"A qualitative change...?"

Lin Yu's expression shifted slightly upon hearing the Tycoon's words.

In the previous Instance, neither "A Nian" nor "Heavenly Artisan" made much use of their Profession abilities.

Not to mention the abilities after "Tier Advancement", he barely used even his original "thief" and "craftsman" abilities.

Based solely on the Tycoon's statement, Lin Yu could still imagine that Player had completed the "Tier Advancement" did indeed have a significant advantage over ordinary Player.

Seeing Lin Yu's thoughtful expression, the Tycoon laughed.

"Alright, there's no need to be too ambitious. After all, the day you 'Tier Advancement' is still a long way off!"

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised as the Tycoon spoke.

Very early?

I'm supposed to be "Tier Advancement" next week!

However, Lin Yu remained outwardly calm and composed.

"Really? How much longer?"

The Tycoon chuckled upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

"Typically, Player will encounter their first 'Tier Advancement' Instance around the ninth or tenth Instance... This depends on their performance in previous Instance!"

"When the 'Death game' deems you ready, it will unlock the 'Tier Advancement' Instance for you."

"The person with higher potential is ninth, and the one with slightly less potential is tenth."

"Of course, there are also a few with great potential who have shown their talent; they will receive the 'Tier Advancement' notification after the eighth Instance."

"A very small number of geniuses will unlock the ' Tier Advancement on the seventh Instance!"

The Tycoon said, looking at Lin Yu, "To be honest, I don't think you should be dragging this out to the ninth or tenth Instance!"

"Even if you are a genius and become the seventh person to qualify for 'Tier Advancement'... that's still a month away, no rush."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "That's true."

But he was utterly shocked.

He didn't just fail to drag it out until the ninth or tenth...

Judging from the Tycoon's tone, the seventh person to "Tier Advancement" in the Instance is already extremely rare...

This is his third!

Lin Yu immediately made up his mind: this matter absolutely had to be kept a secret!

As a newcomer, he has already been targeted by three very ominous organizations. If he were to reveal any of his special abilities, he might never have a moment's peace again!

Some people are born to love being in the spotlight, and can thrive even in dangerous situations.

But Lin Yu is not.

Aside from enjoying the spotlight during performances, he maintains a very low profile in his daily life.

Moreover, the Player and organizations behind these "Death game" are all more insane than the last, and Lin Yu doesn't want to attract too much attention from them.

Therefore, Lin Yu coughed lightly.

"Alright, it seems there's no rush to worry about this... But I'm curious, you just said the 'Tier Advancement' quest is optional—so, what happens if you don't do it?"

"Oh, nothing much," the Tycoon said, taking a sip of tea and smacking his lips. "It just means there will be another one after ten Instance... So, many people don't complete the 'Tier Advancement' the first time, and even those who manage to 'Tier Advancement' on their second try are few and far between!"

"Of course, even if you don't do the 'Tier Advancement' quest, the 'Tier Advancement' quest itself will make your Instance more difficult... Being able to survive is a kind of strength in itself."

At this point, the Tycoon laughed.

"This is why there's so little information and guides about 'Tier Advancement' on the forums; it's a kind of tacit understanding between different organizations."

Lin Yu also picked up his teacup and took a sip.

What do you mean?

The Tycoon laughed.

"You've been on the forums, so you should know that although there are many 'Profession' in the Death game, if you exclude those extremely special 'Unique Profession'... there are actually no more than a hundred known Profession!"

"While some of these Profession are not Unique Profession and are relatively rare... if you remove those, there are actually only about fifty common Profession!"

Lin Yu nodded slightly.

In the past week, he has memorized nearly fifty common Profession and more than twenty less common Profession.

The Tycoon understood things better than the average Newcomer Player.

The Tycoon's words gave Lin Yu a vague understanding.

"So... could it be that 'Tier Advancement' quests for the same Profession have strong similarities?"

As Lin Yu spoke, the Tycoon laughed.

"Yes, while the 'Tier Advancement' quests may be slightly adjusted depending on the next Instance, the quests for the same Profession are generally quite similar. Therefore, many organizations have a wealth of experience in 'surviving the Tier Advancement Instance's and 'completing the Rank Advancement Mission '."

"Therefore, the best way for Player of average skill to survive the 'Tier Advancement' Instance is to join an organization," the Tycoon said calmly. "After joining an organization, you can gain experience on how to survive, and even enjoy the service of experienced veterans within the organization 'helping you pass the Tier Advancement Instance's at a fairly discounted price. In some large organizations, such as 'Order,' this is even a free benefit; you only need to pay the cost price of the 'team-up Item '!"

"Highly skilled and ambitious Player who want to 'complete the Rank Advancement Mission's as early and safely as possible can also gain a lot of useful experience. Although the 'Tier Advancement' quest cannot be completed once in a team and cannot rely on 'organizations' for help in Instance, the 'experience' and 'guidance' outside of Instance are still invaluable!"

"Moreover, each Profession will branch into two different branches after 'Tier Advancement'... Knowing which branch to choose is also valuable information for Player who want to advance further."

Lin Yu understood after the Tycoon finished speaking.

"I understand, thank you!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he understood the Tycoon's purpose.

Ever since last time, Lin Yu could sense that this uncle...

It seems they're trying to win me over and recruit me.

Moreover, through these inquiries, Lin Yu not only obtained a lot of information about the Death game and the current situation of the Player, but also confirmed one thing.

This "Tycoon" is definitely a man of great experience and knowledge.

They even had some knowledge of the "Psychology Society".

So...

Did the other person recognize the business card?

Recalling the Tycoon's Microexpressions at the time... Although this seasoned and shrewd uncle was a very good actor, no trace of "acting" could escape Lin Yu's eyes.

The other party definitely recognized where the business card came from.

Therefore, he knew from the beginning that he was being targeted by the "Psychology Society"!

Moreover, given this man's level of understanding of the "Psychology Society," he likely knows that the "Psychology Society" is targeting newcomers, probably because the newcomers have high "potential"!

However, given that the "Tycoon's " goodwill was genuine, Lin Yu simply didn't expose him.

However, he was still somewhat curious about the Tycoon's purpose.

And just now...

During this self-introduction, the Tycoon mentioned his own organization, "Jiang'an Hall," which made Lin Yu understand completely.

This guy definitely wants me to join his organization.

Sure enough, the Tycoon coughed lightly and spoke.

"Ahem, brother, to be frank, I'm not going to stand on ceremony with you. I'll speak frankly and openly!"

"I hope you will join our 'Jiang'an Hall'!"
