Chapter 97

(Ten points of gratitude to 'tanzit' and 'Single? Public Hazard!' for the rewards!)

Not only did they plan to claim the entire treasure for themselves, but they also treated the lives of all the treasure-hunting teams as stepping stones, truly malicious and poisonous...

They would likely claim, after obtaining the entire treasure, that the treasure was just a scam, a nest of a ninth-rank magic beast, or some other lie, refusing to admit it!

After all, with everyone dead and only they remaining, they could say whatever they wanted without worrying about anyone doubting them, as there would be no witnesses!

As long as they destroyed the teleportation stone when leaving and announced that they had to destroy it to avoid being pursued by the ninth-rank magic beast, there would be no evidence left. They could then sit at home, laughing, and count their spoils!

It must be said, the auction house's conspiracy is ruthless and venomous!

After sharing his thoughts with Daisy and Mikoto, both women covered their mouths, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Perhaps, in their hearts, such a scheme is unforgivable, so they couldn't believe it...

Seeing the joyful faces and confident demeanor of Karillas and his companions, Wuyan sneered inwardly.

It is indeed a very thorough plan, but you didn't expect that, under the pressure of the massive stone spider army and the giant spider queen, someone would still be alive here, did you? Nor did you expect that there would be people like us who are not part of your plan, right?

One can only say that this is all fate!

Isn't that right? How could the people from the auction house ever imagine that there would be a Wuyan here, with a magical cloak that can perfectly conceal him, watching the show alongside them?

How could they imagine that while they were watching the show and planning to enjoy the fruits of victory, there would be another presence watching the show right next to them?

If this isn't fate, then when Wuyan and the others were discovered by the giant spider queen and planned to retreat, the mantis that was about to eat the cicada would just happen to appear, forcefully 'detaining' a sparrow, wouldn't that be fate?

So, it's all fate...

"Yan, what should we do now?" Before discussing what Wuyan was thinking, Mikoto couldn't hold back anymore. Lightning flashed on her forehead, and she watched the scene with a blank expression, her eyes full of anger.

Mikoto's state clearly showed that the auction house's actions had thoroughly enraged her!

Having a younger sister who is a discipline committee member and being extremely kind herself, how could the righteous Railgun not be angry at such an event happening right in front of her?

Although Mikoto's heart has hardened a lot since being summoned by Wuyan, her basic principles have never changed. She was just a bit naive before, but now that her naivety is gone, her kindness and inner principles still remain, which Wuyan finds very gratifying.

As for the president, she is about the same. If it weren't for her lack of strength, she would really want to rush forward and give those three evil guys a good lesson!

"What else?..." Wuyan stroked his hand, a wicked smile on his lips. "Since they are putting on a show, shouldn't we carry on their spirit and not let them down?"

"Do you mean...?" Daisy and Mikoto began to understand Wuyan's meaning. He was thinking of...

"Turn their own methods against them!"

Regardless of whether Daisy and Mikoto understood the meaning of this Chinese saying, Wuyan smiled and said, "Let them fight each other, and they will help us deal with the giant spider queen, allowing us to enjoy the role of the fisherman!"

Hearing this, Daisy and Mikoto were speechless. Looking at the constantly wickedly smiling Wuyan, they remembered the not-so-long-ago Wuyan who was shouting 'let's retreat quickly,' and they wanted to slap his smirking face.

"But, after they deal with the giant spider queen, what about those three eighth-rankers?" Mikoto frowned, knowing that even if the ninth-rank super enemy was eliminated, three eighth-rankers were still formidable opponents.

On their side, they only had one fifth-ranker, one sixth-ranker, one seventh-ranker, and one eighth-ranker. Compared to three eighth-rankers, they had no chance of winning, right?

"Don't worry!" Wuyan, of course, understood what Mikoto meant. He wasn't that foolish or overconfident.

"If it were the giant spider queen, we would have no choice but to reveal the system's bottom line, but..."

Turning his gaze to Karillas and his companions, Wuyan smiled faintly and said softly, "If it's those three eighth-rankers, with Ikaros, we still have a chance!"

"Ikaros!" Daisy and Mikoto looked at the expressionless Ikaros, surprised.

"But..." Daisy thought for a moment and hesitated, "Even though Ikaros is an eighth-ranker and more advanced than any of Karillas' three, Ikaros is just one person. Against those three eighth-rankers, that..."

"You don't understand Ikaros!"

When Wuyan said this, his tone was full of confidence. He stroked Ikaros' head and smiled, "Ikaros is the king of group battles!"

"King of group battles?" Clearly, Daisy and Mikoto didn't understand what Wuyan meant. Looking at Ikaros and the hand gently stroking her head, they felt a bit annoyed and envious.

"Let me give you an example, Mikoto!" Wuyan looked at Mikoto, making her start.

"If you and Ikaros were of the same rank, without considering equipment and other factors, and comparing pure strength, you, with your superpowers, would have a slight edge over Ikaros. But if you teamed up with someone else, the outcome would be uncertain..."

At this point, Wuyan couldn't help but see the more puzzled expressions of Daisy and Mikoto. He shrugged and continued, "Let me put it this way: if Ikaros were to fight a single person of the same rank, she could perform at 100% of her strength. But if she were in a group battle, fighting multiple opponents, she could perform at 200% of her strength!"

At this, Daisy and Mikoto were finally moved. Daisy touched her cheek and said hesitantly, "So, you're saying Ikaros becomes even stronger in group battles?"

"Exactly!" Wuyan said firmly, "Ikaros was originally developed as a strategic all-purpose angel, and all her settings are geared towards group battles. So, in group battles, Ikaros becomes even stronger!"

Hearing Wuyan's explanation, Daisy and Mikoto nodded in understanding. However, Daisy soon frowned again. "But, even if Ikaros becomes stronger in group battles, it wouldn't be much stronger, right? Against two of the same rank, it might be Ikaros' limit, let alone three!"

"Didn't I just say that's just pure strength? The most important thing is Ikaros' equipment: two rare weapons, one nearly gold-rank rare weapon, and one gold-rank weapon. Do you think Ikaros would lose with such equipment?"

The two women were taken aback. Right, there's the equipment!

Looking at their expressions, Wuyan smiled. "A gold-rank weapon is something only a ninth-rank powerhouse might have. I don't believe those three eighth-rankers outside have a gold-rank weapon!"

"So, with Ikaros' strength in group battles, plus her gold-rank weapon and top-tier rare weapon, it's not impossible for Ikaros to face those three eighth-rankers and win!"

Wuyan's words made Daisy and Mikoto lower their heads, deep in thought, considering the feasibility. Wuyan smiled, thinking of the scene of Ikaros battling the three eighth-rankers, and excitedly licked his lips.

"So, while others fight the monsters, we just wait for the loot to drop..."
