Meeting the Detective! Lin Yu's Commission!

Zhengcheng, Speedy Internet Cafe.

Fu Luo sat in the waiting area of the internet cafe, wearing a silly and ridiculous duck hat. Looking at the ordinary-looking young man in front of him, he felt that the other party looked vaguely familiar.

Although the other person's face was mostly covered by a mask, it seemed like I'd seen them somewhere before.

But upon closer reflection, it seems the other person just has an ordinary, generic face.

"You're the client who came to see me, right?"

Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"That's right, esteemed Detective, I need to ask you to find someone."

"Looking for someone," Fu Luo said thoughtfully. "My fee will likely vary depending on the difficulty – I need to hear who you're looking for before I can decide."

"He is a Player in a 'Death game'."

Lin Yu said calmly.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Fu Luo was slightly shocked.

"You're Player too?"

"Of course," Lin Yu sighed, revealing his "identity", "I mean, 'Sherlock,' as someone you know who went through the same Instance together, aren't there any special offers or discounts?"

As Lin Yu spoke, he slightly pulled his mask down.

He adjusted the details of his facial features, making it difficult for Fu Luo, also known as Sherlock, to immediately recognize that Lin Yu was "May".

But once prompted, Fu Luo was able to quickly ignore the small details that Lin Yu had adjusted, match the face with the one in his Memory that was very similar, and subconsciously correct his Memory in the opposite direction.

This was also Lin Yu's goal.

"You're 'May'?!"

Fu Luo spoke with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Yes, we meet again, great Detective."

Lin Yu said with a smile.

He could feel that he had regained the ability to be a "Doctor".

The abilities of each Profession will still be effective in reality, but it seems that for the sake of "balance", the effects and cooldown times will be adjusted.

In reality, the "Doctor's" abilities are weakened; the skill cooldown time is extended to three days.

Fu Luo looked at Lin Yu, sizing him up before speaking.

"Oh dear, really—why bother coming all the way to me in person!"

"Why don't you just contact me through the forum?"

Hearing Fu Luo's words, Lin Yu chuckled and said, "I came to Zhengcheng to find someone, and after I arrived, I remembered that you seem to be from Zhengcheng as well. Considering how high-profile you are... I inquired about you."

"I didn't expect to actually find you."

Fu Luo nodded smugly. "That's right, I'm quite well-known in Zhengcheng..."

"Since you were the one who found me, I was able to clear the last Instance smoothly and even get the [Unraveling the Clues] reward, which wouldn't have been possible without your help."

"So... who are you looking for? I'll help you for free!"

Lin Yu shook his head. "You should still charge me, because the person I need to find is more troublesome than you think."

It was the "Heavenly Artisan" of the "Marauders."

Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, which surprised Fu Luo.

"Heavenly Artisan"?

He blinked rapidly twice, trying to recall.

"Oh, I remember now, that 'craftsman' who killed five people, Tier 1 —with an 8,000-point bounty on his head from 'Order'."

"He's one of the highest-ranking wanted individuals among those at the first Tier 1!"

Fu Luo spoke, he sighed, "This person... is indeed very dangerous."

Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo: "Yes, he's the one I'm looking for, so... you should accept some."

"You went for the bounty?"

Fu Luo said with a certain keen insight.

"Hmm, you could say that," Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "If you want to get involved directly, that would be best—if you're willing to help me, I can give you one-tenth of the score after it's done."

He said earnestly.

This price is quite reasonable.

After all, Lin Yu couldn't possibly let Fu Luo be on the front lines.

Fu Luo hesitated upon hearing this.

"Well, as you know, I already have some issues with the 'Psychology Society,' and if I provoke the 'Marauders' as well..."

He spoke hesitantly, and Lin Yu looked at him and laughed.

"I'm not asking maliciously, but which do you think poses a greater threat to you, me or the 'Marauders'?"

Fu Luo didn't answer Lin Yu's question, but changed his tune without changing his expression. "If we get involved with the 'Marauders' again, it'll just be adding more debts to our already heavy burden, so I'll take this job!"

"But—I want 20%!"

Fu Luo held up two fingers.

"No problem, no matter how much I end up with, I'll give you 20%."

Lin Yu agreed without hesitation.

"So, how about you help me investigate 'Heavenly Artisan'?"

Fu Luo nodded. "Of course."

"How quickly can we get results? Can we find him before the next Instance starts?"

Lin Yu asked, Fu Luo laughed.

"Of course, my speed is beyond your imagination."

With that, Fu Luo took out his phone, fiddled with it for a while, and about five minutes later, Fu Luo looked up at Lin Yu: "All done! May! Let's go!"

Where to?

Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo, somewhat bewildered.

Fu Luo said matter-of-factly, "Of course we're going to find Heavenly Artisan. Didn't you want to take him down?"

Lin Yu was even more bewildered. "You found him in five minutes?!"

Fu Luo grinned smugly. "Didn't expect that, did you? I'm just that awesome."

Lin Yu looked at the smug Fu Luo, a hint of wariness appearing on his face. "You wouldn't happen to be one of the 'Marauders,' would you? Are you deliberately leading me into a trap?"

Fu Luo originally wanted to boast a little more.

However, seeing the wary and cold expression on Lin Yu's face, Fu Luo recalled the Doctor's quirks in the previous Instance and some of the encounters he had experienced before, and couldn't help but cough twice before giving a serious explanation.

"Ahem, it's just that I've run into some things lately, to the point that I've started investigating these guys myself."

"I've been keeping a close eye on those who have been active in Yu Province recently, those who have been featured on forums with large bounties or on 'Hunter Society' lists."

"The 'Heavenly Artisan' you mentioned happens to be someone I've been keeping an eye on."

Fu Luo explained.

Lin Yu nodded slightly. "You're also short on points, and you want to investigate these things?"

Faced with Lin Yu's casual question, Fu Luo seemed somewhat resistant. He grimaced and rubbed one side of his cheek, as if recalling some unpleasant Memory.

"Well... it really is something we're missing!"

"Let's hurry up and set off, or 'Heavenly Artisan' will have to move on to another location!"

Fu Luo spoke, Lin Yu nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

"But where exactly is he?"

Fu Luo took out his phone. "This guy used to be a junior manager at a construction company in real life, but he quit his job after joining the 'Death game'."

"Right now, he should be in that area of the most notorious unfinished buildings in the southern part of Zhengcheng. Heavenly Artisan spends most of his time there—that's also a project their company is in charge of."
