Chapter 175

An hour passed, and the two were still drinking at the table.

Su Yang went to the study to get a copy of "The Spirit of the Knight" and sat on the sofa to read.

But he couldn't stand the shouting of the two after a few minutes.

"Alcohol is the essence of grain, the more you drink, the younger you get!"

"You have a cup, I have a cup, let's keep bragging after we finish!"

Su Yang helplessly closed the book and looked at Jiang Hua, whose face was flushed.

At this time, he had long passed the state of being slightly tipsy and began to feel dizzy and nauseous in his stomach.

But he didn't want to admit defeat in his heart and had to fight for a winner.

Tang Youning fulfilled his promise; Jiang Hua drank one bottle, and he drank two.

After three rounds of drinking, there was no change in his expression.

"Is this the innate talent of the Freljordians?" Su Yang laughed dumbly.

As someone allergic to alcohol, he didn't understand the point of competing in drinking.

Could it be just for that bit of self-esteem and sense of achievement?

"Su Yang, Brother Ning is cheating; look at his bottle, there are still two sips left," Jiang Hua called the 'referee'.

"Are you raising fish here? Drink it up."

Su Yang shook his head, chose to avoid the 'dispute', and went upstairs to read on his own.

However, not long after reading, he heard Jiang Hua shouting below: "The third partner information is here!"

Not long after, the door opened, and Jiang Hua drunkenly handed over the envelope.

"Here, this is yours."

Su Yang took it, but found there were two envelopes, and his name was written on both.

"Two?"

"Hmm, probably the last date, making up for the missed one," Jiang Hua leaned against the door, his flushed face like two burning clouds.

Su Yang glanced at his confused state and asked, "Did you throw up?"

"Hmph, I still want to fight Brother Ning for three hundred rounds!"

As he spoke, he turned and went downstairs to continue drinking with him.

Su Yang closed the door and slowly took out the letters inside.

'Third partner information—she has the ability to traverse the void.'

'Fourth partner information—she is the darling favored by time.'

"Traverse the void?" Su Yang first thought of Zhao Huaillei's 'Soul Summoning' talent.

It's not hard to see that the first three partner information are all linked to talents.

Stars in the eyes represent 'All-Seeing Eye'.

Sensitive ears indicate 'All-Seeing Eye'.

Traversing the void corresponds to 'Soul Summoning'.

Looking at it this way, the fourth piece of information will also be related to talent.

It's just...

"What does it mean to be favored by time?" Su Yang was completely puzzled.

According to the information correspondence, Lin Shuyu, Wang Ning, and Zhao Huaillei are all on the list.

That only leaves Xu Yutong.

"Could it be that she can control time?" A possibility emerged in Su Yang's mind.

Judging from the short six hours of contact between the two, it seems this only happened when eating.

The suddenly accelerated clock.

Su Yang noticed this at the time; he was quite sensitive to time and couldn't have wasted too much time on eating.

And that receipt also proved that the clock on the wall was working.

Then...

"She accelerated time?" Su Yang frowned.

Wrong!

If it was just simply letting time flow faster, he wouldn't have had a feeling of déjà vu.

And Xu Yutong's emotional contrast was too great.

Furthermore, accelerating time was of no benefit to her.

"Excluding the possibility of accelerating time... time stop or time reversal?" A flash of light passed through Su Yang's eyes.

Compared to the two, he was more inclined to the latter.

If it was just simple time stop, there was very little Xu Yutong could do.

At most, make some physical contact with him.

This didn't fit the logic of the changes before and after.

"Then if it's time reversal..." Su Yang vaguely grasped the key point.

No matter how strong a talent is, it cannot control time.

Her talent was more like letting things press the 'undo button'.

It wasn't the reversal in traditional cognition.

Time = Rules.

Xu Yutong didn't show weakness after the backlash, which proved her talent wasn't strong enough to affect the rules.

So...

"She dug out certain information from my mouth," Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

Analyzing it this way made sense.

Time reversal brings memories and things back together.

But because she couldn't control the rules, some traces were left in the memory.

These traces were the reason he felt déjà vu.

"What a terrifying talent..." Su Yang frowned.

If he were Xu Yutong, he would definitely save the talent for the final selection session.

In this way, she would have a chance to try and fail.

That is to say, compared to others' two choices, she possessed three.

A sense of crisis suddenly emerged in Su Yang's heart.

"With one less boy, she has a two-thirds chance of choosing correctly on her first choice."

Of course, this was based on her having a high performance score.

But Su Yang had to guard against the possibility of her subtly instilling some kind of thought into the players making the choices.

This would directly lead to a misjudgment of the result.

"The biggest threat appeared in front of me early on," Su Yang thought to himself.

He flipped the letter over and saw four lines of words engraved on it—

'Library'

'Dinner'

'Cruise'

'Date duration—six hours.'

"Three itineraries?"

Su Yang flipped over the other letter, but didn't see any words on it.

This meant that he had one and only one date object.

"Four pieces of information correspond to four different people... do I have four partners?" Su Yang was stunned.

The rules clearly stated that one must find the player who corresponds to all the information.

Obviously, these four pieces of information could find corresponding people if divided into four separate parts.

"My intuition tells me that Xu Yutong has stars in her eyes and the ability to control time, fitting two pieces of partner information."

"Although Huangfu Shu is dead, I learned from two others that Wang Ning's eyes probably flash with starlight-like light when she activates her talent, and 'sensitive ears' corresponds to her talent, also fitting two pieces of partner information."

"Zhao Huaillei possesses the talent to traverse the void, and Brother Ning clearly said there are stars in her eyes, also fitting two pieces of information..."

"Lin Shuyu only has the All-Seeing Eye, but her eyes can penetrate the thick fog to see here; can this also be interpreted as 'traversing the void'?"

After reviewing it like this, Su Yang found that every female guest fit two pieces of partner information.

But integrating them together didn't point accurately.

This made him feel troubled.

"No wonder the girls' side hasn't found a suitable partner until now; they must also be dizzy from the partner information."

If he relied on guessing, the risk was too high, and Su Yang only had two chances.

If he didn't guess correctly the first time, and was chosen by other players in their turns, the last chance would also lose its meaning.

"Jiang Hua and Brother Ning don't look worried at all, and even started drinking; could it be they knew the answer long ago?" Su Yang frowned.

Jiang Hua was dead drunk, not caring about the upcoming date at all.

Tang Youning was the same, both knowing today was the last time, yet still so leisurely.

"A mess..." Su Yang rubbed his temples.

Since they had their own targets.

Then Su Yang would simply burn the bridges.

If he couldn't play to his heart's content, then nobody would play!
