Quadruple split.

Chapter 2607 The Millstone-Powered Cannibal
"all in all……"

After exchanging a glance with 'Clear Apple Fragrance' and receiving the signal that 'I'm just a businessman, I don't really understand these intricacies,' Jiuzhong realized that no one was willing to take on this troublesome task. He could only sigh and say helplessly, 'I roughly understand. Then, could you please have [Burning Flame] put forward a brief proposal for everyone to take a look at?'

The typist grinned and winked at her: "No problem, Lady."

Jiuchong smiled politely, then cleared her throat and said softly, "Well then, let's move on to the next topic, about the fourth secret realm..."

"Um, excuse me for interrupting."

Just then, Lusser suddenly raised his right hand and said with a rather subtle expression, "I have something I'd like to discuss with everyone."

"Eh?"

Jiuzhong was taken aback at first, then nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Brother Lu, you go first."

"Actually, when I killed that thing, I got a rather subtle little thing."

As he spoke, Luselle reached into his pouch and pulled out a palm-sized, amber-colored crystal that shimmered with a mesmerizing light. He placed it on the table and shrugged, saying, "Although I don't know exactly what it's for, this thing is clearly a rare item. So, in the spirit of fairness, impartiality, and transparency, I've decided to show it to everyone first."

Boss Sakaki sneered and asked, "So it's just 'showing us'?"

"It's 'let's show it to you first,' but as for the specifics of how to handle it, I think we still need to discuss it together."

Luselle glanced at his old friend and said indifferently, "But even if we're talking about merit, I think this thing is more likely to belong to us [Windbreaker Birds], after all, I personally took down that big monster."

"Ah."

Sakaki continued to sneer, saying in a similarly indifferent tone, "But your sorcerer just said that if it weren't for the help of the three of us from Tokiwa in conducting the crucial first round of probing, you wouldn't have been able to easily kill that lord."

Lusell nodded and added, "But I can take it down more easily."

"I see."

The typist clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "Is this what they call 'plastic besties'?"

"so--"

Most of the time she remained silent, but her influence was undeniable. Qingqing Apple Fragrance lowered her eyes to look at the crystal: "What exactly does Captain Luselle mean?"

Lucer casually pressed down on the crystal, then flicked his finger, sending it flying directly in front of Qingqing Apple Fragrance: "First of all, as I just said, I hope everyone will take a look at this thing, since I personally find it difficult to glean any useful information from the item description. And then... I think we should set a few general principles first."

Jiuchong nodded slightly and asked, "For example?"

"For example, this item is undoubtedly the common spoils of all those who participated in the secret realm raid. If it is not very valuable, that's fine, but if it is eventually identified as some kind of extremely precious or strategically useful item, the nature of the matter will be completely different."

Luselle crossed her arms and said calmly, "Just like what I was arguing with Sakaki about, if it's something truly priceless, everyone will want it. But then, the distribution method becomes an unavoidable issue. We've been competitors in the literal sense, and as for the more specifics... I probably don't need to elaborate, do I?"

Everyone nodded silently, clearly understanding what Lusser meant immediately.

Simply put, limited and precious rare resources will make everyone envious, leading them to make many... or to put it more politely, decisions that are 'detrimental to unity', and then, through a chain reaction, gradually cause this fragile franchise alliance to fall apart.

This is not an exaggeration. In fact, in many games in the past, alliances between players, professional players, and players with professional players have basically been destroyed by 'interests'. In the end, considering the impact of public opinion, professional players generally no longer ally with ordinary players (to play together). However, among professional players, it is basically nothing but intrigue and deception.

In a world where everyone is used to fighting each other, this kind of cooperation is extremely rare. After all, with a responsible attitude towards their work, even if professional players have a good relationship with each other, they will never stop them from stabbing each other in the back and doing dirty tricks when the opportunity arises.

Therefore, it must be said that the cooperation without any reservations during this period has brought almost all professional players an unprecedented new experience, allowing them to rediscover the pure joy of a group of people in a chaotic atmosphere when they first started playing the game.

