"Aside from that, are these the only people?"
Su Lin glanced at everyone and calmly asked, "You told me there are 1,856 people in this match, but you only brought 132."
"Also, where did Wang Dalu go?"
"Su Shen, Wang Dalu has gone to find the rest of the people. We'll split up and do our work halfway."
Huang Yi lowered his head and respectfully explained, "In truth, this matter was also my fault. I did underestimate the strength of this world. Theoretically, we could contact all the survivors within a month, but we would basically have to traverse many geographical locations in the world that resemble restricted zones, and we would also have to deal with some areas occupied by the Great Immortal Sect."
"This world is very dangerous. I have encountered a lot of danger on my way to reach my brothers and on my way back."
“It’s not just cultivators, but also ferocious beasts everywhere. I dare not venture too deep, so I brought these brothers back first.”
“As for Darren Wang, he said he was more confident and took the initiative to contact brothers who were geographically further away. I told him my location information, and he said he would try to come back within two months.”
"Of course, I didn't just contact those 132 people; I actually contacted 367 people this time..."
Huang Yi paused, then said softly, "...Not everyone is willing to accept the ideas I'm talking about."
He phrased it tactfully, without emphasizing that it was Su Lin's will.
But anyone with eyes can see that Huang Yi is using Su Lin's name all along. Even if someone doesn't believe it, they won't reject it outright; they should at least verify the truth of the matter.
Huang Yi's statement likely serves as sufficient proof of her relationship with Su Lin, using the concept of "non-acceptance" to answer Su Lin's question.
"Are we on different paths?"
Su Lin smiled, said nothing more, and made no indication of how he would deal with the survivors who refused to make contact.
"Now that you're all here, Huang Yi should tell you what I plan to do next."
Su Lin's smile faded, his tone grew serious, and his gaze swept over everyone: "I'm not as sharp-tongued as Xu Zhiyi. I can't talk nonsense, and I'm planning to start another self-help group."
"I don't intend to make any promises to you. I can only tell you that I will try my best to take care of your lives while ensuring my own interests."
"Since you've all come, you must be here to gain a deeper understanding of these matters. The only guarantee I can give you at this time is this:"
Su Lin paused for a moment, then said calmly, "You are free to come and go within seven days. As long as you don't do anything reckless, I won't interfere with you, nor will I force you to do anything for me."
"But after seven days, those who remain here will be my people, and they must abide by my rules and do my work."
"The decision on the matter is up to each of you."
Su Lin spoke firmly, without listing any rules or mentioning the consequences of not following them.
He only emphasized his own will, giving people ample opportunity and choice.
As for the consequences of the choices made, everyone here is intelligent enough to understand without further explanation.
"Do you understand everything?"
Su Lin's gaze swept across the room and saw the survivors nodding one after another. Although some of them looked hesitant, they at least made a show of it.
To put it bluntly, since the start of the escape game, apart from the self-rescue club, very few people have been able to create a situation where a large number of survivors are in contact at the same time during a game.
After all, the rules and regulations within the organization are laid out in the open. Without enough authority to suppress everyone, no one can be sure that someone might suddenly erupt.
"Um."
Su Lin nodded, stood up and gestured for Xiao Linlin to sit in his seat, then pointed to Xiao Linlin and said to everyone, "Let me briefly introduce you. This is Xiao Linlin. You should have had some contact with her in the past two days."
“She will handle everything on my behalf. You can ask her any questions. She will be in charge of all contact during the seven days, and she will also be in charge of most things after the seven days.”
"She is me."
Su Lin paused, then said softly, "Her friends are my friends; the people she wants to kill are the people I want to kill."
Su Lin had been direct enough, which made many survivors feel a chill. Some survivors who had not yet realized Xiao Linlin's status looked at the little girl sitting in the main seat again.
Looking at her sweet smile and youthful face, people truly realized her place in Su Lin's heart.
This is the wise man Huang Yi mentioned, standing behind Su Lin, who has absolute influence over Su Lin.
He finished speaking.
Su Lin didn't linger. He had Xu Zhenshu summon Lyanna and the elves for protection, and then hurried off to find Li Xingtian.
Xiao Linlin did not try to stop him; in her future plans, Su Lin was not the one who would actually be in charge.
Su Lin is merely a symbol of this new power, a flag in people's minds; Xiao Linlin should be in charge of the overall situation regarding more specific matters.
Su Lin must dedicate all his energy to improving his own strength.
Only absolute strength can suppress everything; there's no need to scheme and be overly cautious like Xu Zhiyi.
"Dear friends, welcome to Xiaoyun Temple..."
As soon as Su Lin left, a clear child's voice rang out in the main hall. Su Lin didn't listen for long and quickly found Li Xingtian in the kitchen of the side hall.
"grandfather?"
"Oh my, you walk like a ghost, without making a sound!"
Li Xingtian, who was bent over getting wine, suddenly shuddered, turned around abruptly, and looked at Su Lin with disbelief.
"Is there?"
Su Lin looked down at himself, then looked at Li Xingtian and saw that he didn't seem to be faking it; he was genuinely frightened.
"You brat, what kind of magic did you just use?"
"The Gentle Breeze Technique is for traveling; it can conceal one's presence to a certain extent."
"Strange, how could you have fooled me without changing your techniques?"
Li Xingtian was shocked. Forgetting about getting the wine, he rushed to Su Lin's side, looked him over, and suddenly placed his hand on his pulse.
Before long, Li Xingtian exclaimed with delight, "Kid, you've reached the Core Formation stage! You've reached the Golden Core stage!"
Clearly, the old man had also seen the golden elixir on the platform.
"Yeah?"
Su Lin was taken aback, then lowered her head and honestly said, "I don't know either. I was unsure about this, so I came to ask Grandpa..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Xingtian withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, his expression one of utter shock: "You son of a bitch, this is a demon pill!"
"Ghost Pill?"
Su Lin felt a chill run down his spine and quickly asked, "Grandpa, do you recognize this kind of pill?"
"I don't know him."
Li Xingtian shook his head and rolled his eyes: "I'll just say one thing: this damn pill shocked me like a thunderbolt, it's really weird."
"Heavenly lightning...the Golden Core is heavenly lightning?"
Su Lin was stunned. Li Xingtian nodded, rested his chin on his hand, and looked Su Lin up and down. Suddenly, he said, "You have a top-level Heavenly Tribulation hidden in your body."
