Chapter 990 That’s right, Lin Yu, you have to go to this gray area
After learning a little quirk about the "King" from "Ayu", Lin Yu had no choice but to switch to the next identity.
On Lao Yao's side, there was nothing new about "Jiang'an Hall", but the tycoon did send a private message.
"Yao, the 'Director' asked me to keep an eye out for some 'alchemical materials'. I found a batch of top-notch stuff at the gathering, and I've temporarily secured it. Can you ask him if he wants it?"
"These are all what 'Alchemy Butterfly Wings' needs."
Seeing this, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows.
"This alchemy finally has a conclusion."
Perhaps because the rumors about the "director" were too explosive, the news that the director had mastered a certain "alchemy" was not spread very widely, so that the "Alchemy Butterfly Wings" that Lin Yu should have obtained long ago, actually still lacked some "belief".
but……
Now there is too much "belief" stored in Lin Yu's [Tower Scam], so Lin Yu simply puts forward a little "belief" and directly fills the last gap.
Then, the information about "Alchemy Butterfly Wings" flooded into my mind.
"Oh, that's pretty good."
Lin Yu has fully mastered this alchemy from the "Life Lineage".
This trick is really useful.
Using alchemy to harness life force, it condenses "butterfly wings," allowing the user to hover and glide in the air. This also greatly increases the user's "agility," enabling them to change direction more quickly while moving and use the wings to block some damage.
However, like many "higher-level alchemy techniques", this move is still quite expensive to use - each time it is activated, it requires extracting a large amount of alchemical activity and vitality from the alchemical materials.
The higher the quality of vitality, the better the effect.
but……
"Fortunately, a tycoon paid for it."
Lin Yu sighed and replied in Lao Yao's tone.
"Boss, I asked Lao Lin, and he said you should keep it first, and he will trade with you when he returns to Jiangcheng."
The tycoon's reply came again soon.
"What kind of trade? It's a trade! I gave it to him—this guy is so contemptuous!"
"Forget it, don't bother talking to him about this online. I'll just give it to him offline and that'll be it!"
Looking at the tycoon's reply, Lin Yu was not surprised.
Sure enough, this righteous and generous elder brother had no intention of letting him pay - even though the last fight had burned a lot of his remaining property, he had nothing to complain about his brotherhood.
It seems that tycoons don't need a Fortune 500 company or a super business mind to significantly increase their wealth.
If he had been a little more frugal, he would probably be in the top 20 now.
but……
As a generous vested interest of the tycoon, Lin Yu certainly wouldn't say much.
He just silently remembered the tycoon's friendship in his heart, and then decided to torture Lacon a few more times when he stabbed him to death in the future - perhaps he could learn from April in this regard.
She recalled the past with such regret that she must have simulated in her mind many times how she would have stabbed him if she had not been so angry that day.
Lin Yu was lost in thought, and then the mobile phone interface of the next identity came up.
There was no news from Schreiber yet—although rumors about him were already flying everywhere, and everyone knew about him after his big appearance on Kirishima Island Sixth Island, no one had contacted him yet.
This also includes 'Kui', 'Huang', 'Guzhou' and 'Ayu' whom we met last time - everyone seems to be still watching.
Of course, Lin Yu thought that A Yu had forgotten about this matter purely because of the existence of Ya Yu.
After more activities with the Predators and more contact with Ah Yu, Lin Yu also discovered a special feature of Ah Yu...
Although every organization has its reckless characters, and players who rely solely on brute force and momentum to overcome levels are everywhere, such as "Snow Owl" and "Berserk Blade" are similar...
But it is really rare to find someone like "Ayu" who has a completely single-minded mind.
"Big Sister Ayu" is literally single-threaded in her daily life. When encountering new things, she will naturally be attracted to them and forget about the previous things.
Although she would still use her brain and pay more attention when encountering important matters, it was obvious...
This girl is quite heartless, there aren't many things that can make her care!
Encountering 'Schreber' might be something that other organizations would consider worthy of attention, but Ayu might have forgotten about it long ago.
Lin Yu even suspected that A Yu might not even know that a guy who claimed to be the first generation successor of "Freud" and codenamed "Schreber" was active recently.
She might even have heard of him, but had no idea that he was the same person as the "Schreiber" she met!
It is definitely not surprising that this kind of thing happened to A Yu.
but……
Lin Yu also knew that Schreiber's reputation had already spread, and someone would eventually come to him - he just needed to wait patiently.
What's more, he also has activities related to "Schreber" to carry out next.
"Next time, if the timing is right, I'll bring Old Shi out for a walk..."
Thinking of this, Lin Yu switched to the interface of the next character.
That is...
"Zhu Ming".
As always, the Free Alliance group was bustling with activity. Old Zhou posted a Super Saiyan T-shirt, which Qian Huan responded to. The two chatted about Dragon Ball comics. Then, the chef asked if everyone was free for a weekend dinner, but only Xiao Yun said they were. Then, a comedian posted two puns he'd copied from who knows where...
In short, it is still as harmonious as ever.
But Lin Yu frowned.
In this group chat, the ones who have the most spam are Li Nian, Xiao Yun, Lao Zhou, Qian Huan, and Comedian.
The God of Cooking, Wang Yuyang, Braised Carp King and Building Materials Master Wu also speak frequently.
Mountaineers and fishermen are the most likely to dive.
But anyway…
"It's really strange. Li Nian hasn't spoken since half past eleven."
Moreover, he didn't send me a private message.
In other words, Li Nian should have been silent since he came out of the [copy].
This is a bit counterintuitive, because Li Nian must talk to everyone every time he releases a [copy].
What's more, this time she even borrowed her own things...
After thinking about it, Lin Yu tried to make a voice call directly to Li Nian.
No one answered.
Lin Yu thought for a moment, took out the [Teleportation Gun], used the anchor point, and returned to his home in Jiangcheng.
Afterwards, Lin Yu changed into Zhu Ming's appearance and came to Li Nian's house as quickly as possible.
Lin Yu climbed over the courtyard wall, exerted his mental power to the maximum, and quickly locked onto Li Nian's position through mental fluctuations.
"The bedroom?"
Lin Yu jumped up and climbed along the pipe on the wall to the second-floor window - then, he saw Li Nian directly.
The familiar girl was wearing a windbreaker that Lin Yu had seen many times. She was hanging on the curtain rod with a rope in front of the window, and her feet were swaying slightly off the ground.
Even Lin Yu felt his brain go blank for half a second.
He reacted quickly, opened the window, pulled out a dagger and cut the rope that was hanging Li Nian.
Of course he is still alive if there are mental fluctuations - Li Nian's [copy] must have required hanging or suffocation as a condition for entry, and then he encountered something in the [copy] that made him unable to break free after returning to reality.
"Gudong!"
The girl fell to the floor without any movement, her breathing steady but very weak.
Lin Yu looked at the gray color surging in Li Nian's dilated pupils and realized again that something was wrong.
The other person was holding an open notebook tightly in his hand - it was the [Ancient Notes] he lent to Li Nian.
He picked up the notebook from Li Nian's hand, and saw only two scribbled, unfinished words on it.
Even though the second word was only half written, Lin Yu could recognize it.
Li Nian wrote...
--"Help".
