Arriving in Sea City

Regardless of any quirks this Inspector from the Central China Region, "Nicholas," might have, or whether his [Exclusive item] has some kind of limitation that forces him to dress up as "Santa Claus,"...

But his ability is beyond doubt.

It takes two hours to get from Jiang City to Sea City, even by high-speed rail or plane, but this Santa Claus delivered the person in just forty minutes.

The sled slowly descended and came to a stop on a Street in Sea City.

This is the "meeting" location that Good Night and Li Hua agreed upon.

It was still night in Sea City, but as one of the most prosperous and extravagant cities in the country and even the world, there were still many Vehicles and people on the streets.

However, they all seemed to ignore the strange sled and continued to go about their own business.

Lin Yu and Good Night jumped off the sled and said goodbye to "Nicholas".

"Thank you for making the trip for us," Nicholas Good Night, tipping his hat in greeting. "I'll treat you to a drink sometime."

Nicholas laughed heartily, "Haha, it's just a small matter... More importantly, I want to see the most promising newcomer in our Central China Region right now."

"You've got guts to make a 'Diviner' suffer such a huge loss!"

Nicholas pointed at Lin Yu and gave him a thumbs up.

Then, he laughed loudly and shook the reins in his hand.

The reindeer bells rang, and the plump old man hummed "Golden Hook White, Golden Hook White" as he flew into the night sky once more.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh, "The news spread faster than I expected."

His report was submitted not long ago.

Good Night lit another cigarette. "Get used to it, Xi Ba, this is a big achievement."

You're about to become incredibly popular!

"Sounds good, but Captain," Lin Yu reminded him, "Being extremely popular is a derogatory term."

He kindly reminded Good Night, the foreigner.

Good Night took a deep drag on his cigarette. "Xi Ba, I know I did it on purpose."

"Because I'm filled with resentment and jealousy, and recently I got beaten up by 'Fluoxetine,' and I've become a laughingstock... Xi Ba!"

Lin Yu knew that although Good Night Ye said that, since the other party chose to tell him directly, it didn't mean that she really had any dissatisfaction with him.

"Actually, Fluoxetine is quite strong, and I think everyone's judgment of you is too unfair."

Lin Yu said solemnly, comforting Good Night in a way that matched the theme of "May May."

Good Night nodded. "You're so insightful. May, those people from Xi Ba should have been made to test the strength of Fluoxetine themselves."

While the two were chatting on the streets of Sea City, a black Honda Corolla Business Car slowly pulled up in front of them.

The car door opened, and Li Hua, dressed in a black Tang suit with red cloud Tang Suit embroidered on the shoulders, sat upright in the car and gestured for him to enter.

"Good Night, May May... Gentlemen, please get in the car."

Good Night got into the car and greeted the other person, "Hey, Gambler... we meet again."

The car started moving slowly.

Li Hua adjusted his Tortoiseshell-Frame Glasses, looked at Good Night had taken his seat, and nodded slightly. "Good Night, is your hand injury still not fully healed?"

"My radius is broken into four pieces, and I also have 'blood plague corrosion.' Even if I get help from the organization's Doctor, it won't be quick."

Good Night explained.

After exchanging pleasantries, Good Night pointed with his thumb at Lin Yu beside him.

"The person you wanted, May May, has been brought to you."

"Let's make this clear beforehand. He was in an extremely dangerous situation in the last Instance. Not only did he Escape from the 'Diviner Robin' in the process," Good Night said in a relaxed tone, as if joking. "Logically, he should be on leave now, but you've brought him back to Sea City on the front lines... Shouldn't you give him some extra compensation?"

"Besides, I'm aware of the situation this time as well. Whether you admit it or not, the waters are very murky!"

Lin Yu looked at his nominal superior with some surprise after hearing Good Night's words.

That Korea is really something.

He had just been wondering why Good Night seemed to have such a wide network of connections within "Order"—not only did he know everyone, but he also seemed to have good relationships with everyone.

Now it seems...

This guy is probably just really likeable.

Lin Yu could certainly tell.

Good Night's words just now, first mentioning his achievements and then recounting the difficulties he faced, were obviously intended to secure benefits for Lin Yu!

Sure enough, after listening to Lin Yu's speech, Li Hua tapped on the leather armrest of the car seat.

"Don't worry, Good Night, he won't lose out by making this trip."

"The organization has always been fair in its rewards and punishments."

After hearing Li Hua's words and feeling his gaze, Lin Yu was about to say thank you...

Good Night spoke again, "Eh, eh, eh!"

He crossed his legs and patted his knee. "Xi Ba, brother, I treated you like family, Li Hua, and this is how you treat me?"

"This is my subordinate and confidant in Jiang City, someone like a younger brother to me! Xi Ba, what benefits do you have to offer? Who are you trying to fool with empty promises?!"

Good Night shouted, but Li Hua remained calm.

He pushed up his glasses, seemingly weighing something, and after a moment slowly spoke.

"As a safety net, awarding 'May May' a third-class merit is no problem, and then we can give her a supply reward package worth 500 points."

"As long as he can provide useful clues and ideas, the reward can be increased further. I have the authority to give him up to 1500 points plus one [Support Opportunity] – which means he can have an available 'Tier 3' Player in the organization carry him through Instance for free."

"Of course, if he is the one who investigates the Truth and finds the murderer, or tracks down the whereabouts of the lost Item, I can also decide to let him choose any unclaimed high-level [Item] in the 'Order' Sea City branch Warehouse, or if the Sea City 'auction' can still be held as scheduled... whichever item he takes a fancy to, I will bid for it for him."

Li Hua said calmly.

Good Night sighed, "That's more like it!"

Lin Yu knew that it was finally his turn to speak.

After mentally calculating the value of those items, Lin Yu had made his decision...

"We have to solve this case no matter what!"

However, Lin Yu still maintained the "May May" persona.

"Whether there's a reward or not is secondary; what's important is that if the organization needs me, I will definitely do my best!"

Lin Yu spoke seriously.

"So, could you show me the detailed information about what we're investigating this time?"

"Of course, we're on our way there now."

Li Hua nodded and pulled out a tablet computer from beside his seat.

"All the case information is above; please take a look."
