Chapter 14: I like Meiko, isn't that normal? (1800 monthly tickets plus more)

"Okay, everyone come in."

After deciding to "follow his heart", Lin Zhiyu called upon several of his "followers", or wives, who were hiding in the dark.

Rin Uehara, wielding a pair of blue lightsabers;

Li Meifeng in a white cheongsam;

Millicent, half-hidden by a winged helmet;

And, in a similar way to teleportation, Melina suddenly appeared beside Lin Zhiyu in the blue light that appeared out of thin air.

The four girls, plus Lin Zhiyu, made a team of exactly five people.

Therefore, Shiraki Meiko and Saeki Sayaka subconsciously thought that these beautiful women who entered the room after being called by Lin Zhiyu were all Lin Zhiyu's teammates, and were all trial-takers from the infinite space like them.

Originally, Lin Zhiyu alone had left the two of them completely helpless.

Now Lin Zhiyu's "teammates" have also arrived, and each one looks more awesome than the other. The two women therefore feel even more powerless, knowing that they have become fish on the chopping board. Whether the outcome will be good or bad depends entirely on Lin Zhiyu's intentions.

But Lin Zhiyu's subsequent remarks were beyond the two women's expectations.

"Let me introduce you to..."

"Well, I'll introduce them in detail after you agree to join! Anyway, these people are all my partners. You should be able to tell, right? They are all very strong~"

"Anyway, this is the situation. I have a strong team, the kind that's guaranteed to clear the level! What do you think? Would you consider joining us and experiencing what it's like to be led by someone?"

While making the invitation, Lin Zhiyu put the Dark Moon Greatsword and the Sword of Night and Fire back into the system space, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"What you call 'carrying and flying', is it serious?" Saeki Sayaka, who had just had her breasts massaged by Lin Zhiyu, almost wanted to ask Lin Zhiyu this question.

However, the situation was stronger than her, so she chose to remain silent.

And in silence, he began to ponder Lin Zhiyu's real purpose.

There is no free lunch in the world.

The goodwill that Lin Zhiyu suddenly showed must have secretly come with a price tag!

Shiraki Meiko also knew this truth, but her character was even more stubborn than Saeki Sayoko's. Even though she knew she was not qualified to negotiate with Lin Zhiyu, she still couldn't help but frowned and asked Lin Zhiyu:

"Why should we trust you?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyu walked behind Saeki Sayaka, stretched out his hands and hugged Saeki Sayaka from behind, then rested his chin on Saeki Sayaka's shoulders and said with a smile in his eyes:

"If I were untrustworthy and harbored ill intentions towards you, why would I even ask for your opinions despite possessing overwhelming power?"

When saying this, Lin Zhiyu's eyes were looking at Shiraki Meiko, while Saeki Sayaka, who was hugged by him from behind, was stiff all over and felt extremely ashamed and angry.

It was Meiko Shiraki who made the suggestion, so why didn't Lin Zhiyu take advantage of Meiko Shiraki!

If she really asked Lin Zhiyu this, Lin Zhiyu would definitely tell her: Because Miss Sayoko seems to be easier to handle.

"Okay, since you are asking for our opinions instead of forcing us to join your team, what will you do if I choose to refuse?" Shiraki Meiko stared at Lin Zhiyu, her eyes still full of disgust and disdain, as if she was asking for sex.

"If you don't want to join, I won't force you, but you only have one chance, so you'd better think about it carefully... Oh, by the way, your other two teammates, Cody and Lucard, are both dead." Lin Zhiyu said calmly.

Although they had no friendship with Cody and Rugal, after hearing the news from Lin Zhiyu, Shiraki Meiko and Saeki Sayaka's faces darkened and they clenched their fists involuntarily.

Especially in the current situation, Lin Zhiyu's words sounded like a threat, making Shiraki Meiko and Saeki Sayaka almost think that it was Lin Zhiyu who killed Cody and Lucard.

But Lin Zhiyu immediately added:

"Your two teammates didn't die at the hands of others, but rather because of an internal conflict that ultimately resulted in both of them being injured. As for why they started fighting, I'm sure you all know the reason."

After hearing what Lin Zhiyu said, the two women immediately realized that Lucard and Cody must have been killing each other because of the task issued by the Infinite System!

At the same time, the two women also knew that Lin Zhiyu wanted to convey a deeper message to them.

Because multiple teams are competing in this world, even if there are no internal challenges, there will be external ones. Even if Shiraki Meiko and Saeki Sayaka can trust and support each other, can they really make it through the game alone?

"Come to think of it, how many times have you two entered the infinite world? You should have relatively little experience in clearing levels, right?" This time, Lin Zhiyu didn't look into Shiraki Meiko's eyes when asking the question, but started blowing hot air into Saeki Sayaka's ears.

