Qin Siyu's Socialization Training

Lin Yu wasn't quite sure how the friendship between Qin Siyu and Li Nian came about.

However, Li Nian and Qin Siyu do seem to have a pretty good relationship—this good relationship is precisely reflected in the bickering between the two girls just now.

After all... it's less about them actually competing and more like a friendly, playful banter between friends.

Furthermore, Li Nian's earlier criticisms of Qin Siyu, her accusations of being lecherous, and her warnings against getting close to the "Director" seemed more like a reminder to Qin Siyu than genuine concern...

She was subtly reminding Qin Siyu of the relationship between "Zhu Ming" and the "Director," and warning Qin Siyu not to cross the line and offend her in the future.

It's like the older brother, who's already been beaten by his mother, rushing ahead to teach his younger sister a lesson she's yet to experience in her mother's rage.

Although Li Nian usually seems carefree, in some ways she is actually quite sensitive.

She was trying her best to avoid any potential conflict between her "Zhu Ming" sister and Qin Siyu.

Certainly...

This format is indeed quite interesting.

After all, if Li Nian had mentioned things like "getting a marriage certificate" in the past, Lin Yu would probably have strongly opposed it, but today he didn't stop her much.

On the one hand, he felt powerless against the unintentional but increasingly widespread rumor, and as things had developed to this point, Lin Yu no longer wanted to clarify the situation.

On the other hand, it's because the interaction between Li Nian and Qin Siyu today was indeed quite interesting to Lin Yu.

Whether it was Li Nian criticizing Qin Siyu or the two of them undermining each other, it all made Lin Yu feel very gratified.

It was definitely worth the effort I put in to save Qin Siyu —not just from a purely financial perspective.

The interaction between the two also expanded Lin Yu's valuable Material Library.

"Because I didn't have many close friends during my adolescence and school years, and acting and drama were such niche hobbies that it was difficult to find classmates with similar interests, I should have accumulated the most material on 'friendship between teenagers,' which is actually quite rare."

However, his time was indeed tight right now, and he didn't have the opportunity to give Qin Siyu and Li Nian more time to talk.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities for "Zhu Ming" to interact with Li Nian, so... let's talk about it another time.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu also spoke up.

"In short, although I don't know why Qin Siyu was assigned to my team, the 'Director' doesn't seem to have any intention of taking her back for now, and even if he did, I wouldn't have the authority to trade with her, so she'll stay with me for the time being," Lin Yu paused, "And brought her here today to meet with you, A Nian, to confirm that her story about being acquainted with Director in the Prison Mountain Realm wasn't entirely fabricated, and to confirm that she is indeed the real person and not an imposter or someone with the same name."

Qin Siyu said shyly, "Sister Zhu Ming, no one would want to impersonate me... Besides, I would never lie to Senior Lin; after all, he saved my life."

Li Nian also spoke up, "This 'she' is indeed the real person... but Sister Zhu Ming, it's right that you're being careful. After all, the 'Director's' actions in the Prison Mountain Realm are very significant, and the 'Diviner' is also cunning and full of schemes. It's always good to be cautious."

Lin Yu nodded. "Alright, that concludes today's meeting. You'll have another chance to meet in the future... I'll take her away now."

"Now that you've verified it, A Nian, I'll introduce you to the members of the 'Freedom Alliance' as well."

As Lin Yu spoke, he waved to Qin Siyu, who nodded to Li Nian Qin Siyu then quickly followed Lin Yu.

Li Nian pursed her lips and followed the two of them out of the room.

The members of the "Freedom Alliance" outside had already opened another box of board games and were studying the Rule. When they heard the door open, they all looked up.

"Prisoner" Old Zhou exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, Qianhuan, your star program has been stolen by Li Nian!"

"Magician" Qianhuan looked up and saw Qin Siyu's antique-style, simple-made clothing. He then realized, "What 'great transformation'? This must be Zhu Ming's newly summoned [Summoned Creature]... probably from the Prison Mountain Realm."

"Anyway, God of Cookery, your guest rooms are a bit blindly following the crowd," the "Comedian" chimed in, pausing for a few seconds before asking again when no one paid him any attention. "Nobody wants to ask why? -- Okay, the answer is blindly following the crowd -- two people entering is 'following the crowd,' three people coming out is 'the masses.'"

Inventor Old Wu picked up his tea and took a sip. "It's pretty good, but don't bring this joke to your theater, or they'll demand refunds."

The Comedian lamented, "There are really not many people like 'Tengshe' from 'The Night Watcher' who can truly understand me and appreciate my avant-garde humor."

"Fishing Man" Chen Le said leisurely, "That's true, you and him are a match made in heaven... But, Zhu Ming, what's this girl's background?"

