Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God
Chapter 469: The Solution and the Calculation
Laplace's Demon is a hypothetical creature proposed by the mathematician Laplace. It can be simply explained as an "omniscient being within the universe that can grasp the motion trajectory of every single atom."
Although Lin Yu was quite certain that [The Method of Deduction Through the All-Seeing Eye] could not achieve this, judging by its performance, this thing truly possessed a strength worthy of a [Third Tier] player's [Exclusive Item]!
Even the attack Lin Yu unleashed, which was enough to put Twenty in a "hopeless situation" under normal circumstances, could be neutralized in the face of this [item].
And Twenty's attacks, because of this thing's existence, would become even more aggressive and difficult to comprehend.
After all... it was equivalent to being able to find every "possibility" to achieve the goal Twenty wanted to reach.
Things that originally might have required "coincidence" and "accident" to accomplish, those small probability events that human effort could not reach, could not calculate, and thus could only ignore...
At this moment, for Twenty, they all seemed to become utilizable, known factors.
Therefore, to deal with Twenty, it was best to first make his [Exclusive Item] malfunction!
That's why Lin Yu, just moments ago, had ignored the Goat Demon remains that had caused him actual damage and instead tried to attack the golden eye in the sky.
However, this was merely an attempt!
As Lin Yu expected, the tree directly passed through the golden eye, causing a ripple-like wave to spread out, without producing any actual effect.
This thing had no physical form.
Come to think of it, that made sense. If such a large, seemingly immobile thing was just stuck up in the open, unobstructed sky, and could still be directly knocked down...
Then Twenty's [Exclusive Item] would truly be a laughingstock.
Since it was an [Exclusive Item], it couldn't possibly have such an obvious flaw!
"Should I use energy attacks..."
Although Lin Yu wasn't without means in that regard, as a "Rakshasa," if Lin Yu suddenly used something that looked very much like the style of a player's [item], it might expose his identity!
This was what Lin Yu least wanted to see.
"Wait... although an [Exclusive Item] cannot have overly obvious flaws, it also cannot be truly invincible."
That thing in the sky wasn't a physical entity, but this thing did indeed have a physical form.
This was, after all, an [item] that required a "carrier."
Lin Yu remembered when Twenty first took it out, it was in the shape of a pendant.
"So, where is that pendant?"
He quickly scanned Twenty's body but didn't find the golden eye-shaped pendant.
However, those golden threads connected to Twenty... they all seemed to converge into one place.
The convergence point of those threads was right in the center of Twenty's chest!
"If I'm not mistaken, that thing should be there."
"However, Twenty keeps it so close to his body. With my current large size, if I could actually get it... if I could really get it, then I could probably just kill him directly!"
If I could already touch a pendant on Twenty's chest, why not just give him a black tiger heart-ripping attack?
Moreover, Twenty would definitely be on high alert against Lin Yu's attempt to restrict his [Exclusive Item].
Lin Yu thought quickly, and soon a new idea surfaced in his mind.
"Wait, since this thing is shaped like an eye and is also called 'All-Seeing Eye'... then perhaps I can gamble that its information-gathering ability relies on 'sight' or, for the most part, is completed through 'optical imaging.'"
"In that case... Hannah!"
Lin Yu called Hannah's name in his heart.
"Ribbit, Director, I'm here!"
"I have an order for you—next, you must do your utmost to approach and steal the golden pendant near that guy's chest."
As Lin Yu spoke, Hannah immediately responded.
"Ribbit, Understood, Director!"
Hannah replied seriously.
Although it was somewhat risky, this was currently the "optimal solution" Lin Yu could think of!
If the other party truly relied entirely on "sight" to collect information, then Hannah was the most likely to deceive this [item] with its "pseudo-omniscient" effect.
And Lin Yu wouldn't let Hannah take this risk alone!
"Use Hannah's disguise to see if we can fool the other party, and at the same time... I must make this thing too busy to pay attention to Hannah!"
He looked at Twenty and spoke in a low voice.
"The function of this eye of yours is to 'calculate what actions are needed to achieve your goal,' correct?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Twenty laughed.
"You are more clever than I imagined, Rakshasa... It seems the overlord of the Black Marsh world ten thousand years ago didn't possess only brute strength."
"At least in terms of combat, you are quite intelligent."
Twenty's tone was quite arrogant. It was precisely because of this arrogance that he chose to answer Lin Yu's question.
After all, in Twenty's view...
Even if he admitted the other's guess, letting it know the general function of his [Exclusive Item], it wouldn't affect the other's inability to deal with it.
In Twenty's view...
The strength of his [Exclusive Item] was among the top tier even among [Third Tier] players!
As a [Detective] who preferred to scheme from behind the scenes, he didn't even have many means or [items] for direct combat.
Yet Twenty still ranked on the forum's leaderboard—this was enough to prove the point.
Looking at the confident Twenty, Lin Yu let out a breath.
Confidence was good. Being confident was a good thing.
Maintaining the Rakshasa persona, Lin Yu looked at Twenty and made a declaration.
"Calculating? So it really is like that!"
"Then it seems as long as I create a truly hopeless situation, one it cannot calculate any solution for, I can still kill you!"
As Lin Yu spoke, Twenty laughed heartily.
"If you can really do that, then I wouldn't die unjustly!"
Twenty said, and the goat head began spewing those crimson gases again!
Lin Yu raised the giant axe once more, advancing to meet the crimson gases.
As a "Rakshasa," he didn't have that many devious and unpredictable means or complex skills.
Even though he had quite a few player [items], even if he could take them out, Lin Yu didn't think those [items] would be worth much in the face of a [Third Tier]!
But, as the saying goes...
His current strength was sufficiently powerful!
The giant axe fell heavily, and the golden eye once again manipulated Twenty to dodge in a bizarre manner!
"Boom!"
The crimson gas rushed over Lin Yu, once again inflicting some injuries on him!
But...
With Lin Yu's current physical constitution, these injuries... were nothing to worry about!
Watching Lin Yu's aggressive actions, Twenty sneered.
"You think launching a frenzied offense like this can create a hopeless situation?"
"Your crude attacks like this will only create more openings!"
Twenty mocked. Lin Yu did not respond.
He knew what Twenty said was correct, but...
Lin Yu wasn't actually planning to force him into a hopeless situation with no calculable solution!
That kind of attack... was very hard to achieve.
"A little faster!"
Lin Yu's goal was only to increase the frequency of Twenty's calculations, to intensify the burden on his [item]!
As long as it was "calculation," then overload was possible.
After an overload, it might not make mistakes or errors, but it was highly likely to "overlook" certain insignificant details!
