The Rope-Tying Method, and Solitude with Robin
As the rope dangled, Lin Yu saw a menu fly into his hand.
The top features four different creatures drawn in simple cartoon style...
Seeing the pictures and descriptions on the menu, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you crazy...? Is this supposed to be a drawing method for introducing food ingredients?"
The four creatures depicted above are all drawn extremely cutely.
The name they chose sounds like a character from a children's cartoon.
As for the written descriptions, they are more like those in an early childhood education textbook.
"Hello everyone, my name is Cute Star. Although I look like a starfish, don't mistake me for one—I'm much tastier and much bigger than a starfish! But catching me won't be so easy; I'm quite a fast swimmer!"
"I'm Bubble Snail, and I love to leisurely drift around in my bubble—I have two layers of protection, a bubble and a shell, so catching me won't be easy!"
"My name is Flying Saucer Shrimp. Don't let my slow speed and lack of a hard shell fool you; we always travel in groups. If one shrimp is in trouble, a hundred will come to its aid! If you want to catch me, your Fishing Net will have to be strong enough!"
"Hello, I'm Transparent Fish... You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..."
Lin Yu frowned as he read through all the creature descriptions.
Is this an attempt to evoke one's childlike wonder and compassion, thus allowing these creatures to go free?
"Well, these should indeed be four of the easier creatures to deal with."
"The menu did indeed highlight each point to be aware of... one type is fast, one has a protective shell, one moves in groups... and another is hard to spot."
In short... try to start with these four methods!
Lin Yu folded up the menu and then looked at the rope hanging down in front of him.
Each person has one in front of them, which looks almost identical to the rope that hangs the chair behind them.
On the other side of the table, A'yu had also finished reading the ingredient descriptions on the "menu," and she also wore an expression of displeasure and disgust towards it.
"A bunch of gibberish."
A'yu commented, then grabbed the rope in front of her.
She stood up from the chair, wrapped her wrist around her left wrist, tied a sailor's knot, and then...
A'yu seemed to have successfully established a connection with the rope, and took a step back...
"Whoosh--!"
A'yu's figure disappeared from her seat, vanishing into the endless dark clouds.
Seeing A'yu's actions, Li Hua and Qianhuan both sighed.
"As expected of the 'Marauders'..."
"I'd heard it from my colleagues in Yanjing; this guy is notoriously brainless."
These two people from Sea City, one on the one-sided and the other on the other, simultaneously tied the rope around their waists in a tight knot.
Clearly, compared to A'yu's method of tying the hand to the wrist, their method is more stable and does not restrict the normal functioning of one hand.
However, Mosin-Nagant and Carrot, being the older two, were clearly more professional.
Mosin-Nagant threaded the rope under his armpits twice, looped it around here and there, and tied a knot here and there, actually turning the rope into a suspender style, which he used to fix his body in place.
Grandpa Carrot lifted his clothes and wrapped them around his body several times, tying a tight knot. Then he took out a bottle of glue-like substance and poured it on his skin. Soon, the rope stuck to his skin, as firmly as it could be.
The four of them left one after another.
For a moment, only "Robin" and Lin Yu remained on the field.
Lin Yu sat on the chair, holding the rope with one hand, and turned to look at Robin.
Robin's gaze met Lin Yu's.
An inexplicable sense of danger rose in Lin Yu's heart.
Looking at the "Painter" in front of him, he confirmed one thing once again.
This girl is powerful and dangerous...
He's definitely no less impressive than the "Fluoxetine" character he's currently portraying.
Moreover, she seemed quite interested in and knowledgeable about Fluoxetine.
This is why Lin Yu has lingered and not left.
Because after he finished speaking, he realized...
This segment might be one of the few opportunities he has to be alone with Robin within the Instance.
Although it's very likely to be discovered...
However, fortune favors the bold!
Lin Yu's initial goal was never to perfectly impersonate "Fluoxetine" and avoid being exposed; he simply wanted to obtain more information about Fluoxetine!
He was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity to gather information about Fluoxetine and the "Psychology Society" organization because of his own concerns.
Not to mention...
Lin Yu is also very confident in his acting skills.
Even when alone, even if the Robin in front of me is very familiar with Fluoxetine and is an extremely perceptive fellow.
The Painter's abilities are even more difficult to "Deception" than a "Detective's "—they are "Information type."
The creation of objects and Geometric Shapes using "sketching" is an advanced ability of the "Painter".
The fundamental ability of a "Painter" is "Information type".
"Draw an object; if the similarity exceeds 70%, you can learn its basic information. Cooldown time: 24 hours."
This is almost universally recognized as the most powerful intelligence "Profession"... so even though they are few in number, most large organizations will hire a Painter.
If any experts from other organizations acquire a new powerful Item, they'll immediately send someone to secretly film it and show it to their "Painter" so he can draw it out.
Moreover, the "Painter's" abilities are not limited to Game item... he can also detect non- Item objects.
Therefore, if Robin had dealt with Fluoxetine enough, she would likely know how to use most of the Fluoxetine Item.
But...
Lin Yu remained confident that he would not be discovered at all.
Rather, it is precisely because of Robin's ability as Painter that Lin Yu has even more confidence!
Seeing the "Fluoxetine" that was looking at him with great interest, Robin couldn't help but speak first.
"Hey, what was that Beretta we were talking about just now?"
Where did you get these prank Item from?
Lin Yu laughed.
As I expected, I started with the Item.
Then... there's absolutely no problem.
Because Robin has already provided the answer herself.
"You got quite a fright, didn't you?" Lin Yu took out the [Counterfeit] Beretta M9 again, twirling it in his hand. "But unfortunately, it didn't completely scare you."
"Someone as strong and promising as you can't die in such an interesting Instance right from the start... so I was just trying to scare you a little."
"I can't bear to kill you!"
Lin Yu said with a bright smile.
"But thank you anyway... seeing through that Impostor to scare people at a glance shows you remember the condition of my Item perfectly."
"Of course, besides, [Gun Flower] is practically your signature move," Robin rubbed her temples. "I almost died at their hands, how could I forget..."
"So stop lying to me, you bastard—if you really didn't want to kill me, you wouldn't have shot me last time."
"Now is now, then is then," Lin Yu held up one finger, "I told you, this Instance is very interesting—this is Instance that is truly under the direct observation of the Deity!"
His tone was devout and resolute.
Robin looked at Lin Yu, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed.
"It's exactly the same as always, nothing has changed."
"So, you specifically adjusted your entry time into the Instance, choosing Instance specifically to attend this banquet?"
