Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Holding a Small Meeting

The impression Bai Youwei usually gives people often includes a few characteristics:

1. She’s in a wheelchair;

2. She holds a plush rabbit;

3. She has a canvas bag hanging on her wheelchair.

The canvas bag contains her personal items and props. Everyone takes this for granted, assuming she plans to use her props as weapons.

But a bag that big, sure does arouse one’s curiosity.

Jiang Hao’s glance lingered on the canvas bag a few seconds longer.

“Alright, now that we have weapons, let’s discuss how to kill Mary and the cat!”

Zhao Mingdeng is always the most enthusiastic one. His enthusiasm for the game is palpable—his tone is like discussing game strategies on a forum.

“I believe! The primary strategy of the game should focus on Mary, not the cat!

The cat is as big as a bus. An average human is no match for it, let alone killing it! But Mary, you’ve seen her, haven’t you? Mary is about the height of a human girl, even more frail than an average one! Clearly much easier to deal with!”

“What you’re saying, previous players must have thought of.” Lun Ang frowned in disagreement, “I actually think Mary is a trap. The game might be taking advantage of our mentality, making us think Mary is easy to deal with, as a result, everyone ends up dead.”

Zhao Mingdeng widened his eyes: “Are you suggesting we deal directly with the cat? Such a big animal, even if ten of us attack it together, we might not be able to kill it!”

These knives and swords would probably amount to nothing more than toothpicks when used against the cat!

“I do have another approach,” Yan Qingwen interjected from the side.

Everyone turned towards him.

“Whether we are dealing with the cat or Mary, as long as we target one, we’ll inevitably encounter the other,” said Yan Qingwen calmly. “What if we separate them, might the outcome be different?”

Zhao Mingdeng’s eyes lit up instantly, “That’s a great idea! According to the game data, Mary and the cat are always together. Particularly the cat, it’s almost invincible, if we separate them, there might be openings on both sides?!”

“But how can we separate Mary from the cat?” Yu Yaqing asked.

Yan Qingwen thought for a moment, looked at everyone and said, “We could set up a trap to separate Mary from the cat. But this method comes with its own risk, moreover, we must plan our escape route in advance. After all, none of us can be sure what will happen once the two are separated.”

“How long will it take to set up a trap?” Shen Mo asked.

Yan Qingwen glanced around and quickly came up with a few plans in his mind. He answered, “About 40 minutes.”

“And planning the escape route?” Shen Mo asked again.

Yan Qingwen replied with a slight smile, “At least two hours.”

Tan Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim, “Really? It takes that long?!”

“Two hours is actually a shorter estimate.” Shen Fei commented seriously, “Planning an escape is not about running around aimlessly. It involves intricate calculations to utilize terrain and environmental features, artificially designing about three to five blind spots to aid safe escape. Moreover, the direction of escape cannot be the same for everyone. So, the number of required escape routes equals the number of participants. This requires a high level of computational proficiency!”

Upon finishing his statement, Shen Fei gave Yan Qingwen a look of admiration.

Rational, wise, and calm, that’s the type of friend his cousin should be making!

As opposed to hanging out with Wang Jingxian’s daughter and knowing all sorts of riffraff! It’s as if a top student has been led astray by bad kids, beyond redemption!

Yan Qingwen, with a teasing smile, said to Shen Mo, “If you get Weiwei to help me, perhaps we can save some time.”
