I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 91 - 91: 91: There’s a Puzzle in the Maze

Translator: 549690339

There were five people who saved the students, three men and two women.

After they rescued Tu Dan and her group, they asked her whether there was fog in Hangzhou City. At that time, Tu Dan had just escaped from Hangzhou with her students and encountered the game; she was in a state of shock.

She didn’t understand why these people were courting death, but still guided them. Meanwhile, she heard a fat man saying, “Hurry up, don’t let others beat us to it!”

Another woman casually replied, “What’s the rush? Everyone in the maze is probably dead. Who will compete with us…”

In the time it took for these exchanges, their vehicle had already driven off. Tu Dan didn’t take it to heart. She was focusing on how to seek refuge in Yangzhou, but never expected that there was a dense fog in Yangzhou, too, and the rescue ship hadn’t arrived.

Later, Tu Dan and the students gradually calmed down.

They found a place to settle down, then re-analyzed the message in the Brocade Bag, combing it with the last two comments from the group, and concluded:

One, there’s a maze in the fog;

Two, there’s a puzzle within the maze.

The quantity of the puzzle should be limited, otherwise the fat man wouldn’t use the word “snatch”. The note in the Brocade Bag mentioned, “Completing the puzzle will clear all the games”, which proves the puzzle is extremely valuable.

That is why Tu Dan hesitated and didn’t clearly explain everything to Shen Mo.

She wanted to fight for more chances for herself and the students.

Now, Zhang Tianyang made everything clear, stared at Bai Youwei, and asked, “Now can you tell me? What’s the problem with our approach?”

Bai Youwei said, “There’s no problem.”

Zhang Tianyang’s eyes widened, “You!…”

“Don’t rush. There’s a ‘but’.” Bai Youwei smiled. “There’s no problem with the approach, but the error tolerance is almost zero. That is to say, once a mistake is found along the way, you must start over.”

“So, you are quite sure that we will make a mistake?” Zhang Tianyang asked, unconvinced.

“Because you are human.” Bai Youwei shrugged, expressing a matter-of-fact manner. “As long as you’re human, you’ll certainly make mistakes. You can’t guarantee that your classmates are as smart and careful as you, or that they won’t go in the wrong direction in the corridor. Just think, when you progress 80% through the maze using your advancement method, and then find that the latest corridor is a dead end, and the correct corridor has been missed without your realizing it, if you go back to check, how are you going to do it?

Don’t you have to start from the beginning?”

Zhang Tianyang’s face turned from white to a forbidding shade of green.

Bai Youwei spread her hands, “If you don’t believe me, that’s alright. After all, if I were you, I would now go and check if there is any problem with the progress just made.”

Zhang Tianyang was silent for a moment with his lips tightly pressed, then suddenly turned and walked towards the maze passage.

“Tianyang!” Tu Dan quickly reached out to stop him. “Don’t be reckless, it’s getting late! ”

“It’s okay, Teacher Tu, I’m just going to take a quick look, I won’t go too deep.” Zhang Tianyang forced a smile and replied, “Besides, there are lights everywhere here; there’s enough light.”

He insisted on going.

Tu Dan had to look after the other students and couldn’t accompany him, so she yelled to the group of students, “Yang Yi, go with Zhang Tianyang.”

A tall boy stood up and went with Zhang Tianyang.

The other students were left with mixed expressions, clustered in front of their tents, discussing quietly:

“Is our approach really not working?”

“I am not sure… Hey, did you plant the flags correctly when you were doing it?”

“I think I did, how about you?”

“I don’t know…”

After a short while, Zhang Tianyang and Yang Yi returned.

Both boys had their heads down and shoulders drooped, looking somewhat disheartened.

Chen Hui brought over two bottles of water and asked, “How did it go? Did you find anything?”

“…Yes.” Yang Yi took a sip of water, his gaze shifted to Zhang Tianyang beside him, “There was a flag misplaced..”
