13: If you don't have the ability, don't call.

Before this, they had already prepared to welcome both the person and the items back safely.

However, now that only the cultural relics had returned, the several leaders of the Alien Management Bureau felt a bit regretful.

Because they all really wanted to see what kind of talent could accomplish two such earth-shattering feats.

Although such an ability might sound a bit unpleasant when spoken aloud, it was truly heaven-defying.

But now that the person hadn't returned, it made them ponder more deeply.

Judging by the two things Lin Yang had done, it was enough to prove that if he wanted to return, he could do so at any time.

After all, if he could easily enter and exit the top-secret data room of the Netherlands, there shouldn't be many places in this world he couldn't go.

To obtain the photolithography machine manufacturing book in the Netherlands, it couldn't be done merely by "stealing."

This meant that Lin Yang definitely possessed an extremely perfect ability to create fake identities.

It would be impossible to enter such a place without a legitimate and legal identity.

Therefore, Lin Yang must have forged an extremely plausible identity to be able to enter and exit such a place.

Otherwise, if he didn't have a legal identity, he would be detected as an illegal intruder and arrested in minutes.

Thus, if he wanted to return to his country, he would never be stopped by identity issues.

Yet, he did not return with the cultural relics.

This made Ye Guhong and others somewhat worried.

"Based on his previous call asking for advice, he seemed very reluctant to become an illegal person in the country. It's just that forging an identity shouldn't be a problem for him, so why hasn't he returned?"

The several leaders frowned in thought.

They were all very concerned about Lin Yang's safety.

Ye Guhong suddenly tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps he has already returned."

"Ah?"

The several leaders were all stunned.

Ye Guhong smiled slightly and said, "You also said that forging an identity is not a problem for him, so how can we easily conclude that he hasn't returned? Perhaps he has already forged an identity and returned?"

"This..."

Ye Guhong continued, "So let's not dwell on the question of whether he has returned or not. Perhaps he has already returned, but just doesn't want to tell us. Besides, whether he has returned or not, we'll know when he calls again."

"Elder Ye, do you think he will do more astonishing things?" Tang Wensheng and others couldn't help but look at each other.

"I don't know." Ye Guhong shook his head, and amidst the astonished gazes of the several leaders, he said faintly, "But I always feel that this should only be the beginning."

"So, continue to maintain the previous vigilance and await his next call."

"As for safety issues..."

"Since he can forge identities so perfectly, there shouldn't be any major safety issues. This is proven by the fact that he safely ran to Little Eagle Sauce after getting the Netherlands's photolithography machine manufacturing book."

"Therefore, we don't need to worry too much; we just need to be ready to assist him in returning to the country at any time."

Ye Guhong said steadily.

After his explanation, Tang Wensheng and others finally realized that they had been unconsciously worried about Lin Yang's safety earlier, ignoring the fact that since he could easily travel back and forth between Western Countries, he must have his own unique methods.

So, before Lin Yang sends them a request for help, they just need to cooperate.

"Elder Ye, we understand. How should we reply to Little Eagle Sauce? The cultural relics they just lost have been announced by us as being donated, and their embassy is strongly condemning this illegal act, hoping that we can return those cultural relics."

"Hmph, return them? The cultural relics were donated by an anonymous person, and we didn't snatch them from their museum, so what's this talk of returning them? Tell them, if they have the ability, go find trouble with that anonymous person. If they don't have the ability, don't make a fuss!"

...

"Congratulations, Host, the first batch of cultural relics has been successfully transported to Shangxia. As the Shangxia official directly announced this matter, your actions became known to the general public, and you were hailed as an unsung hero. Host receives one point of renown value reward!"

"Congratulations, Host, for receiving renown value for the first time, you have been awarded one achievement points."

"Congratulations, Host, you have received the exclusive renown value title: Rising Star."

In Little Eagle Sauce Country, Lin Yang suddenly received a string of prompts, which made him pause, and then he asked, "System, what is renown value?"

"Answering Host, renown value is a special reward item of the System, currently with no use."

"Huh? What do you mean? This thing is useless? Is there no renown value mall?" Lin Yang was stunned.

"Answering Host, renown value does not have an exclusive mall, and renown value cannot be consumed."

"Cannot be consumed?" Lin Yang frowned, "System, can you explain in a way that a normal person can understand simply and quickly?"

"Answering Host, renown value, once obtained, will always exist and will not be consumed by you redeeming any System items or using System services."

"Then what is this thing for exactly? And what about that exclusive title, is it just for show?" Lin Yang widened his eyes.

"Answering Host, renown value belongs to special items. When you redeem some special items, there will be renown value requirements. Only by meeting the renown value requirement can you use national treasure value to redeem the corresponding items."

"Then why did you just say it has no use? Are you messing with me?"

"Answering Host, items that require renown value to be redeemed are super items and cannot be used until your country's technological civilization level reaches a certain degree. Therefore, the System said 'currently with no use,' not 'no use at all.'"

Lin Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "...Are you playing word games with me here?"

The System was silent.

"What about the title then? What's the use of that title? Is it like the achievement points title? Is there an extra bonus when gaining renown?" Lin Yang took a deep breath and asked again.

"Answering Host, the renown value title has no bonus effect and merely represents your current renown stage."

"...So it's still just for show, right?" Lin Yang was speechless.

"Answering Host, some specific uses of renown value will only become apparent when your country's technological civilization reaches a certain level. Please Host, strive hard."

"Then specifically, what level of technological civilization is required?" Lin Yang pressed.

"Answering Host, the System currently cannot answer this question. Please Host, strive hard."

"...What's the use of you?!"

Lin Yang complained and was too lazy to ask more questions.

Although he hadn't been dealing with the System for long, he knew that if the System said it wouldn't answer a question, then even asking it ten thousand times would yield no answer.

Afterward, Lin Yang changed the question: "System, what stage has the Shangxia Great Academy of Sciences' photolithography machine manufacturing reached?"
