The Strategy for Completing the Mission
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Sister Hua was somewhat puzzled.
Where did this saying come from?
Lin Yu looked at Sister Hua and asked, "Sister Hua, have you gotten the 'Map'?"
"No, why do you have Map?"
Sister Hua said, somewhat bewildered.
Lin Yu understood.
Sure enough, not every Player received the Map Item that the Rough Uncle gave them.
"I got a Map from the initial NPC," Lin Yu said, pulling the Map out of his pocket. "It shows the number of 'outposts'."
As Lin Yu spoke, he showed Sister Hua the Map.
"This shows the number of 'outposts'... Look, there are almost 100 outposts."
"So, although we are restricted by the monsters from 'moving together,' the abundance of resources means there is no absolute competition between us."
Lin Yu said solemnly.
"I know you still think that you should keep the Item for yourself first... but the fact that you haven't gone to get them yet means that those Item must be hard to get, right?"
"As a soldier, I'm physically very strong, so if you trust me, why don't you tell me about one or two of the Item? If I get a chance to get them, I'll bring them to you!"
This candid attitude and these words touched Sister Hua, who was already quite enthusiastic.
"Young man, you make a good point—here's what I'll tell you first, the one that should be most useful to you."
Sister Hua spoke, she pointed to due north.
"Walk about three kilometers over there, and you'll find Item called a [Black Oil Torch] buried under a rock. That thing will never go out, and it provides a constant warmth and light."
"With that thing in hand, even if I'm out at night, it seems like I won't be targeted by monsters."
After making up her mind, Sister Hua became much more decisive.
She told Lin Yu all the details about an Item.
Lin Yu nodded knowingly.
"Understood. If I obtain it, I will return to help you gather some supplies as a reward."
He said with a smile.
Afterwards, Lin Yu waved goodbye to Sister Hua.
"Alright, Sister Hua —since an NPC has already emphasized this, let's not stay together for too long!"
As Lin Yu spoke, Sister Hua nodded.
"Okay, A Long, be careful on the road!"
Sister Hua waved her hand.
Then, Lin Yu walked into the snowstorm.
With the five-fold physical enhancement from being a "soldier," and the continued boost from Deception the Rough Uncle, Lin Yu's movement speed increased even further.
His physical strength and endurance have greatly improved, so he doesn't feel tired at all.
Even in the midst of a blizzard in the mountains, Lin Yu could truly "walk on flat ground".
Moreover, based on his previous experience of finding Sister Hua, Lin Yu believed that his analysis of the Map was reasonable!
So, he immediately headed to the next "fan-shaped area".
After finding two more strongholds around the "central point" stronghold...
Lin Yu was not surprised to find a young man sweeping snow back and forth with a large broom.
Seeing the figure rapidly approaching through the wind and snow, the young man adopted the same defensive stance as Sister Hua.
Wow! Who is it?!
Lin Yu looked at the somewhat chubby man wearing a white down jacket that resembled a Michelin Man and coughed lightly.
"Player, a Player!"
Even after hearing Lin Yu identify himself as Player, the man in the white down jacket remained wary.
"Player? So you're trying to steal my firewood!"
"Don't mention it, bro, how could I steal your firewood?" Lin Yu said with a smile. "I'm just looking for a 'base'—my forum ID is 'Yong Ai Xiao Ai,' and my Profession is 'Otaku.'"
"What kind of threat can the Profession of 'Otaku' pose? Besides, I'm an 'Otaku' myself, don't you believe I'm innocent and kind?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the man in the white down jacket indeed relaxed his guard considerably.
"Oh, so you're a 'Otaku'," the man in the white down jacket nodded. "You scared me... Seeing you running so fast in the Snowfield, I thought you were a monster... My ID is 'Dolphin,' my Profession is 'Student,' and I've cleared six Instance —how many have you cleared? Yong Ai Xiao Ai."
As the man in the white down jacket spoke, Lin Yu casually remarked.
"You're one less than Dolphin Bro, this is my fifth Instance."
"Speaking of which, Dolphin Bro, where did you get this broom?"
Lin Yu said with great enthusiasm.
The dolphin scratched its head. "I asked the NPC for it at the beginning of the game. It makes it easier to find things buried under the snow. He also gave me some food and water, and pointed out the locations of a few outposts."
"After all, I'm a 'student,' so I got these things after activating my ability."
Lin Yu suddenly realized, "Brother Dolphin, you're so decisive! You activated your ability right away and got so much at once. This is the first time I've seen someone use the 'Student' ability so well!"
"I think you've got this Instance in the bag."
After being praised by Lin Yu, the dolphin felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh, not at all. I was just worried that if he left, there wouldn't be any NPCs left, and I wouldn't be able to use this ability anymore..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"You, this 'Otaku,' should be pretty much set," Dolphin said kindly, looking at Lin Yu. "After all, this kind of survival-focused Instance is perfect for 'Otaku'... If you're looking for a base, I suggest you head east."
"He pointed out a few outposts to me back then. There are two more over there. Go check them out!"
The dolphin said with some regret.
"It's a pity that the monsters in this Instance seem to target people who 'group up,' otherwise I really want to team up with you."
Hearing the dolphin say that, Lin Yu echoed it.
"Yes, Dolphin Bro, what a pity!"
"I won't linger any longer. We're both completely Combat Power; it wouldn't be good if we encountered monsters."
Lin Yu spoke sincerely, then turned and walked away into the wind and snow.
Feeling the influx of "belief" and the "Make It Real" of the scam, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, as expected, this 'Rank Advancement Mission' is practically a tutorial on advanced techniques for the 'Fraudster' Profession."
At this moment, Lin Yu discovered the power of his Unique Profession as a "Fraudster".
Because...
He now possesses the abilities of both a "soldier" and a "Otaku."
Simply stop walking, and your strength will recover quickly.
Two lies that are "absolutely contradictory" can still work simultaneously as long as they are not exposed!
This is Lin Yu's strategy for completing his first Rank Advancement Mission.
All you need to do is tell each person a different "identity"!
If it takes effect, it doesn't just mean that Lin Yu can complete the Rank Advancement Mission...
Moreover, he can obtain twelve different identity Profession in this Game!
