Chapter 205
Su Yang took a step out and returned in an instant.
Looking at the familiar layout of the suite, a dim yellow light spilled down from overhead.
His whole body felt warm and fuzzy, indescribably comfortable.
"Finally back!"
Su Yang stretched his back.
As soon as his tense nerves relaxed, the accumulated fatigue immediately washed over his entire body.
He took a bottle of soda water from the refrigerator, twisted off the cap, and took a big gulp.
Feeling the 'mouthfeel' of the sodium bicarbonate blending with the carbon dioxide, he couldn't help but let out a burp~
"What the hell?"
Su Yang frowned and stuck out his tongue.
A mouthful of sparkling water without any coloring was simply torture for the taste buds.
He had only heard before that this kind of water tasted bad.
He didn't expect it to taste this bad.
Su Yang curled his lip and tossed it into the trash can.
Just consider him a wild boar unable to appreciate fine bran.
"You threw it away after just one sip?"
At this moment, the neighbor on the left suddenly asked.
Su Yang looked up and saw a delicate, 'pitiable' face staring at the trash can with wide, fluttering eyes.
"It's not to my taste; I'll throw away everything in the fridge later," Su Yang said.
"Lin Yang seems to love drinking it," Bai Wanrou whispered.
"Is that so?" Su Yang was slightly surprised, looking at the trash can thoughtfully.
Immediately, he picked up the soda water, went to the kitchen to rinse the bottle with water, and stuffed it back into the refrigerator.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying leisurely: "You are too mean; Lin Yang will definitely talk about you when he finds out later."
"Don't waste good things," Su Yang said.
After laughing, Bai Wanrou yawned, her dark circles looking incredibly large.
Su Yang asked curiously: "How was the bungee jumping?"
"I jumped thirty-six times and haven't closed my eyes for three days," Bai Wanrou said, forcing herself to stay alert.
"Did you stop in between?"
"This death game was about heart rate; whoever had a higher heart rate would have their rope automatically snap during the bungee jump," Bai Wanrou explained the game rules.
"Sounds not bad," Su Yang nodded secretly and asked further: "What about the height?"
"Three thousand meters."
"What?"
Su Yang was suddenly stunned and asked suspiciously: "At this height... if you fall to the bottom and swing once, wouldn't your brains be shaken into a puree?"
Usually, bungee jumping involves wrapping the rope around the waist, and there is also a specific height requirement.
It wouldn't exceed the limit of the human body.
But this three thousand meters...
Jumping thirty-six times in a row.
Never mind the heart rate.
Being able to survive is already a miracle.
"Did you forget? My talent is 'Teleportation'," Bai Wanrou reminded him.
Hearing this, Su Yang suddenly realized, "So you use your talent when you're about to reach the bottom to avoid damage?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
Seeing her unscathed appearance, Su Yang said: "Congratulations on completing another round of the death game."
Listening to the congratulations, there was no joy in Bai Wanrou's eyes; instead, they were filled with deep worry.
"I didn't get the 'hidden achievement'; does that mean I have no chance at the top hundred?"
"And... Sheng Ge hasn't returned either."
As she spoke, Bai Wanrou's eyes dimmed, and her voice trembled slightly.
Just as Su Yang had said before, if one of the 'roommates' died.
The other would inevitably be unable to stand alone.
As time passed, they would likely become targets for others to slaughter.
Therefore, while a player needs to perform well, their roommate also needs to perform excellently.
Only in this way can they rush into the top hundred.
Obtain divine power.
Complete talent evolution!
This is the goal that all players pursue.
Now, not only did Bai Wanrou fail to get the hidden achievement, but Lu Junsheng's life or death was also unknown.
The joy of clearing the game was far outweighed by the worry.
Living alone like this, in a sense, what is the difference from being dead?
Although it is too early to draw conclusions, Bai Wanrou already knew the prison's routine.
Players at the bottom of the leaderboard often do not have a good ending.
"Wait two more days; everyone's progress in the death game is different," Su Yang said.
In fact, he was also worried.
Before entering the game, he had warned Lin Yang that he must not harbor kindness.
