Permissions and Hannah's Confusion

Lin Yu was slightly shocked upon hearing the Tycoon's words.

Similar remarks were made by Senior Sister Shen Bingmiao before.

"Tier Advancement" is the process of making another world remember you firmly.

But obviously...

The Senior Sister probably thought she was still a long way from "Tier Advancement, so she didn't elaborate.

From the "Tycoon's" words, Lin Yu could easily deduce...

"Tier Advancement" has other benefits—and these benefits are closely related to making another world "remember you".

The Tycoon looked at Lin Yu and said with a smile.

"As you've probably noticed, many of the Instance worlds in the 'Death game' are interconnected... While not all Instance are a single entity, Instance are indeed linked."

"I can't go into specifics, just like how you, as Player, can't mention 'Death game' to ordinary people... As a high-level Player, there are some things I can't reveal to lower-level Player either."

Lin Yu nodded.

"There's actually such a saying..."

The Tycoon grinned. "That's why there's so little information about 'Tier Advancement' —in short, as you're gradually remembered by another world, besides receiving special [Item] rewards from the 'Rank Advancement Trial' itself, and being granted new abilities..."

"More importantly, you will gain more 'privileges'—being a 'Player' certainly comes with many inconveniences, but even setting aside the 'Profession,' you will have superpowers that are almost like 'superpowers' compared to ordinary people."

"These are the benefits of 'permissions'—like the 'Item Space' that all Player have."

The Tycoon chuckled and produced a cigar out of thin air—clearly, it was an Item cigar.

"Entering the Death game, the most basic privilege you gain is 'Item Space,' but becoming a 'Tier 1' Player grants you even more 'privileges'..."

Lin Yu scratched his head.

He's already "Tier Advancement" and completed an Instance, so why haven't I heard of this "privilege"?

The Tycoon seemed to sense Lin Yu's confusion and chuckled.

"You'll need to re-enter the Instance and encounter the right opportunity to obtain this 'permission'."

"In short, here's my advice: try to build good relationships with friendly NPCs and strive to obtain an 'identity' that can be used repeatedly in another world."

"Then you'll probably understand why we call each other by code names, and why the 'forum' enjoys such high prestige among Player..."

Tycoon spoke, Lin Yu, though somewhat confused, vaguely understood.

But at this moment, he was, after all, "Old Yao," and could only scratch his head.

"Okay, I've got it, Boss. I'll work hard."

As Lin Yu spoke, the Tycoon nodded.

"Looking forward to your good news, Old Yao —and by the way, tell your 'Doctor' friend that 'Order' thinks highly of him and is very eager to know how he's doing."

"This is some 'insider information' I obtained through my connections."

Tycoon spoke, Lin Yu's face lit up with joy.

Wow, May is going to be a month of great success!

Then, Lin Yu sighed again, "But he's not in good condition right now. You know, it's a miracle he even survived!"

"This person is rather stubborn and inflexible. Before joining 'Order,' he was too embarrassed to bother others... so he's currently hiding away to recover his strength and wait for the next Instance."

As Lin Yu spoke, the Tycoon couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Such a good personality, no wonder 'Order' chose him."

"I feel like your friend is going to have a very bright future after going in..."

Lin Yu nodded, his face filled with longing.

"Yes, then I'll have another powerful backer!"

Then, Lin Yu changed the subject and said another sentence.

"But he's still not as good as you—at least that guy didn't talk to me about 'authority'!"

As Lin Yu spoke, the Tycoon chuckled twice.

"Haha, they probably think it's unnecessary!"

"Alright... Old Yao, once this storm has completely subsided, I'll try my best to get you a minor official position at 'Jiang'an Hall'."

The Tycoon remarked with a sigh, "We at 'Jiang'an Hall' have no shortage of core members, but compared to truly large organizations, we are still severely lacking in high-level talent!"

"Old Yao, it would be great if you could just jump straight to the Tier 3... Haha, just kidding!"

Lin Yu also laughed.

"Oh, I'd like to too!"

"Thank you for your kind words, Boss! I'll head back now; I need to prepare for the next Instance!"

Lin Yu smiled, bid farewell to the Tycoon, and left the abandoned restaurant.

"Now 'Old Yao's' identity is gradually getting on track... and there's an unexpected bonus: we've obtained some very important information."

"As expected, 'Tier Advancement' isn't that simple... and I'm also starting to wonder what exactly this 'forum' is."

It was already afternoon, almost dinnertime.

A full day of intense infiltration and performance, changing identities and rushing to three different venues, left Lin Yu feeling utterly exhausted once again.

The last time I was this tired was when I set a trap to kill the "Marauders".

"Go home and rest."

Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Although there was still a loophole regarding "Zhu Ming's" identity that hadn't been filled in, he was simply too exhausted.

Not to mention...

"I have final exams next week, so I need to study this weekend."

Lin Yu rubbed his temples and said painfully.

Even though the events in the "Death game" are important, final exams can't be neglected.

Lin Yu not only wanted to live, but also wanted to live a peaceful and happy life.

Therefore, real-life matters cannot be neglected.

After riding his bicycle home, he found that his older sister, Lin Zhao, wasn't home. Sometimes, when her small restaurant was busy on weekends, Lin Zhao would work late to earn more money.

Although Lin Yu has gradually started to convey the message to his sister that "I can earn a lot of money," it is not easy to completely change Lin Zhao's habits in a short period of time.

After quickly stir-frying some scallion oil and minced meat with egg sauce as a topping, and making some hand-pulled noodles to tide him over, Lin Yu returned to his study to begin studying.

After finishing her meal and returning to her room, Hannah spoke softly.

"Quack quack, Director, although your cooking skills are pretty good... why do you never let me help with the cooking?"

Lin Yu looked at Hannah, whose two tentacles were pointing at her like fingers, and belatedly slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, I forgot you can cook too!"

"My sister usually does the cooking, so I don't need you to do it!"

Hannah scratched her head. "Quack? Is that the Director's older sister?!"

"But she looks younger than you!"

As Hannah spoke, Lin Yu chuckled to himself.

"It's a pity I can't introduce you to my sister, otherwise you could say this to her face, and she would be overjoyed."
