Action Planning and Lin Yu's Deduction
Lin Yu certainly remembered what "Old Yao"'s personal image and persona were like.
It's certainly a bit incongruous to have someone who looks like they might not have even finished junior high school and probably can't even pronounce the word "drop out" correctly talking about the Bible and Norse mythology.
Therefore, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't let "Old Yao" solve the riddle "on his own."
His solution was "reliable friends".
This is also the persona Lin Yu is creating for "Old Yao"—a guy with high emotional intelligence, many friends, and a wide network of connections.
After all, although "Jiang'an Hall" is not a large organization, with the expert "Tycoon" in it, its Combat Power is among the strongest in various organizations.
After carefully observing the structure of "Jiang'an Hall", Lin Yu quickly found the role that the organization lacked and that the identity of "Old Yao" could fit.
A guy who can call for "outside help" and knows all sorts of people from all walks of life.
This is the idea that connects the various "fake identities" and also the way to make "Old Yao" deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"May May" takes a lone wolf approach with high Combat Power to increase popularity, while "Old Yao" needs to differentiate himself from others in the competition.
As it turned out, Lin Yu's idea was correct.
"If your friend has no objections, then the reward is yours."
The Tycoon's reply was much more friendly than before.
"Old Yao, although you've only been in the organization for two weeks... I really should consider promoting you!"
"You should have passed the 'Tier 1' by now, right?"
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Tycoon's reply.
"Yes, Boss, we'll do whatever you say!"
Very well, now within the Jiang'an Hall, this identity as a "thief" is gradually gaining a foothold.
Once this identity has become deeply ingrained in people's minds...
Perhaps the abilities of a "thief" can also be as effective as those of a "Doctor" for a long time.
Certainly...
"After making sure Old Yao's presence is felt, we can't forget Zhu Ming either..."
Lin Yu muttered to himself, then picked up A'yu's phone and sent the same message to Li Nian again, this time in Zhu Ming's voice.
Li Nian replied very quickly.
"I see, Norse mythology... very much in that woman's style."
Although Lin Yu knew who "that woman" was referring to, he still asked her a question.
"Whose style is this? I'm quite curious who has this style!"
Li Nian replied again, "I'll tell you when you officially join. That's not a dangerous guy whose name you should know right now."
Lin Yu didn't press the matter further; after all, he was just trying to make "Zhu Ming" a part of his life and establish her persona.
Then...
Lin Yu took out the phone, a trophy from Heavenly Artisan, and quickly glanced at it.
Unexpectedly...
A'yu's post has been removed.
Instead, a new pinned post appeared.
"The mystery has been solved. Members at Tier 2 or above who wish to go to Jiang City can send me a private message to register and request the address."
"Has the mystery been solved? So quickly!"
Lin Yu was secretly surprised.
He even suspected that there might be a mole within "Order" or "Freedom Alliance".
But...
The message couldn't have traveled that fast, especially since the post was still fresh. It's likely that a skilled member of the "Marauders" solved the puzzle around the same time.
Clicking into the post and reading the replies from the "Marauders" members confirmed Lin Yu's thoughts.
"Holy crap, the boss himself took action!"
"A'yu really has influence; she had the boss do the Divination right away."
"Brothers, charge! Charge!"
"Anyone above Tier 2 can go? With the boss saying so, I feel like I have no choice but to go!"
A group of Marauders leaders responded enthusiastically, and none of them seemed surprised or taken aback by the fact that the "mystery had been solved."
In their view, it seemed only natural that the poster would solve the puzzle.
Lin Yu also went back and took another look at the poster's ID.
"Diviner".
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that this is probably another big shot who uses their Profession as a nickname, or whose nickname is closely related to their Profession.
If Lin Yu's guess is correct... the other party might not even need the riddle itself to solve the mystery and obtain the time and location!
"That's really a dangerous ability."
Lin Yu sighed.
Of course, what moved him even more was the name itself.
The fact that this guy could be called "leader" by the unanimous "Marauders" clearly shows his identity.
Lin Yu still remembered where he last saw this code name.
He's the second-ranked Player on the forum, second only to "General"!
He's also the Boss of the "Marauders"!
Fortunately, it seems the other party will not be coming to Jiang City in person.
Of course, even if they come, Lin Yu isn't afraid—if the sky falls, there's someone taller to hold it up.
If the Diviner really came, he, Lin Yu, wouldn't get a turn even if he went through ten rounds!
Just as Lin Yu was pondering...
Gao Shan's voice came from the front passenger seat.
"Hey, Dan Wang, turn around."
"The 'Gambler's' side has sent a message: the location has been revealed!"
"We've exited the city center—on a closed, abandoned section of the Jiang City South Elevated Road. We've been assigned to the old elevated road entrance in the southwest."
Upon hearing this, Dan Wang replied, "Alright, are you not in a hurry?"
"No rush... The Administrator in Sea City is quite nice. He said it's a desolate area, so you guys can eat first and head over before noon."
"After all, we should be the first to solve it, so there's no rush to claim our spot!"
As Gao Shan spoke, Lu Wei interrupted, somewhat surprised.
"That's fast! Could it be that 'super detective' from Yu Province? That guy may be unreliable, but he's really good at solving mysteries!"
Gao Shan shook his head. "I sent him the riddle early this morning. He solved the time, but the location... he said he's not familiar with Jiang City's terrain, and even if he has a direction, it would be troublesome to verify, so there's been no progress yet."
Lin Yu was slightly surprised.
"It seems that although Fu Luo hasn't officially joined 'Order,' his connection with Order is very close..."
However, his thoughts about Fu Luo were fleeting.
Based on the timing of Gao Shan's report, Lin Yu realized something else.
"It seems that Your Tycoon, also has a close relationship with 'Order,' at least with Li Hua, who is likely a very close friend."
Less than a few minutes after uncovering the mystery himself, Li Hua had already relayed the news back to the front lines. And it wasn't just information; it was precise "action instructions" for each team, based on information analysis and planning.
This means that the Tycoon definitely has a way to directly contact Li Hua —there is no need for organizational or organizational level connection between "Jiang'an Hall" and "Order".
Even...
Lin Yu had reason to suspect that the two of them were currently sitting together, looking at the same screen, sharing information in real time!
If that's the case, it would mean...
"Jiang'an Hall will likely cooperate very closely with 'Order' in this operation."
"Jiang City is truly 'home turf' for 'Order'!"
