"Slurp..."

After hearing Lin Yu's question, the octopus tentacles trembled, and Lin Yu then heard the words translated by the Hongmeng System, which echoed directly in his sea of consciousness.

"Master, you've already found all the places I discovered!"

The octopus tentacles' confident statement left Lin Yu speechless.

What does it mean to say, "The place I discovered, you've already discovered"?

So these octopus tentacles can't offer anything particularly novel?

Seeing Lin Yu's brows furrow again, the octopus tentacles immediately made another sound.

"Master, my primary function is communication, not detection. Even if you ask me, I don't know anything more!"

Well, this octopus tentacle is being wronged.

Lin Yu felt his head throb even more, so he asked, "Okay, then tell me how to connect with the eyes, that is, the God of Truth and Order."

Upon hearing this, the octopus tentacles immediately perked up, and its body twisted rapidly.

"Just tell me you need to contact the God of Truth and Order!"

Lin Yu: "..."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that it was so easy to contact him? You're asking for a beating, aren't you?" Lin Yu thought of how he had been at a loss earlier because he didn't know how to use the octopus tentacles, and his anger flared up.

It turns out this communication device is so easy to use; I've been struggling with it for so long.

Now it was the octopus tentacles' turn to feel aggrieved. "I didn't say anything because you didn't ask before, Master! Besides, you didn't even acknowledge me before!"

In the end, Lin Yu felt sorry for the octopus tentacles.

Indeed, when he first arrived in this fantasy universe, there were simply too many unknowns. Lin Yu was so busy that he had no time to worry about a communication device.

Moreover, at the very beginning, Lin Yu hadn't even developed the Vast Star, nor did he have any faith power at all.

The power left to Lin Yu by the god of disaster and fear is so limited that even Lin Yu has to use it sparingly.

The reason Lin Yu was able to communicate with the octopus tentacles using the Hongmeng System was because the Vast Star had developed rapidly in recent days, giving him some surplus power.

However, in the eyes of the octopus tentacles, it was simply that Lin Yu didn't want to talk to them.

Because Lin Yu is the God of Disaster and Fear, an existence on par with the God of Truth and Order, a superior being among superior beings, how could he not understand what I'm saying?

After a moment's thought, Lin Yu figured out the intricacies of the situation.

Unfortunately, because the octopus tentacles didn't know what form Lin Yu's power had been restricted/converted into, a strange misunderstanding arose between the two.

Lin Yu didn't intend to clear up this misunderstanding, because he felt there was no need to explain it to the octopus tentacles.

"Alright, let's forget about what happened before. Anyway, you'd better be on your guard from now on! If anything unusual happens, be sure to let me know immediately, understand?"

Lin Yu stared intently at the octopus tentacles. He hadn't forgotten that this heartless little guy had watched him being ambushed by Sannoh in the Heca World without uttering a sound.

Ever since the God of Truth and Order entrusted itself to Lin Yu, Lin Yu had never shown such a serious expression to it. The octopus tentacle suddenly felt that it was being valued, and the entire tentacle stood straight.

Lin Yu heard the octopus tentacles reply once again in his sea of consciousness, "Mission accomplished!"

"Alright, then you don't need to go out for the time being. Just stay by my side and stand guard for me," Lin Yu continued.

The octopus tentacles, which had been so proud and arrogant just moments before, immediately wilted upon hearing this, saying, "Master, don't worry, even if I go out to play, I won't neglect my post."

Seeing the octopus tentacles' listless appearance, Lin Yu immediately realized that the octopus tentacles' previous explanation was a lie. The idea that it was thrown out to play because it wasn't valued by him was just that the creature was inherently playful and wanted to go out on its own!

"Alright, stop trying to negotiate with me," Lin Yu said ruthlessly.

The octopus tentacles knew they had no right to negotiate with Lin Yu, so they listlessly wriggled a little, indicating to Lin Yu that they understood.

After resolving matters here, Lin Yu turned his attention to Sanok, who had been waiting nearby.

Sanok sensed Lin Yu's gaze and immediately dropped his dazed expression.

Sanok couldn't see the octopus tentacles, so in Sanok's eyes, Lin Yu's conversation with the octopus tentacles was just Lin Yu talking to himself.

However, this wasn't the first time Sanok had seen such a scene, so he stood quietly to the side, keeping his eyes down and not saying anything.

"Have all the surveillance cameras been turned off?" Lin Yu asked Sanok.

Sanok replied honestly, "Your Excellency, they have all been deactivated! All thirty-six surveillance devices have been removed."

Not only did he complete the demolition, but he even finished sorting the garbage right there.

I wonder what the hotel staff will think when they see all that trash.

Lin Yu nodded, but instead of immediately praising Sanok, he asked, "Are you sure it's all been cleared out?"

Sanok was like a primary school student suddenly called on by the teacher to answer a question. He was full of confidence in his answer, but Lin Yu's question made him hesitate instantly.

"Sanok had already checked every corner of the room..."

As he said this, Sanok's eyes darted around rapidly, afraid that he might have missed some details, so that he could quickly make amends.

Lin Yu didn't criticize Sanok too harshly. Although the creatures of the Hunter world were skilled in assassination and ambush, Sanok was ultimately just a novice warrior, so it was understandable that he might have overlooked something.

"This thing has a problem too." Lin Yu said, tossing a potted plant next to the TV into the trash can.

Sanok's eyes widened in shock. He had just searched the area, but his search had focused on the gaps between the television and the walls. He had seen the plant earlier, but hadn't noticed anything wrong with it.

"Don't let the fact that this is only a Tier 2 world fool you; the technology here isn't much behind your Hunter world. Besides basic surveillance cameras, we also have bio-monitoring devices."
