Chapter 306: Luck Is Greater Than Strength?

In the temporary camp, night gradually fell. All the scattered exploration members had gathered here.
Many of the team members chatted about the areas of the territory they had explored today.
“Why does it feel like there’s nothing in our territory?”
“Yeah, it’s empty. Maybe it’s because it’s the fire attribute territory.”
“There’s nothing in the fog.”
“Indeed, there’s not a single fierce beast, but there’s also nothing else. It’s just a desert.”
“Where can we find the Lord’s token fragment? Why didn’t I see anything?”
“I did find a tin treasure chest, but there was only a pair of worn-out shoes and a Lord’s token fragment inside.”
“Hehe, I was lucky enough to obtain two Lord’s token fragments.”
“…”
At this moment, Liu Yan came to the front.
The group quieted down and looked at him.
Although Liu Yan had just become their captain, after witnessing his strength, most of the team members respected him.
At this moment, Liu Yan looked at the group and said calmly, “First, everyone should hand in the Lord’s token fragment that you obtained today. The rest of the harvest belongs to you. The Lord’s token fragments will be under unified management.”
Hearing this, the team members consisting of students from the two academies didn’t have any objections.
After all, level five of the Tower was based on a team system. They wouldn’t gain anything from keeping the Lord’s token fragments.
They needed the entire team to collect enough Lord’s token fragments. They could only pass if they gathered 10,000 fragments.
Soon, the team members who had obtained the Lord’s token fragments all went forward to hand them in.
However, only a few members went forward.
Furthermore, the total number of Lord’s token fragments they handed in was very little.
Seeing this, Liu Yan frowned slightly as he looked at the members below and asked doubtfully, “Are there any more that hasn’t been handed in yet?”
The members looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.
“I didn’t see any treasure chests at all, nor do I see any Lord’s token fragments.”
“Yeah, we didn’t see any Lord’s token fragments at all.”
“Isn’t this Lord’s token fragment too difficult to collect? I’ve searched for a day and only found one.”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect the territory to be so big, but with so few Lord’s token fragments.”
“…”
Liu Yan couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard this.
The Lord’s token fragments that the team members had handed in just now were extremely few.
Among those that came forward, they had each only handed in one or two pieces.
Not every team member had come forward. Only a small portion of them had obtained something.
Most did not even see the shadow of a treasure chest, let alone the Lord’s token fragments.
Among the team members who had obtained something, only a small portion of them was able to obtain many Lord’s token fragments.
Liu Yan noticed that Luo Qingcheng had obtained three Lord’s token fragments, Murong Xue had obtained two, Allen Smith had obtained five, and Xu Han had obtained six.
In addition, Liu Yan himself had obtained three, while the rest of the team members who had gained something had mostly gotten one.
For the entire day, the outstanding students of the two academies, the team from the Land of Origin with a total of nearly a hundred members, had only obtained 32 Lord’s token fragments.
After a hard day of exploration, the entire team had only obtained 32 Lord’s token fragments. This was undoubtedly too little.
The target was a total of 10,000 fragments. The difference was huge.
Liu Yan had not expected that the Lord’s token fragments would be so difficult to find. To think they could only collect so many in a day.
He looked at everyone with a somewhat grim expression and said, “Everyone, the situation doesn’t seem too optimistic for us. In a day, we’ve only collected 32 Lord’s token fragments. This is too little.”
When the team members heard this, they were in an uproar.
“What? Only 32 in one day?”
“I had expected that it would be very little, but I didn’t expect it to be so little.”
“Yeah, I’ve been working hard for a whole day to explore and collect the fragments. My legs are sore from running, but I’ve only found one Lord’s token fragment.”
“32 Lord’s token fragments in one day. Wouldn’t that take us 300 days to gather 10,000 Lord’s token fragments? That’s forever.”
“If this goes on, we won’t be able to pass this trial.”
“…”
The team members were all filled with worry.
They didn’t expect that after working hard for a day, the final harvest was so meager. To think there were only 32 Lord’s token fragments.
If this went on, they wouldn’t be able to pass this trial.
Luo Qingcheng, who was at the side, analyzed and said, “Previously, I tried to dissect the rules. If we rely on ourselves to collect the Lord’s token fragments, we can only get them from the treasure chests. The higher the grade of the treasure chest, the more Lord’s token fragments there will be. However, the spawning mechanism of the treasure chests is completely random. Now it seems that our luck is not very good. Today, the fire attribute territory did not spawn many treasure chests. Moreover, among the treasure chests that spawned, there was not a single one of a higher grade. They were mostly either tin treasure chests or black iron treasure chests. Let alone a high-grade treasure chest, we did not even see a silver chest.”
Hearing this, everyone agreed. It seemed that it was true. Their luck was quite bad.
The fire attribute territory was huge, but it only spawned a few treasure chests, and there wasn’t a single high-grade treasure chest. That was why they had worked so hard for a day and only obtained 32 Lord’s token fragments.
“So it depends on luck? Then what should we do?”
“That’s right, we can’t display our strength at all if it all depends on luck.”
“I wonder if our luck will be better tomorrow. Will more treasure chests be spawned in our territory, and even find high-grade treasure chests?”
“But that will be very unstable. If it all depends on luck, we’ll have no way to change the outcome.”
“Could it be that whether we can pass the trial on level five of the Tower depends entirely on luck?”
“…”
The team members discussed this amongst themselves. They were all stumped and did not have any good ideas.
At this moment, the voice of the Tower resounded throughout the world.
[Now, the latest news will be reported!]
[The European Federation and New Continent have decided to form Alliance Number 1!]
[The Red Star Empire and Pan-ocean Community have decided to form Alliance Number 2!]
[During the alliance, both teams will be on the same side. They can cooperate, but they can not share their territories. The two teams will share the gains equally!]
When everyone heard the Tower’s report, they were in an uproar.
The situation here was not good, to begin with. In just one day, they had only managed to collect 32 Lord’s token fragments.
At this time, the other teams actually chose to form alliances.
Coincidentally, the other four teams had all formed alliances.
As a result, the team from the Land of Origin was alone.
Of the other four teams, they formed alliances in pairs and would thus work together. Only the team from the Land of Origin had to rely on themselves and didn’t have any allies.
All of a sudden, the team members started to panic.
