Chapter 606
As the saying goes, haste makes waste.
Once power is lost, all efforts go to waste.
Seeing the portal's brilliant radiance shining dazzlingly, yet missing the chance by a hair.
The middle-aged man's eyes, which had been flashing with murderous intent, instantly cleared upon hearing Su Yang's words.
"You're willing to take me out?!"
Su Yang leaned against the door frame, smiling half-heartedly: "Of course, provided you can bring me equivalent value."
"Otherwise, why would I help you for no reason?"
The man seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, his eyes filled with hope, "Tell me your sea area and island, and after I get out, I'll gift you 5,000 Faith Points!"
"5,000?!" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.
"Not enough?" The man increased the offer without hesitation, "Then 8,000... still not enough? 10,000 should be fine, right!"
Hearing this number, Su Yang couldn't help but look strange.
He had fought tooth and nail, and with the double Faith Points buff, he had only obtained a little over 900 points.
This guy starts with 10,000?
Is the wealth gap really that big?
"Faith Points can be gifted?" Su Yang asked.
"Of course, no problem. As long as I know your sea area prison number and you tell me your name, it just takes a simple procedure," the man nodded repeatedly.
His pale face looked slightly ferocious.
There was no doubt this person had been trapped in the 'Seven-Day World' for some time.
One must know that Zhu Xiang had stayed here for a full five years, and during his time as a 'Watcher', the portal had never opened.
This meant that even if the man had the heart, he had no way to escape.
He had been waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to bypass the rules and escape this place!
It was just a pity he was one step short, his conspiracy seen through by Su Yang, and he fell at the final hurdle.
"Why should I trust you?" Su Yang raised his eyelids slightly and said slowly, "What if you lie to me? Wouldn't I be a sucker?"
"Furthermore, you're a Tier 3 gene-modified player, at most a Tier 3 talent evolution player. Why would you have 10,000 Faith Points?"
"You're neither an 'Ascend God' seed, nor has your own scale shown your 'financial power'. Are you taking me for a newbie who just entered the game?"
Seeing Su Yang was unmoved, the man's face sank, but he quickly returned to normal, "I don't have that many Faith Points myself, but my team does."
"They will pay 10,000 Faith Points for me!"
Oh?
Su Yang's interest grew, and he asked curiously, "Why?"
"Because I know how to ascend the Golden Throne!" the man said loudly.
Golden...
Throne?
"What is that?" Su Yang asked.
"You don't know?" The man was startled.
"Should I know?"
The man's eyes were full of doubt, but then he seemed to think of something and realized, "You must have just become an 'Ascend God' seed, and don't know much about the secrets of this world."
"Tell me in detail, I'm very interested." Su Yang expressed his intent without reservation.
The man pondered for a moment, organized his language, and explained: "The so-called Golden Throne is the final destination for 'Ascend God' seeds."
"Only by ascending that throne is one truly transcendent."
"Shedding the mortal body and becoming a true god!"
Su Yang's eyes widened slightly, and he immediately asked, "How do you know this secret?"
"To tell you the truth, I have been here for twenty years. During this time, I have met countless players and learned about many players from other sea areas."
"Fifteen years ago, I 'faked my death' and accidentally learned the news that the Golden Throne was about to appear. At that time, that player told his partner in the mass grave—"
"When the throne appears, ten thousand fish worship!"
Swimming fish?!
Hearing the keyword, Su Yang raised his head abruptly, "All the fish in the sea areas swim in the direction of the Golden Throne?"
"That's right, this is the worship!" the man nodded.
"What else did he say?" Su Yang asked again.
Seeing Su Yang's breathing become slightly rapid, the man realized it was a good time to seize the initiative.
A faint smile played on his lips as he said unhurriedly, "Wanting to know the answer is no problem, I only have one condition—take me out."
"Who knows if you're making this up," Su Yang said.
"Since you know about the worship, you must already have an answer in your heart about the authenticity of my information." The man sat on the ground, no longer in a hurry.
"One piece of information worth 10,000? I'm not that rich yet," Su Yang said lightly.
"Don't be too greedy. This is an opportunity that many 'Ascend God' seeds can't even beg for," the man said.
"Are you the only one in the world familiar with the Golden Throne? I really don't believe other 'Ascend God' seeds are idiots."
"Calculating the time, you should be a player from the New Era, right? In terms of gameplay, you've just come into contact with the big world and have only a half-understanding of many things," the man asked.
Seeing Su Yang didn't speak, the arc of the man's mouth grew wider,
"To put it bluntly, you bunch of greenhorns don't even understand the game rules, where would you know about the Golden Throne?"
"Old Era players wouldn't price it like I do; they would rather die than expose even a fraction."
"Wouldn't speak even in death?" A coldness appeared in Su Yang's eyes.
"Of course, the throne is of great importance. As long as a player from a certain era sits in that position, all players belonging to that era can be spared from the suffering of 'execution'."
"Not only that, the Faith Points obtained from playing the game have a certain coefficient bonus."
"In addition, there are endless benefits, and even..."
"Resurrection!" the man said word by word.
"You mean players from countless eras are competing for the Golden Throne together?" Su Yang asked.
"That's right. As far as I know, the throne has only appeared three times in a hundred years. The time of appearance is not fixed, and there was no sign before it appeared."
"And I... not only know the time of the next appearance of the Golden Throne, I also know how 'Ascend God' seeds can quickly sit in that position," the man said.
Su Yang looked directly into his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Sounds very impressive."
"You definitely won't lose out on this deal with me!" the man said.
"But there are many loopholes in your words," Su Yang touched his chin and said.
"What did you say?"
"First, you said you heard the news about the Golden Throne during your twenty years of 'fake death', specifically that you heard it from a player."
"Second, you mentioned that this secret wouldn't be revealed even in death, as it concerns the fate of an entire era."
"Finally, as a player hiding in the game, how could you know about changes in the outside world?"
"Not to mention the time the Golden Throne appears."
"To sum it up, you are just a complete liar, full of nonsense."
"But from your standpoint, it's not hard to understand. After all, you're trying to survive, lying to a 'kid'..."
"It's not shameful."
