Chapter 695

"Sir, please."

"There's only one left, right!"

Lin Ye had already seen through it; a look with his clairvoyance skill, and he saw the situation inside.

"We only prepared twenty-three; as the guest who got first in the second event, I believe you will definitely have good luck."

"Yes, I also believe I will definitely have good luck."

Lin Ye smiled.

He reached in and fumbled around, and soon a slip of paper was drawn out.

Soon, the slip was opened, the host watched, and the next moment, he froze; the mask he was wearing seemed unable to hide his astonishment.

【Red, plant, quantity 10】

This...

They hadn't put this slip in at all!

Because this requirement was too simple, simple to the point that you could find it just by walking around casually.

The ingredient requirement they prepared for Lin Ye wasn't this one.

"My luck seems to be really good. If the quantity was just one, it would be even simpler, but 10 is not a big problem either."

Facing the increasingly bright smile on Lin Ye's face, the masked host's face became even uglier. He realized one point: Lin Ye, this guy, had guessed from the beginning that they would tamper with the lottery box to target him, and he had been prepared long ago, secretly swapping it.

However,

when did he do it?

There was absolutely no discovery at all.

In this instant,

the masked host broke out in a cold sweat, only feeling that Lin Ye was increasingly terrifying.

But as things stood, he had no room to retreat.

"Sir, good luck."

The host, the masked man, smiled, but his words were filled with angry emotions.

The trap he designed didn't succeed; how could he possibly be happy!

"Of course, I was favored by the Goddess of Luck this time."

Lin Ye left.

The relevant staff of the organizers recorded the requirements for the ingredients Lin Ye needed to retrieve.

And the masked man reached into his pocket; soon, he found the slip of paper that should have been prepared for Lin Ye in the pocket where he placed the other requirement slips.

"Did I remember wrong and put it in the wrong place?"

"Or is it that guy's doing?"

The former could only sigh at his own bad luck, and if it were the latter, he would have to take Lin Ye even more seriously.

Half a minute later,

the host, the masked man, faced the players who were casting their gazes over one after another. He once again raised a powerful aura, scanned the area, and continued to speak. "Everyone has now received the ingredient requirements for their own groups."

"For the next three hours, guests must find the ingredients you need to find within this area, return within the stipulated time, and submit the relevant ingredients; that is completing the task."

"I offer my heartfelt blessings to all guests here, hoping that all guests can find them."

"So, the third event, 'Hunting', officially begins."

He clapped his hands, and a crisp sound rang out and echoed.

The third event began.

A few players closest to the forest area stepped forward and wanted to run.

But a voice stopped everyone, attracting everyone's attention.

"Wait, I have something to say."

It was Lin Ye.

And only Lin Ye's words could get the attention of all players immediately.

This was something other old players hadn't done until now.

First place in the first two events, and helping many players pass 'The Glutton' in the first event—this favor had to make them pay attention to Lin Ye.

The gazes of dozens of people converged on Lin Ye, and Lin Ye at this time looked up at the host, the masked man, who intended to leave but hadn't left.

"Mr. Host, I have a question."

"What question?"

"Is that forest area safe?"

A single sentence immediately made the new players who were just about to rush in stop, and they even took several steps back, with expressions of lingering fear.

Other players reacted one after another.

Is it safe?

Who knows if it's safe or not.

Why hadn't they thought of this point?

"Does Mr. Host not know how to answer?"

Lin Ye maintained politeness and continued to pursue the question.

"There are no traps set by us in the forest; please rest assured, guests."

He continued, "The resources in the forest are limited. If you are preempted by other players, please do not cause conflict. It is suggested that players set off as early as possible."

Lin Ye spoke again. "No traps?"

"Yes."

"Understood, no man-made traps."

A sentence with deep meaning; by now, players with some comprehension ability knew what would happen.

This area is not safe; there is purely wild danger.

The simplest is wild beasts.

For an ordinary person to duel a wild beast, one-on-one, they really might not be able to win.

Very dangerous.

Extremely dangerous.

"I suggest here that we can take the groups where old players are located as the core to expand the search and find the ingredients needed. In this round, our groups will no longer be in a competitive relationship, but a cooperative one."

Facing Lin Ye's suggestion, many players were tempted.

But the problem was whether the old players could accept it.

After all, having to cooperate with other groups of pure newcomers would greatly reduce the efficiency of the search.

Several old players were deep in thought, considering whether to accept.

Not accepting is equivalent to pushing themselves to the opposite side of Lin Ye and many newcomer groups, and the environment for the subsequent event competitions would be relatively difficult.

And accepting would affect the search efficiency, and it was also possible that they would need to exert effort when accidents occurred.

A few seconds later,

someone gave the answer.

"I can accept it, but at most two groups."

Some old players accepted it.

Subsequently, several old players made the decision, all accepting.

Under the general environment, several players who didn't really want to accept could only choose to accept.

If they refused, it was very likely they would be isolated, although these few old players felt that as long as their own strength was strong enough, being targeted was not a matter at all.

However,

if possible, they still had to avoid this situation as much as possible.

"If any player finds ingredients that do not belong to what you need to find, it is suggested not to take them all."

On one hand, it is to prevent someone from deliberately reducing competitors in this way, and on the other hand, it is also possible to exchange the found ingredients with each other at the finish line upon returning,

so as to facilitate satisfying the ingredients needed by each group.

Many players also expressed their agreement.

Afterward, Lin Ye also solemnly declared,

that in this joint action, old players only provide a certain degree of protection and response to crises; if it involves work such as capturing and collecting target prey, it needs to be completed by the player themselves.

Lin Ye knew that with so many people, it was inevitable that a few people with poor character who liked moral kidnapping would mix in. ===== CHAPTER 696 =====
