Tier 1 Fu Luo!

An app supposedly developed by a Player can influence the blood-written text that almost represents the very essence of the "Death game," and even affect the Player's [permissions]—this sounds almost terrifying.

But ultimately, judging from the results...

Lin Yu is acceptable.

After all, the problem that had been bothering him the most since he gained the [Socializing] permissions was solved by the reverse input of the "Forum" to the [Socializing] panel.

He now has two [Socializing] panels.

These two [Socializing] panels naturally allow Lin Yu to enter different IDs.

The problem that had been troubling Lin Yu for so long was easily solved.

Next, Lin Yu conducted further experiments and discovered...

He can indeed create different [Socializing] panels using different forum accounts.

Aside from "Heavenly Artisan" being unavailable, Lin Yu quickly managed to get the four [Socializing] panels set up Director "Old Yao," "Zhu Ming," "May May," and himself!

It seems that as long as he is the "original" one, he can easily start a business.

"Now it's even more difficult to find out that these are all my fake identities!"

Lin Yu said with emotion.

He was quite certain that his simultaneous possession of multiple [Socializing] panels was likely unique!

It's unclear whether it was the "God of Change's " disguise that allowed him to fool the "forum," or whether the [Mask] Item was simply too overpowered...

Or perhaps there are other reasons.

In short, since it was in his own best interest, Lin Yu had no complaints.

Certainly...

Lin Yu wasn't in a hurry to use these different panels to add people from their Socializing circles.

Based on the Tycoon's previous statements, and the fact that neither "Heavenly Artisan" nor most of the "Tier 1" individuals he had come into contact with had activated [Socializing] permissions, Lin Yu could easily draw a conclusion...

Those who can grant [permissions] are a minority among the "Tier 1" members.

After all, this is also related to the "reputation" of the Instance world.

People like Lin Yu who can gain reputation so quickly are extremely rare.

Most people will probably have to go through several Instance after "Tier Advancement" to complete all of this.

The fact that the criterion for judgment is "reputation" has also led to...

It must be because of outstanding performance in a certain Instance that [permission] can be unlocked.

Lin Yu's reputation points are accumulated based on his different identities—including the time he impersonated "Fluoxetine."

If you rashly claim that your "reputation" is already sufficient, it will be easy for your true intentions to be discovered.

So even if "permissions" are granted...

"We'll have to wait at least another week before we can use it."

Lin Yu sighed softly.

Fortunately, he has always been very patient.

At that moment, a notification popped up on the "May" Social Panel — Lin Yu directly accessed the Forum APP through the [Socializing] panel and saw the message sent by Fu Luo in his mind.

[Sherlock: Wow, thank you so much, buddy! I hadn't even realized I'd lost it, and you'd already got it back for me!]

[Sherlock: Are you in Jiang City? I'll come directly to you to pick it up. When is a convenient time for you?]

Seeing Fu Luo's excited reply, Lin Yu also gave a concise and clear response.

[May May: I'm usually in Jiang City. Just let me know when you arrive.]

[May May: I'm basically available anytime.]

He replied very politely.

Fu Luo quickly sent another message shortly after.

[Sherlock: Okay, bro, I'll text you when I get there—I'm going to check the tickets!]

[Sherlock: Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should arrive in Jiang City the day after tomorrow!]

Lin Yu nodded slightly upon seeing Fu Luo's reply.

Great, I'll be able to meet this kid the day after tomorrow.

Lin Yu naturally planned to ask Fu Luo about the previous investigation into "Fluoxetine" in person.

Although the fact that the forum could be directly connected to the [Socializing] panel made Lin Yu feel that the possibility of "account theft" was greatly reduced.

However, since the problem occurred online, it's best not to ask about it online.

What if someone could actually monitor my conversations with Fu Luo?

Moreover, Lin Yu had just thought of something...

While the Fu Luo has Split Personality is just speculation, what if he really was subjected to methods like "hypnosis," "brainwashing," or "Memory loss"?

This type of item may exist among the [Item] produced by "Truth Company".

And since the "Psychology Society" already has a bunch of "Psychologist," it's hard to guarantee that they might have such methods.

If Lin Yu inquired in person and found out that Fu Luo had indeed encountered these cognitive interference methods, he felt that he might be able to glean some clues from his expression and state.

"Regardless, we still need to be cautious after meeting them the day after tomorrow."

"Let's try to get to the bottom of things by indirectly touching on the Truth Company matter... that could be a good starting point."

Lin Yu muttered to himself and turned off his phone.

It's late at night; it's time to go to bed.

Tomorrow I still have to study for the final exams -- although only two days have passed, for Lin Yu, playing Instance has been too taxing on his brain. He's almost forgotten what he studied before, so he needs to review it in time.

Lin Yu drifted off to sleep.

And after Lin Yu fell asleep...

In Zhengcheng, Henan Yu Province, Fu Luo lay in bed, happily buying a ticket to Jiang City.

After putting down his phone, Fu Luo took out a pipe and happily put it in his mouth.

This [pipe] is naturally the Detective's "Tier 1" Item!

Its effects are also very simple.

[Profession Item - Pipe: After discovering the correct "clue" each time the ability is used, one "charge" is gained, up to a maximum of three uses. Upon use, it removes all negative status effects, heals all injuries, and grants a significant boost to stamina.]

The Detective's two [Profession Item] are a [pipe] and a [lens].

After reading the Item description for the [pipe], Fu Luo didn't even bother to look at the function of the [lens] before directly selecting the [pipe].

Are you kidding me? It can store up to three self-healing opportunities – is there a more suitable Item?

"It was definitely the right decision to take the plunge; a moment of bravery is all for the sake of better development!"

Fu Luo said with emotion.

He then happily opened the forum and posted a new thread.

"Hey, speak up! I, Sherlock, have successfully Tier Advancement! What do you say?!"

Then, Fu Luo added three laughing emojis.

Then...

Fu Luo then opened his [Socializing] panel.

"Alright, now it's time to add some friends!"

That's right...

The main reason for his failure to "Tier Advancement" was that he was too cowardly. Fu Luo's reputation was actually not low at all - after all, he was almost on par with Paris in the "Truth Company".

Therefore, once he successfully "Tier Advancement," he immediately gained access to the [Socializing] features!
