Chapter 187 Who is Scheming Against Our Squad?

"Chapter 187: Who's Plotting Against Their Team?"

"Qingcheng Three-Headed Dog Slayer: Quick, quick! Any veterans who've ventured into the Wisdom Dungeon, please step forward and share your insights! Tell us ordinary folks what it's truly like and how to conquer it. The official description is too vague, and there's no walkthrough. My curiosity is killing me!"

"Qingcheng When Will the Elf Appear: I've got a tiny bit of inside information. Apparently, 24 people in total entered—four teams plus personnel from our Qingcheng Special Operations Bureau. Aside from the Peanut Squad, who emerged completely unscathed, the other three teams and the Special Operations Bureau suffered casualties. For this initial exploration of the Wisdom Dungeon, the Peanut Squad reaped the greatest rewards."

"Qingcheng I Want to Contract a Succubus: Wow, the person above seems to know more than just a tiny bit! Do tell, do tell! I'm all ears."

"Qingcheng Jovial Youth: Our Peanut Squad is truly amazing! Even as a member, I'm not privy to the full details. Our leader and the Grand Steward went straight home after exiting the Wisdom Dungeon. We couldn't even dig for information. Hey, the person two comments up, spill everything you know, or I'll be forced to kneel and beg you."

"Shengjing Ultimate Werewolf Slayer: Hahaha, is the person above trying to be funny? I always thought the Peanut Squad members were serious, but it turns out there's a comedian among them."

"Qingcheng When Will the Elf Appear: Don't rush me, I'll explain. According to information leaked by my cousin's brother-in-law's sister-in-law, the Special Operations Bureau made a deal with the four major Qingcheng teams: they could keep whatever they acquired in the dungeon, provided everyone wore a Recording Stone. This was to facilitate the Bureau's subsequent research and development of a Wisdom Dungeon walkthrough.

Thanks to these Recording Stones, every action of the four teams inside was documented, including all the valuable items they obtained. After reviewing all the footage, the Special Operations Bureau concluded that the Peanut Squad gained the most. The Captain's Wife was the dungeon's MVP; she received several large crates of treasures sent by the Succubus Royal Family.

For example, rare-grade weapons, rare-grade herbs, various elemental gems, and so on... She also completed the dungeon and received a clearance reward. In short, the Peanut Squad hit the jackpot this time. I'm so envious of them! With their Captain's Wife getting so many good things, they must have gotten a share too, right?"

"Jincheng: Heating Furnace Grabber: So envious. I wonder if the Peanut Squad members will each receive a rare-grade weapon tomorrow. Even a legendary-grade weapon would make me drool with envy. I only regret not being from Qingcheng and not joining the Peanut Squad."

"Sichuan New Monster Glacier Fox Has Appeared: Being in the Peanut Squad must be incredible. They're definitely getting a ton of good stuff this time. I heard their Captain's Wife is incredibly generous and treats her teammates very well."

"Jincheng Most Dashing Werewolf: Envy +1. I want a Captain's Wife like that too..."

A flood of comments followed, all praising and adoring the Peanut Squad's Captain's Wife, along with envy and resentment towards the squad members. It was as if they wanted to beat drums and gongs to announce it to the world.

The scene became incredibly lively, and some Peanut Squad members even felt a little giddy, their hearts stirring with anticipation, eagerly awaiting the Captain's Wife to bestow upon them a legendary-grade weapon or a rare-grade item tomorrow.

However, the more astute individuals quickly sensed that something was amiss, including the Captain's Wife herself and Peanut Squad Captain Xie Tingsheng, who were silently observing the chat.

What, if she didn't give everyone a legendary-grade weapon or a rare-grade item, she wouldn't be considered a good Captain's Wife anymore?

This was clearly an attempt to sow discord within the Peanut Squad!

Who was plotting against their team?

And using his wife as a target?

Xie Tingsheng's brows furrowed deeply, his phoenix eyes glinting with a dark light. He was about to interject, but someone else beat him to it.

"Qingcheng Diligent Worker: What the hell are you talking about? Our Captain's Wife is indeed a great Captain's Wife, but why should she hand out freebies? Our entire squad has thousands of members. Even if she got good stuff in the Wisdom Dungeon, there aren't thousands of items for everyone to get one. Stop your baseless whining and saying you're envious. If the Captain's Wife doesn't give us anything tomorrow, are you going to turn around and call her stingy?"

"Qingcheng Jovial Youth: Yes, yes, Sister Cancan is right. Our squad has a fair exchange system. Even the Captain's Wife shouldn't have to give out valuable items for free. Besides, there might even be traitors like Quan Yumeng in our squad. Giving out freebies would just benefit them!"

"Qingcheng Wisdom of Old Friends: Qi Cancan, Qiao Doudou, well said! You are truly clear-headed individuals. I commend you both."

"Qingcheng Peanut Squad Grand Steward: I was one of the 24 who entered the Wisdom Dungeon. Honestly, compared to the Captain's Wife, who cleared it openly through luck and wisdom, I believe Chu Zexuan of the Roaring Tiger Team gained the most this time."

"Qingcheng Jovial Youth: Oh? How so? Grand Steward, please tell us, quickly!"

The crowd, previously engrossed in envying the Peanut Squad, immediately shifted their attention to the Peanut Squad's Grand Steward's words, eagerly awaiting his explanation.

Zhu Bin inwardly praised the "Jovial Youth" for his cooperation. This kid was good; he'd make an excellent straight man!

Then, he cleared his throat and began to share his analysis in the group chat.

"Qingcheng Peanut Squad Grand Steward: Allow me to explain. Everyone knows that Chu Zexuan suddenly joined the Roaring Tiger Team a few days ago, right? And the moment he appeared, he replaced Xu He—who had fought alongside Liu Hu for over a decade—as the team's second-in-command. This alone demonstrates his extraordinary capabilities.

This time, after entering the Wisdom Dungeon, Liu Hu died, and Xu He also died. Only Chu Zexuan emerged unscathed. Doesn't that leave him as the highest-ranking member of the Roaring Tiger Team? This way, he can legitimately ascend to become the leader, the boss, of the Roaring Tiger Team. From joining the Roaring Tiger Team to becoming its leader, it took him less than three days! He gained an entire team.

A powerful combat team versus items brought out of the Wisdom Dungeon that will only depreciate in value—which one is more advantageous? I believe anyone watching who isn't a fool can tell which one yielded greater gains."