"Qin Siyu, the 'Moon-Exploring Star-Plucking,' was A Nian's good friend in the Prison Mountain Realm. By chance, the 'Director' brought her out using a [Collar], but now she's become my [Summoned Creature]... Anyway, she'll be with me for now."

"Since A Nian mentioned knowing her before, I also asked A Nian if this girl was reliable... Now it seems there shouldn't be any problems."

Seeing so many people outside, Qin Siyu realized that they were most likely the "fellow disciples" that Li Nian had mentioned to her before.

Qin Siyu had heard Li Nian say that everyone in her organization was much better than her, the "Master Thief." Based on the context and Li Nian's confidence, Qin Siyu could roughly tell that Li Nian wasn't lying, and was even holding back a little.

She had a sense of Zhu Ming's current strength.

Therefore, Qin Siyu dared not be negligent and clasped her hands in greeting. "This humble woman, Qin Siyu, greets all the chivalrous gentlemen. Please bear with me in the future."

The God of Cookery nodded. "It's alright. She's Li Nian's friend, and now she's with Zhu Ming. From now on, we're all family—come visit often and have a meal here whenever you have time."

Qin Siyu quickly replied, "Definitely, definitely."

The members of the "Freedom Alliance" exchanged a few more polite words with Qin Siyu. Although "Moon-Exploring Star-Plucking" was not very old, he had been out in the world for a long time, making a living on his own. Even though he spent most of his time alone, he did not show any timidity when it came to situations that required social interaction.

She quickly made a good first impression on everyone.

Then...

Lin Yu finally took Qin Siyu and officially left the "Freedom Alliance".

However, having confirmed that Qin Siyu and Li Nian had a fairly good relationship, Lin Yu no longer planned to change his identity in front of Qin Siyu.

Although Lin Yu felt that Qin Siyu was unlikely to betray him, he didn't want to put Qin Siyu in a difficult position.

Li Nian is her friend, and helping her hide the truth from Li Nian... this must be hard for Qin Siyu to bear.

Rather than doing that, it would have been better to keep it a secret from Qin Siyu from the start.

After all, it wasn't difficult to keep it from Qin Siyu.

Since Qin Siyu is her [Summoned Creature] and helper, she has a better mindset and will naturally put in more effort.

Rather than letting Qin Siyu know his full identity and making it "convenient" for him to directly Qin Siyu using various identities, Lin Yu felt that maintaining Qin Siyu's mindset would be more worthwhile.

Anyway, I'll probably be helping out with both my roles as "Director" and "Zhu Ming" most of the time. The "Director" part can be explained as a "Guest Appearance Invitation."

So...

Holding Qin Siyu in his arms, Lin Yu immediately activated the [Mind-State Teleportation Gun].

He returned to the holiday house where Stiller was staying.

It was late at night, but Stiller was still awake—he was sitting in his study, reading under the lamp.

Once Lin Yu arrived in the courtyard, he immediately chose to communicate with Stiller using his Mental Power.

"I brought a new person back and settled her here for now. However, she can't know the connections between my various identities, so she shouldn't reveal that 'Zhu Ming' and the others are the same person. This is the current understanding of her background..."

After giving Stiller a few simple instructions in his mind, Lin Yu also spoke up.

"Stiller."

Having already heard Lin Yu's instructions in his mind, Stiller calmly put down the book in his hand, raised his head and stood up, performing a standard Etiquette for Meeting Nobles to Lin Yu when meeting a nobleman.

"Boss, you wanted to see me?"

Lin Yu nodded and patted Qin Siyu beside him.

"I brought back a [Summoned Creature] from the Prison Mountain Realm... Although it wasn't my intention, it's now considered part of the group."

"The Prison Mountain Realm is quite different from your City That Never Sleeps. There aren't many Electronic Device there, and daily life is quite different... So, you should give her some 'Socialization Training' during this time."

"Help her adapt to life here and integrate into the society as much as possible, and also explain some important points... In addition, she's considered a skilled fighter in the Prison Mountain Realm, so having her here will give you an extra layer of security."

Lin Yu gave the order, Stiller bowed again.

"Understood, boss."

Qin Siyu looked at Stiller and followed suit. "Understood, boss!"

She said this, then looked at Stiller.

"From now on, we're all on the same path, so please continue to guide me."

Stiller didn't look down on her just because she was a young girl; after all, Stiller knew very well...

Among the boss's Summoned Creature, the one with the highest potential strength is from the same world as this little girl.

Looking outside, Zhu Qiansi was just an ordinary woman.

Moreover, even in the Barren Realm, a girl who looks like a little girl isn't necessarily someone you can mess with.

After all, the major shareholder behind his company Truth Company...

Judging by her appearance alone, she looks like a young girl, even a bit childish.

However, if that person gets serious, they could kill themselves hundreds of times over with just a single hair!
