Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God
Chapter 586: Infiltrating the School
After reading and simply replying to the person from 'Order' in an official, business-like manner, Lin Yu wasn't in a hurry to switch to the social accounts of his other identities next.
Although there were no new messages coming in...
There was a huge pile of friend requests.
As the newly appointed Jiangcheng Assistant Team Leader of 'Order', the already famous 'May May' now had the backing of 'Order', naturally making him a target many organizations and players wanted to connect with.
And Lin Yu also had the obligation to negotiate with them.
Lin Yu went through them one by one, adding the contacts from righteous organizations like the 'Hunters' Association', the 'Player Mutual Aid Association', other local organizations, or 'Class' alliances, and only after changing their notes one by one did he consider the handling of the 'May May' identity complete.
However...
Fortunately, after dealing with the messages on 'May May's side, the remaining few accounts showed no signs of being so popular.
Naturally, no one was privately messaging the 'Heavenly Artisan' account, and there didn't seem to be much movement within the 'Marauders' either.
Switching to the 'Old Yao' side, 'Tycoon' had indeed sent another message.
Looking at the message content, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a bit helpless again.
[Tycoon: Recently, 'May May' has taken up the post of Assistant Team Leader for Jiangcheng Team One of 'Order'. When you have time, remember to invite him to come sit with us at our 'Jiang'an Hall'.]
Lin Yu sighed helplessly.
Finally, there was a message on Old Yao's side, and it was still related to 'May May'!
However, Lin Yu still casually replied to Tycoon.
"Received, rest assured boss, my relationship with him is solid, it's just a matter of a single word."
After editing and sending the message, Lin Yu indeed planned to find some time to go sit with 'Tycoon'.
Plus, having already promised Tycoon in the 'Old Yao' identity to attend the 'Jiang'an Hall' gathering, Lin Yu was essentially going to have to go twice.
Once in the 'Old Yao' identity, once in the 'May May' identity.
Finally, there was the 'Zhu Ming' identity.
After switching to the account related to 'Zhu Ming', the 'Psychological Society' similarly had no new instructions.
But Li Nian had sent a new message.
[A Nian: Do you still want the reward that fatty gave you? If not, I'm going to list it on the 'Hunters' Association' to sell!]
Only then did Lin Yu realize he still had the reward from Chen Zhuo stored with Li Nian.
Although Lin Yu currently lacked neither money nor [items], he still replied to Li Nian.
[Zhu Ming: I do. I'm free today, how about you?]
Li Nian replied quickly.
[A Nian: Wait for my message later. I haven't finished school yet, final exams are coming up soon, I can't just skip class casually.]
Lin Yu then remembered that Li Nian was a high school student.
Although universities were already on holiday, high school students' holidays were always a bit shorter.
It's just that Lin Yu was somewhat surprised...
"This girl actually cares about her grades?"
Thinking this, Lin Yu couldn't help but become a little curious.
Although Li Nian told him to wait for her message...
Lin Yu just didn't plan to wait.
"Just as well, I'm free today anyway, might as well go see how Li Nian usually lives her campus life."
"Moreover, judging by 'Zhu Ming's' way of doing things, not following what Li Nian says is actually in line with the character's persona."
Using Fu Luo's identity to operate within the [dungeon] this time had given Lin Yu quite a taste of the benefits, further cementing his belief that his usual habit of observing other people's behavior was correct.
Just as well, now that he had been promoted to 'Second Tier'...
Li Nian, as the 'Second Tier' player he was most familiar with, indeed seemed worthy of his observation. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
...
After having a simple breakfast, greeting Lin Zhao and saying he planned to go out for a stroll, Lin Yu left home.
Regarding Li Nian's information, Lin Yu had already investigated it thoroughly long ago.
The middle school Li Nian attended was a school called Shengle Private Middle School.
This was an extremely famous private middle school in Jiangcheng, with a reputation not inferior to Jiangcheng's key municipal schools.
For top-tier, well-known universities both domestic and international, Shengle basically sent many students there each graduating class, almost like stamp collecting.
Lin Yu had briefly looked into this school's teaching philosophy and enrollment strategy.
Overall, Shengle only had three types of students: the rich, the academically excellent, and the rich who were also academically excellent.
Students from wealthy families paid high tuition fees to be sent here. The school's board of directors would provide their parents with a complete, mature pathway to send their children to prestigious foreign universities through donations and crafting impressive resumes.
A portion of the tuition fees from those wealthy students would then be used as generous scholarships to attract academically gifted students from poor families and to hire top-tier teachers, ensuring Shengle Middle School could consistently produce many "poster students" each year capable of testing into the country's top universities.
As for those who were both rich and academically excellent, naturally they could take either path, with the most outstanding among them becoming Shengle's competition students.
This school was perfectly suited for the setting of old-fashioned campus romance novels: poor but hardworking geniuses and wealthy young masters and misses living and studying together on one campus. Even Lin Yu, who didn't read much romance fiction, could instantly think of many classic permutations and combinations.
But no matter what...
"Getting mixed into this school really isn't that easy," Lin Yu stood at the main gate of Shengle Middle School, looking at the surveillance cameras everywhere, the clearly electrified fence, and the tightly closed gate, feeling a headache coming on. "These rich people are way too concerned about their children's personal safety."
He couldn't help but reminisce about No.6 Middle School's shabby, simple gate and the amiable, elderly security guard uncle.
At the gate of Shengle Middle School, even the security guards on duty were sharp-eyed, vigorous, tall, and powerfully built men, with four on duty at the same time—two standing guard, two watching the monitors and the gate.
They all wore neat, sharp, and imposing black uniforms with the two large characters "Security Guard" printed on their chests—but honestly, Lin Yu felt swapping those two characters for "Special Duty" would also be reasonable.
After a long period of baptism in the 'Death Game', Lin Yu had developed a relatively accurate ability to assess human combat prowess.
He was quite certain that these four guys in front of him might not have actually been on a battlefield, but they absolutely had military service or similar experience.
That kind of capable, disciplined spirit was definitely something only acquired through systematic training.
However...
Although it was a bit troublesome, for someone like Lin Yu, a 'player' of the 'Death Game', and a 'Second Tier' one at that, with a 'Class' even being 'Fraudster', it was just a matter of using a few more [items].
After finding a certain surveillance blind spot, Lin Yu took out the [Counterfeit], draped it over himself, and quickly transformed into a set of Shengle Middle School's black and red school uniform!
Then, Lin Yu took out the [Corner of the Gloomy], aimed it at a patch of tree shade on the school's sports field, activated this [item], and directly sent himself through the fence and inside!
