Chapter 22 The Truest Lie
He silently recited the skills and looked at the talent column, just like a gambler removing the coating from a scratch-off lottery ticket, waiting for the lottery results to be announced.

Other-Friendly

You will have an easier time gaining the favor of other humanoids and learning skills from characters in the quest world who are willing to teach you.

Comment: You seem like a good person, a good listener, and a trustworthy teammate.

Fang Yi finally understood why he was able to come back alive from the world of spells. Although his talent was hidden on the panel, it still played a role in the mission.

All of the spell skills he possessed were acquired through his natural talent at a price that was almost free.

[This space gave me a chance to evolve my talent. Let's see what level I can reach after the enhancement.]

【Extraordinary Gravity】

You gain a certain basic friendship with the characters in the mission world based on your compatibility. The friendship level with the characters is easier to improve, and you can obtain the skills they can teach.

You are more likely to gain favor with all creatures that can communicate, regardless of their type. As a leader, you are more likely to convince others.

Evaluation: Your charm is like the omnipresent gravity, the core that connects each other in the team, and as a leader you can play a better role in gathering people's hearts.

[It doesn't immediately increase combat power, nor does it increase attribute growth. There is a theoretical upper limit, but it consumes a lot of points. However, it suits my style very well.]

Looking at the reincarnations who came to Chen Cheng one by one to report their talents, Fang Yi decided to use a small trick to circumvent the contract.

He did not want to truthfully state his talents and expose his advantages, nor did he want to conflict with Chen Cheng over such things. At this stage, revealing his cards would create many enemies out of thin air.

From that expensive guidebook, he got the information that the means of producing space skills is basically to self-certify after mastering them, or to produce them through tasks or special treasure chests.

Fang Yi decided to keep his mouth shut and take the secret of this talent to his grave.

It is obviously a very inefficient solution to form a team to kill zombie monsters like Kabane based on your own talents, the plot in your mind, and the existing skill set.
After seeing the talent, Fang Yi now has a unique strategy for this mission world.

[Let me think about it. Regarding the narrative talent part, I'd better use the most universal and flawless coping skills.]

Fang Yi has already thought of a response plan.
-
Li Gui and Wang Zhen, who were just fighting each other, have now started to treat each other like brothers, and at the same time, they have quickly transformed themselves into two loyal and capable watchdogs.

The two of them used their not-so-bright brains, sourced local materials, and gave full play to their subjective initiative.

A somewhat ugly temporary space was created in this carriage using various miscellaneous items, which was specifically used for Chen Cheng and Zhuang Zhengyan to "interview" reincarnations.

Both of them mark and distinguish those who have reported their talents from those who have not, and keep an eye on all the reincarnations in the carriage to check whether there are any who have not reported their talents and have slipped through the net.

Li Gui and Wang Zhen, with a somewhat arrogant air, perfectly interpreted the idiom "the fox borrows the tiger's power to bully others".

When it was Fang Yi's turn to be the last person to be interviewed, the two gate gods had become a little slack. They glanced at Fang Yi and continued to chat with the reincarnations who had come forward to flatter them, no longer focusing on their gatekeeping job.

As soon as Fang Yi walked into this space, he felt that the sound outside the door had disappeared.

I saw that Zhuang Zhengyan had taken off her cloak, revealing a delicate little face and shoulder-length brown hair.

Under the long and naturally raised eyebrows are a pair of clear and bright eyes that seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Under the tall and delicate nose bridge are soft, plump and slightly upturned lips, which look like fresh and juicy cherries that make people want to pick them.

The elegant facial features and fair and smooth skin create a charming face.

The exquisite figure wrapped in the cloak and the silent barrier maintained by her left hand form a beautiful picture, exuding a fresh and gentle charm.

As for Chen Cheng, he is a slightly ugly but unremarkable young man, and the author is too lazy to spend time describing his appearance.

"Sign a space contract first to guarantee that what you say is true. I promise that the content of this conversation will only remain between the three of us." Chen Cheng was already a little impatient.

Fang Yi glanced over the clauses and found that there were no clauses that were too trap-filled, so he signed a confidentiality agreement with both parties.

Zhuang Zhengyan added, "This is a silent barrier. No one outside can hear our conversation at normal volume. We just want to make sure the teammate we're looking for is strong and reliable."

Chen Cheng's rude remarks interrupted Zhuang Zhengyan's words.

"Describe what you were doing before entering the mission. Describe your talents in detail. Don't waste each other's time."

Fang Yi began to reminisce about his past. "My home is a martial arts gym. I was exercising in the empty room as usual, resting on the familiar little bed, thinking about my Border Collie who occasionally pooped everywhere."

[The martial arts gym is real, and my activities in the empty room are also real, but I am in a space.]

"Get to the point, talk about talent directly." Chen Cheng was a little annoyed by Fang Yi's lengthy description and knocked on the table leg with a knife.

"My talent makes it easier to improve the favorability of dog-like creatures."

Dogs belong to the category of living things.

"What other effects are there?" Chen Cheng stared at Fang Yi's handsome face and asked.

“When a dog joins my team, it’s easier for me to lead it.”

As a member of the team, the dog naturally follows my lead.

Chen Cheng stood up and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Rubbish talent."

He signaled Zhuang Zhengyan to stop using the silent barrier skill and strode out of this temporary space.

Zhuang Zhengyan bowed slightly to Fang Yi and followed Chen Cheng. When passing by Fang Yi, she said something that Chen Cheng could not hear.

"Feel sorry."

Fang Yi looked at her back as she chased after Chen Cheng and shook his head.

Chen Cheng has some strength, but he's still a bit too arrogant. Without someone like Zhuang Zhengyan to help him, he'd easily be defeated in space.

How do you say that.

[Those who are too hard are easily broken, while those who are gentle are invincible.]

I just used the most basic method and fooled him. How boring.
-
After Fang Yi left the temporary interview location, he discovered that the Samsara team had already been subtly divided into several major camps. The divisions between the major groups were clear, and the atmosphere was already tense.

The two watchdogs were naturally not part of Chen Cheng's core team. Under the influence of Chen Cheng's power, they formed a five-person parasitic group.

The two talented people gathered around Chen Cheng and formed a four-person elite team with Zhuang Zhengyan.

The rest are a couple who absorbed some core talents to form a 5-person team, and another 5-person team composed of a pair of brothers as the core.

There was also Fang Yi who had just walked out of the interview site and a man sitting in the corner.

After repeatedly describing his "rubbish talent" to other groups, Fang Yi was naturally rejected by other groups.

Fang Yi sat in the corner like the man, waiting for the train to arrive.

[When you arrive at the station, the main quest will be triggered. The destination should be Xianjinyi, where the protagonist of the original novel lives.]

Fang Yi looked at the man who was isolated like him. The man's appearance gave him the feeling of a familiar game character.

A closer look at the red scarf covering his mouth revealed some blood stains on it, his forehead was covered with obvious wrinkles, a flintlock was tied around his waist in his left hand, and a dagger was held in his right hand.

Fang Yi extended his hand to the man and spoke tentatively.

"My name is Fang Renyi, nice to meet you."

The man didn't expect anyone to speak to him. He looked at the hand, hesitated for a moment, took it, and then quickly withdrew it as if he had been electrocuted.

"My name is Disma."

[Combining the name and appearance, it's definitely him]

Fang Yi thought to himself.
