Chapter 206

"Good work." Su Yang helped him up and turned his gaze to the screen.

He saw that all surviving players had returned, and the rankings were set in stone.

Su Yang's ranking also rose straight up with the addition of Lin Yang, instantly rushing into the top one thousand.

Then it continued to rise without slowing down!

Top 500!

Top 300!

Top 100!!

"Made it!" Su Yang clenched his fists subconsciously, joy bursting in his eyes.

Soon, the momentum slowed down, and the ranking finally settled at 54th.

【Next death game opens in 15 days】

"Our ranking is actually this high?" Lin Yang said in surprise.

As early as when it was announced that there were 'hidden achievements', he guessed that Su Yang would likely be able to get them.

With his game level, it wouldn't be difficult to do this.

In order not to drag him down, Lin Yang put all his effort into using his brain.

Following what Su Yang said—go against intuition, and firmly refuse to abuse kindness.

The result was gratifying; he did it, although he didn't rush into the top 10, he also got something crucial.

"Didn't embarrass you, right?" Lin Yang laughed, his eyes full of pride.

"Very good, exceeded my expectations," Su Yang praised.

Originally, he hoped that Lin Yang would also get a double-S rating, but after the torment of the past two days.

His expectations dropped again and again.

From rushing into the top ten at the beginning, it turned into—as long as he comes back alive, it's fine.

It really lived up to the saying: the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

As long as you hold a low enough expectation, once the result is slightly better, your mentality will be greatly satisfied.

Lin Yang carefully examined the scores of each player and said: "It seems... only about eighty people in the entire prison got double-S."

"The ratio is too low."

Su Yang shook his head and said: "Because it's just the beginning; as the game progresses, everyone will find ways to get hidden achievements."

Summarizing experience from 'failure' is the common thinking and method of all gamers.

Therefore, Su Yang cannot slack off; one can never underestimate human resilience.

Suddenly, a line of large characters appeared on the screen—

'Now distributing extra rewards for the top hundred players.'

The next moment, two golden light orbs appeared out of thin air, sinking into the tops of Su Yang and Lin Yang's heads respectively.

A familiar warm current surged toward their limbs and bones, and the two couldn't help but groan.

This feeling is highly addictive; once you've tasted the sweetness, you can never forget it in your life.

Seeing this, the neighbors on both sides were full of envy; they knew the temptation of talent evolution.

"After this time... Su Yang's talent should be able to fully evolve, right?" Bai Wanrou whispered.

Lu Junsheng observed the changes in Su Yang and said: "Not necessarily."

He saw the golden light wrapping around his body, constantly strengthening his physical functions.

Su Yang felt as if his whole person was soaked in hot water, and all the cells in his body were boiling.

"This feeling is..."

He clenched his fists subconsciously; his strength seemed to have increased a bit.

Not only that, but his thinking also became much more active.

All-around amplification, it's as if...

Evolution!

"Ahhhhh!"

Lin Yang screamed comfortably, his face full of enjoyment.

"Dead look." Qin Weiyang looked at him 'posturing' with disgust, turned her head away, and didn't want to see it.

Soon, as the golden light dissipated, the evolution came to an abrupt end.

【'Deception' talent evolution progress: 90%】

"Huh? That's it?" Lin Yang was enjoying it, but the reward suddenly disappeared.

It was as if he was suddenly stopped at a critical node.

Extremely uncomfortable.

"Still a little bit off?" Su Yang felt a bit regretful.

One step away, just one step away from successful evolution.

However, fortunately, his body was strengthened.

Although the specific degree cannot be reflected by data, this is at least comparable to several years of exercise.

"Su Yang, has your talent evolved?" Lin Yang asked curiously.

"No, still a little bit off; what about you?" Su Yang asked.

"40%, probably need two more times," Lin Yang sighed.

Su Yang frowned and looked at the leaderboard, "So it's a fixed amount of reward."

"Damn, it's hard to perform well once; who knows if I can get into the top hundred next time?" Lin Yang cursed.

"He will always dangle temptation in front of players, forcing you to get more points," Su Yang said slowly.

"Isn't this forcing people to roll?" Lin Yang's eyes widened.

Su Yang shrugged and said: "If you don't improve, you can only be surpassed by others; if you don't roll, there are plenty of people who will."

Lin Yang wanted to argue, but found he had nothing to say.

Indeed, this mode is like someone riding on your back, dangling a piece of meat with a rope to induce you to keep running forward.

This piece of meat seems to be close at hand, but you can never eat it.

"You're better off; you've already received a reward once before, I still need to get it two more times," Lin Yang sighed.

Competition will only get bigger and bigger, and players' understanding of the rules is approaching maturity.

The ending of the losers is not hard to imagine.

"You didn't evolve successfully?" Qin Weiyang asked.

"Far from it," Lin Yang shook his head.

"Why?"

Su Yang looked out the glass window, observing the actions of players in each prison.

After a while, he said: "Have you heard of cyber insect farming?"

"What the hell?" Luo Shuangshuang asked suspiciously.

"Downloading dozens of antivirus software on a computer, turning them on at the same time, letting them fight and struggle with each other."

"Software with strong antivirus capabilities will expel the weak, killing them without leaving a trace."

"The weak can only become food, adding antivirus experience to the strong."

"The strong get stronger and stronger, and the weak are not even as good as dregs."

"The software that remains at the end will be favored by the user and kept on the computer."

Su Yang stood up and stood by the window, pointing at the players with different reactions: "Including us, everyone here is a cyber insect."

"He makes us kill each other, gives rewards as sweetness, and while supplementing nutrition, also makes the insects that didn't get the sweetness even crazier."

"Only by fighting for your life do you have the qualification to become a survivor."

Qin Weiyang's heart moved, her eyes fixed: "Meaning... we are all contestants in an arena?"

"You can understand it that way," Su Yang nodded.

"According to what you said, even if the final winner is decided, what is the meaning of their existence?" Lin Yang asked.

Su Yang turned around slowly, his eyes flickering:

"Ascension to God!"
