“Shen MO tried to gather everyone’s opinions as much as possible.
He knew that by involving everyone, he could strengthen their unity and keep an eye on everyone’s status. His approach was largely the same as when he trained his previous squad before.
Master Cheng said, “Mazes are generally divided into simple mazes and complex mazes. There are two methods to navigate them; one is from the outside in, and the other is from the inside out. We seem to be in the center of the maze now. If this is the starting point of the maze, then the end point should be around the edges.”
Tan Xiao also, surprisingly, made a serious comment, “I have experience with mazes. With three steps, you can navigate any maze—
First, choose any path and move forward once you enter the maze;
Second, if you encounter a dead end, immediately turn back and make a mark at the intersection;
Third, if you come across a fork, choose a path you haven’t taken yet. If you’ve taken all paths, turn back and mark the original fork.
Repeat the second and third steps until you find the exit.”
After he spoke, he touched his nose and added in a quieter voice, “I searched for maze strategies on gaming forums. With these, I cleared the Crystal Tower in ‘Final Fantasy’, the Poker Maze in ‘Legend of Hope’, and the Four Towers in ‘Trails in the Sky’…”
Shen MO, who never played games, asked, “What is that?”
Bai Youwei laughed, “Those are RPG games from a hundred years ago.”
Tan Xiao gave Bai Youwei an approving look!
‘…” Shen Mo was speechless. He turned his gaze away and looked down at Bai Youwei, “And you, what are your thoughts about this place?”
Bai Youwei pondered with her chin in her hand.
“I think…” she started slowly, “… I want to have a barbecue first.”
Shen Mo: “Are you serious?”
Bai Youwei feigned innocence, “What’s wrong with wanting something different to eat after days of ramen and plain porridge?”
Tan Xiao quickly added, “There’s a Korean barbecue restaurant on the way here! They’ll definitely have meat in their freezer!”
Master Cheng said, “Since the maze is so large and we can’t leave for a while, we should gather supplies first. We need many things for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation…”
He somehow felt that he had been demoted.
From an adventure team leader to a tour guide.
Top-quality snowflake-style beef and pork belly were sizzling on the grill. There were other uncooked ingredients such as three different types of pork belly, tender beef tongue, squid tentacles, chicken wings, bacon, beef tripe, onions, potatoes, and enoki mushrooms…
Shen MO sat amid the bustling, smoky atmosphere, feeling somewhat out of place.
“Why the long face?” Bai Youwei bit down on a chicken bone, her crunching sounds full of satisfaction.
Shen Mo, still on high alert, muttered, “I’m not hungry, you guys eat.”
Bai Youwei: “You may not eat, but you can grill, right?”
She pushed a plate of ribeye steak into his hands: “Here, grill this.”
Shen MO was quiet for a while, then sighed inwardly, picked up the tongs, and joined the grilling team.
The grill sizzled with the aroma of grilling meat wafting in the air.
Tan Xiao was sweating profusely from the heat, drinking chilled beer in large gulps. He hadn’t enjoyed himself this much in a long time.
He bit into a piece of streaky bacon and mumbled, “Is it really… appropriate for us to eat ?”
Shen MO transferred the grilled meat into Bai Youwei’s plate. He thought to himself: I knew it was inappropriate.
“Eat up.” Bai Youwei said, “We’ll need our strength for the work ahead.” Shen MO gave her a glance.
As she casually ate, Bai Youwei remarked, “Actually, I have an idea….”
