Chapter 887: Did I Mess Up Again? Both

The two stood shoulder‑to‑shoulder, looking at the silent Su Yang with puzzled expressions.

Lin Yang asked, "Hey, when exactly are we leaving?"

Su Yang's smile deepened a bit, "Aren't you scared?"

"Scared of a hammer? My innate talent is that strong, and you already said I'm a Top Player of the New Era!" Lin Yang rubbed his nose.

He straightened his waist, "Besides, the three of us have seen every great storm and wave, haven't we?"

"Are the Old Era Remnant Faction's teeth sharper than ours? Can they swallow me in one bite?"

Su Yang tilted his head slightly toward Qin Weiyang, the meaning obvious.

"I don't know how to write the character 'fear'," Qin Weiyang said bluntly.

Lin Yang hooked his arm over Qin Weiyang's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Wei Yang, you're not a Top Player yet. Listen to my advice—settle down for a while."

"Snap!"

Qin Weiyang slapped his filthy hand away, her flawless face showing no concealment of disdain.

"You're just a moment of good luck; when the next Death Game comes, you can grab a rare Hidden Achievement before you talk to me again."

"And I'm no worse; at this stage I'm still not proficient in using my innate talent."

"After I get familiar, I'll see if you can still be so arrogant."

Lin Yang chuckled, "Don't start spouting nonsense; right now I'm still an Ascend God seed."

Qin Weiyang gave him a cold stare, not wanting to babble with him about this.

Then she turned her gaze to Su Yang, "You still haven't answered his question."

Su Yang withdrew his hand and slowly walked up to the two.

He lowered his head, staring at the piles of bags on the ground, rubbed his chin and said, "I didn't expect the two of you to form a party and follow so instantly; that's beyond my expectation."

Lin Yang asked in confusion, "Weren't you the one who said we'd campaign into the Old Era?"

Su Yang nodded, "Yes, that's right, but I also mentioned the Plunder Plan is just the foreplay."

Lin Yang asked again, "Can't we go without Dual Talent?"

"It's not exactly that; it's just that the current rules make it impossible to go," Su Yang shrugged helplessly.

"If you'd said earlier, I wouldn't have ransacked everything; I almost tore the bed apart," Lin Yang pursed his lips.

"Why tear the bed apart?" Luo Shuangshuang asked.

"If I don't sleep, I'd definitely dismantle it; what if after I leave one of you covets my scent and lies on it?" Lin Yang said matter‑of‑factly.

"Ugh!" Luo Shuangshuang spat.

Su Yang gave a mute laugh, waved his hand and said, "The campaign isn't now; when it's time to set out, I'll tell you."

"Alright." Lin Yang nodded gladly.

The two lifted their belongings again and returned to the room.

Ximen Zhirou's tightly knit brow never relaxed.

He felt a little…

…as if he'd been played?

And seeing Lin Yang and Qin Weiyang's relaxed, carefree expressions.

It seemed…

…they weren't afraid of the campaign at all.

As the elders of the team, they should know Yue Zhao's terror well.

Aren't they afraid of ascending to the Old Era and being Settle Scores?

One must know there are no so‑called rule restrictions there.

All they'd face are terrifying Seven‑ or Eight‑Tier beings!

Knowing there are tigers on the mountain, yet still heading toward the tiger's den.

Either it's great bravery and great wisdom.

Or it's sheer, foolish stupidity.

Obviously, Su Yang cannot be the latter.

At that moment, someone patted Ximen Zhirou's shoulder.

Turning around, he saw Luo Shuangshuang already standing up from the sofa.

"Forgot to tell you… Yue Zhao is dead."

"Huh?" Ximen Zhirou was stunned.

"Um, Su Yang killed him; we found out an hour before you returned," Luo Shuangshuang said, heading toward the dining room.

The hot pot that's been simmering so long needs more water.

"This…" Ximen Zhirou's pupils narrowed.

Yue Zhao actually died?!

Is it real?

