Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1071 - 1031: Demonstration

Have to admit, right at this moment, this guy is inwardly cursing his old General thoroughly.

This old fellow is truly cunning enough, clearly he’s scared, yet he dare not say it, and he acts tough, even demands his subordinates to step up, really all for face that results in actual suffering,

and successfully shifted these conflicts onto his subordinates. For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but start glancing sideways, afraid the old fellow might call them by name directly.

Just from the words Lin Yi said earlier, they already fully understood what kind of game is being played, and they started cursing him in their hearts, believing this kid is truly cunning.

Dare to play such risky games, dare to partake in such a gamble, this is betting with one’s palm.

Who would be foolish enough to agree to such terms directly?

And now, it’s clear that this old man has been cornered by Lin Yi, and the words he spoke earlier put him in a place where he can’t advance or retreat, forced to steel himself and face it.

All he can do now is shift this conflict onto his subordinates. If someone steps up and says they’ll do it for him, then this old fellow would definitely welcome the relief, which would be the best plan.

Of course, no one is a fool, who would do such a thing?

Who would sacrifice their palm to salvage the situation for someone else?

Moreover, everyone has their own calculations in their hearts; if this old codger meets some mishap, the next General position might transfer to them, and with the group leaderless, perhaps they’d have a chance to step up.

And when the old man noticed his signaling went unnoticed, his heart was filled with anger, and he cursed his subordinates inwardly.

A bunch of useless beings, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them in a moment; now is the time to use people, you are needed, yet each of you plays turtle, leaving the old man infuriated.

He genuinely wished he could drag one over, force them to bet with Lin Yi, but clearly, doing so would leave him with no dignity.

He wanted to be deceitful and refuse to acknowledge, but for the sake of face, he couldn’t just do that.

Upon seeing the opponent hesitating, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

That laugh instantly left the faces of everyone opposite pale and uncomfortable.

They wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Just moments ago, the old man was bragging loudly, claiming to do whatever comes up, but now he’s withdrawn, embarrassed to face, which really turned into a slap in the face, and it hurt.

Although the old fellow was filled with resentment, he didn’t show it on his face, still maintaining an appearance of deliberation, as if contemplating the true purpose behind Lin Yi’s words.

"Hehe, isn’t it clear enough what I said? Has the old gentleman not heard clearly? Do you need me to explain it again?"

Indeed, at such an age now, surely the ears aren’t working well?

Alright, if push comes to shove, I’ll give you a demonstration."

Saying this, Lin Yi reached into his chest, after a brief search, suddenly a dagger gleaming with a cold light appeared in his hand. Then he reached in again, rummaging around, a stack of yellow paper bags typically used for packaging takeout appeared in his hand too.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone with various motives, Lin Yi placed that dagger on the table’s center, upright with the tip pointing up.

Like this, under everyone’s scrutiny, after raising it upright, he used a paper bag to cover it completely.

These paper bags are raw pulp in color, impossible to see whether there’s a dagger inside.

Moreover, after placing one paper bag over the dagger, he placed another two bullet props on adjacent spots, covering them equally.

Looking at it now, one couldn’t differentiate by eyesight where the dagger is.

Of course, they saw Lin Yi put the dagger in, making them aware the middle one contains the dagger.

After all this, Lin Yi looked back at the crowd, then beckoned to the old General with his fingers, saying:

"Look closely, old man, what we are going to do next is use our hands to press on these items.

I press one, you press one, then I press again, then you again; whoever is unlucky enough to land on the dagger can only accept their fate.

And if someone presses on the dagger, it means you lose, then you must agree to a condition of mine. Dare to play?"

Saying this, Lin Yi reached out a palm, slapped the paper bag beside flat on the table, instantly flattening it with a slap, one that startled everyone watching.

In their hearts, a collective thump echoed, even knowing Lin Yi picked the one without a dagger, the move still frightened them.

The feeling is truly too thrilling, even more than charging into battle, the fear from deep inside left them uncertain.

They could never imagine such a game exists, such a terrifying game.

Just in this atmosphere, Lin Yi’s voice gingerly arose:

"Certainly, to bet is naturally mutual in the need for stakes. If you lose, then you do what I say; but if I lose, I’ll let you decide on my life, how about it? Fair enough?"

For a moment, everyone stood there in silence, none daring to speak, afraid they’d be sent up to participate in the game.

However, when they saw Lin Yi’s sharp gaze fixed on the old General, their hearts filled with delight.

Seems this kid isn’t targeting them after all, only the old General.

Hehe, better the fellow dies than the skilled monk. Such circumstances couldn’t be better.

As long as they aren’t chosen, anyone can go.
