Chapter 523: Minotaur Face‑to‑Face...? Faith Value!

Hmm?

Sight him not refuting, during the elevator wait, Su Yang curiously said: "Really broken up?"

"Don't mention it, my heart is shattered." Lin Yang patted his chest, Brow filled with sadness.

Qin Weiyang glanced at him sideways, scoffing: "When has he ever dated, where does this broken‑up talk come from?"

"With your dead look, who could like you?"

Speaking of that, Lin Yang instantly became agitated: "My physique, looks, emotional intelligence, personality—what part can't match your ex‑boyfriends?"

"Although I'm not as handsome as Su Yang, Brain not as sharp as his, Mouth not as talkative as his, and my points not as high, what other low points do I have?"

"You underestimate me too much; flirting with girls aside, I can capture them with just a few words."

Qin Weiyang saw his reaction so strong, seemed to truly hit his sore spot.

"You've only been co‑habiting with another girl for less than half a day, and already built an extraordinary bond?"

"Also, I have no ex‑boyfriend."

Oh?

With that said, everyone looked at her with uniformly surprised faces.

Qin Weiyang flicked her hair, calmly: "They're all a bunch of childish boys, I don't like kids."

Lin Yang's face turned odd: "They probably all fear that if you say a word out of line they'll attack, scared that holding your hand would leave them crippled."

"Are you courting death?" Qin Weiyang said, rubbing her fists.

Su Yang held back his Smile, asked: "What on earth is going on?"

Lin Yang opened his Mouth, seeing others' theater‑like gazes, forcibly swallowed the words that had just reached his Mouth.

He Organizationed the following language, explaining: "It's just that the suddenly appearing Ascend God Dependents, I originally chose a roommate based on a name that sounded like a beauty."

"After much effort I chose a girl whose physique and looks were nearly perfect, and we got along well."

"You all surely don't understand that love‑at‑first‑sight feeling; when I first saw her, I was immersed in the river of love."

"At that moment, I seemed to wander in a gentle countryside; her every frown and Laugh made my heart dart like a fawn."

"Unfortunately…"

Speaking of this, Lin Yang sighed, "No one chose her, I can only watch helplessly as the Minotaur bursts into my home, right before my eyes, and …"

Everyone looked at each other, all bewildered.

Although one hasn't suffered others' hardships, one shouldn't advise others to be good.

But…

Is Lin Yang's behavior perhaps too exaggerated?

Just meeting once and falling in love, then boasting about a breakup, is somewhat making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Then shall I give her Resurrection?" Su Yang proposed.

"Really?" Lin Yang lifted his head, full of surprise, but upon seeing Su Yang's mocking gaze, his Laugh vanished instantly.

He lowered his Brain again, shaking his head and Brain, saying: "Forget it, what's destined will be, what's not cannot be forced; perhaps love is like that—she loves me, I love her, yet we cannot have a perfect ending."

"Ding!"

At that moment, the elevator reached the 12th floor.

"Idiot." Qin Weiyang was the first to step in.

She didn't want to waste more time listening to Lin Yang brag about his unfounded love.

Not only wasting life, but also wasting expressions.

"Hey, who are you insulting? My sincere heart is verifiable by heaven and earth, if you don't believe, try touching!" Lin Yang shouted.

"Scram!"

Amid giggles, the group arrived at the 25th‑floor lobby.

Previously this place hosted a masquerade ball, causing quite a stir.

However this time the attire was vastly different from before.

In front were twenty round tables, each bearing a placard inscribed with a player's name.

Su Yang's spot was naturally at the head table; his arrival made everyone glance sideways, the scene fell silent.

After he sat down, the others finally withdrew their gaze.

"He's Su Yang?"

"Looks very young, doesn't seem scheming."

"Judging by appearance is a big taboo, beware he might secretly mess with you."

"Some people are gold on the outside but rotten inside; what you say isn't without reason."

At this moment, a middle‑aged man at a corner table said lightly.

"Youning, do you know him?" a player at the main seat asked with interest.

"We've dealt before, his strength is decent, just a bit black‑hearted," Tang Youning said noncommittally.

Discussion about Su Yang was extremely heated, almost every table was debating.

At the same time, Lin Yang and his group also drew focused attention.

After all, being selected by a First Place player surely isn't just any ordinary person.

Noticing the gazes cast, Lin Yang straightened up, chin slightly raised, "Should've changed into a more formal outfit earlier."

Qin Weiyang ignored the Fire‑hot gaze, calmly: "Just a meal, not making you show your face."

Besides the five familiar people at this table, the remaining five found their seats in order.

The five first surveyed everyone present, their gazes finally landing on Su Yang.

For no other reason, a pair of distinctive red eyes were especially eye‑catching.

A man with an unremarkable face stood up, extended his hand, and said generously, "Boss, hello, I am Jiang Chengyu."

Su Yang is not unfamiliar with this name; he has drifted around the top ten of the Leaderboard many times.

This time the distance to the Ascend God plan is only one step away.

Su Yang stood up, extended his hand to shake his, and gave a slight nod, "Hello."

A fair‑skinned man at the neighboring seat followed suit, standing up, "Nice to meet you, I am Xi Jun."

"I am Ximen Zhirou, a native of Yu City."

"Yan Ke."

"Yu Ning."

Three men and two women introduced themselves in turn, each with a poised and generous temperament, none of them introverted.

That makes sense; according to their Rankings, setting aside character, their temperament must be extroverted.

Lin Yang quickly got along with them, his gaze occasionally flicking toward Yan Ke.

She was wearing a simple white T‑shirt and denim shorts, which outlined her delicate figure exquisitely.

A pair of lively eyes seemed to contain a pool of water, her Mouth corner constantly pursing a faint Laugh.

Her appearance may not rival Qin Weiyang's world‑shaking beauty, but her aura is especially striking.

When looks reach a certain level, the competition becomes about aura.

Obviously, Lin Yang liked her a lot; he tried several times to strike up conversation with Yan Ke, and she replied politely each time.

Neither advance nor Retreat, the level is grasped just right.

Precisely because of this, Lin Yang's curiosity grew ever stronger.

Su Yang took in her performance fully, his eyes narrowing.

As expected, the players he randomly selected were all not good folk.

Just by looking at that seat, Vision Perception alone can reveal the differences between them and Qin Weiyang and a few others.

It seemed there was an invisible wall in the middle, separating the two places.

After learning Lin Yang and the others' Rankings and points, the new friends showed no sign of contempt.

A mature game player would never look down on others for any reason.

When all 220 people were seated, the broadcast voice sounded again.
