Chapter 124: Anchor Camp 101 (20)
Suddenly, Lin Mutao saw a miniature dryad standing in the corner. It looked very similar to the dryad NPC in charge of the maze project outside, but it was shorter.
The mini tree spirit wears a mushroom hat on her head, stands on a small stake, and is taking a nap.
Lin Mutao walked over and asked tentatively, "Is it a staff member?"
Awakened by Lin Mutao's voice, the little tree spirit opened his eyes and glanced, then exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, someone really came to this ghost place! "
Lin Mutao: ? ? ?
Is the path she chose so unpopular?
Little Dryad coughed twice, and said in a very childish voice: "Dear tourist, welcome to the tree maze amusement project. As long as you answer one of my questions correctly, I will give you A tip about exporting."
Lin Mutao could hear the footsteps on the other end of the communicator stop, and it seemed that Shijiu was also listening.
Lin Mutao: "What is the prompt?"
"I can tell you how far you are from the exit of the maze in a straight line."
Line distance? This tip is quite useful!
Lin Mutao asked one more question, "Then if I answer incorrectly or fail to answer, is there any punishment?"
"I just forgot to mention that if you answer the question incorrectly, I will deduct the paint on your clothes. The area is only such a small piece."
Lin Mutao wants to say, this piece is not too small, okay!
This is equivalent to her passing through three intersections, and the deducted paint area is so large!
However, under the temptation of the prompt, Lin Mutao nodded and said, "Then ask."
Little Treant: "Dear tourist, please listen to the question! If you multiply the number of hairs of everyone in Paradise Island, what is the number?"
What? Lin Mutao poked out her ears to confirm whether she heard it wrong.
Is this question deliberately made to fix her? There are thousands of hair on one person alone, not to mention she doesn't know how many people there are on this paradise island.
Lin Mutao squatted down, her line of sight was level with the tree spirit.
Little Treant was looking at her with a smug expression, as if she was certain that she would definitely not be able to answer this question.
Little Dryad was jumping on the stake, "Please note, tourists, there is time to answer the question, you still have 15 seconds!"
Lin Mutao thought about it for a while, and said with certainty, "It's equal to 0."
The little tree-spirit slammed, and one fell from the stake. He sat on the ground and shouted in surprise: "How could you answer correctly?"
Lin Mutao: "Because everyone's hair is multiplied, as long as there is one person on Paradise Island who has a bald head, it will definitely be 0. Don't break your debt, don't tell me Not a single bald head among so many people."
"It's time to tell me a hint, how far is my current position from the maze?"
The little tree spirit lowered his head dejectedly, and said with a face of resignation: "Okay, dear tourist, you are now 1,500 meters away from the exit of the labyrinth."
What! 1500 meters! Or straight line distance? She has gone so far, why is she still so far from the exit?
Lin Mutao recalled for a moment, the range she saw just sitting on the tree wall, she felt that she was almost that far from the outermost periphery of the maze.
So she felt that she had walked for more than an hour, and at her speed, she should have almost reached the outermost passages of the maze. But I did not expect that there are still 1500 meters.
So—the quarter of the area she is walking now is definitely not where the exit of the maze is.
After saying goodbye to the dryad, Lin Mutao looked at the timer on her wrist and found that one hour and 40 minutes had passed.
Except for the little dryad's hint, Lin Mutao got nothing. Seeing that the two hours negotiated with Shijiu was about to come, Lin Mutao turned around and walked back, preparing to go to the square area in the center of the maze.
Because the return journey does not deduct the color, so there is no need to hesitate as when walking the maze. Lin Mutao's speed is faster than the maze.
When she walked to the square area, she found that Shijiu was already waiting for her there.
Shijiu looked a little dignified, he said, "Do you think that in the maze, we seem to be hungry faster?"
"I have this feeling." They came to the labyrinth project just after lunch, but after only staying in it for about three hours, Lin Mutao felt an empty stomach.
It seems that I really need to find the exit of the maze quickly.
Because of the conversation between Lin Mutao and the tree spirit, Shijiu had already heard it through the communicator, so Lin Mutao did not repeat it again, she looked at Shijiu and asked, "What did you find? ?"
Shijiu nodded, "I found the exit of the maze."
Lin Mutao's eyes widened, surprised and happy: "What? You found it! Where?"
