Chapter 86 (2/2)
Even Ningning’s mouth was gaping open as she watched Fu Wenduo sprinkling the bug on the turkey’s corpse.
Tang Mo spoke casually, “We can only get the reward after eating the bug. Don’t you want the reward? Or do you want to eat the bug directly?”
Everyone who just remembered the black tower’s clearance reward, “…”
Eating the bug compared to grinding it to powder and sprinkling it over the roasting turkey… everyone was silent.
…It was better to eat the bug flavoured roast turkey.
The big turkey was gradually cooked and Tang Mo cut the leg with a knife. He took the turkey leg and ate it, not showing any consideration to the children. Fu Wenduo had no interest in eating the turkey. He helped kill the turkey because he found that Tang Mo wanted to kill her. Once he found that eating one piece of turkey compared to eating a lot was the same when it came to improving physical ability, he lowered his knife and stopped eating the turkey.
The ones who ate the most were the two little girls and Xiao Qiao. In three minutes, the huge turkey was carved up by seven players. The next moment, the bug was eaten and the clear child’s voice rang in their ears.
“Ding dong! The ‘My Chicken Nest’ reward has been obtained.”
Tang Mo’s hand turned over and a small chicken nest appeared in his palm. Tang Mo quietly raised his head and looked at the closest person, Xiao Jitong. His eyes flashed when he saw the nest in the other person’s hand.
Tang Mo calmly put the nest into his pocket and didn’t directly check the effect of the prop.
Eat the big turkey and acquire the instance’s prop, the reality instance of the big turkey finally ended. Two little girls kept thanking Xiao Jitong’s group. The short-haired girl would’ve died in the instance without the Banana Wine. She kept stating that as long as she lived, she would find a way to get Banana Wine and repay them.
Before leaving, the two girls also thanked Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo again. However, there was a hint of vigilance and fear in their eyes. The game was over and they weren’t teammates anymore. It could be said that in the big turkey game, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo weren’t considered teammates and it was a temporary alliance at most.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had the strength to kill them but didn’t do so. They also helped everyone win the game together. The two girls were very grateful. Once the thanks ended, they left without turning back.The sky was dark and they needed to find a place to rest.
The two little girls left and only Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo and Xiao Jitong’s trio were left in the supermarket.
The five people walked out of the supermarket together.
The sun was currently setting. It might be the evening of the next day. The slightly warm spring breeze blew against their faces and the sun cast long shadows of the five people.
Tang Mo kept his hands in his pocket. He walked by Fu Wenduo’s side and the two men stepped forward to leave. Just then, a laughing voice was heard. “Mr. Victor, Mr. Tang Ji, you haven’t answered my question. Why were you so sure about the positions of the two girls in the line?”
Tang Mo’s footsteps stopped and he turned around.
At the entrance of the supermarket, a gentle and handsome man looked at Tang Mo with a smile. Xiao Jitong’s eyes contained no malice but there was a deep expression in them. If there was a question he didn’t understand, this person would always have an attitude of suspicion. He could give a reasonable answer to every one of Tang Mo’s speculations except for this one.
Why were the two girls in this order?
Why did Tang Mo ask those two questions at the end?
What exactly did he find from the two questions that gave him such a definite answer?
In the warm sunset, Xiao Jitong smiled softly while Tang Mo looked at him indifferently.
The two people looked at each other for a long time, Tang Mo’s finger tapping something in his pocket. He seemed to be knocking on something. In addition to reading lips, Ningning’s hearing was actually very amazing. She listened for a moment and thought that Tang Mo might be knocking on the chicken nest.
Tang Mo smiled. “Captain Xiao, I am like you and also believe in intuition.”
Xiao Jitong was stunned and soon understood Tang Mo’s meaning. Xiao Jitong had said the same thing when they lined up the second time. Fu Wenduo asked why he wanted the short-haired girl in front of the long-haired girl and Xiao Jitong replied, “I believe in my intuition.” In fact, Xiao Jitong, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo knew that they arranged it like this because they thought that the short-haired girl was stronger than the long-haired girl.
Now Tang Mo used this reason to shut Xiao Jitong’s mouth.
Xiao Jitong finally closed his lips and shook his head with a smile. Tang Mo’s reason really made him speechless. He knew that Tang Mo didn’t rely on intuition but he had no way to refute it.
