Chapter 197

Subsequently, his expression became serious.

He stared at Su Ming, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and said.

"I saved you... not for anything else."

"I had a few friends who died at the hands of that elite dual-sword skeleton; you could say you helped me take revenge."

"And..."

Speaking of this, Yu Mian paused.

"It was I who lured this group of people over, just wanting them to kill the elite skeleton."

"I put you in the middle of the disaster; I can be considered to have a great responsibility."

Hearing this, Su Ming's eyes showed slight shock.

This guy is really smart.

He had previously specifically said on the world channel that there was a treasure chest here, but it was guarded by an elite monster, telling people not to come over.

In reality, he was just using people's contrarian psychology.

If he had said there were no monsters here, only a treasure chest, people would have thought there was a trap and wouldn't have dared to come.

He really had a firm grasp on human nature.

"By the way... I could also look for an opportunity to see if I could sit back and reap the benefits, seizing the treasure chest."

A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The so-called mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

This Yu Mian was the oriole.

This plan could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Su Ming looked at him, feeling a sense of wariness in his heart.

This Yu Mian had no elf temperament at all.

Instead, he was just like an ordinary decadent man.

He must have gone through some story.

"I saw earlier that you have a treasure map."

"You have the highest pickup priority."

"So I knew that as long as I could save you, you would be able to bring the treasure chest over together..."

Yu Mian said with his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he were a person of deep calculation.

Su Ming's expression was calm, and he made a prompt decision.

He took the mid-tier diamond treasure chest directly out of his personal space.

Saving his own life was indeed no problem.

But without Yu Mian, he wouldn't have been able to get this treasure chest.

Therefore, he deserved a share.

The heavy treasure chest landed on the ground.

The crystal-clear treasure chest was inlaid with various diamonds.

Su Ming's actions were very crisp, without any hesitation or delay.

Repaying grievances with grievances and kindness with kindness—this was Su Ming's nature.

"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get this treasure chest."

"So, you can pick one treasure to take away later."

Su Ming said in a deep voice.

"Hmm... you are not as shameless as other humans."

Yu Mian said with a plain expression, appearing calm on the surface.

But in reality, watching Su Ming's actions, he was also sweating in his heart.

Because the moment he mentioned the treasure chest, Su Ming suddenly raised his hand.

It was hard not to mistake it for Su Ming wanting to kill him and keep the treasure chest for himself.

Fortunately, this swordsman player named Slaughter Su Ming was not that evil.

He hadn't misjudged him.

After all, Yu Mian had also seen earlier how Su Ming killed the skeleton swordsman alone, as well as his performance fighting hard while surrounded by that group of people.

That posture was truly outstanding.

So he didn't dare to underestimate Su Ming's strength and had been on guard the whole time.

He was a mage, and melee combat was his weakness; once Su Ming launched a surprise attack from this distance, he would be at a great disadvantage.

"Human?"

"Haha, hearing you say that, Brother Yu, it's as if you aren't human yourself."

Su Ming joked; although he knew Yu Mian's true race, he didn't expose it.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Yu Mian just smiled it off.

Subsequently, Su Ming's expression became serious.

"No matter how many things are opened in the treasure chest, you can only take one."

"After all... I put in the lion's share of the effort."

He said slowly with a solemn expression.

In his past life, he had been open-hearted to others, only to be betrayed.

So in this life, he naturally had to put his own interests first.

Hearing this, Yu Mian nodded.

It was actually fair enough.

After all, Su Ming had given him the power of priority selection.

This was actually more precious than other treasures.

A diamond treasure chest might only open one diamond treasure, and the others might be platinum grade.

The difference in value between platinum and diamond is like heaven and earth.

Being able to choose first meant he would definitely be able to take away the most valuable treasure.

"Okay, open the chest."

He said.

Su Ming opened the treasure chest directly.

【Opening diamond treasure chest!】

【Melt-Cold Alloy (mid-tier diamond forging material)】

【Dragon-Slaying Art · Skill Scroll (lower-tier diamond sword skill)】

【Vampire Potion (top-tier platinum)】

A total of three items!

Looking at these items, Yu Mian frowned.

There wasn't a single item for a mage!

The drop rate of items depends on each person's luck value.

Because Su Ming's luck attribute was too high.

So basically, the things that dropped were all things Su Ming could use.

Su Ming stared at him quietly, waiting for his choice.

He thought this person would choose the Melt-Cold Alloy.

This was a mid-tier diamond forging material.

Weapons forged with it would at least be of diamond quality.

Even reaching the epic grade was not impossible.

"Tsk..."

"There's nothing I can use."

Yu Mian frowned.

He was silent for a moment, then finally took a step back.
