Chapter 147: You Have No Choice! Gaining a New Innate Talent—'Lie Detection'!

Hm?!

The three of them suddenly froze; they hadn't expected Su Yang to so brazenly reveal the Hole Cards.

Instinctively, they harbored doubt.

After all, if he were the referee, wouldn't the determination of a lie be up to him alone?

"What does that mean? Just when we're sharing Intelligence, a Lie Detection pops up—how coincidental," Huangfu Shu squinted.

"Just try it and you'll know," Su Yang said.

"I'll go!" Huangfu Shu stood up and said, "I wore blue Underpants today."

Su Yang stared into his eyes, and after a while said, "You Lie."

Huangfu Shu's eyelids twitched violently; instinctively he pulled down his fly and looked down.

Jiang Hua leaned forward to glance, then with a strange expression said, "No way, Brother Huangfu, you went on a date with a girl and didn't even wear Underpants?"

"Aren't you afraid the Urine will drip onto your pants and smell?"

"Get out of the way!" Huangfu Shu said irritably, pushing him aside.

"Let me ask you again: I didn't have chili-fried meat for dinner today."

Su Yang continued to stare, nodded, and said, "You didn't Lie."

Huangfu Shu still harbored doubt, thinking to himself, "A blind cat meeting a dead mouse?"

Both of these blind guesses each have a fifty percent chance of being correct.

"My turn, my turn to ask," Jiang Hua, eager to try, sat beside Su Yang and said, "I like small animals."

Su Yang smiled, "You're Lie-ing."

Jiang Hua was startled.

Huangfu Shu glanced at his expression and guessed that Su Yang had caught him.

"Does the Lie Detection Innate Talent really exist?" Jiang Hua asked.

Su Yang looked at Tang Youning and said, "Brother Ning, want to try?"

Tang Youning thought carefully, then asked, "I attended the Fifth Middle School of Feng Tian City in junior high."

"You didn't Lie."

The others then took turns asking Su Yang several questions.

Surprisingly, he answered all of them correctly.

Whether about himself or his past, he could discern everything.

Even though blind guesses have a fifty percent probability.

But as the number of questions accumulates, the chance of getting all correct becomes minuscule.

At that moment, the three couldn't help but think, "Can he really Lie Detection?"

Su Yang watched their pensive faces and chuckled inwardly.

In fact, the questions they asked all involved daily life, touching on personal character and habits.

For example, the Underpants color question Huangfu Shu started with.

It wasn't a blind guess; Su Yang had already noticed before the date that Huangfu Shu wore black silk shorts.

His butt was perked, and whether he wore Underpants was obvious at a glance.

The purpose was clear: he wanted to showcase so-called masculine charm by not wearing Underpants and swaggering while walking.

And the subsequent chili-fried meat question…

Huangfu Shu is a Minnan native, so his regional background doesn't reveal his preference for spicy food.

During the date, considering time constraints, people usually pick a nearby restaurant to save time.

From the 'Highlight Moment', the fishing spot was in the suburbs, so there was a certain chance they'd choose a farmhouse restaurant.

But Su Yang concluded he was lying because he smelled the breath emanating from his Mouth.

A strong black pepper scent.

Combined with his knowledge of him, the dinner was most likely Western cuisine.

These so-called pick-up artists love taking girls to seemingly upscale venues, then brag about it.

As for Jiang Hua…

He appears to be a sunny, warm-looking young man.

His highlight performance also highlights his thoughtful attentiveness.

People easily assume at first glance that he is a very caring person.

But the problem is that this is a Lie Detection test.

With Huangfu Shu as a precedent.

Jiang Hua would certainly ask questions that contradict his Cognition.

Tang Youning's case was even simpler.

If he asked about the First or Second Middle School, there might be a chance of falsification.

But specifying the 'Fifth', that must be the truth without doubt.

Su Yang, seeing it was enough, added fuel, "If I didn't have the Lie Detection Innate Talent, I certainly couldn't achieve such a high Performance Score."

He then looked at the skeptical Huangfu Shu, "I wouldn't even reach sixty points."

Those words made Huangfu Shu suddenly feel they made sense.

On what basis could Su Yang perform so well when he didn't know anyone?

Relying solely on crude jokes is extremely risky.

If he didn't have the Lie Detection probe, how could he be so at ease?

"Are you using the Innate Talent to bring her into the game?" Huangfu Shu asked.

"Of course." Su Yang nodded, "With Lie Detection, I can know what movie she wants to watch, what she wants to eat, what she wants to listen to."

I see…

The three of them suddenly realized, this is Su Yang's real Hole Cards.

Without exaggeration, if they had this Innate Talent, they'd surely score above eighty points!

"Even if you have 'Lie Detection', how does that prove you aren't lying?" Huangfu Shu expressed concern.

【'Deception' activated successfully, you have obtained 'Lie Detection' Innate Talent】

'Lie Detection: By the different colored flashes in the eyes, discern lying—red indicates a lie, blue indicates truth; activation condition—gaze into both eyes; duration 1 s, Cooldown Time 1 minute.'

"Can't prove it." Su Yang shook his head, continuing:

"You also can't guarantee that what the girl says is all true; moreover, I gain no benefit from lying, and tomorrow the truth will be revealed."

"Then you'll be able to see through it at any time."

Huangfu Shu narrowed his eyes, "If you lie, wouldn't one of us have our Performance Score lowered by you?"

The total number of dates is only four.

His first performance was only slightly above the passing line.

If the second time is dragged down, even if his performance improves later, it'll be hard to catch up.

"You have no choice." Su Yang slightly lifted his chin, "Even if you know I'm lying, you still must share the information."

"At least you have a three‑quarters probability of obtaining accurate information."

"On what grounds should I listen to you? If you collude with those two, wouldn't I have not a single true piece of information?" Huangfu Shu said.

"Then there's nothing to discuss." Su Yang spread his hands.

He then stood up and said, "Since you don't trust me, whether we share or not doesn't matter; after all, my score is higher than yours, and I have the advantage of proactively planning the itinerary."

"Moreover, with the 'Lie Detection' Innate Talent, my Performance Score won't fall below seventy."

"You just wait to be manipulated by the girl."

Having said that, Su Yang didn't look back and went straight upstairs.

His ultimate goal has already been achieved.

With the 'Lie Detection' Innate Talent, he can seize the initiative in every subsequent date.

The so‑called 'share' is merely a ruse.

He also doesn't expect these people to provide any useful information.

Huangfu Shu watched Su Yang's departing silhouette with a fluctuating expression, his jaw clenched.

The other side used the 'Sun Plot', forcing him to agree.

If they don't do this, the girl will have the upper hand.

Even if Su Yang lies, they have no way to deal with him.

It's like holding a knife to force him to speak.

As he said, his score is the highest overall; even without sharing, he won't fall behind.

In contrast, Huangfu Shu and the others, except Jiang Hua, are basically at the bottom.

"Go to sleep," Tang Youning said.

Jiang Hua's gaze at Huangfu Shu carried resentment, as if saying—

It's all your fault for driving Su Yang away.

Seeing that look, Huangfu Shu tightened his fist, a breath held tightly in his chest, with nowhere to vent.

"Damn it!"
