Lin Yu went to find Li Nian, partly to inform this connection and mouthpiece between him and the Free Alliance that he had now joined the Psychological Society, and the plan was underway.

On the other hand...

Lin Yu also wanted to cross-verify the information he had just heard from Order.

And Li Nian's explanation was indeed quite similar.

"There's an unspeakable, unimaginable horror in this city that can't even be mentioned. I can only tell you it's roughly related to the forum, beyond that I don't know either."

Lin Yu got the answer he wanted.

And since the time for pretending to examine the dog was about up, Lin Yu gave the conclusion that "the dog is fine" and once again swaggered out of Li Nian's home.

This home visit gave Lin Yu an unexpected gain.

"Li Nian seems quite... reverent and fearful toward her parents."

He originally thought her family was relatively relaxed and hands-off, but now it seemed that although Li Nian's father appeared very gentle, he actually held absolute authority at home.

This not only greatly deepened his understanding of "Xia Yue."

He also filled in quite a bit about "Li Nian's" character profile.

"Maybe if I encounter troublesome situations in the future, I could borrow her identity to use..."

Lin Yu thought to himself.

If he needed Thief abilities, he already had the "Old Yao" identity.

If he were to use Li Nian's identity, it would definitely be for her status as a Free Alliance member and her reputation as a Master Thief!

As for whether it would cause trouble for Li Nian...

Although their relationship had somewhat become half-partners by now, Lin Yu still didn't mind much if this girl suffered a bit.

Even though it was intentional and he returned it afterward, this little rascal did actually steal his bicycle!

She'll cause trouble herself anyway.

Lin Yu thought without any psychological burden.

After leaving Li Nian's home, Lin Yu temporarily had nothing else to do.

"Zhu Ming" had joined the Psychological Society, "May May" had joined Order - Lin Yu's operation this time could be considered complete.

Next...

He needed to hurry up and review.

There were two more exams on Monday and Tuesday!

President Shen Bingmiao had said there would be many performance opportunities during summer vacation.

Although after joining the Death Game, Lin Yu was practically forced to perform every day, honing his acting skills on the spot.

He still wanted to perform on stage and systematically learn more acting techniques.

After returning home, Lin Yu was surprised to discover...

Even though it was clearly a weekend afternoon, Lin Zhao seemed to be home.

When he left in the morning, the living room window was open, but now it was closed.

"Huh? Sister, you're home?"

As he spoke, Lin Zhao came out of the kitchen wiping her hands: "Yes, I'm back!"

"Not opening the shop today?"

Although Lin Yu often wished his sister would rest more, seeing his always-busy sister actually resting at home still surprised him.

Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Not opening today, since you're almost done with finals, I'm making something to nourish your brain and body."

Lin Yu sniffed hard - the air indeed carried the fragrance of stewed fish.

He loved eating fish.

However, Lin Yu couldn't help but complain: "Sis, since you rarely close the shop, you should at least rest instead of still being busy at home..."

"This is just finals, not the college entrance exam!"

Lin Zhao put her hands on her hips: "So finals aren't important?"

"Picking on my words isn't fun, did I say finals aren't important?"

Lin Yu defended helplessly.

"Ah, it's just that I've seen you running out so much recently, unlike previous semesters," Lin Zhao waved her hand, "Both earning money and managing studies, I'm being considerate of you."

"And..."

Lin Zhao pointed to the shelf nearby.

There was a paper bag placed there.

Lin Yu was somewhat stunned.

"Huh? What's this?"

"Your classmate, the drama club president, came by," Lin Zhao said with a smile, "Said it was sponsored phones, everyone in the drama club gets one... Then she told me to keep an eye on your studies, absolutely don't let you fail, said you have very important touring performances this summer."

"Ah, your president is so sweet-talking, calling me sister this and sister that, even complimented me on looking young and gave me skincare products..."

Looking at Lin Zhao's beaming face, Lin Yu could roughly imagine how Shen Bingmiao had charmed his sister.

"Senior really does have high emotional intelligence."

Then, Lin Yu picked up the paper bag and went into his room.

"Said there wasn't a phone for me, but there actually is?"

Lin Yu took out the phone box from the paper bag.

"Latest model FruitPhone... and the top-tier ProMax version too."

Lin Yu looked at the box with some emotion.

There was a sticky note attached to the box.

"To my dearest 'Ace' - yours definitely has to be two levels higher than theirs

w

"

Looking at Shen Bingmiao's scribbled handwriting and emoji doodle, Lin Yu curled his lip.

"So she was afraid differential treatment would cause dissatisfaction among others."

Although what he told his sister about "high emotional intelligence" was somewhat joking, now Lin Yu had to admit...

Shen Bingmiao's approach was indeed high emotional intelligence.

"This is way too extravagant."

He opened the phone's outer packaging box, but then Lin Yu realized something was wrong...

This wasn't just two levels higher.

The phone inside the box was completely transparent in appearance... it looked almost like something from the future.

Or...

maybe it was just a glass slab?

"What is this?"

Lin Yu curiously picked up that phone, and then before his eyes popped up...

An item prompt.

[Item·Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin, Bound!]

[Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin: Hey there, feed me your electronic products and other items!]

[Description: Created by a certain god unwilling to reveal their identity, a growth-type item, currently nothing particularly special.]

[Note: Attention, it will forage on its own!]

Looking at this [Item] with its three-line blood text introduction, Lin Yu realized...

"Senior, you're truly generous!"

This wasn't just an [Item] that simultaneously had both [Description] and [Note]!

And within the three lines of description, it even revealed this thing was created by a god and had growth potential.

The value of this thing...

Lin Yu felt it might be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of... points!

He only felt his scalp tingling.

"My dear Senior Shen Bingmiao, just who exactly are you?"

This was absolutely not something a Third Tier player could casually take out and simply give away!

Although those powerful Third Tier players Lin Yu had seen also had items that looked very valuable, like Fish's dual pistols, Li Hua's dice, Phantom's top hat...

They would never use those things as gifts.

After thinking, Lin Yu picked up his phone and sent a message to his senior.

"What kind of thing did you give me?"

But before he could wait for Shen Bingmiao's reply...

That transparent glass slab on his desk suddenly generated a huge suction force, pulling his phone over!
