Chapter 929: More Friends, More Roads! The

~7 min read 1,289 words

This is a good question.

If 'Xingchen' really knows Yue Zhao such a notable figure.

It also knows Su Yang's special nature.

This transaction must eventually have some return to be correct.

Otherwise his excuses and logic cannot stand at all.

"Safety protection?" Lin Yang suddenly recalled, then said, "He said the Old Era is about to perish, and at the advent of the apocalypse one can obtain a chance for shelter."

"That's even more far-fetched, Yue Zhao has such a good opportunity and doesn't give it to him?" Ximen Zhirou scoffed aloud.

"But in terms of value, the Boss is clearly higher than safety protection, right?" Wen Ran said softly.

"Yue Zhao wants to kill the Boss, looking to the Xingchen for a hammer? He can't help much, at most he can just abstain from voting at the meeting," Wang Yuning said.

"Now that you mention it, that's true; the purpose lacks purity, he says on the surface that the willing are baited—could it just be an excuse?" Lin Yang asked.

Su Yang feels this guy becomes more and more interesting the deeper they dig.

It's not just the illogical issue.

Behind the Xingchen there must be a larger scheme.

As for what it is, it's currently unknown.

But Zhao Chenglin's proactive declaration of war clearly shows a clue.

"Could it be that he's preparing to inherit Yue Zhao's will and strike at you?" Ximen Zhirou asked.

"He can actually say that a deity is right beside him, and he even receives letters from a mysterious person, showing he's not simple," Qin Weiyang said.

"I didn't expect the New Era to have so many talented individuals; today I've truly opened my eyes," Wang Defa said.

"Is there a possibility... that Yue Zhao is just his pawn?" Wen Ran's eyebrows knit.

Su Yang shook his head and said, "Before his intentions are confirmed, any speculation is just wasted."

"The top priority is to get past the gambling round first."

"When the Fourth Stage opens, no matter how big their conspiracy, it won't stop me from stepping onto the Golden Road."

"The players' rivalry is ultimately petty; we should broaden our perspective and not be limited to such grudges."

"As for the Xingchen..."

"If we encounter it in the game, no one may be merciful or soft."

Everyone nodded slightly.

Feeling it was very reasonable.

Compared with the Golden Road, the Xingchen' petty thoughts never even reach the surface.

His scheme is nothing more than trying to achieve something on a tiny plot of land.

People like Yue Zhao can be easily swayed by profit, indicating that at heart he is also a flamboyant figure.

As for the Xingchen' actions, Su Yang thinks they're nothing but picking up others' ideas.

"But back to the point, I feel the Tiger is not simple," Luo Shuangshuang said, one hand around her chest, the other supporting her chin.

"How so?" Lin Yang immediately became interested.

"Think about it, she exposed Yue Zhao's identity at the first Round Table Meeting, aiming to protect the New Era's interests."

"When voting, she also unhesitatingly gave you a vote."

"She gives the impression of a selfless and clearly principled character."

"First, whether we mention if she can endure the Old Era's retaliation, and also not discuss whether she had considered beforehand how to deal with subsequent troubles."

"The third Round Table Meeting, which is this one, she presented such a proposal and hinted that you should repay a favor."

"And Su Yang, your proposal is obvious to anyone as being beneficial to all."

"But the result was only five votes."

"First, in the meeting, nobody knows anyone else; apart from the Xingchen there should be no other foes, right?"

"Second, in this place that only talks about profit, your proposal couldn't possibly get so few votes."

"Except for the Xingchen, who didn't cast the other vote?"

"I think the big guy's brain must have thought of it."

Lin Yang frowned.

What does she want to express?

Is she evaluating the Tiger as excellent?

Or saying she's two‑faced and treacherous?

In response, Su Yang said, "Actually, you're overthinking; she has always put profit first, no matter which Round Table Meeting it is."

"I know what you want to say."

"The reason my proposal didn't achieve unanimous passage is that she 'contributed' a share of effort."

"Actually the logic is simple; although she also dislikes the Xingchen' behavior, she focused on Specialization Transformation."

"Her innate talent is very special; she quickly saw that Lin Yang and I are on the same side."

"And she also guessed that the two of us wouldn't vote for the Xingchen."

"So under this premise, she wants my proposal passed and also wants Specialization Transformation, so she can only choose a tie vote."

"As for you saying she's not simple, isn't that obvious?"

"How many Permanent Members are simple?"

"Having one more friend is always better than one more enemy; if there is no conflict of interest, it's best not to take things for granted and cause trouble."

"This sentence also applies to all of you."

"The future Fourth Stage will certainly be a more variable environment, and its foothold is highly likely to be the Continent."

"Remember, make lots of friends!"

After Su Yang's analysis, Luo Shuangshuang finally understood.

It turns out the thing she was after all along was the Proposal.

She thought it was trying to set a snare behind her.

At that moment, Zhuge Chen came out of the restaurant holding a sheet of paper.

"Su Xiong, I've finished the drawing."

Su Yang reached out, took it, and examined it closely.

The man in the picture had an unremarkable appearance, with thick Brow, large eyes, and a black hair mole on the Nose wing.

Just by his aura, there was no hint of arrogance at all.

He was just a Normal Difficulty person lost in the crowd, completely unnoticed.

"Zhao Chenglin looks like this?" Lin Yang glanced and felt something odd.

"After Gene Modification everyone becomes handsome men and beautiful women; he seems to have gotten no benefit at all," Sun Qinghe quipped.

"Maybe he was originally uglier, and they forced corrections on him several times to get him to look like this," Ximen Zhirou said a fair comment.

"It's not that I judge by appearance… it just feels very weak," Luo Shuangshuang evaluated.

Su Yang handed out the drawing for everyone to remember, then said, "The more unnoticed, the more careful you must be."

Saying that, he gave Lin Yang a beckoning gesture.

Lin Yang jogged over, curious, and asked, "What's up?"

Su Yang led him to the restaurant to sit down and asked, "You obtained a rare Hidden Achievement and have a title on you; take a look at its effect."

"Oh, right!"

Lin Yang slapped his forehead.

He actually forgot such an important matter.

So he immediately checked it.

A moment later, his complexion looked odd, even a bit green.

"Amplification is small?" Su Yang asked.

"No…"

Lin Yang scratched his hair, wore a bitter expression, and said, "Vision increased by 30%."

Uh…

Su Yang was about to comfort him but didn't know how to start.

After all, this thing sounds rather useless.

But he is an Ascend God Seed, so he said earnestly, "The stronger the vision, the greater the room for performance at night."

When Lin Yang heard that, his mood didn't improve at all.

On the contrary, it got worse.

"What about yours?" Lin Yang looked up and asked.

Su Yang glanced, and subconsciously let out a light "eh?"

【Title 'Hundred Ghost Night Parade': Summon a little ghost to carry out any Task the master orders, duration: 1 hour, Cooldown Time—1 day.】

"Little ghost?"
