Chapter 628: Deception Reversal! Passing the Hopeless?!

Other than that, I also thank the other friends who support me.

Including Beetle, Yao Ri, and Lao Shu, the three members—thank you for being willing to cast a vote for me, Su Yang nodded slightly in gratitude.

Bai Lang looked bewildered, "Silver Moon, are you crazy? I've never written your name before."

The Xingchen beside him did not show that attitude, but grew suspicious in his heart.

Clearly, as soon as the voting round ended, Silver Moon pulled this stunt, surely with some scheme in mind.

Not merely surface‑level chatter.

"Could it be… his aim is the Vote Type?" Xingchen thought.

Upon reaching that thought, he chose to remain silent.

Not only him, but also the other players whose names were called remained vigilant.

Everyone present was no fool; on the contrary, they were the very best among people.

If Heart Eyes were stacked together, they could even build a skyscraper.

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Silver Moon, why don't you thank me?" Fox said in a Yin‑Yang Dao tone.

Su Yang smiled at the corner of his eye, "Mr. Fox publicly announced the voting candidates in a grand manner; I still have that level of perception."

"Then why not guess how many votes Tiger has in total?" Fox stroked his mask, as if ready to take it off directly.

Yet when he pulled the mask half an inch away from his face, he suddenly burst into laughter and put it back on.

"I don't know others' Vote Types; I only focus on my own vote count."

"And I personally enjoy peeking; while everyone voted, I deliberately observed the actions of several people."

"Therefore I thank you, with no other intention," Su Yang said.

"What is yours is ultimately yours; what isn't yours can't be taken even by force. Since you know they voted for you, why not wait until the results are publicly announced before thanking? Isn't that like pulling down your pants to fart—pointless?" Fox teased aloud.

Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said calmly, "Of course gratitude should be expressed in advance; otherwise, after the results are announced, it would appear to others as a sympathetic act performed in the guise of a victor."

"I am a petty person, but I cannot commit such hypocrisy!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Fox clapped and cheered, "So that means… the members who were thanked all voted for you."

"But counting you, me, and Tiger, your vote total is at most five votes."

"And Tiger's vote count is at least five votes, possibly even six!"

"With such a result, how should you conduct yourself?"

Upon saying that, Su Yang narrowed his eyes, "Then naturally, congratulations; whether someone wins or not, as long as it benefits us and the era, any proposal is a good proposal."

"Mr. Silver Moon, your broad‑heartedness truly earns my respect; you are right, proposals that benefit the era's development are all good proposals," Fox said leisurely.

Somehow, Su Yang's usual temperament is steady; even if a building were to tilt, he could remain calm and composed.

Yet this guy's mouth and every sentence pierce the heart, truly making him feel irritated and displeased.

A sudden impulse to slaughter him sprouted in his heart.

They have never met, no grudges nor hatred.

Fox, however, often sets traps for him and openly displays hostility.

Such behavior, combined with that sense of familiarity, makes Su Yang doubt whether this Unexpected Guest before him is someone familiar.

"Tang Youning?" a silhouette floated in Su Yang's mind.

But he turned his head and discarded the thought.

Although Tang Youning successfully seized the Ascend God Seed Identity, given his ability, the chance of obtaining a rare Hidden Achievement is low.

Even with Wan Shi Tong beside him acting as a Military Advisor offering strategies.

But Cognition is just Cognition.

Newcomers to the Sea Area have no idea what a rare Hidden Achievement is.

Moreover, Tang Youning's physique differs greatly from the Fox before him, and his gaze is unlike his.

"If it's not Tang Youning, then who could it be?" Su Yang could not figure it out.

He does not recall holding a grudge against anyone.

Every player he fought was killed by him, except for one that slipped through the net; no other misses.

Given that, Su Yang was even more perplexed.

Fox appeared suddenly, with a clear purpose, and even teamed up with two members to target him.

No matter which angle you analyze, this guy is coming straight at him.

"An extra enemy for no reason?" Su Yang thought silently.

"'Deception' activation succeeded, Round Table Conference Member Bai Lang and Xingchen's Vote Types have changed!"

Hm?!

Su Yang was startled, abruptly looking up at Yao Ri, whose gaze met his.

Their eyes met; a faint, barely perceptible complexity flashed in her eyes, then vanished in an instant.

"Vote Type Public Announcement is about to commence!"

As the broadcast sounded, a white spotlight suddenly shone on Yao Ri's head.

Immediately, the Starry Sky above flickered with eight massive stars.

The next moment, the first one lit up.

The dazzling Radiance was blinding, yet everyone stared unblinkingly.

Fearing to miss any detail.

"Deng—"

The second star lit up.

Next came the third and fourth!

Just as everyone held their breath, the fifth remained unresponsive.

"Member Yao Ri, total four votes!"

Su Yang saw this and nodded silently; the result was about what he had expected.

The variation was not large.

The Lending matter is far‑reaching, and ultimately cannot satisfy everyone.

Moreover, there is more than one Conservative Faction on the stage; they find it rather difficult to go further.

Soon, the spotlight shifted to Beetle's head.

One, two…

"Only two votes?" Beetle furrowed its brow, then quickly relaxed.

The next several members' vote counts were roughly the same.

At most, none exceeded three votes.

Until Tiger…

"Here it comes!" Fox sat upright, excitement flashing in its eyes.

"Dun dun dun—"

Three lights lit in succession, the fourth followed immediately.

Seeing this, Fox burst into a hearty laugh, "Well done!"

"Dun!"

The fifth lit up, already the highest vote count so far.

Just as Su Yang thought it was over, the sixth suddenly flickered!

The Radiance shone as bright as daylight, beyond description!

"Six votes?!" Su Yang's pupils narrowed slightly.

"Hahaha…"

Tiger gave no reaction at first, but Fox laughed heartily.

At this, Su Yang's complexion darkened; the outcome he had hoped for ultimately turned to bubbles.

Fox and Tiger will not vote for him.

And he cannot cast a vote for himself.

Based on these two points, even at the maximum, the vote count can only reach five.

"Since that's the case, then we can only continue to Lie!" A sharp glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

If it fails, become a saint.

He wants the Faith Value.

He also wants Looting and Dependents!

However, just as Su Yang was about to speak, the spotlight already shone on his head!

Without giving him any reaction time, three stars lit up instantly!
