Chapter 58 Divine Beast Egg
[Dear镖师 (bodyguards/escorts), congratulations on completing the first three rounds of escort missions! The rewards for the first three rounds will be distributed shortly. Next, each of you will have one chance to choose a special reward. Please remember, you only have one chance!]
You have three minutes to choose your favorite golden chest from these chests. Inside lies your special reward. The rewards vary, some are large, some are small, and some are even empty. What kind of golden chest you choose depends entirely on luck. So, good luck!
As 007's voice faded, many gold chests appeared out of thin air in the middle of the road. The appearance of the gold chests was no different from the gold chests that held the darts.
The only difference is that the gold boxes on the highway are numbered, from 1 to 100.
That means there are a total of 100 gold chests here.
Meng Qingyin got out of the car, and the others also got out and came to the golden box.
Seeing that the person in the passenger seat showed no intention of getting out of the car, Zhao Lan asked in confusion, "Why aren't you getting out?"
The man smiled and replied, "You go ahead and choose. My wound is suddenly a little painful, so I'll go down later."
Zhao Lan had no suspicions. "Alright, just be careful not to miss the time. You only have three minutes."
“Okay,” the man said gently.
Zhao Lan got out of the car and came to the gold box.
The moment she got out of the car, the gentle look on the man's face vanished.
Ignoring the pain from his wounds, he climbed into the driver's seat.
He stared intently at the crowd, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Meanwhile, on the highway, the other five people were selecting gold chests.
The gold chests were lined up on the ground, and there was no way to tell them apart, so you could only choose blindly.
The hooded man's eyes darted around, and an idea came to him.
Perhaps he could judge the amount of supplies inside the box by its weight?
An empty box certainly doesn't weigh much!
He bent down and picked up the gold box in front of him that had the number "23" written on it.
There's only one chest, so it's impossible to know whether it's lighter or heavier; we have to compare it with other gold chests before we can make a decision.
Meng Qingyin, who happened to be next to him, saw this and instantly understood what he meant.
She planned to follow suit, but just as she was about to pick up the number 24 gold box in front of her, 007's warning voice suddenly rang out.
[Player "Lonely Root of Three", you have already chosen Golden Chest #23. You only have one chance, please stop immediately!]
Meng Qingyin paused, looked at the person next to her, and saw him bending down and reaching out to take the gold box with "22" written on it.
Upon hearing 007's warning, he froze: "What? Is this box made of gold? I can't even touch it?"
He touched the number 23 gold box, and that was considered his choice?
Meng Qingyin quickly withdrew her hand, but couldn't help saying, "This box really is made of gold."
"Lonely Square 3" glanced at her and said irritably, "Who asked you? None of us asked you. Who asked you?"
It's clear that because he was "forced" to choose the gold box number 23, the square root of three quickly broke through his defenses.
Meng Qingyin decided to stay away from him.
She turned and moved several steps to the side.
She carefully examined the exterior of each gold box, trying to see if there were any special patterns engraved on it, but there weren't.
Looks like I can only guess blindly.
Just as Meng Qingyin was about to pick one at random, the management group suddenly became lively.
[Pheasant: Brother White Fox, are you watching?]
[White Fox: Watching.]
[Pheasant: I'm watching that evil human colleague; she actually completed the previous escort mission smoothly! It's infuriating!]
[White Fox: What a coincidence, I'm watching those six too. That idiot hooded guy actually thought he could judge the amount of supplies inside the gold chest by its weight—how naive!]
[Azure Wolf: Luckily, I reacted quickly and immediately reported this little bug to 007, otherwise they would definitely have followed suit, and the box containing the mythical beast egg would have been exposed.]
[Pheasant: So which box is the mythical beast egg in? What happens to the golden box if none of the six of them find the one with the egg?]
[Hyena: It will disappear.]
[White Fox: Gold Chest #57.]
[Pheasant: 57? The mythical beast egg is in golden chest number 57? This number is really unremarkable. Humans usually choose auspicious numbers, such as 6, 8, 66, 88. I bet no one would choose golden chest number 57.]
[White Fox: Of course, that's my idea.]
[Pheasant: Big Brother White Fox is awesome!]
Meng Qingyin closed the chat interface without making a sound.
The gold chest number 57, right?
She slowly walked to the gold box marked "60" and made a gesture as if to reach out and take it.
A moment later, a look of hesitation crossed her face, and she reached out hesitantly for the gold box number 59.
Just as her hand was about to touch the gold box, she withdrew it.
The pheasant was getting really anxious watching this.
What's there to hesitate about? Hurry up and pick one. As long as it's not number 57, any one will do!
The next moment, [Pheasant] almost screamed because it saw Meng Qingyin reach out her hand to No. 58, hesitate for a few seconds, and then put her hand in front of No. 57.
The pheasant was so anxious that it started yelling and screaming in the management group.
[Pheasant: Oh no! No! Great Chicken God, please protect me! Don't let this evil human choose chest number 57! I'll offer you my favorite insects!]
[Pheasant: Pick number 58 for me! Pick 58! 58!]
[Pheasant: Oh no!!! She actually chose 57... She got the legendary beast egg!]
Just as the pheasant was trending online, Meng Qingyin figured she had done her part. She hesitated for a moment between box 57 and 58, and finally chose box 57.
At this time, the others had also chosen their gold chests.
The three minutes were about to end, but the man in the car still hadn't gotten out.
Zhao Lan looked back at her car in confusion, only to see it heading straight towards the crowd!
She was terrified and cried out at the top of her lungs, "Get out of the way!"
In a panic, she grabbed Meng Qingyin beside her and quickly rolled into the sand next to her!
Just as Meng Qingyin was about to put the gold box into her backpack, she heard Zhao Lan shout "Get out of the way!" Then she felt someone grab her arm and pull her down onto the sand.
At the same time, the speeding car grazed her other arm, and a burning pain immediately shot through her arm. A piece of flesh was torn off her right forearm, leaving it a bloody mess.
But Meng Qingyin couldn't care less about the pain in her arm at the moment. She immediately checked the golden chest. When she fell to the ground, she seemed to hear a crisp cracking sound coming from the golden chest. Could it be that her divine beast egg had been broken?
Meng Qingyin anxiously opened the eggshell a crack, and sure enough, there was a slight crack in the eggshell, which was covered with light gold patterns. However, the crack was very minor and should be fine.
Worried that others would see what was in her gold box, Meng Qingyin quickly closed the lid again.
What she didn't see was that a drop of blood from her arm fell onto the crack in the eggshell and slowly seeped into the inside of the mythical beast egg.
