Having an extra ally is always better than having an extra enemy.
Tu Dan brought Zhang Tianyang over to Shen Moâs 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, couldnât avoid it and put down the soup pot to smile at him and asked, âAre you fully recovered now?â
âIâm completely fine!â Zhang Tianyang said with a smile, âI 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, thereâs no problem at all!â
âThatâs good to hear.â Chang Weicai replied with a pleasant expression, âBe 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, âIn the last game, we coincidentally obtained some information about the maze. We thought of trying our luck, but didnât expect to meet you guys⦠Since weâre together again, should we cooperate in the next few days and try to find the exit together?â
âCooperate?â
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, âWe probably canât cooperate, can
Shen MO lightly tussled her hair and said, âStop being silly.â
âIâm not being silly, we just canât cooperate.â Bai Youwei said innocently, âDidnât 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. Itâs definitely not enough to cover the entire maze. They probably plan to go forward in a progressive manner, which is different from us.â
Zhang Tianyangâs 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 theyâve passed were left behind, becoming a âwaste areaâ, while the flags were always placed in the ânew areaâ 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 didnât pay much attention to the surprise on Tu Dan and Zhang
Tianyangâs faces, casually asked Bai Youwei, âOh, then what is our strategy?â
Bai Youwei pondered for a while and turned to look at Shen Mo: âYarn Ball Method? Sunflower Method? ⦠Which one sounds better?â
Zhang Tianyang understood, âYou 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?â
Bai Youwei ignored him, she tugged at Shen MO and asked, âWhich one sounds better?â
Zhang Tianyang,
Shen MO loosened Bai Youweiâs hand, and responded to Tu Dan, âOur strategies are indeed very different. Besides, seeing how well-prepared you are, I donât think you would switch to our method. Likewise, it seems unnecessary for us to join you. Since we canât cooperate, we better move separately.â
Tu Dan looked disappointed, but she could understand and nodded, âFine, it seems thereâs no other way.â
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, âMr. Shen! Your method is too time-consuming, why donât you join us?â âTianyang.â Tu Dan frowned and called out to him.
Zhang Tianyang insisted, âIsnât it faster to find the exit if we work together? Teacher Tu, you also persuade them!â
âHaha⦠this is killing me,â Bai Youwei again clung to Shen Moâs arm,â Donât pay them any heed. Their method has a major flaw.. Let them fumble around!â