Sayaka Saeki couldn't stand it anymore, so she took away the arms that Lin Zhiyu had wrapped around her neck, turned around and said to Lin Zhiyu that it was the first time for her and Meiko Shiraki to enter the infinite world, and they had no experience in clearing the level. Is there any problem with this?

Lin Zhiyu said patiently, "Of course there is a problem! You know, every time we clear a level, we will receive generous rewards and our strength will be greatly improved. Let me put it this way! So far, I have cleared the level four times, which is the fundamental reason why you two are powerless in my hands and can only let me slaughter you."

Of course, Lin Zhiyu's main point wasn't how awesome he was, but rather that he wanted Saeki Sayoko and Shiraki Meiko to understand that, although they both had decent abilities, they were both novices and had no experience whatsoever.

If I meet an "old hand" like Lin Zhiyu again in the future.

But if the other party does not give them a chance like Lin Zhiyu, how should Saeki Sayaka and Shiraki Meiko respond?

The two women were not stupid, and they both realized this very quickly.

But they still have one last concern in their hearts, which is that in order to join Lin Zhiyu's team and be protected by Lin Zhiyu, what will they have to pay for it?

As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world. Now they want to know, what is the price?

"The price? Of course it's yourselves!" Lin Zhiyu said bluntly.

The two women were stunned.

Meiko Shiraki then said loudly:

"You still say you have no ill intentions!"

Lin Zhiyu said as a matter of course, "Meiko is so beautiful and has a great figure. Isn't it normal for people to like her?"

"...You!" Once again shocked by Lin Zhiyu's remarks, Shiraki Meiko didn't know how to refute this time. Her face was still full of disgust, and her cheeks were slightly hot.

Then Lin Zhiyu looked at Saeki Sayaka again. Saeki Sayaka was stunned for a moment, then said to Lin Zhiyu with an embarrassed look on her face, "It's understandable for a man like you to like beautiful women, but you can't force others!"

"Force? Don't worry, I'm not that despicable. I just want to trick you here first, and then conquer you slowly." Lin Zhiyu said the truth in a seemingly joking manner.

His purpose was indeed not pure, but when he laid it all out in the open.

Meiko Shiraki and Sayaka Saeki were not so wary.

Chapter 15 Playing with the Dark Elves

It was a new day, and the competition continued as usual in the island arena. The stands were as crowded and noisy as ever.

It was as if the incident of a certain "Kalia Knight" causing trouble in the arena yesterday had never happened at all.

"Open your eyes and see clearly! Take this opportunity to understand the difference in strength between you and Lin Zhiyu."

In the audience, Lin Zhiyu's "teammates" sat in a row, including Shiraki Meiko and Saeki Sayaka. After careful consideration, the two women had finally chosen to join Lin Zhiyu's team. Li Meifeng, who sat closest to them, urged them to prepare and watch the upcoming match carefully.

Because another game is about to begin, one of the two players who have already entered is Lin Zhiyu!

Lin Zhiyu's opponent is none other than the dark elf Vera, who had previously had some friction with Lin Zhiyu at the registration office!

Just like Iris, Vera ranks in the top ten in the arena rankings. Coupled with her hot body and beautiful appearance, her popularity is naturally quite high!

As soon as she appeared on the stage, countless audiences shouted "victory".

In comparison, Lin Zhiyu did not receive much support from the audience.

Everyone looked at Lin Zhiyu's full set of beast-gathering armor made of mithril, and they would only think that although this guy looks competent, if his opponent is Vera, even if he is not a silver-plated spear head, he would probably be beaten to look like a silver-plated spear head, right?

Even Vera thought so.

She is very confident.

In her opinion, Lin Zhiyu, whose armor and weapons were all luxurious, was nothing but a show.

It was not until the moment the game started that the dark elf holding a pair of daggers realized that she was wrong!

And it’s totally wrong!

As an "assassin," Vera's fighting style is known for its speed, and she wins by looking for opportunities to kill with one strike. At the beginning of the match, she tried to rely on her proud speed to take Lin Zhiyu's life with lightning speed.

But Lin Zhiyu was faster than her. She had just taken a step and hadn't even rushed forward when Lin Zhiyu had already brandished the Sword of Night and Fire and slashed an orange-red cyclone at her through the air.

This is Lin Zhiyu's [Fierce Wind Blade], a long-range combat skill similar to a wind blade, but with the power of fire added, so the cyclone is orange-red!

"Shh!"

Like an arrow shot from a bow, the fierce wind blade slashed out by Lin Zhiyu flew in front of Vera in an instant.

At the critical moment, the dark elf twisted his body and turned sideways to avoid the oncoming cyclone in time, but Lin Zhiyu in the distance did not stop. Instead, he swung his sword continuously, slashing out one fierce wind blade after another through the air.

