Lin Yu, a helpless little orphan, of course needs to be cautious in everything he sees at such a banquet.
However, Lin Yu, a powerful Knight of Destiny and an elite of the Apocalis clan, is indeed like what you said, there is no need to care too much about other people's feelings.
I should eat and drink, and if someone thinks I'm a country bumpkin with no manners - it's none of my business what they think.
I just need to do what I should do. It is obviously not my style to waste time on actively chatting with these people.
[You don’t communicate with them, and you work hard to climb up...]
Will it collapse?
Lin Yu is a vengeful ghost who chooses to work hard to climb up in order to avenge Honkai.
My personality when I go out is that of a reckless young man who doesn't care about his life.
It is a strange behavior in itself to expect this kind of revengeful young man to actively please people who may not need to be pleased.
Although I don’t like acting, I think I’ll have to perform this play for a few more years.
In this case, I naturally have to take the initiative to get into the role and play the role of a "vengeful ghost" in my eyes.
My words may be enough to fool those young girls who are ignorant of the ways of the world, but among the people present now, except for those Valkyries, the remaining branch chiefs and parliament members are all old foxes who have stepped on other people's heads along the way.
Even if I don't reveal my flaws, I will be tired if I talk to them too much.
It’s better to act cool now, so you can avoid a lot of trouble.
[…Is there such a way of thinking? ]
[Okay, this system has to admit that your idea does make sense.]
[Hmm, wait, no, why did some of them actually start to think like this - you used the Slide Lantern barrier just for such a small matter? ]
What a joke, why would I use such a dangerous power as the Slide Lantern Barrier for something so boring?
These people are all smart people, and smart people always trust their own judgments more.
Knowing this, I could basically guess the direction they were going to take. I just chose the one that was most advantageous to me and started to act.
[Wow, your scheming is a bit scary. ]
Please call this the wisdom of survival.
After he had this idea in mind, he looked at Lin Yu less and less.
The third-rate plot of "everyone laughs at Lin Yu for being too unsophisticated" did not even appear.
After all, among the people present, except for a very small number of young people who were thrown here by the big brothers in the tribe to socialize, most of them came with their brains.
Lin Yu is very popular now, and he is also the warrior promoted by Bishop Otto himself. Anyone who messes with him will be messing with Bishop Otto.
To make trouble with Bishop Otto - isn't that courting death?
Moreover, even if we put aside Bishop Otto's recommendation, Theresa, as the head of the three royal families of Tianming, is also optimistic about Lin Yu.
In addition, Lin Yu’s sworn sister Rita and his close friend Yulan Dell, with whom he has lived for a long time, are also S-level Valkyries.
Now that Lin Yu has defeated Chi You, he obviously has S-level strength. The only thing he lacks is the certification from the Tianming Headquarters.
As long as you use your brain a little, you will find that Lin Yu has three close S-level people around him, and he himself also has S-level strength.
At a time like this - who would have nothing to do but mock a young man with a bright future?
Maybe something happens to the branch in the future, and Lin Yu will need to come to rescue.
Now you have made him unhappy or embarrassed. If the young people get angry and quarrel with you, which leads to some bad things happening, they will have nowhere to cry.
It was precisely because of these reasons that after Lin Yu exuded the aura of "I'm not interested in you all", it became much quieter around him.
If you make friends with Lin Yu, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future.
Now, the other party doesn't want to pay attention to them, so it's better not to offend him.
However, most old foxes with brains understand this, but that doesn’t mean everyone understands this.
At this moment, a member of the Shaniyat clan frowned when he saw a man approaching Lin Yu.
At the same time, Lin Yu, who heard the footsteps, could only put down the plate in his hand and look in the direction where the footsteps came from.
In front of him, a girl with chestnut hair who seemed to be pretending to be calm, stopped awkwardly in front of Lin Yu, as if she couldn't make up her mind.
This...ah, it's this guy.
The real Husky appeared.
Looking at the chestnut-haired, very uneasy girl in front of him, Lin Yu did not speak, but waited quietly for her to speak.
Under Lin Yu's cold gaze, the girl named Anna Shaniyat seemed to have mustered up her courage and spoke loudly to Lin Yu.
"Mr. Lin Yu, my name is Anna Shanyat! I have admired you for a long time. Excuse me, can you dance with me?"
Faced with the girl who was trying hard to say this, Lin Yu didn't know what to say.
There is not much description of Anna in the original novel, but the fact that she blushes after talking to Chen Tianwu for a few words is enough to show that she is a girl who is easily shy.
Would a shy girl take the initiative to walk up to Lin Yu and say these words to him loudly?
[The answer is obviously yes, you immediately made this judgment. After all, the power of love can make people overcome all obstacles! ]
「She has mustered up the courage to change herself for you. You should seize this opportunity and take her down. Then──」
And then you ghost.
She suddenly mustered up the courage after seeing me, which was obviously impossible.
The little girl's body is now visibly shaking and tense, which is obviously a sign of nervousness...even fear.
She definitely didn't come here voluntarily; someone had instigated her to take action before the ball.
