The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

"I only want that treasure chest, is that okay?" Lin Yuan put the treasure chest into his backpack and then asked.

This has drawn dissatisfaction from some people.

Didn't we agree to split the proceeds from the auction? What's the point of you just taking it all?

After all, not everyone is so oblivious. Sister Tang smiled and said, "You almost single-handedly took down this BOSS. Your contribution is the greatest, so you have the right to choose a loot first."

These words were meant for others rather than Lin Yuan.

—Don't be confused, this guy almost single-handedly defeated a bronze-level boss, so if he wants to single-handedly defeat us...wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

but!

There will always be fools who will still say, "So what if the credit is great? It's already been agreed upon, so it should be distributed according to the established rules!"

His name is Chang Sheng.

Losing even one bronze treasure chest means losing a third of your income!

The BOSS dropped three loot items in total: two were equipment items, and the last one was a bronze treasure chest. The bronze treasure chest has a high probability of containing bronze equipment, which is worth 20!

How dare you just open your mouth and take away 20?

"That's right, it's an auction, so let's follow the rules."

"Yes, follow the rules!"

Two more people joined the "denunciation" team. These two were Ding Ji and Xu Yan, who were with Chang Sheng. While they were talking, they were also encouraging others, obviously trying to use their numbers to force Lin Yuan to give in.

If you want the bronze treasure chest, you can have it auctioned off first. You can pay whatever price is offered at the auction.

and!

The three looked at each other and all gave a cold smile.

They knew Lin Yuan wanted the treasure chest, so they would keep bidding up the price, forcing Lin Yuan to buy it at a price far exceeding the normal rate.

An auction is an auction where the highest bidder wins. Can you stop me from bidding?

The only thing to be careful about is not to overdo it and end up with something that's going to rot in your hands.

Lin Yuan glanced at the three men; he only needed to look at their expressions to know what they were planning.

Good grief, they've managed to take advantage of me!

You guys are really blinded by greed. "Sister Tang" already reminded you that I can take down the BOSS by myself, and of course I can also kill you all by myself!

This is in a game!

Suddenly, everyone looked toward the entrance of the valley, where a large group of people, numbering two or three hundred, were running quickly toward them.

"How dare they steal our BOSS!" The leader was a man in his thirties. He glanced at the two pieces of loot on the ground and could guess what had happened.

"What? Your name is on the boss?" someone immediately retorted. "In a game, whoever takes down the boss first owns it! So, we found it first, and we were the ones who took it down. What does it have to do with you?"

"Bullshit!" the man in his thirties sneered. "The BOSS here originally belonged to the Liu family, but now that the Liu family has been defeated by our Aoshi Guild, they've slunk away. This BOSS naturally belongs to us!"

"Otherwise, how could there be no one guarding the BOSS?"

His name is Xu Jia, and he is a minor leader in the Aoshi Guild.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan and his group all silently exclaimed "Oh!"

No wonder!

That makes sense, since every wild boss should be occupied by various factions, so how could there be any truly "wild" ones?

What else?

These people are actually from the Aoshi Guild!

The veteran forces, arguably the earliest to enter SuperStar, what level are the veteran players at now?

However, since the Aoshi Guild is composed of many players, its cohesion is naturally inferior to that of powerful clans that are based on families. Over the years, many veterans have left the Aoshi Guild, which has greatly reduced the guild's strength. But with the advantage of being the "oldest", even if the Aoshi Guild cannot enter the first tier in the country, it is definitely not a problem for it to be ranked in the second tier.

To be an enemy of such a terrifying force?

They're tired of living, aren't they?

Immediately, many people showed fear, and even those who did not show fear couldn't help but frown.

This is troublesome!

"Hmph, first, leave all the spoils behind." Xu Jia's gaze swept over the crowd. "Second, you killed the BOSS, and of course you took the experience points. You must compensate us. You all need to come up with 10 star coins, and I'll let you go. Otherwise... I'll kill you all!"

Yes, kill them if they disobey!

So domineering.

Because they are the Aoshi Guild, they have the qualifications.

Tang Jie and the others looked at each other, all showing resentment.

Oh, they finally managed to defeat the BOSS, hoping to make a fortune from the loot dropped by the BOSS, but they didn't get a single penny and even had to pay others!

"He's the one who fought all the bosses, he gets the lion's share of the experience points, and he even got a bronze treasure chest. If anyone has to pay compensation, it's him!" Chang Sheng immediately pointed at Lin Yuan and shouted.

"That's right, we didn't get anything, why should we pay?" Ding Ji quickly echoed.

"That's right, that's right." Xu Yan nodded quickly.

Seeing this, everyone else remained silent.

Yeah, why should they pay for it?

Also, although the people who attacked the BOSS earlier also gained some experience, they split the remaining 50% of the BOSS's experience equally. How much did each person get?

They absolutely will not pay that money!

There is only one exception.

Tang Jie forced a smile and said, "Brothers of Aoshi, my name is Qiu Haitang. I used to be a member of Aoshi. Please forgive me this time, considering we were in the same guild before."

"Oh, you're Qiu Haitang?" Xu Jia clicked his tongue, looking her up and down. His gaze swept over her impressive chest, and he couldn't help but drool. He leered, "I heard your captain wanted to sleep with you, and not only did you refuse, you even beat him up?"

"Wow, that's incredible!" The rest of the group from Aoshi were incredibly curious. "How come we've never heard of it?"

"This is an embarrassing matter, so naturally I won't publicize it. I only heard it from a senior after he had a few drinks," Xu Jia said casually, then turned to Qiu Haitang and said, "You've already left the guild, why should I give you face? But, hehe, since you're a beauty, how about this: you spend the night with me, and I'll allow you to get a share!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Shi and his group also began to lewdly laugh.

"Begonia, did you hear what Jia-ge said?"

"Hurry up and agree, don't be ungrateful!"

"You won't get a second chance!"

Qiu Haitang's face darkened, revealing her anger. She clenched her fists tightly, but did not lash out, instead forcibly suppressing her anger.

Although her level is not low and her equipment is decent, her talents and skills are biased towards healing. If things turn sour... she definitely won't stand a chance.

Therefore, she had to endure it.

But Lin Yuan didn't have that much patience.

He still needs to get a gold rating.

So, without any hesitation, he picked up the two bronze pieces of equipment and threw them into his backpack.

"Holy crap!"

Upon seeing this, the members of the Aoshi Guild all started cursing.
