Chapter 916: Never Ate Pork but Have Seen Pigs Run! The More You Think, the More Terrifying!

~6 min read 1,175 words

"Isn't that wrong?"

Tree Leaf was the first to raise a question, "I clearly remember the betting's operating logic being exactly as you said."

"The winner will take all the Faith Value wagered by both parties into their Income."

"But …"

At that point, the voice abruptly stopped.

Obviously, Tree Leaf sensed something was off.

Not only him, the other members also sensed a clue.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt.

Gradually, their gazes grew increasingly solemn.

"The recent two betting rounds have indeed been a bit strange," Rabbit said.

Rhinoceros nodded stiffly, "The Betting Settlement was not carried out according to the originally announced Betting Rules."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang was bewildered and asked, "What are you talking about? Is there any problem with the betting?"

The surrounding members all looked at him, initially with a hint of indignation.

But they noticed that Daylight's eyes lacked any blood‑red hue, and instantly understood.

He is not an Ascend God Seed, so naturally he does not know the trick.

Su Yang looked at the people's reactions and said calmly, "At the very beginning it was indeed strictly enforced, at least that's the information I have gathered."

"But later things deviated further from the track."

"For the second Betting Settlement, we should have received both principal and profit together, but we only got half."

"That is, just the principal."

"According to normal logic, the betting shouldn't be played this way."

"I don't know whether any of you have ever been to a casino, nor whether you have participated in the corresponding activities."

"Even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig run."

"Winning the next betting round by merely recouping the principal is itself a rogue act."

"If it had been agreed upon in advance, that would be fine; the problem is that the initial rule announcement already spelled out the terms and process clearly."

"Almost everyone, including myself, seems to have overlooked this point."

The shock this statement caused among the crowd was comparable to the pregnancy rest Proposal put forward by Tiger.

In a sense, it was several times more intense.

Because this rule was the consensus of the big guys.

Everyone sitting here except Lin Yang are all Ascend God Seeds.

As team leaders, they are the most aware of how much was earned in the betting.

If Su Yang hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have recalled at all.

Upon careful recollection now, they indeed find it filled with utter strangeness.

A wave of inexplicable panic filled their hearts.

Just like …

That segment of memory was covered by an invisible giant hand.

"Why is this happening?" Xingchen's eyes widened like copper bells, panting heavily.

His chest rose and fell violently, his hands slammed onto the table, and Sweat continuously dripped down.

He is scared!

The familiar terror resurfaced.

The last time it appeared was when he was kidnapped.

That day was also the day Xingchen most dreaded to recall.

While staying up late to rush a diagram, he merely rubbed his sleepy eyes and was transported to an unfamiliar region.

And then, abruptly, the Death Game began.

For a designer who had never encountered such things, it was no different from a murder!

Thinking that he would lose all his past and even face death.

Xingchen's face turned pale with panic, his Stomach churned, and he kept dry heaving.

Now, at this very moment.

He again experienced this physical discomfort.

Even though he exerted all his effort to prevent himself from vomiting.

But he still felt his vision go black.

He had thought that having reached this position today would allow him to decide his own fate.

Yet he never imagined that, unknowingly, he had been set up!

Moreover, the person who did this didn't show any hint at all.

Thus, unnoticed by gods or ghosts, everyone was pushed into a mental blind spot.

Uniformly they believed the Betting Rules—

Should be like this!

"It seems that's indeed the case; since the second betting round we only received the principal!" Tiger said.

"Even the rules issued by Divinity have loopholes?" Lin Yang furrowed his Brow.

"Perhaps it's not Divinity then?" Su Yang said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Tiger's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Don't take it to heart; it's just a guess of mine." Su Yang waved his hand.

"If you don't bring it up today, I wouldn't think it's wrong at all, and would even accept it with a clear conscience." Tiger's voice was faintly trembling.

The method that deceives millions.

How terrifying is that?

And it targets the most primitive rules!

Unexplainably, so much Faith Value was swallowed.

It's like a large Company, where each month the finance department uniformly deducts when paying salaries.

Yet the employees of this Company have no way to notice.

They continue to serve as beasts of burden without complaint.

Such conduct is more than just absurd.

They suddenly feel deceived and toyed with.

"Who exactly?" Shan Yue muttered.

"Who has such capability and Gallbladder?" Shu Ye said.

"Rather than why he dared to do it, I'm more curious why he has the ability to achieve this level," Rabbit said.

"Why have millions... never anyone realized?" Tiger looked at Su Yang.

"Then... Mr. Yin Yue, how did you notice?" Xingchen recovered, raised his eyes and asked.

Everyone was also very interested in this point.

All gazes turned toward Su Yang.

As if trying to discern the reasoning from his eyes.

Everyone else was blinded, only he was the first to awaken.

Compared to the limited shock in his heart, there was more doubt.

Could it be that he possesses some uniquely gifted ability?

And since he discovered it, why didn't he bring it up at the last Round Table Meeting?

When did he discover it?

Clouds of doubt filled their hearts, and everyone was eager to know the answer.

Su Yang looked around and said calmly, "Is this important?"

"Isn't timely correction more important than digging up the source of information?"

"I saw the problem, raised the problem, and proposed a solution."

"All you need to do is just wiggle a Finger a bit and cast a vote of approval on the upcoming parchment."

"As for the rest..."

"No comment!"

His resolute tone made everyone pause.

They didn't expect Yin Yue to be so forceful.

After all, although this is a serious topic, the question itself isn't serious.

From his attitude, people couldn't help but suspect whether something more terrifying is involved here?

Thinking this, Tiger couldn't help but be a bit more curious about Su Yang.

He knows what others don't.

The reason everyone asks these is because they worry...

It's not only that the gamble itself has problems.

It's very possible similar issues have arisen in other Domains and rules.

Because of being blinded, they have no way to know.

"Let's end the discussion here; now the last member will present a Proposal."

Su Yang looked at one of them and said softly, "Mr. Xi Niu..."

"Begin!"