However, before it has been tested, this relationship, though beautiful, is also extremely fragile, so fragile that even the slightest internal or external factor can cause the group to fall apart.

That is why, after much deliberation, Lusser made his recent "gain" public and put the issue on the table for everyone to discuss.

He could certainly take a gamble, considering the loot he obtained after defeating the Rock Lord as an 'unexpected bonus,' and betting that similar surprises wouldn't occur in the subsequent thirteen dungeons. However, this seasoned professional player, who had seen countless ups and downs, knew very well that such behavior was short-sighted and unacceptable.

Admittedly, if this were the only rare drop among all sixteen dungeons, [Windbreaker] would be making a sure profit. However, in Luselle's opinion, the probability was infinitely close to zero. He was certain that this gain was an important part of the game's 'high risk, high reward' style.

After all, as long as you're alive, the [Boundless Realm] is never stingy with rewards.

So, assuming that others also have a high probability of receiving similar rewards, Luselle can probably predict two possible plot developments—

Firstly, if the later arrivals did not conceal it, then assuming everyone obtains similar items, it would be difficult to hide the fact that [Windbreaker Bird] obtained the same rare drop, and naturally, [Windbreaker Bird] would lose credibility.

Secondly, if newcomers also conceal the truth, then with everyone harboring ulterior motives, this alliance will most likely repeat the mistakes of past games, eventually falling apart and returning to a situation where no one trusts anyone.

So, after less than three seconds of deep thought, Lucel, who believed that neither outcome was in the best interest of the Windbreaker Bird, chose to confess and reveal the rare loot he had just acquired.

"I dug this thing out of the skull of that rock lord. If I remember correctly, the corpses of the two previous lords were not respawned, but were placed in the strongholds of the core areas of the Purgatory Volcano and the Heart-Eating Venom secret realm respectively. Perhaps I can try to dissect them later."

Luselle smiled at everyone, then crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair with his arm as a pillow: "So the core issue now is how we should deal with this 'spoils of war'."

Jiuchong, who had been used as a meeting moderator for some time now, frowned slightly: "Hmm... this is indeed a problem. Does anyone have any thoughts?"

Evil Valley Medicine Seller grinned and offered a very old-fashioned suggestion: "How about we roll a few rounds?"

The young, up-and-coming professional player, Feng Hua Xue Yue, who accompanied Lao Wang to the meeting, was stunned for a moment and asked in bewilderment, "What is Roll Points?"

"In early keyboard and mouse games, if you typed the command slash + Roll, it would automatically generate a number from 1 to 100."

Old Wang glanced at the guy next to him who had almost no experience with MOORPGs and had joined a professional team as soon as he entered the scene, completely unfamiliar with similar features like "Roll of Fortune" (a popular MOORPG). He explained quickly, "So in many temporary teams, Rolling points is a popular way to distribute loot. Although most of the time the player with the higher score wins, there are occasional special rules, such as whoever is closer to 50 wins, or one point can wipe out the entire team." "Oh...oh!"

Feng Hua Xue Yue looked like she suddenly understood, then hesitated and asked, "Eh!? So this method is really okay?"

"It's a big problem."

Sitting next to Feng Hua Xue Yue, Han Mei twitched the corners of her mouth and said in a dry voice, "Old Yao must be joking. If not, then I've pretty much figured out the specific reasons for his retirement."

The pharmacist said, "Ah, this..."

"Well, I'll just say a few words."

The typing warrior, who had been particularly enthusiastic in speaking today, raised his right hand and said expressionlessly, "Considering that everyone is a person who cares about their reputation, I'll just add a simple point here. No matter how we distribute the loot internally, since the system hasn't issued any announcements and those casual players are almost certainly not capable of being the main force in killing the boss, there's absolutely no need for them to know about the existence of this rare drop."

"Uh."

Seeing that the typing warrior had unhesitatingly brought up this topic that everyone had been deliberately avoiding, Jiuzhong said somewhat awkwardly, "Isn't this a bit..."

