Chapter 740: Time for a Change! Worlds Apart!

9 p. m.

Su Yang and Zhuge Chen arrived as scheduled and knocked on the main gate.

Thump thump—

The door opened, and a delicate little face peered out, immediately flinging the door wide upon seeing the visitors.

Brother Yang, please come in quickly!

Su Yang nodded, lifted his foot, and stepped inside.

This was his third visit to Yin Yun's residence, and unlike the previous two, the courtyard now had many green plants added.

The branches were luxuriant, leaves dense, and fragrance of flowers filled the air.

"Who planted these?" Su Yang asked casually.

The freckled man approached a pot of daffodils and said, "This part was planted by Sister Yin, and over there by the newly joined partners."

Su Yang looked up and saw the area near the wall covered with ivy, its roots tangled and densely packed.

"Quite a refined hobby; you must spend a lot of time trimming the branches and leaves daily, right?" Su Yang asked.

"It's okay, Sister Yin encourages us to develop more hobbies, so we don't stay cooped up in the room all the time," the freckled man said.

Speaking of hobbies, Su Yang suddenly recalled that each morning during his running training he could see several graceful silhouettes on the beach.

Sometimes splashing in the water, sometimes playing volleyball.

"The plants are doing well; we should also get some green plants later, otherwise it's too monotonous," Su Yang said.

The first half was addressed to the freckled man, the second half to Zhuge Chen.

Zhuge Chen nodded, "Indeed it's a bit monotonous; it's time for a change."

Su Yang smiled, lifted his chin and indicated, "Lead the way, don't keep Brother Huang waiting too long."

"This way, please!"

He had already been aware of Su Yang's arrival; the handsome man, whose relationship with their top boss was close, naturally did not dare to delay.

They all belonged to the same island and were players who emerged from the Heaven Pit; the name 'Su Yang' had already become widely renowned.

He had long dominated the Leaderboard First, and was also the first to clear a random Death Game.

His subsequent 'War Spoils' naturally were Vibration.

In the gamble, he defeated Tang Youning, and then participated in the Round Table Meeting twice in a row to set the rules.

Any one of the above War Spoils, if picked at random, would be unattainable.

Huang Hua repeatedly mentioned Su Yang's War Spoils in front of them, as if a monitor were installed on him, constantly watching his movements.

Consequently, his gaze toward Su Yang inevitably mixed respect with envy.

Although he had handled Su Yang's reception in previous times, this time his mindset was completely different.

A proud person like Huang Hua was eager to request an audience with Su Yang.

From their past interactions, the status seemed to have already shifted.

"Brother Yang, Brother Huang is waiting for you in the study," the freckled man said.

"Alright."

As soon as Su Yang stepped onto the first floor, everyone inside simultaneously stared at him.

"Su Yang?!"

The crowd was startled, and they all put down what they were doing.

The entire living room fell silent.

Zhuge Chen whispered, "I didn't expect Mr. Su's reputation to have become this renowned."

"They're just curious; you're overthinking it," Su Yang said lightly.

At that moment, Yin Yun emerged from the washroom, her eyes slightly brightening at the newcomer, "Su Yang, this way!"

"Sorry for the disturbance," Su Yang nodded slightly and strode forward.

When he and Zhuge Chen entered the study and the door closed...

"Huh~ So that's Su Yang?" a newly arrived dependent let out a long sigh, the heavy stone pressing on his heart finally settled.

"Yes, you hadn't seen him before?"

"I've seen him before, but the feeling he gave me this time is completely different from last time."

"How is it different?"

"Can't explain, it's like... we're not in the same dimension!"

Upon hearing that, a woman beside him immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, I feel the same!"

"By the way, why aren't his eyes red?" someone asked curiously.

"I heard Sister Yin mention it in passing; apparently he's completing a certain ritual that requires Sacrificing his Ascend God seed identity."

"Could it be related to the Golden Throne?"

"Most likely, and he probably came to see Brother Huang today to consult about this."

"This..."

The others felt a great shock in their hearts.

Unwittingly, players who started from the same starting line had, in less than a year, become separated by a Heaven Rift chasm.

While they were still playing with water and potted plants, others had already embarked on the Golden Road.

Recalling this, the freckled man suddenly remembered the words Su Yang had just said outside.

"So... that's it."

…

Inside the study.

Just as the door opened, Huang Hua impatiently rose to greet.

Su Yang smelled the familiar pine fragrance and couldn't help but furrow his Brow.

At the Sight of this expression, Huang Hua instantly hesitated and asked, "Brother Su, if you find this place not spacious enough, we can discuss in the fifth‑floor hall."

"I'm just not used to this smell," Su Yang waved his hand to indicate it was fine.

"Please sit," Huang Hua said, pulling out a stool.

Su Yang did not sit, but pointed with his Finger at Zhuge Chen and introduced, "This is Wan Shi Tong, compound surname Zhuge, given name Chen."

Huang Hua's eyes lit up, warmly grasping his hand, "I have heard your great name for long; finally I can meet you. Brother Zhuge truly… has an extraordinary bearing!"

Zhuge Chen, a bit at a loss for his attitude, gave a dry laugh and said, "Mr. Huang's image…"

Looking him over from head to toe, he noticed the other had long hair tied up casually.

Wearing a dark blue robe, a pair of cloth shoes on his Foot.

If he also carried a pole with a "Heavenly Official's Blessing" flag, he'd look exactly like a TV drama charlatan.

Before coming, he had heard Su Yang discuss Huang Hua, and summed him up in three characters—'Nerve disease.'

At first he thought Su Yang must be wearing tinted glasses when judging people.

But upon actually seeing him, he realized that description was not exaggerated at all.

On the contrary, he was somewhat restrained!

"Just a few small hobbies, I'm embarrassed to show you," Huang Hua said with a smile, pouring tea for the two.

Yin Yun sat opposite Su Yang and said, "The study has undergone a Transformation; these tables, stools, and tea sets were just placed."

"Having such leisurely elegance is nice; I heard the flowers outside were planted by you personally?" Su Yang asked.

"The courtyard looks too empty, so I thought of planting some flowers to decorate it. What do you think?" Yin Yun said with slight anticipation.

"Very nice. When I return, I'll have Lin Yang do the same," Su Yang said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, let's not talk about these flowers and plants now; let's get straight to the point," Huang Hua urged the two to drink tea.

He remembered the two parties' transaction perfectly.

He used Deduction to help Su Yang obtain the method to reach the Golden Throne.

He could obtain Zhuge Chen's assistance.

But a month only has 24 hours.

Therefore he must seize every second.

Make good use of every minute!

"No hurry; before that, Brother Huang, could you explain why after my Death Challenge…"

"…lost the Ascend God Seed identity?" A flash of brilliance flashed through Su Yang's eyes.