This guy is good at everything, except that he is full of passion and acts like he's been injected with chicken blood all day long.
His biggest weakness is treating the death game as a 'game'.
Rather than a life-and-death struggle.
Su Yang's fate is tied to his, and he can't understand what the intention of the Supreme Being is in arranging it this way.
Not to mention not being able to enter the death game together, he might also be dragged down.
Even if the roommate is a game expert, Su Yang would rather believe in himself than rely on others.
For the next period of time, Su Yang exercised his body out of boredom.
In his spare time, he would find a book to read, or lie on the bed and sleep.
Even though he tried hard to keep his heart calm, the players returning to the prison one after another gave him an inexplicable sense of irritability and urgency.
Another day passed.
Su Yang's inner frustration grew even more, and for the first time, he suffered from insomnia.
"Sheng Ge?!"
At this moment, a joyful shout drew the attention of Su Yang, who was eating instant noodles.
He saw the ragged Lu Junsheng arriving late; his body was covered with burn marks, and he grinned with a dirty face.
"I'm starving to death; Wanrou, is there any food?"
"Yes! I made a lot of dishes; sit down and eat quickly."
"Mmm! The taste is not bad."
Su Yang looked at Lu Junsheng wolfing down the food, then looked down at the instant noodles in front of him.
Suddenly, it became tasteless.
Not long after, Luo Shuangshuang and Qin Weiyang returned one after another.
The two seemed to have experienced a world war, and their blood-stained wounds were shocking.
"Did you get the hidden achievement?" Qin Weiyang asked coldly.
"What about you?" Luo Shuangshuang asked back, not to be outdone.
"No."
"Neither did I."
Thus, the scene suddenly fell into silence, and the two looked at each other without words.
The next moment, the TV screen suddenly lit up.
'The number of people who cleared the game exceeds half of the survivors, the leaderboard is open!'
Su Yang put down his fork and looked up; the first thing that caught his eye was the double-S player—
1st Place: Yin Yun (SS), Score—2600; Huang Hua (SS), Score—2590. Total Score: 5190.
"Did both roommates get the hidden achievement?" Su Yang frowned.
This was undoubtedly bad news.
It wasn't just the first place; the top fifty were all like this.
Their individual scores were not as high as Su Yang's, but added together, they were unreachable.
His gaze continued to move down, and finally, he saw his name at 1674th place.
1674th Place: Su Yang (SS), Score—2620. Total Score: 2620.
"Half of the people still haven't returned..." Su Yang lost his appetite and stood up anxiously.
The neighbors on the left and right who were also looking at the rankings noticed Su Yang's score.
Bai Wanrou said in shock: "Su Yang, you have the highest score in the whole place!"
"The individual ranking second is 2610 points, one achievement less than Su Yang," Lu Junsheng nodded in astonishment.
Luo Shuangshuang and Qin Weiyang on the side looked at him like he was a monster.
They knew very well that unlocking achievements was an extremely difficult thing.
Especially hidden achievements.
They couldn't even find the door.
But Su Yang not only came back early but also ranked first individually?
"Monster..."
Su Yang ignored them; his mind was entirely on Lin Yang.
If he didn't come back, it wouldn't matter how many achievements he got.
As time passed, players in the prison returned one after another.
Seeing the ranking getting lower and lower, Su Yang's breathing became heavier.
"Please don't die..."
As the leaderboard ranking gradually settled, Su Yang's heart almost sank to the bottom.
"It's not the last moment yet; Lin Yang will come back," Bai Wanrou comforted him.
"Don't worry, he's a bit slow," Qin Weiyang said.
"Dong—"
A familiar bell sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Su Yang's face changed drastically, and he stared at the TV screen.
【Fifth game ended, congratulations to the survivors】
【Rewards have been distributed, please check in your respective cells】
【Remaining players:】
【Leaderboard ranking has changed】
"It's over?" Su Yang's heart tightened.
Damn Lin Yang...
"Bang!"
Just at this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind.
Su Yang turned his head abruptly and saw a familiar figure lying on the ground, gritting his teeth and rubbing his butt.
"Hey~ mission accomplished!"
"I'm back..."
