Mysterious Delivery

It was already 11:30 when I got home from school.

This would normally be something Lin Zhao would nag about for half a day, but after this period of frequent outings, Lin Zhao has gradually gotten used to Lin Yu's late returns.

Of course, Lin Yu felt that the main reason this was the money he had given was because it was effective.

"It's time to make some more money. Now that 'May May' has the identity and fame, plus the 'Order' background, it wouldn't be bad to take on some freelance work."

"Or I could use 'Old Yao' as a cover to find myself some work... Hmm, on another note, it's time to make Old Yao's identity more visible."

"Currently, both 'Order' and 'Marauders' probably think that I, as 'May May,' have a small organization, so it's good to let Old Yao show his face more often... Maybe we should consider developing a few more new identities."

"After completing the 'Tier 2' Instance, I'll try to take on more jobs and save up more points and money. At least next time I encounter an event like an 'auction,' I won't be so Desire to even go... You can never have too many [Item]."

Lin Yu sighed.

I'm still too poor!

Although you can get a lot of Item from each Instance, only a few are actually useful.

In previous Instance, the only usable weapon without using [Counterfeit] was the [Fear Torch]...

Who's the kind person who beats people with Torch every day?

Fortunately, after joining "Order," I was given a [Item Integration Set], which included a [Targeting Dagger], so at least I had a weapon at my disposal.

However, the only long-range attack method is still the [One-Hit-Kill Pistol] – and this thing only has one bullet!

"Thinking about it, there really is a lot to do..."

"Also, I forgot to ask my Senior Sister what the [Item] that the phone ate is for..."

Lin Yu opened the door as he pondered this.

Pushing open the door, I saw Lin Zhao sitting on the sofa, just like always.

Compared to his previous late returns, Lin Zhao had indeed gotten much more used to it.

"You're back? Why are you so late!"

"I went to Sea City on a business trip, and I just got back not long ago. Then I went to the school library to study for a while," Lin Yu, changing into slippers and walking up to Lin Zhao. He took out a box of pastries from his Backpack. "Although filming is very busy, I don't want to fall behind in my studies."

The pastries were beautifully packaged; Lin Yu bought them from the train station in Sea City.

Lin Zhao took the pastries and snorted, "Busy, busy, busy, so busy I'm never home..."

"You're spending so much money."

Although Lin Zhao said that, Lin Yu could tell that she was quite happy.

After all, my older sister has always loved desserts, but these things were a real luxury for them in the past.

Lin Zhao carefully opened the box, took out a beautiful white pastry, and squinted his eyes.

What is this?

"It's called Seven Treasures Square Cake), and it's quite famous."

Lin Zhao broke off a piece and popped it into his mouth, smiling as he asked, "It's quite delicious, so how much did it cost?"

"It's not much money, just over sixty."

Lin Yu cut the price by 70%; this box of high-end pastries actually costs over two hundred.

However, he was quite certain that if he told Lin Zhao the real price, Lin Zhao would definitely bail him Seven Treasures Square Cake.

Sixty-something was almost the highest price—it made Lin Zhao feel a bit extravagant and expensive, but it was also right on the edge of what she could accept or even enjoy because "I've already bought it."

Sure enough, Lin Zhao curled his lip. "Little Yu is making a lot of money now... he can buy pastries that cost over sixty yuan without a second thought."

"Oh, by the way, you have a package. I put it on the table in your room for you."

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised to hear Lin Zhao's words.

"Express delivery?"

He even started to get a little nervous.

Who... can send themselves a package?

My identity had barely been officially confirmed as "May May" when a package arrived at my door?

Although "Order" promised to guarantee the personal safety of its members' families, and given that Li Hua values her and she even has a connection with her Senior Sister, she's sure to receive more attention...

However, Lin Yu probably won't be that fast!

So after hearing Lin Zhao say that, Lin Yu nodded calmly.

"I understand, I'll go open it and see what it is."

Lin Yu quickly returned to his room.

Then, he closed the door and let Stiller out—although he had let Stiller roam freely in Sea City before, he would definitely have to put him back into his Poké Ball when he took the train.

After all, Stiller is a living, breathing person, unlike Little Octopus or a brain that can be tucked away in a bag.

Stiller, who had reappeared, stretched.

"Boss, are we home?"

"What is it now?"

Lin Yu pointed to the package on the table, which was a box about the size of five kilograms of brine.

"There's a package at home, but we don't know who sent it... You worked in the Security Department at Truth Company, do you know how to handle this?"

Stiller glanced at it and said confidently, "This is indeed within my area of expertise. You know, the number of dangerous packages President Paris receives in a week is definitely comparable to the number of love letters a popular girl on campus receives... Bombs, poison gas, germs, and even simple threatening letters and excrement—I've seen them all."

"Don't worry, let me check you first."

Stiller approached the table, took out a heavy pair of gloves from his pocket, and put on his tactical helmet.

"Thermal imaging is normal; there is no residual malicious intent..."

He shone the flashlight twice more, then listened with what looked like a stethoscope.

"There are no mechanical movements or physical sounds, but it does contain high energy, and the energy structure is very stable... Oh, wait, never mind."

Stiller suddenly took off his helmet and gloves and casually picked up the package on the table.

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so sure everything's alright?"

"Because the inspection is almost complete, and I just noticed that the sender is Li Hua, and the address is the hotel we stayed at before," Stiller shook the box, "If I remember correctly, Li Hua is someone you trust, Director, right?"

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

That's certainly true...

He stepped forward, took the box, opened it, and saw a beautiful, sparkling, silver Necklace inside.

There was a note inside.

"We've taken the liberty of giving you this as payment, and another 1000 points will be directly deposited into your forum account as a reward."

"If you're not satisfied, you can send me a message."

Looking at Li Hua's beautiful regular script calligraphy, Lin Yu picked up the Necklace.

"So this is my payment... It arrived pretty quickly."
