Chapter 33

: Inviting guests, beheading, and taking in dogs

..............................

Is that even a question?

Of course I want to!

Legendary items are unique, meaning there is only one of them in the entire game "Dragon Raja: New World"!

Even a basic, unequipped item with a unique trait can fetch a high price on the auction house, let alone the incredible effect of this [Peacekeeper].

Among the six random effects that come with each bullet, there is one that can cause "instant death". If you're lucky, you might be able to kill the Dragon King with a single shot!

Of course, given Xuanyu Company's track record, they must have already implemented restrictions in this area, but that doesn't stop Lin Zhiying from indulging in fantasies.

"In no mood!"

Lin Zhiying turned her face away, forcing herself not to look at the "Peace Defender" on the table.

That old guy is definitely not planning anything good!

Therefore, no matter how much you desire it, you shouldn't show it too obviously.

Han Gao smiled; Lin Zhiying's little tricks couldn't fool him at all.

The reason he dared to bring out the "Peace Defender" is because he had enough substance to attract him.

"That's a pity, I was originally planning to give it to you."

Seeing that Henkel was about to take the Peacekeeper away, Lin Zhiying couldn't care less about pretending anymore and quickly reached out to stop him.

"Wait, actually I still want it."

Legendary items; very few players obtained them in the previous generation.

Lin Chih-ying has this opportunity now; if she misses it, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Forget about being shameless, even if it meant not having a butt... never mind, we still have to have that.

In short, even though he knew Henkel had set a trap for him, the bait was so tempting that he had no choice but to jump in.

Han Gao sat on the sofa, watching Lin Zhiying's face change instantly. He didn't feel disgusted; on the contrary, he thought it was genuine.

This is much better than someone who secretly does bad things while pretending not to know what they want.

"I'd like to know, what is your relationship with Angers?"

Han Gao's face was serious, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, giving off a sense of pressure.

What is my relationship with Angers? Lin Zhiying was stumped by Henkel's question.

Do I have any connection with Angers?

I have absolutely no relationship with him!

But if he were to tell the truth, Henri would certainly not believe him.

What if he just takes the Peacekeeper away?

So, yes, my brother has some.

No problem? Then find a way to create one!

He pondered for a long time, then put on a sorrowful expression, his face showing grief and resentment:

"I don't want you to tell anyone else about this."

"As you can see, I am actually Angers' illegitimate son."

If he only gave himself an "80 out of 100" for his performance in deceiving Caesar last time.

This time, Lin Zhiying learned his lesson and felt that his performance was perfect!

After he spoke, the air in the room instantly turned cold, and Han Gao stood there dumbfounded.

How about that? Weren't you shocked?

After a while, Henkel still hadn't responded, and Lin Zhiying was a little puzzled, since he hadn't activated "Time Zero" himself.

Fortunately, Henkel's eyes moved and slowly fell on him. He clapped lightly: "Very good lame joke, very original."

You don't believe me?

Lin Zhiying was not discouraged, and he continued to elaborate:

"Look, his Word of Power is 'Time Zero,' and mine is also 'Time Zero.' He doesn't have any children on the surface, so the answer is obvious, isn't it?"

Is this still not enough to win you over?

Hango shrugged and said, "To be honest, I'd love to hear gossip about Angers, but he can't possibly have children."

Without giving Lin Zhiying time to let his thoughts wander, he continued:

"I investigated you, but your past is well hidden. I didn't find anything useful. However, judging from your appearance, you are no more than 30 years old."

"And Angers, after his death in Kassel, had no other thoughts but 'revenge,' so next time you might want to try dressing up as an old man."

The "Summer's Lament" incident occurred in 1900. If he were truly Angers' illegitimate son, he would be at least a hundred years old by now.

Lin Zhiying cried out in his heart that he had made a mistake. He should have said that he was Angers' grandson!

"Then if I said I have nothing to do with Angers, would you believe me?"

Lin Zhiying shrugged and confessed truthfully.

What do you think?

Han Gao looked at him and asked in return.

Look, it's not that I'm trying to lie, it's this chaotic world that's ruined me!

"Never mind, that's not important. Information can lie, but interests won't. Lin Zhiying, would you like to join us?"

Han Gao spoke up, extending an olive branch to him.

[Ding! You have successfully triggered the long-term questline: A New Era]

The roar of technology has replaced the ancient power, and the dragon race has become increasingly weak. The future does not belong to the dragon race or humans; it belongs to the hybrid race!

We possess human minds and the might of dragons; we will lead the era and usher in a new age!

[Note: Activating this questline will affect subsequent storylines, please choose carefully!!!]

"Once you join us, this gun is yours, and we will focus our resources on training you."

Han Gao smiled. Lin Zhiying was not Caesar; he did not have the abundant resources of the Gattuso family.

Such a condition would be hard for any mixed-race person to refuse, and he could almost see Lin Zhiying stepping forward to take his hand.

Such a massive allocation of resources to a single faction!

Lin Zhiying immediately stood up.

Instead, he walked towards the door, demonstrating his stance through his actions.

A second-rate power wants me to join?

You think you're worthy?

Why didn't I join the Execution Department or pursue other mission lines? Was it to join a second-rate faction like yours?

The answer is obvious: he was ambitious and had high hopes, which is why he didn't rush to choose his own mission line!

Lin Zhiying grasped the round handle on the door and gently turned it.

Han Gao couldn't sit still any longer, and he called out to him:

"Wait, if there's anything you're unhappy about, you can bring it up, and we can talk about it. Yes, there's nothing that can't be discussed."

Lin Zhiying turned around without saying a word and slowly took something out of her backpack.

An old-fashioned parchment scroll.

Henkel stared at the parchment scroll in his hand, his brows furrowed.

The scent emanating from the parchment was exactly the same as that of the "Peace Defender" on the table.

This is also a legendary item!

How could he have such a thing? Could it be that Caesar gave it to him? Henri was surprised for the first time.

If that's really the case, I'll have to re-evaluate my opinion of Lin Zhiying.

What they can give, the Gattuso family can also give, but what the Gattuso family can give, they cannot give!

Henkel was tempted to give up, but he was unwilling to do so.

What kind of person would someone be that even the Gattuso family thinks has potential?

Chu Zihang from the next executive department, or perhaps, Han Gao took a deep breath, even he was startled by his own thoughts.

Or perhaps, the next Angers!

Ps:

The previously mentioned "unique items" will now be uniformly changed to "legendary items".

The game title "Dragon Raja: World" has been uniformly changed to "Dragon Raja: New World" (I didn't expect this game to actually exist. I changed it to avoid unnecessary trouble. I hope this is okay. *crying*)
