Chapter 759: Love Around the Corner! Springhead and Xiao Hei!

As soon as the blunt threat was spoken, the Short-haired Woman and the other man remained unmoved.

Leaving aside whether his current location can be found.

Even if we retreat a thousand steps and assume we found him, how should we respond?

The three words Springhead contain no nutrition whatsoever.

Who isn't worried it's a scam?

"Want to go play a bit?" Lu Zhiwei looked at Su Yang.

"No, it'd be best if he's dead." Su Yang shook his head.

"So the person you had me kill back then was him?" Lu Zhiwei seemed to sense a vague implication.

Su Yang gave no explanation, after all, in his view Lin Jin and Ji Huai are the same.

He wandered through several Passages at random, all to no avail.

Su Yang gradually lost patience and said, "Continuing this aimless search is meaningless; how much cargo do you have on you?"

Lu Zhiwei dug into her pocket, produced a feces‑colored Duck Token, "Here, 28 Star Coins."

The same item, yet its value differs.

Su Yang scanned it, confirmed it was correct, and also took out a Duck Token, "Same as yours."

"The simple map must be too poor; I calculated the time, and we've probably been in for three or four hours," Lu Zhiwei said.

"We need to return to the Spaceship before midnight," Su Yang said.

"First Place day's KPI should be doable, three hundred plus Star Coins isn't hard," Lu Zhiwei tapped her cheek, pondering.

"There's still something I haven't figured out," Su Yang frowned slightly.

"What?"

"The game is indeed team‑cooperative; everyone works together to meet the KPI, but due to information bias we don't know how much others have harvested."

"In other words, without knowing, I must try every way to obtain as much cargo as possible," Su Yang said.

"Right, what's the problem?" Lu Zhiwei asked curiously.

"If it's just for Clearance, that's fine; even if not for others, for myself I still want more cargo."

"But clearing the game is only one goal; collecting the most cargo and earning the most money brings me no benefit whatsoever."

"This place is fraught with danger; a slight misstep leads to a dead end."

"I struggled desperately, finally earned some money, and gave it all to the team as contribution."

"Then what's the difference between other players who get nothing or little and those who just reap the benefits?"

"From another angle, I'm worried about losing my life here; since others will scramble to pick up trash, why shouldn't I just hide inside the Spaceship and not come out?" Su Yang explained.

Lu Zhiwei heard that and instantly thought it made sense.

"You mean… that on the upcoming journey some might hide and not contribute?"

"Isn't that so?" Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, continuing, "The Spaceship is a Safe Zone; even if I do nothing, at most I'll be condemned, you can't do anything to me."

"Anyway, you have to play the game; if I stubbornly stay inside, what can you do with me?"

Lu Zhiwei thought carefully and said, "If you don't pick, I don't pick, then everyone can only wait for death."

"Exactly, I bet you won't dare. After all I'm just a Normal Difficulty Dependents, a lousy life, Ascend God Seed Identity is noble, and I wield so many lives; I'm not afraid to swap with you," Su Yang said.

"But…" Lu Zhiwei hesitated slightly.

Su Yang glanced at her, then shifted, "Old Era Remnant Faction makes it even simpler; they can Resurrection, so there's no worry about what death costs."

"You still remember that kid just now, right?"

Qin Yu Sen's face flashed in her mind, Lu Zhiwei nodded, "What about it?"

"If he manages to survive this round and return to the Spaceship, next time he'll definitely hide inside and not come out," Su Yang said.

"So scared of death?" Lu Zhiwei looked disdainfully.

"Don't underestimate how astonishingly low the limit can be when a person's survival desire spikes."

"Then what do we do?"

"Very simple, with no rules, we create rules!" Su Yang said each word deliberately.

Lu Zhiwei suddenly lifted the visor off Su Yang's helmet.

Sensing her action, Su Yang instinctively recoiled, "What are you doing?"

"I thought you might have a fever," Lu Zhiwei said seriously.

Su Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, seeing her full of doubt, and simply stopped mentioning it.

Establishing rules is something that must be done.

Otherwise, if the Old Era Remnant Faction teams up with players to Strike, none from the New Era can escape.

A full ten thousand Star Coins, that's no small amount.

Thinking of this, Su Yang realized he needed to lay a foundation before establishing rules.

Otherwise success would be difficult.

"Thump thump—"

Suddenly, a rapid footstep echoed from the Gate ahead.

Before the two could react, the Gate abruptly opened, a strong light blasting in.

Immediately, two figures rushed forward at extreme speed; the one ahead shouted, "Friend, keep an eye on this!"

Su Yang, in the flow, saw a Humanoid Creature over two meters tall, its whole body made of wood, running toward them.

Its joints were connected by springs; the Shape was bizarre, and its gait was rather odd.

Its entire body exuded an evil aura.

"Bang!"

It burst through the door, then suddenly stood still.

Su Yang turned his head and saw that the person who brought the Monster was Ji Huai!

Accompanying him was a Xiao Pangzi.

"Thanks, friend, I'll leave this Springhead to you; I'm off to find supplies elsewhere!" Ji Huai dropped the line and turned to run.

"Stop!"

Su Yang made a move to chase, but after only two steps, a hurried Footstep sounded behind him.

In an instant, as if falling into an ice cave, his spine went cold.

Instinctively turning his head, he saw the Springhead already appearing before him.

Both hands clasped together, as if to wrench Su Yang's Brain off.

Seeing this scene, Su Yang's breath caught; fear radiated from his limbs and bones.

"What… is this thing?"

Lu Zhiwei was not panicked; instead, she circled the Springhead for a look.

After pondering carefully, she hypothesized, "It seems to have a unique mechanism; when you keep Vision Perception on it, it stops chasing."

"Is that so?" Su Yang said, half doubtful, Retreating ten meters, then abruptly turning his head, and swiftly turning back.

Sure enough!

The Springhead reappeared before him at an incredible speed.

"What a fast movement!" Su Yang's heart trembled.

At such speed, a hundred meters leaves only two or three seconds of reaction time.

"Ji Huai, you beast!" Su Yang snarled.

He hadn't intended to wade into this murky water, yet unexpectedly met 'love' around the corner.

But there was one thing he didn't understand.

Just now, such a good opportunity.

Ji Huai, however, did not strike to kill him.

Instead, he led the Springhead here.

Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help wondering whether this action had another purpose.

Just as he was deep in thought, a wave of dizziness suddenly arose.

His whole body felt drowsy and heavy, the Stomach churning like a raging sea.

In his daze, he saw a Silhouette of pure black appearing not far behind the Springhead.

At the same time, a Reminder sounded beside his ear:

"That's Xiao Hei, don't look at it!"

Su Yang, upon hearing it, felt so depressed he nearly spat blood.

One Springhead must be kept under Vision Perception.

The other Xiao Hei cannot be stared at.

Could it be that two eyes must simultaneously play two roles?
