Promoted to Captain-Level "Order"!

Lin Yu once again granted Stiller the authority to act freely, allowing him to go on vacation.

Although he seemed magnanimous, Lin Yu did not let Stiller go out of some vague sense of "morality" or because of emotional impulse.

First, given that Stiller still belongs to himself and exists as his own Summoned Creature [Item], it is impossible for him to engage in any subjectively malicious acts to harm himself.

Secondly, the time spent together had allowed Lin Yu to understand Stiller's temperament: Lin Yu was not an emotional person, but Stiller, this seemingly cold-blooded Artificial Humans and head of the Security Department of a large corporation, was actually a sentimental guy.

So... Lin Yu's move was a very simple "feigned indifference" tactic.

With my current combat strength, I can handle most situations even without Stiller's assistance.

Giving Stiller a break during this period will indeed result in some losses, but it won't leave us in dire straits.

But if this method can help Stiller completely open up, then when he returns to the City That Never Sleeps...

Perhaps he can become a great asset to me once again.

Even if Stiller were to be released, Lin Yu wouldn't care—since Stieler still cherished Paris's friendship while with him, it meant that Stieler would cherish Lin Yu's friendship just as much when he was with Paris.

This point was also acknowledged by Lin Yu's other Summoned Creature, the psychology master Old Zheng.

"What a classic postmodern, non-authoritarian parenting tactic of guiding pressure! It seems like you've given him freedom, but poor old Shi has no choice from this moment on."

Lin Yu listened to Old Zheng's words and curled his lip. "That's still a problem with Stiller's personality. I just took advantage of that."

"That's true. How could someone like him, a mere 'canned' man, possess such rich emotions and a righteous character? This is unlike someone from the City That Never Sleeps; he's more like Guan Yu from 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' —he could 'be in Cao Cao's camp but his heart was with Han,' so he would surely 'release Cao Cao at Huarong Pass.'"

Lin Yu nodded.

Indeed, Stiller at this moment is like the story of Guan Yu in the classic Chinese novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," which is familiar to most Huaxia people.

Lin Yu then realized what Old Zheng meant. "You're saying I'm Cao Cao, right?"

"I had no such intention; it was just a metaphor."

Lin Yu said irritably, "Fine, he can be considered a hero of troubled times, I'll take that as a compliment... However, I won't be defeated at Huarong Road when facing Paris in the City That Never Sleeps."

"Director Excellency, I must remind you, Chancellor Cao thought the same thing before he used a large Iron chain to moor his boat."

Hearing Old Zheng say that, Lin Yu finally lost his temper. "Hannah, slap him."

"Quack! Yes, ma'am!"

Hannah, the most reliable and loyal of the three Summoned Creature, immediately took action, her eight tentacles instantly whipping Old Zheng into a spinning top.

Amid Old Zheng's screams, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction, gave Hannah the instruction to "take fifteen minutes," and then began another routine part of the return process.

View the new messages received by each identity.

"Buzz--Buzz--"

Lin Yu had just taken out "Shen Bingmiao's Digital Urn" from his room and switched to the phone with "May May" on it when his hand was instantly shaken and went slightly numb.

One message after another came in, almost overwhelming Lin Yu's phone.

[DaShan: Brother, congratulations on officially joining "Order"! I saw the internal announcement; you've already been promoted to "Vice Captain" of Jiangcheng Team One right after joining! That's great! When do you have time to come to Yu Province? I'll treat you to an authentic Henan-style banquet to celebrate! [Image]]

[Gao Shan: Also, if you encounter any difficulties in Jiang City, you can tell me. Although our comrades are all good people, there may be frictions, and some comrades have rather eccentric personalities. In short, I have some influence with "Tycoon," so please don't hesitate to speak up if you encounter any problems.]

Lin Yu was deeply moved by Captain Shan's speech.

As expected, most people who value "Order" have relatively sound values.

After he saved Gao Shan, Gao Shan truly treated him as his benefactor and brother.

[AAA Good Night: Brother, I've secured a vice-captain position for you. Do a good job. You handled the Sea City matter brilliantly. Brother Hua and the higher-ups think highly of you. [Yellow Chicken Laughs] My promotion to regional Inspector depends entirely on Brother Lin!]

[AAA Good Night: [Share Video]]

[AAA Good Night: [Share Video]]

Good Night, his new boss, was obviously unpretentious and seemed very easygoing—otherwise, he wouldn't have sent more than ten messages, only one of which was work-related.

At first, Lin Yu thought the remaining videos were something else, but upon closer inspection, they were all videos of beautiful women that Good Night had transferred from short video platforms.

Lin Yu suddenly understood who Gao Shan was referring to when he said "some comrades have eccentric personalities".

Given his serious demeanor as "May May," Lin Yu figured that Gao Shan sent this message because he saw that he would be working under Good Night, and thus had unnecessary worries about a possible conflict Good Night.

[Sea City - Li Hua: The reporting process for both the "Carrot" and "Diviner" matters has been completed, and the higher-ups have given their approval. They are very satisfied with you, and the Forum Points reward has been issued. Remember to check it. The "Secretary" specifically instructed me to cultivate you, and since Good Night needed an assistant, I promoted you.]

[Sea City - Li Hua: The hair and skin tissue samples taken from "Carrot," his wallet, and the "Item" he left behind are already on their way. Originally, I was going to have "Nicholas" deliver them to you, but since someone from the East China District is being transferred to Central China, I had him take them instead. Also, some comrades within "Order," members of the "Player Mutual Aid Society," and other local organizations want to add you. I've already given them your contact information. Make sure you get in touch with them; it will help you carry out the work I've assigned you.]

Li Hua's messages remained relatively formal and official, a stark contrast to Good Night's.

Good Night consisted of a few serious matters mixed with a lot of useless information, while Li Hua's was all practical information and work-related discussions.

Lin Yu also remembered the request Li Hua had made of him...

"Should we uncover the destabilizing factors or even undercover agents hidden within the 'Order'?"

This is a long-term project, so there's no rush.

But now that Li Hua has emphasized it again, Lin Yu feels that he really needs to pay a little more attention.

Moreover, the messages sent by these three members of "Order" all stemmed from the same cause.

Lin Yu opened the "Order" work group and saw the latest transfer announcement document.

Even though the three of them had already spoiled the plot for him, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional looking at his own name on the list.

"So I've already become the vice-captain of 'Order'?"

Considering that Good Night will be promoted to the Captain General of Jiang City in the future... it seems that I might have to Team One Captain.

Although this transfer will inevitably make him more conspicuous...

But anyway, the identity of "May May" is already quite famous, and she is already at the "Tier 2".

This doesn't necessarily seem like a bad thing!
