Chapter 615: Mere petty men, nothing more! Title—Heart‑Devourer!

To be generous, even if he succeeded in killing Zhu Xiang.

Facing the Watcher's Final Task, it must be total blindness.

Thus the terrifying aspect of this Hidden Achievement is evident.

It is far beyond what ordinary people can reach.

Rare is an understatement; the difficulty climbs another level, truly terrifying.

Thinking of this, Su Yang mused: "... Teams with high total Faith Value have obtained many rewards in the random Death Game by special means."

"It must be this reason that led their evolution path to go farther than ours."

"So in the end, Faith Value still has to be used on oneself."

"I propose that once the 'Betting Game' result is out, we immediately begin evolution."

"Each person must undergo at least one Gene Modification to cope with the possibly arriving Old Era Remnant Faction."

"Furthermore, each person should be equipped with at least one Primary All-Round Recovery Injection, and those with slightly weaker Innate Talent receive the Intermediate version."

"Any objections?"

Hearing this, the others pondered briefly and all nodded.

Indeed, that Old Era group made them realize the power of Gene Modification.

Although in some sense it cannot match Innate Talent.

But in a tightly regulated game, this is a great killing weapon!

Even at worst it can be used to survive, leaving no utter lack of retaliation.

As for the Primary All-Round Recovery Injection...

This thing costs ten Faith Points per unit, not expensive, great value for money.

But the Intermediate All-Round Recovery Injection...

"One unit for 100 Faith Points—does that seem too extravagant?" Jiang Chengyu expressed concern.

Compared with the primary, it merely adds a strengthening effect.

And its duration is short; if players have early warning, it might not work.

Overall, it's rather a chicken rib.

This ninety-point Faith Value gap is roughly enough to supply Lu Junsheng for one Gene Modification.

Ximen Zhirou also shares the same thought, "I think the primary is enough; there's no need to go higher."

"Moreover, Boss, you said to equip those with slightly weaker Innate Talent; to put it bluntly, Miss Qin wouldn't gain much from this injection's enhancement, at most she could fly a few meters higher."

"I suggest everyone stick with the primary, and use the rest for evolution."

The others gave no response, but their silence already revealed their thoughts.

Su Yang pondered briefly, nodded and said: "You make sense, so one primary each!"

The nine people total ninety Faith Points.

That accounts for roughly one twenty‑second of the total Faith Value.

Fully within tolerable range.

"By the way... why is Li Xin's group making no move at all?" Lin Yang asked.

Su Yang looked out the window, staring at the villa not far away.

Compared with the past two days, it now appears slightly desolate.

"What do they have to win with? With just the Boss alone they can take on them all," Xi Jun said.

"It's laughable, the Boss initially bet 200 Faith Points, yet that clueless group chose to raise the stakes, truly thinking themselves characters," Jiang Chengyu sneered with a smile.

"Perhaps they are overconfident in their abilities; if they win they blood‑profit, we get annihilated, if we lose we may be ruined, and they suffer no personnel losses," Luo Shuangshuang said.

"The 'Betting Game' is inseparable from gambling; that Li Xin fellow probably bets on us all dying," Qin Weiyang sneered.

As long as Su Yang dies, they win without even attacking.

"The main reason is that the Betting Game cannot be refused; that's the fundamental cause," Su Yang said slowly.

Li Xin's mindset is easy to gauge; he knows Su Yang will definitely choose himself.

The 200 Faith Points also let him see Su Yang's team's dwindling remaining amount.

Thus he directly chose to raise the bet.

If he wins, he profits countless; if he loses, he's short a hundred.

From any angle, this is the optimal solution.

Only…

He ultimately underestimated Su Yang's strength.

Likewise, Su Yang overestimated them.

Originally he was still uneasy because his Dependents had not returned.

He even reached a point where he couldn't eat.

Who could have thought the outcome would appear.

Mere petty men, nothing more.

His focus now is no longer on this world.

With a broader perspective, he discovers the true rivals are the Sea Area players outside.

If one remains immersed in present grudges, it's equivalent to wasting time.

Li Xin must die, but not through deliberate revenge; rather, his life should be taken lightly during the game.

Now they no longer have the right to be taken seriously by Su Yang.

"Boss, do you think Yan Ke and Wanrou will be trapped in the game like Old Era players?" Jiang Chengyu suddenly asked.

"Perhaps." Su Yang also did not dare to guarantee it.

If this is the result, it indicates that they probably have reached the secret of the Hidden Achievement.

Perhaps it is because the difficulty is too great, making it impossible to complete within the time limit.

But compared to that, he leans more toward the two already being dead.

Because even if they are still alive, we don't know when we would meet again.

"Actually, I hope we can join hands and go forward together, but losing two people in just one Death Game, and if there are subsequent games…" Jiang Chengyu stopped abruptly at this point.

His meaning was very clear.

He worries that there will be further reductions later.

"This is an inevitable result; we must learn to accept it, look forward, and focus our thoughts on more important matters," Su Yang said.

He is not close with Bai Wanrou and Yan Ke.

The latter is at most a nodding acquaintance.

As for the former…

The two had once braved the "Song of Blood and Fire" together, and there remains a degree of battlefield camaraderie between them.

Compared to Lu Junsheng's sorrow, he laments more the damage to the team's interests.

After all, if the two can return safely, they can contribute at least two hundred Faith Value to the team.

That is not a small amount.

Any reduction of a member is a huge shock to all members.

"Strive to improve yourself, try to keep your partners from worrying about you, and also fight for a chance for yourself."

"Life is like a game of chess; once a piece is placed, there is no regret. We must keep moving forward on this path, and we can only continue onward."

"I don't want any of you to die in the game; if possible, I want to take all of you together to the summit!" Su Yang said powerfully.

"Boss…" The looks of everyone were all complicated.

"Still the same words: the gamble is a sure win; use the remaining ten‑plus hours to rest well, and start the evolution tonight!" Su Yang said.

"Alright!"

When they returned to their respective rooms, Lin Yang and Qin Weiyang stayed by Su Yang's side.

The former said, "I think you should be a bit selfish, push your Innate Talent to the Third Tier, and also push Gene Modification to the Third Tier."

Qin Weiyang nodded in agreement, "You are the Core of our team; you must ensure your abilities reach the top tier."

Su Yang, hearing that, laughed, "I don't need you to tell me; I'll do it anyway. I've earned so much Faith Value, so of course I must prioritize myself."

As he spoke, he focused on that string of information in his Brain—
