Chapter 1157: The Chance It

"It shouldn't be fake, right?"

Regardless of the style and the sealing conditions.

It appears to fully conform to the process and is very formal.

"Why would something so important be so plainly placed in a storage cabinet that's ordinary to the point of being unremarkable?" the man retorted.

"Also, why does he have to be so afraid that others won't know this is Royal Jelly and put a notice label on it?"

"Even if he wanted to deliberately conceal it using Reverse Thinking, there shouldn't be any hint at all."

"Think for yourself—does what I'm saying make sense?"

A Bin, after hearing it, felt it was very logical.

But he still trusted his sixth sense.

"How about this: first call the big guy over to take a look."

"Anyway, we have no other Luoshi right now; even if it's fake, we at least eliminate one option, right?" A Bin suggested.

"Fine… then." the man nodded helplessly.

He then took the Hand Ring and notified them one by one.

In no time, the five gathered together.

Hedgehog, looking at the exquisitely packaged, high‑tech box, showed a thoughtful expression.

"Where did it come from?" he asked.

"It was here from the start; we haven't touched it," A Bin said.

"What about this paper?" Hedgehog continued.

"It was also there from the beginning."

Hmm…

Indeed, such a thing suddenly popped up.

It was somewhat to his liking.

As if it were prepared for them from birth.

Ingeniously perfect.

What the party seeks is the bee queen.

But in reality they want Royal Jelly.

Exactly how to make the bee queen spit out Royal Jelly is still unknown.

Hedgehog at one point was mentally prepared to explore.

But unexpectedly, now a thing that skips the entire process and goes straight to the end has appeared.

How can one keep everyone from getting excited?

Just drinking this thing lets you achieve Clearance and leave.

Simple, quick, efficient.

And it has no Side Effect.

Simply perfect!

At this moment, everyone present couldn't help but be moved.

They all lowered their heads, eyes meeting.

"Uncle, what do you think?" A Bin asked.

"The possibility of it being a Trap is high, but it's unlikely to be a Trap," Hedgehog analyzed.

Ah?

"What does this wheel‑rim talk mean?"

A Bin, with a big question mark hovering over his head, said: "Uncle, then do you think we should continue searching for the bee queen, or just open this box directly?"

Hedgehog stared intently, unable to resist sticking out his tongue to lick his lips.

"You've been looking for the bee queen for so long with no result; I think it's highly likely that Su Yang and others have already moved it away."

"With our strength, trying to confront him head‑on is pure fantasy."

"So my suggestion is to open the box and take out the Royal Jelly inside."

This…

Everyone glanced at each other, seeing a speechless look in each other's eyes.

Su Yang is fighting people up there; how could he have time to relocate the bee queen?

Moreover, the big guy came in at this time precisely to create a time gap.

"But if…" A Bin was about to weigh the pros and cons when Hedgehog cut him off,

"There's no such thing as 'what if' here; do you think Su Yang is some Divine Computing Element?"

"How could he possibly be all‑knowing? Don't think of him as too Divine."

"By scaring yourself now, you're disrupting morale!"

"I warn you, if you keep delaying, Su Yang will arrive soon."

At those words, everyone immediately showed a solemn expression.

Indeed, if Su Yang arrives in time, none of them can escape.

Rather than keep wasting time, better to gamble everything!

Having considered this, A Bin gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, then we'll follow your suggestion, Uncle."

Hedgehog, hearing that, nodded satisfactorily, then stepped a little closer, scanning up and down.

The box before them looked like some kind of mechanical toy.

It requires a certain logic to unlock.

It is very similar to the puzzle toys on the market.

"This little thing wants to stump me?" Hedgehog sneered, then immediately began deciphering.

The cube has many protrusions, sharing a similar cleverness with the Cube-like Device.

One only needs to press down all the protrusions so that the cube becomes whole.

Having a clue, Hedgehog began to turn.

