With the Tycoon's help, Lin Yu had originally planned to sell his wares all night, but now he had sold out in one go.

Of course, even without the Tycoon, given how popular it was just now... Lin Yu probably would have sold out quickly anyway.

But Lin Yu knew that this was the Tycoon helping him!

After all, as a newcomer whose background no one knew, suddenly taking out so many low-priced items could easily attract unwanted attention!

And by selling everything to the Tycoon at once...

Lin Yu undoubtedly minimized the attention on himself.

What's more, the Tycoon paid and received the goods directly, saving Lin Yu a lot of trouble.

Fifteen batons, twenty potions, a total of 775 forum points!

The Tycoon kept his promise and paid directly in cash!

For this, the Tycoon even invited Lin Yu specially to the second floor.

The second floor of the original restaurant had now been converted into a luxurious office by the Tycoon!

"We meet again, kid."

The Tycoon smiled at Lin Yu.

"You really recognized me."

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person. Although Lin Yu was still wary of the Tycoon, he still responded politely.

The Tycoon waved his hand.

"I didn't recognize you at first, but you were too reckless... The starting price for a baton in Jiangcheng is 30 points! You brought out a dozen and offered them at 10 points!"

"Thinking about how you barged in yesterday, it felt like one person... When I looked closer, hey, your build seemed about right!"

"I sent a message and confirmed it was you."

The Tycoon said, and Lin Yu chuckled, "I can't help it. Even after reading the guides on the forum, there are still many things I don't understand."

"That's true, you're a genuine newcomer who just cleared the first instance," the Tycoon sighed, "But you're also amazing. You got a dozen batons and twenty potions from one instance. Yesterday you also had a pistol... What, was your first instance a bonus round?"

"Just lucky."

Lin Yu replied vaguely.

Seeing Lin Yu like this, the Tycoon burst into laughter, "Look at how scared you are... Don't worry, since you've read the forum, you should know that I, 'Tycoon,' can organize and be responsible for the offline gatherings in Jiangcheng. My integrity is definitely guaranteed!"

"Even if my integrity isn't guaranteed... I wouldn't be greedy for your meager earnings!"

With that, the Tycoon directly picked up his phone.

"Transfer received, 70,000 yuan!"

Lin Yu's phone chimed.

He was stunned.

"70,000 yuan? You just gave it to me like that?!"

The Tycoon waved his hand and took out a paper bag.

"There's another seven thousand five hundred in here, new bills—take it. Yesterday I saw your shoes and clothes were all regular priced. You're young, this is the first time you've earned so much money, right?"

"It's nice to have some new bills in your hand to burn when you get home."

The Tycoon said with a smile.

Lin Yu took the heavy paper bag and quietly put it into his backpack.

"Thanks... You really know how to read people."

Lin Yu said with a hint of helplessness.

Holding the heavy seven thousand-plus in cash felt more satisfying than the bank transfer just now.

"Then I'll be going back now... Thank you so much for your help."

After thanking him and saying goodbye, Lin Yu turned and left the second floor.

This "Tycoon" uncle was too good to him.

If they weren't in Jiangcheng and not in a southwestern city, and considering the uncle looked like a straightforward guy with a gold wedding ring on his right ring finger, Lin Yu would have almost suspected he was attracted to his handsome appearance.

But precisely because he couldn't think of a reason, Lin Yu was even more puzzled.

"Why is this happening?"

And after Lin Yu left.

The Tycoon also stood by the window, quietly watching Lin Yu walk out of the "gathering" restaurant without looking back.

Then, inside the office, a door opened, and a tall, burly, dark-skinned man walked out.

"Boss, why do you value this kid so much?"

"Although it's rare for a newcomer to bring out so many items at once, it's not enough for you to attach such importance to him, is it?"

The Tycoon shook his head.

"I can feel it. This kid has a certain aura, an aura very similar to mine!"

"His future is limitless. He's a raw gem worth investing in!"

The Tycoon said with certainty, but the dark-skinned man wasn't convinced.

"Stop spouting nonsense, boss... You make it sound like you're some kind of human lie detector. What's the real reason?"

The Tycoon sighed helplessly.

"Alright, when this kid came yesterday, he showed me a business card with our address on it... I looked it over, and it seems to be the work of the 'Psychology Society'—he's someone they've chosen! And likely at the highest level of selection!"

"'Psychology Society'?!"

The dark-skinned man exclaimed in a low voice, his expression then turning solemn. "Doesn't that mean, as long as this kid doesn't die young... he'll at least reach 'Tier 3'?"

The Tycoon nodded slowly.

"Exactly, and his 'Profession' probably won't be too weak either!"

"Otherwise, no matter how lucky he is, he wouldn't have been able to grab so many common items in a novice instance on his first try!"

Lin Yu, who had already left, was unaware of the Tycoon's assessment of him.

Since it ended quickly, it wasn't too late yet.

At this moment, Lin Yu was filled with excitement about the money he had earned.

"Should I stop by and buy something for my sister?"

After all, many of Jiangcheng's malls hadn't closed yet at this hour.

Of course, besides excitement.

Lin Yu was also a little curious.

What did the "junior schoolmate" who killed him and left him a business card want?

Could it be that she just wanted to guide him to participate in the gathering and quickly integrate into the local Jiangcheng player circle?

Before leaving, he had walked around the restaurant inside and out again. Even though everyone was masked, Lin Yu couldn't find anyone who resembled the murderer.

Their build, their aura – nothing matched.

And just as Lin Yu was thinking...

A burst of laughter came from behind him.

"Hehehe... Not bad, Lin Yu. As expected of someone chosen by us."

"Not only did you successfully clear your first instance, but you also caused such a stir at your very first auction!"

"Your potential is truly immeasurable."

Lin Yu turned around and saw a figure completely clad in black, heavily disguised, appear in the alley beside him.

The person's voice was hoarse, as if deliberately trying to disguise it.

"Who are you?!" Lin Yu asked coldly.

Hearing Lin Yu's question, the person chuckled in a low, hoarse voice.

"Heh, who I am isn't important..."

"But I can tell you this: I'm from the same organization as the beautiful girl who sent you into the death game and left you that business card."

"We are all members of the 'Psychology Society'!"
