Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 423 Compared to mud, you and I are both saints!
"Snapped!"

Rebecca walked up to Ralph with a dark expression and slapped him hard across the face, snapping him out of his rage.

"Commander, why did you hit me?" Ralph covered his face, looking aggrieved.

At this moment, the battles on both sides in the arena were brought to a halt due to the earlier incident, and it seemed that the fight could not continue. A doctor player from the crowd came out to treat the injured players.

Especially the knight commander whose face was flattened, surrounded by a group of doctors, seven or eight of them showing off their skills to get him a treatment plan.

In the end, Xiao Siyuan stepped forward and operated on him on the spot, reshaping the shattered bones back into human form.

"Why did I hit you?" Rebecca asked coldly, "What is the first principle of our White Bear Legion?"

"No innocent people are allowed to be harmed!" Ralph immediately shouted back.

"What were we doing just now?" Rebecca continued to ask.

"duel!"

"Who is your opponent in the duel?"

"It's those sissies!"

The knights glared at them angrily.

"What about Li Zheng and the others?"

"They are innocent civilians who are not the targets of the duel!"

"Now do you know why I hit you?" Rebecca questioned him.

“I understand…” Ralph lowered his voice, “But Commander, didn’t we come here with Li Zheng as our hostile target? If we had taken the opportunity to kill him just now, wouldn’t our mission have been completed?”

“The previous mission failed, which is why we became prisoners. The moment we were captured, the previous mission was already over.” Rebecca asked, “What is the White Bear Legion’s second principle?”

"No personal revenge allowed!" Ralph shouted back, then bowed his head in apology: "I understand, Commander. I violated the first rule by affecting Li Zheng and the others. Then my attempt to justify myself violated the second rule."

“Two crimes, do you know what to do?” Rebecca’s face remained cold.

“I know!” Ralph took out another spiked club from the capsule, raised his hand and rested the spiked end against his back, then took out two steel cables, wrapped them around the club and tightened them in front of his chest.

"puff!"

The menacing spikes of the mace pierced his body, and bright red blood gushed down his back and flowed to the ground.

He walked step by step to Li Zheng, leaving a long trail of bloody footprints behind him, and knelt on the ground, saying to Li Zheng, "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Rebecca walked over, her voice stern: "Anything else?"

Ralph obediently looked up, changed his angle, and faced Liu Qishao: "I'm sorry, please forgive me!"

Liu Qishao's eyes twitched. This bloody version of "bearing thorns to apologize" was too hardcore for him to accept.

"If I... if I don't forgive him, will he kneel here and bleed to death?" Liu Qishao asked Rebecca.

“No.” Rebecca shook her head. “If you don’t forgive him, I will kill him with my own hands!”

Liu Qishao frowned: "You're so ruthless, how come they respect you? If you kill him, won't his father come after you to the death?"

Rebecca glanced back at the middle-aged man receiving treatment and said, "If his father hadn't been injured, I wouldn't be the one standing here speaking."

Liu Qishao was deeply shocked: "I don't understand, but what you said is enough to shock my mother for a hundred years!"

As a fellow legion commander, Liu Qishao found it hard to understand Rebecca's way of doing things, yet people still followed her wholeheartedly.

"Never mind, we're all fine anyway, let's just forgive him." Liu Qishao waved his hand.

Joanna stood beside him, her brows furrowed, but she didn't say much, silently supporting whatever decisions Liu Qishao made.

"Thank you!" Rebecca's expression softened, and when she looked at Li Zhengshi, her eyes instantly filled with tenderness. "Ah... then... would Mr. Li be willing to forgive his impetuous behavior?"

Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat at that alluring "Ah~", and he quickly nodded: "Okay, okay, as long as you don't look at me like that again, everything is negotiable!"

Rebecca gave Ralph a light kick: "Did you hear that? Aren't you going to thank the two of you?" Ralph obediently thanked Li Zheng and Liu Qishao, then got up, took off his spiked club, and went back to the group.

Several doctor players saw this and exclaimed, "Wow, this is a big job!" They all rushed over to treat him.

Rebecca said to Joanna, "We lost this time. According to the bet, I will bring people to go with you."

Joanna: "The duel is not over yet, it is too early to judge who is the winner."

“No!” Rebecca said, “If Li Zheng hadn’t intervened in time, or if it hadn’t been Li Zheng standing here just now, Ralph would have made a grave mistake. Compared to the Knights, we have already lost.”

Joanna hesitated for a moment: "Why don't we wait until the injured have recovered and then have a rematch to decide the winner? If we declare you the loser just like that, I'm afraid some members of the White Bear Legion might object."

What she wanted was a group of loyal followers who would wholeheartedly obey her, not subordinates who had reservations about her.

Otherwise, how is she any different from her sister Diana?

"I said we lost, and that's final. No one will disagree!" Rebecca said this seemingly forcefully, but then suddenly deflated. "After all, I brought them here. I can't let them lose their lives because of my mistake."

Joanna understood and nodded, saying, "Alright, since you've said so, then we'll consider this duel a victory."

"But you can rest assured, as long as you help me complete one task, I may consider letting you return to the White Bear Legion."

"Really?" Rebecca's face lit up with surprise.

"Of course it's true, but you need to be prepared. This is extremely dangerous, and your people... might lose their lives." Joanna truthfully explained the danger, after all, Diana was leading nearly ninety knight commanders, making them very difficult to deal with.

“Okay, it’s a deal!” Rebecca didn’t care if the mission was difficult; their White Bear Legion was never afraid of dying, only of dying in a pointless way.

"Do we need to sign an agreement?" Joanna asked her.

Rebecca's gaze swept across Liu Qishao and Li Zheng's faces. Considering the failure this time, she said cautiously, "It would be for the best!"

That's how traitors are. Once you've betrayed someone, no matter how open and honest you are with others in the future, they'll always be wary of you.

Rebecca called over the member of her team who was most sensitive to the terms of the agreement, explained the situation to him, and asked him to discuss the terms of the agreement with Joanna.

The duel has now come to an end.

However, the attack on Li Zheng by the five-party allied forces was far from over.

Li Zheng led Rebecca aside and asked, "Since your White Bear Legion is so principled, why are there still more than ten red-named players?"

Although the ten red-named individuals didn't have much blood on their hands, the one who killed the most killed five white-named individuals, and Li Zheng needed Rebecca to give him an explanation.

Rebecca knew that Li Zheng and those with red names were mortal enemies, and explained, "That's a very normal fighting behavior."

Because the Russians have more than just their White Bear legion, friction or mutual insults are inevitable during exploration and in daily life.

Sometimes, when pushed to the limit, I'll practice a few moves myself.

As they practiced, it led to someone's death.

However, this kind of thing is not limited to the White Bear Legion.

As long as you're human, you'll inevitably have some conflicts with others in the matrix.

It's just that the legion has gathered the exploration results of a large number of members, so it can easily take out the space jump device and fight with others.

Otherwise, the proportion of red names in the matrix would probably rise sharply!
"We fought relatively rationally. I brought out the most hot-tempered members of the White Bear Legion this time," Rebecca said. "You saw those people sent from Takamagahara just now; none of them had clean hands!"

"Compared to Takamagahara, our White Bear Legion is simply saints!"

This chapter was written in a daze after I woke up, and there's a logical inconsistency in it. Now that I'm fully awake, it's terrifying!

The plot has been revised. The original plot was that Rebecca refused to sign the agreement with Joanna based on the credibility of Li Zheng and Liu Qishao's guarantees.

The revised version was signed.

I actually confused such a simple logic as "once bitten by a snake, twice shy"...
