Chapter 781: My Things... No One Gets to Take Even a Single Grain!

~7 min read 1,307 words

'Mind Reading' is enough to be called a supermodel.

This Innate Talent can play a pivotal role in any Death Game.

Take Cheater's Tavern as an example.

She can not only discern the opponent's hand cards, but also know whether the opponent's play phase involves Deception.

But the drawback is also significant.

A two‑hour Cooldown Time does not give an advantage in fast‑paced games.

However, in games with long time cycles, it can wreak havoc!

Any conspiracy or scheme is laid bare in her eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Su Yang were to obtain such an Innate Talent, pairing it with 'Deception' would be as if aided by Divine assistance.

"Hey, you haven't finished answering my question yet," Lu Zhiwei nudged Su Yang.

"Talk while walking," Su Yang stood up and brushed the snow off his butt.

Su Qi led the way ahead, and Su Yang, looking at Lu Zhiwei's innocent, baby‑like face, couldn't help but let out a light Laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Zhiwei wrinkled her Nose, a displeased look flashing in her eyes.

She vaguely felt that Su Yang was mocking her.

"No, I just suddenly felt a bit reflective," Su Yang started sprinting forward, and when he passed a pit, he reached out to help.

"Stop being cryptic; you finally said it," Lu Zhiwei protested strongly.

"Returning to the previous topic, precisely because the inside and outside are two distinct worlds, Qin Yu Zhou cannot pinpoint the exact location of the goods inside."

"Coincidentally, in order to find a way into the building, he employed his Innate Talent to search for a route."

"Thus, after entering, he lost the most straightforward means and could only follow the crowd forward."

"During this period, his Innate Talent remained in Cooldown," Su Yang said slowly.

"So…" Lu Zhiwei vaguely caught the key point, "He survived by chance, used his Innate Talent to sense the goods' location, and chose to go solo?"

"He can no longer stay in that team; if he clings on and forces his way, it would only Accelerate his death. He knows well that luck won't always be on his side," Su Yang nodded.

"Then what does our escape have to do with him?" Lu Zhiwei asked, utterly puzzled.

"It's a big connection," Su Yang looked up at the sky and continued, "There are twelve Gates in total; the Second Floor is all dead ends, and even players with a bizarre Innate Talent like Lin Jin have fallen more than once."

"That alone shows the density of Monsters."

"The First Floor also has many dead ends; the only LifeGate... Qin Yu Zhou cannot enter."

What does that mean?

Lu Zhiwei's head was full of question marks; the faint thread of thought she had is now completely incomprehensible.

Su Yang glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Qi Jie should know that Monsters mostly cluster around the goods."

"But this time it's the opposite: the outer area is swarming with Monsters, yet not a single good is seen."

"If I'm not mistaken, the map's total value was set the moment our Spaceship landed, equivalent to a resource refresh."

"In other words, if nothing was found on the outskirts, the deep interior must be full of 'Treasure'!"

"Similarly, Walnut Pliers and Stockpiling Insect appear on the outskirts; combined with Lin Jin's experience, he must have encountered many calamities before venturing far in."

"Thus we can conclude—Monsters have all retreated to the outer ring, the inner ring poses no danger and is filled with large goods!"

Boom!

These words exploded in his Brain like a heavy Bomb.

Lu Zhiwei's heart instantly surged with turbulent waves.

"No wonder..."

She felt it was unreasonable.

We've walked all this way and gained not a single cent.

But we've encountered many hardships and obstacles.

Qin Yu Zhou chose to go solo, so he must have learned the truth.

But because all Monsters are on the outskirts, his lone strength cannot break through the encirclement.

And the exit is closest to the inner ring.

That means he will certainly choose to emerge alone, wait for the Cooldown Time to end, then search for the exit direction!

For efficiency and safety, he certainly will not take a detour!

"If we keep going like this, maybe we'll run into Qin Yu Zhou?" Lu Zhiwei had a flash of insight.

"Not necessarily; it depends on luck," Su Yang's mouth curled upward.

Su Qi walked ahead, but his ears never rested.

Having heard Su Yang's words without missing a single word, Lu Zhiwei couldn't help but turn and look at him deeply.

No need to ask; the answer is obvious.

All of this is his doing.

From the initial rush to enter the building to the later proposal to gather and converge.

Qin Yu Zhou is the most crucial step.

Su Yang leveraged humanity to shape himself into a ruthless villain.

In fact, he intends to use this to drive Qin Yu Zhou away.

Force him to go solo!

"Each link interlocks; indeed, it's meticulous," Su Qi couldn't help but praise.

"Qi Jie, you're flattering me; I merely acted based on the big fellow's 'Cognition'," Su Yang said.

"Similar situations have indeed occurred; sometimes taking the back door is also a strategy," Su Qi said.

"But taking the back door has a higher chance of encountering Monster, so more people won't choose to take risks," Su Yang nodded slightly.

Since he lost the 'All-Seeing Eye' and the 'Remote Object Retrieval', he began to prepare the next step of his plan.

A hard‑won opportunity cannot be missed.

Thus, he simply gathered all the goods into the inner perimeter and put all the Monster outside.

In this way, not only can he conveniently eliminate the players.

At the same time, he can also cut off everyone's chance of finding the goods.

Su Yang can then achieve a one‑person monopoly over all the goods.

Mei Mei gets to eat!

However, on the surface it looks perfectly fine.

But 'Cognition' is not something Su Yang can just dictate.

To guard against variables.

Su Yang can only let Qin Yu Zhou be a scapegoat this time.

He cannot determine exactly which exit the goods gathered in the inner perimeter will be near.

Nor can he be sure of the precise direction.

Therefore, he needs the help of this 'Treasure Hunting Hound'.

Use Qin Yu Zhou to locate the goods pile!

Driving him away not only allays most people's concerns, but also, by jointly killing Walnut Pliers, can further divert the attention of Ji Huai and others.

If they fail to earn even one Star Coin in two or three hours, the frantic Ji Huai will act rashly.

They will recklessly barge into the next door.

What awaits them will be countless Monster.

Perhaps during that time they will suddenly awaken.

But by then, Su Yang will already be resting on the Spaceship.

As for the lives of the others…

What does it have to do with him?

Thinking of this, Su Yang's Mouth couldn't help but curve upward, and even his Foot became much lighter.

Shortly after, Su Qi suddenly signaled to stop.

"What's wrong?" Su Yang asked.

"The Footprints here are fresh," Su Qi crouched down and brushed away a layer of snow.

A deep Footprint came into view.

Su Yang, seeing this, raised his Brow, and naturally looked up.

A Gate appeared before his eyes.

"We've arrived." A flash of brilliance flickered in Su Yang's eyes.

"Looks like… Qin Yu Zhou just went in?" Lu Zhiwei's heart stirred.

"Let's go, we'll catch him; we can't let him escape!" Su Yang strode forward.

"What if he's already taken the goods?" Lu Zhiwei couldn't help but feel some worry.

"Those are all my things…"

Su Yang sneered, "No one may take even a single grain!"
