Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1073 - 1033: Let Me Place It

At the same time, for some reason, images of his hand being pierced through by the dagger kept popping into his mind.

Once these images appeared in his mind, they were impossible to remove. He seemed to have seen himself slap down on it, getting pierced through directly, leaving his hand bloodied.

Even though the game hadn’t started yet, and the items weren’t ready, this guy’s mind was already filled with such images,

which was enough to show how fearsome his inner fears were, how frightened he was of this happening.

Seeing the fear on the other’s face, Lin Yi couldn’t help but snort coldly in his heart.

It seems the TV dramas aren’t all true. Who says ancient generals are all valiant and heroic? Isn’t there cowardice among them? What a joke, who in any era isn’t afraid of death?

That’s nothing more than some beautified stuff.

"Kid, you can’t be the one to place the dagger. If you do, wouldn’t you know which ones contain the dagger and which don’t?

That’s not fair. How about I place it and let you choose first; that way, it’s fair, right?"

Unexpectedly, this guy finally couldn’t hold on. Seeing Lin Yi’s hand reaching for the dagger, he suddenly spoke up with these words.

But after he said this, Lin Yi looked at him as if he were an idiot, how could he have the nerve to say such things?

Letting him place the dagger would mean he knows its location, wouldn’t it?

Letting himself choose first just means all the risk falls on him, doesn’t it?

Well, if my luck is bad, I might hit the dagger on the first or few tries, but if my luck is good, it might be the last time I do. Overall, all the risk is on me, this ancient guy isn’t dumb!

Seeing Lin Yi’s idiot-like gaze, the General was quite embarrassed.

His little scheme was evidently seen through by this guy, and he cursed Lin Yi several times in his mind.

"If you don’t trust me, you can let them do it.

That way, neither you nor I handle it. Surely that’s acceptable?"

These words were already quite clear, he kept thinking, these people pushed him out, that can’t be helped, but at least if they place the dagger, they’d surely give him some hints.

If he indeed chooses wrongly, surely they’d hint for a change, maybe subtly wink, and he’d know.

This way, the risk of hitting the dagger himself could be greatly reduced, right?

But he also knew, perhaps Lin Yi wouldn’t agree to such a request, as it wouldn’t be fair to him.

But to his surprise, after he finished speaking, Lin Yi didn’t think much but directly nodded and agreed to the request:

"Haha. Normally I shouldn’t agree to this request, given that it greatly increases the chance of collusion among you.

But I’m quite daring; I believe my luck is good enough that even if you collude, I won’t fear you.

So since you said let them place it, just let them do it."

After saying this, he tossed the dagger onto the table with a clang.

Then he looked playfully at the crowd in the room, also waiting for them to place the dagger.

Upon seeing Lin Yi’s actions, the old man’s heart suddenly leaped with joy, surprised that this fool actually agreed.

Did that mean he already had the game in his hands?

If he’d known earlier, he’d have done it directly, let his men place the dagger, could he still hit it?

For a moment, he somewhat regretted, as his subordinate snatched the limelight, impacting his prestige to some extent.

But changing it now was clearly unsuitable.

Hence, he simply dismissed the thought and walked over boldly, directly saying:

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle this, I’ve always been fair, won’t collude as you said.

A true man dares to take action, if you’re eager to play this game, let’s make it real. Come, I’ll personally set the dagger for you."

Regarding the old man’s assurance, Lin Yi directly snorted; fair my foot, he wouldn’t even dare participate, clearly very sinister.

With you? Anyone would be better!

Although thinking this in his heart, Lin Yi just smiled, shook his head, and said nothing, turning to face the other way.

As for why he wasn’t worried about the old man attacking from behind, Lin Yi had confidence in his safety, capable of dodging and counter-attacking the moment the opponent made a move.

He had that assurance, especially since there was a layer of soft armor under his clothes, which couldn’t be easily cut by the dagger.

As for the areas not protected, he could guarantee 100% that the Iron Man Armor would activate the instant the dagger touched, protecting those places.

This was the Iron Man Armor System’s automatic operation, much faster than human reaction speed.

Of course, let’s not discuss that now, just focus on the current situation in the room.

Seeing the old man directly pick up the dagger and place it on the table, while the named Deputy Wu also turned around with Lin Yi, meaning he was also facing away from the table.

Because of this, though both heard the dagger fall on the table, they couldn’t determine its precise position.

Presently, the old man was evidently hesitant.

He kept pondering where to place the dagger to ensure his people win.

Or perhaps,