He moved at lightning speed; within a few seconds, the large-headed cube kept changing shape before his eyes.

"So strong!" A Bin showed a startled expression.

He didn't expect the elderly uncle to still have such skill.

Sure enough, old age only makes him stronger!

The reputation is well deserved!

"Looks like it's about to be solved!" someone clenched their fist, eyes full of tension.

"Tap!"

Accompanied by a light sound, the cube finally settled into completeness.

Immediately after, a key-shaped switch protruded from the top.

On it were boldly sealed several large characters—

"Never pull it out!"

"Again with this trick?" Hedgehog sneered repeatedly.

He doesn't buy this trick at all.

All the warnings, to him, only make the cover more obvious.

They're merely trying to prevent outsiders from obtaining the Royal Jelly inside.

Such petty tricks never get through his eyes.

Just as he raised his hand to pull out the key, A Bin beside him suddenly spoke to stop him,

"Uncle, wait, I have an ominous premonition!"

Hedgehog furrowed his brow, "Stop the alarmist talk; we're only one step away from successful clearance."

"Now you want me to stop just because of an ominous premonition?"

"If any of the brothers encounter misfortune, can you take responsibility?"

Every word was like a pearl; A Bin had no room to retort.

He could only open his mouth, but not utter a single word.

Finally, with a helpless sigh, he silently retreated to the back.

"Hmph!"

Hedgehog's eyes were full of futility, and he turned, gripping the key with one hand.

"Success or failure depends on today."

"Don't disappoint me!"

Saying that, he suddenly pulled the key out.

"Beep beep beep!"

"Click!"

Suddenly, the box abruptly opened.

The sudden change startled Hedgehog.

He prepared to dodge but found nothing happened.

He let out a long sigh, a smile appearing on his face, "See, I told you there couldn't be any problem."

Just as his big hand reached for the jar containing the Royal Jelly, a sudden anomaly erupted!

"Whoosh—"

From the center of the box, a red laser burst forth, instantly piercing a person's forehead.

"Thud!"

The corpse crashed to the ground.

The unannounced assault caught them completely off guard.

"What?" Hedgehog's eyes widened, expression rigid.

But that wasn't the end; the cube suddenly transformed into a laser gun, hundreds of lasers firing wildly.

"Watch out!" A Bin suddenly knocked Hedgehog to the ground.

The lasers passed through both of their backs, striking the wall directly.

But the others weren't so lucky.

They were sequentially swept by the lasers, their bodies cut into countless pieces.

"It's over..." Hedgehog's pupils suddenly contracted.

It turned out this really was a trap!

Damn the key, it really didn't warn incorrectly.

Indeed, it shouldn't be pulled out!

"A Bin, think of a solution quickly!" Hedgehog shouted.

Solution?

What solution could I have?

A Bin was about to unleash a tirade at the stupid pig when his gaze suddenly fixed on the key.

A flash of inspiration struck, and he hurriedly said, "The key has opened the energy."

"If we insert it back, it should definitely shut down the mechanism!"

"Really?" Hedgehog replied uncertainly.

"Treat a dead horse as a living one, otherwise the two of us will both die here!" A Bin urged.

Hedgehog lowered his head, glanced at the key, and gritted his teeth to decide.

He was seen, risking being shot dead by the Laser, to thrust the key back in.

"Beep beep beep!"

Suddenly, the Laser abruptly ceased.

Seeing this, the two of them both exhaled in relief.

"Good thing you were right." Hedgehog said, still shaken.

"I said it couldn't be opened, but you wouldn't listen." A Bin said, panting heavily.

Just as he finished speaking, he noticed the cubic box continuously turning red.

"Hm?"

Focusing his eyes, he saw that the back of the key also bore a line of Seal Mark—

"It's okay if it's pulled out, just don't insert it back, okay~"

"What?" A Bin thought darkly, sensing trouble.

Immediately after, the cubic box suddenly erupted with dazzling white light.

Boom—!
