Chapter 12611

In his view, the father and son, Mou Sheng and Zhang Baiyu, were an extremely traditional pair.

There was little interaction.

There was no real emotional expression whatsoever.

But throughout the banquet, from the perspective of the world's will, Lin Yi clearly saw the protectiveness that the strategist inadvertently revealed.

Zhang Baiyu was stunned for a moment.

As Lin Yi left the mansion of the strategist, he silently made plans in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Shaoweng will definitely try every means to scheme against him and lure him into a trap.

What we need to do is to turn the tables on them.

After initial contact, Xu Shaoweng, though a seasoned veteran, was not that difficult to deal with.

The biggest variable is the strategist.

If what Zhang Baiyu said is true, the strategist has decided to bet on someone else, especially if that person is Xu Shaoweng, then the situation is hard to predict.

With Lin Yi's current strength, he naturally has no fear of the Strategist Saint in a real head-on confrontation.

The problem is, they might not give him that opportunity.

After all, a master strategist is not a master killer.

Fortunately, Zhang Baiyu is here, so even if the strategist makes a bet, there's a very high probability he won't actually go for the kill.

Furthermore, Zhang Baiyu's presence is enough to relieve most of the pressure from the strategist.

Upon returning to the Termination Society headquarters, Lin Yi unexpectedly encountered a familiar face.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Yi looked at Ai Yuer with a surprised expression.

Ai Yu'er tilted her head and suddenly blurted out, "I've come to play with you."

Lin Yi was stunned: "Huh?"

Is there really such an unpredictable person?
Although they had met twice, they hadn't exchanged a single word, neither when the racetrack arrived nor at the banquet at the Strategist's Mansion.

I can't even begin to describe myself as familiar with them.

What's the deal with this so-called "coming to visit you" nonsense?
Is this girl a little bit clueless?
Although the other party was Xu Shaoweng's man, not everyone around a swindler is a swindler. At least Lin Yi did not discriminate against Ai Yuer herself.

Seeing Lin Yi's bewildered reaction, Ai Yu'er seemed to realize that something was wrong. She tilted her head and thought for a long time before finally understanding.

Immediately afterwards, she grabbed the hem of her skirt, and with a tearing sound, the skirt ripped open.

Most of her smooth and delicate thighs were exposed.

After thinking for a moment, Ai Yuer added an "Oh dear."

"..."

Lin Yi was speechless: "Are you trying to scam me here?"

Ai Yu'er looked puzzled: "Isn't that right? But that's what Master said!"

Lin Yi asked with amusement, "What did your master say to you?"

"Master said..."

Ai Yu'er was about to blurt it out when she suddenly snapped out of her daze: "I can't tell you!"

Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated: "Fine."

Although the whole process is a bit abstract and difficult to understand, if you review it, you can still get a general outline.

This girl is probably trying to seduce someone.

It's obvious who's behind this.

Strictly speaking, Ai Yuer is quite pretty, especially when she stands there without saying a word, she has the air of a quiet girl next door.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi had seen her performance when the track came down.

The little girl's fierce way of swinging the sledgehammer was so impressive that anyone who saw it would probably find it hard to be seduced by her.

Moreover, Ai Yuer's seductive skills were truly beyond words.

To be honest, it's quite a peculiar thought process for that old swindler to assign her to seduce someone.

However, although it was a bit strange, Lin Yi only found it amusing and did not feel any aversion to it.

"So, what exactly are you here for?"

Lin Yi steered the conversation back to the main topic.

Ai Yuer suddenly woke up: "Oh right, Master asked me to give you something, saying it was a greeting gift. Here you go."

As he spoke, he handed over a bead about half the size of his palm.

"Divine equipment?"

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched.

All the beads that Xu Shaoweng had shown off in front of others before were pure fakes, but the bead in front of him was genuine.

However, the style is similar to those counterfeit goods.

The same dazzling brilliance, the same mesmerizing spectacle.

Upon acquiring the bead, Lin Yi immediately used the Wuhou Star Chart to authenticate it.

"Mirage Pearl, a basic divine equipment, can be synthesized."

"Divine Equipment Effect: Increases physical evasion by 1% and adds the 'Fleeting Shadow' special effect."

"Fleeting Shadow: When moving, you can leave a shadow behind you that lasts for 1 second. The shadow has no physical form, does not attract aggro, does not take damage, and is purely for light and shadow effects."

Lin Yi's expression turned strange after reading it.

This is definitely the real thing, but the effect is far too superficial.

If it weren't for the negligible 1% physical dodge, this thing would be nothing more than a skin effect.

Aside from looking cool and stylish, it has no real effect.

However, to be fair, for a complete fraudster like Xu Shaoweng, being able to produce such a superficial divine weapon is already quite a show of sincerity.

Or perhaps, they've already gone all out.

"I've accepted the gift. Please thank your master for me."

Lin Yi immediately accepted it with great joy.

Putting everything else aside, there is at least one advantage: the other party will definitely pay more attention to you from now on.

After all, to some extent, it can be considered a huge investment.

"I'm leaving."

Ai Yu'er waved her hand and turned to leave.

After taking a few steps, she seemed to remember something, turned her head to glance at Lin Yi, and casually tugged at the hem of her skirt.

scoff.

The other side was also opened up to the thigh.

Seeing Lin Yi looking at her with a blank expression, Ai Yu'er was quite satisfied and left while muttering to herself.

"So seduction is quite simple after all."

Lin Yi: "..."

Looking at the other person's hopping and skipping figure, I was speechless for a moment.

You call this seduction?
Where did that old swindler Xu Shaoweng find this rough gem?

Lin Yi pinched his nose and finally concluded with a quiet sigh, "It's quite original."

Regardless of the outcome, Xu Shaoweng's intention in having Ai Yuer seduce him was quite obvious.

It's nothing more than letting yourself get hooked.

However, at this point, it's hard to say who's fishing for whom.

Half a day later, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the entire Tianjun County.

"The Sima family traded a low-level divine item for a mid-level divine item?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

Lu Bukui explained, "That's not quite right. Strictly speaking, the Sima family had Xu Shaoweng synthesize a mid-level divine equipment, claiming it was a free synthesis and they didn't charge any fees."

Lin Yi asked, "How many pieces of basic divine equipment did he use?"

Lu Bukui thought about it carefully: "Just one."

Lin Yi's expression was strange: "So that means Xu Shaoweng used a low-level divine equipment to synthesize a mid-level divine equipment?"

"Indeed."

Lu Bukui nodded and said, "Judging from the reactions of all parties, they were initially skeptical. However, the Sima family themselves stepped forward to testify and even held a special event to appreciate the divine equipment. Many people went to see it, and everyone said there was no problem with it." (End of this chapter)
