After leaving Xia Yue's home, standing downstairs of her building, Lin Yu let out a sigh.

"Good, I've gathered a lot of material this time... and obtained something crucial."

He murmured to himself, pulling Xia Yue's phone from his pocket.

Xia Yang was a very sensible child—after accepting Lin Yu's phone, she chose to give him her sister's keepsake, the phone Xia Yue had left behind.

"This should be enough to report back."

He said with feigned casualness, then left Beiqiao District.

And after leaving Beiqiao District...

Lin Yu took numerous twists and turns around Jiangcheng City for a long time, only relaxing completely after confirming there was no further surveillance.

Visiting Xia Yue's family, on one hand, was indeed to gather material...

On the other hand, Lin Yu also wanted to confirm something.

"As expected, as 'Zhu Ming' gradually gains fame, plus my deliberate guidance... there are many people watching Xia Yue's side."

"The fact that the body situation hasn't been exposed yet probably means either the Night Watchmen or Order intervened."

In a relatively safe, secluded alley, Lin Yu let out another sigh.

His final performance downstairs was also deliberately for those hidden observers.

He just didn't know whether they were from the Psychological Society or Order.

Or perhaps... both.

Lin Yu took out Zhu Ming's tablet.

【Rosenthal: We observed that a player visited your family. Do you need help?】

Looking at this message, Lin Yu wasn't surprised.

As expected, the Psychological Society was keeping watch...

【Clozapine: That's my friend. I asked him to go. It's fine.】

Afterwards, Lin Yu put away the tablet and took out May May's phone.

There was a message from High Mountain.

【High Mountain: The organization's review process is basically complete. You can report to the organization in Jiangcheng.】

【High Mountain: I'll send you the location!】

It must be said, ever since he voluntarily stayed behind during the encounter with the Free Alliance last time, High Mountain's favorability toward his May May identity had greatly increased.

Logically speaking, as a captain from Zheng City, he definitely shouldn't be responsible for these matters.

High Mountain must have taken the initiative to care.

When Lin Yu clicked on the location message, he was somewhat surprised.

【May May: Order's Jiangcheng headquarters is at Jiangcheng Central Hospital?】

【High Mountain: No, the newly appointed first squad captain is seriously injured and currently hospitalized.】

【High Mountain: To prevent anyone from taking advantage to kill him, the second and third squad captains are currently accompanying him at the hospital... so if you go to Jiangcheng headquarters, you won't find anyone.】

【High Mountain: I've already made arrangements. You can go directly!】

As High Mountain spoke, Lin Yu roughly understood the situation.

"The newly appointed first squad captain, isn't that the lolicon Korean uncle?"

"How did he get seriously injured?"

Lin Yu pondered but still went to find a gift shop to buy a fruit basket, then took a taxi to Central Hospital.

After arriving at the front desk, Lin Yu found himself in a dilemma.

"Wait, what's Good Night's real name?"

But he quickly thought of a solution.

"Hello, I'm here to visit a patient. He's my online friend. I only know he's Korean, a man in his thirties, and should be receiving inpatient treatment."

"Oh, in Room 302 on the third floor of the inpatient building? Thank you!"

Successfully obtaining Good Night's room number from the front desk, Lin Yu found the room.

"Still a single room, huh."

Marveling at Order's benefits, Lin Yu knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

A vigorous response came from inside. Lin Yu pushed the door open.

In the clean, simple hospital room, Good Night lay on the bed, basically wrapped in bandages with only his head visible, receiving an IV drip pitifully.

Beside him, two men and one woman were watching a televised soccer match.

Lin Yu had seen one man and the woman before—they were the two captains of Order's Jiangcheng branch.

Both had also seen Lin Yu during Li Hua's operation meeting and nodded slightly in greeting.

As for the remaining man accompanying them...

Lin Yu still recognized him.

It was Tycoon.

Why was this guy here too?

Suppressing his curiosity, Lin Yu greeted everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm May May."

Seeing it was Lin Yu who entered, all three stood up to welcome him.

The man who looked simple and efficient was the captain of Order's Jiangcheng second squad. He greeted Lin Yu first.

"Captain High Mountain has already told us everything. The organization's documents have been approved. Although your equipment hasn't arrived yet, you're now considered part of Order."

"I welcome you to Order on behalf of the organization—this should originally be done by Captain Good Night, but as you can see, his situation is special."

Lin Yu looked serious: "Understood."

He placed the fruit basket on the table, then began coordinating with this second squad captain.

Lin Yu and him scanned codes to add each other as friends, then the second squad captain added Lin Yu to two work group chats.

One was "Jiangcheng Order Branch" with 52 members.

The other was "Jiangcheng Order First Squad" with 11 members.

Jiangcheng had three squads total, each with 7 formal members including the captain, plus 4 backup members specifically responsible for logistics and reserves.

"Your dungeon is on Tuesday, right? Remember to check in with the group immediately after completing your weekly dungeon to report you're safe. Also, if you have any major gains or discoveries, be sure to report them immediately."

"Always pay attention to mission announcements posted in the group. Also, if you encounter dangerous individuals, report them to the organization."

"As a member of Order, you must take on responsibilities and obligations... Of course, we won't make you do these things for nothing."

"Our organization can arrange work for you, reimburse travel expenses, and if you encounter overly difficult dungeons or situations, you can seek help from within the organization."

"On the 2nd of each month, you can go to the logistics department at each city's headquarters to collect cash living allowances and forum point subsidies. You can also get one free copy each of the items [Recovery Potion], [Enhancement Potion], and [Spell Scroll], which you can also purchase directly with points—at internal prices."

"Of course, since you're joining Order directly as a formal squad member, you can additionally receive a set including [Melee Weapon], [Basic Armor], and [Detection Equipment]."

Listening to what the second squad captain said, Lin Yu felt somewhat dizzy.

He finally understood why Order was the most influential organization among players.

With these benefits, this foundation...

Lin Yu could only say...

"I'm also honored to join Order!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, the second squad captain smiled.

"Good, then from now on we're all one family."

"Family shouldn't speak like strangers... Although you have Brother High Mountain's recommendation, headquarters found some things during the background check."

"May May, aren't you somewhat overly close with a player who joined the Psychological Society?"

"There was just intelligence saying you even went to that player's home, is that right?"
