Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

As for Yan Liang—

He was clearly frightened by the traps he had just encountered.

Even though they saw that there were still Rockbells in the box, they didn't dare to go over right away.

Mo Fan reached in and took out the Locke's Coins one by one.

Five.

Ten.

Twenty pieces...

After all the items were counted, the total number was exactly thirty.

"Thirty Locke's Bays."

Mo Fan placed the Lockebes on the ground and divided them into three equal portions.

Each portion contains ten pieces.

He glanced at the divided Lockleave in front of him.

"What a coincidence, it makes the profit split much easier."

After saying that, Mo Fan picked up one of the copies and put it in his backpack, then handed the other two copies to Zhuang Xiao and Yan Liang respectively.

Zhuang Xiao didn't hesitate and reached out to take it.

"Thank you, Captain."

After all, this was a distribution plan that the three of them had just discussed.

Whatever is obtained, it shall be distributed equally.

Thirty Rock Bays, exactly ten for each person, there is no dispute.

However, when it was Yan Liang's turn, he hesitated to reach out.

His expression kept changing as he looked at the ten Locke coins that Mo Fan handed him.

According to the previously agreed-upon rules, the money was divided equally among the three people, which was indeed not a problem.

But the more Yan Liang thought about it, the more something seemed off.

He opened the treasure chest.

He was the one who took the blows from the mechanical boxing gloves.

He was infected with poisonous miasma.

For a long period of time afterward, all his pets' maximum health will be reduced by 10%.

It can be said that he bore all the risks and losses alone.

But the rewards in the treasure chest still had to be divided equally among the three people?

Wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss?

Yan Liang originally thought that—

If there really is something good in the treasure chest, he can easily use the excuse of "opening the treasure chest himself" to get a larger share.

After all, the rewards inside the treasure chest may not be able to be divided into exactly three parts.

If there's only one item, or only one pet egg, who gets it in the end still needs to be discussed.

Once he has control over the goods, he naturally gains greater influence.

But who would have thought that the treasure chest contained exactly thirty Locke's Dollars?

The quantity is just right, not too much and not too little, enough to be divided into three equal parts.

To make matters worse, not only did he fail to collect more items, but he also took a punch for nothing and was afflicted with a negative status effect that would last until he left the secret realm.

No matter how you look at it, he's the one who's at a disadvantage.

Yan Liang's lips moved slightly.

He really wanted to say that since he took the risk of opening the treasure chest, he should get a bigger share.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them back.

Because the rule of "equal distribution" was proposed by him.

Not long ago, he acted all generous and magnanimous, saying that everyone was on the same team and there was no need to worry about who contributed more or less.

He also said that if every time something is obtained, there is an argument about who discovered it first or who put in more effort, it would be too discordant.

How much time has passed?

If he immediately changes his tune when he's at a disadvantage, wouldn't that be contradicting himself?

Moreover, both Mo Fan and Zhuang Xiao were watching him.

Yan Liang was now in a difficult situation.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally reached out and took the ten Locke's Barons, giving a slight smirk as if he were hinting at something.

"They've made pretty clear distinctions."

"Of course," Mo Fan said.

Yan Liang choked for a moment.

That makes sense.

But to his ears, it sounded unpleasant no matter how he listened.

Zhuang Xiao lowered her head, suppressing the corners of her mouth.

Then, Mo Fan turned around and prepared to continue exploring.

Seeing this, Yan Liang quickly spoke up:

"and many more."

He pointed to the gray-green icon on his panel, his tone revealing obvious dissatisfaction and anxiety.

"What should I do about this negative state I'm in?"

"I can't keep exploring with this thing on my head, can I?"

Mo Fan stopped and looked back at him.

"The status description is already very clear."

"Continue until you leave the current instance."

Yan Liang's face stiffened.

You mean there's no way to undo it?

"At present, it will only disappear on its own after you leave this little secret realm."

Mo Fan spoke calmly.

"There is no other way at the moment."

At least none of the three of them currently possess any items or magic that can dispel the poisonous miasma.

Furthermore, the description of this negative status does not provide any other ways to resolve it.

Yan Liang's expression grew increasingly grim.

"So I'll always have 10% less maximum health now?"

"Ah."

Mo Fan nodded.

"If you want to keep exploring, then keep moving forward."

"Perhaps there are items in this maze that can remove negative status effects."

"Of course, it's only a possibility."

Yan Liang fell silent.

He certainly didn't want to leave the small secret realm now.

He had just received a pet egg and some cocoa beans and rock pebbles.

There are clearly many undiscovered altars and hidden rewards in this plant maze.

Even this treasure chest with a trap contains thirty Locke's Dollars.

Who knows what else is hidden deeper inside?

Yan Liang felt resentful that he had to leave just because his maximum health was reduced by 10%.

Moreover, he is now acting alongside Mo Fan and Zhuang Xiao.

If you really encounter danger, you don't necessarily have to bear it all alone.

Thinking of this, Yan Liang could only suppress the frustration in his heart.

"That's fine."

He bent down to wipe away the remaining blood under his nose, and then took out a tissue to plug his still-bleeding nostrils.

He had only taken two steps when, as if suddenly remembering something, he spoke again.

"But we need to agree on this beforehand."

Mo Fan and Zhuang Xiao looked at him.

Yan Liang pointed to the treasure chest behind him that had already been opened.

"I've already opened a treasure chest once."

"I was the one who got into trouble with the authorities, and I was also the one who suffered the negative effects."

"So, if I encounter any more treasure chests later, I definitely won't open them."