【so? 】
So, of course I have to...
At this moment, Lin Yu made a move that few people had guessed.
After wiping his hands gently with a handkerchief, Lin Yu took Anna's hand very gentlemanly and smiled at her.
"It is my honor to dance with this beautiful lady."
"Since Miss Anna has invited me, why should I refuse?"
Anna, who was originally very uneasy, suddenly felt completely relieved after Lin Yu made this move.
To be honest, Lin Yu's actions were not even ordinary. In his eyes, this kind of exaggerated attitude could only be described as lame.
But the problem is...people only look at faces.
Lin Yu is already handsome enough, and with his cool and handsome personality, his charm to the opposite sex will be further enhanced.
In addition, Anna was a little uneasy to begin with, and Lin Yu, who had just given off a "no strangers allowed" vibe, actually smiled at her at this moment.
crit.
There is no doubt that this was a critical hit.
Although it is not enough to make the girl fall in love with him at first sight, it is not difficult to make Anna feel at ease and have some affection for Lin Yu.
[Occasionally this system will have some small doubts. You——are not really an expert at picking up girls. 】
A system as powerful as yours must know how tragic my past was.
Don’t you have any idea whether I’m a master at picking up girls or not?
[Originally there was, but now... it's hard to say. ]
And to be honest, why do you think I'm trying to pick up girls?
Anna is the body chosen by Prometheus. In other words, even if she does not encounter the Manila incident in the future, she will transform into a Herrscher in other events.
If I reject the invitation that she has finally mustered up the courage to make, it will leave a thorn in her heart.
Although my current actions will not completely prevent her from becoming a Herrscher in the future, being nice to the girl can at least prevent her from becoming more radical.
Everything I do now is to prevent myself from encountering more dangers in the future.
[Haha, that's true, but you know it very well in your heart...]
[Others never know your true thoughts, they only judge you based on your actions outside. ]
[So now, you can be sure that the girl named Anna Shaniyate has developed a crush on you.]
Let it happen. If this can be an opportunity for her to suppress her Herrscher personality...
It’s okay for me to continue to be a liar and an actor.
At this time, Anna, who was held by Lin Yu on the right hand, felt that she was indeed a lot more at ease than before.
Anna, who was forced to approach Lin Yu for some reasons, only discovered at this moment that the young man in front of her was surprisingly easy to talk to.
"Okay, now..."
After reaching the destination, Lin Yu did not let go of her hand. Instead, he pulled up the other person's right hand and gently placed his right hand on Anna's smooth back.
"Please dance with me, Miss Anna."
"I understand, Mr. Lin Yu."
It was obviously the first time for Anna to come into contact with a member of the opposite sex of the same age other than her brothers in the clan, but Anna, who should have been shy, felt more relaxed than ever in front of Lin Yu.
Perhaps it was because of the sense of security that Lin Yu brought her that made her display a completely different attitude than usual.
During the dance, Lin Yu took the initiative to activate Mingjing Zhishui and began to observe the dance steps of other people around him.
Relying on his ability to be as calm as a mirror and as still as water, Lin Yu, who was originally just a layman, was able to dance like a veteran dancer by observing the actions of other people around him.
Anna, who was in front of Lin Yu, also followed Lin Yu's dance steps and began to look at Lin Yu.
Obviously, the other person's eyes were like still water, giving Anna a sense of tranquility.
But just by looking at each other, Anna felt that her heartbeat was accelerating.
If she hadn't tried hard to control her emotions, she would have even felt that she would have run away from the other person with a red face because of excessive shyness.
When the dance ended, Anna was even distracted and tried to continue dancing with Lin Yu.
"Hey, I..."
It was not until she saw the men and women around her had separated from them that she realized that she...
——I actually felt a little reluctant when the dance ended.
Looking at the girl in front of him who suddenly started to panic again for some reason, Lin Yu did not let go of Anna's hand at this time, but held Anna's hand very forcefully and chose to walk towards the corridor where few people stopped.
"Hey, Mr. Lin Yu, you..."
"Well, Miss Anna, I know you came to me for more than just dancing."
Lin Yu walked to the corridor with Anna in his hand. After exhaling a breath of foul air, he leaned casually on the railing and looked at the ceiling above his head.
"I can see that you were probably instructed or even forced to come here by someone."
"Tell me, who forced you to do such a boring thing?"
.........
Chapter 125. Get your position clear, cool guy
"Tell me, who forced you to do such a boring thing?"
After hearing what Lin Yu said, the first thing that came to Anna's mind was endless helplessness.
She didn't want to say anything more, but now that she was relaxed, Anna didn't have much vigilance and almost disappeared in front of Lin Yu.
The girl had completely let down her guard and made a decision after hesitating for just one second.
"I'm telling you this in secret, don't tell anyone else."
[Looking at the girl's completely relaxed demeanor at this moment, you are certain that her trust in you has surpassed that of most people in the world.]
[You have only met for five minutes, and you have never had any interaction before. If your favorability is so high in just five minutes, then I'm sure if you show off your skills a little bit, she will -]
You're a ghost.