But…

Ximen Zhirou felt his thoughts in utter chaos.

His mind kept replaying Su Yang's words and expressions.

At that moment, an inexplicable emotion suddenly sprouted in his heart.

He regretted!

"Su Yang, is what she said true?" Ximen Zhirou hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it's true." Su Yang gave a slight nod.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ximen Zhirou's eyes widened.

"Whether you say it early or late, it's the same to you." Su Yang also stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:

"I understand your concerns and difficulties."

"It's fine, the death‑sending job... I won't let you do it."

After speaking, Su Yang turned his back and went to sit in the dining hall.

Hungry, his chest pressed against his back, he immediately began to eat heartily.

Lin Yang and Qin Weiyang had just set down their things when they saw Su Yang and Luo Shuangshuang laughing and eating together.

He immediately complained, "Hey, you two are too much, daring to eat without waiting for this master."

"The shrimp today seem fresher than usual; could it be that a newly‑dropped player was hauled up?" Luo Shuangshuang took a bite, felt the fresh sweet flavor, and raised her eyebrows high.

"The tripe is good too; could it have been sliced from the Administrator's stomach?" Su Yang teased.

"Ew, that beef is disgusting; I don't want to eat it." Luo Shuangshuang shivered.

After sitting, Qin Weiyang looked at the bowl full of food and whispered a thanks to Su Yang.

"You should eat more; look how thin you are," Su Yang said while picking up food, urging.

"She exercises so much that even if she ate the whole pot, she'd burn it off by tomorrow," Lin Yang said.

"All that food still can't block your mouth," Luo Shuangshuang glared at him.

"I said she didn't mention you; what's your business?"

"I just said, can you intervene?"

"Stinky Shuangshuang!"

"Stinky Lin Yang!"

Standing alone in the living room, Ximen Zhirou watched the harmonious five and suddenly felt isolated.

But he knew clearly in his heart that this was his own choice.

The regret in his heart deepened, and he couldn't help a self‑deprecating laugh.

"Did I choose wrong again?"

……

The next morning, Lu Junsheng returned safely.

Although they didn't obtain a Hidden Achievement this time, everyone was still very happy.

After all, being alive itself is a tremendous good thing.

On the Sixth Day, Zhuge Chen also returned safely.

He suffered a minor injury and only needs rest to recover.

This time, like Qin Weiyang, he brought back a Hidden Achievement.

When the Seventh Day arrived, several dependents formerly under Tang Youning had not returned.

Everyone realized they were forever left in the Death Game.

Having experienced many life‑and‑death separations, their hearts were hardly stirred.

Moreover, their friendships were not that deep.

At most they muttered a quiet "what a pity."

At midnight on the Seventh Day, the bells rang and a broadcast sounded—

【Eleventh Game Ended, Congratulations to the Survivors】

【Rewards Have Been Distributed, Please Check Your Individual Cages】

【Remaining Players:】

【Island with Lowest Total Faith Value Currently — Island 3876】

【Total Faith Value: 0】

【Twelfth Death Game Will Commence in Thirty Days】

【The Bet Will Be Settled in 12 Hours】

The moment they heard the news, Su Yang couldn't help but exchange a glance with Lin Yang.

They both spoke, "Only 15 people?"

Lin Yang looked at Zhuge Chen and asked, "Can you find out in advance whether Su Yang can attend the Round Table Meeting?"

"Yes." Zhuge Chen nodded.

He closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, radiance flickered.

After a while he said, "Brother Lin is sixth in rank, and Brother Su happens to be eighth."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang's eyes lit up, "So that means both of us can attend the meeting?"

Su Yang breathed a long sigh of relief upon learning this.

But at the same time, he developed a new doubt.

"I killed Yue Zhao, so I should inherit his Permanent Seat."

"And the meeting's start time is the same across all eras."

"I now hold two Permanent Seats."

"Then..."

Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "I am now also 'Silver Moon'."

"Also 'Fox'?"
