Although the trio had left the "instance" earlier than Lin Yu, just as he predicted, the exit ti from the [instance] wouldn't affect the [Settlent Space]. They still entered the [Settlent Space] simultaneously with him - after all, the remaining three also seed to have just regained their senses.
"Heavenly Artisan" looked around blankly, noticed soone was missing, saw the bloodstains on "April," and gazed at her with interest. "Heh, didn't expect this. After playing nice the whole ga, soone actually died at the end... and it's 'lovers turning against each other.'"
"April" coldly stared at "Heavenly Artisan": "None of your damn business."
Having heard of "Heavenly Artisan's" reputation earlier, "April" had been sowhat afraid of this mber of the [Marauders]. But after killing "Number Eight," April's personality seed to have undergone so changes.
"Heavenly Artisan," choked by "April's" retort, helplessly raised his hands. "Alright, alright... my bad. This probably isn't a pleasant mory."
Lin Yu then looked at "Unforgotten." Having confird this person was from the [Free Alliance], Lin Yu naturally needed to reinforce his persona more. "Tch, what a sha I couldn't leave you completely in that instance this ti." Lin Yu put on an expression of dissatisfaction and indignation as he looked at "Unforgotten."
"Unforgotten" smiled: "Oh? Didn't you have fun? The [Death Ga] is just a 'ga'... enjoying it is what matters most, isn't it?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "I can't enjoy that kind of ga. I just think the further away I stay from lunatics like you... the better." He said with a headache.
"Unforgotten" burst out laughing. "What a pity, you've already caught my attention - I said I'd pester you even more intensely."
Lin Yu coldly threatened: "Next ti we et, I might just kill you."
"Then I'll be... eagerly waiting!" "Unforgotten" laughed heartily.
Then...
The settlent ti ended.
Lin Yu returned to reality once more - opening his eyes, he woke up in that enormous wooden bathtub. "Splash!" Lin Yu stood up from the still-warm water in the tub, droplets rolling off his clean skin.
Through the conversation in the Settlent Space, Lin Yu roughly understood one thing. "Unforgotten's" evaluation of him was likely "qualified." Even though he'd acted "vengeful, impulsive, and scheming," even showing obvious "hostility" toward "Unforgotten"... the other party still seed to consider him "qualified."
The reason was probably the abilities he'd displayed in the previous instance. "So the [Free Alliance] probably selects mbers based solely on 'potential,' not caring much about relationships between mbers or their personalities." "This suggests either the organization is as loose as its na implies..." "Or its administrators are confident in resolving conflicts between mbers." Lin Yu thought to himself.
Anyway, this [Free Alliance] was truly as bad as the [Psychological Society], having good reason to be banned from the forum. But Lin Yu felt the [Free Alliance] was slightly better for now. At least "Unforgotten" hadn't actually hard him - whereas that mysterious junior girl from the [Psychological Society] had genuinely shot him dead.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu rubbed his chin. The reactions of other players in this ga also revealed sothing. "The 'forum' really does seem like a trustworthy organization..." After all, even "Heavenly Artisan" and "Unforgotten," who weren't allowed on the "forum," had initially fabricated forum IDs. And when "April" and "Number Eight" heard "Heavenly Artisan's" forum-banned na, they imdiately beca wary and guarded against him. Even "Heavenly Artisan" himself didn't dispute anything.
This indicated that the [forum] should be a highly credible and authoritative organization among most players. Previously, the reliable information Lin Yu saw about the [forum] and [Order] organizations ca from posts on the "forum." How could information from the sa source be credible? Only after seeing the reactions of several "veteran players" did Lin Yu finally lower his guard slightly toward the "forum."
Similarly, the [Tycoon], verified by the "forum," might also be relatively trustworthy. "Maybe I can try subtly probing him for information about that mysterious woman from the Psychological Society..." "And the [Free Alliance's] 'Unforgotten'..." Pondering this, Lin Yu decided to find another opportunity to contact the [Tycoon].
Of course, he'd temporarily stop selling fake items this week. Lin Yu now had a more reliable money-making thod than "selling fake items" - the "bounty" posts on the forum! Since the [forum] organization was trustworthy, those they put bounties on were likely people who deserved to die. So why not kill so deserving targets within his ability and earn so extra cash?
"I'll carefully ask that Tycoon about the 'bounty' thing later!" "Might as well ask about [Promotion] while I'm at it." Although Lin Yu had decided to temporarily stop selling fake items, to the Tycoon, just based on that last deal, he was sowhat of a "big client" now. Moreover, with the permanent "double rewards" buff, even if he never sold fakes again, he could always sell genuine items! So the Tycoon probably wouldn't mind answering a few questions.
With this in mind, Lin Yu took off his wet clothes, dried himself with a towel, and changed into prepared clean clothes. He decided to ssage the Tycoon right now to contact him. Lin Yu picked up his phone from the bathroom counter and turned on the screen. The ti was just five minutes past midnight - sa as last ti, he'd woken up around one minute past midnight. Drying himself had taken about four minutes.
But at this mont, Lin Yu suddenly realized the blood text before his eyes seed different from before. [Ti until next ga latest start: 06 days 23 hours 54 minutes] [Note: In the next ga instance, you will receive an additional [Promotion Trial] task.]
Lin Yu was dumbfounded. "[Promotion Trial]... huh?" He'd just been wondering whether to ask the Tycoon about [Promotion] while inquiring about other matters. Now it seed... he'd have to prioritize investigating [Promotion]. If he couldn't get satisfactory answers from the Tycoon... Lin Yu was even prepared to use that precious "question opportunity" given by the "God of Change"!
