Chapter 720: Brand‑New Talent — 'Weakness'! I'll Be With You!

~6 min read 1,184 words

It begins!

Waves of radiance envelop Qin Weiyang's entire body; from a distance, it looks like a humanoid cocoon.

Everyone's heart rose to their throats, extremely nervous.

Especially Lin Yang and Su Yang.

The three are comrades who have faced life and death together; now Qin Weiyang's Talent Reset, the outcome remains unknown.

"It shouldn't be worse than 'Light Feather', right?" Lin Yang muttered softly, fearing to disturb the reset process.

"Not necessarily; Boss just said earlier that everything is random, no one can guarantee whether it's good or bad," Wang Yuning said.

"Miss Qin's temperament is steadfast; she's a heroine among women. That she has reached this point thanks to this 'Unorthodox' talent is truly rare," Lu Junsheng sighed.

"Indeed, back in the initial prison, when Su Yang and I first learned her name, we were both shocked," Lin Yang recalled, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

What he misses is not the harsh life and conditions in the prison, but the courage and drive the three shared while exploring this world.

"Was she strong before?" Ximen Zhirou asked curiously.

"Yes, she topped the leaderboard in the first two Death Games; Su Yang, as a later entrant, rose above, and the three of us fought our way through countless hardships to get here," Lin Yang nodded.

"That camaraderie... truly rare," Luo Shuangshuang couldn't help but show a hint of envy.

In this world of deceit and constant scheming, genuine affection is indeed hard to come by.

There was a time when she had friends she could talk about anything with, chatting about all sorts of gossip and munching on all kinds of rumors.

But once she entered the prison, the past faded like a fleeting illusion, vanishing without a trace.

Luo Shuangshuang massaged her temples, fatigue evident in her eyes.

She herself doesn't know what mindset has carried her this far—perhaps a simple desire for survival, or perhaps an unwillingness to simply die.

As Su Yang said, one must have something to look forward to in life.

Luo Shuangshuang thought about the question earnestly, yet found no answer.

Just as she was bewildered, the Light Cocoon enveloping Qin Weiyang suddenly quivered.

"Is it about to appear?" Ximen Zhirou widened his eyes, daring not to miss any detail.

"Buzz—"

The Light Cocoon shattered with a roar, and a stunningly beautiful face suddenly came into view.

At that moment, everyone's heart rose to their throats, their eyelids refusing to blink.

The radiance fully receded; Qin Weiyang's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

"How is it?!" Lin Yang blurted out, his words tinged with a hint of caution.

He knew well that if the result were worse than last time, Qin Weiyang would feel she had let the big guy's expectations down.

Therefore Lin Yang didn't act overly enthusiastic.

"Seems... not bad," Qin Weiyang's brows and eyes curved, a smile at the corner of her eye.

"Really? What did the reset turn into? Tell us!" Lin Yang felt a stone in his heart slowly settle, then he rejoiced.

"It's a pretty good talent for me," Qin Weiyang added.

"Hey, stop teasing, you're making me die of anxiety," Lin Yang paced impatiently.

Sensing the crowd's expectant gazes, Qin Weiyang steadied herself and declared, "'Weakness'!"

"Hm?" Lin Yang was startled, then asked, "Literal meaning?"

"Pretty much; its main effect is to weaken a player's Evolution Level," Qin Weiyang nodded.

"Huh?" The others' faces changed.

They had assumed that 'Weakness' meant, like in a game, slowing the enemy and reducing his strength.

But they never imagined it actually affected Evolution Level?!

A single character difference makes the meaning worlds apart.

One should know that Evolution Level includes Gene Modification and Innate Talent Evolution.

If both were weakened together, wouldn't it reduce low Evolution Level players to Normal Difficulty?

"Quickly tell us, how much exactly is it weakened?" Lin Yang instantly got excited.

"My current talent is Second Tier, so it correspondingly weakens Evolution Level by two tiers," Qin Weiyang explained.

"I'm super?!" Ximen Zhirou couldn't hold back a curse.

No wonder Qin Weiyang said this talent suits her perfectly.

It's literally tailor-made!

In battle, applying 'Weakness' to the opponent suddenly strips most of their power and talent strength.

If her talent level is higher than the opponent's, she could even turn them into a creature with Unbound Chicken Strength.

Totally at her discretion!

"Could the reset itself be tailor-made?" Lin Yang suddenly conceived an idea.

"It is; when you were first 'kidnapped' in, the talent was extracted—this itself is a reward custom-made for each individual," Luo Shuangshuang said.

"So that means... my 'Copy' is because I like handling corpses?" Lin Yang's face turned slightly stiff.

"Honestly, Yang Ge also has a corpse‑loving fetish; forgive this little lady's bluntness," Luo Shuangshuang's eyes flashed with slyness.

"Go, go, go, away!" Lin Yang said irritably.

Tailor‑made, huh?

Su Yang's expression turned odd.

His original talent was 'Recognize Thief as Father'.

Could Divinity think he's a born lowly bone?

Absurd!

"Congratulations, you've been reborn." Su Yang gave a faint smile.

Qin Weiyang Vision Perception Su Yang, softly said, "Thank you."

"We're all family, no need to say that." Su Yang waved his hand.

"Even close brothers must settle accounts clearly; I have recorded this favor." Qin Weiyang said seriously.

Su Yang saw her so persistent, must be her stubborn Spleen temper resurfacing.

Unable to argue with her Spleen nature, he simply accepted gladly.

"This is truly a priceless treasure; luckily I didn't disappoint the big fellow." Qin Weiyang said.

"I've changed my mind; if there's another chance like this, I'd like to try as well." Luo Shuangshuang pretended to be extremely annoyed.

"Don't, I just said it's tailor‑made; you inherently have Self‑Healing, even if Reset, it's definitely linked to a cowardly Talent." Lin Yang repeatedly warned.

"You get out!"

"Haha…"

After the laughter and chatter, Lin Yang's mood was great.

The gloom in his heart, originally created by Jiang Chengyu, vanished instantly.

At this moment he clearly understood a principle—

Only the people around you are the most important.

The other players are merely fleeting mortal passersby.

You can chat, but not share hearts.

Rather than pursuing a gentlemanly friendship as bland as water, in his view it's not as good as life being like first meeting.

To celebrate this historic day, Lin Yang applied his lifelong learning and prepared a huge table full of dishes.

At the dining table, everyone enjoyed themselves, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, enveloped in warm affection.

And that day, the smile on Qin Weiyang's face was more than all previous smiles combined.

Su Yang Vision Perception all this in his eyes, feeling rather fortunate.

Fortunate that he was granted this Talent Reset opportunity.

Finally he knocked open Qin Weiyang's long‑frozen heart door.

As if sensing Su Yang's gaze, Qin Weiyang turned his head and met his eyes.

Mouth moved slightly, opening and closing.

Su Yang's mouth corner held Laugh, Vision Perception understood her lip language—

"From now on you won't have to fly so hard alone."

"I will accompany you!"