"But the exit is gone."
"What do you mean?"
Shijiu explained: "When you were answering the little tree spirit, I walked two more intersections and found a door on the wall of the tree hole. There was also a sticker on it. A piece of paper that says the exit will disappear in 5 minutes."
5 minutes? Lin Mutao was silent, although there was a communicator between her and Shijiu, but in the huge maze, without Shijiu to lead the way, she couldn't quickly find Shijiu's location within 5 minutes.
Shijiu continued: "And there is a condition below, which means that only one person can leave the exit."
Lin Mutao reacted, this request is simply alienating them. This door allows one person to leave the maze directly. If two people find this door at the same time, who should let it go?
The two who came in as a team might fight and even kill because of this incident.
Shijiu: "That's why I didn't go through this door." He believed that if Lin Mutao encountered this choice, she would not have left directly.
Lin Mutao looked at Shijiu and asked curiously, "What if...there is really only one exit. Then what should we do?"
Shijiu replied: "I have thought about this question, and I think there should be more than one outlet."
"The hint from the dryad you got at that time was that your position was 1500 meters away from the exit position. But when you were answering the question, I walked through a few forks. The directions of several forks are approaching in your direction, so the distance between the two of us should not be far away, and it is impossible to be as far as 1,500 meters away in a straight line."
"And that maze exit is only 5 minutes away, and it will disappear. But the dryad can't control when the door will disappear.
If the door has disappeared after you answer the dryad's question, the dryad should directly say that there is no exit now, instead of telling you how far away is.
So the distance position indicated by the dryad should be 1500 meters away from a certain exit that will not disappear, not the exit I found. "
Lin Mutao nodded, "Even if the two of us were together and saw that exit, neither of us would have entered."
Lin Mutao took out some snacks from her backpack, handed it to Shijiu, and said, "Let's eat something first, and then we'll go to the right half of the maze and take a look ."
The two sat cross-legged on the ground and began to share the food.
Although I don't know how many areas in the left half have not been explored, but after so long, it should be almost the same. The color of their coats has basically gone half.
After the two rested, they walked towards the right half of the maze. They still acted separately, each walking along a fork in the road.
Because they are worried that they are going in the wrong direction, and they need to spend a certain amount of color to go back to the correct exit, they need to reserve a certain color area, so this time the two only explore Returned after about an hour.
The two stood in the square and looked at each other, then shook their heads, they still couldn't find the exit.
Like Shijiu, Lin Mutao encountered a door that would disappear, but again, only one person was allowed to leave. Lin Mutao chose to give up this opportunity.
They had been in the maze for almost 6 hours at this point.
The two of them sat on the ground and felt their stomachs empty and their stomachs overflowing with acid. It seems... the hunger is a little more violent.
The two were eating toast, and their brains were thinking.
Lin Mutao asked tentatively, "Are those exits that only allow one person to pass through are the correct maze exits? One person first finds an exit and leaves first, and then the other person finds the exit. leave?"
But as soon as this guess was raised, it was denied by Lin Mutao herself. If this is the case, then it completely violates the slogan of Paradise Island, although it is not yet known what the purpose of the slogan is.
The slogan of Paradise Island says that tourists are united and friendly, so the person who left the maze first did not achieve the word unity at all.
Shi Jiu said slowly: "I wonder if this maze is too difficult for two people who come in a team? The staff said that this maze can accommodate up to two people playing at the same time, but for For a single player, as long as he finds the door that will disappear, he can go straight away, and he doesn't have to worry about his teammates at all."
"But for a two-player team player, when encountering a door that will disappear, he can't abandon his teammates. Therefore, a two-player team player must pass through the maze intersection. , much more than a single player."
Lin Mutao looked down at her clothes after hearing what Shijiu said. Indeed, her clothes had changed from the previous color to only a small area of color remaining.
The maze is so big, basically the players in the team will choose to move separately, but if you want to walk all the maze, then there is no way for the two players to pass all the intersections. Before finding the exit, the clothes The colors will run out!
This... means that the exit of the maze that allows two people to leave together must be a place that can be found without going through so many colors!
Lin Mutao, who had figured out everything, stood up in surprise, she shouted, "Thank you, Ah Jiu! I seem to know!"
"The exit is very close to us!"
