With Tycoon's help, Lin Yu had originally planned to set up a stall and sell items slowly throughout the night, but now everything was sold out in one go.
Of course, even without Tycoon's intervention, given how hot the sales were earlier... Lin Yu would have sold out quickly anyway.
But Lin Yu knew this was Tycoon helping him out!
After all, as an unknown newcomer suddenly offering a bunch of low-priced items, he could easily attract unwanted attention!
By selling everything to Tycoon in one go...
Lin Yu had effectively minimized the attention on himself.
Moreover, Tycoon's immediate payment also saved Lin Yu a lot of trouble.
15 telescopic batons and 20 potions totaled 775 forum points!
True to his word, Tycoon completed the entire transaction in RMB!
The restaurant's second floor had been remodeled by Tycoon into a luxurious office!
"We meet again, kid."
Tycoon smiled as he looked at Lin Yu.
"So you did recognize me."
As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face—even though Lin Yu remained wary of Tycoon, he still responded politely.
Tycoon waved his hand.
"Didn't recognize you at first, but kid, you're too green... These telescopic batons start at 30 points in Jiangcheng! You brought out over ten and priced them at 10 points each!"
"Then I remembered your reckless approach yesterday, felt like the same person... Got closer and hey, the build matched too!"
"Sent a message and confirmed it was you."
As Tycoon spoke, Lin Yu smiled: "No choice, even after reading the forum guides, there's still much I don't understand."
"True enough, you're a genuine rookie who just cleared your first round," Tycoon sighed. "But damn kid, you got over ten batons and twenty potions from one round, plus you had a pistol yesterday... What, was your first round some bonus stage?"
Lin Yu answered vaguely.
Seeing this, Tycoon burst out laughing: "Look how scared you are... Relax, if you've read the forum you should know—I, 'Tycoon,' can organize and oversee Jiangcheng's offline gatherings because my reputation is solid!"
"Even if my reputation wasn't solid... I wouldn't care about your small potatoes!"
With that, Tycoon picked up his phone.
"Transfer received: 70,000 yuan!"
Lin Yu's phone announced the notification.
"70,000 yuan, just like that?!"
Tycoon waved his hand again and pulled out a paper bag.
"Here's another 7,500 in new bills—take it. Saw your shoes and clothes yesterday, standard stuff. Young guy like you, first time making this much money?"
"Having some fresh bills to count at home feels nice."
Tycoon said with a smile.
Lin Yu took the heavy paper bag and quietly stored it in his backpack.
"Thanks... You're pretty observant."
Lin Yu felt somewhat helpless.
Holding this thick stack of new bills did feel more satisfying than the digital transfer.
"I'll head out then... Really appreciate your help."
After thanking and bidding farewell, Lin Yu turned and left the second floor.
This "Tycoon" uncle was being unusually kind to him.
If they weren't in Jiangcheng but a southwestern city, if the man didn't seem so straight, if there wasn't that golden wedding ring on his right ring finger... Lin Yu might have suspected the man was attracted to his handsome looks.
But precisely because he couldn't figure out the reason, Lin Yu grew more puzzled.
"Why exactly is this happening?"
Tycoon also stood up and walked to the window, quietly watching as Lin Yu exited the gathering's restaurant without looking back.
From a door inside the office emerged a tall, burly man with dark skin.
"Boss, why are you so invested in this kid?"
"Sure, it's rare for a newcomer to have so many items at once, but not enough for you to pay this much attention, right?"
Tycoon shook his head.
"I can sense it—this kid has an aura, one very similar to mine!"
"His future is limitless, a rough gem worth my investment!"
Tycoon declared firmly, but the dark-skinned man wasn't convinced.
"Cut the crap boss... Since when were you good at judging people? What's the real reason?"
Tycoon sighed helplessly.
"Fine. When this kid came yesterday, he showed me a business card with our address... I recognized it as the handiwork of the 'Psychological Society'—he's someone chosen by the 'Psychological Society'! And likely at the highest selection level!"
"The 'Psychological Society'?!"
The dark-skinned man gasped, his expression turning grave: "Doesn't that mean... as long as this kid doesn't die young, he'll at least reach 'Third Tier'?"
Tycoon nodded slowly.
"Exactly. And his 'profession' probably isn't weak either!"
"No matter how lucky you are, you can't possibly get that many common items from just one beginner's round!"
The departed Lin Yu knew nothing of Tycoon's evaluation.
Since things ended early, it wasn't too late now.
Currently, Lin Yu was brimming with excitement from his earnings.
"Should I buy something for my sister on the way back?"
After all, many malls in Jiangcheng were still open at this hour.
But besides excitement...
Lin Yu was also curious.
What exactly did that "junior girl" who killed him and left the business card want?
Was it just to guide him to the gathering and quickly integrate into Jiangcheng's local player circle?
Before leaving, he had circled the restaurant inside and out again—even with everyone masked, Lin Yu didn't spot anyone resembling his murderer.
Neither the build nor the aura matched.
Just as Lin Yu was deep in thought...
Laughter sounded behind him.
"Hehehe... Not bad, Lin Yu. As expected of someone we chose."
"Not only did you clear your first round smoothly—you even made such a splash at your first auction!"
"Your potential truly is immeasurable."
Lin Yu turned to see a figure clad entirely in black, face completely covered, emerging from a nearby alley.
The person's voice was hoarse, as if deliberately speaking in a lowered tone.
Lin Yu demanded coldly.
Hearing the question, the figure chuckled raspily.
"Heh, who I am isn't important..."
"But I can tell you that I'm from the same organization as the pretty girl who sent you into the Death Game and left you that business card."
"We're both members of the 'Psychological Society'!"
