Completing the puzzle allows one to clear all game levels—
This means liberating oneself from the nightmare-like games once and for all. Therefore, the puzzle pieces were obviously precious and scarce resources!
Yet, for most people, the value of a puzzle piece merely lies in the one-time exemption it provides.
“If we really want to do this, passing on the information could be an issue.” Shen MO said.
“As long as someone is still alive, they can definitely deliver the message.” Bai Youwei didn’t worry at all. “Didn’t Teacher Chang see some parts of the city lit up today? There must be people living there, as long as we put out the message, trading goods for puzzles, I refuse to believe people wouldn’t want that.”
“Huh?” Tan Xiao was surprised. “Trade by using our items? Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
“Of course it wouldn’t be a straight one for one trade.” Bai Youwei pondered. “I would like to trade one for ten, but I guess there aren’t many people who have spare puzzle pieces currently. One for five or one for three are both possibilities.”
She looked up at everyone: “What do you guys think?”
Shen MO pondered for a moment, then replied: “I have no objections.”
In the short term, items are important, but in the long run, puzzle pieces hold more value.
Chang Weicai also agreed: “Completing the puzzle requires persistence and determination, I have no objections too.”
Tan Xiao glanced at Shen MO, then at Chang Weicai, puzzled: “Do we even have so many items to trade…? I only have one badge whose use I don’t understand…’
[Friendship Badge: Helped the princess find her lost golden ball, you have become a friend of the princess.]
The use of this item was unclear, because no one knew what benefit could be gained from being a friend of the princess.
Bai Youwei patted her “prosperous” canvas bag. “I still have lots. If not enough, we can earn more from games! That’s still better than running through the maze again and again, how exhausting!”
Tan Xiao:
My goodness, I think running games is no less strenuous than running mazes!
Shen MO checked the time and told everyone: “It’s getting late, let’s all go back to our rooms to rest. Tomorrow morning, we’ll look around again, get to understand the situation. If there are no issues, we’ll enter the maze in the afternoon. ”
Everyone exchanged looks and nodded unanimously.
Bai Youwei reminded Shen Mo: “Don’t forget to pick loquats before entering the maze.”
“…” Shen MO gave her a helpless look, “Don’t worry, I won’t forget.”
The next morning.
Shen MO and his team packed up their belongings, got in their car, and slowly drove along the streets on the outskirts of the fog.
They occasionally ran into people.
Unlike the folks in Yangzhou, who gathered near Yangzhou Port waiting for rescue, people in Hangzhou were scattered throughout the city, cautiously keeping a certain distance from the fog in the city center.
When they saw Shen MO’s car, everyone turned vigilant, standing in their place with suspicion and showing a posture that screamed caution, as if Shen MO and his team were intruders.
“These people are weird.” Through the car window, Tan Xiao noticed two more people collecting supplies by the roadside and hesitated, “Should we get out and ask them?”
“No rush,” Shen MO’s glance was indifferent and he looked forward. “The mental state of these people is overly tense. They would probably have run away before we can even park our car properly. Let’s take a look ahead first.” The vehicle continued to move forward.
After traveling a short distance, they passed by an intersection where Shen MO saw about ten or so people sorting and packing things from a store onto a tricycle.
All men, ranging from teenagers, to those in their twenties or even forties, each played their role.
When they saw the off-road vehicle, they were also quite vigilant, but possibly due to their numbers, they didn’t seem afraid or nervous at all, and continued their sorting without pausing.
Shen MO parked the car across the street, got out, called Tan Xiao over, and together they went over to ask for information.
Teacher Chang was worried that they might get into a conflict, he stood by the car nervously watching.
Bai Youwei was also looking out from the window—..
