Chapter 1253 Changes in the City That Never Sleeps
Chapter 1253 Changes in the City That Never Sleeps
After a brief inspection of his own home, Lin Yu discovered that the head of the Buyetian family was indeed thoughtful - or rather, the person she had ordered to prepare an identity for him was a thoughtful person.
Not only were Arthur's various certificates prepared at home, but also high-end communicators, various formal clothes, and portable alchemical creations for daily use that the upper class people in the City That Never Sleeps should have were also available.
Lin Yu naturally changed into appropriate clothes.
Now, even the most authentic nobles of the old city that never sleeps can't tell that Lin Yu is an outsider.
Lin Yu, who was dressed neatly, naturally decided to go to the headquarters of Truth Company, Truth Building.
Theoretically, Lin Yu now needs to meet Buye Tian Yonglian as soon as possible.
However, his level is not enough - even now Lin Yu is not qualified to go to the Buye Tian family mansion.
Although being a second-class resident of the city that never sleeps and a B-1 level supervisor of the Truth Company is already considered a top person that many hardworking people from the outer city and test-takers from the inner city can only achieve after a lifetime of hard work,
Of course, if Lin Yu really went there and insisted on informing the housekeeper or simply made some noise, the head of the Buye Tian family would probably send someone to take him in.
But Lin Yu didn't want John's identity to attract attention immediately - after all, the house under John's name was Lin Yu's anchor.
Therefore, he also had to try his best to play the role of a qualified second-class resident and B-1 supervisor, and find a way to contact the head of the Buyetian family according to the procedures.
After all... there's still plenty of time.
By entering other worlds through the [Map] authority, Lin Yu does not need to consider the "pass conditions". He only needs to return to the anchor point again, and he can directly use the [Map] authority to evacuate the current world.
There is no mandatory time limit for this activity, but it is usually best not to stay for more than two weeks at a time. When using the [Map] permission, although there are no tasks that must be completed, you will gradually be targeted by the will of another world.
The "Death Game" does not seem to encourage players to stay in other worlds and move freely without a "copy".
But even so...
Two weeks is more than enough time for Lin Yu.
The first two times, it only took him about 24 hours to almost turn the city that never sleeps upside down.
"Starting from the Truth Company, using the authority of B-1 Supervisor, I'll try to find a suitable excuse to contact any one of Buyetian Huoshu, Buyetian Huole, or Buyetian Huoxing. Then, use this as a springboard to enter the Buyetian family... After that, let Buyetian Yonglian know that I've arrived at the Buyetian family. She should naturally find a way to find a suitable excuse for me to meet her."
Lin Yu thought about it, and then left the house.
Although the garage of this house is equipped with a car and Arthur has a driver's license, Lin Yu has never learned how to drive a vehicle in the wasteland.
So, he simply walked to the Truth Building.
After all…the Tower of Truth was within sight, and it wouldn’t take too long to walk there.
On the way, Lin Yu could also use the communicator to see what had happened in the city since he last left the City That Never Sleeps.
Judging by the news of Art Mercury's death, nearly a whole quarter has passed in the city that never sleeps.
In the meantime…
The death of Art Mercury naturally brought about a lot of changes - first of all, Alan Mercury began to purge himself within the family, and many members of the side branches of the Mercury family were placed under house arrest... But after that, most of the family members who passed Alan Mercury's test took over important family businesses and were even taught many advanced alchemy techniques of the life lineage.
During this process, the Qiu family took the opportunity to expand their influence within the Shenli Group, and even gained the upper hand for the first time in fifty years. The Shenli Group appointed a new president and two deputy directors, all of whom were from the Qiu family faction. Qiu Xinli, one of the Qiu family's twins, even directly entered the Shenli Group. Although she only served as the director of the alchemy research and development department, this was also a signal of some kind - after all, this position had always been firmly controlled by the Mercury family.
While the Shuiyin family and the Qiu family underwent many changes due to "accidents", the changes in the Shenglan family were orderly and expected.
After the family meeting, the candidate dispute was temporarily settled. Thanks to his two achievements of establishing a new "detection outpost chain" in the Great Wilderness and successfully hosting the Never-Sleeping City Business Group meeting, Sheng Lanlai achieved a phased victory - as long as he did not make any mistakes in the last few years before the old patriarch decided to step down, he would be the future head of the Shenglan family.
However, Sheng Lankui did not lose completely, because his ability and connections were proven, and he still had not completely lost his power within the family. So even if Sheng Lanlai really became the head of the family, Sheng Lankui would probably enter the Nevernight Council or the three major groups and serve as an important mouthpiece of the Shenglan family.
Although Sheng Lankui and Sheng Lanlai still feel hatred when they mention their brother, time and interests will eventually make them closer again because of the name "Sheng Lan".
But that may be at least ten years later.
Besides these two achievements, Lin Yu also knew that Saint Lanlai had won...
In a sense, this means that the Nevernight Fire Music should also have the upper hand.
Although there is almost no news coming out of the Buyetian family now, some news within the Truth Group can reveal clues.
During the one month that Paris was hospitalized for recuperation due to serious injuries, he still maintained his position as president. He even received many condolences and commendations from the Buyetian family, and even received medicinal herbs directly rewarded by the head of the Buyetian family.
Moreover, the acting president during this period was still an absolute die-hard of the Nevernight Fire Music faction.
At the same time, the Sorens family and the Wanyong Chamber of Commerce also used the Buyetian Fire String to express goodwill to the Buyetian family - and the direct target of this goodwill was the Buyetian Fire Music.
On the second day after Buyetian Huoxian returned to Buyetian's home, he and Buyetian Huole appeared in the outer city together to inspect the new Buyetian City energy development project.
The next day, the Universal Chamber of Commerce announced that it had reached a cooperation agreement with the Truth Company to assist the Truth Group in repairing the damaged site of the Despair Train track and provide assistance in alchemical technology, so as to jointly build a new large-scale outer city emotional energy supply facility.
"The City That Never Sleeps has really changed a lot..."
Lin Yu digested all this, sighed, and came to the downstairs of the Truth Building.
And downstairs... he soon met an old acquaintance.
A luxurious stretch limousine stopped at the door. President Paris, dressed in bright orange, seemed to have just finished something and returned to the Truth Building in a high-profile manner!
