Having an extra ally is always better than having an extra enemy.
Tu Dan brought Zhang Tianyang over to Shen Mo’s side, and first thanked Teacher Chang. Zhang Tianyang, the sunny, tall boy, straightforwardly bowed to Chang Weicai.
Chang Weicai, holding a pot in his hand, couldn’t avoid it and put down the soup pot to smile at him and asked, “Are you fully recovered now?”
“I’m completely fine!” Zhang Tianyang said with a smile, “I was unable to eat due to the pain from my wound, and was bedridden for two or three days due to hunger. Now, after a good meal and drink, there’s no problem at all!”
“That’s good to hear.” Chang Weicai replied with a pleasant expression, “Be careful in the future. Consider carefully before taking action, so as to avoid future troubles.
Zhang Tianyang repeatedly affirmed his words.
After expressing gratitude, it was time to delve into the main topic.
Tu Dan carefully sorted out her words, and cautiously proposed, “In the last game, we coincidentally obtained some information about the maze. We thought of trying our luck, but didn’t expect to meet you guys… Since we’re together again, should we cooperate in the next few days and try to find the exit together?”
The soft voice of Bai Youwei was unusually noticeable at this time.
She stared at him with cat-like eyes, looking at Tu Dan and then Zhang
Tianyang standing next to her, and said, “We probably can’t cooperate, can
Shen MO lightly tussled her hair and said, “Stop being silly.”
“I’m not being silly, we just can’t cooperate.” Bai Youwei said innocently, “Didn’t you see the ropes and flags they brought? There are probably only about a hundred flags, divided into three colors, which means only about thirty flags of each kind. It’s definitely not enough to cover the entire maze. They probably plan to go forward in a progressive manner, which is different from us.”
Zhang Tianyang’s eyebrows lifted in surprise as he looked at Bai Youwei.
Though he had already heard from his teacher that she was smart, he never thought that from the ropes and flags in their hands, she could deduce their upcoming strategy.
Flags are of limited quantity. If the maze has ten thousand forks, they could not possibly prepare ten thousand flags. So, they had to choose a starting line and orderly advance forward. The areas they’ve passed were left behind, becoming a “waste area”, while the flags were always placed in the “new area” ahead, repeating this cycle.
If the maze was likened to a face of a clock, then they were like the second hand, eventually tracking a complete circle.
Shen MO, who didn’t pay much attention to the surprise on Tu Dan and Zhang
Tianyang’s faces, casually asked Bai Youwei, “Oh, then what is our strategy?”
Bai Youwei pondered for a while and turned to look at Shen Mo: “Yarn Ball Method? Sunflower Method? … Which one sounds better?”
Zhang Tianyang understood, “You guys are using the point-to-area method? Starting from one point, dividing the maze into several areas, and then exploring each area one by one. Is that it?”
Bai Youwei ignored him, she tugged at Shen MO and asked, “Which one sounds better?”
Shen MO loosened Bai Youwei’s hand, and responded to Tu Dan, “Our strategies are indeed very different. Besides, seeing how well-prepared you are, I don’t think you would switch to our method. Likewise, it seems unnecessary for us to join you. Since we can’t cooperate, we better move separately.”
Tu Dan looked disappointed, but she could understand and nodded, “Fine, it seems there’s no other way.”
It was a pity that she was unable to form a strong alliance, but her main goal of this trip was not to create enemies, so she reluctantly accepted this outcome.
Just as she was about to say goodbye, Zhang Tianyang could not stay silent and said, “Mr. Shen! Your method is too time-consuming, why don’t you join us?” “Tianyang.” Tu Dan frowned and called out to him.
Zhang Tianyang insisted, “Isn’t it faster to find the exit if we work together? Teacher Tu, you also persuade them!”
“Haha… this is killing me,” Bai Youwei again clung to Shen Mo’s arm,” Don’t pay them any heed. Their method has a major flaw.. Let them fumble around!”
