Accompanied by a whirlwind of sky and earth turning, when I opened my eyes again I was back in the familiar 'cage'.

Here it comes!

The massive stone weighing on Su Yang's mind finally dropped.

He almost thought he had no chance at the settlement.

Fortunately the rules were lenient, not treating him as a true 'Dead Person'!

"Over thirteen hundred Faith points earned, this round is a windfall." Su Yang couldn't help licking his lower lip, excitement flashing in his eyes.

Add the bonuses from the other dependents, plus the gambling results…

He is now wealthy enough to reach a brand‑new realm.

"The only thing to worry about now is whether Wan Shi Tong can make it out alive."

Thinking this, Su Yang looked around, only to find he was alone in the massive Villa.

"A seven‑day game, finished in three days; looks like I'll have a seat at this Round Table Meeting as well." Su Yang mused.

The last time, only seven people in the entire era earned an SSS Rating.

As his understanding of the game deepened, his play became more proficient, his talent grew stronger, a 3S Rating is just a matter of time.

Therefore, Su Yang has every reason to believe that the qualification for the Round Table Meeting is inevitably linked to clearance time.

The earlier one obtains a rare hidden achievement, the more outstanding the ability.

The night drifts on, solitary.

Su Yang opened the fridge, glanced at the ingredients, selected a piece of marbled pork belly to defrost, and immediately cooked a pot of rice.

"Got the meat, can't skip the vegetables either."

So he placed an order in the Shop for a 250‑gram portion of bok choy.

When the seagull delivery arrived, Su Yang gave it a quick rinse and heated the pot directly.

In fact, in this world food other than blood‑stained meat doesn't need washing at all.

Vegetables are immune to pests and never develop diseases.

"I recall… Lin Yang seemed to stir‑fry it like this, right?" Su Yang mimicked Lin Yang's movements from memory, cooking it up, and when the aroma burst, he sprinkled a pinch of salt for flavor.

The pork belly is also simple: a high‑heat stir‑fry with chicken essence, soy sauce, and garlic, and it's done.

He plated the hot dish, fetched a bowl the size of a head, filled it with rice, and carried it to the table.

"It's been almost twelve hours without food; not to mention swords or spears, I'd starve to death first."

Su Yang, 'buried in hard work', swept the meat and vegetables away like a wind scattering lingering clouds.

Just as he was eating with gusto, a silhouette suddenly fell from mid‑air in the living room.

"Bang!"

It was followed by a tirade of curses.

"Dammit, can't you make a decent return? If people see me, where will they put this handsome face of mine as a joke?"

Su Yang raised an eyebrow; without even looking, he knew the second returnee was Lin Yang himself.

"Hungry? Want some?" Su Yang asked.

"Su Yang?!" Lin Yang, overjoyed, hurried to the table, "You came back this fast?"

"Can't have you crawling on my head every single time, can we?" Su Yang smiled faintly.

"When did you get back? I busted my butt to clear, almost left my life hanging inside." Lin Yang rushed to the kitchen, fetched a bowl, filled it with rice, and found a seat.

Looking at the dish before him, its color unremarkable but fragrant, he couldn't help saying: "In my lifetime, I'm lucky enough to eat your cooking."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute." Su Yang retorted irritably, then pushed the meat toward him.

Lin Yang picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up, "Not bad."

"If it's good, eat more; you usually worry about the whole family."

"Speaking of that, I need to eat too; just a few more mouths to feed." Lin Yang waved his hands repeatedly.

Seeing him wolf‑down the food, Su Yang shook his head and laughed, "You must have encountered the Old Era Remnant Faction in this Death Game, right?"

At that, Lin Yang chewed and said, "Just thinking of those guys makes me angry; not only do they huddle for warmth, they also set traps specifically for us New Era players."

The game theme I'm playing is "Detective Theme", it started off fine, but the more I played, the more something felt off.

Those few brutes deliberately sabotaged the scene and even threw the pot onto our heads.

Turning the tables on them finally made them understand, my lungs are about to explode!

Su Yang heard this and, without taking a side, said, "Banding together for warmth and jointly resisting outsiders is neither right nor wrong; haven't we encountered allied players in games before?"

"The nature is different; if the big ones ran on the same line it would be fine, but their Talent Evolution and Gene Modification levels are higher than ours, and they've lived that long."

"What difference is there between this and high‑level players in online games running to Newbie Village to fish?" Lin Yang shouted angrily.

Although the metaphor isn't that precise, the fact is indeed so.

"And then, how did you break the deadlock?" Su Yang asked with interest.

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang straightened his waist, a proud look on his face, and said, "Of course it was thanks to my clever brain."

"They set traps, I set traps too; I like playing the shady way, so I'll covertly kill them!"

"I deliberately act like a fool, while secretly copying Talent."

"How does that line go again…?"

"Oh! Work hard quietly, then astonish everyone!"

Su Yang raised his thumb, "It seems your game skill has improved a lot; you can already shoulder the main beam alone."

"Indeed, with gold and jade ahead, if I don't properly absorb the experience, wouldn't that be a waste?" Lin Yang chuckled.

While boasting, he also cleverly flattered.

Su Yang gave a helpless smile, just as he was about to ask, a clang rang out.

"Su Yang, your eyes—" Lin Yang widened his eyes, about to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"I suggest you… go see for yourself!"

"Hm?"

Su Yang saw his expression wasn't joking, so he ran to the restroom and looked at his own reflection.

He saw his eyes, once as splendid as a Red Gemstone, now changing to brown at a visible speed.

The noble aura between his brows was rapidly fading.

Su Yang leaned close to the mirror, watching his pupil color revert to the original, his heart jolted.

"My eyes…"

"Faded!?"
