Chapter 69 – The Knight's Rule of Distribution

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"The point is, that guy's Speed is well over 80 Points. The person you just killed had a slowing ability, and now he's dead!"

"So, there is absolutely no one left who can control that guy's speed. Once he gets his hands on Pandora's Box, none of us will be able to catch him!"

Wen Yu spread his hands as he finished speaking.

"So, what now?"

After hearing Wen Yu's words, Chu Ziling's face turned ashen. Meanwhile, Sequence 29 and his two companions looked at Wen Yu with half-smiles before turning their gaze toward William, eagerly waiting to see what he would choose.

William looked at Wen Yu very seriously and stated his view directly.

"Why must we fight over it? Actually, those of us present can just divide it equally. Wouldn't it be fine if everyone opened it once?"

"Heh."

Wen Yu gave a dry laugh but said nothing.

On the contrary, Chu Ziling, who was the furthest from the Treasure Box, had his eyes light up.

"I agree with that!"

As the weakest of the four parties present, this proposal benefited him the most!

"You agree to jack shit!"

Chu Ziling's words only drew an angry shout from Wen Yu.

Wen Yu finally understood why Sun Ruixing and William had ended up together. These two were cut from the same cloth-both were idealistic fools!

Moving slightly away from William, Wen Yu spoke directly to the Military Uniform Trio, who were currently deep in thought. "Let's cooperate. We kill the two of them, then you guys open the box once, and I open it once."

Seeing the serious expression Wen Yu directed at them, Sequence 29 let out a cold laugh.

"We agree with the Knight's words. Everyone opens it once. However, since we have more people, I won't ask for too much-the three of you get one opening each, but the three of us want two openings total!"

After speaking, he ignored Wen Yu's darkening expression and stared straight at William.

If a problem could be solved with words, it was best not to resort to violence. Because once they started fighting, any unexpected accident would lead to consequences they couldn't afford!

William pondered for a moment before slowly shaking his head.

"That won't do. The three of you can only open it once. Furthermore, that man named Chu Ziling must wait until our three parties have finished two openings before he can open it once. This is my final bottom line. If you don't agree!"

With that, the Knight held his greatsword horizontally across his chest.

"Then let us fight!"

William had judged the relative strength of the groups present based on their brief exchange.

While William strictly adhered to the code of a Knight, he understood one thing even better: to realize his ideals and walk his own path, strength was the most critical factor.

When it came to a treasure and opportunity like Pandora's Box, even the most upright person would not back down!

The scene immediately fell into an eerie silence as everyone weighed the feasibility of the Knight's proposal.

Chu Ziling was the first to speak.

"I agree."

Chu Ziling's face was grim as he looked back and forth between the others, speaking with resentment.

He had no choice but to agree. In fact, given Chu Ziling's strength, if it weren't for his extreme speed, he would have been eliminated long ago!

At least the Knight's proposal allowed him to get some benefits.

Wen Yu remained silent. Seeing that Chu Ziling had agreed, he turned his gaze toward the Military Uniform Trio.

"Fine, we agree as well."

Sequence 29 and his companions had also given their answer.

A trio seemed powerful, but they had the weakness of being easily picked off one by one.

If they faced a pincer attack from any two of the other three parties present, the three of them would have absolutely no chance of survival.

"Whew."

Wen Yu let out a heavy sigh.

Now, if Wen Yu dared to say no, he would definitely be jointly kicked out by the other three parties.

He hadn't expected the situation to change so drastically just because of the appearance of a righteous powerhouse.

"Fine. Who goes first?"

…

A quiet thirty minutes slowly passed. When the countdown above Pandora's Box hit zero, no battle broke out!

Everyone present had agreed to the Knight's suggestion.

Since everyone stood to benefit, no one was willing to take the initiative to start a fight where the outcome was life or death. It wasn't rational, and more importantly, it wasn't worth it!

In the woods outside the clearing, the "Jackals" who were still holding out hope saw that the strongest among them had reached a peace agreement. Some immediately used Teleportation to leave the Treasure Land in disappointment.

However, others with special means still refused to give up.

"I'll go this time," William said, stepping forward and walking directly toward Pandora's Box.

Wen Yu, Chu Ziling, and the Military Uniform Trio slowly moved forward, effectively blocking all of William's escape routes!

This wasn't an attempt to start a fight; it was merely a precaution.

As the Treasure Box glowed, a potion appeared in William's hand.

William gave it a brief glance before stowing it in his Spatial Ring. He then left the box where it was and turned to walk toward a nearby empty space.

The four parties stood at four corners, tightly surrounding Pandora's Box.

"It's our turn next."

The three members of Sequence 29 gave the others a simple reminder. Seeing William and Wen Yu both nod, they let out a slight sigh of relief.

What they feared most was William-currently the strongest person on the surface-turning hostile for the sake of profit. Fortunately, William's character was reliable!

"By the way, if anyone feels like it's the last time Pandora's Box can be opened when it's their turn, they can use a Teleportation Jade to leave. The order will simply pass to the next person," Wen Yu reminded them.

But it was useless.

It was just like gambling; the treasures blinded their eyes. No one could see the crisis hidden behind the box-that unknown second Trial!

Wen Yu himself wouldn't choose to give up when his turn came, either.

This was the greed inherent in human nature; it was unchangeable.

The others nodded perfunctorily. It was clear that, given the current situation, triggering the second Trial was an absolute certainty.

When the next thirty minutes passed, Sequence 29 walked directly toward the box. Behind him, the Military Uniform Strongman pulled a Giant Sniper Rifle out of his Spatial Ring.

Meanwhile, Monkey took out two guns that looked like Hand Cannons from his own Spatial Ring.

Light flashed again. Sequence 29 took the item and walked straight back to his team.

Above Pandora's Box, blood-red characters clearly indicated: Times Opened: 4.

"The next round is mine."

Another thirty minutes passed, and Wen Yu walked directly toward Pandora's Box.

As the light faded, a golden card appeared in Wen Yu's hand.

After putting the card into his Spatial Ring, Wen Yu set the box down and slowly backed away until he reached a safe distance. Only then did he carefully examine his harvest.

As Wen Yu stared at the golden card, a notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Roger's Treasure discovered. Please select a treasure type!"
