Chapter 901: Replace Entry?! New Entry—'Fraud Determination'!

"Do you want to gamble?" Su Yang asked.

"Honestly, I'm actually quite interested," Lin Yang spread his hands.

He glanced at Wang Defa, whose eyes kept darting from behind, and continued:

"But I have many concerns in my mind."

"You must know, after all you always like to take one step and look three steps ahead."

"And I haven't yet developed that habit."

"In the recent Death Games, the useful Innate Talents I could Copy are few, less than fifty percent."

"I need to endure in the early stage; bluntly put, it's Timidity."

"I've long been accustomed to this kind of play, yet I always easily miss the opening."

"Having earned so many rare Hidden Achievements, you surely understand that the early and late game are equally important."

"If I keep not fighting or grabbing, who knows what will happen."

Su Yang caught the implication and said, "So... you want me to give some advice."

"Hmm, I'm still undecided, not sure whether to refresh properly," Lin Yang nodded.

His thought was simple.

He hoped to refresh an Entry that is equally useful in the early stage.

That way, he could try to avoid a passive early-game situation.

"Then are you actually leaning toward this High Stakes Gamble?" Su Yang opened.

"Half and half, what if Melt Refining yields a top-tier Innate Talent?" Lin Yang said.

"Refreshing is indeed good, but this is also a gamble," Su Yang reminded.

"You've refreshed once; what's the exact procedure?" Lin Yang asked curiously.

Su Yang recalled for a while and then said, "Actually it's just like when you refresh equipment Entries in an MMO."

"After using it, a new Entry can appear."

"You can choose to replace or keep it."

Lin Yang's eyes lit up, "Then I lose nothing at all!"

Su Yang gave a slight nod.

That's the logic.

Lin Yang immediately made up his mind—

He will refresh!

Thus, under Su Yang's gaze, he immediately used the Item.

The next moment, a piece of information appeared in the Brain—

【New Entry: 'Copy' has a 5% chance to raise the level of an already obtained Innate Talent by Level One】

"Replace?"

Huh?

Lin Yang was stunned.

He relayed the result to Su Yang unchanged.

"Isn't that too low? Only 5%," Lin Yang felt shortchanged.

"It's already high; raising by Level One is far more than just one plus one equals two," Su Yang said.

"The reasoning is sound, but after my Innate Talent upgrades, doesn't the rule become unlocked?" Lin Yang opened.

Indeed, if his Innate Talent breaks the cap, then the Old Era Remnant Faction's talents would also rise by Level One.

This is an inevitable outcome.

"What if after the Innate Talent upgrades, a New Entry is obtained?" Su Yang tossed the temptation.

"Isn't that still a gamble?" Lin Yang frowned.

"Actually there's a word game involved," Su Yang explained:

"For an already upgraded Innate Talent, is the 5% chance applied to all talents, or does each individual talent have a 5% chance?"

"If it's the former, this Entry would become unprecedentedly powerful."

"It could even exceed the rare category."

"Imagine, when you Copy the fifth Innate Talent, it suddenly triggers and directly strengthens all talents by Level One."

"That is indeed a gamble, yet you pay nothing and instead gain limitless terrifying returns."

"But if it's the latter..."

Having said enough, Su Yang need not continue; he knows Lin Yang can understand the point.

Calculating separately yields greater randomness.

"Then... how should I choose?" Lin Yang hesitated.

"It's your Innate Talent; I have no right to intervene," Su Yang shook his head.

"What if it were you?" Lin Yang stared straight at Su Yang.

"There is no if," Su Yang said with a smile.

Lin Yang was slightly disappointed.

Looking at his expression, Su Yang said, "Actually, when you asked this question, you already had the answer in your mind."

"Only you need others' approval to make the choice better."

"Because you originally didn't know whether this decision would bring the desired outcome in the future."

"One is a choice with greater randomness, the other is the temptation brought by upgrading."

"It cannot be denied, this is a dilemma."

"But I think... no matter what you choose, the ending is always good."

Lin Yang's expression changed, no longer harboring conflict in his eyes.

Decide outright!

"Replace!"

"Congratulations, player 'Lin Yang', entry replacement successful."

Lin Yang let out a long sigh, as if all his strength were gone.

Su Yang laughed and patted his shoulder, "Congratulations, you've become stronger."

"I hope this probability won't disappoint me," Lin Yang whispered.

"Fate always favors the brave," Su Yang said.

"Your turn," Lin Yang looked up.

"What?"

"It's time for you to upgrade your Innate Talent."

Su Yang caught on; he is now only 800 Faith Value away from the Fifth Tier.

This time Lin Yang did not lower his voice.

Everyone present heard the words.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Qin Weiyang walked over and said, "Stop thinking about it, you are an Ascend God Seed, and you have earned the most Faith Value, which is what you deserve."

Luo Shuangshuang nodded in agreement, "Yes, you must be strong enough to guarantee your own safety."

Zhuge Chen spoke, "I think we don't need to wait."

Su Yang looked around, then slowly picked up the remote.

He then directly allocated eight hundred Faith Value to himself.

A Golden Light Orb flew out and entered his body directly.

At this moment, Su Yang again felt that exhilarating sensation that makes even the soul tremble.

And the intensity was greater than any previous upgrade!

The difference is, this time his Brain was like a revolving lantern.

Past fragments kept surfacing.

Every Death Game, every life-and-death gamble.

He even, further back, 'Sight' the scenes from his university days.

Also the hardships of feverishly writing and studying hard in high school.

Gradually, he saw his parents' Shadow again.

But only a Shadow.

Their faces were extremely vague.

He recalled the harmonious scene of his family.

Yet he could not see their features clearly.

He vaguely heard them say something to him.

"Why..." Su Yang murmured to himself.

Time flew by rapidly.

This evolution lasted a full hour.

There was no sign of stopping at all.

Everyone stared at the Light Cocoon enveloping Su Yang's body, full of doubt.

"What's the situation, hasn't it ended?" Ximen Zhirou asked.

"Could the Fifth Tier be a hurdle?" Lin Yang asked.

"Look!" Wen Ran suddenly, excitedly pointed a Finger.

All the Golden Light on Su Yang vanished, the turmoil subsided.

"Success!?" Lin Yang hurried up to check.

He looked at Su Yang's sweat-soaked clothes and was instantly shocked.

"How are you, are you okay?"

Su Yang waved his hand to indicate it was fine.

He took several deep breaths, cleared the clutter in his Brain, and focused his attention on the Innate Talent.

【Deception (Fifth Tier): After activating the ability, you may perform a 'Deception' action on players; if one third believe it, the lie becomes fact, with a 25% chance of immediate persuasion.】

【When the 'Deception' action does not take effect, you can make a 'Judgment' based on the remaining number of players.】

【If the number is odd, randomly select a player for a 'Comparison'.】

【If that player has lied fewer times than Su Yang, the 'Judgment' is considered successful.】

【Upon victory, player Su Yang will obtain that player's Upper-tier Substitute Talent.】

【That talent only works within the Death Game, and each game can only perform a 'Judgment' once.】
