Because the octopus tentacles were constantly wriggling on Lin Yu 'Lin Yu thinking, he casually grabbed a drink from the side of the table and handed it to the little guy.

Although the octopus tentacles didn't have mouths, they were covered with enough suckers to suck up the drinks. After sensing Lin Yu's movements, it became extremely excited and its entire tentacle burrowed towards the beverage.

However, before Lin Yu could calm down for even a moment, the octopus's tentacles suddenly yanked out of the beverage bottle, its entire body still trembling uncontrollably, as if it had drunk some kind of poison.

The octopus tentacles' reaction made Lin Yu frown slightly. Could there be something wrong with this drink?

But Lin Yu himself opened the bottle of beverage, and he didn't feel that it had been unscrewed, which means that nothing should have been added to it.

But why are these octopus tentacles reacting like this?

Lin Yu looked at the drink in his hand with a hint of doubt, and summoned the Hongmeng System: "System, deduce the ingredients of this drink."

"Ding! Calculation in progress... Calculation complete! Host, the main ingredients in the beverage are: water, tea leaves, erythritol, vitamin C, sodium bicarbonate..."

Lin Yu glanced at the main ingredients of the drink and felt there was nothing wrong with it; it was just an ordinary beverage, tea. However, looking at the octopus tentacles twitching incessantly, it didn't seem to be playing a trick on him.

Lin Yu was utterly bewildered. Surely the octopus tentacles wouldn't be playing such a cruel joke on him?

Lin Yu looked at the drink in his hand with some skepticism, then took a sip.

"It seems to be just ordinary tea, nothing strange about it."

After taking a sip, Lin Yu still felt nothing. The Hongmeng System the drink and found no toxic ingredients.

Furthermore, even if those people who were exiled to the world really wanted to do something to me, they would never choose to poison my drink.

Compared to this method, the creatures in the exiled world could choose a more discreet and efficient way to deal with Lin Yu.

"System, translate what this octopus tentacle is muttering." Lin Yu summoned the system again.

Three minutes had passed, and the octopus tentacles were still twitching and writhing, causing Lin Yu to frown even more deeply.

"Ding! Language translation in progress... Translation complete! Real-time translation as follows:"

With a notification from the Hongmeng System, the words spoken by the octopus tentacles were accurately translated into Lin Yu's mind.

"It tastes absolutely awful, ugh..."

"Master/Great Lord, are you getting revenge on me? You actually forced me to drink this awful stuff!"

"My God, how did you manage to drink this, Master/Master?!"

Lin Yu: "..."

After hearing the octopus tentacles' thoughts, Lin Yu almost had two veins pop out on his forehead. He had been so worried about the octopus tentacles' condition, but it turned out that the little guy simply didn't like drinking tea or beverages!

Lin Yu suppressed his temper and slapped the octopus tentacle, but still couldn't help saying, "What an ungrateful bastard! You're not happy even when I offer you a drink. In that case, go play somewhere else!"

The octopus tentacle, having been slapped by Lin Yu, could only wriggle off his shoulder in a wronged manner, slowly sliding down Lin Yu's body, and hiding in a corner of the room, questioning its "life".

It simply couldn't understand why its owner/master could drink something it found so awful with such relish!

With this little incident, the tension that had just built up in Lin Yu's heart vanished.

"System, this exiled world is very strange. Have you noticed any useful information?"

The Hongmeng System replied with some regret, "I'm very sorry, host. I currently have very little energy available. I can only sense that the atmosphere of the exiled world is rather strange, but I haven't yet investigated the specific issues."

Lin Yu knew that the main reason why the Hongmeng System could not exert its maximum investigative capabilities was because of him.

He didn't have much power left, and in order to improve his strength as quickly as possible, he allocated most of it to the cosmic sandbox to operate the world within it. The power left for the Hongmeng System was far too little.

Even the Hongmeng System would be subject to considerable limitations under such circumstances, and the information that could be obtained would naturally be very limited.

Before he knew it, Sanok had completely removed most of the hidden cameras in the suite, and now he was holding a pile of broken camera parts.

Once Sanok discovers these cameras, their only fate is to crush them.

And believe it or not, there were so many hidden cameras in this suite, some in very well concealed locations. If it weren't for a "professional" like Sannock, it's highly likely that they wouldn't have been discovered at all.

After Sanok packed up and threw away the pile of parts he was carrying, he still had something in his hand. Lin Yu looked closely and found that it was a notebook.

"Where did this come from?" Lin Yu took the notebook from Sanok, flipped through it, and it looked very ordinary.

Apart from the somewhat worn cover, this notebook seemed to have nothing particularly special about it.

Sanok replied honestly, "Master, it was found through a crack in the bed over there. The crack was very narrow; if there hadn't been a camera nearby, I probably wouldn't have been able to find the notebook."

Lin Yu nodded upon hearing this. Since it was found in such a hidden place, this notebook must have something special about it.

With a touch of curiosity, Lin Yu officially opened the notebook and began browsing through it at lightning speed.

You wouldn't know until you open it; the notebook actually contains a diary, clearly indicating the year, date, and weather. And the very first entry seems to have already laid the foundation for its incredibly melodramatic content:

Year 518/9, Month XX, Day XX, Sunny.

Hollodis, I'm sorry, I've fallen in love with your girlfriend. She's so beautiful, so alluring; it's as if all the beautiful words in the world were created for her. We all like her very much, but I know that my feelings for her aren't the same as the feelings I have for a friend. In short, I'm completely captivated by her tenderness. Hollodis, I'm so sorry...
