"Because I only recently joined the Self-Help Association, I haven't yet clearly experienced the effects of [Blessing], but according to others, this ability is quite good... However, after breaking the deadlock once, the blessing effect disappears, and it doesn't help the blessed person break the deadlock 100% of the time, it only increases the probability of a successful escape."

A collective blessing?

Xiao Linlin pondered for a moment. Based on Xu Zhiyi's previous display of ability, she believed that this woman had such methods.

The ability to bestow blessings and their actual effects are undoubtedly genuine. After all, the Self-Help Association has grown to such a large scale and is becoming increasingly successful, so it must have real skills and tangible benefits to attract others to join.

Otherwise, relying solely on the reputation of the strongest is just an empty shell. No one is a fool if they don't have survivors; people care more about what they can get from the self-rescue association.

Xu Zhiyi's calculations were very accurate. By using Su Lin's reputation as a facade and the collective blessing as the substance, this would basically create the strongest force among the survivors, making it difficult for any other force to compete or contend with it.

After all, their self-help group promotes a positive attitude of avoiding infighting and working together, posing a low threat to the collective and exhibiting high altruistic attributes.

"Therefore, you entered this match to test the abilities of Blessing and Life."

Xiao Linlin asked, "However, your brother's appearance makes you unsure which ability took effect. From this perspective... it's possible that your ability to trigger the hidden quest is due to the combined effect of two different abilities?"

"Um."

Wang Dalu nodded and said in a low voice, "I'm still speculating and verifying about these things, so I can't be completely certain yet."

He said all this, revealing his deepest secrets, in order to gain more of Su Lin's trust.

There are reasons for this, but ultimately this person is quite decent; he has some integrity and principles, otherwise Su Lin wouldn't have given him a second glance.

As for what Wang Dalu said, Xiao Linlin, contrary to her usual behavior, did not continue to explore or ask questions. She was pondering and deep in thought.

Jia Zhengyi, standing nearby, was quite enthusiastic. He took over Xiao Linlin's conversation and kept asking Wang Dalu more secrets, which Wang Dalu naturally told him in detail.

Since I've already said it, I might as well stop hiding anything and just cling to his coattails.

Su Lin looked at Xiao Linlin and asked in her mind, "What have you thought of this time?"

"Hmm... Brother, that fat guy was a bit strange before. I think it might be related to the blessing."

Xiao Linlin woke up and answered Su Lin's question: "We already know that Fatty and Wang Dalu have joined the Self-Salvation Association, and the Self-Salvation Association has the ability to bestow blessings, which Fatty should also know."

From the perspective of bestowing blessings, is it possible that the fat man knows that his older brother is his ally in breaking the deadlock?

"Based on the possibility of encountering his brother, the fat man can also verify that his current situation is dangerous from the perspective of [Blessing], which is why the effect of [Breaking the Situation] is triggered, allowing him to encounter his brother."

"But strangely... if that's the case, why isn't the fat guy following us?"

Xiao Linlin frowned, wondering about this: "What is Song Daqiang thinking? Given his relationship with his brother, he has absolutely no worries in this match, and his escape is extremely safe. He might even overeat."

Xiao Linlin's analysis is correct. Although Song Daqiang is not very capable, he is lucky!

He is one of only two former teammates of Su Lin to date!

Moreover, he and Su Lin went through the initial escape rounds side by side, and he also proved his character in several encounters. Regardless of how good his relationship with Su Lin was, at least Song Daqiang would have had to shamelessly ask Su Lin for help without being rejected.

In fact, he was more qualified than Wang Dalu to stand beside the strongest person and could openly use his position to intimidate others.

With such a great opportunity, how could the fat man not realize it? Would he let it slip by?

This is unreasonable.

"Linlin, do you think Song Daqiang is harboring bad intentions?"

"No, not at all. I'm just curious about that."

"Forget it, as long as he doesn't have any bad intentions, let him be."

Su Lin comforted Xiao Linlin, who nodded and looked back at Wang Dalu, who was chatting happily with Jia Zhengyi. Suddenly, she said, "Brother Dalu."

"Why?"

Wang Dalu looked up, seemingly flattered, still not quite used to Xiao Linlin's sweet way of addressing him.

"There's something else I'm really curious about."

Xiao Linlin, with her hands behind her back, asked with a smile, "What reward did the hidden quest you got give you?"

"About the reward... oh! I almost forgot about it!"

Wang Dalu slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "I haven't received the reward yet, but I have received something else."

"Here it is, I was just about to give it to my older brother."

Wang Dalu, as if performing a magic trick, flipped his right hand, revealing something to everyone.

This object is radiant and looks exceptionally extraordinary.

Jia Zhengyi, standing nearby, took a closer look and immediately gasped, "Holy crap! It's amazing!!"
