Chapter 307: Activation Reward

Lin Yifan, of course, didn't want to take risks, but for some reason he always felt his sixth sense wouldn't be wrong.

However, Ruan Qingtan's worry was also unfounded; taking such unnecessary danger, why?

But at that moment, a middle‑aged man suddenly stepped out from the crowd; it was the Father of God, who had previously had a conflict with Lin Yifan.

He pushed his glasses with his hand and then said seriously:

"Big Brother Yifan, you don't need to take this risk. Among us, your strength is the strongest, and you act with great resolve. My initial goal of forming a guild and a team is also to let more people survive."

"But you do better than me; you have become the backbone of the entire District. If you die, it would be a loss for the whole District, so you absolutely cannot take the risk."

"But I can take the risk for you." Father of God adjusted his collar and said with a smile:

"My life was saved by Big Brother Yifan; now I've lived enough, so let me test it for Big Brother Yifan!"

Lin Yifan heard this and immediately frowned, saying:

"There's no need for that…"

However, Father of God gave Lin Yifan no chance to refuse, turned and walked to a Green Treasure Chest, and touched it with his hand.

Everyone subconsciously stepped back half a step, and some even couldn't bear it and closed their eyes.

However, the chest indeed made no movement!

Even the light emanating from the chest gradually faded.

Father of God had originally closed his eyes waiting to die, but after waiting with no sign he opened his eyes, his face full of surprise, saying:

"Apparently no danger appeared; it seems Big Brother Yifan was right."

Nevertheless, the crowd still didn't step forward; instead they pointed at the chest before him and said:

"Haven't you opened the chest yet? The person earlier opened the chest and then took out what's inside, crack!"

"Then I'll open one." Father of God turned his hand and opened the chest.

At this moment, everyone also saw that inside the chest was a large bag of compressed biscuits and some other supplies.

But basically all food; the only tool was a flashlight.

Father of God took the items out and, delighted, said:

"There's truly no danger! The items in this chest can be taken out."

Everyone stared eagerly at the scene, and upon seeing this they also breathed a sigh of relief, exclaiming with joy:

"The chest turned out not to be a trap, and a Green Treasure Chest contained so many supplies; that's enough to eat for a couple of months, right?"

"So many compressed biscuits, so much dry food, this is sheer happiness! No, I also want to open a chest."

"I advise you to take it easy! No matter how good the material is, life is more important. Although this guy got items out, the unlucky one before turned into a corpse; who knows if these chests are randomly trapped?"

"That makes sense, but not gambling feels unsatisfying; anyway, if I'm going to die, so be it! I have no food left; if the chest yields no food, I probably won't survive a few days. Since that's the case, might as well gamble!"

"Exactly, a man dies and the bird flies to the sky, immortal for ten thousand years; we've already become this dead state, what's there to fear!"

…

The crowd's commotion actually sparked a soaring heroic spirit!

Everyone stepped forward together, each choosing a Treasure Chest, then stood in front of their chest.

Perhaps because Father of God opened a Green Treasure Chest, most people also chose Green Treasure Chests, which were indeed the most numerous.

The others also chose the remaining chests, and after everyone had selected a chest, Lin Yifan suddenly noticed that the number of these chests matched exactly the number of surviving Survivors.

Ruan Qingtan, who was behind Lin Yifan, saw this and immediately frowned:

"Why are there only two Red Treasure Chests left? Knowing the earlier accident involved a Red Treasure Chest, yet they still left such a dangerous chest for us; that's too much!"

At this moment Lin Yifan indeed had another suspicion.

The number of Treasure Chests matched the number of Survivors, so perhaps these chests really are rewards.

He told Ruan Qingtan his speculation, then said:

"But this is only my guess; whether it's a reward or a trap is still unknown, so you shouldn't take the risk, I'll go test it."

"If anyone should test, it should be me…" Ruan Qingtan instinctively wanted to go first.

But Lin Yifan grabbed them back in one hand, saying irritably:

"Enough, stop messing around, I actually dared to take the risk, so I naturally have self‑protection ability; you all scrambling forward is unnecessary."

"Stay put honestly here, I'll open a Red Treasure Chest to confirm there's no danger, then everyone can open their chests."

After speaking, he carefully approached the properly colored Red Treasure Chest, while in his other hand he drew the Dawn Sword, ready to strike at any moment.

When he reached out to touch the lid, the anticipated attack likewise did not occur.

Inside the chest lay a silver ring, set with a crystal‑clear gem, within which seemed to swirl starlight.

【Obtained "Starry Ring" (Legendary)】

【Effect 1: Can store three powerful skills, release at any time】

Just two simple words!

Yet it made Lin Yifan's heart tremble!

Don't think this thing lacks special attributes; it only has the effect of storing three powerful skills.

But this is the most precious!

Three powerful skills, in a sense, can be comparable to three lives!

Especially the recovery skill, that's truly three lives!

Having such an item in hand, when danger arises in the future, the chance of escape can increase severalfold.

Since Lin Yifan arrived in this world, the crises he has faced are countless; having such an amulet is just perfectly fitting.

At that moment, a pillar of light rose in the center of the ruins, and a line of text appeared within the pillar:

【Final trial completed, congratulations to everyone for withstanding the last psychological test, now please claim your rewards!】

【Reward this time: each person may choose one Treasure Chest, selecting the chest level according to points earned (the person with the highest level must open their chest to trigger the Instance reward)】

【Note: After selection you will be sent back to the Initial Domain】

The crowd only then realized that this was the true reward mechanism.

Only the first‑place winner who received the reward can activate the remaining rewards!

In other words, those who acted rashly before triggered the trap out of greed, and only the cautious can obtain the true payoff.