"It's almost too perfect."

Typing Warrior interrupted Jiuzhong and casually said, "Those casual players are the worst. They want to take advantage of others while expecting you studios and clubs to pay the lion's share. They do little and cause a lot of trouble. Think about it carefully. If it weren't for their sake, how many more contribution points would each of you get?"

"Isn't what you're saying a bit too much...?"

"Too extreme? No, no, no, I say this because we in [Burning Fire] define ourselves as solo players, so I'm just expressing my thoughts."

"..."

After staring helplessly at the Typing Warrior for two seconds, Jiuzhong nodded resignedly and said helplessly, "Fine, then it's my fault for being the bad guy and coming up with this idea, so that we can all take advantage of this without feeling guilty."

"piece of cake."

The typist grinned and said jokingly, "It's just a matter of using your mouth."

My suggestion is—

Just then, Qingqing Apple, who had been carefully observing the crystallized piece for a long time, slowly raised her head and said softly, "If Captain Luselle trusts [Green Apple], you can temporarily hand this over to us for investigation. If everything goes smoothly, we can better discuss a distribution plan based on its use and value."

"agree."

Luselle nodded without hesitation and said readily, "Then I'll trouble Miss Apple."

……

"You guys don't actually think that this kind of thing can be solved with just a simple 'thank you', do you?"

Meanwhile, in Dabus's private room in the public space, a handsome man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a meticulously styled hairstyle, tall and dashing, dressed in a casual suit, looked at the two people in front of him with a serious expression and said, word by word, "We have already witnessed Anthony's abilities. Now, you actually allow the school to accept more than forty young and middle-aged NPC cannibals who have empty heads and don't even understand basic literacy or common sense?"

"Let me finish what I have to say, you surnamed Tian."

Not at all like a cannibal in public, although shorter than Teacher Tian, ​​not as handsome, and even slightly overshadowed in terms of demeanor, Dabus, still a man of considerable talent, glared at him with annoyance: "I know this sounds a bit outrageous, and Principal Qian is in a difficult position too..."

"Let me be clear: Principal Qian will never grant you this absurd request."

Tianxingdao coldly interrupted Dabus, saying in a deep voice, "I know you're naive, Jarvis, but I didn't know you could be this naive."

Sitting next to Dabus, Mo Tan coughed lightly and interjected, "Well, Teacher Tian, ​​we actually—"

“Your actions deserve recognition, Brother Mo. I also believe that everyone has the right to education, but the world is not so reasonable in most cases.”

Tianxingdao calmly turned to Motan and said softly, "How about this, I still have some savings here. Although it's not much, I still have about 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins. You can take a look in the next couple of days and see if you can find a place near Anka Market with relatively cheap rent to set up a tutoring center."

Mo Tan/Dabus: "...Huh?"

"My schedule is quite tight. Even if I coordinate with other teachers, I can only come here to teach for a maximum of two days a week."

Tianxingdao pinched his brow and frowned, saying, "However, the distance between Academy City and Anka is not far. In that case, as long as I buy two more sets of flight accident insurance, the cost of flying with Boulder Airlines can be controlled within 100 gold coins each time. If I move some tutoring classes to after midnight in the game, I might be able to take care of both sides if I make a round trip in one day. In that case, it would take three days."

Mo Tan: "Well, actually..."

"You guys help me find a place. The rent doesn't have to be too expensive. I can also figure out a way to feed them. Those cannibals probably have a big appetite. I plan to get some food from Isaac's cafeteria. If we take advantage of the teacher discount, it won't cost too much."

Tian Xingdao adjusted his glasses and nodded to Mo Tan, saying, "At that time, Dabus and I will try to take turns teaching three days a week, plus one day off, to see if we can lay a reasonably good foundation for them within a semester, and then..."

"Teacher Tian!"

"Ok?"

"Could a sponsorship of 400,000 gold coins from Principal Qian solve the problem of food, clothing, and lodging for 40 ogres at Isaac Comprehensive Academy?"

"Seize the young master?"
