Shen Bingmiao's Gift

Lin Yu came to find Li Nian, partly to inform her of his connection to the "Freedom Alliance" and to act as its mouthpiece, revealing that he had already joined the "Psychology Society" and that the plan was underway.

On the other hand...

Lin Yu also wanted to cross-reference the information he had just heard from "Order".

And Li Nian's explanation was indeed largely accurate.

"There's a terrifying thing in this city that can't be mentioned, something that can't be spoken of. I can only tell you it's probably related to the forum; I don't know anything more."

Lin Yu got the answer he wanted.

The time for the fake inspection was almost up, so Lin Yu concluded that "the dog is fine" and then swaggered away from Li Nian's house once again.

Lin Yu also gained something unexpected during this visit.

"Li Nian seems to have quite... reverence for her parents."

I had assumed her family was the more relaxed, more hands-off type, but now it seems that although Li Nian's father appears very gentle, he actually holds absolute authority at home.

This greatly deepened his understanding of "Xia Yue".

Lin Yu even filled in a lot of details about the character "Li Nian".

"Maybe if we run into trouble in the future, we can borrow her identity..."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment.

If the ability to be a "thief" is required, then the identity of "Old Yao" is already established.

If it were Li Nian's identity, what they would definitely value is her status as a member of the "Freedom Alliance" and her reputation as a "Master Thief"!

As for whether it will cause trouble for Li Nian...

Although the two are now somewhat like Partner, Lin Yu still doesn't mind letting Li Nian suffer a little loss.

Even if it was intentional and the bicycle was returned afterward, that little brat still stole his bicycle!

Anyway, she'll get herself into trouble.

Lin Yu thought to himself without any psychological burden.

After leaving Li Nian's house, Lin Yu had nothing else to do for the time being.

With "Zhu Ming" joining the "Psychology Society" and "May May" joining "Order," Lin Yu's operation can be considered a success.

Next...

He needs to hurry up and review.

Two more exams on Monday and Tuesday!

President Shen Bingmiao said there will be plenty of performance opportunities during the summer vacation.

Although after joining the "Death game," Lin Yu was forced to perform and hone his acting skills almost every day.

But he still wanted to perform on stage and systematically learn more performance techniques.

After returning home, Lin Yu was surprised to find...

It was a weekend afternoon, but Lin Zhao seemed to be at home.

The living room window was open when he left this morning, but it's closed now.

"Huh? Sister, you're home?"

As he spoke, Lin Zhao came out of the kitchen wiping his hands. "Yes, I'm back!"

"Is the shop closed today?"

Although Lin Yu often hoped that his sister would rest more, Lin Yu was still surprised to see that his sister, who was always busy, was actually resting at home.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "We won't open the shop today. You're about to have your final exams, so I'll make you something to nourish your mind and body."

Lin Yu took a deep sniff, and indeed, the aroma of stewed fish wafted through the air.

He loves to eat fish.

However, Lin Yu couldn't help but complain, "Sis, it's rare for the store to be closed, you should at least rest a bit. You're busy even at home..."

"This is my final exam, not the college entrance exam!"

Lin Zhao put his hands on his hips. "Does that mean we can't take final exams seriously?"

"It's pointless to bring up my topic. Did I mean you didn't take the final exams seriously?"

Lin Yu offered a helpless explanation.

"Oh dear, it's just that you've been running around a lot lately, unlike the previous semesters," Lin Zhao waved his hand, "You have to earn money and keep up with your studies, I understand."

"And..."

Lin Zhao pointed to the shelf next to him.

There's a paper bag there.

Lin Yu was somewhat stunned.

"Huh? What's this?"

"Your classmate, the president of the Drama club, came by," Lin Zhao said with a smile. "He said it was a sponsored phone, one for everyone in the Drama club ... and then he told me to keep an eye on your studies, make sure you don't fail any courses, saying you have a very important tour performance during the summer vacation."

"Oh my, your club president has such a sweet tongue! She keeps calling me 'sister,' and even complimented me on how young I look and gave me skincare products..."

Looking at Lin Zhao's beaming face, Lin Yu could roughly imagine how Shen Bingmiao would coax her sister to be happy.

"Senior Sister really does have high emotional intelligence."

Then, Lin Yu picked up the paper bag and went into the room.

"They said they didn't have my phone, but it actually is?"

Lin Yu took out the phone box from the paper bag.

"The latest Fruit Phone... and the top-of-the-line Pro Max version at that."

Lin Yu looked at the box and said with some emotion.

There was also a sticky note on the box.

"Give me my dearest 'ace'—yours are definitely two levels above theirs! >w<"

Lin Yu curled his lip as he looked at Shen Bingmiao's messy handwriting and simple emoticon drawings.

"So, they're afraid of causing resentment by treating others differently?"

Although his earlier comment about "high emotional intelligence" was somewhat of a joke, Lin Yu now had to admit it...

Shen Bingmiao's handling of the situation certainly demonstrated high emotional intelligence.

"This is way too expensive."

He opened the phone's outer packaging box, but then Lin Yu realized something was wrong...

This isn't just a matter of being two levels higher.

The phone inside the box was completely transparent... it looked like something from the future.

Or...

It might just be a piece of glass?

What is this?

Lin Yu picked up the phone curiously, and then something popped into his head...

Item hints.

[Item: Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin, already bound!]

[Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin: Hey, hello, feed me all your electronics and other Item!]

[Note: This Item created by a Deity who wishes to remain anonymous. It has the potential to grow and is currently unremarkable.]

[Note: It will find its own food!]

Lin Yu looked at the three lines of brief, blood-red text describing the [Item] and realized...

"Senior Sister, you're so generous!"

This is not only an Item that has both [description] and [notes]!

Moreover, the three-line description even reveals that this thing was created by the Deity and has the potential to grow.

The value of this thing...

Lin Yu felt it might require hundreds of thousands or even millions of... points!

He felt a chill run down his spine.

"My dear Senior Sister Shen Bingmiao, who exactly are you?"

This is definitely not something a "Tier 3" Player can casually give away!

Although the powerful "Tier 3" Player Lin Yu had seen all possessed Item that appeared to be very valuable, such as "A'yu's" dual pistols, "Li Hua's" Dice, and "Qianhuan's " top hat...

But they would never give those things away as gifts.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu picked up his phone and sent a message to his Senior Sister.

"What kind of thing did you give me?"

But before they could receive a reply from Shen Bingmiao...

The transparent glass plate he had placed on the table suddenly generated a huge suction force, pulling his phone towards it!
