Chapter 367
This is……
It's Jiang Yi's voice!
The contestant with the pointed face and monkey-like features instantly became tense!
Only then did I begin to regret it!
Sure enough, he shouldn't have messed with any of the contestants selected for this assessment!
This was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!
but……
Jiang Yi did not kill him immediately.
With his sharp features and monkey-like face, he was quick-witted and immediately thought of something.
He suddenly seemed unafraid.
Since it was pitch black, he closed his eyes and said in a relaxed and leisurely tone:
"Tsk tsk, my strength is terrible, but I still made it into the top twenty on the time ranking."
"And you, tsk tsk, the number one on the Heart-Searching Ranking, are ranked at the bottom on the Time Ranking."
"So many talented individuals, each with their own methods."
"And you, number one on the Heart-Searching Ranking? Tsk tsk, you seem like a slacker!"
It has to be said, did these geniuses specifically learn the art of taunting?
Hui Nian's first words were always, "Everyone here is trash."
This weasel-faced guy first said that his first place on the Heart-Questioning Ranking had no real value, and now he's calling him a slacker.
Hi.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi was thick-skinned and didn't take it to heart at all.
He completely ignored the guy's sarcasm, and even had the mood to laugh:
"You? You're in the top twenty on the Time Ranking?"
With its pointed snout and monkey-like face, it gave a cold "humph," closed its eyes, and looked quite proud.
Jiang Yi laughed again:
"Having ability leads to having personality, there's nothing wrong with that."
"But risking your life for that bit of individuality is probably not a wise move, is it?"
An understatement.
The young man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks changed his expression slightly.
Jiang Yi then asked, "What's your name among the top twenty?"
After a moment of silence, a sentence was uttered:
“Foolish Yue”.
Oops.
This guy is Yu Yue.
Jiang Yi had noticed this name.
He was indeed one of the first players to gain a significant boost in playing time.
And now, his time has reached more than two hundred days.
Jiang Yi's eyes flickered slightly, then he slowly smiled and said:
"Well, what's that saying again?"
"Sending a head from a thousand miles away, the gift is light but the sentiment is heavy."
"Since you think so highly of me, my brother, for being number one on the Heart-Searching Ranking, then I'll give you two choices now—"
"Either I kill you and accept the two hundred-plus days you gave me;"
"Or, you could take the initiative, and I'll accept the secret to rapidly increasing time that you're offering."
In fact, the phrase "愚兄" (yúxiōng) is generally used to refer to oneself.
However, Jiang Yi didn't care.
Even Yu Yue could understand it.
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:
"I choose the latter."
Jiang Yi laughed again: "As expected of someone selected for this assessment, you are indeed quite pragmatic."
However, Yu Yue added, "But why should I be sure that you'll let me go just because you've obtained my secret?"
Jiang Yi nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense."
"but……"
He raised an eyebrow, then changed the subject: "Do you have a choice?"
The air fell silent for a moment.
Yu Yue suddenly let out a cold laugh: "Hmph."
"I knew you would say that!"
"But I do have a choice!"
"I don't know about the other players, but the secret to my rapid increase in time comes from my own unique talent."
"You can't take this talent away from me!"
"If you want to quickly increase your time, you have to work with me!"
This guy is starting to brag again.
Jiang Yi didn't care and asked directly, "Okay, tell me, what exactly is your talent?"
After a long silence, Yu Yue finally said in a deep voice:
"I can't tell anyone about my talent."
"You can either just kill me."
"Or, you can give me ten white spinning wheels."
"I can give you a blue spinning wheel right now."
"On the blue wheel, there will be an option to add 10 days to the time."
"Whether you can draw it or not depends on your luck."
Yu Yue's words seemed sincere.
But Jiang Yi had many doubts.
With his talent, he transformed 10 white discs into one blue disc.
This ability is somewhat similar to Zhu Song's talent.
but……
Zhu Song was evolving into a professional roulette wheel at that time.
It also consumed a large amount of offerings.
This foolish Yue, a prodigy caught up in this assessment.
It's quite normal that his abilities are superior to Zhu Song's.
But Jiang Yi had his suspicions...
Is this ability truly a product of talent?
He did not fully believe in Yu Yue.
But after a moment's thought, he nodded in agreement:
"Okay, demonstrate it to me first. Once I've confirmed that what you're saying is true, I'll consider cooperating with you."
Yu Yue seemed relieved: "Then go collect 10 white wheels first, and then remove the restrictions on me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he could move his body again.
Vision returned to normal.
Just as a wicked thought crossed his mind, Jiang Yi said in a serious tone:
"I'll also lay my cards on the table with you—"
"I possess both the abilities of 'blind spot of death' and 'fighting back from the brink of defeat'."
"If you don't believe me, you can try it."
"..."
Yu Yue's face stiffened, and he instinctively disbelieved it!
I just want to say one thing: what a liar!
But Jiang Yi's expression...
It certainly doesn't sound like a lie!
and……
Those who are caught up in the assessment cannot be judged by ordinary standards.
So even if you don't want to believe it in your heart.
Ultimately, Yu Yue did not act rashly.
Jiang Yi simply flipped his hand and handed him 10 white spinning wheels.
"Come on, let your performance begin."
Yu Yue was a little surprised that this guy had ten white spinning wheels in his hand.
He held ten spinning wheels in his hand, sighed softly, and suddenly his figure changed.
It suddenly transformed from a humanoid creature with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks into a pitch-black, rat-like monster.
Unlike ordinary mice—
His tail seemed to be broken into pieces, connected by a silvery-white energy.
In addition, its claws are also shaped like scythes and are exceptionally sharp.
Finally, and most eerie of all, were those beast eyes!
Despite their small size, their eyes seemed to contain intricate patterns like stars scattered across the sky!
This strange monster...
It has a feeling of ancient monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Jiang Yi vaguely guessed that this guy must have lived in a very long time ago.
Similar to Tianchou, it's the kind of race that has existed for hundreds of years.
Perhaps the race has already become extinct.
He was just about to ask what race this guy was.
Then a bizarre and astonishing scene unfolded—
The rat-like monster had strange and ever-changing patterns in its tiny eyes!
Immediately afterwards...
He tossed ten white spinning wheels into the air.
Its agile figure soared into the sky.
The eerie, severed rat tail, like a sharp sword, pierced directly through the ten white turntables!
This scene almost made Jiang Yi's jaw drop!
From his perspective, it seemed as if the center of the turntable had truly been pierced by the rat's tail!
But he quickly realized—
This is probably just a visual illusion.
In fact, the turntable was not penetrated.
But his rat tail was actually broken into pieces at the turntable.
Then, immediately afterward, the rat's tail retracted.
Jiang Yiming didn't even blink before he saw—
The ten spinning wheels quickly fell together, bursting with blue-green light!
The brilliance faded...
The original ten white discs actually turned into one blue disc, which was then attached to Yu Yue's "rat tail".
Of course, the center of the turntable was still not actually penetrated.
However, the "rat tail" of Yu Yue was broken off at one of the hollowed-out sections.
He flashed and then returned to human form.
At the same time, he handed the blue turntable to Jiang Yi, his eyes gleaming with smugness and pride: "How about that? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Jiang Yi didn't speak, but in his heart he felt—
Why does this monkey-faced guy suddenly look pleasing to the eye?
This guy's pointed, monkey-like face seems to be derived from his animalistic, rat-like appearance?
but……
Jiang Yi took the blue spinning wheel, his eyes flickering slightly. He then asked bluntly, "Are you sure that rat 'tail' of yours is an organ and not a special prop?"
