The envisioned process for obtaining the rule took clear shape in Di Nian Evil Spirit's mind.
But the next second, his thoughts abruptly stalled.
He realized he had overlooked a critical risk: the beastly players were, in essence, a double-edged sword.
Used well, they could become a weapon against his enemies in interdimensional wars.
Used poorly, they would inevitably hurt him.
Over his years of fighting these beasts, countless reviews of battlefield data had led him to infer a possibility.
The beastly players possessed an innate, bizarre ability called "read analysis."
Whether facing the evil spirits under his command or other civilizations' troop types, players could precisely extract their targets' core information and potential value, keeping themselves at an informational advantage.
That meant that once players set foot in the Independent Space, they would inevitably see the true value of the rule particles inside the guardian warriors at once.
These supremely greedy beasts would never readily hand over such precious rule particles.
Unless the rewards he offered exceeded the value of the rule particles themselves.
But that would defeat the purpose of obtaining the rule.
At that thought, Di Nian Evil Spirit frowned slightly.
