Successfully Joined the Society! Starting as Vice President!

When I got home again, it was already late at night, or even almost morning.

When I passed by the breakfast shop at the entrance of the residential area, the roller shutter door was already half open, and it looked like I could go in and eat soon.

As Lin Yu carefully climbed back into his bedroom along the air conditioner unit and lay down, he thought to himself how lucky it was that his older sister didn't run a breakfast shop.

As for why he came back so late...

It wasn't that he continued to deal with Fluoxetine for a long time.

In fact, Fluoxetine readily agreed as soon as he mentioned wanting to join the "Psychology Society".

"Of course! We would love to have you join us!"

Just as Lin Yu had guessed...

Fluoxetine was completely unconcerned that he had just tried to kill her.

She is indeed not hypocritical.

The Psychology Society doesn't mind admitting people who harbor Killing Intent towards its members as new members.

Of course, the entry requirements for the "Psychology Society" are actually quite high.

While it imposes no moral constraints on its members, it is extremely strict in other respects.

First of all... this is by invitation only.

In other words, it's impossible for a stranger to be recognized if they tell the "Psychology Society" that they want to join.

Only those they deem "promising" will be invited.

This is why Lin Yu wanted to merge the identities of "Zhu Ming" and "Xia Yue"—because Lin Yu knew that "Xia Yue" was also a named S-Rank potential.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. Although there aren't many A-Class and S-Rank, there are plenty of B-Class items.

In addition to being invited, joining a "Psychology Society" also depends on whether you agree with their platform.

This is also why Lin Yu returned home late.

On the rooftop of the Jin Mao Tower, Fluoxetine pulled out a brand-new tablet and made a video call.

"Next, someone will give you an organizational introduction and an assessment of your personality... It's someone from the Professional Committee, so relax."

After the video call connected, Fluoxetine simply shoved the tablet into Lin Yu's hands.

Then this crazy woman said "Good luck!" to whoever she was talking to, and then jumped off the building and disappeared!

On the screen is a man in a white coat wearing a Rorschach inkblot mask, seemingly paying homage to a character from the anti-hero comic book series Watchmen.

The man introduced himself as "Rosenthal" and said he was there to make the "final confirmation" with Lin Yu.

Although Lin Yu was somewhat confused, he still started chatting with the other party.

The atmosphere throughout the whole process was a bit strange...

Compared to joining the "Psychology Society," a notorious "villainous organization" with a somewhat eccentric past and an evil purpose, Lin Yu felt like he was going through a job interview at a large company.

He spent a full two hours on a video call on his tablet on the Rooftop.

For the first hour, "Rosenthal" gave Lin Yu a detailed introduction to the "Psychology Society's" mission and scope of business.

Lin Yu already had a general idea, but Rosenthal still confirmed that the rumors Lin Yu had heard were true.

"Our 'Psychology Society' is dedicated to using assessment, observation, and other methods, with the help of [Item] from the Society's Headquarters and Regional Branches, and the [Mind State Recorder] provided by Mr. Bandura, to discover potential Player and non- Player."

"Most Player are actually unaware of the true nature of the 'Death game,' and even those in positions of power and large organizations, even if they are aware of it, often conceal and distort the fact that the 'Death game' promotes the evolution of the human soul."

"I know you're surprised by this... but it's true, my friend. For each Player, the 'Death game' is a chance to start over after an accidental death, but for humanity as a whole... it's the Deity making us evolve."

"Once we have established 'civilization' and every individual possesses Wisdom, the evolution of the soul is more important than the evolution of the physical body."

"Therefore, our 'Psychology Society' was born—to cooperate with this Game created by the Deity and accelerate Game progress."

"For those who have already joined the Game, we will identify those with potential and then provide them with pressure or assistance to promote their 'evolution'."

"And those who haven't joined the Game yet... we absolutely will not allow those with immense potential to waste their lives."

"According to Mr. Freud of the Council, a person's potential, or even their ability to join the 'Death game,' is not static."

"It is quite possible that a person may be ambitious and full of vigor in his youth, but after only a few years, he may become dull and foolish."

"What if he hadn't met with an accident during those years when his soul was at its most potent?"

"This requires our 'Psychology Society' to take preventative measures and personally send those with high potential into the Game as much as possible!"

"You're no exception, my friend... You might still harbor resentment about this, but you'll understand in the future."

"Now... let's talk about yourself. I have a few questions for you."

Subsequently, that "Rosenthal" actually conducted a psychological interview and test on Lin Yu.

Do you feel you have good Emotion Control?

What is your first impression of family?

Describe yourself using any animal.

It's still a small website.

Honestly...

These questions are indeed abstract and contain a lot of distracting options. The sheer number of questions can easily cause one's true inner thoughts and subconscious to surface unintentionally.

Fortunately, Lin Yu is an immersive, Method Actor.

In addition, Lin Yu had a good understanding of Xia Yue, and had even seen Xia Yue work and upbringing, so he was able to completely immerse himself in the role of "Xia Yue".

The moment he heard the question, Lin Yu instantly immersed himself in the role.

For that hour, he subconsciously identified himself almost entirely as Xia Yue as he asked and answered those questions.

Although he didn't know Rosenthal's skill level, Lin Yu was quite certain.

The other party has no chance of finding any flaws.

Because once Lin Yu is immersed in a role, he can no longer recognize himself.

Even after the video call ended, it took Lin Yu more than ten minutes to slowly get out of character.

But it was all worth it.

Lin Yu now...

He has become a formal member of the Jiang City branch of the Psychology Society —and upon joining, he became the vice President of Jiang City.

"Dear Ms. Zhu Ming, the handover of the Jiang City branch association's President will take place with you tomorrow!"

It was all worth it.

Lin Yu lay on the bed, playing with his brand-new phone and tablet, and sighed.

"This 'Psychology Society,' aside from everything else, has surprisingly good benefits!"
