I Can See All The Bosses' Drops-Chapter 589 - 575: The Battle for Quotas

"Three slots?"

Lin Yi looked at the earnest face of Absolute Destiny Heavenly Lord in front of him and shook his head helplessly:

"I'm sorry, Heavenly Lord, all 100 slots have already been allocated."

Absolute Destiny Heavenly Lord had initially hoped to secure at least one slot, but he hadn't expected to be rejected despite asking in person.

"Is there really not even one slot left? Even one would do!"

Absolute Destiny Heavenly Lord asked persistently:

"Our guild has an archer ranked 41 in the Battle Zone power rankings; I believe he can definitely help you."

Yet Lin Yi still shook his head with regret:

"The last few slots were given to Phantom City, and even for one slot, I can't squeeze anymore."

"Sorry, Heavenly Lord."

"But if there's another opportunity in the future, I'll definitely reserve two slots for you, and we can cooperate then."

"How about that?"

Seeing Lin Yi's expression, Absolute Destiny Heavenly Lord knew that he wouldn't get any slots today.

But even so, Absolute Destiny Heavenly Lord didn't show any dissatisfaction, only expressed regret:

"That's really too bad."

Lin Yi smiled:

"It's okay, there will be more opportunities to work together in the future, this one doesn't matter much."

Absolute Destiny Heavenly Lord didn't argue, nodded, and said:

"Then I'll look forward to our next collaboration."

After some brief pleasantries, Absolute Destiny Heavenly Lord turned and left.

Lin Yi stood there, lost in thought.

At that moment, Lin Yi finally realized he might have overlooked something important.

When Handsome Degradation first came to ask for slots, Lin Yi hadn't thought much of it.

With the arrival of Mu Lingxue and Absolute Destiny Heavenly Lord, Lin Yi, despite being slow to react, instantly understood the intentions behind these people.

Were they really here just to help him?

Perhaps partly.

But at that time, Lin Yi suddenly came to his senses; their primary goal might have been to get a free guide to the Giant Dragon's Nest dungeon.

Lin Yi hadn't initially considered this, but now he suddenly felt he was being too 'naive'.

No wonder the Shengshi Drunkards had those 'smirks' on their faces when he agreed to lead them for the first kill.

They were probably aiming for this.

No wonder they so readily agreed to his requests; turns out they didn't care about the drops this time at all.

Once they mastered the dungeon guide, wouldn't they be able to grind for whatever they wanted afterward?

After this fiasco, Lin Yi truly felt that these 100 slots couldn't be given away so casually.

Because whether it's the Dragon Scale Fruit or the dungeon guide, Lin Yi didn't want them to be known or exploited prematurely.

Just then, Handsome Degradation suddenly sent a message:

Mingmen Handsome Degradation (Friend): "Box 103, Mingcui Tower, White Tiger City."

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised:

"What does this guy want with me again?"

When Lin Yi arrived outside the box and opened the door, he unexpectedly saw Handsome Degradation together with Mingmen Yue'Er:

"You guys?"

Lin Yi looked at Mingmen Yue'Er, who was staring at the ground, not daring to meet his eyes. Then he looked at Handsome Degradation, puzzled:

"What's going on here?"

Handsome Degradation nudged Mingmen Yue'Er beside him and said:

"Hey, I brought the person you asked for, so whatever it is, you tell him yourself."

Lin Yi turned to Mingmen Yue'Er, curious:

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yi had witnessed the changes in Mingmen Yue'Er over the past year.

So he had long since dismissed her former spoiled temperament.

Her drastically changed personality was indeed much more agreeable than her previous arrogant and domineering demeanor.

Under Handsome Degradation's repeated urging, Mingmen Yue'Er finally gathered the courage to recount the matter with Green Robe Wielding Sword.

However, before Lin Yi could respond, Handsome Degradation, more agitated than Lin Yi, outright denied it:

"Impossible!"

Handsome Degradation hadn't known that Mingmen Yue'Er had come for this issue initially.

Because when she approached him before, she only mentioned asking him to bring Lin Yi over.

If Handsome Degradation had known from the start that Mingmen Yue'Er was coming for this, he wouldn't have brought Lin Yi.

Having been a guild president himself, he understood the value of a single slot more than anyone.

"What wishful thinking he has!"

Handsome Degradation burst out furiously:

"Yue'Er, do you know how important this one slot is?"

Mingmen Yue'Er, looking startled, with innocent eyes, stared at Handsome Degradation, somewhat at a loss.

Handsome Degradation exclaimed excitedly:

"He's counting on you being soft-hearted and using you!"

"Go back and tell him, even if Boss Feng agrees, I can never agree."

"Yue'Er, you're too naive; you're being used, don't you know?"

A confused Mingmen Yue'Er heard something from Handsome Degradation's tone for the first time, feeling deeply ashamed for her 'naivety'.

She thought it was just about an opening slot and hadn't thought much more.

Plus, she came with the mindset that Lin Yi might refuse, not insisting that he give her a slot.

However, seeing Handsome Degradation so agitated, and knowing her real-life friend Guo Shaojie's temperament all too well, she realized she'd definitely done something incredibly foolish.

So from Lin Yi's perspective, Mingmen Yue'Er, with a blushing face and hunched shoulders, looked like a child being scolded.

And what Handsome Degradation said was exactly what Lin Yi wanted to convey.

Since Handsome Degradation had already spoken on his behalf, Lin Yi didn't need to waste his breath anymore.

Lin Yi had some impressions of this Green Robe Wielding Sword.

When constructing in the Cyclops Race territory, he seemed to have helped them resolve a few conflicts.

And days ago, during the city-seizing war against the He Clan zone, he also saw him and exchanged a brief greeting.

But acquaintance or not, he'd be gravely mistaken if he thought sending Mingmen Yue'Er would earn him a slot through a favor.

Whether it was Famous Clan or Ice and Snow Illusion City, Lin Yi agreed to give slots not solely because of Handsome Degradation and Zhang Xinying.

The main reason was both guilds' constant support and help for him.

This time, Lin Yi was just reciprocating their assistance with gratitude.

Even if Handsome Degradation and Mu Lingxue hadn't come to find him, Lin Yi would have voluntarily approached them to offer the slot.

As for this guild called "Drunken Carefree"...

Lin Yi outright refused even the ninth-ranked "Heavenly Dao Alliance"; why would he care about such a minor guild ranked outside the top hundred?

Just then, Mingmen Yue'Er suddenly said to Lin Yi:

"I'm sorry! I didn't know this slot was that important before."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come to you."

Lin Yi wasn't too bothered by this and instead reassured her:

"It's okay."

"Anyway, I didn't give it, right?"

Mingmen Yue'Er suddenly laughed but seemed to remember something, so her smile quickly vanished.

Then, under Lin Yi's surprised gaze, Mingmen Yue'Er took out a scroll and handed it to Lin Yi with both hands:

"This is for you." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I think it might help with your exploration of the dungeon tomorrow."

Mingmen Yue'Er looked at Lin Yi anxiously, wondering if he would accept her offering.

Yet the next moment, a hand suddenly appeared and took the scroll from Mingmen Yue'Er's hand:

"Let me see what it is."

Handsome Degradation opened the scroll directly, but immediately after, a look of shock appeared on his face.

He stared at the scroll in his hand and gasped:

"Whoa! A Space Scroll?"
