Sitting in the first-class seat on the high-speed train back, Lin Yu used his phone to review the compiled final exam PowerPoints.
Since the return trip wasn't particularly urgent, Li Hua had bought him the ticket—after all, it was 'Order' that had called him here, so reimbursing travel expenses was only natural.
As for Good Night, he had stayed in Haicheng—he planned to attend the 'auction' there while he was at it.
Although Radish had passed away, that didn't affect the auction's normal proceedings.
As for Lin Yu, he couldn't be bothered to join the hustle and bustle…
He had no ti, and no money either.
Furthermore, compared to matters on the 'Death Ga' side, Lin Yu was obviously more worried about the exams for the last two courses of the week.
His major courses were fine, but the philosophy general education course was a real headache for Lin Yu—a massive amount of content to morize, even more than this trip to Haicheng.
Linking the identities of "Lin Yu" and 'May May' certainly carried so risk, but Lin Yu understood that he couldn't hide forever either.
Now that he had so cards up his sleeve, perhaps appropriately "exposing" so of his unique aspects was also a good choice.
At the very least, the organization 'Order' currently seed trustworthy—not that their stance would necessarily align with his, but they were orderly and reliable.
Appropriately revealing so of his trump cards to 'Order' would very likely earn him attention and corresponding… protection.
Of course, the benefits weren't just on these levels.
After Lin Yu revealed the information about him being a 'Unique Class' to Li Hua, there were other gains as well.
As the high-speed train sped along the tracks, Lin Yu could feel powerful 'belief' pouring in, transforming his half-truth, half-lie into "truth".
"Now I can use both the 'Doctor' and 'Soldier' abilities, and because the identities of 'May May' and 'Lin Yu' are unified," Lin Yu let out a sigh, "I don't even need to use False Face for any disguise;
I can use the abilities of these two classes under any circumstances."
This was a huge boon for Lin Yu—although he knew his strength was improving, and with the increase in [items], his direct combat power was constantly growing.
But fundantally, having the permanent abilities of 'Soldier' and 'Doctor' undoubtedly raised his baseline.
Even when encountering routine battles, fighting against ordinary-level players and regular monsters in dungeons, he wouldn't have to consu his buffs every single ti now.
[Miserly Wealthy One] had less than eight hours left, [Closed Mind] less than ten hours.
[Ice Blessing] only had its final 30 minutes.
The probability of regular food from daily als producing good buff effects was really not high;
it was best if these three buffs could be preserved.
Of course, the most important thing was…
"To get this kind of baseline improvent before the 'Second Tier' promotion dungeon… that's still pretty good luck…"
This was probably because he encountered too many unlucky things in dungeons on a daily basis, so his luck balanced out in other areas, keeping his overall luck constant!
Lin Yu remained relatively optimistic.
After all, his phone still had the simple introduction to the 'Second Tier' dungeon he had gleaned from the 'Order' work group chat.
The 'Promotion Trial' for 'Second Tier' and 'First-Tier' was roughly similar, but there were differences.
Typically…
The 'Second Tier' 'Promotion Trial' would consist of two consecutive tasks.
The first task was like the 'First-Tier' 'Promotion Trial', rged into a normal dungeon, requiring the fulfillnt of so additional conditions.
The difference was that after completing those conditions, clearing the dungeon, and entering the [Settlent Space], the 'Promotion' would not be directly completed.
Instead, the latter half of the 'Promotion Trial' would be unlocked—the 'Player' would then open a separate [personal dungeon].
This was a dungeon participated in by only one person, with no help from any other players, no preparation ti beforehand, and usually very high difficulty.
As long as the first half was completed, the player would definitely proceed to the second stage's [personal dungeon].
The only good news was that this [personal dungeon] would have a "clear condition" that was relatively easy to achieve, aning players did have the right to give up midway.
However, after giving up, the next 'Promotion Trial' would start from the first half again, and the [personal dungeon] would also be different from the last ti.
Moreover, the guide emphasized that the "clear condition" of the [personal dungeon] was only "relatively easy".
In other words, it was simple relative to completing the promotion, but compared to ordinary dungeons, it was still a bit more dangerous.
Therefore, the suggestion given by this guide was…
"If you're not absolutely certain, it's best to directly abandon completing the 'prerequisite conditions' and ignore the first half of the 'Promotion Trial' altogether, to avoid entering the [personal dungeon] and regretting it when it's too late."
"Generally speaking, if completing the first half is already a struggle, requiring heavy use of consumables or even using most of your trump cards, then don't attempt it."
Lin Yu silently committed this to mory.
However, he wouldn't overestimate himself—this was only his seventh dungeon;
normal players… no, even so-called talented players would only just be starting the 'First-Tier' trial around this dungeon!
While getting stronger quickly was important, he couldn't let the desire for strength blind him or be too reckless—becoming stronger was to survive;
if taking greater risks for the sake of strength led to dying before even achieving anything…
Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
Lin Yu happened to be reviewing the section on "contradictions" at that mont.
"Never thought the content on 'primary and secondary contradictions' would actually have real practical guiding significance… didn't realize it back in high school when morizing."
He silently reflected.
Probably because his high school self hadn't faced such a cruel reality yet.
Although normally, a college student shouldn't face this kind of cruelty either.
Amid endless recitation and morization, the train soon arrived at the station.
After exiting the station, Lin Yu briefly hesitated before choosing to return to campus over going ho.
On one hand, returning to school ant he could study in the library.
The library had a good study atmosphere;
efficiency for reviewing, especially morizing, would be higher.
On the other hand…
Lin Yu took out his phone and sent a ssage to Shen Bingmiao.
[Double Wood: President, are you at school?]
[Double Wood: I'm back from Haicheng, have so things I want to ask you]
[Double Wood: It's about matters on the ga side]
"I really hope you can give a reasonable explanation… President."
Lin Yu said with a sigh.
