• Lin Yu learned that answers omitting Dai Mubai's eventual godhood could also count as correct and realized the seized lifespan had earned him a fortune.

• Lin Yu realized influential people could use hired commoners to answer multiple-choice questions and claim rewards, undermining his advantage.