At this moment, Xiao Jitong never imagined that in Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo’s pockets, a turkey egg was faintly shining. It had been flashing for an entire hour and the two owners chose not to load the file, causing the saving time to be over.
Regardless of any questions he asked the big turkey, Tang Mo knew that he couldn’t determine the correct order of the two girls. Apart from his subjective determination of how was weak and strong, the positions of these two girls couldn’t be known. The insidious turkey wouldn’t tell them the most important information so after the third round of the Eagle Catches the Chicks game, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo unanimously decided to open the archiver.
They already knew the order of the other five people and it was a one in two chance. Either the short-haired girl was in fourth or the long-haired girl was.
They had a chance to do it again and they absolutely wouldn’t lose.
Therefore, the questions became inconsequential. Tang Mo asked three questions. The first two questions were essentially the same because he wanted to know how the big turkey would answer if a player asked two identical questions.
The answer was that players couldn’t ask the same question and the big turkey would let them change the question.
The second time, Tang Mo wanted to know what would happen when there was only one player left.
More than 150 people had died here and there would certainly be times when a player was the only one left. What happened in the end since the person didn’t survive? The big turkey gave Tang Mo an ambiguous answer but Tang Mo vaguely guessed the last truth.
Once a player lived to the end after killing their teammates, the big turkey would tell them in a loving and ruthless tone, “Child, you have to line up to eat the bug.”
They had to line up from beginning to end. No matter how many teammates died, they still had to line up. There was only one person left so that one person had to stand in line with corpses. This game didn’t care about how many people could survive. There was only one way to win: line up and eat the bug.
This was also the first question that Tang Mo asked the big turkey and she didn’t lie. It was the final truth.
In this world dominated by the black tower, having a trusted teammate was the greatest fortune. Tang Mo recalled the bloody and violent big turkey and understood that without powerful masters like Fu Wenduo and Ningning, it would be really difficult to survive this game.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo walked quickly and were about to disappear around the corner when a voice was heard behind them.
“Mr. Fu.”
Fu Wenduo stopped.
The sun sank below the horizon as Fu Wenduo turned to look at Xiao Jitong.
Tang Mo heard this and also turned around to warily stare at Xiao Jitong, Xiao Qiao and Ningning. The little boy looked like he didn’t understand what was going on. Ningning’s hand was on her crossbow, ready to attack.
Xiao Jitong was smiling the whole time.
Fu Wenduo’s lips curved. “Captain Xiao, what’s the matter?”
Xiao Jitong smiled. “I think you wanted something from us. Is it my mistake? You know that I suspect that ‘killing players won’t be able to clear the game’ and that it is impossible to take anyone’s life. Therefore, you deliberately revealed your names and confessed to us…” Xiao Jitong paused before laughing. “Mr. Tang Ji is China’s strongest stowaway Fu Wenduo and you are the very powerful Mr. Tang Mo. The two of you suddenly appeared in Nanjing. You shouldn’t be just casually passing by?”
The little boy was stunned after hearing ‘Fu Wenduo’ before crying out, “He is Fu Wenduo?!”
Ningning replied coldly, “Yes.”
Xiao Qiao wondered, “Then why didn’t I know?”
Ningning answered, “Because you are stupid.”
Xiao Qiao, “…”
Xiao Jitong stated, “You should have something you want to do in Nanjing. Tell us and we will see if we can help in this matter. You must want to use the strength of our Nanjing Strategy Group or the Nanjing Group to do something. My guess…” Xiao Jitong touched his chin and pretended to think for a moment. “Is it to find someone?”
Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed.
Xiao Jitong laughed. “You are really looking for someone?”
Xiao Jitong just finished speaking when Ningning let out a sound of realization. Her eyes changed and she spoke in a strange tone, “That kid always said that he didn’t know Fu Wenduo. He said that Fu Wenduo is a bastard and that if he sees Fu Wenduo, he will cut him into a hundred pieces. He hates Fu Wenduo for pulling him into the tower attack game. Shouldn’t he have no relationship with Fu Wenduo?”
Fu Wenduo, “…”
Tang Mo, “…”
Fu Wensheng sneezed after just exiting an instance. He touched his nose and looked at his teammates. “Shouldn’t the weather be warming up?”
