Messages from Different Identities, an Ultimate Layout

"Alright, junior... Now that we've been open and honest, let's keep in touch online from now on. You can also ask me for help if you encounter any problems in the Game."

"After all, if I stay in your luxury suite any longer, my colleagues might start spreading rumors that I've been targeted by some rich young master... Then a lot of people will ask me for money, and I don't like that."

As Shen Bingmiao spoke, she patted her bottom and left the room, taking with her the skincare products and imported snacks that the hotel had given Lin Yu as a gift.

With a click, the door closed, and Shen Bingmiao was truly gone this time.

Lin Yu, still somewhat bewildered, remained in the room, quietly pondering what she had just said.

The essence of Tier Advancement is the process of making another world remember you.

This is indeed content that is not found in the forum or even in the materials of the organizations I've joined.

Lin Yu hadn't even considered this possibility before.

"I was wrong; my perspective was too narrow."

He couldn't help but fall into reflection.

His gameplay in each Instance was so unconventional that his methods of clearing the game were also illogical, which made it impossible for him to notice this fact.

After realizing this, Lin Yu felt that although he had not yet fully understood the various "abnormalities" he had experienced, he had also vaguely sensed some "connections".

"The Player's potential, the Gaze of the Gods... plus the essence of Tier Advancement."

"After experiencing a few more Instance, maybe I'll find out why I was targeted by the Deity and rated S-Rank!"

Thinking about this, Lin Yu felt much more relaxed.

The tension from the last Instance, where I encountered a bunch of skilled players and felt like I was dancing on the edge of a knife, has subtly dissipated a lot of that feeling.

In Lin Yu's opinion, Senior Sister Shen Bingmiao may not be entirely trustworthy.

But it's still better than a complete stranger.

If you encounter any confusion in the future, you can indeed try asking a "Tier 3" expert or "Order" member with whom you have a good and relatively familiar relationship.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu looked at Hannah.

This little guy is also a fairly reliable person to consult.

"By the way, Hannah... what did you say you thought of her?"

Hannah for a moment, then shook her head.

"It's nothing, Director, I must have misread it!"

Lin Yu nodded and took out several cell phones that he always carried with him.

Shen Bingmiao hasn't contacted Lin Yu yet; perhaps he's gone back to start drinking and is too busy to deal with it right now.

Lin Yu looked at the two cell phones, one belonging to Heavenly Artisan and the other to Old Yao.

The seeds planted in the previous Instance are now beginning to sprout.

In the "Marauders" app, a pinned post appeared in the main discussion area.

The poster's ID is "A'yu".

Her name is highlighted in red, and clicking on it reveals the title "Deputy Minister of the Yan Jing Headquarters".

Without a doubt, this was the blonde girl Lin Yu had encountered in the previous Instance.

The post's title is eye-catching and very much in A'yu's style.

"Urgent! Anyone who can solve this puzzle, please help!"

Upon opening the post, the content was exactly as Lin Yu had expected.

"Brothers and sisters, help me solve this riddle. The answer should be a combination of time and place!"

What does "above the rainbow at dusk in Jiang City, on a night when thirty silver coins clink" refer to?

"A generous reward will be given if the solution is found! Urgent!"

The post was made an hour ago, shortly after the last Instance ended.

Because it was posted by A'yu, a big shot within the "Marauders," it has already generated a lot of discussion.

Upon seeing this post, Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

"As expected, you sought help outside the venue. But... I didn't expect you to post so quickly, Miss A'yu."

He murmured to himself.

Then, he turned on the phone that belonged to Old Yao.

Related messages also appeared in the "Jiang'an Hall" app—but not as prominently as A'yu's post.

The Tycoon released an announcement.

"We received news from 'Order' in Sea City that a group of 'Tier 3' level experts may enter Jiang City in the near future, which may include members of 'Marauders,' 'Freedom Alliance,' and 'Psychology Society.' 'Order' will also send people to assist us, and we at 'Jiang'an Hall' should probably prepare accordingly."

"The time and location are currently undetermined; please wait for further notice."

Although there is no concrete evidence, Lin Yu felt that this message from "Sea City" at this particular time could not possibly be unrelated to the previous Instance.

"It seems that although the Tycoon isn't a formal member of 'Order,' he certainly has a very high priority within 'Order'..."

"I wonder if the president, this 'outsourced' employee, is doing as well as the Tycoon in 'Order'."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then put down both phones.

Great, everything is going in the direction we expected.

Although it was an Instance -of-the-moment arrangement made after the identities of the participants in the previous instance had been confirmed.

But...

That's enough to turn reality upside down.

There's been no word from Zhu Ming yet, since the only contact on this phone is currently the Master Thief "A Nian".

However, Lin Yu plans to take the initiative.

He sent a message to Li Nian.

"I've successfully Tier Advancement."

Li Nian quickly replied to Lin Yu.

"Oh, congratulations! Could you tell me which side you chose?"

The two Tier 1 Item a "veterinarian" can choose are a [Collar] and [Beast Medicine].

The [Collar]'s function is to temporarily convert a non- Player creature into your Retainer. There is a chance of failure if the creature is too powerful or Wisdom. Followers will not respawn Retainer they die.

The [Beast Medicine] can completely cure a non- Player creature and can optionally put it into a frenzy state, with a 24-hour cooldown.

"I chose the [Collar]."

Lin Yu sent a message to Li Nian.

"That's interesting, I like your choice."

Li Nian sent a message.

Lin Yu felt that despite the distance, Li Nian's "belief" was coming.

However, this was not Lin Yu's main objective.

He sent another message to Li Nian.

"By the way, A Nian, I've received information from my intelligence network."

"Something big might happen in Jiang City these next few days. Experts from many organizations are heading here... Be careful."

Li Nian received the message, but unusually, she didn't reply immediately.

It took a long time for Li Nian to reply.

"I see. Your information network is even better than I thought."

Lin Yu smiled and put his phone aside.

"Very good, the acceleration work here is also complete..."

Finally, he picked up the phone that belonged to "Doctor" May.

And the phone screen was turned on...

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

This is the only phone that's been flooded with messages.

The bombshell information, exceeding 99 points, comes from a famous Detective.

"Brother, brother, it's urgent!"

"Call back immediately upon seeing this!"
