Permanent Abilities, Returning to School
Sitting in a first-class seat on the high-speed train on his return journey, Lin Yu his phone to check the final exam PPT summary.
Since the return trip wasn't too urgent, Li Hua bought him a train ticket—after all, it was "Order" that had called him here, so reimbursing his travel expenses was only fair.
Good Night stayed in Sea City —he planned to take the opportunity to attend Sea City's "auction."
Although Carrot died, this did not affect the normal conduct of the auction.
As for Lin Yu, he couldn't be bothered to join in the fun...
He has neither the time nor the money.
Moreover, Lin Yu was clearly more worried about the exams for the last two courses this week than about the "Death game".
The major courses were alright, but the philosophy course in general education was a real headache for Lin Yu —the amount of content to memorize was even greater than the trip to Sea City.
Linking the identities of "Lin Yu" and "May May" certainly carries some risks, but Lin Yu knows that he cannot remain hidden forever.
Now that you have some trump cards up your sleeve, perhaps it's a good idea to appropriately "reveal" some of your unique strengths.
At least for now, the organization "Order" seems trustworthy—not in the sense that their stance will align with ours, but in the sense that they are orderly and reliable.
Revealing one's true strengths to the "Order" can potentially earn one attention and corresponding protection.
Of course, the benefits are not limited to these aspects.
After Lin Yu revealed to Li Hua that he was the "Unique Profession," he received other benefits as well.
As the high-speed train sped along the tracks, Lin Yu could feel a powerful surge of "belief" flowing in, transforming his half-truths into "reality."
"Now I can use both the abilities of a 'Doctor' and a 'soldier', and because the identities of 'May May' and 'Lin Yu' are unified," Lin Yu sighed, "So I don't even need to use Mask to disguise myself and can use the abilities of both Profession in any situation."
This was a major boon for Lin Yu —although he knew his strength was increasing, his Combat Power was also constantly growing stronger with the increase in [Item].
Ultimately, having the ability to have permanent "soldiers" and "Doctor" undoubtedly raises one's lower limit.
Even in regular battles, or when Player of average skill fight ordinary monsters in Instance, you no longer need to use full buffs every time.
[The Stingy Rich Man] has less than eight hours left, and [the Closed Mind] has less than ten hours left.
[Ice Blessing] only has 30 minutes left.
The probability of getting good buffs from regular everyday foods is really low, so it's best to keep these three buffs as long as possible.
Of course, the most important thing is...
"To achieve this level of improvement before the 'Tier 2' Tier Advancement Instance is considered pretty lucky..."
This is probably because I encounter so many unlucky things in Instance, so I'm luckier in other places, which makes my luck more balanced!
Lin Yu remained relatively optimistic.
After all, there was still a brief introduction to the "Tier 2" Instance on my phone, which I had obtained from the "Order" work Group Chat.
The "Rank Advancement Trial" for "Tier 2" and "Tier 1" are largely the same, but there are some differences.
Generally speaking...
The "Rank Advancement Trial" for the "Tier 2" consists of two consecutive tasks.
The first task is like the "Rank Advancement Trial" of "Tier 1", which is integrated into the normal Instance and requires some additional conditions to be met.
The difference is that completing those conditions, clearing the Instance, and entering the [Settlement Space] does not automatically result in "Tier Advancement".
Instead, the second half of the "Rank Advancement Trial" will begin—the next "Player" will unlock a separate [Personal Instance].
This is Instance for only one person, with no other Player to help and no preparation time beforehand, and it is usually very difficult.
Once the first half is completed, you will definitely proceed to the Tier 2, the [Personal Instance].
The only good news is that this [Personal Instance] will have a relatively easy-to-achieve "Clearance Conditions," which means that Player have the right to give up halfway through.
However, if you give up, the next "Rank Advancement Trial" will start from the first half, and the [Personal Instance] will also be different from the last one.
Moreover, the guide emphasizes that the "Clearance Conditions" for the [Personal Instance] are only "relatively easy".
In other words, while it's relatively easy to complete the Tier Advancement, it's still more dangerous than a regular Instance.
Therefore, the advice given in this guide is...
"If you're not absolutely certain, it's best to skip completing the 'prerequisites' and ignore the first half of the 'Rank Advancement Trial,' lest you regret it after entering the [Personal Instance]."
"Generally speaking, if completing the first half is already difficult, requires a lot of consumables, or even uses up most of your trump cards, then don't even try."
Lin Yu silently remembered this.
However, he wouldn't be reckless—this was only his seventh Instance, and only normal Player... no, even those Player so-called good talent, had just started the "Tier 1" Trial in this Instance!
Becoming stronger as quickly as possible is important, but one shouldn't let that blind them or lead them to reckless and impulsive actions. Becoming stronger is for survival; if one takes on greater risks or even dies before achieving their goal, it's not worth it.
Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
Lin Yu was also reviewing the section on "contradiction" at that moment.
"I never imagined that the concept of 'primary and secondary contradictions' would actually have such practical guiding significance... I didn't even realize it when I was memorizing it in high school."
He sighed silently.
Perhaps it's because I hadn't faced such a harsh reality back in high school.
Normally, college students shouldn't have to face this kind of cruelty.
After endless recitation and Memory, the train soon arrived at its destination.
After leaving the station, Lin Yu hesitated briefly before choosing to return to school over going home.
On the one hand, after returning to school, you can go to the library to study.
The library has a good learning atmosphere, which makes reviewing, especially memorizing, more efficient.
On the other hand...
Lin Yu took out his phone and sent a message to Shen Bingmiao.
[Double Wood: President, are you at school?]
[Double Wood: I'm back from Sea City. I have some questions for you.]
[Double Wood: It's about the Game.]
"I really hope you can give me a reasonable explanation... President."
Lin Yu sighed as he spoke.
