["Team combat is obviously fine! But right now, Lord Ethan killed such a huge monster all by himself. Let me ask you, can you do that too?"], Luna from District 8 shot back.
["Heh! What's so impressive about that? It's just killing monsters. Have I killed any less?"]
Shakun from District 1 was still being stubborn.
But at this moment, a sharp-eyed player F noticed, ["I wonder if anyone else saw it. Inside that giant monster's body, there's actually a treasure chest! It looks like a silver chest!"]
["That's true!",] Player G said excitedly, ["It really is silver! From what I know, the higher the chest level, the stronger the corresponding monster. I've only seen a silver chest once so far, but that monster looked really tough. I didn't even dare go deal with it! Lord Ethan is amazing."]
["I've also seen a silver chest once. It was at the bottom of a cliff, surrounded by those weird worms. Anyway, I didn't dare get any ideas about it."]
["Heh, Cliff Brother, didn't expect you to still be alive,"] District 1 Lord Shakun continued, ["I see your situation is pretty dangerous right now. How about considering joining our District 1? At least we can guarantee you won't lack food or clothing."]
["And let me tell you all who haven't seen much of the world, we in District 1 have opened who knows how many silver chests."]
["This thing is basically worthless."]
["I've opened at least eighty, if not a hundred silver chests. What's inside is just some ordinary stuff. The real good things are all in gold chests."]
["Let me tell you, just yesterday, with the cooperation of District 10 Lord Chomu, I opened two gold chests."]
["There are real treasures inside! Skill books!"]
["Heh! Heh!"]
As he spoke, the scheming Shakun even deliberately posted a collection of silver chest photos.
At the same time, he also posted a nine-grid image of gold chests. In reality, it was just the same two gold chests, photographed from different angles.
["Hiss! Those really are gold chests!"]
["Shiny gold chests, they look so nice!"]
["Silver chests aren't bad either,"] Player H chimed in, ["If I could get even one silver chest, I'd already be satisfied!"]
["Heh! Heh!"]
District 1 Lord Shakun laughed smugly again, ["Now you all understand the strength of our District 1, right?"]
["Compared to a small lord like Ethan, everyone should value regions like ours that rely on coordinated military cooperation."]
["The army is the real team, the true backbone that can survive in this apocalypse."]
["Joining our District 1 is your best choice!"]
Taking advantage of the moment, Shakun aggressively tried to recruit people.
Because he knew very well… the polar night had only just begun. The next two days would be the real challenge for players.
When they could no longer survive, what he said today would naturally influence their choices. This was also his best chance to increase his population.
["Don't you… think something's off?"] Player Boss White spoke up, ["Look at the silver chest posted by the District 1 Lord and the silver chest posted by the District 7 Lord. The silver looks quite different!"]
["That's right!"], Player J said, ["I didn't notice before you said it! But now that you mention it, the silver chest Shakun posted looks really dull, kind of ordinary, without that premium feel."]
["But the silver chest Boss Ethan posted looks especially bright, like it's glowing silver."]
["I know now!"]
At that moment, Player J suddenly said this.
But everyone waited for a long time without any follow-up. Finally, someone couldn't hold back and @ J: ["What do you know? Stop keeping us in suspense, hurry up and say it!"]
["I know too!"], Before J could reply, Player A immediately jumped in, ["What Lord Ethan got isn't an ordinary silver chest at all! It's a platinum chest!"]
["What? A platinum chest!"]
Everyone was shocked, ["The chest Ethan got is actually a platinum chest, a level higher than gold chests! What could be inside that?"]
["Who knows?"], District 8 Lord Luna chimed in, ["Anyway, no one in our entire district has encountered a platinum chest yet."]
["Impossible!"]
District 1 Lord Shakun jumped out again to refute, ["A platinum chest isn't something ordinary people can obtain."]
["Our intelligence department analyzed it. This world has a strange rule where the stronger the enemy you encounter, the stronger you yourself are. And because of a protection mechanism, ordinary people simply can't encounter high-level monsters."]
["And based on our experiments these past few days, even something like a gold chest requires at least a high-level warrior or mage to encounter."]
["As for District 7 Lord Ethan, what qualifications does he have to encounter that level of monster?"]
["Heh, you people hired by Ethan as fake supporters think saying some vague nonsense can shake players' choices of district?"]
["I think you should just save it!"]
Shakun's speech indeed stirred up quite a bit of speculation.
["Is the District 7 Lord really going this far just to attract people?"], Player F said, ["Isn't that a bit shameless?"]
["When did I ever take money from the District 7 Lord? Why don't I know about it?"], Player D retorted, ["We're just talking about facts. The chest colors are different. Can't everyone see that? Facts speak louder than words."]
["I also think the color looks different!"], Player Boss White @Ethan.
["Pah! Boss White, don't you know about color differences between different cameras?"], Player Mo Ji retorted, ["Different cameras shooting the same object at the same time and place will still have color differences! Not to mention Shakun and Ethan took their silver chest photos at different times and places."]
["Anyway, I choose to support District 7 Lord Ethan."]
["I choose to support District 1 Boss Shakun, at least he's straightforward."]
["I choose…"]
Everyone began taking sides.
Meanwhile, after finishing the video, Ethan happened to be collecting the loot dropped by the Tyrant and hadn't checked the magic book.
[Five-Colored Beast Core +1]
[Tyrant's Dry Bones +366]
[Tyrant's Blood Axe +1]
[Tyrant's Fingernails +20]
[Tyrant's Eyeballs +2]
The materials dropped by the Tyrant were even fewer than Ethan had expected.
There was no helping it.
After all, the Tyrant's skin and flesh had already rotted away, leaving only things that wouldn't decay.
But the large axe in the Tyrant's hand caught Ethan's interest. After collecting it, when he took it out again from his tail ring, he discovered that the axe could change size.
