Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1070 - 1030: Let’s Play a Game

"Heh heh, what a joke! Where do you get the courage, kid, to say such words?

Why don’t you open your eyes and look around, take a good look at how many people are actually here in this hall?

Even if you don’t consider that just one of us could capture you, everyone in this hall has incredible skills, so what are you thinking?

You’re just a little brat; where on earth do you get the courage to speak like this? Heh heh, what a joke."

This sentence was enough to show the old man’s disdain for Lin Yi; meanwhile, he was secretly scoffing in his heart. If this guy really were a soldier from the Right Kingdom, then his actions today would be downright foolish.

After all, everyone present here can fight ten people at once, and besides themselves, there are many more outside.

As soon as the old man gives the order, countless soldiers will surround this place instantly, and this guy won’t be able to escape even if he grows wings.

However, Lin Yi didn’t regard his words seriously at all; he sat there calmly, still smiling as he watched everyone, listening to the old man’s fierce words. And the words Lin Yi spoke next were even more audacious:

"Heh. What a big mouth you have. Even if all of you come at me at once, do you think I would be afraid?

Heh heh, to prove my strength, why don’t we play an exciting game?"

Lin Yi truly didn’t consider this group of people worth his effort. If he wanted, he could take them all down with a simple wave of his hand.

However, they still had their uses, so Lin Yi wouldn’t directly attack. Instead, he smiled and casually said this.

At this moment, the old man found himself quite interested. Although feeling very angry inside, having something amusing to pass the time with wasn’t a bad thing.

Indeed, in his mind, Lin Yi was no more than a monkey.

Just a clown jumping around; with his numerous soldiers here and seventy thousand troops outside, could one person really turn the sky upside down?

Forget that he’s just some greenhorn; even if he had unparalleled martial prowess, how would that matter?

As soon as he gives the order, tens of thousands of soldiers would come swarming in, and no matter how formidable he is, they could trample him into a pulp in an instant.

This isn’t an exaggeration; seventy thousand men are no small number.

Even if they stood still waiting for you to come and slay them, you’d probably tire out and die.

Once intrigued, the old man immediately wore a face with a sly smirk.

After giving Lin Yi a cold glance, he also showed a disdainful expression:

"Heh heh, since you’ve decided to seek death, this old man shall grant it to you.

However, since you want to play around before you die, I’ll humor you.

Go ahead, tell me what you want. If you can make me laugh, I might leave your corpse intact."

With one sentence, the previously tense atmosphere around them instantly lightened up.

All the generals also revealed playful smiles.

They looked at Lin Yi with the same mocking intent as the old man.

This guy must have a screw loose, been dropped on his head, or kicked by a horse; otherwise, how could he do such things? It’s like courting death.

Seeing these playful smiles, Lin Yi smiled back at them, then spoke to the old man in a relaxed manner:

"Heh heh, you’re actually quite courageous, old man; it seems you have some guts. Since you agreed, let’s play a small game — a hand-slap challenge with a naked blade. Do you dare?"

The sentence piqued the old man’s interest, but he was puzzled by the game, not knowing what it entailed, so he asked directly:

"Boy, don’t play tricks, explain the rules straightforwardly. There’s nothing I don’t dare play."

Lin Yi nodded directly:

"Alright, let me explain the game rules.

We’ll find a real dagger, place it upright on the table, then cover it with ten covers.

We’ll close our eyes and let them shuffle the order randomly, then we take turns slapping down. Let’s see who’s unlucky enough to hit the cover with the dagger.

Did you understand?"

Though Lin Yi’s explanation was simple, it was very straightforward. As soon as the old man thought it through, he understood Lin Yi’s meaning.

It’s a game of courage and luck; if played as Lin Yi suggests, if someone is unlucky, their hand would likely be ruined.

He truly didn’t expect the person before him to be so bold, daring to propose such a challenge to him, risking his own hand for such a game.

However, though the opponent dared to play, he truly didn’t dare to himself. If his hand were injured, how could he command the battle?

If his hand were crippled, how would he draw a bow or shoot an arrow?

How would he wield that long sword?

But now, having spoken to this point and made their stance clear, if he retracted now, he’d truly lose face.

For a moment, he felt quite distressed, but because of pride, he couldn’t admit he didn’t dare to play.

So, he just frowned, pretending to ponder the meaning of Lin Yi’s words.

Moreover, while he was thinking, he turned aside and silently winked at one of his subordinates.

The gesture clearly signaled the other to come up with a solution or to step in to take over the game.

However, when the deputy saw the old man wink at him, his heart sank, and he silently cursed the old man.

This scheming old fox, too insidious! Not daring to play himself, he actually wants me to play for him."
