already been adjusted to the correct angle.
The camera was pointed at him.
Everything that Watanabe Saburo does next will be recorded by this camera.
"President, may I go to the front to take pictures?"
"Of course, this is your job."
This charity event was essentially a publicity stunt, and there were quite a few reporters present.
Watanabe Saburo was somewhat excited, pressing the shutter button on his camera as he moved closer to the front of the venue.
Once he found the best angle, Watanabe Saburo's expression gradually became ferocious and crazed.
He simply pressed the camera lens down and then pushed it forward.
The already long camera lens was extended forward by a factor of two.
He quickly turned the two buttons on the back of the camera.
"Click, click!"
The sound of a bullet being chambered came from inside the camera.
" Fishman deserve to die!" Watanabe Saburo shouted.
Then five gunshots rang out in succession.
A deafening gunshot rang out throughout the venue, immediately plunging the entire place into chaos.
The guards' shouts, the woman's screams, and the panicked cries created complete chaos.
Watanabe Saburo was quickly pinned to the ground by the guards.
But he kept shouting something.
Almost simultaneously, surveillance cameras in every corner of the room were all pointed at Watanabe Saburo.
At the very front center of the venue, the five old men who had been chatting and laughing just moments before were now completely silent!
These five shots were incredibly accurate, each hitting the heart, and it was clear that these five people were beyond saving.
Thus, the second-best Graves player in the Chinese server was officially born.
With such a big commotion, the media in Amalican should have given it extensive coverage.
But in reality, there isn't any; not only that, you can't find any related information online.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already finished watching the live broadcast.
"Son, edit and tidy up this video, then upload it to the short video platform in Radiant Water Country."
"The second male gun has appeared in their country again, shouldn't they celebrate?"
As for why it's not posted on short video platforms in Ancient Country...
We need to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Just Transport it again later!
