Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God
Chapter 304: The Function of the Item
"My phone!"
Lin Yu stared at the glass panel that had absorbed his phone and instinctively cried out in shock.
Even though Lin Yu now owned many phones and had enough savings to buy plenty of high-end flagship models.
After all, all this had only happened in just over a month, and Lin Yu hadn't gotten used to it yet.
Seeing his phone disappear, Lin Yu's first reaction was still heartache.
"You'd better actually be useful after eating my phone."
He looked at the transparent panel in his hand, gritted his teeth, and began examining the new changes in this panel.
Like other [Items]...
This thing called [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin] had a soul connection with Lin Yu.
So when Lin Yu focused his senses, he seemed to feel that this previously functionless panel had developed some new capabilities.
With a thought from him, the transparent panel flashed with a strong, cyber-style ghostly blue light, then transformed into Lin Yu's original phone.
"Is this what it means?"
Lin Yu was somewhat stunned, then began testing it.
This phone could still function normally.
After seeing this, Lin Yu thought for a moment, then took out several other phones and tablets.
Then, he placed them next to the transparent panel...
The [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin], just like before, absorbed these electronic devices too!
And next, just as Lin Yu had anticipated...
With just a thought from him, this item could transform into the appearance of any electronic device it had consumed and function normally!
It could even maintain one device's appearance while replacing the content with that from another phone.
In other words...
Lin Yu could now hold 'Zhu Ming's' phone while viewing content from 'May May's' or "other people's" phones.
He could even view them simultaneously—this item could project content from any electronic device directly onto Lin Yu's retina, visible only to him.
"Senior really is quite generous."
Lin Yu let out a breath.
This perfectly solved his trouble of needing to carry multiple phones, allowing him to travel light from now on.
But...
This didn't make Lin Yu feel relaxed;
instead, it made him feel some pressure.
How did Shen Bingmiao know he needed this?
Could she have noticed something?
And Lin Yu couldn't easily go ask Shen Bingmiao for confirmation!
After all...
What if Shen Bingmiao just gave it to him because it looked like a phone and she happened to have it on hand?
Or perhaps...
Shen Bingmiao only had some suspicions.
If he went to ask, wouldn't that just expose himself?
So after careful consideration, Lin Yu decided to maintain his current position.
Even if he wanted to test Shen Bingmiao, he absolutely couldn't do it right now—that would be no different from walking into a trap.
Lin Yu felt that at least Shen Bingmiao wouldn't harm him.
He decided to continue testing this [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin].
All electronic devices had been fed to it...
Now it was naturally time for [Items].
Lin Yu thought for a moment, then took out the [Multi-function Screwdriver].
This was equipment he obtained from killing 'Heavenly Artisan'.
[Multi-function Screwdriver: As you can see, it has the functions a screwdriver should have. Simultaneously, it can also be a back scratcher, ear pick, nail clipper, and microphone.]
Although it seemed quite practical, Lin Yu hadn't found a use for it so far.
So...
If he had to sacrifice an item now, Lin Yu felt this one was quite suitable.
Moreover, its quality didn't seem particularly high.
Although the [Death Game] only had simple classifications for [Items]—[non-exclusive item], [Class Item], [Exclusive Item]—without any quality grading...
Based on whether they had "descriptions" and "notes," and whether they looked mass-produced and their functions, you could still roughly determine their levels.
If this [Multi-function Screwdriver] had quality classification, it would absolutely be the most common white-quality item.
Lin Yu picked up this thing and placed it next to the [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin].
But this time, the panel didn't generate the strong, powerful attraction it had with electronic devices.
Only when Lin Yu actively made them contact each other and generated the thought of "devour" did the [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin] swallow the [Multi-function Screwdriver].
Then...
The entire transparent panel flashed with pale golden light.
A line of golden text appeared on the transparent panel: "Charging completed: 0.02%... Please continue charging."
Then it returned to silence.
Lin Yu stared at it, momentarily stunned, then exclaimed about being cheated.
"It just flashes one line of text after eating a screwdriver item? Is it really this scammy?"
"And it only charged 0.02%... I'd need to feed you 5,000 more screwdrivers to complete the charging."
"This thing won't even tell me what happens after charging is complete."
Lin Yu helplessly held his forehead.
He now somewhat felt like he'd thrown meat buns at a dog—gone forever.
But fortunately, he'd fed it the [Multi-function Screwdriver], so he didn't feel particularly heartbroken.
Saying he felt no heartache at all would be a lie—after all, this item could probably still sell for a few dozen points at a "gathering."
Of course, the good thing was that this screwdriver most likely couldn't actually be sold.
After all, it was 'Heavenly Artisan's' item... If someone from the [Marauders] who was familiar with him, like 'Almond' or others, had seen this [Item], that would be troublesome.
"So, in the future, can I handle items I can't use and aren't easy to sell this way..."
Lin Yu stroked his chin as he contemplated.
Although he felt such opportunities wouldn't be particularly frequent.
After all, Lin Yu had too many identities. If a certain [Item] became deeply bound with a specific identity, it would be difficult for other identities to use it.
So in the future, he might still need to equip different identities with various [Items] for use.
Currently, the [Items] he had on hand weren't even enough for his needs!
"I'll ask Senior next time I get the chance, though I have a feeling she probably won't tell me either."
Lin Yu thought this as he transformed the transparent panel into his phone's appearance, then sent a message to Shen Bingmiao.
"Thank you, Senior, the phone works very well."
No matter what...
After absorbing those electronic devices, it had indeed provided very practical functionality.
Lin Yu put away the panel, then returned to sit at his desk.
Even though Senior's gift had truly surprised Lin Yu, studying still needed to be done.
Or rather...
Precisely because Senior had given him such a valuable gift, Lin Yu felt he should study even harder.
Although he didn't think he would fail any courses...
Lin Yu always felt he needed to do something, otherwise he would somewhat let down his Senior.
