The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

When Lin Yuwei typed the last line, her fingers were still hovering above the virtual keyboard, trembling slightly.

The cable car was quiet; only she could hear her own heartbeat, one beat after another, like something pounding in her chest.

The message on the screen had already been sent, hanging quietly in the chat window: "I've decided to stay with you."

She stared at the line of text for two seconds, then looked away as if she had been burned, her face turning red to the roots of her ears.

She wasn't acting impulsively.

She had been thinking about this for a long time.

She had repeatedly confirmed the rules for talent refresh: one new talent per week, which can be retained or combined, and the total level of talents in the lineup cannot exceed 3S.

This means she has the potential to grow, but the growth curve is too slow.

Even if she develops exceptional talent on her own, without sufficient resources, a safe environment, and people to cooperate with, many of her talents simply cannot realize their full potential.

Just like now.

She had a lot of intelligence, some of which she obtained through her daily intelligence talent, and some of which she found out little by little by asking around and investigating.

Many of these intelligence reports pointed to dangerous areas, with some even marked as "high reward, high risk." She tried going there alone.

The results of it?

Once, she thought she was fully prepared, with equipment, routes, and evacuation plans all done, but she almost lost her life at an inconspicuous entrance.

The danger in those places far exceeded her expectations. If she hadn't prepared invisibility items in advance, she wouldn't have had the chance to sit here and send messages now.

So she knew very well.

Even the strongest intelligence needs a capable executor to utilize it.

Su Mu is that person.

The talent she discovered this week only strengthened her resolve.

[Charging Link (Unique)]

Bind to a target. Once bound, it cannot be changed unless the target dies.

When the space between the two people is less than 10 square meters, the system enters a charging state. The charging time is based on the time the two people spend together.

Once the space between the two individuals exceeds 10 square meters, they enter the energy release phase.

Passive: When releasing energy, the caster gains the linked target's maximum health and 50% defense bonus; the linked target gains the caster's maximum strength and spirit bonus. (Ignores distance)

Active: The caster can consume their own health and spirit to replenish the health and spirit of the linked.

When Lin Yuwei first saw this talent, she sat in the cable car for a long time without moving.

Unique binding.

The player cannot be replaced.

It requires two people to use.

This means she has to stake her talent, her survival, and her most crucial asset in this world on one person.

That person must be strong enough to amplify her support effects to the extreme; they must be trustworthy enough that she would dare to entrust her life to them.

The first person she thought of was Su Mu.

More importantly, Lin Yuwei was also suppressing a thought in her mind that she was reluctant to admit.

The gap between her and Su Mu is widening.

After the battle at Peach Blossom Village, there was that three-colored light and the disintegrating skeleton. Su Mu had already run far away; his enemies were ghost generals, awakened beings, and things that even her detector dared not point at.

And what about her? She's still running around for a few pieces of intelligence, and she almost died because of a mistake.

She is afraid.

I'm afraid that if things continue like this, I'll be left behind completely.

She feared that one day Su Mu would go to a place where she could no longer receive any news, and she would be left standing in the ruins of Ash City, watching his figure grow further and further away until he disappeared completely.

But if this link exists, at least she's still useful.

At least she could stake everything she had on him, becoming a part of his fighting force. Even if she was just behind him, as long as the connection remained, she wouldn't be abandoned.

Moreover, the fact that she brought it up now is her own initiative.

We didn't wait until the cable car broke down and we had nowhere else to go before seeking refuge with him.

She thought it through, made her choice, and went through it with her own values ​​and sincerity.

She doesn't need charity, she doesn't need to appear pitiful. She came with talent, with intelligence, and with the ability to enhance Su Mu's abilities.

At least... at the beginning, she was standing.

Lin Yuwei thought about this and reviewed her logic again, and it seemed there was nothing wrong with it.

For some reason, whenever I think of the words "training camp," all sorts of random thoughts start popping into my head: waterbed, space, ten square meters, bondage, unique...

She took a deep breath, buried her face in her knees, and waited for Su Mu's reply.

.........

Su Mu looked at the line of text but did not reply immediately.

He admitted he was somewhat surprised, but after the initial shock, he quickly went through the whole incident in his mind.

Lin Yuwei wouldn't make such a request without a reason.

She is not the kind of person who would put herself in a passive position.

The fact that she dared to say that shows that she has thought through the pros and cons and is even prepared to give up all her escape routes.

Because, a joint training camp means she has to give up her own cable car and get into his.

Once you're inside, it's like handing your life over to him.

He was well aware of the system rules; the cable car owner had the authority to evict the cable car.

Those who are expelled will no longer have access to the cable car, nor will they have the option to "go back to the previous cable car".

In other words, if he were to turn against her one day, Lin Yuwei would have nowhere to go.

Not to mention the safety restrictions once you're inside someone else's cable car.

No harm may be caused to the cable car owner; any actions that pose a danger will be recorded and the owner will be notified.

This means that even Lin Yuwei's most basic means of self-protection would be rendered useless by the rules in his presence.

She must know these things.

The fact that they are willing to bring this up under these circumstances is itself a very strong signal.

Su Mu didn't think she was acting impulsively.

On the contrary, the timing was very clever.

It wasn't after Ash City had just fallen and she had no way out, nor was it when she was forced to ask for help during a battle, but rather now, when everything was still relatively stable, that she took the initiative to speak up.

This allowed her to retain the initiative of "choice," and also prevented him from treating her as a simple person seeking help.

She was telling him: I didn't come to you because I had nowhere else to go; I came here with sincerity because I knew you were the right person for me.

Su Mu understood this meaning very clearly.

Then he began to analyze her value as a person.

His daily intelligence talent is very similar to his own, enabling him to consistently produce directional information.

This is crucial for critical decision-making, and he himself has avoided detours many times by relying on similar intelligence.

If this talent is just a branch of her true talent, then her actual intelligence-gathering ability will only be stronger.

That night in Ash City, from discovering the gray fog infection to confirming the infection conditions, she took less than twenty minutes, and even inquired about the impact of the cable car level.

This level of efficiency is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

And then there's what she mentioned today: "talent refresh."

If she can truly refresh a talent every week and freely combine them, her potential for growth is enormous. What she lacks is not the quantity of talents, but rather the sufficient resources and protection to support her growth.

These are things he can give.

Moreover, Su Mu had not forgotten what happened in Ash City.

At that time, in front of the scholar BOSS, he had already judged that the situation was unfavorable and told her to retreat first.

She didn't leave.

She stayed to help him because he wasn't feeling well at the time.

If she hadn't been there that time, things would have been much more complicated afterwards.

From that moment on, he knew that this person could be relied upon in crucial moments.

Su Mu thought for a moment and replied with a single word: "Okay."
