Lin Xu began to have some doubts about the relationship between Chen Shaojie and Huang Jinluyi.
He had already investigated Chen Shaojie's influence.
If this noble young master can assemble a powerful military force and slaughter civilians everywhere, then Lin Xu knows that this young master is capable of doing it.
But Lin Xu simply didn't believe that Chen Shaojie could trigger a series of golden relics and that the rewards from those relics could be used to steal authority.
The forces involved with Chen Shaojie are likely far from capable of achieving this.
Lin Xu fell into deep thought.
He had realized that there might be others behind Chen Shaojie.
In fact, it wasn't just one person involved; it's possible that many nobles were involved.
Only a united noble family could create such a huge uproar during the early stages of the game.
However, Lin Xu realized that the origin and cause of this matter were not important.
The important thing is that he has now discovered the secret of this ruin, and how can he get his share of the spoils?
Or even, to extract all the spoils from the ruins?
The light in Lin Xu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and all sorts of thoughts began to surface in his mind.
After a long while, Lin Xu's eyes flashed, and he came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, but his eyes were unusually bright.
He already had a rough idea in his mind: he could use the resources at hand to do some things that were possible.
However, before taking the first step in doing these things, just as planned, we still needed to test Chen Shaojie and get him to reveal more information.
With that in mind, Lin Xu opened the regional channel.
To be honest, he has some friends now, but also quite a few enemies.
This includes Chen Shaojie and his associates, the company employees they had offended before, and Xiao Xing and his related nobles who had not yet shown their faces.
In addition, those civilian elites who have received the school district head's bounty will also try to kill him if they discover his whereabouts, in order to obtain the bounty from the school district head.
However, the complexity of these enemy forces and their differing motives gave Lin Xu a glimmer of opportunity.
He found that he could seemingly use the different forces of these enemies to make some interesting indirections.
For example, he could reveal some of the secrets of the Golden Ruins now, and then use himself as bait to lure more people to search for the Golden Ruins.
If this works, Chen Shaojie and his group will be in for a real headache.
As Lin Xu thought this, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.
Then he opened the regional channel and posted a series of messages:
[I am Lin Xu, the top-ranked student in this school district.]
[I have discovered ruins inhabited by golden soldiers, which hold a great secret. Any island lord who discovers these ruins, please inform me. I will rush there as soon as possible and offer a reward to anyone who provides information.]
After sending the message, Lin Xu kept an eye on the regional channel.
Although there are many people chatting in the area now, his name alone should attract a lot of attention.
After all, there must be quite a few commoner island owners like that round-faced island owner who were lured by the bounty offered by the school district head.
Those people will definitely react if they see the name Lin Xu.
Sure enough, people started responding quickly after Lin Xu sent the message.
[Lin Xu? You really are Lin Xu? What are your coordinates? I've discovered this so-called golden ruin. Tell me where you are, and I'll come pick you up right now!]
"Is it really Lin Xu? You've discovered a special ruin? Let's work together then! Once we're joined forces, we can explore this ruin!"
Many people reacted to the news about Lin Xu.
But just as Lin Xu had expected, most of these people didn't notice the golden ruins; instead, they were more eager to know Lin Xu's location.
Lin Xu's lips curled up, and he sent another message:
[Anyone who finds the Golden Ruins, send me a screenshot so I can verify its authenticity. Those trying to take advantage of the situation, please don't bother. I can tell you, these Golden Ruins are scattered throughout this newbie area; they shouldn't be hard to find. But the ruins are connected to a huge secret. If you obtain it, changing your fate will be no problem, but if you don't have that kind of luck, please don't bother me.]
Lin Xu's remarks disappointed many people.
Many people who wanted to hunt Lin Xu were planning to trick him into revealing his coordinates so they could then go and kill him.
But Lin Xu now insists on photos of the ruins, so where are they going to find them?
However, some people suddenly realized that Lin Xu said these golden relics were easy to find, so if they just went to the perimeter of the relics and took a picture of them, wouldn't that lure Lin Xu out?
These people all had this idea, and they all started making inquiries, wanting to know about the Golden Ruins.
Some people, however, were drawn to the golden ruins themselves and became interested in the chance to defy fate.
Although many people believe that such a major secret would not be revealed by ordinary people, and that it would be too difficult for ordinary people to explore precious relics, making it almost impossible for them to succeed.
But some people still have a gambler's mentality, thinking that if such a relic really exists, and they can actually crack it and get a reward by accident, wouldn't that be awesome?
So these people also began to pay attention to the golden ruins and inquire about the news everywhere.
Because the district head has considerable influence among the common people, many want to hunt down Lin Xu, so the message Lin Xu sent out is spreading rapidly.
Before long, the entire chat room was discussing this matter.
Lin Xu watched as the situation began to descend into chaos and a faint smile appeared on his face:
"Can Chen Shaojie still remain calm now?"
While Lin Xu was laughing, in a certain void in the newbie area, Chen Shaojie was roaring loudly.
"That damned Lin Xu! How could he just release such a crucial secret like that! If those foolish civilians find out about the Golden Ruins, some of them will definitely risk exploring them! Our plans will definitely be jeopardized!"
Chen Shaojie was grabbing an expensive suit of armor and slamming it up and down, venting his rage.
But the more he vented, the angrier he became.
Lin Xu had caused him too many setbacks and blows, and now even his most important plan was being interfered with by Lin Xu. Chen Shaojie had lost his composure.
After a moment of fury, Chen Shaojie finally lost his temper and opened the system interface, starting to speak in the regional channel:
【I am Chen Shaojie of the Chen family! The matter of the Golden Ruins is not something you commoners can inquire about. Anyone who attempts to explore the Golden Ruins is opposing the Chen family. If you dare to make any rash moves, don't blame me for being impolite!】
【I, Chen Shaojie, hereby declare that discussion of the Golden Ruins is prohibited! Furthermore, civilians are forbidden from exploring these ruins in private!】
After making these remarks, Chen Shaojie felt a sense of satisfaction after venting his frustrations.
He looked smugly at the chat channel, thinking that with his authority, those foolish civilians wouldn't dare to disturb him anymore.
However, after Chen Shaojie spoke, not only did Lin Xu burst out laughing, but the entire chat area also erupted in excitement.
The story of the golden ruins is actually true!
[Chen Shaojie has already admitted to the existence of the golden ruins. This newbie trial really does involve such a secret ruin!]
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Brothers, let's start searching for ruins right now!
[Yeah, everyone, let's go!]
