Paying a Visit

"Jiang City is really that important?"

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised as he listened to Good Night's words.

He thought Jiang City was the kind of place that had been abandoned!

After all, the position of "Order" Jiang City Captain General has been vacant for a long time without being filled... Given the strength and influence of "Order", and the fact that Jiang City is a very important first-tier city with a large population, such a thing is simply abnormal.

So, the reason Good Night was transferred here now is because they value Jiang City so much?

Top 100- tier experts are rare even within "Order".

No...

It seems there's more to it than that.

The Boss of "Order," that is, the "general," did not make the decision to regard Jiang City as the most important city out of thin air.

Good Night just mentioned something.

This is the location of the "forum".

This statement, combined with Lin Yu's recent growing understanding of the power of the "forum," felt somewhat profound.

What's the meaning?

Does the forum have a server here?

This kind of thing, which can directly link the blood-written warnings implanted in a person's soul and mind as part of a "Death game," and interact with the Player's Socializing permissions, can't really exist based on the real internet, right?

Or perhaps... the forum's creators are in Jiang City?

In Lin Yu's view, the forum was by no means a creation of humankind; it was very likely created by the Deity.

Has Deity somehow already entered reality?

Or...

Was it a certain "Player" who became an agent of the Deity?

Both are possibilities, which could even explain why people in the "Psychology Society" are so reluctant to talk about Jiang City.

It could even explain the "strange things" that happened to Fu Luo.

However, judging from the fact that all the people involved were unwilling to delve too deeply, Lin Yu knew that this matter was probably unsolvable until he reached a certain level of height and status.

However, Lin Yu was not in a hurry.

"So that's how it is. Our Jiang City is actually that important."

He put on an "I understand" expression and spoke seriously.

"Then I'll have to work even harder!"

Lin Yu spoke seriously, and Good Night nodded earnestly.

"Excellent! This is the spirit we members of 'Order' should have!"

"May May, I hereby officially appoint you as a member of the First Squadron of the 'Order' Jiang City District General Team!"

Good Night announced this, the captain of the second team took out a badge.

The badge is a silver shield-shaped emblem with a raised red five-pointed star in the center.

Lin Yu took the badge; there was a number on the back as well.

The serial number is written as "Z-27010176".

"Take this. It's an internal badge of our Order, not a [Item], but you can bring it into the Instance."

"It has no special functions, but it can identify individuals."

"You can choose to wear it or not, but the organization recommends that you carry it with you at all times."

"You can use this to enter and exit any branch or stronghold of 'Order' from now on—once your equipment arrives, we will also send you a message in the work group instructing you on where to pick it up."

"By the way, the Headquarters of Jiang City's 'Order' is located inside the old shipyard in the southern district."

Lin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the Tycoon: "Isn't that near the gathering?"

The Tycoon spread his hands. "Yes, it's right across from my restaurant—just across the river."

"Kid, you don't think 'Order' and I just randomly chose this location, do you?"

Lin Yu gained some new knowledge once again.

It seems that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the Tycoon's "Jiang'an Hall" an unofficial member of "Order".

Given Jiang City's strategic importance, it's hard to say whether "Jiang'an Hall" grew bigger before being incorporated into "Order," or whether "The Tycoon" organized "Jiang'an Hall" because "Order" knew that "Order" was short-handed in Jiang City and it was inconvenient to expand its recruitment on a large scale.

Lin Yu pondered silently, nodding slightly on the surface.

"I understand now. It seems I still have a lot to learn!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. The captains are all tied up here, and as the newly appointed one, I should also make a point of traveling around the city to see if any dangerous elements lurking in the shadows are plotting anything!"

"If I discover anything, I will report it immediately."

As Lin Yu spoke, he bid farewell to the three captains of "Order" and "The Tycoon".

Lin Yu then left the hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Yu found a place and transformed into Xia Yue's appearance again.

Next, Lin Yu headed straight for Li Nian's villa.

What she just said wasn't exactly a lie to those three "Order" members.

Lin Yu was genuinely going to find out what the unstable elements lurking in Jiang City were up to!

"Master Thief" is the Player who best fits the definition of "dangerous element" among those who reside in Jiang City.

Despite her seemingly cowardly behavior, she was still a key member of the "Freedom Alliance" and a notorious "Tier 2" Player was expelled from the game.

Upon arriving at the villa, Lin Yu rang the doorbell openly this time.

"Ding-dong!"

Soon, the call device at the door was connected. Lin Yu looked at the Camera that started flashing green and greeted it with a smile.

"Hello, I'm looking for Li Nian."

"I'm Doctor. Xia from Lovey-Dovey Pet Hospital, here to do a home check-up for my dog."

As Lin Yu spoke, the call device transmitted the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Oh, it's Doctor. Xia... Please come in."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he unlocked the door for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu swaggered into Li Nian's house through the front gate, looking at the Rottweiler lying in the courtyard of the villa.

The tall fierce dog looked at Lin Yu, sticking out its tongue in a naive manner.

The villa's main gate opened, and a man, still dressed impeccably in a shirt and suit trousers, with his hair meticulously styled, walked out with a polite smile on his face.

"Doctor. Xia, what's wrong with Tiger Head?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "You're the Family Head, right? A week ago, your family member, Li Nian, called to say that the dog seemed to be having trouble eating. I diagnosed it as indigestion and suggested reducing the amount of dog food for a few days."

"A week has passed now... I was supposed to call back, but I happened to be passing by today on my way to deliver a dog to another family, so I decided to come and check on the dog myself. That way, I can see the dog's condition in person and feel more at ease."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he emphasized it again.

"Don't worry, this visit is entirely personal and I won't charge you any extra fees."

"Of course, I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble... after all, I sent a message beforehand, but your family didn't reply."

He spoke with perfect precision.
