Regarding what Robin said...

Lin Yu had absolutely no idea what was going on!

Lin Yu had no idea how to enter the Instance early in the "Death game".

Although he could deduce from Robin's statement that "knowing the Instance content in advance and choosing when to enter the Instance" should be feasible among high-level Player.

Li Nian had previously come to the same Instance with him.

But...

Lin Yu had no idea how to proceed.

He only knew that there were Item that allowed Player to team up, but what kind of Item enabled this pre-locked Instance entry and unauthorized access to the same Instance...?

Lin Yu had no idea.

Therefore, answering this question normally would likely give you away.

But...

Lin Yu was extremely relieved.

"Rather than saying it was something I did intentionally, it's more like... it was Destiny."

"Destiny brought me here and gave me this Game where I can face the Deity directly."

Fortunately, the persona of "Fluoxetine" allows for not speaking politely.

Really...

After Lin Yu's remarks, Robin sighed silently.

Although they felt helpless, they had no doubts whatsoever.

"Okay, okay."

She muttered to herself, then waved her hand resignedly.

"It was truly impossible to get any information out of you..."

"I'd better investigate what you're planning myself."

At this point, Robin in thought.

"Although rationally I feel there's no connection, I don't know why..."

Robin looked at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with doubt.

"I have a feeling that your presence here is related to your trip to Jiang City."

Upon hearing the words "Jiang City" in Robin's words.

Lin Yu's heart nearly skipped a beat.

He was trying to deduce Robin about Fluoxetine from Robin's words and reactions.

But unexpectedly...

The other party had actually brought up the very thing Lin Yu wanted to know most.

No...

It would be somewhat arbitrary to say that now.

Although the presence of "Fluoxetine" in Jiang City did indeed kill him.

But Robin was referring to might not have been the fact that Fluoxetine killed him.

So...

Lin Yu tilted his head subtly, feigning interest as he spoke.

"Oh, you're surprisingly perceptive..."

"But do you really know what I did in Jiang City?"

Lin Yu said casually.

Robin sighed, "Just how little do you trust my abilities? Others may not know, but I already had a pretty good understanding of the situation before I went to Jiang City."

"Of course, it's understandable that you want to keep it a secret..."

"After all, he's the second person with 'S+' potential among all the potential Player assessed so far—even most people within your organization only think he's A- or A."

Robin spoke, Lin Yu's heart pounded.

The Psychology Society possesses [Item] capable of assessing a person's potential, and has never made a mistake.

According to the evaluation of that [Item], the higher-ups of the "Psychology Society" will divide human potential into seven levels, from S to F.

The higher the level and the greater the potential, the further one is likely to go in the "Death game".

Not only Player who have already joined the Game, but also Player who haven't yet entered the Death game can receive their own level rating.

The results of this assessment are mostly semi-public – the crazy people at the "Psychology Society" will even proactively send the Player' potential qualifications they recently assessed to other organizations.

And it is precisely because of this behavior that Lin Yu understands their evaluation criteria very well.

Those who receive a B rating are almost invariably able to "Tier Advancement" around the eighth Instance, while nearly a quarter of those with a B+ rating can succeed on their first try.

Most of the top performers in each organization have received a rating of B or higher.

As for A...

Among the people I've met, "Tycoon" and "A Nian" are in this category.

Even the other Player at this dinner table are of this caliber.

After learning about the evaluation criteria of the "Psychology Society," Lin Yu couldn't help but speculate.

I may have been categorized as A based on some unknown reason.

But...

Robin's words made Lin Yu realize a possibility.

"Am I S+?"

This possibility even sent chills down Lin Yu's spine.

He forced himself to remain calm and spoke with a smile.

"That's just baseless speculation, I won't admit it."

"How could an evaluation of S+ level appear so easily?"

Robin sighed.

"It seems you still think I'm bluffing you."

"I have evidence... 'Jiangcheng Media University,' is that enough?"

"You think you can fool me, a 'Painter' who has already advanced to the 'Tier 3,' with your casual actions?"

Robin's words were almost the final word.

Based on these words, Lin Yu was completely certain...

"It really is me."

With rather complicated feelings, Lin Yu looked at Robin.

"Correct answer—so, are you going to try and take him away?"

Lin Yu said with a smile.

"I have no such intention, but... since it's S-Rank, or even S+, it makes me a little suspicious."

"Has he already caught the attention of the Deity...? If so, which Deity is watching over him? Could it be the 'God of Joy'?"

Robin pondered.

Lin Yu laughed.

"Well, I don't think so."

So it turns out that it's inevitable for S-Rank characters to be targeted by the Deity.

Moreover, the answer to this perplexing question for Robin...

Lin Yu was also well aware of this.

Although it had disappeared due to its disguise, Lin Yu could still detect it if he concentrated even slightly.

The simple Crow mark on his wrist.

"You seem to know something?"

Robin looked at Lin Yu and asked curiously.

"Of course—but I won't tell you."

As Lin Yu spoke, he grabbed the dangling rope with one hand.

"Since you're so good at investigating these things, then keep investigating on your own—my dear Tier 3 Painter!"

After saying that.

Lin Yu stood up from his chair and waved goodbye to Robin gently.

Without any protective measures, without any entanglement or knots, he simply grasped the rope and disappeared into the dark, piled-up clouds, Robin to the astonishment of the robin.

Robin stared at all in disbelief.

"That's insane."

She muttered to herself, then took out a sketchbook and drew a sturdy-looking, metallic-looking hanging basket.

He took the hanging basket out of the paper, placed it on the table, tied it with rope several times, and then pulled hard to test its load-bearing capacity Robin climbing inside.

She then gripped a section of rope hanging from the overhead basket and began to move extremely slowly.
