Chapter 721: Fourth Tier

…

"Are you ready?"

"Come on."

"Are you sure you're ready?"

"Stop dawdling, hurry up!"

In the living room, Lin Yang pinched the remote and solemnly retrieved four hundred Faith Value points, adding them all to Su Yang.

A burst of Golden Light shot out and, with perfect precision, merged into his Heavenly Spirit Cover.

In an instant, a marvelous aura surged forth, bringing a sense of inner peace.

"Boss, is this to… evolve Evolution Talent?" Yu Ning, having eaten and drunk, sat beside them cleaning residue with dental floss.

"Yes, Su Yang alone has earned that much Faith Value; how could we only give him Gene Modification."

"Moreover, he is the absolute mainstay of our team; after the next Death Game ends, the Ascend God Seed will still return to his hands."

"So his ceiling determines the ceiling of our entire team," Lin Yang said.

Yu Ning strongly agreed.

Throughout the journey she has also witnessed Su Yang's leadership charisma and his Divine gaming prowess.

So far she has never seen a player more dazzling than him.

Even the mighty Old Era Remnant Faction, in Su Yang's eyes, appears merely a lowly chicken or dog, breakable with a snap of the finger.

Yu Ning prides herself on being clever and agile, yet lacks confidence that she can defeat Su Yang in the same game.

She exudes an aura of always holding the winning ticket, unbeatable.

From a macro-level grasp of the big picture, one can already discern the signs.

"What if this time we evolve to Fourth Tier, how terrifying would that be?" Yu Ning couldn't help but think.

A familiar pleasant sensation swept his whole body, and Su Yang felt he was moving toward a brand-new dimension of existence.

This profoundly mysterious feeling was utterly captivating.

At the same time, he felt as if he possessed a certain controlling power.

Indescribable, inexplicable.

After a while, accompanied by a faint sound like a bubble bursting, the Heart-shaped Imprint between Su Yang's brows suddenly blossomed into radiant light.

"Evolution succeeded? So quickly?" Yu Ning's hand, which was picking at his teeth, suddenly halted.

Su Yang slowly opened his eyes, and a wisp of refined light flickered and vanished.

"How does it feel?" Lin Yang asked immediately.

"Excellent."

【Deceit (Fourth Order): After activating the ability, you can perform a 'Deceit' action on players; if one-third of them believe it, the lie becomes reality, with a 25% chance of directly convincing them】

It increased the probability by a full 10%!

"One quarter?" Su Yang was greatly surprised.

Evolving just one tier brought such a massive boost?

Then if we ascend to Fifth Tier, wouldn't we surpass the 40 threshold?

If that were truly the case, continuously upgrading talents could indeed reach the point where Words Follow Law.

"Too terrifying!" Su Yang was secretly startled.

He could hardly imagine how desperate an ordinary player with a normal talent would feel when facing someone like this.

Completely powerless to retaliate.

Easily manipulated by others.

Lin Yang noticed Su Yang's shifting expression and asked curiously, "What's up?"

Su Yang regained his composure, speaking calmly, "It's nothing, go call Zhuge Chen over."

"Oh."

Soon, the three newly added Dependents were all in position.

Zhuge Chen looked half-asleep, his dark circles a few shades darker than yesterday's.

He looked like a humanoid panda.

The other two appeared rather cramped, hands clasped together between their legs, eyes not daring to glance around.

"Don't be nervous, you are now members of a big family; we are all kin," Su Yang said softly.

Gulu—

The two swallowed hard and weakly said, "Su… no, Boss, what do you want us to do by calling us over?"

"Today the main focus is to let Brother Zhuge evolve his Evolution Talent; we promised him earlier, we can't renege."

"As for you…"

At that point, Su Yang paused, pondered briefly, then said, "... Tang Youning ever told you anything?"

"For example—topics related to the Old Era?"

Old Era?

The two exchanged glances, and the man shook his head, "Seems not; he usually stays with Zhuge Chen, rarely talks to us in this format."

Su Yang nodded and turned his gaze to the woman.

She waved repeatedly, "I haven't heard either; Tang Youning rarely talks to us, the gambling matches are all handled by him alone, never mentioned to us."

"Then that's strange…" Su Yang mused.

He would certainly understand what an Ascend God Seed is supposed to do.

When he was still a Dependent, Li Xin exploited and squeezed him, harboring malicious intent with a group of companions.

I've been drenched by rain myself; how could I not understand the importance of human hearts?

"But... Tang Youning did talk to us about your Innate Talent, Boss," the man suddenly spoke.

"Oh? What did he say?" Su Yang said with interest.

"He said your Innate Talent is one in a million; if you win this game, he can become you," the man replied.

As a Unique Talent, it's more than one in a million.

Recalling this, Su Yang looked at Zhuge Chen, "Brother Zhuge, is all this information you gathered?"

"Yes," Zhuge Chen said calmly, nodding.

Su Yang narrowed his eyes, "I'm very curious... who is the source of this information?"

"A player on an Island, named—Cai Jin," Zhuge Chen said.

Su Yang was startled at first upon hearing the name, then searched his mind.

In his recollection, whether before or after the 'kidnapping', he didn't know this person.

Seeing Su Yang's puzzled expression, Zhuge Chen explained, "Her situation is similar to yours; I cannot obtain any information through Innate Talent Investigation."

"Likewise, the Innate Talent I can uncover is also 'Illusion'."

What?!

Su Yang was shocked, "She too?"

Zhuge Chen nodded, "Because I can't read this person, I deliberately left a Heart Eye."

"Later she perished in the Death Game, and the Ascend God Seed that had a Betting Duel with her gained a new Innate Talent—'Exile'!"

"Is it him?" Su Yang suddenly visualized a Lao Shu Mask in his mind!

He remembered clearly that person was a member of the Round Table Meeting!

And also once harbored murderous intent toward the Fox.

Yue Zhao had personally pointed out the opponent's Innate Talent at the meeting.

"So his Innate Talent was obtained by securing an Easter Egg!" Su Yang was astonished.

The Innate Talent can actually be transformed?

So it wasn't baseless after all!

"Mr. Su knows this person?" Zhuge Chen here refers to Lao Shu.

"We've met once," Su Yang said gravely, nodding.

"'Exile' is merely an added Innate Talent on top of his original one," Zhuge Chen explained.

"Dual Talent?!" Su Yang's eyes widened.

"Exactly. As long as you can find a similar player and engage in a Betting Duel, once you win, you can loot the opponent's Innate Talent," Zhuge Chen nodded.

Su Yang suddenly froze in place, his mind flashing with countless thoughts.

"So..."

"The game can be played like this!"
