Chapter 536: Game Mechanics Upgraded! Friends Are Just for Trouble!

Anyone who has played games knows that the so‑called rare is an existence one level higher than a certain thing.

Literally it's not hard to understand; a rare hidden is a tier above a hidden achievement.

"The game mechanics have been upgraded, the rewards have changed from points to Faith Value…" Su Yang murmured.

Only the reward points are a bit too few.

One achievement is only worth 5 points.

All together that's just 20 Faith Value.

And the Double Clearance Reward plus the dependents' total Faith Value together barely break the five‑hundred threshold.

For now it's unknown whether that's a lot or a little.

"Have you all received your scores?" Lin Yang asked.

"Got it, I'm B Rank," Qin Weiyang nodded.

"I'm B too," Jiang Chengyu frowned.

"I'm C…" Luo Shuangshuang said.

"I'm C as well."

"Hmm?"

Su Yang's face showed puzzlement; this suddenly appearing Death Game had no warning at all.

But he boasted that the team's performance wasn't bad.

Although the process was a bit rough, at least all members are safe, which counts as a perfect clearance.

One must know that this Sea Area has no usable items; apart from Innate Talent, only a corpse can be employed.

"Just judging by how many achievements there are, the scores are low, so other players' scores are probably not much higher either," Lin Yang speculated.

"It's hard to say; the 'Hidden Achievement - Shark Hunter' looks as hard as scaling heaven, but Jiang Chengyu almost did it," Su Yang said.

Under the influence of 'Crazy', if the Orca adds extra force, it might be able to bite it dead within the time limit.

In that case it would definitely count as Jiang Chengyu's 'Masterpiece'.

At this moment, the 136 surviving players on the beach have fluctuating expressions, all calculating the possible impact of their scores.

Undoubtedly, these top performers who have reached the Third Stage Prison have never tasted defeat.

Which Death Game hasn't surged like a blade of grass straight to the core?

Yet this time they met Waterloo.

They actually received a C Rank that even a dog wouldn't want.

Some even got D Rank.

The players who got the lowest scores had faces as black as coal; compared to surviving, they couldn't bear to win by lying down.

The fact is, those who contribute nothing and only cling to others can only earn the 'Escape From Death' achievement.

"This game is way too hard; getting an S Rank is basically impossible!"

"And the time is short, there's no chance to think about how to get more achievements."

"The hidden achievement is absurd; you make my mortal body hunt a great shark, what does Divinity think?"

"I just want to ask who got an A Rank score?"

The crowd kept debating, and when talking about the rewards they seemed to find kindred spirits and cherished each other.

At that moment, Yin Yun walked toward Su Yang, his face solemn, and asked, "Did you notice?"

"Hmm, the difficulty is rising sharply; the road ahead is probably rough," Su Yang nodded slightly.

"I think the rare hidden achievement isn't without purpose; maybe some player has already gotten it," Yin Yun whispered.

"That kilometer‑long Big Orca… can anyone kill it?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

"With over twenty‑million surviving players, there are always a few who can surprise," Yin Yun said.

"Perhaps…"

Su Yang spoke calmly, saying that to reach this point, unless the player's Innate Talent is extraordinarily Defying Heaven, able to directly dismantle a living being.

Or if some condition is met, blowing its heart.

Beyond that, he couldn't think of any other means.

The flesh body is even less of an option; currently the big one's physical limits are right here.

"Let's go, check the dormitory," Su Yang chatted briefly and led the group inland.

Leaving the beach, they walked along a path deeper inland; the scenery along the way was stunning, the salty sea breeze mingling with the scent of vegetation pierced the Nasal Cavity.

Although the weather was hot, it couldn't dampen people's enthusiasm and curiosity for the new environment.

"So many coconut trees!"

Lin Yang's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a New Continent.

He scrambled up like a monkey in a few moves, and with a light swipe of the Small Knife he plucked one down.

The coconut with a large head glowed with a pale yellow sheen, indicating it was ripe.

"Swish—"

Lin Yang skillfully cut a slit, then glanced at the clear coconut water and instinctively licked his lips.

As he was about to take a refreshing sip, a strange sound came from beside him.

"Glug—"

Following the sound, Lin Yang looked and saw Wang Yuning staring straight at the coconut, his eyes filled with intense longing.

He glanced at the coconut, then at her leg, reached out and handed it, "Here."

"I don't need it, you drink," Wang Yuning waved her hand repeatedly.

After this period of interaction, Lin Yang has roughly figured out the personality of the newly joined member.

Wang Yuning is a typical trouble‑averse type.

She doesn't like to trouble others, and also doesn't want others to trouble her.

Moreover, she is very low‑key, the kind of girl who stays silent in a crowd, quietly listening to others speak.

Only when she occasionally hears something fun or funny does she look up.

She shows a faint Smile.

Lin Yang doesn't think that, to this day, any introverted player could survive.

At first, he thought Wang Yuning was a slow‑warming type, that once familiar she might let herself loose.

But since she selflessly saved Su Yang, his view has changed dramatically.

A gentleman judges deeds, not the heart.

Lin Yang, without further discussion, forcefully stuffs a coconut into her hand, waves the Small Knife in his hand, "No need to be polite, I'll just go get another."

After speaking, he quickly climbs up, cuts off several coconuts and tosses them down.

Qin Weiyang and Su Yang catch them steadily, then hand one to each person.

Seeing that the big ones are all there, Wang Yuning relaxes, lowers her head and takes a sip.

Her Brow instantly curves into a crescent shape, and her Mouth holds a hint of a smile.

"So sweet—"

"If you want to drink, just tell your Yang Ge anytime; coconut trees are everywhere here, I can pick them for you anytime," Lin Yang says, patting his Chest.

"No trouble."

"What a bother, being bored in prison is a whole batch; even if you don't say it, I'll find something to do myself, consider it helping me digest the coconuts I can't finish drinking," Lin Yang says.

"Then…"

Before she finishes speaking, Su Yang jumps in: "From now on, you need to shift your mindset."

"We are a collective; everyone present is no longer alone. I know you might not agree with this, but that's the fact."

"Fighting alone is now history; I don't force anyone to open up to the big ones, you just need to be clear… we are not enemies."

"The word 'friend' might be a luxury for you; perhaps try letting down your guard."

"Friend…"

Su Yang smiles, "It's just something to trouble with."

"Boss is right; since I chose to make you this friend, why not trouble me with it?" Xi Jun echoes.

"Indeed, you are now our great benefactor, having saved the Ascend God Seed's life, which is equivalent to saving nine of us; we all have to thank you," Qin Weiyang says.

"Everyone…" Wang Yuning, who has never seen such a scene, feels a few bits of awkwardness and discomfort in her eyes.

But listening to their heartfelt words, a warm current inevitably flows through her heart.

At this moment, she lifts her head, gently nods, "Alright, I will."