Vera, who originally wanted to attack actively, could only dodge passively, relying on her agility to perform various small jumps, rolls, and spins.

She successfully dodged Lin Zhiyu's fierce wind blade time and time again. Her agile posture made it seem like she was performing some kind of war dance every time she dodged. It was so pleasing to the eye that the audience in the stands cheered.

The cheers from the audience continued, but Vera was completely unaware. She had thrown herself into the battle and automatically blocked out the noisy shouts of the audience. All she could hear was the sound of the storm breaking through the air again and again.

The audience just needs to watch the show, but Vera has a lot to consider.

Only she herself knew how dangerous the situation was for her.

"That bastard, doesn't he get tired?!"

While constantly dodging and moving around the field, Vera had been observing Lin Zhiyu's condition, but Lin Zhiyu was like a machine that never got tired, always swinging his sword and slashing out the Fierce Wind Blade at the same speed.

Dodging again and again consumed Vera's physical strength. Her breathing gradually became disordered, but Lin Zhiyu was still "repeating" her fighting skills, and the Fierce Wind Blade continued.

However, Vera was not just passively taking the beating. With every successful dodge, the distance between her and Lin Zhiyu was actually getting closer.

Until the distance between her and Lin Zhiyu was less than ten meters, Vera, regardless of everything, suddenly used all her strength, and in an instant crossed the remaining distance and arrived in front of Lin Zhiyu.

Moreover, she timed it very well. At that moment, Lin Zhiyu had just raised his hand to accumulate another fierce wind blade, and she suddenly burst out with a full-speed sprint attack. She wanted to seize the opportunity to defeat Lin Zhiyu in one fell swoop at the moment when Lin Zhiyu had already swung his sword but had not yet condensed the air blade!

"No matter how strong the storm is, one strike from me is enough!" Vera, who had already rushed to Lin Zhiyu, waved the dagger in her hand, as if she had foreseen the scene that Lin Zhiyu would be cut in the throat by her in the next second.

Boom——whoosh!

Just then, Vera heard a loud noise.

Then, a storm surged! A powerful airflow hit Vera's enchanting body, interrupting her attack!

But Lin Zhiyu in front of Vera was not affected by the storm at all. He took advantage of Vera's loss of balance, stretched out his left hand and locked Vera's throat, and slowly lifted up the sexy dark elf with her feet hanging in the air.

"Ahem... bastard, you, what did you just do!?"

With Lin Zhiyu holding her throat, Vera, even though she still held her weapon, didn't dare to move rashly. She knew that with the strength Lin Zhiyu had to easily lift her feet off the ground with one hand, it would only take a moment for him to crush her throat.

But she was unwilling to give up! She also didn't understand what was going on with that sudden burst of air that interrupted her attack!

"Since Miss Vera wants to know the reason for her failure so much, I will demonstrate it again." Lin Zhiyu, who had already won, raised his right foot and stomped on the ground.

boom!

Although it was just a small stomp of the foot, the sound it made was like a cannonball. It was in this eardrum-shaking sound that a storm rose around Lin Zhiyu, and the strong airflow made Vera's hair messy.

Vera was stunned. She could never have imagined that Lin Zhiyu had defeated her in the end by relying on... athlete's foot?

"This move is called [Storm Foot]. Do you want to learn it? I'll teach you!" Lin Zhiyu said to Vera with a smile under the cover of the helmet.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhiyu loosened his hand. Vera, who was originally held by his throat with her feet hanging in the air, fell to the ground immediately. She raised her hands to cover her throat and started coughing repeatedly. The way she sat on the ground coughing with tears in the corners of her eyes was really pitiful.

Meanwhile, in the stands.

"Controlling the storm, is this his true strength? It really is..." Sayaka Saeki pondered with a serious face, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Meifeng beside her.

"Heh! Who told you that that was Lin Zhiyu's true strength? If I said that he only used one percent of his strength at most, would you believe it?" Li Meifeng said to Saeki Sayaka with a proud look on her face. At the same time, she also glanced at Shiraki Meiko, who had a serious face like Saeki Sayaka.

Meiko Shiraki didn't even look at Li Meifeng, her attention was completely focused on Lin Zhiyu in the field.

According to what Li Meifeng said, she couldn't help but frowned and whispered:

"So, he was just playing around, deliberately teasing his opponent, right? He really is a bad-tempered fellow..."

Chapter 16: All gifts are secretly marked with a price

"Scrolls! All kinds of spell scrolls! Don't miss them if you pass by~!"

"The jars are open! The jars are open! The prices are fair, and there are random treasures hidden inside. Come on, make money with money~!"

"Wow! How could I possibly lie to you? I was actually in the stands at that moment. That angel wielded a large blue sword, freezing half the arena to ice with one strike. Many people saw it with their own eyes. If you don't believe me, go ask!"
