Shen Sui seemed to mention it casually, remarking offhandedly that Su Man and Scarface were close to Lin Yu.

In reality, he had deliberately brought it up, indirectly telling Lin Yu that he saw every relationship within the team.

It was a subtle warning, delivered without any malice.

And it would not provoke any resentment from Lin Yu.

That was the art of speaking.

Shen Sui did not think Lin Yu was forming a clique.

It was just that, when he occupied this position, certain things had to be said.

Even if they were meaningless, he still had to say them.

Of course, words like these had to be addressed to someone who understood them. If he said this to Yellow Hair, Yellow Hair would definitely laugh and thump his chest. "Relax, everyone loves me! Hahahahaha!"

The allocation was complete.

Lin Yu called Su Man and Scarface aside and briefly explained Shen Sui's plans to them.

From now on.

Su Man and Scarface would become leaders among the survivors, ranking just below the Transcendents and Uncle Zhao.

Their regular duties would be to assist Uncle Zhao and manage the ordinary survivors in the team.

They were to make the survivor team as orderly as possible, stay informed about each survivor's mental and physical condition, and do their best to prevent extreme situations like the one in the last Instance.

They would also handle passenger assignments for each vehicle and discipline during escapes.

In emergencies, Su Man and Scarface would also have the authority to act first and report afterward.

Their position would be called supervisor.

If you wanted a horse to run, you had to feed it well.

So, from now on, they would not be forced to participate in any [Choices], and they would receive food at regular intervals. There was no guarantee they would eat well, but they would not starve to death.

Both of them grew excited on the spot.

Su Man was overjoyed, so delighted that she wanted to dance. She was actually going to become a leader among the survivors!

Supervisor!

Supervisor Su!

She loved that title!

Wonderful!

She had finally made it!

She knew tipping Lin Yu off back then had been the right move!

See!

Lin Yu remembered what she had done for him!

He must have put in a good word for her with Shen Sui!

Su Man gazed at Lin Yu with gratitude filling her beautiful eyes. Her cheeks flushed red, and she was already imagining the wonderful life ahead. And she owed it all to Lin Yu!

"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Lin. Thank you so much."

Su Man spoke excitedly.

If Lin Yu wanted her, she would not hesitate even if he asked her to give herself to him right then and there.

Scarface was equally thrilled. He paced back and forth, so excited that he did not know what to do with his hands, scratching his head one moment and his face the next. Finally, he eagerly declared his loyalty, saying firmly:

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. From now on, my life is yours!"

"I'll walk through fire for you without hesitation!"

Scarface felt incredibly fortunate. Thank goodness he had decisively sold out that bitch Zhou Mei back then!

Otherwise.

How would he ever have gotten this chance!

Lin Yu looked at them and said calmly:

"No need to thank me. This was Captain Shen's idea. Manage the team properly. What happened in the last Instance must not happen again."

Both of them straightened:

"Yes!"

Lin Yu's conversation with Su Man and Scarface was not kept private, so many survivors heard it.

The survivors looked at Su Man and Scarface with immense envy.

They had not expected the team's reforms to begin so soon!

And...

There were now two additional supervisors.

Two supervisors who stood above them.

Su Man was understandable. She had injected the Gene Enhancement Fluid, so it was only natural for her to become a supervisor.

But why did Scarface get to become a supervisor?

Just because he had sucked up to Lin Yu?

Well...

On reflection, that did seem like a very convincing reason.

If an ordinary person could get close to the Transcendent Lin Yu, wasn't that enough to make him a supervisor?

At that thought.

The survivors' eyes filled with envy. They glanced at Lin Yu from time to time, regret on their faces. If they had tried to please him sooner, perhaps they could have become supervisors too...

Unfortunately...

It was too late now!

No one regretted it more than Wu Han. His heart clenched painfully, and he wanted to slap himself hard across the face!

He had clearly realized back then that Lin Yu was no ordinary man!

But...

Why hadn't he kept trying to get on Lin Yu's good side!

Just because Lin Yu had offended Zhai Guang, he had been too afraid to approach him.

And in the end...

He had missed his best opportunity!

What he did not know, however, was that even if he had kept sucking up to Lin Yu without pause, Lin Yu would not have put in a single word for him.

Lin Yu had chosen Su Man and Scarface for exactly the reasons he had given Shen Sui.

Su Man had injected the Gene Enhancement Fluid.

Scarface was ruthless and had several underlings.

The two of them were genuinely suited to the job.

That was all.

Lin Yu began moving the supplies he had stored in Ye Qing's vehicle into his new vehicle, the [Armored Pickup].

Throughout the process.

Ye Qing wore a pitiful, aggrieved expression. Her eyes were full of resentment and helplessness whenever she looked at Lin Yu, as though he were a faithless lover. Anyone who did not know better would have thought he had done something to her.

Faced with that expression, Lin Yu could only keep moving his supplies with a dark look on his face.

Just as Lin Yu was nearly finished, Ye Qing suddenly reached out with her smooth little hand and grabbed his arm, asking plaintively:

"Want to exchange information?"

Exchange information?

Lin Yu's brow twitched, and he asked:

"Exchange what?"

Ye Qing's eyes shifted:

"Our pathways. Tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Had this woman started taking an interest in his pathway?

To be honest, he was rather curious about Ye Qing's pathway too.

No one in the team knew what her pathway was.

They only knew that, in combat, she summoned dangerous, eerily beautiful Mandalas. As for her specific pathway...

They had no way of knowing yet.

After barely half a second of thought, Lin Yu shook his head:

"I'm not interested in other people's secrets."

Lin Yu turned to leave.

Ye Qing clung tightly to his arm, refusing to let go, and persisted:

"But I'm interested in yours. You could just tell me without getting anything in return."

Lin Yu refused:

"No!"

They remained locked in this standoff for over ten seconds before Ye Qing finally shot Lin Yu a resentful look, released his arm, and sighed:

"Ah, you heartless man. Men are always like this. Once their pants are back on, they pretend nothing happened..."

Lin Yu's expression darkened:

"Don't say things that people could misunderstand."

Ye Qing leaned closer to Lin Yu and said expectantly:

"Tell me your pathway, and I'll stop."

Lin Yu refused without hesitation:

"Not a chance!"

She wanted to know his pathway?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Although the Traveler Pathway itself was hardly a secret, the [Sixth Sense] he had fabricated was clearly not an ability it possessed. So, until he knew how many Travelers there were in this world.

He would never tell anyone his pathway.

Not until he...

Could disregard anyone's suspicions.

Besides.

If he wanted to know Ye Qing's pathway, wasn't that easy? One use of [Analysis], and wouldn't the truth be laid bare?

Who would exchange secrets with her!

In her dreams!
