Chapter 623: Yao Ri's Proposal! What Does It Have to Do with Me?

"Can we start? I'm a bit pressed for time."

Fox just sat down and wrote the Proposal lavishly on parchment, then set down the pen and scanned the members present.

Brow slightly curved, eyes with a smile.

It matches his Mask, exuding a cunning, deceitful aura.

"According to the rules, it's not your turn yet," Tiger said.

"Rules are dead, people are alive, and Divinity hasn't explicitly required that one cannot write before presenting a Proposal," Fox spread his hands innocently.

"Where are you from? This meeting clearly has only seven people, why is there an extra one?" Bai Lang asked.

Fox extended a Finger, counted each, and when he reached himself he nodded, "Indeed there is an extra one, why is that?"

"Stop pretending, how do you know about the Round Table Meeting, and how did you get in?" Beetle asked.

"We're all on the same ship, why such hostility?" Fox said, tone showing helplessness.

Then, adding another person adds three votes, and I can assure you I will cast all three.

"Sir, if you're looking for trouble you've chosen the wrong place; I'm not very patient, please explain the reason immediately," Lao Shu said.

Fox looked up at him and said, "Third Tier Gene Modification, Third Tier Exile Innate Talent, a good setup, no wonder you are fearless."

At that, Lao Shu's eyes suddenly widened, murderous intent flashing openly.

Seeing this, Su Yang was startled.

It was evident that with just one glance he could recount all of Lao Shu's background and proclaim it openly.

"Could his Innate Talent see through a player's foundation?" Su Yang's gaze grew solemn.

Deception is his greatest reliance, also the deepest secret he is unwilling to reveal.

Even to the closest, trusted people, he has never said it.

Of course, other players are also likely unwilling to have their backgrounds exposed.

But Fox came up playing this trick; how could he not cause alarm?

Feeling the Radiance emitted by Lao Shu, Fox whispered, "Don't mind, that's just how I am; my Mouth has no filter, I say whatever comes to mind."

"Then also don't mind, I have a hobby of killing," Lao Shu said coldly.

"Is that so?" Fox replied with little reaction, just laughing, "Then you'll be disappointed; killing is not allowed here."

The murderous intent in Lao Shu's eyes fully subsided, no chill remained.

It seemed the previous act was merely a superficial threat.

Su Yang did not take it to heart.

He has seen too many conspiracies; who knows if this drama is a self‑directed act by the two.

And…

An extra person does no harm to his plan.

On the contrary, three more votes might make it smoother.

"Oral Proposal begins, Yao Ri, please speak first, time limit five minutes."

When the broadcast sounded, the woman with the golden Mask spoke, "My Proposal is simple: open a Lending Channel, usable only for the Betting Duel, and after it ends force repayment of principal plus interest together."

"Interest is calculated at 5% per day, the loan start point is tied to the team's total Faith Value, capped at no more than 80% and not below 20%."

"Proposal concluded."

"Member Yao Ri's proposal time ends, now entering the Free Discussion Session, time limit 30 minutes."

Su Yang listened and roughly understood what Abacus she was making.

First, the two sides of the Betting Duel may not bet equally.

If the losing side's bet amount exceeds the winner's, he will lose all his bet.

But if the bet amount is less than the winner's, he will not only lose all Faith Value, and if remaining points are insufficient for deduction, they become negative, causing all players—including Ascend God seeds and Dependents—to be wiped out.

Thus, adding a Lending Channel lets the strong trample the weak at will.

They can harvest them with plan and purpose.

Not only can they eliminate the whole team, but also obtain the principal plus the Faith Value borrowed.

Thus, even accounting for high interest, it's not a loss at all.

Fox spoke first, "Good Proposal, borrowing Faith Value from Divinity, repaying everything after the Betting Duel, and based on total Faith Value, if the remaining amount is ample, one harvest can be nearly double the Faith Value."

However, Lao Shu objected, "5% daily interest? For a game lasting three or seven days that's fine."

"But what if it lasts half a year?"

"If you borrow 2000 Faith Value at once, that's 100 interest per day; over half a year that's 18,000, even if you win you can't repay the interest."

"Then our total Faith Value would become negative; what's the difference between winning and losing?"

Bai Lang said, "And no one can guarantee they win; the persimmon can of course be picked soft, but you cannot guarantee Dependents return safely."

"Everyone here surely knows that once this Proposal takes effect, the whole world will fall into chaos, everyone will try to gamble small for big, and those who don't borrow may miss out on a huge amount of Faith Value."

"Given this trend, you and I will have no Retreat; each Betting Duel must increase the Lending intensity, eventually impossible to extricate."

Gambling Dog will not die a good death.

This is common sense, also the reason many despise it.

If one has tasted the sweet, the subordinates' Dependents may no longer wish to dig for Hidden Achievements or rare Hidden Achievements.

Just need Clearance.

Anyway, borrowed money can lever a huge sum; even ignoring interest there's profit.

Evolution is ridiculously simple.

The main thing is Retreat.

Once fallen from power, one will plunge completely into the abyss.

No chance of survival.

In response, Yao Ri explained: "Lending depends on each person's ability; those with ability lend more, the weak lend less or not at all."

"I believe that after everyone has played the ninth Death Game, you should have witnessed the existence of the Old Era Remnant Faction."

"Their Gene Modification and Talent Evolution far surpass ours."

"And the Clash beyond Ascend God will inevitably meet them; by then, what will we contest with our game progress?"

"Only by making the Betting Duel larger can we earn the most Faith Value in the shortest time and strengthen the team!"

"As for the Retreat you speak of…"

"In this game of Clash with Old Era Players, is there any Retreat left now?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was moved.

Her words, though unpleasant, were indeed the truth.

"Then why resort to such an extreme method? Why not make a Proposal to receive a 50‑point Faith Value reward when obtaining an Ordinary Achievement? That way earning Faith Value would be both safe and stable!" Beetle asked.

"Stupid!"

Yao Ri scolded coldly, saying: "When players worldwide receive the same benefits as you, what advantage remains?"

"It is precisely by using extreme methods to harvest that we avoid any lingering concerns."

"Players who have never even obtained a Hidden Achievement, if they receive a High Faith Reward, will grow wildly in every aspect and disregard the Betting Duel."

"Please get the situation straight; the Round Table Meeting truly decides the future direction."

"But it decides the future of our group, not that of the world!"

"Securing the greatest benefit for ourselves will give us fewer opponents and more confidence in future Clashes."

"As for the Lower Class at the bottom…"

"Heh, what does that have to do with me?"
