Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Someone in the Wildlife Park Disagrees
Ya Chaohui disregarded the eyes around him and calmly said:
“The mouse is the only creature that can restrain the elephant and is likely to become the target of focus in the whole competition. Therefore, I believe the mouse player should be someone who can act swiftly, respond sensitively, and have certain self-defense capabilities.
Asarina is quite skilled and quite apt for the role. As for the cat, it’s optional, relatively safer than the mouse, and more suitable to be commanded by the King from behind.”
As Ya Chaohui finished, everyone looked at him, and then Bai Youwei.
The atmosphere was subtly grim.
Indeed he made some sense, but to say it bluntly like that, it was as if he was questioning the King’s decision.
Shen Mo furrowed his brows but remained silent.
He couldn’t defend Bai Youwei because doing so in this situation would not only not be helpful but would also make Bai Youwei seem incompetent.
Bai Youwei wasn’t angry. She sat in her wheelchair, slightly raising her chin, and indifferently looked at Ya Chaohui.
“You’re right … the mouse player must have self-defense capabilities, so, I’m the best choice.”
She gently stroked the plush rabbit in her arms. A weak layer of blue electrical light rippled out like waves. Zzzz-
Everyone felt a brief numbness from an electrical flow under their feet.
Everyone was dumbstruck: “….”
Anyone who could become the King naturally had some advantages. Ye Chong had the white gloves, while Bai Youwei had the rabbit.
Ya Chaohui gave a silent smile, tinged with some desolation: “Yeah, you have a rabbit, how could I forget… you still have this rabbit.”
Bai Youwei stroked the ears of her plush rabbit, ignoring Ya Chaohui’s fluctuating emotions, and just calmly said, “You all can rest assured, the mouse won’t be eliminated. Because no one can get near me.”
Her gaze swept over everyone’s faces.
“If there are no issues then let’s start the distribution of props.”
She handed out four mud pieces. One each to Shen Mo, Tan Xiao, Asarina, and Zhang Yu.
Eight people. Two sharing one mud piece is just right.
The incense in the censer had been burning for seven days and seven nights straight, increasing the mud piece’s usage to four more times than originally. It should be enough.
After that, Bai Youwei brought out four bundles of rope.
“The rope is just an ordinary rope. Take it, and when necessary, tie your opponents up and drag them into a trap,” Bai Youwei instructed, “The safest way to eliminate someone is to use a trap before finding out what animal they are.”
Asarina asked: “Should we sneak over there tonight? We might even gather some intelligence.”
“If you’re thinking of this strategy, the opponents will have corresponding precautions.” Bai Youwei disagreed, “Right now we only know that Ye Chong has white gloves, but what about his subjects? What is their strength? What tools do they have in their hands? What are their hidden trump cards? We know nothing about these, rushing over there might just be us walking into a trap.”
Tan Xiao had a sudden insight: “Weiwei, how about we lure them over and shock them all! How would that be?”
“Attacking an animal higher than yourself in the food chain will result in immediate elimination.” Bai Youwei gently shook her head, “The Sphere never introduced the rules with honesty. This time it didn’t explain whether ‘elimination’ meant leaving the battlefield or death. We can’t take that risk.”
Shen Mo nodded slightly and said in a low voice: “The Inspector emphasized many times that attacks have to follow the food chain order. If we can attack arbitrarily, the game would lose its original meaning.”
“Yes…” Bai Youwei threw a twig into the fire and said slowly, “With the restriction of the food chain, this game can’t be won quickly. It can only be a battle of attrition… Later, everyone should get familiar with their surroundings and rest early. Once it’s dawn, it’s time for the battle to officially start.”
