Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 145: Second Generation Insight, Su Yuanshan!

"This Erik..."

Within a conference room at the Special Affairs Group Headquarters, Chang Jinze, staring at the lengthy post by Erik on the Dream Realm Forum, couldn't help shaking his head, "Having lost his Gold Talent, he has completely exposed it."

"I can understand." Opposite Chang Jinze, a man sitting with a pair of half-framed glasses, who had a rather refined look, pushed up his glasses and showed a slight smile. "If I were in his shoes, I probably would do the same."

"To reveal the Talent Effect of Soul Fusion is to take revenge on Matsusaka Shigeki who killed him, and to reveal the Talent Effect of Ascension is to make it hot to handle for subsequent players who acquire this Talent."

"And what about Erik revealing the Talent Effect of Insight then?" Chang Jinze glanced at the man before him with a touch of sympathy, "You ended up in an undeserved disaster."

That night, though the Special Affairs Group was well-prepared, the first round of draws was a complete failure, failing to secure Insight.

Members of the Special Affairs Group who only got blue or lower Talents restarted right at the scene and re-entered Dream World, striving to reach the nearest Dragon Gate Camp. With the assistance of other Special Affairs Group personnel at the camp, the second round of draws was launched and finally secured it.

The man wearing glasses before him was the lucky member and also a colleague whom Chang Jinze had known for years.

Su Yuanshan, a detective with a resounding reputation throughout the entire Criminal Investigation Department before joining the Special Affairs Group, was known as "Four-Eyes Fox."

"Not really an undeserved disaster," Su Yuanshan said with a slight shake of his head, his expression calm, not at all annoyed that the Gold Talent he had just acquired and had scarcely used had been exposed. "Erik must have guessed the Special Affairs Group's actions after killing Conni, guessed that Insight was in our hands."

"In fact, we were the reason he was killed by Matsusaka Shigeki."

"So... it's not exactly an undeserved disaster."

"Moreover, don't worry about it." Su Yuanshan glanced at Chang Jinze, "Insight is different from other Talents; even if I openly tell you its effect, you still won't be able to guard against it fully."

Chang Jinze looked thoughtful. "It seems you are quite pleased with this Talent."

"Indeed," Su Yuanshan nodded. "Of the nine Gold Talents, the exact effects of several are still unclear, but I think this one should suit me the best."

"It might not come into play quickly, but it will definitely be crucial in turning the tides of the game."

"That player named Conni didn't fully exploit its advantages, but I will not make that mistake."

"I am quite certain of that," Chang Jinze nodded in agreement, thinking of the former owner of the Insight Talent whom he had killed.

That guy was at best a little clever, being able to blindly turn to Erik like that, evidently not having much wisdom to speak of.

And the Talent of Insight, it was meant for smart people.

Only a wise man who could string together each seemingly ordinary clue and maximize its use to influence the game could utilize this Gold Talent to its fullest potential.

Luckily, Su Yuanshan before him had both the confidence and the capability for it.

"The higher-ups intend to team us up," Chang Jinze said slowly. "Soon Luo will help me find the missing piece of Rare Resources I need. By the time I advance to Elite Level, I should just be about ready to meet up with you in Dream World."

"Good," Su Yuanshan nodded and then suddenly asked, "There's a female player named Yue Li around Luo. You've been in close contact with her during this operation, any findings?"

"Yue Li?" Chang Jinze thought about the girl who always followed Luo's lead and replied nonchalantly, "Other than being quite strong, nothing really remarkable, I guess?"

Hearing this, Su Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the expression on Su Yuanshan, Chang Jinze frowned. "Does this Yue Li have any special significance?"

Instead of answering, Su Yuanshan questioned back, "Previously, when Luo proactively approached you to confess his Talent, and later when you asked him again if his Talent was Prayer, he also proved it himself, right?"

"Yes," Chang Jinze couldn't stop glancing at Su Yuanshan, "Are you still suspicious that he possesses the Prayer Talent? But what does this have to do with your questions about Yue Li?"

"I don't think Luo holds the Prayer Talent," Su Yuanshan pushed up his glasses, "but during the process of stating his own Talent, he often subconsciously avoids mentioning Prayer."

"That was an expression of someone quite familiar with the 'Prayer Talent Effect'," Su Yuanshan said.

"Are you suggesting... Yue Li?" Chang Jinze widened his eyes in disbelief, his gaze towards Su Yuanshan now laced with amazement.

Despite having direct communication with Qin Chuan, Chang Jinze hadn't noticed the slightest clue. Yet, Su Yuanshan was able to detect hints of it just by reviewing their conversational records after the fact.

Was their gap really that wide?

"Moreover, I think there's a good chance that Qin Chuan might also possess some Gold 'Talent' that we are unaware of," Su Yuanshan stated calmly, "because when he faced you, he maintained an equal stance, implying he didn't place much emphasis on your 'Holy Sanctuary.'"

"Under normal circumstances, one wouldn't do so without having a Gold 'Talent.'"

"Maybe it's because he's used to being around a holder of the 'Prayer Talent' every day?" Chang Jinze offered his own speculation.

Su Yuanshan's previous deduction was logical and well-founded, but he was less convinced by this one.

"That's why I said it's a possibility," Su Yuanshan replied thoughtfully. "His 'Talent' can locate Rare Resources, but that alone isn't sufficient."

"If Luo can obtain a 'Hall Crystal' through his 'Talent,' becoming the first to advance a 'Spiritual Beast' to 'Hall Rank,' then I can be certain that his 'Talent' is some unknown Gold 'Talent.'"

"Gold 'Talent'..." Chang Jinze fell silent.

Although the internet was rife with speculations that both Luo and Yue Li possessed Gold 'Talents,' he had always found that hard to believe.

Considering their past trajectories, both had been allies from the moment the 'Ranking List' first appeared.

Both winning Gold 'Talents' simultaneously?

The odds were astronomically low.

Now, even with Su Yuanshan suggesting it, Chang Jinze couldn't help but doubt.

"When Luo gives you the Rare Resources, you can reveal some key information to him," Su Yuanshan eyed the contemplative Chang Jinze.

"In Erik's recount, Matsusaka Shigeki used 'Instant Teleportation' to trick out his 'Third Talent.' The next day, while it was still on cooldown, he killed him."

"In defeating Erik, 'Instant Teleportation' was crucial."

"Matsusaka Shigeki, a notorious killer on the leaderboards, suddenly halted his killing spree and made a beeline for Erik."

"That day Erik provoked Matsusaka Shigeki during a live broadcast, but that wasn't the real reason for Matsusaka Shigeki's change."

"The real reason was that he had killed a player with the 'Instant Teleportation Talent.'"

"What?" Chang Jinze's pupils shrank sharply.

He was aware of all of this information.

But knowing and being able to connect the dots were very different things.

As Su Yuanshan reasoned, a terrifying speculation unfolded in Chang Jinze's mind.

Su Yuanshan spoke again.

"The true effect of 'Soul Fusion's' Third Talent is to use the 'Talents' of the players he kills."

"So..."

"The current Matsusaka Shigeki can use the 'Talent Effect' of 'Ascension.'"
