Special Problem-Solving Approach-Cheating

"So this is what this Instance is all about."

After squatting in the corner of the corridor and finishing reading through the [Ancient Notebook], Lin Yu had a better understanding of the current situation.

It turns out that this Instance has a "reincarnation" mechanism.

The reason Lin Yu suddenly remembered to check the [Ancient Notebook] was...

Was it because, just as he was about to help that unknown Player, he unexpectedly discovered that his one of his few ranged attack methods, the [One-Hit-Kill Pistol], was out of bullets?

Given that he had forgotten the name of the Instance at the beginning, Lin Yu subconsciously felt that he might be under some kind of mental attack, so he immediately wanted to activate [Closed Mind].

Then he discovered that the time limit for [Closed Mind] was also incorrect—27 minutes had already been used!

Realizing something was wrong, Lin Yu immediately took out the [Ancient Notebook] and found the answer within it.

I haven't just entered the Instance yet.

"Moreover, it seems I haven't forgotten how to clear this Instance and its name... The situation isn't always the same in each loop."

"This record was probably not written all at once; at least the summary of the Instance's condition and the 'hint' gleaned from the patient were not found during a single exploration."

"And most importantly..."

Lin Yu flipped to the last page of the [Ancient Notebook], where there were some hastily scribbled notes.

"I've explored all five levels; the contents might directly trigger a 'reincarnation'. If you want to explore those, save them for last. The entry method is saved on your phone."

"Other ways to trigger the cycle might include attempting to leave the Asylum directly."

"Robin probably Robin about this Instance than we thought, and she also has means to retain Memory or transmit information. She has also discovered that the best way to advance in this Instance is to find the Dean on the first floor and obtain his permission—the 'hints' we got from the NPCs earlier also indirectly confirm that Robin has an extraordinary understanding of this Instance."

"Max might have judged her to be at least trustworthy in her previous loops, but now it seems she may also be hiding a deep secret."

"This cycle may bring changes, please be aware."

Lin Yu looked at the words and let out a sigh.

"In other words, although I 'feel' like I've just entered the Instance, I'm actually already close to the most urgent part of this Instance..."

He murmured to himself.

This is really bad...

There is a serious misalignment between cognition and situation, and trying to bridge these gaps with the information in the [Ancient Notebook] alone is an insurmountable challenge.

Lin Yu couldn't help but complain, looking up at the corner of the corridor ahead.

The woman in the shirt, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and panting, had returned—because Lin Yu had noticed the "abnormality" and hadn't had time to help her.

But she seemed to have outrun the monstrous Doctor thanks to her speed.

Looking at the woman before him, Lin Yu already knew her name and background from his Notebook.

Since she isn't Robin, she can only be another Player, Max, who also comes from the Night Watcher.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her approach.

Indeed, conventional problem-solving methods are no longer sufficient to conquer this Instance with its "reincarnation" mechanism...

But...

What if we take a different approach?

Although "Robin" may retain information through some means and be aware of the "reincarnation" mechanism within this Instance.

She may even have known about the existence of the "reincarnation" mechanism beforehand.

But...

The "Max" in front of you has absolutely no idea!

Therefore, there is an information gap between him and "Max".

And this kind of [Instance] with "information gap"...

It just so happens to be the home turf of "Fraudster".

At this moment, Lin Yu finally understood what his past self's biggest purpose was in repeatedly organizing that information into the [Ancient Notebook].

The normal problem-solving methods are indeed no longer feasible...

However, he is a "Fraudster".

He can... cheat.

Moreover, the cheating method to be used this time is one that Lin Yu is quite familiar with and has already succeeded with once.

Using the information advantage brought by "reincarnation" to create a high-ranking identity for himself—this whimsical method once helped him survive the almost desperate situation in the initial Novice instance.

So this time, in this troublesome Instance, while not exactly "despairing," was filled with the suffocating feeling of being slowly boiled like a frog, Lin Yu still intended to use that method to break the deadlock.

Lin Yu looked at Max approaching, his expression calm and unfathomable.

He stepped forward to meet him, and then spoke softly.

"Hello, dear Miss Max, a friend from the Star City branch of the Night Watcher."

Max, who was about to greet Lin Yu, was startled by the sudden greeting.

"You... you know me?"

"Are you also Night Watcher?"

Max spoke with suspicion and wariness, while Lin Yu smiled.

"No, I don't know you personally; rather, I learned about your identity through some 'means'."

"Not only your codename and organization, but I also know that you are Tier 1 'Thief,' and that your chosen Advancement Item is [Magic Pouch]."

Lin Yu spoke calmly, while Max's expression had become extremely wary.

"You... you... who exactly are you?"

Although he had the face of "May May", Lin Yu was quite certain that although his identity was well-known, it was definitely not to the point that everyone recognized his face.

Aside from a few members of "Order" and "Freedom Alliance" whom one might have met and remembered, the rest... such as members of "Night Watcher," Max, and even Robin, might not be able to match their faces with their names at all.

So...

Lin Yu looked at Max and spoke earnestly.

Let me introduce myself... You can call me "The Prophet".

"Being a 'prophet' is also my Profession — my Unique Profession."

You can understand this as referring to a "monk" whose abilities are more specialized in "revelation."

"My ability is to Xingyi 'prediction' every so often and get the answer I want from it."

"After entering the Instance, I activated my ability and saw information about you."

As Lin Yu spoke, Max paused in surprise.

"This... this can't be, right?"

"How can there be such a ' Unique Profession? That's incredibly powerful!"

Although Max was questioning him, Lin Yu clearly sensed it...

This little girl exudes a very strong sense of "belief"!
