"Brother Xu is really strong, I know that," Li Kun continued, "Splitting it three ways seems like you're a bit shortchanged, but the info on the instance comes from Duan Cheng, and I have an item-finding characteristic, so we're all bringing something to the table. But if you feel this isn't fair, we can discuss it more."
Any props lying around in an instance belong to whoever finds them, which is hugely tempting for players. The bigger the temptation, the bigger the risk—especially from your own teammates. That's why they didn't dare work with a Rank-B player and instead opted for Xu Huo, who's known to keep his word after teaming up with Li Kun. For their own safety, though, their strategy was two versus one.
Xu Huo might have some kind of bottom line, but who knows if that holds up under huge temptation? Two people is just safer.
