"No. I preferred being alone."
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Chan chose to slip away.
These people had clearly entered to earn Starlight as well.
A group helping one another to gather resources might seem more advantageous, but with so many people clustered together, they made a large target and were easily spotted.
Especially by those who had spent huge amounts of Starlight on equipment solely to have their fun in the Bloody Forbidden Area. If they ran into people like that, they would be completely finished.
