The Biggest, Most Outrageous Unexpected Gain

After seeing Li Nian off, Lin Yu returned home.

In this undisturbed environment, Lin Yu was finally able to calm down and sort out what he had gained from this Instance.

First, there are the descriptions of the two [Item] that I didn't have time to examine closely in the [Settlement Space] earlier—although the "double reward" that Lin Yu earned on his own is a good thing, it has indeed caused some trouble.

There are so many Item, I almost don't have enough time to check the [Settlement Space] every time!

After exchanging a few words with Fu Luo, they could only go out and check some of the Item again.

Lin Yu took out the two remaining Item besides [Rage Spray] and [Shady Corner].

[Mind-Reading Mirror] and [Wailing Fish Launcher]

The former's function can be guessed just from its name—combining the abilities shown by Baron Coleman encountered in the previous Instance, Lin Yu can almost confirm the item's purpose.

[Mind-Reading Mirror: After wearing it, the user can actively view and analyze the real-time Emotion Energy of the target in their field of vision. Please try to maintain emotional stability when using it, otherwise the results may be biased.]

The description was simple, and the functions were pretty much what Lin Yu had guessed.

Most importantly...

Unlike Li Nian's sunglasses, this thing wasn't a very obvious style.

Instead, it's an extremely thin and transparent contact lens.

Lin Yu took it out, placed it on his fingertip, and then gently put it into his left eye.

He is almost not nearsighted, but the makeup for stage performances sometimes involves wearing colored contact lenses, and this wasn't the first time Lin Yu had worn such a thing.

But Lin Yu had to say...

"It's practically like you're not wearing one at all."

He blinked his left eye, feeling almost no discomfort.

I looked in the mirror and couldn't see any contact lenses in my eyes at all.

"As expected of a core product from a leading company, the user experience is quite good."

Lin Yu muttered to himself, then picked up [The Wailing Fish Launcher] again.

This item looks somewhat different from the other three Item obtained in this Instance, at least in appearance.

[Rage Spray] is a futuristic metal spray can, while [Shady Corner] is a grenade-like throwable device.

All of them, including the previous [Fear Torch] and [Chat's Supplies], are quite futuristic and technologically advanced.

Only this [Wailing Fish Launcher]...

Not only does it have a strange name, but it also looks like a plastic water gun.

The colors are very vibrant, employing a highly saturated color-blocking design of red, yellow, blue, and green, giving it a Candy feel.

It looks like something a party clown would pull out.

Overall, it looks like a pistol, but the opening is a horn.

As for the description of the [Item]... it's even more baffling.

[Wailing Fish Launcher: As the name suggests, it launches a slightly unhappy little fish!]

"What the hell?"

Holding the gun, Lin Yu felt that it probably wasn't even a product of the Truth Company.

He thought about it for a moment...

He pulled the trigger on the ground.

"Beep beep--whoosh!"

The horn-shaped muzzle actually emitted a sound effect like a small horn being turned on, which startled Lin Yu.

"Smack!"

A limp, bluish-gray fish was ejected from the gun barrel and then fell directly onto the floor about a meter in front of Lin Yu.

He looked at the fish on the floor, and the fish on the floor also looked at Lin Yu, their eyes flashing with an eerie light.

What joy is there in living, and what sorrow in dying?

The fish spoke, uttering eight words...

It turned into a string of bubbles and disappeared.

Seeing this bizarre scene, Lin Yu fell into deep thought.

This thing seems useless at first glance, and it really is useless.

"Oh well... since there's double the reward anyway, it's basically free money. Let's just say it was bad luck."

Lin Yu muttered to himself as he put away the strange horn gun.

Although Lin Yu quickly came to terms with it, Hannah on his shoulder was still somewhat saddened.

"Croak, Director! That's a really, really good fish... You can tell just by looking at it, the meat must be excellent."

Lin Yu comforted Hannah.

"It's alright, there are plenty of fish with good meat."

After comforting Hannah, Lin Yu explored the Item Space.

He soon realized he had missed a valuable opportunity.

That was also the most outrageous reward from this Instance.

Lin Yu looked at the Item in his Item Space that was named "[Head of Truth Company Security Department Delta Group]" and sighed.

"Damn it, the [Collar]'s duration has ended, so why is this thing still being treated as my property and coming out with me?!"

Lin Yu never expected that the "Fraudster" ability, combined with Counterfeit "veterinarian's" Collar, would produce such a chemical reaction!

The leader of the Delta Group at Truth Company is just like Hannah before...

It has become your own Retainer- type [Item]!

Lin Yu thought that after he returned to reality, the [Collar] duration would also end, and that he would happily let the leader of Group δ go!

Now it seems that this is not the case...

Now all he could do was look to Hannah.

"Um, Hannah, anyway, were you conscious when I called you out?"

Lin Yu asked Hannah, trying to understand Hannah state in the Item Space.

Hannah's answer relieved Lin Yu slightly.

"I wouldn't say yes, Director... He was like he was asleep, and sleeping quite comfortably."

"It was a feeling of relaxation and comfort I'd never experienced before."

Lin Yu nodded. "Thank you, Hannah."

So he thought for a moment...

We've decided to release that guy!

After all, even though the Collar is no longer effective, that guy is now his possession, and might still be loyal to him!

At least... I shouldn't be able to hurt myself.

Lin Yu thought of this and a thought struck him.

Then, the fully armed leader of Team δ appeared in his room.

The leader of Group δ appeared somewhat confused for a moment, but then quickly regained his senses.

"Damn it, what did you do to me! Where am I?!"

He growled and charged at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was startled.

"This is outrageous! How come they show absolutely no loyalty to me?!"

Just as Lin Yu was about to take him back, the leader of Group δ suddenly stopped moving.

Although his facial expression was not visible, the body language of the leader of Group δ showed that he was in extreme pain, with his outstretched hand stuck in mid-air.

"What... what did you do? Why can't I imagine hurting you!"

"Is it a thought imprint? Or is it that kind of brainwashing technique from before?!"

"Damn it... Then why do you preserve my self-awareness? Is this some kind of twisted sense of humor?"
