Settlement Space! Two Items, New Permissions!

Faced with Li Nian's questioning, Fu Luo appeared completely innocent.

"We... we won't need it on that bus!"

As he spoke, Li Nian spat.

"You can try to intimidate people by using your reputation, that's fine too."

Fu Luo's smile grew even more bitter, "I'm afraid it really won't work."

Why not?

Even Lin Yu couldn't help but ask this question.

Fu Luo scratched his face. "Because we were meeting Coleman and Pankto back then..."

"So what? They both know their stuff, don't they?"

Li Nian raised an eyebrow and asked.

Fu Luo rubbed his hands together sheepishly and said, "Yes, so the owner of that mansion is Paris."

"This is my biggest connection within the Truth Company."

These words silenced the entire [Settlement Space].

Wang Yuyang and Pan Yuqiang, who had been cuddling together and seemingly exchanging their findings, couldn't help but look at Fu Luo.

Li Nian pulled down her sunglasses, her eyes wide open.

"Are you one of President Paris's people?"

Fu Luo still rubbed his hands nervously. "To be precise, he and I are equals... We both work for the family behind him."

Li Nian's expression hardened. "Could it be someone from the Nightless Sky Family?"

"Hey, you know him? -- The pier I worshipped in that world is the Nightless Sky Huo Le."

Fu Luo said happily.

Upon hearing the name, Li Nian gave a thumbs up.

"You're really something... I underestimated you. No wonder you're an unofficial member of 'Order'."

"Although you haven't Tier Advancement, you really have strength... Oh no, you've actually ' Tier Advancement now."

Upon hearing this, Fu Luo realized what had happened.

"This is all thanks to everyone's help, especially Zhu Ming. I am extremely grateful."

Lin Yu nodded. "It's alright."

Although I don't know who "Nightless Sky Huo Le" is, judging from Li Nian's reaction and the fact that Fu Luo said the guy seems to be Paris's backer, he must be a ruthless character.

So he silently memorized the name.

When we visit the City That Never Sleeps Instance again, perhaps we can borrow Fu Luo's name and try to make connections with this important figure.

After some questioning, they figured out some of Fu Luo's trump cards, and everyone quickly checked their own gains.

Lin Yu glanced at it...

This time, surprisingly, I didn't get the "Master of Control" rating, but I did get "Unraveling the Clues" and also gained an additional "Far-Famed".

[Based on the performance in this Game, a rating of "Unraveling the Clues" has been received, earning an additional reward.]

[Bonus Reward: Randomly receive one "Non-exclusive item" as a reward.]

[Item - Rage Spray, already bound]

[Based on your performance in this Game, you have received the rating "Far-Famed" and are entitled to an additional reward.]

[Bonus Reward: Randomly receive one "Non-exclusive item" as a reward.]

[Item - Shady Corner, already bound.]

After acquiring the two Item, Lin Yu took a look at them and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Item this company makes are all incredibly useful."

[Item - Rage Spray: A specially treated, colorless and odorless extract of rage. The spray canister can be activated silently and remotely. After spraying, the inhaler will enter an uncontrollable state of rage, generating indescribable anger. After use, it can absorb surrounding "rage" to recharge.]

[Item - Shady Corner: A high-end, non-mass-produced product within the Truth Company. When used, it creates a "shadow" in a corner that is extremely easy for others to ignore. Hiding within it grants enhanced hearing and vision, but may breed negative emotions. Furthermore, if one actively leaves or is discovered, they can quickly relocate to another nearby corner.]

[Note: This is a creation of a nerd, a loner, or an introvert who was forced to attend a party full of strangers. Prolonged use may damage their self-esteem and lead to the development of strange hobbies!]

Both Item are very useful.

[Rage Spray] is great for using when you're trying to Fraud someone.

People's judgment is severely impaired when they are angry—it is based on this that Lin Yu chose to provoke Yu Longguo in the first Instance.

As for [The Shady Corner]...

Although it seems to have some overlap with the functions of the Little Octopus "Hannah," it also has its unique features.

Moreover, this Item comes with additional "instructions".

Among the [Item], not all high-quality or rare items have additional "descriptions" or "notes"...

However, items with "instructions" and "remarks" are definitely rarer and higher-quality [Item].

Although the description of [The Shady Corner] doesn't reveal much, Lin Yu is certain that it will be more effective in practice than the written description suggests.

Just like Li Nian's sunglasses—they seem to only have the function of seeing through spirits and Energy Body, but seeing that Li Nian wears them 24 hours a day, you know that this thing has a hidden power.

It consumes no energy and requires no cooling.

As long as it's on her face, any spirit will have nowhere to hide in front of Li Nian.

This is incredibly useful in Instance with monsters or ghosts.

Moreover... spirits and Energy Body are not limited to ghosts and monsters.

Li Nian must have developed more advanced uses, but she just hasn't revealed them yet.

"I should definitely try out [The Shady Corner] to see how useful it is..."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then looked away.

Even though he had already received two Item rewards, his rewards were not yet over.

New "blood words" popped up within the [Settlement Space].

Lin Yu was used to it, because so far, none of the Instance he had experienced had been completed perfectly or according to the rules.

Moreover, he had already anticipated this.

This is something he has been actively striving for throughout this Instance.

[Detected that your reputation in the Instance world has reached the required level, and your interaction count with non- Player Wisdom beings has reached the required level...]

[Detected that you have passed the "Rank Advancement Trial" once, and Player level is "Tier 1"...]

[A new Player permissions module, "Socializing," is now available for you.]

Upon seeing the blood-red message, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, now we have the 'permissions'."

"But... what the heck is 'Socializing'?"

Soon, the time for the [Settlement Space] was up. Lin Yu opened his eyes again and found himself sitting in the car with Li Nian and Chen Zhuo.

The car gradually slowed down—and eventually came to a stop on the side of the road.

Before he could even exchange words with Chen Zhuo and Li Nian, Lin Yu immediately realized what the "Socializing" access permission referred to.

He felt that a new function had appeared deep within his soul and consciousness, as natural as being able to store [Item] and see [Item] instructions, as if it were something he was born with.

It had an interface like a chat application, which could be accessed with just a thought.

This is...

The Player's [Socializing] panel!
