Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Tadpole Looking for its Mother

The frog had exited the game prematurely, but Jin Qiu had yet to appear.
Chang Weicai listed down innumerable formulas tirelessly, murmuring as he worked, “Initial angle about 45 degrees, bounces back after hitting the stone wall, here it’s about…120 degrees, deflects to the lower right…60 degrees…No, that’s not right, the incident angle and reflection angle form an isosceles triangle, which allows us to determine the path of the ball after it bounces… No, that’s not right either, this approach applies to a flat rectangle, but we are dealing with a cone now, what is the formula for a cone…”
Drops of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. His right hand was shivering, as his face grew paler and paler.
He suddenly loathed himself, why was he a language teacher?
If he were a math teacher, perhaps he could come up with a solution at this moment to save himself and everyone trapped with him!
Not that language teachers are any less capable than math teachers, however, at this particular time…
Plonk.
The pen slipped from his powerless hand and fell into the mud.
He quickly bent down to pick it up.
“Stop it,” Shen MO interjected calmly, “Jin Qiu bounces more than 60 times every time. If we want to find its landing point by calculating every single move, we need massive calculations. Here, without a computer, paper, pen, and enough time, it’s impossible.”
Besides, Chang Weicai was merely a language teacher and not proficient in math.
Shen MO didn’t say this out loud, but everyone present understood it crystal clear.
“Next round, we kill the frog,” Shen MO was holding a knife, the blade slowly grinding against the snail’s shell. “Those who want to help, prepare well.”
With his words falling, everyone looked different.
Tan Xiao seemed to be agonizing about how he could possibly help without any weapons.
Chang Weicai looked desolate, submerged in deep self-blame.
Hui Ge and Monkey looked grim, unwilling to confront the giant frog and yet not ready to give up and wait for death.
Interestingly, Zhang Hua had come out of the snail shell, eyeing Hui Ge and Monkey darkly.
And Bai Youwei…
Bai Youwei was also watching Hui Ge and Monkey.
Shen MO took in everyone’s reactions and felt a surge of indescribable restlessness. Suppressing his emotions, he calmly asked Bai Youwei, “What are you looking at?”
Bai Youwei refocused and lifted her head, “Oh, nothing much.”
A few seconds pause, noticing Shen MO still looking at her, she spoke, “Just a bit worried, you taking on that monster alone, it’s dangerous.”
Somewhere in Shen Mo’s mind, something clicked. His lips pressed into a tight line. After a moment, he said, “It’s not that dangerous, it’s made of flesh and blood. It’s easier to handle than guns and shells.” He carried Bai Youwei back into the snail’s shell.
Just at that moment, Jin Qiu popped up.
“The current game has failed, with 7 players surviving, now entering the eighth round of ‘Frog’s Golden Ball’… ‘
The repeated lines were getting monotonous even for Jin Qiu. It yawned after its bounce and grumbled, “The frog isn’t trying hard enough, it only ate a single fatty, oh well, now it’s up to me to figure something out-Everyone went on high alert as they heard Jin Qiu’s voice again:
“Froggy go home, tadpoles find mommy– Froggy go home, tadpoles find mommy-
The ground started shaking again, the mud soup stirred!
It felt as if the giant beast was about to sweep over them again!
But it was different this time.
There were more, much more!
Black tadpoles began to bubble up from the mud! They were packed tightly, each one as huge as a bathtub!
They wagged their tails excitedly and opened their keratin-filled mouths, scrambling towards the snails!
Shen MO killed one with a knife, then pulled Bai Youwei out of the shell as fast as possible, lifted her waist-high and put her on the back of a snail!
Bai Youwei’s face was pale, but her eyes were fixated elsewhere. Following her gaze, Shen MO saw Hui Ge and Monkey running in terror.
In an instant, the mortal peril and long-held suspicions ignited into rage!
He clenched his hand around Bai Youwei’s neck and, through gritted teeth, asked: “You knew how to finish the game all along, didn’t you?!”
