Chapter 637: Stinky and Hard! When the Moment Is Ripe…

Huang Hua's brow twitched, his gaze flickered.

Su Yang didn't press either; he already knew what the other wanted, and having seized the initiative, he naturally had no need to worry about a reversal.

At the negotiation table, the most important thing was not sharp words.

It was precisely grasping what the other side sought.

Based on that, expanding outward, then pinning the lifeline.

Huang Hua initially planned to force Su Yang into a lower position by intimidation.

But he didn't expect that, having gone through the Round Table Meeting, Su Yang had already seen through it; the trick was indeed useful.

But it depends on who it's against.

"One day is too little; my Deduction needs at least fifteen hours," Huang Hua shook his head.

"Your Deduction takes time, but Wan Shi Tong can acquire intelligence without it; you just write the information you want on paper, let him retrieve it item by item, and that's it," Su Yang offered him a suggestion.

"That's not enough; the Deduction process will be hindered by incomplete information, and I need him to adapt on the fly," Huang Hua said.

"Then evolve your innate talent, compress time!" Su Yang said, glancing toward his palm, and continued: "If I'm not mistaken, your innate talent is currently Second Tier, still some way from Third Tier."

"After the next Death Game ends, evolution will come naturally, the Deduction ability will improve, and compressing time won't be hard."

Huang Hua said nothing, merely sipping tea.

Su Yang wasn't in a hurry either, simply keeping him company while he drank.

At this moment the negotiation had reached a critical juncture; only one side bowing would enable the deal.

Yin Yun, having listened for a while, saw the atmosphere growing awkward and spoke up: "How about each of you retreat a step, two days, okay?"

"No!" the two said in unison.

Huang Hua was startled by the voice, gave a wry smile, and said: "Mr. Su truly is as Tang Youning described, a hard bone."

"Brother Huang, you're flattering me; I'm not a bone at all, at most a Stone in a cesspit—both smelly and hard," Su Yang said slowly.

"Self‑deprecation, in my view, isn't self‑mocking humility,"

"The fact is just that; if I were a nice guy, would Tang Youning bother to expend so much effort, taking such a big detour just to mess with me?"

"Three days, must be three days!"

"That's not how a deal works; raising your demands only further wears down my patience."

"The information about the Golden Throne is so valuable, could it still be less than three days?"

"Mr. Huang seems to have mistaken the Cause and Effect; I came to you to set up an early warning, not because I must have you," Su Yang slightly lifted his eyelids and continued:

"Deduction is currently outstanding, but as intelligence becomes increasingly transparent, you will have no more advantage."

"Not to hide it from you, I can certainly invest great effort in cultivating Wan Shi Tong; as long as I stack Faith Value, he can become a weapon that never fails."

"By then I won't need you, nor will I need to negotiate with you as now."

"Brother Huang should know well that personal value is the only thing that makes people look at you differently."

"That's also why Yin Yun is willing to spare no expense using Wish Qualification for you; you surely aren't naively thinking it's due to your personal charm, right?"

Huang Hua gulped a mouthful of tea and almost choked to death.

"Cough cough cough!"

He quickly fetched a napkin, wiped the tea from his face, and helplessly shook his head: "Mr. Su needn't make his point so explicit; I actually understand the reasoning."

Su Yang smiled and said: "I hadn't intended to go this far, but Brother Huang is impermeable, so I could only resort to this measure; if I've offended, I hope you'll forgive me."

"This..." Huang Hua thought and said: "If Mr. Su later has a consultation need, bring Wan Shi Tong over, I'll help you once, and you help me once."

"That makes it even more impossible; if your Deduction concerns a world‑shaking secret, wouldn't I have to stay with you in a room for ten days, half a month?" Su Yang said with a half‑smile.

Huang Hua saw Su Yang hadn't taken the bait, and felt even more helpless.

He realized that the handsome young man before him truly was, as he described, both smelly and hard!

No courtesy at all.

Like a turtle in a pond, biting and never letting go.

"I think we don't need to waste time here any longer; Mr. Su, bring your most sincere condition," Huang Hua suggested.

Su Yang blurted out, "Twenty‑four hours, no negotiation."

Huang Hua's expression stiffened; after a brief change he sighed deeply: "I truly lost to you."

"Brother Huang needn't feel shortchanged; Wan Shi Tong's capability will be even more impressive than you imagine, this deal will definitely profit you!" Su Yang smiled.

"Do you have absolute confidence in securing him?" Huang Hua shifted the topic.

"Nothing is absolute; can't you also guarantee you'll be alive to see the sun a month from now?"

"To ensure fairness of the deal, this time I'll only tell you a key piece of information about ascending the Golden Throne, Mr. Su no objections?" Huang Hua said.

He didn't want to lay everything out before the crucial moment.

Although Su Yang is good at drawing a cake, he isn't foolish.

He won't easily loosen his mouth before seeing tangible benefits.

Otherwise, if Su Yang dies in the next Death Game, wouldn't he become a dupe?

"To show sincerity, I promise that when I later seek intelligence from you, I'll have Wan Shi Tong assist you on the side," Su Yang said.

"Really?" Huang Hua's eyes lit up.

"A gentleman's word is a swift horse's whip."

"Fine!"

Su Yang saw his eyebrows rise in delight, and his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

A blow to the head followed by a sweet date, and Huang Hua would feel he's made Blood Profit, even grateful.

Human nature is just like that.

Su Yang may be adept at lying, but that doesn't mean he can fully see through others' lies.

Therefore, if Huang Hua hides contraband in the Intelligence, Su Yang will have no means of defense.

Thus, using this method not only makes him grateful, but also greatly reduces risk.

The importance of the Golden Throne is currently incomparable; no errors are permitted.

Huang Hua Fire speed drank the tea in the cup cleanly, then said seriously: "To ascend the Golden Throne one must be an Ascend God Seed to qualify; that needs no further explanation."

"Secondly there is another necessary condition; it must be fulfilled to grasp the opportunity."

"You speak." Su Yang nodded slightly.

"Place Death in the Next Generation!" Huang Hua, with a solemn expression, spoke each word deliberately.

Hm?

Su Yang was startled, Brow furrowed, "Literal meaning?"

"Exactly." Huang Hua nodded.

"Are you teasing me?" Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

"From my past actions you should see some clues; would you truly think I accept death merely to make you finish the game quickly?" Huang Hua asked.

"So you had already deduced the existence of the Golden Throne during that Death Game?"

"No, I only deduced something extraordinary; I'm not clear what exactly it is." Huang Hua straightened his thoughts and said:

"Death is not the end; on the contrary, only a Death Challenge can leap out of the Divinity's vision; the Divine is not all‑powerful, it only acts as it wishes within its jurisdiction."

"You mean… to ascend the Golden Throne one must evade the Divinity's vision?" Su Yang asked.

"Exactly, the king does not see the king, the Divine will not allow more Deities to appear; this is Iron Law, also humanity!" Huang Hua said in a deep voice.

Not only must one be hostile to the players.

But also to…

The Divine as enemy?!

Su Yang's heart suddenly sank to the abyss; the difficulty was many times greater than he had imagined.

"What should I do?"

"When the time is ripe…"

Huang Hua said seriously: "Death Challenge!"
